Tempelton's pish I'm sorry to say we need a striker there's holes in defence......Bolt's maybe the answer, but there's McGregor as well could be tried with Wilson I'm happy with what I'm seeing but I fear a good SPL side could exploit our back line big time

guaranteed Hibbies will say we're punishing them for Allan, and it's a deliberate ploy to undermine them ahead of the game on Sunday

TavErni-er - like derrière but with the stress on the second syllable ta VER ni ER

yes I agree. What you said about councils supporting local teams is quite right

problem is none of them would move unless their new club could match the wages their getting here. don't know about Crawford but the rest must be on a good wack

Gordon Smith played for Basel in the 80's. He now suggests we adopt the league structures they used in Switzerland then. Do you think Scottish football would benefit from it. How did it work out ?

take it you're in favour of the improvements Glasgow Council have made in infrastructure around Parkhead then ?

surely for one off cup game it's got to be 50/50

aye Hampden would be fine

every club's selling club if the price is right

who wasn't in the same league as his nephews

I know what you mean. Not the quick passer or runner into space..... but a brain with a cultured left foot.....a young Lubo..... there's always a time in a game when a foot on the ball and a clever pass can make the difference. that and Darren McGregor replacing Keirnen in the middle

Contents [hide] 1 Pre-Chelsea career 2 Chelsea career 3 International 4 Career statistics 5 Career honours 6 Contract Pre-Chelsea career John has been at Chelsea since Under-14 level, having previously failed to earn a place in the academy as a 12 year-old. Chelsea career John made his debut in the academy team as an Under-15 during the 2009-10 season, making two appearances. He continued to make strides into the squad in 2010-11, whilst also captaining the club's Under-16 ranks, but the second half of his season was heavily interrupted by injury. However, fully fit for the start of the 2011-12 season, Swift quickly became one of the Under-18 team's best players, weighing in with goals and assists in the first half of the season. His eye-catching style won him many fans during the successful 2011-12 FA Youth Cup campaign and he finished a superb first season as an Under-18 by making his reserve debut in the last fixture of the season against Manchester United. He spent the 2012-13 season floating between the Under-18 and Under-21 teams, often captaining the former in league action, whilst retaining an important squad role in the FA Youth Cup squad. However, despite some impressive performances in the run to the Final, he was often left on the bench in favour of alternative attacking options by manager Adrian Viveash. He finished the campaign as a regular under Dermot Drummy in the Under-21 ranks. Towards the end of that campaign, Drummy revealed that as part of John's development, he had spent time with Frank Lampard in developing particular aspects of his game, most notably in the goalscoring department. The approach appeared to have paid major dividends in the first half of the 2013-14 season as eight goals in pre-season were followed by ten before Christmas in competition proper and Swift becoming a considerably more dangerous player with each passing game. The goals continued right up until the end of the season, when he made his first team debut in the final match of the 2013-14 season, coming on as a substitute for Eden Hazard in the 89th minute of a 2-1 win against Cardiff City. Three days later he was part of the winning Under-21 Premier League team; defeating Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford. On August 1st 2014 he joined Rotherham United on loan for the 2014-15 season but, having not played as much as he would have liked, was recalled in November. A fortnight later he joined Swindon Town in League One until the end of the season and did largely very well; overcoming some early stumbling blocks to prove a useful contributor in their promotion push, but injury forced him out of an appearance in the Playoff Final defeat to Preston North End at Wembley. International John has represented England at Under-16, Under-17, Under-18, Under-19 and Under-20 levels.

we'll start at the bottom of the stairs on Saturday night

only club deck left this morning. Just back from T.O.

Dumbarton are off to a flyer. They've already beaten Hibs and Raith Rovers.

Think he went to West Brom from Dundee Utd.

His choices seemed to have been 1) Rotherham 2) Celtic, probably similar money to us (who knows) but signing right away 3) Us, but Hibs refused to sell to us. He could have waited until January for a pre contract during which time he could have picked up a bad injury...what then for him ? He's a pro footballer first, fan second......Who can fault him for that !

there is no link to McGilligan's site. The shareprophets article is by Tom Winnifrith and Tom Winnifrith has previous for writing what exactly happened to us by our Nomad Paul Shackleton on AIM

http://www.shareprophets.com/views/14274/rangers-international-football-club-stockmarket-re-float-up-to-20-million-to-be-raised Rangers International Football (RFC) recently announced the appointment of Peterhouse Corporate Finance as its ISDX advisor, and sources close to the deal say that ISDX is desperate for RIFC to join its junior market in London. A few uncertainties remain. the rest of the article is behind a paywall but it's reproduced on McGillivan's site Peterhouse have cleared King as fit and proper we need to show enough cash to last 18 months Lots of interest from rich city bears Ashley's shareholding would be reduced to 3% ISDX debut before Christmas.

I think McGeoch was a Celtic youth player before he joined our youth set up

suggestion in the Herald that if Celtic get him. they'll loan him back to Hibs for the rest of the season

Richard Wilson saying the cash offered is less than Rangers but there would be 2 players moving the other way
