Booking £20m from TV rights in China over 10 years is a remarkable deal for the SPFL, it shows a lot of faith from broadcaster, PPLive, who have the responsibility to foster the league in the world’s most populous country. The cash will be beer money to Celtic but represents a substantial income for most of the Premiership.
The deal opens the door for Celtic to follow-through, the only club with the wherewithal to exploit the merchandising, scouting and recruitment opportunities there. We’ve seen strategies developed in Mexico, India and now China, while the European football-tourist market is also now being targeted through online partners.
None of this will put the ball in the Ajax net tomorrow night but it is important nonetheless.
Delighted we’re at Tynecastle in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup. Hearts players found the will to live against Hibs last week but they have little more than effort to their game. Should be a cracking tie, which will not be subject to the performance vagaries of a home tie with Morton.

How long for a dive for Marcelo Vieira tonight and foul
Nice Tifo from Rubentus fans. Still a minging, corrupt club right enough.
Bawsman, they don’t do paying their way.
Anybody looking for tickets for Dingwall Saturday?
I have spoken with Hebcelt in case anybody posts he was looking for tickets, he is sorted.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Bourne. Dudes. But with john park and his talent spotting strikers it can indeed be duds :))

If that wasn’t so serious, it would be funny……. Er, ok I laughed. :))

I’m sorted but have asked for a spare. Problem is the guy I’ve asked is in Amsterdam so I won’t know for sure until he gets back.
If you still have it later in the week I may give you a shout mate.

Don’t know about Wrexham, but if you can make it to Chester, the game will be on in St Werburgh’s CSC. We are five minutes’ walk from the station and there are direct and quick train connections.
TET- Thanks :)
Real Sociedad are without a point in this CL Group stage so far and are up against uber-Galactic English wonder team Manchester United.
La Real are a good team. I am not a betting man, but I would be very surprised if they finish the night pointless and I would be very surprised if number seven Antoine Griezmann does not have a decisive role to play.

What I hate is pop up shops selling cheap (In every sense) fireworks, adding nothing to the community just taking from it.
Aguero scores for City. He is one of the best forwards in Europe.
None of the drama of Suarez just a great player.
Any man that can marry Maradona’s daughter has ” muy grande cojones”.
Then split up?????

Its started at last by the sounds of things
The ‘Nerston Spring’
The long awaited operation to free us from those EK dictators in the Civic Centre
The tanks are rolling along West Mains Road as we speak
Free Nerston Corner is manned and ready to defend itself and sounds like we are heavily armed
Live updates from Kate Adie will be posted here during the night
