Super Cooper

Celtic have proved there is plenty money if you do your job right. That is what we have not done. We went on a run to the Uefa Cup final and posted our highest ever turnover yet the debt we were carrying increased at the same time. Our business model has been pathetic for so many years our fans have been brainwashed into thinking the only way to fix it is to leave the country. Scotland is not our problem, we are our problem. We have to show that we can look after ourselves before we should even think about moving elsewhere and right now we are miles off that. The best way to solve the obvious issues of being located in the Scottish game is to box clever, do better and work harder. We have had it far too easy for far too long.

I disagree with anyone who thinks we need to get out of Scotland.

I am sure he is told to keep possession, he can't do that.

Foster is a dreadful footballer but he has a Scottish hard working mentality which our club seem to demand and he also knows what is required or rather expected to play for us.

Good news. Both passengers and not good enough.

Why are the excuses dragged up for Ally not good enough for Hutton too? If anything, Huttons job was made even harder by some of the criticisms aimed at the manager.

One player i wanted us to get rid of this summer but i believe he has been working hard and i believe he is feeling good after the hard work our lads have put in so far so i think he deserves one more chance, a clean slate as it were, like everyone else.

A) We can only play 11 at a time. The squad this year is incomparable to last years. With a first team squad as you say, 27 strong, (I say it's 34) 2 out on loan, possibly and the manager desperate to sign another 4, that would leave us with 29 with your numbers(It would actually be 36). We also have numerous youths we can call upon to compete at the level we find ourselves. There is no chance we will run out of players. B) Have not or didn't have? We had them up until very recently, every year from the 1990's. Mitchell, MacLeod, Crawford, Aird and McKay maybe up and coming but they are now established first team squad members. Their only handicap is their age and lack of experience but that is something that every other team on the planet has to work with. That is football. You have brought up two managerial weaknesses. Why does one have to be forced into playing kids? Why would managers have to rely on more seasoned pros? Especially when the kids are doing the business, holding their own and showing up their older more mature team mates like ours have. Last season our kids put our experienced players to shame, some would argue seeing our kids last season was the most exciting part. The game is littered with players who all got a chance as kids and grabbed it whilst getting their game in the first team regularly. It's my opinion you are putting up a slightly weak argument for carrying a huge squad, an unnecessary squad and possibly even a squad we cannot afford. We are not playing in Europe and we are not playing in the EPL. We don't need the numbers we currently have never mind any more.

Loan spells done wonders for guys like Szczęsny and McGregor. A year or two of regular football for Gallacher will make or break his Rangers career.

Players get used to sitting about doing nothing, offering nothing and picking up wages for nothing. We have had players like that by the bucket load at Rangers for the last 20 odd years. Millionaire passengers. I thought Ally would have learned from all the obvious mistakes made in the last 2 decades.

Sounds excessive. Give the lad Smith a chance to sit on the bench and cover if Ally wants to send Gallacher out on loan.

Let's just say he has already earned over £4m in wages and bonuses in his time here at Rangers. Worth it? Hmm.

Maybe in their dreams, yeah.

I wouldn't say lifted, even before we started pre season i fully expected us to romp the league, win the Ramsdens Cup and, avoiding Celtic on route, make Hampden in both domestic Cups. Everything is in place, there are absolutely no excuses this year.

That shouldn't mean he is singled out for God like praise though. As you say, he done his job, the job he is paid very well to do.

Possibly. He was on huge dollar and would most likely not have got that anywhere else at his age. I don't think him leaving was ever on the cards.

What did he do last summer Rab?

He's only had a year at the club. Deserves another shot for me.

I was hoping Hutton would be moved on. I think Black deserves another chance.

But he is not there to do what is best for you and your people, his type are there to gain political power for his own people. If you compare how many Celtic supporting Catholics are currently in positions at government both in Scotland and England and compare it to Rangers supporting Protestants, there is a clear unbalance. Not that supporting a football club or being a certain religion is the defining aspect. It can be one or the other too. These people are not brought up to be normal, honest and fair minded, they are brought up to hate and stick together within themselves. And by the way, this sort of thing does not just apply to government, it applies to courts of law, the police, the media and the entertainment business too. These people have just about got a complete grip of this country. It is so one sided it is frightening. They managed it by claiming unfair treatment, they claimed oppression of their people and they claimed they were persecuted and where "sitting at the back of the bus" all the while they were employing within their own groups and rising up the ladders of every major sector in society. Of course their claims were just a smokescreen for exactly what was happening in reality. They are taking over and forcing us out. If Galloway had any sort of power he would have you and your people hanging from lamp posts. Giving these people too much power is very very dangerous.

He won't be anywhere near the team when Black, Peralta, MacLeod, Hutton and Law are all available for selection.

With our resources we should already be looking at winning one or both of them. There are certainly no excuses for failure this year.

What did you expect them to do?

Mhanks will be purchasing them, no doubt. They are obsessed with us. Paul McConville will be one lucky spectator.

I think a good few Celtic fans will be there. I am not sure Albion even have 1100 fans. I really want a ticket for this.
