I can’t think of one HL club that would merit league SPFL status, let alone two. Buckie Thistle, maybe. At least some people go to watch their games.

England for once have a good chance in a match with Germany that matters. I expect them to win and then beat Ukraine/Sweden and into the semi final at Wembley to overcome Denmark or the Czechs. Meanwhile, Switzerland having shot their gallant bolt last night will progress no further and only one of Belgium, Italy or Spain can get through.

So, England tip-toeing to success? It could be coming, not home exactly, but to a property in the neighbourhood.

I'm expecting more from Itten this year. He made cameos last season, but nothing consistent, so I'd like to see him take a step up and push for a starting spot.

A problem for a Rangers manager is that he has no time to experiment but absent Morelos I’d like to see Itten and Defoe together for a run of games.

i would send Patterson out on a loan if we can get one where he can be recalled.

 

 

To the EPL or English Championship, not Kilmarnock or St J.

In the good old days the home team changed their jerseys. Rangers change was white or red.

The blue and white stripes was a natty outfit. Might have been a cup tie strip, I really don’t know but it was worn quite often 63/64 including the famous Dundee final.

No resemblance to Kilmarnock because at that time, Kilmarnock played in blue and white hoops.

Is that for real.?

Speculation. Abraham, Barkley, the John Terry connection.

Gilmour would be better at Villa than at Norwich. A loan abroad might be even better. Much as I would like it, I can’t see Chelsea letting him come to Rangers.

Who is the nasal-whiny bloke doing the interview? 

Fair play to the new coach. He looked perplexed. Hasn’t been through induction and indoctrination yet, I suppose.

An investigation I’m not prepared to make.

Lobos.

Villa.

Who are they?

They know who they are.

I don’t. Gabby Logan maybe?

 Not as good as the current shirt which has a discreet Union Flag look to the collar.

Wales have some magnificent players, said Hartson. I wonder why they weren’t selected.

As for the St. George  - I think I meant some dressed up as mediaeval knights

Crusaders, as in the old Daily Express masthead. Some illustrations of St George anachronistically show him kitted out like that as he gets wired i to the dragon.

Gazza!

the old Hibs captain Joe  Davis

Forgot about him. Cracking good fullback with a bit of speed.

That’s good company you were in, compo. You did well to get near them to hack them down.

What sort of pillock dresses up to go to a sporting event? 

I’ve just seen film of the tartan army coming off the train in London. Middle aged men dressed  in a bizarre fusion of Brigadoon and Sports Direct shambling along the platform, some clutching children’s toy animals.

Dear God.

I don’t bother much about the ins and outs of Rangers share dealings so I may have grasped the wrong end of the nettle.

Were the directors’ recent acquisitions in lieu of loan repayments? If so might the consideration have been discounted to reflect advantage accrued to the company by not having to fund cash repayment?

If I’m barking up the wrong avenue, or just plain barking, someone will tell me in the friendly tone that permeates this topic.

I was pretty poor, never got beyond school level. I could use either foot so it was centre half or left back. Minimal skills, no pace and not much bulk. Wisnae fair. Enjoyed playing, though.

That was a terrific offside goal M’bappe “scored”.

He was offside when the move started but initial advantage was nullified when two defenders easily got between him and the goal and the ‘keeper had ample time to position himself.

Rule change to offside but no advantage? Attractive proposition but probably impossible to implement. I doubt referees would want the burden of discretion.

Sweden did well last night. After ten minutes I was reckoning 4-0 Spain. After fifteen minutes I was sure it would be 0-0.

Swedish coach must have Largs medals. Absorb an early run-around without losing a goal then contain the opposition for the rest of the game. Could have nicked one on the break. That would have been the Scottish coaches’ proverbial icing on the Xmas pie, Rob.

When I mention Largs I mean the SFA’s Roxburgh college, not the beach rammy when the Vikings were sent homeward.

Didn’t see the England game but the news channels report a brilliant result and England on course for the final. The modesty is impressive. They’d usually claim to have won it.. 

Many things asil may be but not an ROI adherent. He’ll correct me if I’m wrong. 

He could do a lot better than Palace. Wolves for example.
