Best news of the day? Kris Commons wants to be involved tomorrow against Barcelona. I doubt Kris is anywhere near match fit, so there’s no chance of him starting on Wednesday against Astana, but a 15 minute cameo, when the Astana players’ body clocks are telling them it’s after 2am, would go down a treat.
I’ve always been a bit more ambivalent about Leonel Messi than most. “He’s not hit the levels of Ronaldinho” is my stock comment, and then there’s the dirty little subject. (Tax).
But his media comments ahead of tomorrow’s International Champions Cup game, “I have a Celtic jersey at home. The games against Celtic were special and I want to remember them”, proves there’s substance to the man.
I’ve a Celtic jersey at home too, Leo. A few of us here do.
Former-Rangers former vice-chairman Donald Findlay is to defend Craig Whyte is his forthcoming trial.
Whyte’s urban legend is going to be difficult to shift, but it’s not accurate. We mocked Rangers fans a few years ago, referring to him as “Our Hero” but he never was. He was the bag man for a very dirty job.
How he handled the SFA, Uefa, HMRC and, most crucially, the insolvency court, when he managed to secure the appointment of Duff and Phelps as Rangers administrators was crucial in the continuation of football at Ibrox.
It was Duff and Phelps who gave Newco the right to use the name “Rangers”, after which point Whyte could claim he was passing on “Rangers”. Everyone else mocked this liquidation fantasy at the time. Until liquidation became a reality, that is.
Whyte left Newco relatively safe in the hands of Charles Green, where it would have thrived, if it hadn’t faced a hostile and damaging takeover bid from its first week of life.

Unlucky bigmhan
Alwigh is iPhone for Leigh.
Nice one Efe.
It’s a defenders game this one. How’s about a shout from keeper or other defenders to let Efe know there is no danger.

Damn….cracking slice past Gorgon….by Efe…head up son.2-1 Barca
Gordon seemed to have it covered. Is there no communication?
I swear the ghuy gets away with nothing.
Can it be an accident waiting to happen if it keeps happening?
Low ball from our right across goal.
Efe stretched foot out and it whistled into net.
There was no need to play that but I suspect he had no shout.
Ach efe son ye just trying too hard – cue the sharp knives but where was the shout – maybe he didn’t hear it
Anyway dust yourself down son and get on with the game
Och well, early days.
Cant blame Efe as he had to go for it.
Shows the value of low hard cross.
Really bad stuff from Gordon. Efe and O’Connell..
Nice one Leigh! What a good player for us.
Jeeez Efe
That’s it – I’ve always supported you son
But a nothing cross and he puts it past Gordon
Your taxi is waiting outside the staium tonight …
I really don’t think we will see Effe again now.
Hard to make excuses for that one, and I like the big man a lot.
Not many get a chance to score for Barca
Poor Efe…..unlucky
