wee toon red

I thought so too. He had one or two dodgy passes when he first came on but when he settled into the game he looked very solild and played a couple of great balls over the top towards the end of the first half. More to come from him I'm sure when he gets a run of games.

Even if that stat was in any way important, we've still got a home game against the Huns to go.

For the latest Scotland squad: Charlie Adam (Blackpool) Barry Bannan (Aston Villa) Phil Bardsley (Sunderland) Cameron Bell (Kilmarnock) Christophe Berra (Wolves) Scott Brown (Celtic) Gary Caldwell (Wigan Athletic) Kris Commons (Celtic) Graham Dorrans (West Bromwich Albion) Darren Fletcher (Manchester United) Craig Gordon (Sunderland) Grant Hanley (Blackburn Rovers) Alan Hutton (Tottenham Hotspur) Chris Maguire (Aberdeen) Lee McCulloch (Rangers) Allan McGregor (Rangers) Kenny Miller (Bursaspor) James Morrison (West Bromwich Albion) Steven Naismith (Rangers) Robert Snodgrass (Leeds United) Danny Wilson (Liverpool) Mark Wilson (Celtic) Well done son. Might not do our chances of keeping him in the summer any harm if he realises he can get into the international set up whilst playing for us. On the other hand, if he plays and does well it'll probably convince some Premiership clubs to go for him.

Evidently the Huns weren't happy with Celtic becoming the most despised team in the country and had to do something to get their place back. Either that or the old cunt Smith has decided that he's just going to go mental and cause total havoc in his last six months in charge.

According to Mad, Brown has said that he's hopeful of signing a defensive midfielder currently playing in England but with experience in Scotland. Gavin Rae is being suggested.

Bad news for me as Loch Lomond is only a couple of hours away from me and the Scottish Open was easily the closest world class sporting event. Still, if it helps get Tiger to play then I'm sure Barclays will get over the fact that I won't be there to watch. Not quite as disappointing as sitting in the clubhouse yesterday with a new record score for our winter league's two-ball better-ball competition, which last for a full 10 mins until the last game of the day came in a beat us with a better inward half

In/oot: Out Prematcher: Gowf Match: Radio Postmatcher: Staying in Prediction: Optimistic head on, 0-0

Me and three mates are in

What was the situation with McArdle then? Wasn't the Rochdale manager pissed off that we got him for nothing? Was it because he was 23 when he actually joined us rather than signing his pre-contract?

Give us the Pars for a wee bit of revenge - hopefully fate isn't listening and feeling tempted by that

Unfortunately not if he goes to England or abroad. We'll only get cash if he goes to another Scottish team.

He's just repeated that on STV's shite Friday night programme.

In/oot: Oot Prematch: Golf course Match: Radio Postmatch: Pub Prediction: 3-0 Dons

Let's face it, Scottish football is fucked either way. They can try changing formats all they want but nothing will stop the slide to oblivion that started as soon as money became the main motivation and no-one did anything to stop the Glasgow hoors taking the lion's share of it. The ideal scenario for me would be a reset button that would see all clubs going bankrupt and new teams being formed by supporters and run in a similar way to the German clubs. Kinda like FC Utd of Manchester but on a nationwide scale

First bets since August: Bolton, Man City, Spurs and Cardiff returned £170 for a tenner

He's a great guy! I'm £200 better off thanks to his efforts

Nice one lads. Let's hope it wasn't just new manager syndrome and we can keep it up on Wednesday. Especially as I'm going - my first game of the season

Ah, if that's the case then my apologies. BBC website has him listed.

And McNamee.

The Hat is dead, long live the Hat?

That boy Balotelli is a fruitcake. The more maniacs like him on the go the better

We aren't going to go down anyway so it's a moot point (fate well and truely tempted now).

Nail on head. That is a big reason why players like Folly and McArdle started off reasonable well but have descended to the same level of shatness as the rest of them.

Arsenal proving that pretty football is all well and good against the also-rans but you need a bit more about you against the better sides. Van der Sar didn't have a save to make all night.
