Rumour has it that prior to their play-off second leg against Hamilton Accies last season Terry Butcher spoke to his Hibs players about their prospective lap of honour. It was fatal. Two goals up from the first leg away from home, he thought the job was done. Hibs were relegated despite having fourth highest wages in the division.
Scottish football is more competitive, healthier, than most would give it credit for. As yesterday’s Scottish Cup Final demonstrated. Two towns, emptied of most able bodied adults, urged their team onto what would be an historic win, whichever way it went.
John Hughes is a very modest man. He speaks highly of his peers and considers himself someone who does the obvious things thoroughly. Maybe knowing your limitations is the first step to achieving greatness. I was delighted for him. His predecessor at Inverness, Terry Butcher, flattered to deceive.

Good to see Stuart McCall back in the game. He is exactly what Rangers need just now. Change had to be made for Rangers and McDowall’s sake.

Do you not find it strange that the ” honest mistakes ” don’t even themselves out

“. ….since taking their place in the Third Division three years ago ……”
Good to see the truth being told, and not the ‘relegation’ garbage.

How apt is the groups name????
That must have been some motivational letter the Union Bears wrote to Stuart McCall.
He read that out to them before the Motherwell tie and it had a profound effect.
As for the Bell howler, I am torn between wanting to see it again as a first time virgin viewer and the fact that it remains hilarious to see on the 19th occasion I have watched it.
BTW one of our more regular CQN critics of Celtic touted Cammy Bell as a signing to replace what he considered to be an ineffective Fraser Forster some years back before he left Killie.

Difficult shift for Jim Traynor tonight.
Any suggestions to help him put a positive spin on this one?

I usually read back through comments i’ve missed on CQN, but tonight I won’t – no-one could have expressed better the feeling of schadenfreude I feel tonight.
Oh and I sometimes don’t sleep well on a Sunday night, but I’ll sleep like a baby tonight.
I know, I know – I’m a bad person but ooh I feel joyous tonight.
McCall seems not to care less re Moshni…he’s out of contract ….shameful dodging of responsibility

How Rangers CAN get promoted
It was all doom & gloom at full time on Thursday. Rangers, humbled humiliatingly by the visiting Motherwell, saw their chances of promotion hanging by a thread, and that thread in itself was only there thanks to Darren McGregor’s late goal.
However, if there is one solitary positive to take from the result, McGregor’s goal aside, it is the fact that Rangers’ best results under McCall have been when the Ibrox men needed to win in the big, big matches.
Hibs away – it was about three points, as was Hearts at home, as was Hibs in the first leg of the semi. Ditto at Palmerston in the quarters.
The reason Rangers lost in Edinburgh on the day in the second leg is the entire match had been a protection job, a containment attempt; sustain what they had from the first leg and make sure not to concede. It might have been the wrong mentality, but it worked, and Rangers made the final thanks to a big defensive display.
This time the role is more akin to what Rangers needed in the three matches already mentioned – an outright win. Like Kenny Miller said yesterday, the roles are now reversed.
Some might call this clutching at straws, but Rangers have been at their most effective under McCall away from home compressing the midfield and springing a fatal counter. They have been most effective with the 3-5-2 when they simply had to win.
Even the Motherwell match was not a critical win – it was an unknown. Rangers went into this match not truly knowing what they were up against, nor what they needed to secure the tie. Now we do.
Rangers travel to Fir Park knowing a display like McCall’s first in Edinburgh is required, one where a containment job is not the order of the day as it was the second time he took his team there; this time Rangers have to attack – but unlike Hibs, Rangers are not completely toothless. Over five playoff legs they have scored 6 goals. It is far from a glut, but it shows goals are there.
Can Rangers go for it and claw back those goals? They have to. And that mentality might be the very inspiration needed to achieve it.
Did Moshni blend in with polis horses and canter away?
Seriously though you can’t raise your hooves like that and expect to get away with it.
If Fraser Wishart won’t represent him will the SSPCA step up to the ….. Stable?
Oh and nae stickies ever again list? Stick me on it. Me plus my whole family.
HH jamesgang
Just listened to the Lee Erwin interview after the game, admits he followed Rangers as a boy but Motherwell is his team and pay his wages, I quite like honesty like that, then more or less calls Moshni out for being a clown and finishes ‘Motherwell are where we belong says in the interview we battered them over the 2 legs home & away and we are a class above them
Canny disagree with any of that, by the way Gordon Strachan seems to like him, heard Ronny had looked at him, not for me but Ronny & Gordon know a lot more about football than I ever will

Wondering what those men of letters over on FollowFollow made of today’s exhibition by the inglorious planktoneers?
Wonder no more. For the magic of timfiltration brings the moment-by-moment blows to the Monkeys’ pride.
I do not apologise for the language – why, because they’re Huns; what else do you expect?

5-1 on agg – just get to **** McCall & the rest of those ****ing imposters.
Never has the phrase “You’re not fit to wear the shirts” been more appropriate.
Clear out every single one of the bastards.

Pathetic.
The rebuilding job needs to start ASAP, and that means dispensing with McCall
and the majority of those shitebags.

Absolute disgrace.
Slow, unprofessional.
I’d sack the lot tomorrow. A team of wasters.
Bell is fuxking woeful. Foster, an amateur.
Miller and Boyd should have to pay back their wages. Disgusting mercenaries.

ive never felt so ****ing humiliated in my entire life, years of
supporting rangers than i have today.
—————————————-
what will they call Ibrox when it’s renamed ?
Managers are rightly judged on putting players in the positions they’re most effective.After seeing the first goal and the end of the game I’m puzzled as to why Mc Call failed to play Moshni in goal.His punching ability is clearly far superior to the keepers.lol.lol.lol.
Evening all.
Long time since last post. Couldn’t miss the chance.
Well 6 Sick 1.
Two renewals and two new season tickets bought yesterday.
Absolutely delighted my children won’t have to see that shameful team next season.
Hope more fans will now buy STs.
Btw – Moshni ban will have same impact as the bans given to bougherra and diouf – players not here next season. Club gets away with it.
Hail hail
Anyone with a vid of brollyman one of my highlights of the season
Taken from the guardian posted by OG Rafferty
“Hand on heart, I didn’t see it,” said McCall of the Mohsni versus Erwin clash. “I was going down the tunnel and heard a roar. Obviously if that [a punch and kick] has happened, it is not acceptable. It is disgraceful, if that’s the case. Nobody can condone that kind of behaviour.
Someone telling porkies I think, you may want to look at Big Cup Winners photo McCall

Scottish parliament to hold an emergency session after today’s “Shame game.” Rumours suggest aiming a punch at a football and missing will carry a mandatory sentence of complete mockery.
I find it incredible King was not at their game today, probably prancing round London trying to raise some Wonga, did naebody on here tell him the city is closed on a Sunday.
Any lurkin huns ? What is you King thinking ? Well I’ve news for ye. That mob aint getting 1 Kuggerand fae me
Great to see so many on the blog tonight. Time to promote the Dublin 2016 hootenanny again. Further information @

Scott Brown- the Laptop Loyal wanted him sacked/dropped/stripped of captaincy/jailed/hung at the Gallows Gate,for enjoying a night out-Moshni……what do you think bhoys? Should have been lifted while still in his strip.
I avoided all meeja in the run-up and during the game in case I jinxed it….
any snippets from Shorties shame to share?
Is someone sitting with Chick’n’ Dick ce soir…………just in case?
Saint Stivs
There is one photo with a policeman watching the fracas, from very, very close proximity.
He’d better have taken some action and/or submitted a report or it could get tricky for him.
Or maybe not…they weren’t singing Boys of the Old Brigade.
Rumours abound that Paul Murray’s quiff collapsed by a whole inch today.
!!bada bing!!

Personally I would prefer he got a new 5-yr contract
Elbows gettin hit with the umbrella
lol lol lol
Just read Dick’s match report on the beeb website. Reads like he filed the first couple of paragraphs then dissolved leaving a staffer to complete.
Hopefully a lot of dosh was raised at the bigger game in Lanarkshire today, the game arranged by Lisa Hague at New Douglas Park in Hamilton.

=============================================
Anger management is required for the hurting zombie rockets. Step forward Bilel Mohsni……no longer a contracted player for the quintessential British club will be the (directed) focus of their ire.
The regular diet of Puff pieces for our gullible neighbours will resume, maybe on Thursday or Friday.
