Tom Anguish and the Guillotine. BBC Scotland supports all Scottish clubs in Europe? Of course, we know and, the rest of Scottish football knows; BBC Scotland supports one team more than all the rest put together. It is ra Sellik state of mind. Last night's 7-1 humbling in Dortmund presents a real problem for the denizens of PQ's Gang Hut. Domestically, it is a procession for their beloved green'n'grey hooped horrors. The national broadcaster is intent upon leading the gaudy coloured cavalcade. It is an exercise in triumphalism and the usual suspects are determined to be seen exercising ridiculous swagger when leading the parade. The Drum Major tosses the stick into the air, the cheers echo and, amid the cacophony you can hear the plaintive cry, 'in Brenda we trust'. In his two spells as Sellik Gaffer, Brendan has put out teams in the Champions League that have conceded seven goals on three occasions, six goals once and, five goals twice. He conducts the after match pressers with the same line of mitigation, suffered misfortune, endured higher standards of officialdom and, lessons have been learned from the experience. The last point is something PQ CSC ignores, despite another thumping the preferred narrative of way over the top hyperbole continues. Since the Slovaking easy victory over Bratislava the specific comments emanating from the Gang Hut have compounded : "Kyogo is akin to Messi" - I might have noticed this quality last night if he had not been replete in an invisible cloak. "Maeda is the best presser in world football" - James McFadden blamed him for two of Dortmund's goals. "Celtic are playing like the Harlem Globetrotters" - I suspect they were confusing the basketball entertainers with the reality, the Gallowgate Bogtrotters? "Celtic have invested in their future with Engels whereas Rangers are stuck with the same old faces" - I am sure he will be the third famous Belgian after TinTin and Hercule Poirot. PQ CSC has wound it's neck in reference website articles. The day after their Slovan victory, we were treated to 8(eight) pieces including the effect on the Scottish coefficient and how much money was earned from the game. There are only two articles this afternoon, one of which is a hard hitting critique by Tom Anguish. I thought they may have included Financial Analyst, Kieran Maguire's jottings ie Dortmund have three times the budget of Celtic whereas ra Bhoys have a budget 25 times that of St Johnstone? No, the continuing Sellik fantasy consumes the Gang Hut, there is no sustenance in cold porridge reality. Talking of Tom, the very essence of PQ was on display near the end of Sportsound. The panel was Kenny Macintyre(the Token), Pat Bonner, James McFadden and, Tom English. There had been a fastidious non mention of the last Scottish club to visit Dortmund throughout the show's four and a half hours. It was only three years past but the game was not referenced. The consensus being Brendan's team had been both naive and soft, would he/could he change it? Pat and James opined well rehearsed platitudes then, Tom dropped the R bomb. He compared Rangers 2-4 victory, recited the Dortmund team and, suggested a more practical approach from Brendan. The responses were illuminating. James dismissed the comparison with, "Brendan won't shut up shop and hope for a result" and Pat bullishly replied, "no Celtic supporter would take advice from a Rangers performance". Kenny moved the discussion on to the next game against Atlanta because the Producer/Director guillotined further discussion on that specific topic. A reminder of a Rangers victory was only going to rub salt into collective raw wounds. Pat allowed his mask to slip but, McFadden's retort is preposterous, Rangers parked the bus and got lucky on four occasions? Watch the game again Faddy. Brendan will continue to produce many more Champion League stinking turds and PQ will do Peter's bidding by rolling each and everyone of them in glitter.

Looking forward to 26th of foot giving us the BBC PQ analysis of last night’s Dortmund disaster…..🤓

Well done, Ally for turning up well attired and not looking like a pantomime Rob Roy on Hallowe’en

Would take Hagi over Dowell every day of the week, so squad is strengthened for me He's also kept his head down and played with the youths rather than outright refusing to train (Cantwell)so while only youth football, shouldn't take long for him to be up to fitness

Whatever happened to the seven thirty kick offs oh yes television runs the schedules now

Yes and we should not be too smug about their failures; it harms us as we do our utmost to increase Scotland's co-efficient only for them to piss it up the wall. It's likely that soon our champions will have to complete endless qualifying rounds and not even be seeded. We can do our bit on Thursday but the real problem is the nature of the Scottish League; it's comprised of endless loan players, foreigners who are very substandard and teams who change their line up every season ensuring no continuity. I can't name one St Johnstone or Hibs player for example. The only way the league improves is to develop our own - players like Barron, Lennon Miller and David Watson. And don't give me that tired old excuse that the SPL is too competitive.

What a chuckle I had checking the scores this morning. Brought back down to earth with a bang. Looking at the other scores there was big wins again, 4-0s 5-0s etc. This format is like picking 9 Premier League teams, 9 from the Championship, 9 from each League 1 and 2.

I suspect that this deal was negotiated to allow Hagi to showcase why a club should buy him in the next window. Win-win. No skin off our nose to give him an opportunity and if it works out and he contributes then it's another win-win. I'm surprised it took so long to agree terms.

Should have put his golden boots on

The shoes are a bit of a disappointment.

He probably knows that if he gets a game he'll have to put in a performance that will help everyone especially his price when we flog him .

I wonder if having no sway over the referee had anything to do with this disaster I'm sure some Scottish referees might have found fault with six of the Dortmund goals

I'm not going, but will be watching in Sunny Florida 😎

I am hearing Humza Yousaf led ten thousand Palestinian demonstrators to the Westfalenstadion at half time, demanding an immediate ceasefire.

When you see these results happen to them in Europe regularly it makes you sick that our lads shite their pants at the sight of green and white.

Only certain teams can win in Dortmund 😁

Have seat subbed but don't expect it to sell. I am too bloody old for this shittery,I really miss the good old days when kick-off times suited the fans.

It’s a gamble but a fully fit Sterling is a stick on starter. He’s one of the(very) few we’ve got who can actually read a game of football

Sensible decision from both parties. Player and agents obviously thought there would be more interest in the summer than transpired. He is here until January(at least) so if we can have him play games and contribute its definitely a good idea. I think he is a better player than Cerny or Dowell.

Good news. For all his limitations, Hagi has proven himself to be a useful player in a Rangers jersey so is much better contributing to the first team than not. Best outcome for all parties.
