buster.

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.

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.

Could do with a second before HT.

Penalty ???

Killie down to 10.....don't know who or why !

Cannae see the game but a Morelos goal after 7 minutes helps to tick off both points.

Can Jack and Kamara play at a high tempo ? They strike me as being more comfortable with a measured and careful approach. That said, haven't seen enough of Kamara to be sure. Would have preferred McCrorie for this one.

Would have preferred to see McCrorie start, is he injured ?

I reckon a response/reaction is almost a given and will come in the form of an effort to start with a relatively high tempo. As I've said, I think it important we make hay and get ahead early in the game when we may have them on the ropes. If it settles down into a not uncommon Killie stalemate or worse and the crowd start turning, it'll be a real test of the players will and nerve. Team news will hopefully bring a starting XI close to the last OF game.

Read what I wrote........ I think we'll end up winning by a couple but that is contingent on an early goal. I wouldn't fancy our chances if it becomes a frustrating battle. #3-1
