in the warmup

We should have a sweepstake for which minute he gets injured

We'll miss him badly.

Anyone who can, should do the Vatican tour.

That stunned silence when Clement reaffirmed that we haven't been underdogs even against Celtic speaks volumes to the rest of Scotlands view (wistfully) of us. It's almost fucking funny.

I am happy, was hoping for a draw against Benfica to ensure another enjoyable trip to Lisbon. My advice to those intending to travel is thus : 1. Leave the Fado to Spiersy and Ewan Murray. How many over wrought songs about lonely seagulls can one person endure? 2. Find a restaurant offering wooden boards of Serrano and ewes' milk cheese, delicious particularly when accompanied with a bottle of Douro. 3. Make the effort of a morning to attend my favourite bakery, 'Manteigaria' - on Rua do Loreto. Excellent coffee and the best pasteis de nata(custard tarts).

Main news is that Todd Cantwell is out for a few weeks but Roofe is in the squad for tomorrow.

I don't think there was anyone we could have got that wouldn't look difficult. It's just that some are more difficult than others.

I'm glad we stayed away from the Italian teams, who look good, and Qarabag, as a long trip there could impact us domestically. I'm also glad we stayed away from Prague and the potential problems that could arise there. We've got a good record against Portuguese teams so it's a reasonable draw.

Would be great to go all the way again in the EL but it’s Liverpool’s to lose unfortunately

Certainly one of the more difficult draws we could have got for our seeded position, but we got two very entertaining draws with them in the groups a couple of years back so not impossible. I'm hoping to get a day trip to this one, but of more importance is Hearts on Saturday and Killie on Wednesday.

Keep it tight in Lisbon, go for it at Ibrox! We've a decent record vs Portuguese sides. Lets go!

Arsenals probably a better bet for the lad than here, look at King and Lowry. They boy that went to Villa (Rory Wilson?) seems to be doing well down there.

3 losses in 8 games i think. which is truly awful in Scotland in fairness.

I was a bit concerned at the time when he played on after he got that injury

A couple who could rattle them in

@ChelseaBoy has been looking into the old folks’ cage. We’re not parochial. Here’s a Chelsea stalwart, Roy Bentley captain of the 54/55 champions. Hasn’t been adequately replaced imho.

KLAXON KLAXON Hear this! Hear this! It is Friday night and I am viewing BBC Scotland's satellite channel's live coverage of the Championship match between Partick Thistle and Dunfermline Athletic. Half time is 1-1 and the trio of Jonathon Sutherland, James McFdden and, Leeanne Crichton spend ten minutes discussing first half events. There are another five minutes before the second period begins and the Shetland pony announces an interview of Jack Butland by Tom English. We know BBC Scotland's Chief Sports Writer has been banned from both Sellik Park and Lennoxtown since the close season by Peter because he penned the truth about Brenda's departure to Leicester City. Initially, Peter banned BBC Scotland in it's entirety but relented after demanding both the corporation and Tom English apologise. The Gang Hut offered full throated consummation because ah mean, 'faithful through and through'. However Tom has refused and remains on the naughty step. Tom's five minute chat with Butland is nothing spectacular but reveals the English keeper is not remotely interested in returning down south any time soon. Significantly, the interview was conducted at Auchenhowie. PQ have NOT flagged up this interview on their website or on any of their numerous TV and radio news shows. It has been sneaked in at half time during a Friday evening Championship live coverage. The Gang Hut will be raging, BBC Scotland's Chief Sports Writer providing a service to license fee paying Rangers supporters! Steven Gerrard was Rangers manager for three and a half years and the national broadcaster does not possess a single second of interview pertaining to that time. Has Tom gone rogue?

Here’s Jimmy sticking one in the net against Dundee United

Jimmy Brown Kilmarnock saving from Scott in the 1960 league cup final

Yes the wife and myself did it about ten years ago

With the league title in clear sight again, I no longer have much interest in the Europa League this season. Good if we go through but we've more important fish to fry.

A wonderful player,the Preston plumber

Its always the same old teams we play. Booooring.

George Peebles (?) about to receive the clap of doom.

Harold Davis a proper ranger

and billy gilmour for chelsea.

Hopefully we will give him a good sendoff, picking the ball out of the net numerous times 🤣

It is so disappointing when this happens.

Some of the diving and play-acting in football is truly embarrassing. I get sometimes you have to go over to get the foul but some of it is unbelievable.

Don't flinch. Big Phil's got this.

That’s the easy bit. The hard part is coming now.
