Sunday will be six full weeks since Reo Hatate limped off with a hamstring injury. That’s too long for him to be anywhere close to fully fit, even if he has been working hard this week. We may be able to get 45 minutes out of him, but I know what you’re thinking, we rushed Aaron Mooy back from injury into a big game and he looked a shadow of himself.
I also don’t think we can use him as a second half substitute. The game may go to 120 minutes, we cannot have our subs expiring. If the game is tight, Reo will be used for the first half only, or extra-time.
Liel Abada’s last outing was the same day as Reo’s. He will surely be retained for a late cameo. Jota, on the other hand, was made for occasions like this.
After chairman Douglas Park and director of football Ross Wilson bailed out of Ibrox, chief executive Stewart Robertson yesterday announced he would leave the club in the summer. That’s a lot of organisational knowledge walking out the door at an organisation not known to possess a knowledge surplus. You are right in thinking this is a club unconvinced it is on the path to glory.
Robertson will be replaced by current commercial director, James Bisgrove, the man who did the deal for Newco to participate in the Ange Homecoming Tournament (Sydney Super Cup). Bisgrove was delighted at the deal until he heard our own man, Adrian Filby, negotiated a fee around twice as much and excluded the “Old Firm” phrase from the all promotions.
Bisgrove has been at Ibrox since 2019 and last year agreed a deal with a Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) company, which subsequently went bust. He was the club’s point man in the deal which saw Castore replace Hummel as kit manufacturer. This deal, of course, only last week hit the courts are administrators for Hummel distributor, Elite Sports, successfully asked the court to demand Newco hand over commercial records. He has a consistent touch, at least.

Moyes and the ref exchanging views on non awarded obvious penalty.
Ach no wonder Davie is upset. Ball hit Liverpool player twice on hand.
Good evening all from Paddy Neesons. You are a shower of rascals.
Arsenal pull one back. City have stopped playing. Unlike ourselves.

local bands such as Sponge(Joe Fisher)were playing country and western /status quo..
Any hoo one fri night playin the Para Handy….there were 4 bands watchin us….and they had all come to here Bowie….Durin radar love ..golden earing …Jada put on a show that blew the punters away.from then on i called him the human metronome…….anyhoo….He’s just finished his radiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer..he will know the results in two weeks…if it has been succesful..Very strange that two peeps out the same band deal with the curse only a few years apart???

H H. Mick
Ach M. M We look forward to your adventures…

each plait must be perfect lol…..
I get john and joe mixed up.
john is 3 years younger than me, but i did play against him in the teenage teams because he played in older aged groups.
the para handly as a “venue” is hard for me to imagine, but i did grow up on tales of the uncles going to exotic pubs like beaujangles to see bands. and always a fight .
from the bands just a bit later than you i know Danny T and the Larkins quite well, as in they are in laws.
night all
@h..At last you beauty bhoy.My uncle wae Jim abd uncle peter so proud of you…
