We all know Craig Whyte doesn’t get nearly enough credit for the wonderful job he is doing for Scottish football but his cause was not helped by rookie manager, Ally McCoist, who when asked today if Nikica Jelavic asked to leave Rangers said, “No he didn’t, not at all. I have a wonderful relationship with Nikica. He never said that.”
The Rangers manager then passed the buck onto the unfairly beleaguered club owner, telling STV, “We received a bid from Everton which Craig [Whyte] found acceptable. Therefore business was done.”
McCoist refused to take a manager’s responsibility for deciding who leaves the football club. Craig Whyte made it clear to all concerned yesterday that Nikica Jelavic wanted to leave Rangers and there was no point keeping a player who didn’t want to be there. Whyte needs the backing of everyone with the best interests of Scottish football at heart, including his manager. The intrusive scrutiny he has been placed under in recent months will not help him achieve his objectives.
Whyte hasn’t put a foot wrong so far, we should all mind our own business and let him get on with his job. Eye on the prize, Craig.

Ulster-Celt,
Heading to Donegal tomorrow to speak to a man about a dog, cannot elaborate. I’ll let you know how it goes. Was a bit of a sickener when the news came through though.
I’m going over to the Motherwell match on 25 February with the youngest.
If you want to go I could arrange a seat and ticket. This crowd does pick ups on the way.

There are no fair minded Scottish sports reporters in Scotland.
If they are any good they end up in London.
A decent journo up here would need serious cojones.
That’s why blogs like this are so popular.
Met Paddy Crerand twice. Not a nice guy. Obnoxious t~~ser.
Has relations around these parts in Donegal.
Bring back the Cutty Sark to Dumbarton..says Alex Salmond..

Agree, the saddest thing is that instead of writing about sports (which Britney,Leckie and M’Illvanney can do), the bulk of these eejits are simply ‘water carriers’ (c) RTC for Minty et al.
Can you imagine Keevins or Young writing about boxing?
I couldn’t see them writing a shopping list!

as those two.

Bumped into Paddy, his wife and daughter in 1994, Santa Ponsa, we were on honeymoon. When I told him we were from Coatbridge he told us he knew Phil Cole who owned a legendary Pub in the Town. We were at the time ROI beat the Yanks.
We found him to be a nice guy.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Have to admit that I met Paddy Crerand only once.
Was in Jack Charlton’s boozer in Dublin the night before Scotland played Ingerlund in Euro 96.
He was with John Aldridge as the 2 of them were doing punditry for Irish TV on the game the next day.
Spent about an hour in their company guzzling Guinness.
2 of them were very good company…..only thing about Paddy was that it came across that he was very much more a Man U man than a Bhoy these days. Aldo was (or at least he told us anyway) a big Celtic man too.
HAIL! HAIL!

People who are too clever for other people don’t look the other way.
Well, at least, not until after they have been punched
