I hear Peter told Neil to get a tenner on William Hill being the SPFL's next sponsor?

Humza has in the past taken to Twitter and tweeted fairly regularly on matters Rangers. 1. There was his selfie photo replete in his white Sellik hoodie. 2. As Minister for transport he cautioned against his sister travelling home by Underground because Rangers were playing. 3. The day prior to Gerrard being appointed Gaffer, he tweeted, "Steven Gerrard will NOT be joining Rangers". 4. As Justice Minister, he promised a full inquiry and published report into the PF Office deliberately disappearing all evidence against nine fellow Yahoos in relation to the hanged by the neck effigies. I believe the MV Glen Sannox will sail before the report is published? Seven years and counting. 5. At the end of March this year; on being asked what he would be doing if not FM, he replied, "I would be Chairman of Sellik".

I hear we are changing shirt sponsors for next season. The company are called, 'PenAlto' - a global real estate firm promising a 'high five' service. The layout on the front of the top will confirm the preferred prejudice of the vast majority of the Scottish based broadcast and print media : 'PenAlto - Rangers'.

A BBC Scotland photograph is worth a thousand words. Talking of which, the thousand word article accompanying the photograph is uncredited.

Rangers youths are participating in this season's Youth Cup final against Aberdeen tomorrow evening at Hampden.

The Bluebells are blue.

The half time score is St Mirren 1 Jack Butland 1. Surely, our Keeper should demand the Gaffer plays at least another two or three players with the correct attitude?

May I offer my every sympathy. Woodentopery, like Bootneckery is a recognisable condition and I believe treatable? Utrinque Paratus Loyal RSC.

It was the Scotland v Zaire group match during the 1974 World Cup hosted by West Germany, the match took place in the Westfalenstadium in Dortmund. My old man took me as a reward for gaining access to University, we were standing outside when Willie Waddell passed as part of the SFA party. The perceived wisdom is that Waddell on returning to Glasgow persuaded the Directors to model the new Ibrox on the Dortmund stadium.

Liam's old man is/was a big Sellik man, we know because Liam has told us so on numerous occasions. Liam's brother hit the front pages of the red tops some twenty years past because his social media was laden with numerous posts reference H-u-ns and the Ibrox Disaster. Liam's brother was a serving senior officer in Grampian Police.

I saw the title of the thread and immediately thought, another discussion reference Angela Haggerty.

It's third time lucky and Dens Park gets the all clear to host tonight's match. Gang Hut productions hosted by 'Jonners' as in the diminutive Sutherland. He is joined by Liam McLeod to read out the teams but, is first asked about the state of the pitch? This is important because Dundee did not allow any TV presence at yesterday's pitch inspection. Anyways, Liam gives it thus : "the picture I'm painting of the Dens Park pitch is perfection". Meanwhile the Dundee PA system is pumping, the first three tracks are, Waterfront by Simple Minds, Raintown by Deacon Blue and, Don't Apologise by Kevin Gates. Jonners and Liam like it a lot.

Dens Park has finally passed a pitch inspection and the game in on, 20.00 hrs kick-off, Wednesday 17th April'24.

The longer a player is out injured, the better he becomes. However, two players with long term injuries are really hampering how the Gaffer wants the team to play. Cortes is a real miss, he provided balance and necessary width. Yesterday, Ryan Jack's positional sense would have nullified one or two of the attacks that ended in County goals. Further, he would have been available for the short balls that ensure possession is retained and we move forward in gradations.. Those lumps up to the opposition's eighteen yard line and players flooding forward in support killed us.

The first five minutes of the second half? It has been a lethargic, disjointed first half where we have been the beneficiaries of good fortune, mainly the own goal that puts us one up. We have created another three opportunities to stretch further ahead but spurn them. The second half begins with our kick off and, several seconds later Borna puts a raking diagonal straight out of play. During the next two minutes, we play a couple of balls on the edge of the County box, lose possession and on both occasions, County pick out a pass to central, forward player. He has time for a controlling touch, turns and, gets his head up to release a pass to breaking wide teammates. Three minutes later, the previous two instances are repeated and on these occasions, County put the ball in the back of our pokey twice. Those first five minutes of the second period epitomised our performance today. Ross County played with a discipline, structure and, an energy. Well done County on your first ever victory over Rangers, fully deserved.

RAB Cosgrove has just announced from within the PQ Gang Hut, "Ah'm eighty-five percent confident that the Dundee Rangers game will be moved to McDiarmid Park". RAB has rationalised the situation, "they huvtae make a decision on Tuesday, they cannae let it go until Wednesday". RAB is happy because, "St Johnstone will make some corn from SKY and, make some corn from hosting". Has RAB had a whisper from his old mucker, Murdoch MacLennan or, is he blowing it out his large arse as usual? The ticketing will prove interesting, how do the rows and numbers for Dens Park compare with McDiarmid? Further, do we want to move from the Dens waterlogged surface to the McDiarmid ploughed field?

In summary. After days of conjugation and deliberation the SPFL has concluded, 'to kick the can further down the road' but, not as far as a neutral playable pitch. Anyways, the decision is delayed until next Tuesday and if it rains again and the drainage does not improve, then we will take the decision as instructed by Peter. This has been a Shifty McGifty production.

Eric Drysdale is an SNP Councillor in Perth as well as being Dundee FC's Secretary. When Rangers issued the bullying dossier four years past, the three attack dogs named were Mike Mulraney of Alloa, John Nelms and, Eric Drysdale. Peter holds all their leads.

Dundee confirming their GREEN credentials.

This is the fifth time this season that a fixture has been postponed at Dens Park. In the last calendar month, Dens Park has hosted Aberdeen on the 13th March, postponed Rangers on the 17th March, hosted Motherwell after a pitch inspection on 6th April and, again postponed against Rangers today 10th April. Thus, a Premiership ground has been required to host four matches and the two against Rangers have been postponed. The SPFL Chief Executive is Neil Doncaster, the Chairman is Murdoch MacLennan(Shifty McGifty) and, the non-executive Director is Karyn McCluskey. The rest of the SPFL Executive Board reference the Premiership includes Malcolm McPherson(Hibs), James Bisgrove(Rangers) and, James MacDonald(Ross County). Twice the can has been kicked down the road and hoping Dens Park will be playable a week today given the above facts, is extremely optimistic. A decision is required from the SPFL Board. I seem to remember Hibs gained considerable traction with their, "enough is enough" statement. When does the SPFL Board consider enough is enough reference Rangers supporters? Another point worth remembering is that Dundee Chair, John Nelms conveniently lost and found an e-mail allowing Sellik to be awarded the Premiership with seven games to be played on the point of lockdown. Further, he blows Peter's cheese and Peter tells Neil and Shifty what and when to do.
