Oh Neil Lennon, such a sweet and mild-mannered manager!
The Celtic boss is facing a possible three-match ban after being reported for swearing profusely at Jim Goodwin of St Mirren during their clash last weekend.
After Goodwin made a challenge that Lennon did not like, the manager shouted: “”Well done Jim, you’re a f**king hard man, eh? You f**king fanny. F**king fanny.” read more »
After a poor run in a league in which they should be winning every single game, Rangers had their chance to show off to the watching public that they still had quality within their ranks. There was no Premier League or Championship football, and Sky’s live League One game had been postponed due to the weather. All eyes turned to Ibrox.
Rangers fell up woefully (and almost impressively) short. They limped to a 0-0 result against Stirling, but the scoreline was not the most embarrassing thing. read more »
Oh dear, Rangers striker Francisco Sandaza may not be at Ibrox for much longer, after a rather embarrassing incident was revealed this week.

Celtic have a new sponsor next season, with cider manufacturer Magners taking over the reins.
The immediately evident change with the kit is the splitting of the wide green stripes into smaller stripes, the first time the club have made such a change. read more »
It seems strange that a Scottish side would design their new away shirts on the home shirt of a Turkish team, but that just underlines the effect that Eskisehirspor had on the Saints when they met during their Europa League qualifier last year.
The initiative is due to the request of fan Kevin Heller, who was so impressed by the hospitality, spirit and sportsmanship of the Eskisehirspor players, fans and officials led to him making the suggestion to St Johnstone.
St Johnstone chairman Steve Brown explains the decision:
“Fans and club officials really hit it off over the two games. We were treated like royalty over there and we did our best to show them true Scottish hospitality when they came to Perth.
“Both clubs were making the most of their European experience and when one of our fans, Kevin Heller, wrote to the club suggesting that we could adopt their red and black colours for our away kit for next season we were delighted to go for it.”
All slightly weird (if charming bla bal bla)?
