http://scotland.theoffside.com Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:14:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en In the past few days there have been rumours linking Neil Lennon to the job at Leicester. My answer to that is, please go!!! Celtic have some deep problems at the moment, and I don't think Neil Lennon has the managerial experience to know how to sort them out. Celtic ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/neil-lennon-to-leicester-yes-please.html Charlie Mulgrew, Celtic's left back, is one of those players who just doesn't get enough credit. When you look at his performances, he rarely puts a foot wrong (a part from bad back pass vs Kilmarnock) and he is a really exciting, attacking full back. I reckon that Charlie Mulgrew could ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/charlie-mulgrew-very-underrated.html Hibernian fans finally have something to cheer about. Their win against St. Mirren takes them further away from the bottom of the table and they can breathe a sigh of relief. After their dismal start to the season, Colin Calderwood must be happy that his team are finally progressing, even ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/hibernian-on-the-road-to-recovery.html So Bristol City have confirmed that former St. Johnstone boss Derek McInnes will be their new manager. This is a blow for St. Johnstone. He is arguably the main reason they got promoted back in 2007. St. Johnstone then established themselves in the SPL, again, largely thanks to McInnes. Whoever is ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/tough-times-for-st-johnstone.html From now on, you can expect at least one post every two days. I've been slacking on this blog and I do apologise, but this will stop now. Having got that out the way, I want to turn my attention to what was undoubtedly the game of the season so far. ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/celtic-vs-kilmarnock-what-a-game.html Football is a funny game. How things have changed, especially within a month, is quite striking. Rangers had an unimpressive start to the Premier League season, drawing their first game and not qualifying for the Champions League but now they top of the table and have just comfortably beaten Celtic ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/rangers-hot-celtic-not.html When the only way for one of the Old Firm teams to get into a European competition is to do so off the pitch, you know something is seriously badly wrong. Celtic won their appeal against Sion, who apparently fielded several ineligible players, and so take their place in the ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/the-spl-a-new-low.html Celtic's win today at Pittodrie sent them top of the table with 1 game in hand. Although it's possibly too early to tell, Celtic seem to have the upper hand over Rangers so far in this early season. Rangers drew their opening game to Hearts and have never really looked ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/celtic-hot-rangers-not.html It seems only days ago that the old season finished and yet this weekend a new season of SPL will start. Celtic have somewhat strengthened their squad already with the signing of Wanyama, the Kenyan midfielder and are looking at signing Stipe Pletikosa as their new goalkeeper. Rangers on the ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/a-new-season.html Even as a Celtic fan, I am truly impressed. David Weir is extending his contract for another year, by which time he will be playing aged 42. This is of course an incredible age to still be playing football at the highest level and it just shows that he really ... http://scotland.theoffside.com/scotland-premier/david-weir-how-long-can-he-play.html
