The Top Flight Tussle - Aberdeen v Rangers
By: Craig |It’s Christmas time and all ye faithful of Ibrox are coming to the Highlands for the holidays. After this, it’s off to Inverness for the Boxing Day game. Back in June when the fixtures were drawn up, the Gers fans were raging, adamant that they’d been treated in an excremental manner. Or something to that […]
Scottish clubs braced for number one hits
By: Craig |Jens Lehmann is one of those characters we all love in football: big, aggressive and stark raving bonkers. The fact that he’s a German only adds to the enigma. That said, he’s not prepared to be made a fool of. Arsene Wenger is adamant that, like all thirty-somethings at Arsenal, the stopper must sign rolling […]
Gorgie Gossip
By: Craig |It’s official: Vladimir Romanov is at war with Hearts’ supporters. The Hearts Supporters Trust drafted an open letter today and, well, let’s just say it probably wasn’t tucked inside a Christmas card. Pressleygate was ‘the last straw’, the club has become ‘a circus freak show’ and has gone ‘from being the best thing in Scottish […]
Good Weekend/Bad Weekend
By: Craig |Good weekend for…
Rangers - The Gers will be happy to have surrendered second place for a performance that shows they can at least give the champions a game.
The crowd at Inverness-Killie - Seven goals, top-drawer saves, penalty incidents galore…how this stayed goalless after 68 minutes is anyone’s guess.
Craig Brewster - He just turned 40 and […]
The Top Flight Tussle - Rangers v Celtic
By: Craig |Well, what were you expecting? OK, so there might be the small matter of 16 points between the two, but Sunday lunchtime’s fixture remains the undisputed heavyweight of Scottish football, albeit one now played out far too often than it should. This being PLG’s first crack at Ibrox against the Hoops, he has the chance […]
Scotland in Europe - Lennart’s elves unwrap some corkers
By: Craig |In between preparations for Sunday lunchtime, the Old Firm have managed to squeeze in some important overseas business. Ronjers managed a functional 1-0 win over Belgrade last night thanks to Alan Hutton’s second-half header.
The result had no bearing on today’s events in Nyon, where three lucky Uefa suits got to open their Christmas presents […]
Stan turns his back on Vlad
By: Craig |Few stories encapsulate the slave-like devotion and yet utter buffoonery of the average football fan than this one today of a quite unique Edinburgh Tattoo. Hearts supporter Stan Thomson is all set to go under the laser just six months after splashing out £1000 of his hard-earned on an almighty back tattoo of just seven […]
Scotland in Europe - Even the Partizans ain’t fussed
By: Craig |As I write, Rangers are just about to kick off in their last pre-Christmas game in Europe (it’s nice to be able to phrase it like that) against Partizan Belgrade. Like Celtic, they’ve secured qualification - indeed first place - already. The fact the game is going ahead is testimony to the Rangers groundstaff as […]
Sectarian chants are increasingly pointless
By: Craig |They’d better not shout. They’d better not cry. They’d better not pout and, by gosh, I’ll tell you why! The SFA will fine them in pounds.
And that might not be the end of it. Any more nonsense from them two on the left and, from the start of next season, points docking looks likely to […]
Will the final be played at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch?
By: Craig |Like the man on the left, we haven’t had a number one finish in ages. Indeed, for us Scots, any chance to qualify for a major tournament these days will be grabbed with both hands. In a case of dejá vu, we may be about to try a familiar route.
Scotland ain’t half made the football […]
