I’ve not seen enough of Kolo Toure or Shane Duffy to have a view on their appropriateness for Celtic but I’m very pleased that despite the headcount of central defenders, Brendan Rodgers appears to be aware that he’s only got one he can rely on. We cannot afford to have another season of set-piece trauma in Europe.
Aston Villa’s Scott Sinclair has the makings of a more profound signing for Brendan, especially if he arrives for anything close to Villa’s asking price. Ronny Deila foundered in a sea of wide midfielders who were unable to command a starting place for any duration. We are the club where wide players come to damage their career prospects. Most of those who have ‘walked through Parkhead gates’ in this time had done so on a sale-or-return basis; at circa £6m Scott Sinclair would need to be right.
A friend once asked why the Argentinians adore Diego Maradona but appear reluctant to appreciate Lionel Messi. Diego single-handedly delivered the World Cup in 1986 and retired from international football having given everything to his country as a 33-year-old. Leo bowed out with a couple of runners-up medals two days after his 29th birthday. He could easily compete in another two World Cups, if he had the appetite.
That’s not to judge Leo; maybe he identifies with the people he chose, not with a nation. Many of us do.

Revenge for the Cod War
england certainly a boxful of haddies.
England’s six major tournament knockout wins since 1966
3-0 v Paraguay, 1986 World Cup,
1-0 v Belgium AET, 1990 World Cup,
3-2 v Cameroon AET, 1990 World Cup
0-0 v Spain (4-2 on pens), 1996 Euros
3-0 v Denmark, 2002 World Cup
1-0 v Ecuador, 2006 World Cup
Six wins in 50 years. I blame the over 65s
Joe Hart = jelly wrists
Englanders just realising the best players in their league are “economic migrants”

After you called Shearer a dick you should have probably stopped typing!
Lars Lagerbak. Remember he was linked with the Scotland job and also I’m sure our job.
The SFA should be booking flights to Iceland after this tournament.

Just sad that in all our glory years we didn’t get past the first round.
A statistic now: of all the “home nations” which one has never got past the first round in a world or Euro finals?
clunks “Shearer Might Be A Dick”
Really? He is a dick. However, it was quite refreshing to see how accurately he pointed out that England are shite and their EPL is utterly reliant of foreign talent. The jakey Lineaker then says, Hmmm, there might be some truth in that.
Excellent performances today from both Iceland and Italy.
Neither will get past Joe Ledley’s beard in the next round.

Scotland fans aren’t bothered about stuff like that. So long as England get beat, they’re happy.
Which might be part of the reason Scotland are so pish.
