Reports suggest former Rangers player Alexei Mikhailichenko has signed up for the Ukrainian Territorial Defence Army. Best of luck to him - he certainly gave us some good memories.

I really want to win the Scottish Cup. Give the likes of Aribo and Kamara a rest but pick a decent side, go for the win and stick that plonker McGhee back in his cage.

It looked it. Was a thing of beauty!

Tav played a crossfield pass to Sakala (I think) near the end of the match - it looked incredible from where I was (GF1). I'll need to look out for highlights to get a better view of it.

How far have we come in four years!? From losing to some team we've never heard of to stuffing Dortmund, Red Star Belgrade et al. I need to pinch myself.

I voted for Balogun. I love his aggression/enthusiasm and the third goal could be crucial.

Most SPL teams don't go toe to toe with us. In Europe, we're fighting another scrapper. In Scotland, we're fighting a bloke curled up into a ball most weeks. I'm more confident about Belgrade than Dundee, which feels odd.

Just back from the match. Loved tonight. Loved it. WATP.

Crvena Zvezda are known for playing fairly defensive, counter-attacking football in Europe recently. I'm not expecting a high scoring affair. I'd be starting Lundstram and Jack.

Aye but the club won't be punished if TBB gets belted out in a domestic match. It will if it gets sung tonight.

FARE will be in attendance this evening. I'm sure most know my stance on songs but it's important all Bears are made aware the usual FTP TBB stuff is off-limits at non-domestic games. Don't give them an excuse to close a stand or the stadium for future matches because we'll want to be there and the money is important to the club. I'm sure they'll be observing the Crvena Zvezda supporters just as much as us, given their ultra-nationalistic tendencies.

I rarely watch press conferences but whenever I do, I immediately remember why I rarely watch them.

I doubt our board have enough time to address every lie a Celtc fan tells about us. We should pull out of the friendly though.

🚨.👇 I give up (no idea how to post a Tweet). Some bloke called Jonny McFarlane says he has spoken to Rangers, who said it's nonsense that Celtc are being paid more than us for the Oz derby.

I can't decide if I'm looking forward to this one or dreading it. Probably a bit of both. They're quite a stuffy side, who don't concede many goals and tend to play on the break - three things which don't really suit us. But we've beaten better European sides in the past few years. I'd take any kind of victory tomorrow night. Mon The Rangers! 🇬🇧

Kamara's success seems to depend on who else is in midfield.

The Scotsman getting their info from a yahoo nobody, I see. Modern journalism to a tee. "But sports website The Roar has suggested there is an imbalance in payments and Celtic will receive $11m for taking Ange Postecoglou back to his homeland – with Rangers commanding less than half of that fee."

Several players do the spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch routine, on entering the field of play, so they aren't strangers to superstition.

English's comment regarding that Nonce FC Tweet was spot on. It actually looked like the Dafabet was photoshopped onto the picture. I think we all know why PQ CSC have taken a new approach here though.

Liverpool fans just booed the Internazionale team* for not taking the knee, at Anfield. We have surely reached peak platitude. *including Denzel Dumfries

Recruitment for the past couple of years hasn't been good enough. I was recently advised that seven of the starting eleven in Dortmund started the match away at Ufa. You always want to bring in two or three first team starters each Summer.

Good general advice regarding Twitter.

The indecisions are the worst (sticking with McGregor and not substituting players who are clearly out of gas).

Souttar was injured when we played at the Piggery and usually plays in front of an on-form Craig Gordon. I think some folk are fantasising a wee bit if they think he would've solved our defensive issues (I'm not denying he might've made a difference). It'd be interesting to know the specifics of what went on with the Ramsey loan deal.

Castore have released another shirt (it's blue) for the Legends match. They don't half keep churning out new items.
