Yeah, I know. It’s an overdone blogging subject, but I am celebrating my triumphant return to the interwebs today and I figured I would go looking for some butt-ugly SPL jerseys from years past. Here’s how I’m scoring them. First, a 1 to 10 of ugly. Pure ugly. Then, I’m […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
Well, Pars are out thanks to a pair of lackluster (to put it kindly) matches against Hacken, but three Scottish sides remain in European competition, with Celtic and Rangers both in the Champions League and Aberdeen in the UEFA Cup. Here are their draws:
Celtic
JT’s right - this is going to be a tough group. […]
Category: Scottish Premier LeagueSPL Words of the Week from Anatoliy Karobochka
By: Ian Rose | No Comments
This week’s quote is from Hearts football director Anatoliy Karobochka, who has finally explained, briefly and succinctly, what it takes to win a Champions League football match.
He told the Scotsman:
“Spartak are totally capable of getting past Celtic though. The main thing is that they don’t concede a goal and score themselves.”
That’s right, folks. It’s […]

Craig Brewster is set to return officially to Inverness Caley Thistle today, in preparation for their League Cup second-round match with Arbroath tomorrow. The 40-year-old is going to be welcomed not only as a replacement for Charlie Christie, but as a potent offensive players, having scored three goals in the past two matches for […]

Hey kids. I now pronounce myself worst. blogger. ever. It’s been a busy week of castles and rain and other such Scottish stuff, which has, ironically, kept me from updating the Scotland blog, which I do at least once a day while I’m in the States. Weird. Anyway, lots […]

By: Ian Rose | 1 Comment
Inverness Caley Thistle, after a promising eighth-place finish last season, has started the 2007-08 campaign in turmoil, with three straight losses to Rangers, Motherwell and St. Mirren. But that slow start is nothing compared to today’s news. At noon British time, the SPL will be holding a news conference to announce that Caley […]

Not a great one to be in the home stands for, but nonetheless, a great trip to a great stadium. I’m sure JT will be on later with a Celtic update on the match, but I thought I’d give the Aberdeen perspective. Dons started well, owning the pitch for about the first 20 […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
Falkirk went to Ibrox looking for vindication after what they felt was a harsh 4-1 loss to Celtic. What they got was something else entirely. Rangers saw their day start off very well when Daniel Cousin, in his first start for the side, scored his third competitive goal for Rangers after only 90 […]
Category: Scottish Premier LeagueThe Under-21 Rule … good or bad for Scotland?
By: Ian Rose | 2 Comments
It’s always impressive to see a youngster make a senior squad. When an 18-year-old or even younger walks out onto the pitch for the first time, it’s a real achievement. He’s beaten older, more experienced players to the relatively few playing positions. But in the SPL, there’s a rule that makes it […]
Category: Scottish Premier LeaguePars give away a lead, finish 1-1 at home
By: Ian Rose | No Comments
Dunfermline had it. They had it in their hands. For most of their UEFA Cup match tonight against Swedish side Hacken, they were the better team, which in itself confuses me. Pars are one of those frustrating teams that plays just terribly in their league, but in a cup tie, they are […]
