By: Ian Rose |
No Comments
Just a short note. Even though it will probably be a week or so until the announcement is made by the SFA, I would like to put Craig Levein’s name forward as the most deserving candidate for Manager of the Month for October. I have no idea why it takes the SFA so […]
Category: Scottish Premier LeagueLeague Cup quarters: Celtic out, Caley thrashed
By: Ian Rose | No Comments
Well, the Halloween night quarterfinals of the League Cup are over, and the final four are Rangers, Dundee United, Hearts and Aberdeen. That’s right. Hearts. The Jambos fans have had little to get excited about this season, but they managed to knock out Celtic, admittedly, from the competition the Bhoys cared the […]

There are eight teams left in the CIS (aka Scottish League) Cup, and tomorrow night, as the little kids play dress-up-and-beg-for-tooth-decay, they will be wittled down to four. There are some familiar sides (like the top three in the SPL: Celtic, Rangers and Dundee United), some overachieving mid-range teams (like Aberdeen, Inverness and Motherwell […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
We are 11 matches and one quarter of the way into the SPL campaign, and it turned out to be the perfect weekend, at least in terms of results, for a little team in Glasgow you might have heard of. Celtic not only took their match, 3-0, over Motherwell on a Scott McDonald hat […]

We’re one-quarter of the way through the 38-match SPL season, and we have some interesting matches this weekend. Here’s a preview of the action in Scotland.
Celtic v. Motherwell, Saturday 3pm
Celtic has lost two important matches in a row (the derby and at Benfica in the Champions League) and will be looking to take it […]
Category: Scottish Premier LeagueAberdeen gets spanked in Greece, 3-0
By: Ian Rose | 1 Comment
This match week in Europe has gone a bit less positively than the last for the three SPL sides left in continental play. Rangers took a point from Barcelona, but have been criticized for their “antifootball”, Celtic played equally defensive ball (but without earning the point), and now Aberdeen has lost their first match […]

By: Ian Rose | 2 Comments
Another nice milestone for the Scottish national team. One month after rising to #14 in the FIFA World Rankings, our highest-ever position, Scotland has risen one more position to #13 in the world. Of just as much interest to Scotland fans is the fact that while Scotland rose, England fell and now sits […]

I just thought I would pass this along, in case it didn’t make the media outside of Scotland. Apparently, during Setanta’s coverage of last weekend’s Old Firm derby, there was an advert on that has ruffled some feathers. During halftime, with a huge domestic audience tuning in, a particularly graphic trailer for the […]

By: Ian Rose | 7 Comments
Barcelona is one of those teams against which a draw is a pretty decent result, even at home. Rangers’ scoreless draw with Barca today brings both of them to 7 points in Champions League group E, with Lyon in third with 3 and Stuttgart looking lost at the bottom with nothing to show for […]
Category: Scottish Premier LeagueAnother big European week for SPL sides
By: Ian Rose | 2 Comments
This time of year, there’s not much time for a Scotland fan (or blogger) to breathe. One weekend, we’ve got Euro 2008, the next, an Old Firm derby, and now, a week full of European competition for three sides in the SPL. The fact that we even have three teams still alive at […]
