What news from the frontline?

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Some varying injury news this morning for weekend opponents Celtic and Kilmarnock.
Celtic and Scotland fans will be pleased to hear that John Kennedy is about to get his first action (footballing, I hasten to add) in over two years today against Motherwell reserves at Fir Park. But David Fernandez picked up cruciate ligament damage […]

Who you gonna Coll?

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

You know, the past few seasons Hibs have reminded me an awful lot of myself - youthful, dynamic, fiery and unpredictable. Last night they only reinforced this reputation during a bit of a sizzler up in Aberdeen.
With the influential Scott Brown suspended, Chris Killen living up to his surname and general ill-discipline throughout the […]

Good Weekend/Bad Weekend

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Good weekend for…
Pressley, Hartley, Gordon - the Hearts trio’s act of bravery has probably only hastened their departure off the biggest sinkingest ship since the makers of a big boat in 1912 said, “oh yeah, about those icebergs…”
Maurice Malpas - Motherwell hardly hit the heights but took a point from Ibrox. After a shaky […]

Managerial Roundabout: A Fairy Story

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Little Craig enjoyed nothing more in life than playing on the park roundabout. All day long he would play and play and even though he couldn’t get it to spin as fast as some of the other boys like Martin or Alex, he was nonetheless a happy little boy. The boys and girls would come […]

Hearts attack from within

By: Craig | Comments 1 Comment

The plot thickens at Hearts! With the odd exception, captain Steven Pressley had kept his poker face up till now during the general insanity of the Romanov revolution. But today Elvis, flanked by Craig Gordon and Paul Hartley, finally let slip what we all suspected - the players have had it up to here.
While Pressley […]

Scots to get chance in Glasgow shocker!

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Some depressingly familiar noises for Celtic fans are emanating from the boardroom these days, with chairman Brian Quinn admitting the league-leaders won’t pay over the odds to keep Shaun Maloney in the Hoops.
Meanwhile, across Glasgow, Rangers are demonstrating renewed commitment to a Scottish core at the club, with Paul Le Guen announcing an impending […]

Stevie G to Dundee?!

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Dundee have snapped up Liverpool youth academy graduate Jon Boggan - and Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen are expected to follow him to Tayside.
Sadly for Dark Blues fans, they’ll merely be taking a seat in the stands, if they take up the invite for a truly Boggan afternoon of football.

The Top Flight Tussle

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

The weekend’s big match could conceivably involve four clubs.
On the face of it, Dundee Utd’s visit to Falkirk is little more than a lower-table scrap, but with The Demon Grocer rapidly losing patience, Craig Brewster needs a win or it looks like game over for the prodigal son.
Since yesterday morning’s initial euphoria over Craig […]

The phone call that was simply pie in the sky

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

When he was not setting off fireworks in neighbours’ gardens, chatting up air hostesses or entering rehab, Fernando Ricksen had his fair share of brushes with the enemy during his time in Glasgow. On the pitch he was the thorn - actually, make that studs - in Celtic’s side during many an Old Firm clash […]

Levein on standby as Dunfermline un-Leished

By: Craig | Comments No Comments

Scottish football’s honorary walrus has had quite enough, thankyouverymuch, and will not be at the helm of this year’s East End Park Relegation Dogfight (ever wondered why it’s never anything but a dogfight?). With Burns Night now only three months away, Jim Leishman will surely now have plenty of time to devote to poetry without […]
