It is a reasonable price but unless you bring a good crowd up it'll mean you'll make next to nothing out of the game unless you beat us and get through to the next round.

cant see us bringing more than 1500, if it had been a weekend game it wouldve been double that, though i guess we will have the choice of 40000 seats

Would have been a better draw if you drew us at Cappielow and the BBC decided to show it so you got tv money as well.

I don't think we'll open the top tier so that will keep costs down but I don't see there being a crowd of over 20k.

No wonder Jackie told Gunning to reject the offer, it wasn't like Gunning did this to VvD.

You know what I don't think I have been so positive after a 2-0 home defeat. I still see us moving forward and some time you just have to accept you are playing against a team who quite possibly will figure in the latter stages of the next 3 or 4 major global tournaments.

Belguim are outstanding and on current form a level above us - they are certainly better than the Dutch team who we played against in 2010 that of course went on to lose in the WC final.

Onwards and upwards ... if we can sort out a decent central defensive partnership I think we are a team that can certainly improve over the coming years.

Crazy ban - nothing was made out of the incident from either player and the referee watched it unfold straight in front of him ... if rules are going to be adhered to so strictly then Dick Van Dyke should have also faced the very same punishment in regard to that incident.

The board must have been aware of the possibility of this when we signed up for Celtic Park being used for the Commonwealth Games.

I'm sure sections of the Hibs and Hearts support would give us a warm welcome.
I would guess the residents of Murrayfield would not be overly thrilled. Interesting to see if the Edinburgh police will agree to it.

It's a great stadium for football, mind

If we finish bottom of the group as likely is that significant for euro 2016 seedlings.

I am guessing we will be fourth seeds but fifth a possibility

Strachan now up to a 66percent loss rate as manager

James Forrest, the most overrated player in Scotland? havent seen him have a good game in a Scotland shirt

Hutton and Whittaker were p*sh also.

Scott Brown and Charlie Mulgrew look like they could be a good central midfield pairing, probably our two best players last night.

That isn't what Stevie Frail says from being on the sideline when Hearts played there.

ANC's ground is out of bounds as it is being used for the rugby 7s.

That one isn't bad but he should have rapped it after the first Tandoori Tony video.

Thursday evening, Gordon Strachan: "it's gonna be a great weekend for scottish sports; Andy Murray, Ricky Burns and the football"

Sunday Morning: Andy Murray out, Ricky Burns managed a draw despite being dominated and a dislocated jaw, and Scotland beaten at home.

I won't be asking Gordon to pick my lottery numbers.

How the hell Burns mugged a draw out of that fight is beyond me. He has tremendous heart but hes been shown up in the last couple of fights.

Speaking of heart that Petrov game today was incredible. Decent standard too considering what these games are normally like. Football fans are amazing at times. The reception Stan got was fantastic, seems like such a genuine guy.

I had a bit of dust in my eye when we sang YNWA at the end of the game.

Hibs announce profit of £100k for last season - that was a team finishing in the bottom 6.

Their debt fell by almost £1m to £5.5m, Wages/Turnover ration is down to 49%

Armageddon is clearly working.

Jim Spence has reportedly applied for voluntary redundancy from the BBC after being hounded by Sevco fans, and failing to be supported by the corporation after comments about the death of Rangers.

Shocking if true - and serves to prove how scared the media are of upsetting anyone at Ibrox.

Its all out of spite - they protested when the BBC had the audacity to show who Whyte really was and they've been intent on revenge ever since.

They should focus on their EGM debacle.



Meanwhile Celtic have been fined €5,000 for the fireworks during the Cliftonville game.

Disgrace. I like Spency, says things how they are.
