Variation on Ye Olde taxi driver theme... One of our Polish tenants just told my wife he was a good signing, had several offers from various places but was blown away by Rangers.

It cannot possibly be "up to our knees in blood" as that was being praised by Derek Rae at Tannadice.

They'd simply end up damning themselves if they were to change their narrative from the F word.

The F word to Celtic. Why? because there is no finer sound in football than the Billy Boys ringing round a full Ibrox.

If only we possessed the collective wit to change the words.

I'd hazard a guess that for 16% of the population that they control far more than 16% of the SNP. What percentage of the SNP MP's and MSP's are RC?

Matches not months.

Our 2 best players this season have been McKay who was released at 16 by Kilmarnock and yesterdays MOTM Holt who was deemed not good enough for the Championship by Hearts. I'll give Forrester the opportunity to prove himself before being dismissed simply because of where he's come from.

As opposed to Law's 2 assists in 11 games. Or if you prefer Zelalem with an assist every 185 minutes and Law with one every 394 minutes. (this season) To be honest I don't think either of them are the solution, we certainly need players of better quality than Law who'll soon return to his comfort zone of chickening out of challenges and playing hide and seek.

Petrofac Cup Final.

They will still need to be paid till then though and some will still be under contract next season. Season ticket money my arse it's being funded via soft loans from the Directors and will be for the foreseeable future. Millions and millions. Did you not see the Green legal expenses case and the subsequent appeal, the SFA £250k claim etc...etc. They impact by virtue of money that could go to the playing side being diverted elsewhere.

Legacy players who are simply not good enough yet are still on substantial wages. Numerous court cases. Numerous onerous contracts. Playing catch up with capital investment at Ibrox, Auchenhowie etc. Enough for you?

No but we have some millstones to remove from our neck before we can regain our rightful place.

Jesus wept. As I said it's a completely different culture, the Board won't be handing out contracts they can't afford and I doubt Warburton would wish them to do so. Warburton knows his budget is limited, how many times does he have to say he'll only sign "players that can add value" that's added value in both playing and financial senses.

Or caused them to strike!

There's an element of gamble in every single transfer. We won't be shelling out excessive fees on anyone for a long, long time if ever. It may have escaped your notice but McCoist is long gone and it's a completely different culture at all levels of the club.

To one and all.....

Time will tell as it did with McCarthy and McArthur. It would be gross ineptitude not to look at what's on our doorstep.
