The exciting shock in last night’s big game saw Icelanders Valur record a 1-0 home win over Rosenborg in the first qualification round of the Champions League. Whoever wins this tie faces Celtic (caveat acknowledged) in the second round.
There is a long way to go for Valur, Wednesday’s game in Norway will be a major test, but even if Rosenborg emerge, it is encouraging to see them stretched, rather than comfortable winners. Let’s hope Valur have a famous day in Trondheim.
Sports Direct were back in court against Newco yesterday, with a judge confirming their case had merit and deserved High Court consideration. A judge would not agree to hear a civil dispute unless steps had been taken by the pursuer to settle the matter out of court.
This raises the obvious question: Why didn’t Sports Direct and Newco just get his sorted out before incurring significant legal costs, not to mention the embarrassment of yet another ‘favourable settlement’?
It is possible that the Newco’s day-to-day management do not have the levers in place to make decisions like this, and that those who are able to make such decisions exist in a fantasy land. But there is another possibility: one party might want to take this all the way.
Newco have already made it known that delivery of replica shirts will not happen until next month at the earliest. If Sports Direct are in in for the long haul, that could be very optimistic. Not that Newco have done or said anything to create ill feeling at Sports Direct.
It is clear Celtic want John McGinn but he will not be crucial to their plans next season. If the player is happy to wait, Celtic are too. They can offer him a pre-contract in five and a half months. Moreover, they can use the £2m they offered Hibs for McGinn to strengthen elsewhere. An option is being considered.
You would think Hibs would figure where this is heading and accept an offer, but Rod Petrie is still chairman, so don’t expect anything logical to happen. This one has a 1 January 2019 feel about it.

“Your old immobile or infirm [Sevco] Supporter, in his house, with his radio on tonight.
Feel so sorry for them.
Some of them have been paying their TV and Radio licences for over 70 years…”
………………………………………………………………………………….
So, some of these auld huns have been watching TV for over 70 years…what programmes were they

They were probably just watching the TV for 40 years. Then somebody switched it on for them.
Half time 1-0 to the Sevco
High balls punted from the back. Midfield weak, Murphy making the wrong decisions. Morelles as bad as ever. Windass posted missing.
The great unwashed getting their annual shower…
Switched on BT – Kevin Thomson (I think) on commentary…..
Talkin p**h son.
5-0 to the John McGinnless Hibees. Floran Kamberi may end up at Celtic Park, the boy scores goals.
Sorry, should explain–sprinklers left on, players getting soaked.
Apparently Honey G is going to “demand that they perform better”. Well that is all well and good, but what is he going to do about them all being mince? LOL
5-1 now.
Well done Lenny

They need to score at least one as that team are technically better.
A lot more technical than big Rorrrrry
JimTim sitting at Boat Bridge and two of them passed me utterly shocked!
