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

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?

Aye, it was almost as if that clownshoe Raman was surprised. He then asked him again to see if he could get a different answer

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

We are due to drop points in one of the next two games. These two are gonna be a tough little stretch. However, I believe these will be some of the last we drop this season.

Willie Rae, not the greatest footballer but ever ready.

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

That's an excellent line up but I'd probably bring Diomande inside and play Lawrence out wide left where he has considerable experience

Kenny will always supply a free shot to any Gersnet member.... My wife will be there tomorrow for a post-match drink but unfortunately I'll be stuck at home; if at the game at least.

Yes, I'll never forget 2008.

I like these draws: there is less pressure. Win and it's unbelievable; lose, meh, expected. I wanted Milan.

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

We can beat anyone

and billy gilmour for chelsea.

It's because we've moved on that we're able to speak freely about him again.

Beale will get another manager job. He’ll turn up in Oman or Malaysia or some such….. and quietly be forgotten about.
