Bit of an exaggeration. Generally, only one DM comes back, with Tav and/or Barisic further up the park too. So, most of the time, there's only three or four at the back.

I don't think a cup final against that lot is the right time to be throwing young lads into the starting XI. We need to sort out the midfield and cut out the errors at the back. Unfortunately, I don't think either of these things will happen.

I've intentionally avoided watching league matches at the Piggery in the past but never thought I'd see the day where I avoid watching a cup final but I'm the same as you - seriously considering doing something else.

Aye but Declan and Aiden from Coatbridge are Irish, despite their parents and themselves all being born in Scotland. Confused.com

I'm glad Lammers is doing well, as it makes it more likely we'll sell for a similar fee to the one we paid for him.

South Africa, alone, has eleven official languages. Xhosa is my favourite - nothing like sitting in a taxi (small buses over there) and the person next to you starts making clicking noises.

My ex wife is a Capetonian - you deliberately on the wind up! 😡 🤣

There are often Albanian flags at Kosovo international matches. The end goal is a greater Albania, so the majority of Kosovans, unfortunately, see themselves as Albanian. Look at the symbols Granit Xhaka and Shaqiri did at Serbian fans when they played for Switzerland - their parents are Kosovars but the symbol was the double headed Albanian eagle. I think the Balkan market is a good place to look for players. Just not Albanians.

They have every reason to be over confident. We're back to pre-Gerrard, when they had us beat before a ball was kicked.

McCausland for me too. He's been the man to get us back into the last two matches and deserves credit for doing so.

He's ethnic Albanian.

You could call it a personal grudge, on my part (I'm sure our signing policy won't take my suggestions into account anyway, unfortunately).

The last Albanian we signed (Grezda) was a disaster, so I'd prefer us to avoid that market.

The big question is: Will Clement let Celtc run the midfield again? The answer to that will probably go a long way to deciding the outcome of the match. I suspect it'll be more of the same, unfortunately.

Fingers crossed.

You can't really blame fans for being sceptical about transfer rumours, given our recent track record. I doubt anyone in Scotland watches the South African league, so none of us know how good he'll be.

Screamer frae McCausland!

Absolute nonsense.

We can't start next season with Dessers up front. Simple as that.

Dessers' miss. F*ck me, man.

It's a dead rubber. All eyes on next Saturday.

I live about a 40 minute walk from Tynecastle and I'd suggest sun cream might be in order for anyone not in the shade. It's scorchio!

Some nerd will have the stats but I was never a fan of Candeias. Some of his crosses were up there with the worst I've seen.

They're different, as Candeias preferred to cross it but McCausland tends to want to take the ball inside himself.

Be nice to end the league with a win but in all honesty, I'm rather uninterested in this fixture. Hopefully we don't get any injuries and the 700 Bears in the away section have a fun day (no doubt they'll hear 3 or 4 songs about Rangers from the hugely unimaginative home support).
