Translation Service (afternoon shift) "What a cool wee video" : ..........I wid, aw roads.

It brings a little uncertainty to the situation but until it becomes tangible in the form of them dropping points I don't think it changes much in the mindset because it has been very positive in the last two games. The general mood music will be set according to the result at Tynecastle tonight in both camps. We have to return 3 points tonight, a non-negotiable.

You wonder if SG might take into account the weekend Cup-tie at Aberdeen and make a change or two. ---------------- Meaningless aside The last 10 competitive games have seen us score in pairs. The chronological order....1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 0,0, 5, 5 Will the next two be... 2, 2... ?

Translations - I would like to play in the premier League - There are many teams interested, many that have come to see me play. The most probable is that I will leave (Rangers) in the summer. The amount of goals I'm scoring has to have been talked about all over Europe. - It's complicated to play against Aberdeen. I've had some very bad luck. The defenders are always bumping into you and fighting but I have to have more composure and keep the head.

Attempts that are so basically half baked will fall on their arse and whilst it may point to a willingness, it also highlights a lack of political gumption that the VB tend to cover-up with often well received but ultimately empty rhetoric. Rather than get on Beargers back for his personal politics and having the audacity to point out the flaw, better to push for your old colleagues at the VB to get things right instead of making things so easy for Dornan&Co to dismiss.

Kudos and thanks to Jonatan Johansson for bringing the lad to our attention. It just shows you that there are real players out there to be had for relatively small fees if your scouts know their stuff. With JJ it would seem to have been local knowledge/contacts in an area that won't get much attention. Time to stop buying so many players that are past their prime and ripe for the treatment room or being put out to pasture.

Thanks to those involved in the podcast this week. A delayed listen was just the ticket for an hour without having to suffer the seemingly never-ending overspill from Brendangate.

When you think about it, they usually start with a bang over that way..... Strachan brought us Artmedia 5-0 Lennon went to Hampden and got pumped 2-0 by lower league Ross County I hope whoever is in the dug-out for them at Tynecastle keeps up the tradition.

Hence, the need for surgical precision regards the presentation of our case. We need an excellent lawyer with accurate and immediate strike capability rather than Jim Traynor, who employs a metaphorical blunderbuss.

Official word from the PLC Celtic Football Club today confirmed that it has been approached by Leicester City FC to speak to Brendan Rodgers with regards to their current managerial vacancy. Brendan has indicated to the Club that this is an opportunity he wishes to investigate further and therefore, very reluctantly, the Club has granted him permission to speak to Leicester City.

Hartson and his inside track...........

Can you imagine if they imploded and we managed to win the title........ Rodgers would be viewed as THE naughtiest of bhoys by the Groin Brigarde, rather than the Messiah......and Lawwell would probably be forced out.

Within the confines of Scottish Fitbaw Hackland, he is a one man lobby group awarded untouchable status. If Celtic were thinking about their position within the sectarian debate, the appointment could be viewed as an excellent move.

A Lennon appointment would point toward a cash rich club hanging-on to a biscuit tin mentality whilst pressing the same old buttons. The negative would be Lennon back into the frontline of Scottish football and all that this brings with it. The positive is that it would seem that they are happy enough to try and just about stay ahead of us, rather than spend some real money from that brimming bank account and make the gap wider. IMO, this and the messages it sends, significantly improves our chances of stopping 10IAR.

Interesting ! Two defeats in Edinburgh for them this week would be sweet. Lennon being brought in to calm the sectarian divide could be viewed by some to be corporate irresponsibility

Whataboutery is becoming quite a significant and convenient word in that an increasing online arguing world will embrace it gladly. Tis simply A'Tool for the Sluggers in a debate/argument to discredit/nullify tuther side. It's a word specifically designed for propaganda usage and has little to no validity. A debate or argument is a debate or argument ? not an English monologue trumpeted by an Irishman, alongside a Scottish Nationalist (Monday Sportsound).

Good to see 'follow-up' from the Stewart Robertson interview (RTV). However, in an ideal world it wouldn't be Jim Traynor with the delivery. We gave him his first job (contract) in PR and what we've had in return is very much a beginner whose style is so ingrained it won't change. I'd much rather have a combative lawyer who knew his stuff but boxed clever. I appreciate that may be costly but how much do we want this sorted.

Breaking A Foreign referee, Deniz Aytekin from Germany has just sent off a sellick player (and booked broon). ........

I think they are giving us an opportunity to highlight the Editorial Fairness Deficit. #FollowUp

#EditoriallyFair Powerful and well established lobby group influence in play and what tends to happen ? What they say and support is much more equal than tuther side of fence. It's ironic but we are becoming the Palestinians of Glasgow.

Until SG&Co can find a way of firing without him, Alfredo most definately does carry the teams hopes of doing well on his young shoulders. If he can stay on the park at Aberdeen in the next round, I'd be confident of getting through.

Did anyone watch Sportscene last night ? Did they go into slow motion detail on the Kilmarnock sending off,....what de say ? Thanks !

Nothing controversial about the red card, you can't elbow opposition players in the face, especially when you don't have the excuse of raising arms to leap. It was a deliberate elbow jab to the head..........well spotted and an excellent, brave decision by the officials. Attendance of nearly 38K was excellent and they more than anyone deserved the goalfest. The Scottish Cup will be about keeping Morelos available and firing. Good to see no cairds to go with the 4 goals (the League Cup hat-trick in August came with a yellow that contributed to his semi-final suspension). For the first time under Clarke, Kilmarnock are on an extended run without a win and have just been tanned 5 zip and their hopes of silverware this season disappeared with it #Deflection Clarke must have nightmares about wee Alfie Cooponthewing should have had a CoupononMorelos5-0 .....I reckon it would have paid around 80/1 Well done Coop, some prediction !

Morelos for a 3rd in the first ten minutes of the second half then replace him and keep him away from the cairds.
