Scottish Fitba'

[Doon frae Troon]

Good away point for Scotland v Denmark in the World Cup Qualifier.
Seeing Hickey play so well was a massive bonus.
Strange starting 11 from Clarke but it worked very well.

Agreed, not the prettiest but will take it.

Belarus v Scotland. Absolute pish.

Don’t know why they have these games without any crowd. Why not let Scotland fans in?

Absolutely no atmosphere.

Decent enough result and performance. Gannon Doak (think he doesn't hyphenate it) looks like the sort of really skilful spark up front we’ve been yearning for for some years,

Decent striker still required.

Adams did his usual slog, got one and nearly a second. I like him. But as you say…still need ‘the one’.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Great result for Saints away to Raith and as for the happenings at Ibrox…

…well…Hearts top result but as far as the home team…well…

Surely that’s the end for Martin?

Before 6pm? Can't be much later than that.

Whilst I think it's mental to sack a manager this early I can't see Russell Martin surviving the week. Hibs up next week and that's not an easy game.
I also think the way things are at Celtic this should have been a great chance for Rangers to get the upper hand.

There are penalties and there are penalties…and these might be the rules…but c’mon - today’s in the SPL was embarrassing in its stupidity and unfairness. But there you go.

It was, as a minimum, definitely harsh.
I wish it would be more a.deliberate hand ball... Or hands are blatantly outstretched... The guy had no chance.

It was harsh, but the guy’s hands were well away from his body and stopped a ball which was heading in the direction of the goals. Totally accidental, but the correct decision given the current rules.

On a wider note, thought we were a bit more positive compared to recent weeks, looking to go forward rather than playing square passes ad infinitum. Tounekti looks like a really good signing, unlike Balikwisha who has looked awful in both his starts.

Apparently Martin took the squad cold water swimming in Loch Lomond today.

It’s not clear whether this was supposed to be punishment or motivational.

I’m going to miss this guy when he goes.

It's staggering that by the time Rangers play next they could be bottom of the league.

There's always going down to the championship.
