Scottish Fitba'

[KenL]

I don't believe you.

OK, I confess. I watched Celtic lose the UEFA Cup final in about 2003 with my Celtic supporting pal. I don't have much interest in footy beyond my team.
Only have Sky Golf, watch Rangers on Rangers TV or sometimes go to the pub to watch Rangers. No interest in watching champions league or English football.
Golf is my thing really.

Ever watch Scotland?

Ever watch Scotland?

Used to be a regular at Hampden, so yes.
Still watch their games when I can.
Why do you ask?

Least surprising news of the day goes to Jack Ross being sacked by Dundee United. a goal difference of -22 after just 7 games...

What happened there, cracking first leg in Europe, then they’ve crumbled ever since.

A shame for him. Managers never given any patience (or backing?) at some clubs.

Sometimes its just evident that some things just don't work and the earlier you react, the more time there is to remediate.

23 of those goals have been conceded in just the last 4 games. Ross clearly wasn't the man to lift the players following that Alkmaar game and they followed that up with 4-2 and 3-0 losses to Hearts and St Mirren respectively before that 9-0 on Sunday. And that 9-0 could have been a lot, lot worse.

In any normal job measures would be taken to help you improve, no?

Football can hardly be described as a normal job. One of the few jobs where you get sacked for poor performance (often quite publicly) and then walk in to another high profile job weeks later...

Football managers are often employed for their expertise (or purported expertise) who at the club is in a position to coach the coach in the strategic aspects of the game? Would they then not just manage, no?

Dunfermline demonstrated what board intransigence can lead to with the Peter Grant saga.

Hearts game was 4-1 not 4-2, golf difference of 1 for 23 against in last four games - I photographed Celtic's win on Sunday - they were sensationally good at times - United were awful after they conceded the second.

Celtic are too good for them, I fear the worst

Game's already done but it's only 1 game, still a very long season ahead.

Looking forward to Tuesday night as I have a ticket for the visit of Real Madrid, not expecting a similar half-time scoreline in Celtic's favour...??

 

[KenL]

Thankfully I'm not watching!
Celtic will be untouchable this season. Ange needs a bigger challenge. ?

Don't give up just yet, Morelos still to come on from the bench...

and get sent off. ?

We'll know soon enough, he's about to come on.

 

[KenL]

A very easy win for Celtic it seems.
Rangers had 55% possession but obviously no real firepower.
Sadly, it might well turn out a poor competition for the league this year.

Is the £40,000,000 striker still on their books

Ps Well done Ayr United.
