Scottish Fitba'

You mentioned it must have been the cheaper option. The guy has a very modest Win % Ratio and was out of his depth when promoted with Southampton. Now goes into Rangers where there won't be a bedding in period as results are expected straight away

Did he get the required backing at Southampton to survive in the Premiership?

Does he have the financial backing to turn Rangers into a squad that can challenge Celtic?

As for was he backed. Looking at the transfers he conducted I would say yes he was given a fair amount of money to strengthen the team

Wow, I didn't realise how much Southampton had spent.

This looks a really bad appointment to me unless Rangers are going to seriously invest under the new ownership structure.

StJ in a relatively tough league cup group stage group…and my lad wants us to go to the first match on 12th July…against East Kilbride FC in EK

Now I never in my ever imagined travelling up from Surrey to watch the Perth Saints play East Kilbride…in East Kilbride. Close to where I was brought up for a nostalgic trip down memory lane purposes I suppose.

Remember to bring the weather with you.

Hmmm…weather down with us is pretty crud at the moment…but I’ll do my best…hopefully it’ll be better by mid-July.

This Scotland game is woeful.

If only they had waited 24 hours, they could have got a manager with a proven track record in Scotland and Europe ...

I'm surprised at David Murray coming out of the woodwork. I thought he'd be too embarrassed to try and defend the mess he left Rangers in. The man has some front.

Saw a great quote on another forum:
David Murray is just Michelle Mone without the bra's .......
Or the balls .......

Got to assume he's got a book coming out, the usual reason folk like him make an appearance after a few years

Laurence Shankland finally re-signs for Hearts.
Not sure where I stand with that after all the kerfunkle .

Penrice off to Greece for £2m, that seems very cheap
Hearts squad must be about 50 strong now with all their new singings, interesting times ahead.

I thought he was a dead cert for Rangers. Guess the new manager didn’t fancy him?

Kuhn looks off to Como, Shame to see him go as there is a very good player there. Bought for 3.5 and being sold for 17m for 18 months of a player being at Celtic is a solid bit of profit.

Hopefully Celtic get a few signings in as looks like Lagerbielka and Nawrocki are off shortly

Celtic are doing well in making a good profit from decent but not great players.

He wasn’t great last season, but neither were Hearts.

He looks a lot fitter now.
Seemed to be a bit overweight last year.

Signed a Japanese CB today.

Interesting. I thought the interest in buying from Japan would have ended when Ange moved on. Plenty quality players from there I have to say.

I think he increased our interest in that market but as long as there's bargains to be had Celtic will be in there.
