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.

Welcome to the NEW Bhoy on the Block….” CHICAGOBHOY1967″.
Someone compared CHICAGO to GLASGOW yesterday ?
I would suggest that while Chicago had ” The ROARING TWENTIES”……GLASGOW still has ” The ROARING 1690’S” Element……….Sadly.
LOL

Congrats BJ.
Watched the whole game.
Man City under Guardiola have always been a good watch ….
… but this season they look like they have a ruthless streak about them.
Arsenal tried hard but were schooled.
IMHO …
Gabriel Jesus was their best player on the night.
Explosive young wide men, Saka and Martinelli, neutered by Akanji and Walker respectively.
Midfield 3 were poor.
Special mention for Zinchenko who was truly awful.
Tierney genuinely must be wondering?
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Regarding the Manc City match last night, Haaland and KDB are astonishing to watch in full flow. The Arsenal defence were terrified of them. Not sure we have seen anything like Haaland before? Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
Arsenal going 4-3-3 was a major mistake. Their middle 3 are the weak point . Still a good team, just not as good as City.
Felt sorry for Tilemans for Leicester last night, what a hit. Ruled out for a ping pong offside in the box before it
@FESS 19 .. 5.07 ..enjoy the sun mate ..nice link ..thank you..
@H…joe is baldy ..John still blonde lol….Heading to young johns wedding in St Mary’s Saturday…
The younger one of the Shammy trio IAN ..my wifes wee brother. sadly passed away..The dreaded cancer..
A lovely boy…On the day of his funeral the Gibby streets were lined with friends who knew him…I kept his original hoops strip for about 40 odd years and gave it to his sons after the funeral .it is now framed
and has pride of place at his home….He was a wonderful footballer .When i used to gig Donnachies in the 90’s
Auld Sonny would always talk about him …..He’s buried at the end of the same row as my son.I’m always up there tidying up and stuff…
H.H
Coneybhoy – yip. Saw that Tielemans strike.
Good player but I think his head is now elsewhere.
I think it’s just a matter of time for Leicester.
Even if they avoid relegation this season, Madison and Tielemans likely to leave plus Reg Vardy ages another year.
Shocking squad management having spent sizeable chunks of dough.

Tribute on “youtube”when DB passed away
“Life on Mars at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum”
FESS, in one of life’s great coincidences I was there that day when the organist started playing a wee set from Bowie’s great tunes. Even my two young grand daughters sat mesmerised by the spectacle. Very special memory.
Ave Ave
@Emeraldbee…Wow mate very special indeed ..would love to have seen that..
H.H
@Big J when you see this….Was catching up on a few weeks posts…Iv’e not been on due to the ole health.
Anyhoo ..the posts about your after the event winnings bets etc ..i feel were out of order…
Reason being…
I’m sure last year or before??? when you were posting about bets etc..you said you were reluctant to give
Tips etc as you would worry about fellow tims losing money etc??. In fact the last bet i had was a young jockey
Doyle i think ??had a double and for 20quid i got 200 odd …it got the wean an I pad…Anyway i took a foto of it
for a laugh……. as previously someone had made the same assumption about your bets…lol.
Anyway i love reading and watchin out for you bets .and great to hear you had another payout last night..H.H
