Scottish Fitba'

[HomerJSimpson]

There should be no trapdoor in to the Europa League from the CL, said it for years. You qualify for a tournament and play that until you are eliminated, full stop.

Same with the qualifying rounds, if you aren't good enough then tough.

Totally agree especially as Athletico Madrid who beat us got in by finishing 3rd in their CL group.

Good result for the Rangers to top their Europa League group.

Coefficient-wise we could do with Celtic getting a win as well.... although I'm in two minds as I'm not sure I want them getting a confidence boost...

Fair play to Rangers, an excellent Europa League campaign. Hope they get a good draw and can make some progress in the knock out stages in the New Year. ??

Great stuff from RFC. My main wish is the the Scottish title this year. ?
Pretty sure Celtic will click again soon though.

What a free kick from James Tavernier today, absolutely world class, no keeper was saving that.

Top Scorer in the SPFL I believe.......nae bad for a full back.
Mind you with oor refs ony penalty taker for Rangers will score at least a dozen per season.

Cracking game last night well done St Mirren.
Rangers seemed to lose all of their confidence when The Buddies equalised the first goal.
Yet another Trophy win escapes the Gers.

 

[KenL]

Pretty happy for the Saints TBH.

 

[toyboy54]

Ouch!But going by commentary we didn't really seem up for the game whereas Saints obviously were.Good luck to them!

[toyboy54]

Seemingly St Mirren are now on par with St Andrew, St Patrick, St George and St David

 

[toyboy54]

Bill---WE havnae played them yet! Have we?So don't know what exactly is the correct form of abbreviated/familiaral naming procedure--if in fact there is one for each?
I mean would St.Paddys/St.Davys/St.Geo's/St.Andys(St.Elsewhere?)work ????or would this be improper use of shortened naming?

Record attendance for a SCF is 147,365 (Celtic v Aberdeen 1938)

Record attendance at Hampden is 149,415 (Scotland v England 1937)

There are at least half a dozen Scotland/England games with an attendance higher that 134,000.

Thanks . I was just about to correct that myself, I don't know where I got that 134,000 figure from.
As a young teenager I was at the old Hampden with a crowd of 40,000, It was an deserted echo chamber.
