Except City’s midfielders and wingers can score goals so it doesn’t matter so much.

Spot on.

Joint top undefeated after an away game against last season’s third best team. Good result with the players available. Just very disappointing that these are indeed the players available with Cortes down already and only the prospect of Pröpper to give hope.

Souttar the sole defender in front of a shaky ‘keeper. The forwards will have to score six.

I always reckoned Murrayfield was west Edinburgh. My late lamented brother-in-law got a big promotion from Glasgow to Head Office in Edinburgh. My sister would only contemplate buying in Corstorphine being convenient for the ‘bus to Glasgow. They settled for Linlithgow in the end.

No question.

NC Edinburgh? In my day it was mostly lawyers who lived there. Dangerous blighters right enough.

Terrific in-depth knowledge you’ve got there, Ted.

Murrayfield, East Berlin, Gorgie - spot the odd one out. I go for Murrayfield - refined, elegant- the other two bloody dangerous. Long, long time since I’ve been in Murrayfield right enough.

Omnishambles. We were never told this was happening. Fans ignored as usual.

Never fear. Rangers are red hot on contract matters. There will be watertight completion delay clause with cast iron damages quantification. There you are - Rangers legal, red hot, watertight and cast iron.

What they were both trying to say was proper stopper.

When I went to the football, it was to see the team, not the board. No matter how bad they are, it’s still the Rangers.

New Trafford.

Interesting assessment in which case give Kelly a go.

He was making a joke.

It’s a foreign language though more foreign in, let’s say, Corstorphine than in, for example, Clatt. The roots are the same. A recent German ambassador to the UK described himself and his countrymen as the Anglo Saxons who missed the boat.

Do we know anyone in the crowd?

What, again? But where else will we get a twenty goal a season full back? Personally, I’d settle for a defender.

Any idea if Jordan has accepted? How keen is he to come, I wonder.

Is it not the pattern with Butland that he loses form/confidence for spells? You can carry an outfielder through a short bad spell but not a ‘keeper.

Half the team.

An inside forward.

Diomande - could be ok, jury out. Raskin - I thought he’d be a good signing. I may be wrong. Injuries prevent him from getting a settled run of games. Barron - still novice. Dowell - oh dear. Rice - promising eighteen months ago. No progress. Lowry Mk 2. McKinnon - is he promising yet? So really Diomande, Raskin and Barron.

I was optimistic at the end of last season, God knows why in retrospect but pessimistic now. I think the manager is more than competent and able to win competitions if only he had a team of decent tradesmen.
