That's the idea. Celtic are in the same boat.

Why? This season, we're competing with Hibs more than we are Celtic.

I wouldn't be suprised if by the 20 minute mark, Svensson and Hemdani are holding hands walking up to the stand, personally invite Stokes onto the pitch, sit on their arse, let Latapy play a long ball through the middle.. the pair of them stand and stare at it and Stokes puts it in the net. Illegal, but highly comical.

Decent result in the end up.

Well done Boyd. Coming from behind twice in Europe is always nice.

You could say "We look fine" as many times as you like if we had a centre half who was at least half-fooking-decent at defeinding a cross ball.

You definitely should.. Another goal from a cross ball, for fuck sake it's getting ridicilous now.

What the hell happened with that shot?

Well in Nacho.

Nearly ANOTHER goal conceded from a corner.

Jesus.. do our away support think they won't be heard simply because it's not Ibrox?

Looked a penalty all the way, that.

1-0 down..

Bow down to Allan McGregor.

J-Rod playing left back.. That's an element of our play lost, he won't bomb down the wing etc. like Smith. Shame.

It's as if they've got a mic on PLG, can hear him every time he shouts. Fantastic.

Auxerre are a decent wee team. Pedretti is immense in the midfield, Cheyrou is classy when he wants to be. But apart from that, nothing too special. It'll be interesting to see the boy Kaboul playing after he was linked quiet strongly with us last week.

Gotta love this hill-climbing programme that's on.

Exactly. We always look back fondly on Gio, even after he said that.

Rangers midfielder Jeremy Clement says his summer move to Ibrox is a stepping stone to bigger things. The Frenchman followed former Lyon boss Paul Le Guen to the Old Firm club back in the summer in a bid to get regular first-team action. The 22-year-old branded the Scottish Premier League 'a minor league', but stressed that he was aiming to improve as a player with The Gers. "Lyon are the best club in France and one of the greatest in Europe," Clement said in the Daily Record. "I have nothing but happy memories of them. "But I wanted to get more playing time and that is what Paul Le Guen offered me at Rangers. "So I headed over to Scotland - but it is fair to say that their championship is a minor league. "However, Rangers are a big club with a huge support, so joining them was a good opportunity - before I revive my career at another club one day. "But while I wait for a move to come around, my aim is to make progress." Meanwhile, Gers captain Barry Ferguson insists there is no extra pressure to emulate Celtic's achievements in Europe. Rangers' Old Firm rivals caused a sensation on Tuesday when a 1-0 home win over Manchester United saw The Bhoys reach the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League for the first time. The Gers themselves are within reach of the knockout stages of the Uefa Cup after victories over Livorno and Maccabi Haifa in Group A. A result over Auxerre in France on Thursday should see the Glasgow side follow Celtic in playing European club football in the New Year, and Ferguson is hoping to mirror Celtic's European run. "There is no extra pressure on us because Celtic are in the last 16 of the Champions League," Ferguson said. "We did it last season, reaching the last 16, and hopefully they can go on and do even better. "Of course it would be good if we could match them (Celtic) by reaching the last 16 of the Uefa Cup. "But, at this stage, I am just concerned about getting the right result against Auxerre."

Hence my plus, I was merely adding to what you said, because someone could look at it and think "But Man Utd and Celtic could both end up on 9 points". No need to get touchy.

Plus if Benfica win and Copenhagen beat Celtic, Man Utd and Celtic will both be on the same points, but because Celtic scored twice at Old Trafford, they'll stay above them.

I don't see it plausable to have women refereeing mens games. It'd hurt the game and make the players look like fools. You shout at a referee when a decision goes wrong, all of a sudden you see players on the park shouting down women? Not for me.

Hartley on the bench, but they finally start Brellier. They fix one problem and create another.

Barca really are having a torrid time of it this season.
