I suppose we should start by heading the warning from Sevconian under-performer, Ian Black, who suggested that the Third Division is harder than the SPL. By this logic, Second Division Arbroath will terrify the life out of the Celtic defence ahead of their Scottish Cup tie tomorrow, they did, after all, put three goals past Inverurie Locos in the Third Round tie, and again in the replay.
Only Montrose
Having previously experienced the delights of Brechin, Forfar and the Dundee clubs, after tomorrow, the only Tayside club I will not have seen will be Montrose. These opportunities don’t come around often enough!
In all seriousness, Second and Third Division football is not difficult, it is essentially Keep Fit on the cheap. Celtic must deal with the sincere endeavour of their opponents while giving an opportunity for several fringe players to grace Celtic Park.
With our midfield already stretched by injury and suspension ahead of the Spartak game, Neil Lennon will want to guard this area of the team in particular. Spartak play their last game before heading to Glasgow tonight, at home to Zenit, who sit five points about them after 17 games. This is a huge game for Spartak and interim manager Valery Karpin, who will either succeed as interim, and be made permanent boss, or to fail and to also lose his general manager position.
Unusually for the Champions League, they have five days to recover before facing Celtic, a game Karpin is keen to win. Celtic will technically only have four days rest but the bulk of players likely to play in midweek will surely be rested tomorrow.
Spartak will be without striker Welliton, who travelled to Germany for an operation this week. Emmanuel Emenike, who scored twice against Celtic last month, is likely to lead the line. Emenike is a penalty box striker who is more than capable of exploiting gaps in the Celtic box. Karpin may instead opt to play target-man Artyom Dzuba as a sole striker. Dzuba is not a prodigious goal-scorer but he is able to hold play up and bring others into the game.
I loved media suggestions today that Sports Direct have a fight on their hands from other firms if they want their brand used to rename Ibrox. You have to admire the intellectual endeavour that goes into news coverage in this country. Sports Direct area THE key business partner for The Rangers. The only issue open to question is how much skin they are in the game for and what they get in return. Remember this when you’re buying sports kit for Christmas!
Lower league clubs will all surely be quaking in their boots at the news The Rangers will not only bring in well over £20m in a share issue, but could also earn countless riches from stadium naming rights. The leaked IPO PowerPoint presentation suggested the Offer for Subscription would commence on Monday. I am sure it is on-plan.

I’m not happy…but I don’t allow the MSM to set the agenda ..they can kid themselves on all they want
The SFA have said nothing …IMO their silence is deafening

What about the regular Saturday night battles on Sauchiehall Street? (thumbsup)
Must have been a battle hymn, Philvis.

We have had strong suspicions about them but rarely have they altered their official record in such a strange way as last summer.
They have yet to confirm Sevco’s official status but our strong suspicion is that they have invented a new status so that they do not go the way of previous defunct clubs (Third Lanark, Clydebank and Gretna).
I would have no problem if their fans saw them as Continuty Rangers. I have no problem with Press and media being cheerleaders for that view. I do have a problem with a body that needs to be seen to be an honest even-handed arbiter of rules, being complicit in a commercial fraud.
A Sports Direct Arena in Govan? I think they mean ASDA. Its been there for years.
You know I don’t like to be pedantic, Philvis, but that wasn’t advice.
That was just a sad observation.
jude2005 is Neil Lennon \o/
Ouch! you must hate that street now.
Kilbowie Kelt – I agree.
Bath Street has its own battle hymn too. What a martial race are the Weegies:

I was the Prudential Insurance man in Baltic St. for 3 years.
Imagine trying to collect money off that mob on a Friday night….
Especially since they knew where I spent my Saturday afternoons, never mind my Sunday mornings.

I’m not blitzed. I have been through some hard-times in the last 18 months. My house got burgled, burnt down and they nicked my car.. around 16 months ago. Me and my family were destitute for a while. Catholic mentality kicked in… etc we are ok

News reaches me that The Shipping Forecast is to be extended to provide coverage of all ‘The New Rangers’ away games.
“And as you join us here live from South Utsire, we can confirm that the fear of local flooding has receded and we can confidently predict that following another two centuries of Global change, the north sea will become a desert, football will break out and the currants will no longer fiddle with goats”
