Lowest crowd since 1902Scotland could play in front of their lowest home crowd since 1902 tonight. It is understood fewer than 6,000 tickets have been sold for the friendly with Canada at Easter Road. Scotland played before 5,284 when they faced Wales in March 1902. (The Scotsman)

It shows how the clowns at the SFA work - They arrange a nothing friendly. They move the game to Edinburgh. The manager tells the media he's fielding his reserve team.

And the game's on telly.

What a shower of zoomers.

You have to seriously question the point of this friendly. It's not about familiarisation of the players to roles as he's resting many of his first team. It's not about testing our players against tough opposition, clearly. And it's not about the revenue as this will certainly be a loss maker. I don't get it. I'm assuming GS had to have a rationale for a game such as this. I'd love to know what it was. It seems a complete waste of time. Instead, I'll be watching the development squad tonight. They've been really impressive over the campaign so far and I expect them to qualify tonight.

I imagine that the 'rationale' such that it is, has to do with an earner for the Leith midi-fhilth.

Decent side.

Decent side.

 

Which one?

So why does Wallace not get tested yet the Celtic players do?

fraser Aird has been running circles round him, I think he will be rested on Monday playing like this.

So Hibs punishment from the SFA/cabal for last seasons' cup final is to be awarded an international match!
