Allow me to set the scene. It’s midnight Monday and a media throng are assembled in the Theatre Of Shame press room awaiting the unveiling of Celtic’s new “superstar” signing. The room has a front door and a back door – the hacks are sat facing the stage as a slitty pair of eyes appear at the rear-entrance. No, it wasn’t James Torbett, it was Peter Lawwell. With a smug expression on his face, he enters and sits down.
But who’s that hovering in the background, looking lost and refusing to enter the room? Why it’s Celtic manager Tony Mowbray. He hangs back, loiters beyond the door and takes no part in proceedings. In a carefully orchestrated piece of nonsense, Robbie “The Messiah” Keane and his entourage then enter through the front door. What happened next was the most cringe-worthy display of narcissism ever witnessed at a Scottish media gathering. |

Well here we are more than half way through another season, but with the World Cup due in June/July it will be as short a time as possible without football this year. Once again it is time to compare the ‘us’ v ‘them’ away support, with the exception of Hamilton whom they have already played twice at New Douglas Park. Celtic’s re arranged game at Rugby Park saw the completion of fixtures where both teams have visited all away grounds at least once. All figures from The Sun / News of the World. |

Once again the transfer window has slammed shut with little activity on the Rangers front, Pedro Mendes has been the only high profile player to leave but all things considered I’m happy with our lot. Let’s not kid ourselves on; we would have preferred to strengthen certain areas but the fact remains we retained the key components which have led us to a 10 point championship lead although the bheasts have a game in hand tonight. |

That the increasingly deranged Tony Mowbray is rapidly losing any allies he had in Scottish media circles is beyond doubt, and it would seem even the “Celtic-Minded” amongst the 4th Estate are turning on him with venom. Let’s start with the Scott Brown debacle. It was true. All true. Unless Scott Brown told Daily Record journalist Keith Jackson a lie. You may recall Celtic's veiled threat to “seek legal advice”. You will also have noticed that it all seemed to go quiet on that front shortly after. The reason? The Celtic hierarchy had made the schoolboy error of not doing their homework. You can’t take the Daily Record to court when they have Brown’s words all on tape, can you Mr. Lawwell? |

As the SPL Season unfolds before our eyes, the Rangers side finds itself today at a cross roads. The club itself remains in financial flux, but the team’s festive run has ensured that the club site proudly at the top of the SPL, but an injury crisis now threatens to derail our title bid. The loss of Kris Boyd is an enormous one which cannot be overstated. The much maligned Boyd was scoring for fun before his enforced lay off, and his partnership with Kenny Miller has blossomed in to one that has improved Miller beyond all recognition from the hard working but misfiring striker that had many bears tearing their hair out last season. |
