So if you want an Orange Away top for our first competitive game on the 12th of July in Londonderry, you'll have to go visit Memit's Bazaar in downtown Istanbul to get one. --------------------- Hummel at work.......

Steve Gerrard, the man who brought the 2-7-1 system to Scottish fitbaw

Not great for revenue cashflow but in the longer term we very much need to see the next generations of supporter coming to Ibrox. A disproportionate increase in sparking the younger fans interest would be a huge positve of the Steven Gerrard appointment.

The SPFL have backed themselves into a place where I doubt Shifty McGifty will be going that easily, unless 'the case' builds more momentum.

Apparently the evening of June 6th will see a Scotland v England semi-final.

To go 2 up on South Korea inside 8 minutes was a great start but it often means an intial partial relax, followed by hanging-on for a result, so I wouldn't bother too much about the performance today. We'll see how they do in the semi-finals......

France 2up at HT and Togo down to 10 men. Translates as Scotland have got into the last four with Mexico, England and one other.

How did Middleton get on ? --------- Simple equation regards qualification.......Togo win, they go through and we don't. Togo don't win, we go through.

A what I thought was an unlikely 5 goal win would I think put us through no matter what Togo did, ie. best runner-up spot would be assured. As it stands Togo would need to beat France by 2 goals to knock us off top spot.

I hope Spain do well but I doubt they'll win it. Would love to see the media fall-out after Panama beat England If pressed would pick the Germans as the most likely winners.

Togo seem to have been the surprise team of the tournament and they lead the group on goals scored (3) ahead of Scotland (2). Scotland need to win today to have a chance of qualification. If we win and Togo don't or we win by more goals than Togo were to win, we'll qualify. If you think that is getting value out of goals scored, group C has the tournaments lowest scorers, Canada on TOP, having scored 1 goal that gives them 4 points.

As it stands, I don't see an economic situation that will allow SG and his staff to satisfy the expectations that are building towards 2018/19 unless we were able to have the best 'value for money' transfer window I've ever seen and we convert reasonable current performers into much better ones. It's certainly an exciting time, the profile is high but we'll have a much better idea of how things are shaping up come the end of August when our squad is finalised and we've seen some competitive football. #Patience&Realism

They finished 13th (out of 20) but got relegated in 14/15 due to League sanctions re. financial issues. They were in the second tier for a couple of seasons then dropped down another tier and now are in the play-offs for promotion back to the second. #eventful

On their day, the French team that Serge played in could flow like no other in that era. I hope you are resting from your BBC Scotland duty

I doubt they'd appeal only the severity of the fine and wouldn't trust the wording of the redtops.

Thank's,.......... didn't hear that, thought he was to be in Glasgow today.

I hope he isn't in France just now,....he's got some work to do elsewhere !!

Real Madrid managers and winning the CL often means the end of the road. Zidane is the third RM manager whose last game in charge was winning the CL but the first to leave of his own volition. Previously Heyneckes and Del Bosque were sacked.

Elche are now a 3rd tier side.

If true. this is something we could do without. Another player under contract who makes it difficult to be considered. The investigation and it's findings better stand-up.

Good to see that his agent seems to be the first to blink wrt the inevitable pay-off negotiations. On the quiet, I'd get a Private Investigator to confirm that the player is attending rehab.

If you believe an organisation set-up in such a way that doesn't treat you fairly then there is a need to get this out there for public consumption.

Ayr Utd/McCall previously had Ross McCrorie on loan as well.
