Rangers manager, Ally McCoist, appears intent on testing the SFA following his outburst yesterday. According to McCoist the Association “effectively called” Sone Aluko “a cheat and a liar”. Chairmen of the disciplinary tribunal, former referee Jim McCluskey, had his judgement called into question by McCoist, who said, “The meeting was chaired by a former referee and I have to say his decision making hasn’t improved any since he stopped refereeing.”
This is a new tone from the Rangers manager, who never spoke in these terms about the SFA before they decided to investigate Rangers owner Craig Whyte’s suitability as a fit and proper person to be involved in the game. Despite yesterday’s punishment, Rangers remain Scotland’s most influential club by the length of the Queen’s highway. Sabre rattling from Ibrox cannot be dismissed by the Association, who, I am led to believe, will find their investigation into Whyte thwarted.
McCoist escaped SFA punishment for his inflammatory comments to Neil Lennon at Celtic Park in March. It remains to be seen if this new outburst establishes a new method of inappropriate behaviour without consequence. Shauny Aluko will surely not thank his manager for the “cheat and a liar” association. Words like those tend to follow a player.

What are they singing?
Huns singing about ‘fenian barstewards’
Ye missed out ‘unrepentant’ ya scum bags.
I see some of the rangers subs. were using those big bath towels with the rangers crest on them to keep warm in the dugouts. They better not get any marks on them. They’ll be getting repacked and be back in the rangers store by 4pm tonight.
40/60 possession in favour of currants –

There’s a commendable aspiration in wanting Paddy to play every week. I think many of us would dearly like the player to justify UOG’s faith, and my own hope. Sadly I just don’t see it happening… I think I’m at a stage with Paddy that I’d like to see him playing regularly somewhere where he’ll be appreciated. He’s great to watch, and even if his overall effectiveness is debatable, he really should be showing up on the highlights reels most weeks.
Anyway, interesting thoughts on the the full backs. It’s not a new thought, by any means, but full backs really are the most under-appreciated players in football. A full back is always the free man, rarely marked, and a good one is the out-ball for almost everyone on the team. A couple of good full backs will cover a multitude of sins.
I should say that I don’t rate Cha, for he is the exemplar of a headless chicken, although his effort and attitude are commendable. However, a very pleasing aspect of Lennon’s time has been his desire to recruit full backs of some quality. Izzy and Matthews are about as good as we could hope for under the circumstances, and we have able back up.
Obviously we’ve moved on from the hysteria and calls for Lennon to go, but, it’s always worth taking time to remember the really positive markers in our manager. I mean, those things that prove that despite the vagaries of form and fitness, his strategy is sound and he knows what we need.
Hate predicting outcomes of Celtic games… it can only lead to disappointment in one way or other. That said I think today will be a difficult game… And, that said, I do now believe we will win this league, handsomely.
ohits
ssshhhh
he is a fellow Tyre bhoy…

25 mins gone no shots on target from either team .
Davis dives , shock horror.
30 mins gone still no shot on target either side.
Hunbelievable, Davis dives in the mid field and no penalty
this would get football banned.
descending into a bit of scrappy brawl now, that football must be severely battered and bruised !!
Ratners too ponderous for Burleys liking
Hibs offer nothing up front, as their league position suggests.
But both commentators begin to be puzzled by Ragers lack of progress
Hibs are very poor
Both teams are rank
McCulloch dive free kick
Cracking shot of young Hibs supporter sleeping on his old mans knee , then again this would be a cure for Insomnia.
Watching the dire stuff from Easter Road.
How good are the hun going to be when they lose 3-4 of their Stars ??????
Burley provides perfect example of the power of suggestion.
Edu backs into CH who clears the ball, Edu goes down and Burley can see a claim for Edu….. Eh
When Go Ian gets injured, and he will, Rangers will totally collapse this season.
“Hibs this season have been garbage and not very good” Burley
Burley cracks, and now shows clear signs of paranoia.
Bartley booked, for shocking challenged.
Bartely booked, almost 40 minutes gone still no shot on target
Bartley now booked .
dire ..but that suits how currants play
one big punt up the park ..one dodgy fk …
bartley booked for foul on o’connor..should cool his jets
Bartley’s a tad of a dirty player, even for an orc. Later than a Scotrail express.

Moisty’s losing it, pmsl
Whittakiker assaults Osbourne no booking
