Glaswegians have many positive traits but sophistication definitely isn't one of them. Speaking of chips on shoulders, Glasgow voted Yes. I'll stick with my Reiver heritage and leave over-sensitivity about rival town barbs to you lot (you should hear what us Borderers call each other - and nobody bats an eyelid). As for Barisic, I'm sure his command of English is enough to understand "Clear it!" and "You're shite, pal!".

I'm frae the Borders. You city folk are all a bit queer, in my book.

It's the Fringe, William. All wines and liqueurs are de rigueur during the Fringe, dah-ling.

It is. It is often used in a derogatory manner though and Glaswegians are known for their sensitivity, so we have to use it sparingly and in a civilised fashion. Anyway, I'm off for a glass of Merlot, down at the Shore (Leith), with my pal Asquith.

That Kipre guy is away down South - did he not injure one of our players too? The list just gets longer...

That's a bit of a disappointment. We need strikers and they seemed good to at least consider (far better than Lafferty, in my opinion).

I think our players should just do a Willie Johnston stamp (as on John McMaster) far more often. We're getting sent off anyway, so may as well make it worthwhile. Make sure Scott Brown and Scott Allen are first up.

I don't require my political representatives to support Rangers or even like Rangers. I certainly don't want them to hate Rangers though. The SNP make it quite clear that, as Rangers is an institutional and sporting representation of Unionism (like it or not, that's how we are perceived), they do not like us. The evidence for that is readily available.

Hodzic looked good in the air on the YouTube compilation. Or was it Kolijic? It's the one at Dinamo Zagreb.

So we are repeatedly told by Bears who vote for incompetent, anti-Rangers buffoons in yellow rosettes. It must be nice feeling so ethically and morally superior to Unionist Bears. Meanwhile, our club is continually portrayed in a negative light. Good article.

We're all too busy loitering in sandcastle debris to get involved in hubris.

Give them a break, they do a sterling job up in Stonehaven, where units are deployed swiftly when a sandcastle is claimed to have been kicked over.

I take the gossip about a mysterious benefactor with an extremely large dose of salt.

I'm wondering that myself, Bill.

We're Europe's hottest club? I await more made up negative stories by the Scottish Mhedia pack. Sandcastles kicked, innocent Croations attacked, bottles flung into empty roads...whatever next!?

I watched a YouTube compilation and he looks good (although I know how unreliable these compilations can be).

Decent stats. If we get him, I'll be pretty chuffed at our transfer window. Still think we're lacking creativity though...

I see he's a forward who had a short spell at Liverpool (no first team starts). Makes sense.

We've went from building bridges to destroying (sand)castles. This is the type of diplomatic process we should have embarked upon on our return to the top flight.

Someone has been reading the Beano.

A Celtc fan gobbed at my son's pet ostrich in Gorgie, this Saturday coming. Who do I phone?

I've been saying for ages we should be looking at players from all over the former Yugoslavia. There are bargains to be had.

We had a rubbish season. That's about the size of it. Thankfully, Gerrard seems to be fixing a few of the problems.

I think that remains to be seen. Hopefully buster is correct.

Gerrard must be another victim of "group think". ?
