I wonder if we will see two rival Scottish Premier Leagues next season? We could see a SPL consistent with the threats made to SFL clubs last week, let’s call it SPL Loyal, with Hibs, KIlmarnock and a few others. They would sit atop a feeder league containing whoever they could attract from the SFL and Sevco, who due to fan power would be excluded from the top division, no matter how few teams that division had.
Meanwhile a rival SPL could setup, let’s call it SPL Solvent, with Celtic, those from the Gang of 10 who realise they are better-off participating in a league which is likely to survive until next May, along with the teams who last season finished near the top Scottish Football league.
SPL Solvent would make no threats to exclude SFL clubs who were due promotion on merit, and would therefore attract the balance of SFL clubs; which is likely to be the overwhelming majority. This league would contain the only club with the ability to underwrite the commitments needed to bring broadcasters and commercial partners on-board. It would also be free of, moral and ethical questions, where clubs are united with their fans on what it means to organise sporting events.
It’s not the worst idea floated in recent weeks.

Tiny Tim love those stories and I remember the wembley game. Still think we should remember the best days of Paul mcstay, he also played some great fitba in some great teams.
My favourite celt remains Tommy, simply loved him. Favourite player? Prob has to be Henrik, who also stuck with us when he could surely have earned more elsewhere.

Im 51 but have sooooo many memories of seeing him as a boy, memories to last a lifetime so they must be special just seeing hin turning and standing arms aloft waiting on jinky to congratulate him on scoring AGAIN.
Even now when I think of Bobby the next person to jump into my mind is Jinky then Tommy G then Big Billy blah blah blah I love being a celtic Fan
we are blessed.

That was great night at the Armadillo , met Traynor at the door and told him to behave as he should among proper football fans. He looked at me with barely concealed contempt.
*Top Fives*
1. Henrik Larsson
2.Jimmy Johnstone
3. Bobby Murdoch
4. Bobby Lennox
5. Mo Bangura
Best ever / favourite player by decade.
1960’s – jinky
1970’s – king Jenny
1980’s – tommy burns
1990’s – Pierre
2000’s – Henrik.
Overall – Henrik but I personally witnessed more of Henrik than jinky which may influence my thinking.
Hail! Hail!

well done , I was just being nosy as you hoped to better your age. I would too if I had been born in 1934. gave up 10k`s 3 years ago as the knees packed in.
I remember that game at Wembley.
Scotland won 5-4 and Paul scored twice, I think.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.

I played amateur football then.
At the start of season 66/67 I ruptured an achiles tendon and didn’t play for a year.
I never missed a home game and witnessed many away games too.
I am indeed blessed and the first time we have beer together I will tell you some tales.
Canny wait!!

Behind Cascarino, Stuart slater, martin heyes, juninho and Ian wright?
Ven en la España
Gian Luca Vialli “Tonight, I hope the best team doesn’t win”
Here we go…..
We all know Luigi Macari wasnt exactly a talent spotter.
I do recall he signed 2 x british soldiers – I think they may have been stationed out in Canada or somewhere.
One was called Gary Holt, who went on to play for Kilmarnock and the other totally escapes me.
Can anyone remember who it was and if they wore the hoops in the 1st team??

Thanks for info earlier, e-mailed and sent message to BN.
Was in Superstore earlier with my Bros-in-Law and his good lady, visiting from Oz, he preordered away top withoutsponsor, collectsWednesday.

Great day with Mrs LB and our visitors.
Quiet night to end the day watching game and a few beers.
Enjoy everybody.

…de ye no mean the sixth?
Has anyone got the transcription to John Brown’s body of oration on the steps of Ibrox stadium? Surely like Jimmy Reid’s speech to Glasgow Uni on Alienation in 1972 or the Gettysburg address it will go down in annals of speechifying.
“Ask not what Rangers can do for Scottish football, but what Scottish football will do for the Gers”
‘Football of ra peeple, by ra peeple, for ra peeple, shall not perish from the earth.”
Surely John brown supplied the new name for Sevco
“Youse buy the season tickets, youse buy the programmes, youse buy the pies. youse are the f***ing Rangers”
There it is “The F***ing Rangers”

Me too!
It will happen!

Right, let’s get on with it.
Spain would be the first team to win 3 majors in a row. Apparently that would make them the best team ever.
Right enough, how often have Brazil won the Euros?
