Three Things To Look Out For This Weekend In Scottish Football

How will Kilmarnock cope without Coulibaly? Kilmarnock were well within their right to accept a £800,000 bid from Egyptian champions Al-Ahly, but with the club 3 points above the relegation play-off and 4 off the bottom, the long-term ramifications could be far more costly. The Ivorian striker had bagged 11 of 26 goals by Lee Clark's side …

Three Things From Scotland v Lithuania and Slovakia

Scotland’s World Cup qualifying tilt stumbled at the first real hurdle, then fell face first at the second. Here are three reasons why: Strachan has failed to accommodate players in form After the Denmark friendly in March Strachan said: “At this moment the way we play is suited for the group of players we have had in …

“Judge us in May.” Mark Warburton has pleaded for patience from the Rangers’ supporters since the first ball was kicked in anger this season. With a raft of new players signed and… Source: Old Firm Humiliation Sends Warburton Back To The Drawing Board

Cross To Bear With The Pros

"Somewhat of a luxury player...capable of anything but usually produces nothing. Doesn’t track back, can’t tackle, can’t head the ball, no pace…but is quite good at corners" As my bio suggests being able to cross a ball is something I take pride in.

The season ended with numerous managers adopting the approach to …

Moyes Must Twist Before The Cards He’s Been Dealt Leave Him Bust.

As he slumped in his chair on the flight home from Greece David Moyes would of been forgiven a rye smile. If he didn't laugh he must surely have been close to tears. Not in his gravest nightmares could his tenure in charge at the Premier League champions have started so horrendously. 6 defeats in …

The Wife’s Been Playing Away From Home But I Can’t Bring Myself To Leave.

If ever the relationship a football fan enjoys with their club could be described as a marriage then my relationship with Rangers offers the ideal analogy. I took my vows as a 5-year-old in the Broomloan Rear, infatuated by the skills of Laudrup and Gascoigne. In the beginning it looked like a marriage made in …

Premier League Race Wide Open For All The Wrong Reasons.

Fernando Torres' dramatic late goal this afternoon helped Chelsea grab hold of Arsenal's coattails in menacing fashion. Mourinho, or Pardew-lite as he may well now be known after his excitable leap into the home support post winner, looked every bit the 'Happy One'. The 'Happiest One' however with that late goal could well be David …
