Celtic players’ participation in the World Cup ended yesterday as Efe Ambrose’ Nigeria were eventually overpowered by France. Baring injury, Efe will be in Champions League duty in Iceland two weeks from today, which leaves the player little scope to rest weary limbs for the season ahead.
The fitness management of Efe and Emilio Izaguirre throughout the season will need to take a different path from the rest of the squad. The search for cover for both players should be a priority.
It’s a pity for Dundee United, and for Scottish football, that Ryan Gauld seems on the verge of leaving for Sporting Lisbon at only 18-years-old. United have seen enough to know they have a genuine talent on their hands, but the player’s glory years all lie ahead of him.
United will continue to lose genuine teenage talent until they, along with other aspiring Scottish clubs, get a change of environment. If the Scottish Premiership folded into the English Football League structure Ryan Gould would remain in Tayside for years to come.

All we are saying ,,,,,, is ,,,, give us a goal

Well TSD, I’m sure Keane with his 20 million in the Bank won’t be too bothered about what you think. As Henry Ford said to some guy who offered him advice, “If you’re so clever, how come you aint rich.”
In Germany so watching on local tv and 5 live commentary.
How does Nevin get paid for mumbling so much shite?
Chris Waddle is a dead ringer for the 1970s / 1980s Dick Emery bovver boy character.
“Fink I gorit wrong again, dad!”
Defences in the EPL are shite,make guys like Hazard look like world beaters
Is it me or does every team in this World Cup have a player called Gonzalez in it?
Is it some type of prerequisite?
Captain Beefheart 21 41.
Who said anything about dropping in? Why should Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Hearts, Hibs and other clubs not be given same opportunity to prosper as Swansea or Cardiff or any club in the English pyramid?
If Scottish clubs saw their future as a better one in a UK league, why as UK taxpayers should they be denied the same benefits as other UK taxpayers in the same country?
Some impressive turnouts in US stadiums to watch the footy

TSD, He hasn’t taken a drop in salary either, he is combining Villa job with existing Irish job. Anyways that comment was tongue in cheek.

Belgiums finishing is poor
Last £1 on Belgium at 3/1…
I can see the Yanks going through here
What a save….
The Belgians have some individual quality but youth has resulted in poor decision making and they don’t play as a team.
I reckon they’ll be a bigger force in 2 and then 4 years time.
Magnificent effort from Kompany, after a great Belgian move. Saved Howard, of course.
Awe mate

Kyrgios 1- Nil up against Nadal..Yayyyyy..
Wish i was Still Gambling..@ 8/1..
Summa
..
Never let it be Said l don’t know a Good Prospect when l see One..
Still Happy I’m off Gambling tho..;-(
Summa
Sitter USA! To go through, for sure.
Yanks have defended brilliantly,Howard will fancy it if it goes to pens
All my goalscorer bets have been frustrated by Howard
Hazard,Kompany(ew) and Van Buyten( ew) …FFS
I enjoyed that game, cracking end to end stuff..
HT
That same youth could be a big help in extra time.
If Fellaini is worth £28 million… Oh, words fail me.
Only consolation is that I’d be very surprised if any of my fellow CQN Preditcorees went for three nil-nil scores in the last 3 games. Nil points for Jobo today (well, 2 for Argentina making the last 8 and another 2 if Belgium eventually do the same).
