Mid priced or even bargain basement foreigners always look good in other foreign teams I've noticed. Maybe those teams have good scouts or something. It always seems Scottish clubs get f#cked over when buying foreign journeymen. We always end up with the most useless, brainless shower of pish. We've just ended up as a dumping ground for duds.

Not a fan on the loans system either in Scotland - clubs should be limited to SPFL based players, probably with one external player allowed.
Short term loans should also be allowed in between windows. |

Oduwa and Zelalem are the two best young prospects playing in Scotland for many a year and we are lucky to get to look at them for a bit before they move on. These skillful players don't exist in Scotland with that amount of talent at that age. They aren't there because some 6ft 2" wrecking ball probably crippled them at 15 with their manager congratulating them on getting stuck in or they aren't picked because Mr Hammer Thrower got the starting place.
Celtic are guilty of it as well. |

Can't have it both ways - although I've not seen either play, is it more important to develop your own players in lets face it a league worse than the Scottish Premiership or develop players from Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle etc... none of whom will make the grade at those clubs.
Celtic are guilty of it as well. Celtic have some exciting young Scottish players, in midfield especially. But if they are playing out of position or not playing at all at the expense of manager favourites then they'll never develop. Celtic are selling good players and replacing them with poorer players in key positions and they can't expect to challenge in Europe doing that. It's constant erosion that just grinds you down and lets Europe slip away. |

Still scratching my head at Dial-a-bus and his claim of how he was bringing balance to the team by replacing Kris Commons with Nadir Ciftci.
![]() If any of the attacking players deserved to be hooked it was Leigh Griffiths - he was absolutely dire from start to finish. Incidentally there is a cracking screengrab doing the rounds of Griffiths holding a "RESPECT - show racism the red card" poster during the build-up. Is it genuine or a photoshop jobbie?? Hard to tell due to the shape of his coupon.

When you have one striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation and you want to go 4-4-2, to keep the team balanced you would probably hook the central man in the 3 - hence why Commons was taken off.

Just watched the game from Thursday.
Absolutely shocking defending and Johansen needs to be rested to clear up his back injury as playing him injured isn't helping anyone. Will be interesting to see if Commons gets a game tomorrow |

So according to a red top Celtic are looking to start a franchise in America.
That is classic moonbeams right there. |

This is turning into absolutely disasterous season for United I really fear the worst now, can't believe how far they have fallen in just about a year.
McNamara was allowed to bring in some absolute dross which didn't help, not convinced pataleinen is the answer though |

Rangers have looked really poor ever since the St Johnstone game. Shame as the football before that match was sensational. Seem to have lost all confidence.
Dundee Utd are in a dire situation at the moment and I see no sign of it changing |

11 league games played, 11 won. We're doing not bad for a team that has supposedly "lost all confidence".

The Zombie Nation have fairly shut up since Thursday night.
No comments to make about the Celtic performance yesterday afternoon? You were very vocal on Thursday night. |

I've just checked the BBC Football site to see the score. A thumping win for the Dhims for sure, but what a poor United side. Judging by the stadium, it looks like the majority of the Sellik support didn't know they were playing either.....
