Earlier this year, DaMarcus Beasley came to Rangers, and before injuring his leg, made quite an impact at Ibrox. Now, another SPL side in much a worse situation, has looked to America, but not to an American, for help. Englishman Andy Dorman is on his way from the MLS’ New England Revolution to […]

I went back and forth about this column this week, about whether it was appropriate to even report on the past week’s SPL action without focusing on Phil O’Donnell’s death. By picking an XI this week from the league’s matches, though, I wanted to acknowledge some of the great achievements that I and everyone […]

In the wake of the shocking death of Motherwell captain Phil O’Donnell, three SPL matches have been postponed. First, Motherwell’s next two fixtures have been temporarily dropped, including Wednesday’s match with Hibs and next Sunday’s home game with Celtic.

Here’s a photo, from Andy over at Scotzine.com, of one of the fan remembrances today for Phil O’Donnell. There will surely be more to come over the next few days and weeks.

It’s been a tragic year in football. Sevilla fans watched in horror as Antonio Puerta fell to the ground and died. Lazio supporter Gabriele Sandri was killed needlessly in Italy. Eight died in the stadium collapse in Brazil. And now, I’m sad to report that the year will end on a […]

I’m trying out a new column here at the Scotland Offside, picking a starting XI from the SPL’s matches each week. This week will only include the weekend, with the Boxing Day fixtures included in next week’s eleven. A few disclaimers first. This is based on what I considered to be the […]

I know this is supposed to be a blog about Scottish football in general, and I’d like to think that I don’t bias it too much toward my preferred side, but I just can’t help it today. Inverness Caley Thistle is officially THE in-form side in the league, after today’s 3-2 away win at […]

By: Ian Rose | 2 Comments
Only 24 hours after sounding so hopeful in opening Hibernian’s new training facility, John Collins has shocked everyone by announcing his resignation as Hibs manager. The former Hibs, Celtic, Fulham and Everton player was only in the job for 14 months, a time filled with problems but also with some very bright points. […]

Up to this point, there was some luck involved. With only one point from three matches, the result of a home draw against Locomotiv Moscow, Aberdeen were still in range of advancing in the UEFA Cup tonight by way of other results. Four points wouldn’t be enough to qualify in a lot of […]
