Juancornetto

If he could improve his finishing, he could be a fantastic option on the break but then I think about how teams (Celtic included) will set up against us and realise we won't get the chance very often. Another one to watch after a full pre-season and some game time last season.

Honestly can't remember being so excited at this time of year, it's heady stuff.

What kind of role do you see MOH having this coming season?

When you look at the options now available from midfield - forward, it's hard to see where he might fit. Could he be an expensive "super sub" providing running power in the last 20 mins of matches or could he be Kenny Miller's long term successor?

The morons who swallow/tweet/talk/blog about the likes of McGillivan and Brennan's drivel are a fringe group, within a fringe group in the same way that the ultra loyalists are within the Rangers support. The problem is that sometimes some of their garbage is presented in such a way as to suggest some credibility and Resolution 12 was one such example until of course the luminous collective wit of CQN (Brennan and Co) got their hands on it and embarrassed themselves to the Guardian, C4 and the vast majority of the Scottish "MSM".

Dead in the water now.

I've seen it claimed that Durrant was on quite a big wage for the job he was doing.

£450k plus bonuses seems to be the figure and when you look at the contracts AM and KM were on it doesn't look out of place. An almost Klondike like period at Rangers.

I'm just flabbergasted that he's only 19. He looks like a late thirties ex drug addict in that picture.

And whilst on the topic, Leeann Dempster found it more important to tweet about lesbianism than Rangers fans being attacked, and this was long after events were known.

Did she post any decent links?

I expect our lads to come flying out the blocks on Saturday, they've been enjoying their football all season and have been deprived of it for most of the last few weeks.

I've put £25 on Rangers winning 4-1 @ 28/1....

Good luck selling generic red, white and blue merchandise without club badges and crests Mike!

The Spanish FA have been issuing licences for European competition for years to their clubs who owe the Spanish Tax Service body almost €1bn between them. I can't say what proportion of that is considered "overdue payable" but I'd guesstimate it to be in the hundreds of millions.

Is this to be refreshments with 'Cup Final Wife Swapping' an option ?

Only if it's a permanent swap Buster

Myself and the wife will be going for a few drinks before heading over to Hampden if anyone fancies a mini meet up?

Saw this on Twitter and thought I'd put it here for posterity as and when Dundee Utd suffer the inevitable "insolvency event" that's coming...

His mum needs to stay off the heroin.

Maybe Deila will park the bus in order to try save his job?

I have a feeling that the dirty tricks campaigns of old will be resurrected in Ronny's hitherto powder puff team. Expect Scott Brown to be given licence to assault anything that moves and take a red card for it if need be. Griffiths is another who will attempt to rattle Danny Wilson and big Kiernan but I doubt they'll rise to it.

On a big pitch and with the majority of possession, they'll get frustrated very quickly.

Enjoyed Mark sneering at the Scottish football media. As ever very diplomatic but you can tell he doesn't think a great deal about their antics. Probably why he prefers to give time to the likes of Talksport and Sky.

I know that this hasn't gone down well with some hacks up here...expect them to try and drive a wedge between us and Warbs as we climb to the top.

All you need to ask is which one of the three companies running Celtic do you support? Which ones the club?

I've never came across one who can respond with anything but "aye but your club died". Checkmate.

RE injuries, same goes for that lot. If Leigh Griffiths picks up an injury, they are stuffed for a striker at all.

We've got options if Waghorn doesn't make it but I'd love to see him running at that back 4.

All you need to do is look at the teams when they cruised 2-0 winners last year. They've gone backwards at a rate of knots and we've basically got a new first team, a new playing philosophy and of course a Magic Hat.

No Van Dijk, no Denayer, no Matthews, no Guidetti and the "stars" still there like Johansen are shadows of the players they were last year.

That Rangers XI is enough to give you the heebie jeebies!

That club tie is too tight I fear.

:fish:

Actually maybe not. The final part of the sentence wouldn't make sense with "ignore"

Glad it's not just me. I get the message of the statement but it reads a bit like a post on a forum.

"Instead, Follow With Pride and deny those who cannot accept reality, or legal judgment, to examine their own mind sets."

Is it just me or does that part not make any sense? How can you deny someone to examine their own mind set?

Spare a thought for the hundreds of sevco moon howlers out there deprived of their Rangers fix from the BBC also.

After initially dismissing the idea as nonsense, I've come round to it for several reasons:

* Having the facility to play and host U20 games, summer tournaments and various other development games has got to be a good thing.

* It raises the profile of the club at youth and development level and enhances our chances of landing young players

* Having the youth and development squads in their own area, gives the senior squad the run of the rest of the facility. (excluding gym, medical rooms etc)
