It took a late goal from Anthony Stokes to secure Celtic’s win at Tannadice in August. That led to a five match unbeaten run for Dundee United, which ended two weeks ago at Pittodrie before Inverness knocked 10-man United out of the League Cup on Tuesday with a 120th minute goal.
Jackie McNamara has stabilised his team and they are likely to finish in the top three this season, but the defeat on Tuesday, which led to a storm of controversy over the behaviour of Nadir Ciftci, will be a major challenge ahead of United’s trip to Celtic Park. The champions should win comfortably.
There was little glibness evident in The Herald’s sombre interview with Dave King, published this morning. Despite apparently getting along famously with antagonists on either of Rangers International shareholding, he was unable to reach a deal, perhaps because he didn’t speak to the Organ Grinder behind the club playing in Rangers colours.
Indeed, neither King, nor anyone else trying to oust, or do a deal with, the current board, knows the ultimate beneficiary behind Blue Pitch Holdings et al. Is it you? It’s not me, but I suppose that’s what everyone is saying right now.
That question, is the only show in town.
King wrapped up his comments to The Herald by saying “Over the last two years we have all witnessed the destructive value when individuals, who should be putting the club first, advance personal agendas through the media in an attempt to influence the most important stakeholder in Rangers Football Club – the fans”.
Self-awareness is a rare thing.
Mr King is 100% correct on the destructive influence those who have divided his new favourite club have had. Without the modestly self-named Blue Knights causing ultimately unproductive havoc, Charles Green’s consortium would surely not have over-paid and under-charged, leading to the situation King believes could lead to administration. The question now for those on the outside is, do they have the votes, or are they just peeing on the Broxy Bear Burgers?

Turkeybhoy – Agree with your opinion of Scott Brown as a major force in our team, but 90% of the benefit he brings is to the SPL. In Europe, he is dead weight. Aggression and intimidation is no longer enough to influence European games. The opposition at this level are just playing a different game to the one Broony plays week in week out. If he was able to contribute 10 goals a season from midfield and improve his forward distribution, then that, combined with his aggression, determination and workrate would make him a world class player.
I don’t think we will suffer as a result of him missing the next couple of games, especially if Commons is fit and we can get Sammi back playing again. Would like to see Rogic given the nod ahead of Biton in upcoming SPL games – he seems to have the greater potential and could add a new dimension to our midfield.

I mean…..if they hadn’t announced Traynor had left you’d never really have known he was still there?
It’s not all bad news for Pat Fenlon. As a Celtic supporter he’ll be delighted to discover that his photograph is in the CQN Annual -which is selling like hot cakes! Thanks to all who have ordered so far and it’s great to see the little mentions on the blog that orders have been placed.
Re the Pat Nevin interview for CQN Magazine – all arranged.

Traynor offski:
“RANGERS today announce that Director of Communications James Traynor has left the Club.”
Monaghan, where did you get that titbit from? There’s nothing on the New Mankies website.
Traynor will scrawl for The Sun,burnt his boats at the DR i suspect…..though Shortbread will have him back of course.
I wonder if the local advert in my newsagent that shows sevco looking for a ceo..will also appoint the paper boy to deal with the media lol
Hopefully Jabba had a nice big pay-off.
Something big is going down if he has walked away
