When discussing Rangers, Hibernian boss Alan Stubbs stated earlier this month: “It’s very easy when you’ve got money to spend to bring in much better players than what was there at the start.” Gers manager Mark Warburton responded by telling the Hibees coach to ‘concentrate’ on his own club and not worry about Rangers. The […]

As the transfer window fast approaches deadline day, Manchester United still need to find another forward to enhance their squad. But with little time to deal with, the chances of United securing a transfer involving one of their long-time established targets seem to have diminished. I really cannot see PSG or Bayern Munich sanctioning sales involving […]

It seems like nothing can go wrong for Manchester City at the moment. Although I am sure they’d have preferred an easier group in the Champions League! After four fixtures, the Citizens are the only English Premier League side who have a 100% win record. Today they beat Watford 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. At the […]

It’s not easy being the manager of Celtic, especially when you need to face the media after a premature Champions League exit. But I cannot help but feel the less that Ronny Deila says about the Malmo defeat the better for the Norwegian boss. So far we’ve heard that his Celtic team were ‘scared’, that […]

I had no doubts that Wayne Rooney would get back on the goalscoring trail for Manchester United. The forward is still only twenty-nine years old, so he’s definitely not over the hill. So seeing the English striker firing in a hattrick against Club Brugge and helping his side through to the group stages of the […]

Sometimes we reach a tipping point during a transfer saga and it then seems inevitable that the deal will go ahead. Whether Everton like it or not, I think we’ve reached that stage in the long running John Stones to Chelsea story. The player himself seems set on moving to the Barclays Premier League champions, with […]

A Champions League tie is won or lost over 120 minutes, it shouldn’t depend on a refereeing decision. Celtic lost out to Swedish champions Malmo FF, a result which again saw Ronny Deila and his men fall at the final hurdle and not reach the lucrative group stages of the Champions League. To be honest […]

You could have forgiven a few Arsenal fans who might have thought that Jose Mourinho had cursed goalkeeper Petr Cech, after Chelsea sold him to Arsenal for £10m this summer. The international goalie’s Premier League debut for the Gunners couldn’t have gone much worse. He was probably at fault for both goals as West Ham […]

It’s not often that a full-back comes into a new club and makes the sort impact that James Tavernier has made at Rangers! The young Englishman has quite literally hit the ground running at Ibrox and at times has looked sensational and unplayable. His performances from the right-back spot have had Gers supporters on their […]

Tomorrow Gordon Strachan will name his latest Scotland squad that will face a tough Euro 2016 qualifying double header against Germany and Georgia. Celtic hitman Leigh Griffiths will be a cert to be named in that pool. But for me Strachan has to drop current favoured frontman Steven Fletcher and give in-form Griffiths the strikers […]
