Do you mean a real elbow in the face or a slight brush from an opponent's arm, like Dessers got?

His crossing looked pretty decent.

Thankfully, Barisic and Lundstram have gone. Here's hoping we get rid of a few more before the window closes (including the two I mentioned).

Goldson and Scott Wright are the two that immediately spring to mind.

I did say "a European final", which the Europa League final is. We signed Tav nine years ago, so in the grand scheme of things, two years can safely be described as "recently".

But we have players who have recently reached a European final.

Some of those lads were playing for Forest Green and Burton too. Not exactly megastars.

Barron looked slightly better than Raskin. I've seen enough of Dessers for one lifetime. His daft rolling about in the first few seconds epitomised his entire performance today - a truly awful footballer, who acts like he wants to be everybody's best pal (the Man Utd players didn't even acknowledge him and I don't blame them). Here's hoping Danilo can make the No.9 role his ASAP.

Ridvan looked pretty good when he came on.

Who rates him?

Why is Wright starting for Rangers? We know what he offers, having seen quite enough of it already.

@ian1964, what on Earth have you been smoking?

Wright and Dessers - garbage. Barron - good attitude but needs to reign in the long balls. Diomande - looks off it. Jefte - all over the place. Sterling - very good.

Kick off delayed 15 minutes.

No doubt someone will post his stats in response.

Wright starting. I knew I should've bought that bottle of whisky when I was at the shop.

There will be transfers (in and out), so it's impossible to know what the starting XI will look like in a couple of weeks.

I get downhearted every time I see Scott Wright mentioned.

Agreed. We'd be mad to spend £7m on one player.

What's it called now?

Aye, I'm not saying I agree with it. Football is over analysed and over complicated these days. All the focus seems to be on percentages and that's why we rarely see players do something extraordinary or take a chance against the odds. I prefer 4-4-2. I blame that separatist prick Pep Guardiola.

We basically play with three forwards, so the 'lone striker' stuff isn't really true.

It's possible to just write something like, the Daily Record have tweeted blah blah blah without posting links.

Thanks.
