Supporters club from my home town Iron, small town so we all know each other. RIP Ryan. Hope the others with serious injuries get well soon as well. |

Celtic reportedly refused £30+ million for Demble and £5 million for Gordon during the window. Meanwhile Aberdeen was desperate to keep hold of Johnny Hayes and refused 3 bids from Cardiff the last one being £600k. You could buy the whole Aberdeen squad and pay there wages. IMHO the miss-management of Rangers and the team going bust has killed Scottish football and any chance of the old firm breaking away that could rescue it.
Since Rangers went bust Celtic tighten there belts got there house in order, they still manged to outspend the rest of Scottish football and although dropping a couple of trophies they won the league without breaking a sweat each season. With Rangers coming back to the SPL this season Celtic spent big (for the SPL) and have a squad that could be competitive at the top of the English Championship. If they moved south they would easy be top half of the EPL with the cash that would come with it, TV money increased sponsors money etc. Meanwhile the rest of the Scottish league will be playing for 2nd (in 2-3 seasons time playing for 3rd as Rangers get stronger).
Celtic and Rangers are just too big for Scottish football with every town/city in Scotland having more old firm fans than fans of there own teams even Edinburgh. The sooner there is a change and the old firm move to different pastures the sooner Scottish football can recover and turn interesting again.
Good news for Aberdeen though today as we got a year extension on Hayes contract so he wont be going for £300k during the summer.

the rangers will be busto again before they strengthen. As soon as they sack he bread man or when he decides to go they might strengthen a little.
I near pissed myself other night though, on the way home from the office I was listening to Clyde for the first time in about 4 years and big Derek was saying how Dave King has spent near £15 million on their stadium and training facility. I wonder who feed's the big man this nonsense?
You really would have thought the day of succulent lamb were gone.

Simply put Scotland needs the other clubs to step up. National Coefficients can't be kept up with only one club making it through qualifiers. Even back in the 2000's when Scotland were 10th, it meant we got an extra team into europe (+ Kilmarnock under the 'fair play' place iirc) - who diluted the coefficient, starting the slide again. Until someone else stops getting knocked out in qualifiers our coefficient is at the whim of Celtic's qualifying draw. |

Comedy Chaos night.
Rangers issue statement that they've accepted resignation of Warburton & Weir.
Warburton says he knows nothing about it, no resignation given.
Warburton talking to lawyers.
Statement removed & returned to Rangers site...

The most dysfunctional club in British football, they literally can't do anything right. Apparently Warbiola offered his resignation on Monday which wasn't accepted. The board then changed their mind tonight but didn't bother to tell him. They should go for Tommy Wright, he has the right profile. What a time to be alive  |
