Important not to read anything into friendlies but I think we’ll win the league by at least 10 points.

Mrs7’s sister is going for her first ever visit to Ibrox. I apologise in advance on her behalf for any screaming, cursing and general unruly behaviour inappropriate to the Stadium. I hope the UBs won’t be running out with their hands over their ears.

Beale is gushing about Tillman in that video, quite right, Tillman has huge potential and I think he, and other young players, will flourish under Beale as he wants all players to express themselves. Beale will give all these young players belief in their own ability and will get the best out of them.

Stop bringing the mood down. We're gonna win the league!

I f*cking love Kamara. I said it. I feel no shame.

We have scored from a corner , I repeat we have scored from a corner , unbelievable

I’m sure you’re right, Bill. The genius, Southgate, will give his team a crash course in the language, probably at halftime tonight.

It’s better never to back down. I still haven’t given up on my Barrie McKay £10m valuation. He just needs more time.

Nobody was looking for a result, I personally seen a massive improvement in the way we played even if you didn't, we played very well today regardless of the result!.

Love watching Lowry play

Young Devine looks very good, even though he is a RB

No, I think we are past the used improperly stage. It's no secret that he picks and chooses who he shows up against. Getting stuck in, and positive effort should be uniform. Nothin worse than a guy who tries when HE wants to.

Can't get excited about this. It is the Hibs game I am looking forward to.

Thought this deserved a thread of it's own? if admin doesn't agree they can delete

That went well 😁

England and Penalties in the World Cup = Flight Home

110 million doesn’t get you far these days

Don't think much of their collective religious displays either.

That and the plo flags.

Goldson and Davies potentially available for Thursday

I forecast a Portugal win, so your chances of points are remote. Sorry about that

My correct score is ruined. Don't ruin my joker, Portugal!

It'll be interesting to see how the pair of them perform in the next few weeks.

Same with all players. I'd bin international footie tomorrow (he says whilst watching World Cup)..

Aye there are more than a few chancers in this squad tbh.

Look at the buildup for the penalty. Something we have not seen for a year. Quick tempo passing through the middle cut right through them.

He's been anonymous for months, in my opinion...

Definitely a difference from what we have been watching under Gio

First touch he should score with.

Leverkusen were 100% on the lash last night

Yes, no problem playing him against Hibs.

On his game, Alfie is unplayable. If he had not been injured last season, we may have won the EL. He is our all-time top scorer in Europe. However, he can implode, he can look disinterested and he can look unfit. I'm 50/50 on Alfie - if Beale and his team to get Alfie back fit (and interested) he's an asset and it will be difficult to replace him.

Considering we were showing none of these things recently, I should bloody well hope so.

So does Glenn. His selective effort shows that. Needs to move on.

Good to see Kamara playing again. I know he hasn’t been at his best but that probably had something to do with the manager.

F*ck sake! What was that from the Leverkusen player? A choke hold?

Well, the press is back.

LIVE on Youtube:

All our injured players are not due back until Jan/Feb, I think?.

Glen has returned...

Bagpipes are bad at the best of times but the only word I can describe that with is abomination.

Hehehe...

That's a good point regarding the managerial vacancy, but at least having a run-out would have helped fitness and match sharpness when we return.

Boyd is good for winding up yahoos but beyond that...not interested.

Possibly have messed up but if we had arranged some who would have taken the team,with Gio going and Beale taking over eventually?. Other than giving players a run-out would have served no purpose regards selection/tactics etc.

Always liked the French top. Their football team first impressed me at the '82 World Cup and like their Rugby back line at the time, were full of flair and well worth watching come those televised summer tournaments. England beat them in the First group stage but France went further and went out in that memorable 3-3 thriller of a semi-final with West Germany that Schumacher thought was a boxing bout and got away with it. Platini, Giresse, Tigana, Rocheteau (followed since our game with St.Etienne in the mid 70's), etc were some of the names. Then at 98 you had Zidane, Hendry, Djorkaeff, Desailly, Pires, etc winning the thing. It now lacks a Platini/Zidane like figure in the middle of the park. Griezsmann does a very decent job though and of course they have the human canonball on the left, Mbappe. They may miss Kante in the defensive midfield today and Benzema, for counter attacking at speed/precision.

They should have kept attacking at the beginning of extra time. Argentina were on the ropes and couldn't cope with ra big men up top. Some day of football and we have France v England tomorrow !! Tottie wee Croatia certainly have the minerals. Only been formed for five minutes and that is three WC semi-finals they have reached. The Argies and Croats will be buggered and should ask FIFA to make their semi a 15 minutes each way 5-a-side match. Borna may yet get a medal.

The Dutch are woeful. Possibly the most frustrating watch of the tournament. Hope to God they go out tonight, it’s like watching Gio’s Rangers.
