If there is anywhere in Europe that needs a winter break (Scandinavia aside), it’s Scotland. The rain/snow/sleet/etc in the winter, especially up north, is ferocious, and one needs only to look at the list of recent postponed matches to get an idea for how bad it has been:
Motherwell v. Celtic
Motherwell v. Caley Thistle
Hibernian v. […]

In the latest of my transfer posts doomed to be outdated in the two seconds it takes for WordPress to post it:
WHERE WILL BARRY ROBSON GO?
The Dundee United captain and 1-time Scotland midfielder is the biggest domestic fish in the transfer barrel this January, and offers from Burnley and Nottingham Forest have already been denied, […]

Happy Robbie Burns Day, everyone. Today, 249 years ago, legendary Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns was born. As is the tradition of my forefathers, I plan on celebrating his birth with a bit of haggis and a much larger bit of whisky. But first, here’s a look at the SPL action […]

There has been talk for a week or so that my beloved Inverness Caley Thistle was being approached by two new investors, one English and one Scottish, willing to put large amounts of money into the squad. This was exciting news to me. Now, a few more details. One of […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
I’d like to be writing that the 4th round of the Scottish Cup was in the bag, but it really isn’t. Between weather postponements and draws, the round is barely even underway. A total of eight matches had to be called for weather this weekend as a nasty patch of winter rain, sleet […]

For the first time in club history (admittedly, only four years in the top flight), Inverness Caley Thistle has won both the Manager and Player of the Month awards in the SPL.

The Independent has put out its list of the top twenty footballers in Britain outside of the Premier League. As much as I stand by earlier statements about all lists of top footballers being pretty much subjective rubbish, I can’t argue too much with this. I would add Aiden McGeady to the list, […]

Andy from Scotzine beat me to the punch in my own comments area, but Hibernian now have a manager, and its one that should at least start off popular with the support.
Mixu Paatelainen is a Hibs legend, having scored 39 goals for the Edinburgh side, including most notably a hat trick in a 6-2 rout […]

The title of this blog is as far as I’ll go into the coincidence of the two subjects’ names being two of my favorite cartoon characters of all time. But I had to mention it.
There are developments involving the two highest-profile job openings in Scottish football, the Scotland and Hibs manager positions. First, […]

This week’s eleven includes the three mid-week matches and five Saturday games. Celtic and Motherwell skipped all matches this week, so they will be left out. There were some great performances in the meantime, and here are my starting eleven for week 21 in the SPL.
