what was the payment for?

GEEZ, why don't they just dump the football, and play LITIGATION instead!!!

Seems to be something very sinister going on, according to this report from the Record about a secret document drawn up by the SFA:

It keeps Ogilvie in his post, that's why they wouldn't want any info disclosed.

St Johnstone flew out to Turkey today, really think they've got a chance over 2 legs. So long as they keep it tight over there.

Anybody know if the 2nd leg will be broadcast in the UK? Can't find anything....

I think we need now more than ever other sides in Scotland to have a decent cup run in Europe similar to that of Aberdeen a few years ago. Dundee Utd or Hearts could do well.

1230 inspection at Tannadice Dundee United v Everton in danger

Postponed until tomorrow

I am the other way. I think they will get an absolute hiding unfortunately

In July

Weather is so depressing

Summer football was the answer....

36 year old nuno gomez signs for blackburn. Would imagine that is the door for goodwillie. Where next another championship team or possibly down to league one.

The ibrox escape route is not there anymore. Worrying to thnk that goodwillie and Miller will probably still start the wc games

What about Rhodes starting for Scotland or is it too early for him?

He's doing too well, we will ignore him for a while and persist with Miller that wee while longer...

Bit worrying Miller travelling back from Vancouver and still getting a game

Brechin v SevCo Scotland will now be a week on Sunday live on BBC Alba.

Obvious choice. New club, just into the third Division, away to a higher leagued club, wee bit more experience, potential big cup upset here, the romance of the cup and all that! Nice to see the wee teams get their moment. Have they got a playing license yet?

Celtic play Inter Milan in a friendly the day before

Assuming SevCo have got a name, a strip, 11 players, and an SFA license by then.

Rumours are the this is going to be the new away strip.

I shouldn't but ...

Sevco are unseeded in the League Cup first round draw tomorrow.

St Johnstone have no chance of getting through.

I fear for all the Scottish teams qualifying for the Europa League. I have doubts any will qualify for the group stages.

If we end up playing any more qualifying rounds we will have clubs playing in Euro qualifiers before they have actually qualified for the competition the previous season!!

Next season I think everyone is in from the second qualifying round as our plummet down the rankings continues

I can not see Scotlands coefficient UEFA ranking for champions league and Europa League purposes improving at any point in the near future.

Rangers and then The Rangers having a 3 year ban will let other clubs into Europe, but outside the Old Firm Scottish club in recent years in Europe have been really poor. Certainly for the last 5 years in which the rankings are worked out.

This season is the final season in which Scotland has 2 champions league places. Next seasons competition will only have the champions of this seasons league in the competition, i.e. the runner up will be in the UEFA Europa League.

This season Scotland also has 5 places, but from next season onwards it will only be 4. Further more the cup winners, will start a round earlier in the 3rd qualifying round, (rather than the playoff round) and the runners up and 3rd place will only start in the 2nd qualifying round.

In the champions league the champions of Scotland from next season onwards will start in the 2nd qualifying round, the same stage as the champions of Wales and Ireland.

Scotlands only hope is to hope that Celtic have a decent performance in qualifying for this years champions league and get to the group stage, as the bonus points for reaching just the group stage are high.

I can not see Motherwell doing anything in the champions league.

If NewClub get a licence to play in time that is.

If not will the team they draw get a bye?

Claudio Reyna's son has died of cancer, was only 13 as well.
