I think it’s fair to say that Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon hasn’t had the greatest of seasons so far this term. At times he seems to lack the required concentration levels needed in the biggest of games especially in European competition. Even though no one has conceded fewer in the Scottish Premiership, Gordon has still […]

As we approach the January transfer window, I thought I’d take a look back at the summer signings that have made a big impact in the Premier League, so far this season. Obviously fans will disagree with my some of my choices and moan that I’ve left out one of their stars but I’ve decided […]

In the end the Manchester derby delivered in drama and entertainment and it was Premier League leaders Manchester City who triumphed over their rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford. City dominated possession, as you’d expect, but got the win with two scruffy goals through mistakes in the United’s backline. They weren’t beautiful strikes but they all […]

People were laughing at Rangers when Aberdeen announced that Derek McInnes would be staying at Pittodrie. I personally don’t think going after a manager and not getting him is embarrassing.

With key midfielder Paul Pogba missing through suspension for this weekend’s up and coming Manchester derby, Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho will have to find a suitable replacement. It looks to be a toss up between Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera. Both central midfield stars have their plus points but I believe the big Belgian […]
