Never seen Alex McLeish look so sheepish when he admitted on camera that they needed EBTs to keep ahead of MONs Celtic side.

Over in Malta for the Scotland game, what a fantastic place. Locals are so friendly. Although tartan army invasion starts in next day or 2.

It's about time we qualified! Hoping for a solid 2-0 or 3-0
Have you headed over for a week if you are there so early?

Scotland need a decent start to the group.

I'll be watching the game with interest, what mood I'm in will depend on the earlier group game.

I haven't watched it yet but Alex McLeish admits on camera that Rangers operating EBTs gave them a sporting advantage?

"If we didn't pay the money on wages Celtic were paying we'd have been behind them"

Came after the clip of Arteta scoring the penalty which won the league by one goal in 02/03

Seems pretty clear that McLeish is admitting that using EBTs to afford players that they otherwise couldn't have afforded did give them a sporting advantage.

I'd be perfectly fine with a 1-0 win. We can't assume these games are easy any more. Enjoy the rest of the trip.

Doesn't sound to me like he is admitting anything of the sort - think you might need your selective hearing-aid turned to neutral fella ...

Well we could, we could be Celtic fans. Rangers are the same club then, same club now, same club tomorrow. Ask UEFA and the SFA and a million other organisations.

Whilst that is, of course, true should the final EBT scheme appeal find them guilty of using loans as wages to avoid paying the Treasury tax then they need to be stripped of all the trophies they 'won' whilst engaging in a huge scale financial doping scheme.

Yeah here Tuesday to Tuesday, got a tartan army boat trip tomorrow. Ted Christopher is playing. His gigs sold out.

Fans flying from all over UK and connecting through Europe because of the flight prices but all part of the fun.

I suppose a win is a win but you've got to beat Malta.

Had a nice journey through Birkirkara! Anything to annoy my Hearts pals 😂

There is a woman on my FB saying there are 7k Scotland going over for the game. I've no idea if that is correct but that's some sort of it is.

Birkirkara had to be done.

Has it finally dawned on him that his taking part in the orange order trip today.

I see the media are already trying to target Rodgers for his treatment of Gordon.

Nevermind the mistakes and errors. Just keep playing a flawed goalkeeper.

Poor Joseph had obviously forgotten about when he said he could retire and become a Catholic priest. Surprised the bigoted band wanted photos with someone who has openly supported the RA and said he hates the Queen.

The Joey Barton wind up is poor, nobody is biting. I see Livingston pumped the Celtic Colts 5-1, it was a waste of time including those teams.
