I remember talking about Scott Brown about twelve years ago and looking at his game. He was a midfielder who couldn’t really pass the ball, who couldn’t really run with the ball, wasn’t the master of a tackle nor was he going to score lots of goals. Now I think that review is somewhat over-exaggerated, […]

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard confirmed today that Scotland midfielder Ryan Jack will miss this summer’s Euros (Source Sky Sports).  That’s a tough pill for the Tartan Army to swallow as Jack has impressed in the midfield engine-room under Steve Clarke. We look to be at our most solid with Ryan patrolling in front of the […]

  The SFA have finally confirmed that they have a new national team boss. Alex McLeish has returned to the job and will be hoping to guide Scotland to Euro 2020 qualification.

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.

Forget all Pedro Caixinha’s spin about Aberdeen’s cycle coming to an end, the Dons are still Scotland’s second best team at the moment. Can Rangers overhaul the deficit and overtake the North East side? Yes quite possibly but it certainly won’t be easy. Aberdeen have had a very successful summer, in my opinion. Unlike Rangers […]

Celtic’s Ryan Christie didn’t moan about not getting more first team opportunities, nor did the attacking midfielder throw his toys out of the pram when Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers sent him up to Aberdeen for a loan spell. No the Scottish under-21 cap went to Pittodrie and tried to do his upmost in helping the Dons […]

The nominees are: Ronny Deila (Celtic), John Hughes (Inverness Caledonian Thistle), Derek McInnes (Aberdeen) and Robbie Neilson (Heart of Midlothian).  All have had fine seasons and for […]

  With few, if any, sides in a position to embark on an elaborate winter spending spree, success, or lack of it, in the Scottish Premiership should probably be judged on retention rather than acquisition. The January sales may appeal to many, with those south of the border seemingly unaffected by the global credit crunch. […]
