Pitch inspection at 4 is what I read. Rangers Twitter literally just tweeted "Its Matchday"

I think the game will still be on. Reason being that UEFA have just announced a videoconference for member associations next Tuesday - so seems they aren't making a decision to suspend before tonight's game. And Sturgeon has suggested public crowds of more then 500 to be suspended.... as of Monday... I think the game will still be on.

Adrian proved the need to have at least two reliable keepers on the books.

Higher tempo in that training video than they show in a real game...

Cancel the Europa League and award the trophy to the team that has played most games in this season's competition - it's only fair......

The Celtic game has little relevance financially given that ST's have already been purchased, hospitality aside, though I suspect hospitality doesn't add that much revenue. Leverkusen game admittedly does. Cost me 75 quid for an adult and child ticket for tomorrow's game...

Not sure I would pay much credence to it - first couple of sentences in they credit the Sunday Post saying we got 2 million for him - we didn't get anything like that for him - we got a third of that.
-
Chelsea were desperate to sign him as he was coveted by every EPL team plus Barcelona and Bayern Munich - that is the reason that we got 600k, to ensure they got him..... so we might have been able to secure add-ons too.

He’s not Glaswegian, he’s from Ardrossan, he’s from Ayrshire.

He would have struggled to even have made the bench for us, that is how little we trust the youngsters. I watched the full game yesterday - the lad was oozing class, without doing anything overly exciting. Great first touch, composed, looks to play vertical forward passes, excellent decision-making. Started as the pivot and dictated play until Mount had to go off - they brought Reece James on who went pivot and Gilmour went and played the "10" and did so very well again. When players like Giroud, Azpilicueta, Alonso, Pedro are looking to give you the ball to dictate play you know you have a player on your hands. His MOTM was very worthy. 93% passing accuracy would sound good if you had 10 touches of the ball.... but Gilmour had more touches than any other player on the pitch, more touches in the opposition half too. Should be an absolute stick-on for Scotland in the qualifiers because there is no other Scottish midfielder as good as him, regardless of him being only 18.

This is great news for the club. One of the best in many a year. Elfideldo will have seen more of him than I but I have seen Leon off and on since he was about 8 when my own kid played against him just prior to him signing for the club (was previously at Barrhead BC). Very humble young man with great desire, great physique and has a very bright future in the game in my opinion. Kevin Thomson told me last year that Leon "has everything to make it to the top of the game". Had the pleasure to speak to him for a few minutes when he trained with Kevin in January along with my son. I also heard, from a very good source, that Man U said Leon was "the best of his age group in the whole of Europe". Here's hoping we see him continue to be involved around the senior team and, hopefully, make an appearance or two before the season is out. Signed till 2022

His initial tirade was at Goldson - but he didn't miss anyone. Should be captain

I’ve always found that rule a bit strange too. away goals is fine but when in ET they should no longer count double.

Channel 4 News: Child Abuse Scandal in Scottish Football
craig replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Absolutely - they go into full moonhowling mode when you make the very suggestion that they gained an unfair advantage ON the field of play due to the child abuse. Full denial that families would never have allowed their kids to play for CBC had they not covered up the abuses.... and a number of those CBC kids ended up at CFC..... They most definitely obtained unfair sporting advantage by covering it up. -
Channel 4 News: Child Abuse Scandal in Scottish Football
craig replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
That is a fairly hefty wedge. And they still have a CL wage structure. Might not be enough as Rangerrab says but even if it is, that is a significant financial blow to them. Just a shame we are handing them the league this season because, had we won the league, I suspect Dave King's "house of cards" statement may have come true, -
Channel 4 News: Child Abuse Scandal in Scottish Football

It is looking ever more likely that their punishment will hit their bank account pretty hard. Civil cases could cost them a fortune. And it will be interesting to see to what extent insurance will cover them, if at all. -

Celtic Boys Club manager 'stuffed banknotes in boy's mouth'
craig replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
How have UEFA gotten involved already in England, given Man City and Crewe have taken responsibility ? Answer... they haven’t Think you’re clutching at straws here. UEFA won’t do anything, it’s wishful thinking. They haven’t done a thing recently over multiple incidents of racial abuse... so what makes you think they will take action against historical child abuse in a footballing backwater that offers little to UEFA ?? -

Not one easy opponent in there.... other than Celtic. Not going to be easy - truth be told we’ve exceeded expectations. That said.... no team is going to have an easy time of us either. BRING IT ON LETS GO !!!! Were on our way.... were on our way.... to Gdansk, we’re on our way.... -

Either way you injected Aberdeen into the chat the way you often do. Your prerogative... but if the sheep are so inferior to us the way you suggest why is it you take plentiful opportunities to point out what their fans say about us or our oppsition ? Shows you visit their forums, again your prerogative, but I couldn’t tell you who our fiercest rivals play this weekend because I couldn’t care less... yet this vastly inferior club has you visiting their forums to see what they say about us or our opponents..... and we say Celtic fans are obsessed with Rangers :rolleyes: You had to travel through 16 pages of a thread to find someone making reference to non-game related chat.... sure, call out that post.... but that means of 150 posts yours is one of a handful that is completely unrelated to the actual match thread (if you suggest Aberdeen fans views of Braga are relevant to match thread we will absolutely need to agree to disagree)
