I agree Miller should not play for Scotland again. We have too many better players that should be given the chance to shine - and are on great form.

the structure change they made to it though with more teams, helped them flourish - kinda wish one day, the Scottish league goes that way. Sky might be more interested. Are we one of the smallest league sizes in comparison to Spain, England, Holland, Italy, Germany etc???

If we can get 4 points from those 2 games then we will be right back in the hunt. I dont think any team is going to run away with this league so a few wins here and there and the draws will keep us floating near the top of it. Wales will be tough though if Bale and Belemy are playing but just stick Charlie Adam on Bale, he seems to have his number!!!

very respectful win for Celtic.

Jimmy I would like to see those numbers of our budget and Motherwells - not saying you are wrong in anyway but remember Rangers only have maybe 9-10 senior players and the rest are all youngsters who will not be on hefty wages right now. I think with our minimal squad and other SPL teams larger senior squads that it might be close, of course Celtic aside. I also read somewhere that Rangers attendance was higher than all other cup ties combined and Celtic were playing at home, is this correct? Reduced tickets or not, novelty or not - the fan base is there, its better to bring in 20k more fans and have so many of them buy pies, bovril, programmes etc and add to the finances in every and any way. Dont get me wrong I am sure a lot of Celtic fans are saving money to hit up the big CL games and boost crowds then, but bearing in mind that Celtic should be heavily supported by Glaswegians and thus reducing tickets for Tuesdays game dramatically would have swelled your crowd and increased your own finances somewhat. Its better to make 5 quid than no quid - complacency and bad business. Afterall its a business right and a business has to make a profit, thus stopping the resulting business going into liquidation and so on and so on.

come on Dhanny, I think you need to be more honest in your post's and less one sided. If your fight is for 3rd then why on earth would you have taken a point before kick off, you honestly think you will get a point against them away from home? you might but they cant play worse than that in their own stadium. They were there for the beating and no true Celtic fan can be happy that you did not take 3 points against a very poor Benfica side and thats with a very weak Celtic side ( only comparing previous European adventures, and Celtics quality then ) They were there for the taking and that was your 3 points, that would have given you an excellent assault on 3rd place. I am not having a dig, I just dont agree that you should be happy with a point, before kick off or not.

I cant see either banner all that well so I cant make what the offensive remark is or what the fans where trying to make a point of in either banner.

Chris thorburn is a good friend of mine, he is the president of ORSA - he will make you very welcome. Really nice guy also. He lives in Melbourne, we became friends in New Zealand. You will have a lot of fun great city.

Celtic need their home points to have a chance of progressing......that was a team they should have beaten, no bones about it. I think every Celtic fan will be honest and see that as 2 points dropped.

Let me know where in Australia you are moving too and I will give you the relevant contact to get in touch with the supporters clubs. you will be part of ORSA, I think.

its besides the point as to why he is concerning himself about a now extinct club, the same could be said for the SPL's persistance against that same "extinct" club as you put it. He has made some interesting talking points, none more so than - just move on.

The same QOS whom have an SPL scalp to their name this season, one being against the team lying in 2nd spot currently.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/powerbrokers-have-known-of-rangers-ebts-for-years-1327563 Not saying I agree with what he has said, but there are a lot of interesting talking points and of course tit for tat. Without this Topic going downhill fast, do you think he is valid in the EBT points of Rangers case v what Celtic had with Juninho? Could HMRC & SPL have done more to help Rangers survive through the Whyte debacle?

until a ruling is made and we are vilified then I am sure you will get the correct response. Its all hearsay right now

Sack Levein now and its the only way any changes can be made - he is too stuck in his ways of how he wants to play. Fletcher will come back to play under a new manager perhaps. A Manager to be so inept and playing half his team out of position says everything you need to know. I know we have gone through manager after manager in the last few years but reality is this - we need to find a manager who can get the most out of select band of players, with youth and experience and not afraid to go for it and mix it up. I agree on the point of if we qualify for 2014, who will play - it should be the youth of now, and if they make then they we will be better and stronger for it. Its all or nothing already in this group, if we dont beat Wales then forget about it.

its just so frustrating man, we think of ourselves so highly. We simply do not have the ability to hold the ball for longer than 5 seconds. Every touch we take we look uncomfrtable on the ball - teams know they can penetrate easily through us, so they can sit back and push the pace anytime they want. We are just not good enough, we can get draws that comes natural to us - winning is a habit and its something Scotland has never had mentally. If we qualify from this group it will purely be on there being so many draws between the top 4 teams that a couple of wins ( lucky in our case ) jumps us into contention. I will keep believing though, after all - I am Scottish and thats what we do!!!

i was at a ferry game two seasons ago and saw first hand the the disgraceful antics of the ferry manager , committee and players , i will not say who their opponnents were as they did no wrong . Someone else being brutally honest - from experience!!!

yes your correct, my mistake.

thank you madman, finally someone who knows and has been in the game for many years with an honest opinion.

I have no affiliation to Q/Ferry but the above is the biggest piece of bullshit I have read on here. Someone who was not at the game deciding they are guilty and not just guilty in this instance their whole existence they have been as well.In fact you want a Club and community terminated. You would do well if you apply for a job at the SAFA as you seem to have the credentials they are looking for. now now Noir, correct I was not at the game but based on many games of experience against them and things that went on during those games - I have a right to indicate that its in their history, I did point out that players and managers move on yes but their stigma resides - rightly though so you pointed out that I condemned them wrongly in this instance, but its still my opinion and has been for a long time that this team would not be missed in the fife leagues. I will gladly change my opinion if the referees report states otherwise.

Thats the point, the cold forth water to cool them off!!

your right sorry, my mistake.

The ferry have always been known as having a bunch of neds/thugs playing for them - they have also had some quality players in the past and some nice guys but all too often atttract the brutal jailbreakers. I have Never playerd in a game at that field without 2 or 3 of their players sent off, their committee sent to the shed and often their managers sent off. This is all over a number of years and many players change and managers etc but the stigma remains and its no surprise this happened. Of course the uni players are at fault in their own way but surely people on here are not stupid and blinded to believe for one minute the Ferry did not instigate or the ring leaders in all of this. I guess it will all come out in the ref's report, then the subsquent police report and then the punishment that will follow - until then its everyones opinion and they will all be valid and right in everyway ( if they have had personal involvement ) Ban the ferry and get that dump of a park out the league's - their better players will find a good team elsewehere and their thugs can swim the Forth and get back in their cells at Barlinnie.

he said Star was the greatest in a previous post I think.

the big difference is that the majority of ammies teams have players who dont train hardly, maybe make it once a week and walk right back into the team on a Saturday come game time. At junior level this rarely happens - of course there is the minority.
