Rangers have been linked with re-signing former forward Kyle Lafferty. The Northern Ireland international impressed in his debut season at Hearts last term and showed that he can still handle the rigours of the Scottish Premiership. According to media reports Hearts have thrown out a bid of around £200k from The Gers but it’s believed […]

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. His appointment doesn’t have me jumping up and down with excitement nor does it have me down in the dumps with disappointment. I […]

The Heart of Midlothian board decided to act before the start of the Scottish Premie rship campaign and have sacked head coach Ian Cathro. Cathro’s arrival at Tynecastle was equally heralded as it was criticised back in early December 2016. The young coach hadn’t managed a senior side before. I applauded the appointment, I think […]

I think it’s fair to say that Kyle Lafferty is a pretty enigmatic figure. The forward can look a world beater for Northern Ireland and then seem very ordinary at a side like Norwich City. In the last three years Kyle has only scored seven club goals, in the same time frame he’s actually scored […]

May the 19th 2012 is a day that will live with Heart of Midlothian fans for the rest of their lives. It was the day that they watched their side tear Edinburgh rivals Hibs apart at Hampden to secure the Jambos their eighth Scottish Cup triumph. Obviously the other team in Edinburgh will also never […]

It seems that Hearts decision to hire Ian Cathro as their new head coach has been a pretty divisive issue for Scottish football. On one hand you have people telling you that Cathro is a coaching prodigy that will be one of the country’s best given time. Then on the other-hand you have others telling […]

It’s quite ridiculous that a certain group of so-called Heart Of Midlothian fans would waste their own time, money and effort by protesting against the management of Robbie Neilson at the club. Today at Tynecastle a plane flew over head with a message that read ‘No Style No Bottle Neilson Out!’. The whole episode was very […]

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 […]

Do you remember when Rangers went into liquidation and were sent down to the bottom tier of Scottish football? Well do you also remember the buzzword for that summer? That was SPORTING INTEGRITY. The clubs stood together as one and insisted that Rangers start a fresh in the old Third Division as the rest of […]

Last week Ronny Deila suggested that Celtic were taking an interest in Hearts captain Danny Wilson. Since then Danny Wilson had a bit of an off day against Rangers at Ibrox on Easter Sunday. That performance had Celtic fans worried and Hearts fans convinced that his sale could be easily managed. I think it’s extremely […]
