buster.

I think the timing has more to do with the two charges brought against Rangers by the SFA.

But that mediocrity seldom comes from Scotland. To break into that market as a selling club in a meaningful way we have to start performing at a European level that goes beyond August.

Maybe forign aid donars are looking for something aswell.

Like most folk, DJ is bright enough within what could be called his own comfort zone but take him outwith that and he'll struggle. Big difference between most folk and DJ is with the latter, we are talking about public conversations in the media.

He has his radio style and I doubt it'll change so I reckon a brief is as far as you'll get with DJ. Even as a player he wasn't willing to change his ways and his career was relatively short because of that. As an aside, I remember watching a video of what IIRC was Jock Wallace's first home game in charge (v Dundee Utd.) of his second spell and I was surprised to see DJ in a Dundee Utd shirt. I never knew he had a very short loan spell up there. I looked up his stats and he hardly kicked a relative ball after he left Ibrox in 83.

I think last weeks words from Dave King would suggest the club have decided on a counter-offensive. I'd doubt that would happen unless there was sufficient material to get a hold of.

I think DJ is brighter than many give him credit for. He's sharp on the pun delivery and if the show was purely a football programme he'd be well within a comfort zone but we all know that football is at best 50% of it these days. Regards the political, I don't think he's that interested or can be bothered trying to get to grips with it. To be fair, to become an authoritive voice on all the politics that might up would extremely difficult/next to impossible but as a representative of the club, he could get sent an e-mail prior to radio appearences with a brief.

Happy Birthday Ian Take a day off media duties and go let your hair down

Our money won't go far dealing with EPL clubs and players.

How can Benzema be offside if the ball comes from what was effectively a pass from the goalkeeper ? He was never getting near to the through ball and that was always the keepers ball.

Waddell has become the MSM outlet for what is going around Celtic cyberspace.

I thought the Durrant pass into space forAlexei Mikhailichenko to run onto and cross for the McSwegan goal againt Marseille was world class in itself but was followed by two more sublime touches before it hit the back of the net. Allied to the claims that emerged, the Hately sending off against Bruges raises a question we'll never know the answer to. If you look at it, there is an elbow and they happen in aerial challenges but it was the subsequent uncalled for push that got him sent off and that wasn't necessary.

Thought the pitch was in danger of getting waterlogged with the amount of tears that were being shed. I think Real Madrid were always relatively comfortable, even in the early stages when Liverpool had most of the play and territory but weren't really creating much in the way of clear cut chances. Having watched Madrid a lot in Europe, you just knew they would gradually take control and their quality would come through. Similar happened in the Madrid v Juventus final a year or two back. The Salah injury really blunted the English side and along with the goalkeeping howlers put it on a plate and Madrid didn't really need to go up the gears. Gerrard arrives at Ibrox next week and I note that Zidane, a rookie manager is only the third ever manager to win 3 CL/EC.

Nae bother I think a few agents of goalkeepers will be giving Klop a call.

Spain continues to dominate La Liga sides have won 13 of the past 14 European trophies - Champions League, Europa League and Uefa Super Cup.

Ronaldo says he's not sure of his future at Madrid and he'll have to sort things out this week. Green and white flag that Ramos was holding is the flag of Andalucia (in case timbo is claiming another fan).

Ker-ching

Madrid win, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals 12/5

It's only a link. Over 90% of such won't get any further.

Would be nice if we could win our home matches and the polis forced their support to stay in their seats for half an hour after the FT whistle.

Doubt it, Fergie is behind the bar serving the pints.

That would certainly been faster than Mr.Collins

Another question about the pic could be what year was it taken ??? I'll say 1976

The number 34 used to be the bus you'd catch from Lothian Road (Edinburgh) to take you down to the dug racing at Powderhall. Powderhall has long since gone, as is the best part of James Collins career. --------------------- Edit...according to soccerway stats. / recent injuries Hamstring 11/03/18 12/05/18 Hamstring 21/03/18 30/04/18 Hamstring 01/03/18 09/03/18 Calf Muscle Strain 27/12/17 12/01/18 Ankle/Foot Injury 17/09/17 13/12/17 Knock 23/05/17 31/05/17 League minutes played (Max 38x90 = 3420) 12/13....... 2496 13/14.......1899 14/15.......1879 15/16.......1439 16/17.......1653 17/18.......1050

I'd say the money spent on the shirt ad. will at least have a return where 'traditionally', not all money sent to Africa does. I don't think you can realistically give aid to African countries and not expect some of it to be skimmed. It's probably more about damage limitation and a degree of asking about spending plans/writing them into contracts.
