Hopefully there will be no European hangover for Celtic as they try and get revenge on the only domestic side who have stopped then from winning so far this season.

Nope none and we went with two up front.
We should have won far more comfortably today. 7 shots on target out of 26 is a terrible statistic. Well done to East Kilbride as well on 27 successive wins and to Ajax for sending over some TV staff as well as champagne and beer. |

I mentioned this the other week but watching this Sevco game on the now, Sky clearly muting fans again. Ross County won a corner a minute ago and all the Sevco fans applauded the block that led to the corner but you could barely hear it.
Whats the point of them doing this in Scottish games on Sky? they dont do it to the EPL. |

Good away point for Sevco, managed to hold on and a step closer to their goal of 55 this season.
Brutal from them though, Miller, Halliday, Foderingham, Kiernan, Hill, Wallace, Windarse, O'Halloran, McKay, Garner, Waghorn constantly tripping over their own first touches. Will need better players if they hope to finish top 6. Lost count the amount of times Halliday had the ball in space in midfield and passed the ball directly to a Ross County player, better get his eyes checked. |

Another 2 points dropped by The Rangers in Dingwall.
Breidheid must be starting to get worried. They've won under half their games in the league and are averaging only 1.33 goals a game which is the 6th best in the league. The performances are as flat as a pancake and if they don't improve he'll be scone soon which will leave Breidy looking a bit of a doughnut. I see fans of The Rangers were singing through the minutes silence today. Tut tut. |

If they consider themselves the real Rangers and not a tribute act then you wonder why he's still in a job. Their last 30 matches in all competitions they have won 14, drawn 9 and lost 7. I doubt any manager of the real Rangers ever won less than half of 30 games and survived. |

A poor performance by Rangers and a poor result. Hey ho, stuff happens (polite version). Our realistic aim this season has to be second place and we're a point off that.

Hearts and Aberdeen have been poor as well I think, i'd have expected them both to have 5-7 points more than they do. The rangers have got lucky there or else they'd be quite a bit behind them.

The Green Brigade are saying the food drive on Saturday filled 20 transit vans and has, so far, raised just under £9k.
Absolutely superb. |

Aberdeen's consistency will have a large bearing on what position you finish in this season.

Joey Barton has been off sick with stress and hasn't trained since last week.
Must be very stressful sitting in the house for 2 months collecting £20,000 per week then being asked to train for your £20,000 per week. Can't blame him. |

Wonder if there will be a NDA in the settlement? We said he wouldn't cut it up here and it would all end in tears, they said he'd be the best midfielder in Scotland. We were right again, just as we were about Whyte, Green and, so far, King. You wonder when they'll actually listen to use? |

If you are being bullied and harassed in the workplace after airing your opinions and have suffered an ongoing suspension and been fined wages I can imagine it would be quite stressful.

We were right again, just as we were about Whyte, Green and, so far, King. You wonder when they'll actually listen to use? Signing players like Senderos, Hill, Barton, Kranjcar along with players from Accrington Stanley their scouting needs revamped too. Any team looking to improve and bring players in to sell on wouldn't be building a Duds Army of pensioners, they're only doing that as they must have shocking scouting and have panic buyed as they're clueless. Their board need replacing too, this is the guys who caved and awarded Warburton with an extension and wage increase for winning the 2nd tier of Scottish football with the most expensive side to ever kick a ball in it and only win it by 10 points or something, Hearts won it the previous year with about 10 games to go. Also new contracts and wage increases to Wallace, Tavernier, Waghorn and other numpties since found out in the top tier. Badly run and a laughing stock from top to bottom. |

On a more serious note, Celtic should step in and invite Joey Barton to the upcoming Celtic V Barcelona game, maybe coming to see his boyhood heroes playing in the Big Cup will relieve a bit of the stress he's under. Could even let him get his photo taken with the Celtic captain and the SPL trophy and European Cup.
Be a nice wee day out for him. |

Should be the end for Strachan now.
Hopefully also the last we see of Darren Fletcher and a few others. Maybe time for Ryan Fraser, Stuart Armstrong etc to get a chance. |

Gotta admit that I thought we played above expectations - the result obviously greatly flattered a very, very average England team who simply had more quality in the final third.
For England to go in at the break leading was verging on taking the mickey ... we were the better team and had a clear game plan but we shit in the nest 5 or 6 times in front of goal. Onwards and upwards and I certianly wouldn't be knocking Strachan on tonight's showing - the other 2 games maybe, but not tonight. |

I always felt campaign would be over after this, we need to gut the squad for the rest of the meaningless qualifiers but we won't . |

To me, the obvious question is whether another manager could get more out of the players we have available. Other countries who don't have a ton of great players have done quite well, such as NI, ROI, Iceland.
