Scottish football is back this weekend, well it’s been back for a few weeks but the league campaigns start this weekend. Anyway I thought I’d once again predict the final standings of the Scottish Premiership. This season I thought I’d go all the way and predict every senior league in Scotland as well as […]

The Heart of Midlothian board decided to act before the start of the Scottish Premie rship campaign and have sacked head coach Ian Cathro.

It’s hard to predict anything about Rangers at the moment. No one would’ve predicted that the Ibrox club would get knocked out of the Europa League by a part-time side from Luxembourg.

Unfortunately things don’t seem to have worked out for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere in recent years. He has failed to reach the potential his early career performances seemed to promise. As a teenager he broke into the Gunners team and he also managed to receive regular call-ups for the England senior side. Arsene Wenger […]
