Call me what you will, but I'd love to see the Ayrshire badenage continued in the top flight. Sadly, it seems, only one team is ever likely to be back there.

Bread and butter for a front man. We have left backs and right backs putting in decent balls now. Admittedly it's all happening the the 2nd half of games, but that's a different issue.

Why are you repeating what I just said?

Also calling Miller "shite" is just nonsense. At times he lacked the composure and technique required, that's true, but he also burst a gut in a Scotland shirt every game. And there were some great moments: "That's the value of quality"

I don't think that's entirely true. Seems to me he had a clue enough to see a fast cross coming into the box and made contact with it. Getting the touch is more important than the defender getting there first.

Besides all of the above, it's also been called a dirge for good reason. It's too slow, and the acoustics in the stadium don't work. The singer and the crowd have to be more in synch. It often isn't, and ends up like calling relatives in Oz circa 1980.

And as a person.

McTominay will play as one of the back 3. Everyone, including the manager, knows that Gilmour now starts, with McGinn and McGregor.

Nisbet is being weened.

That's his gigantic doctor. Only a titan can assist a fellow titan.

Willibald Ruttensteiner? Nope. No results from all the various search engines. ?

No. He plays. Got used to the idea that I wished he would f**k off for good, but the guy has turned it around in great style. Same shape as Us v Moldova. Expecting some calms words about finishing chances this time. It's coming together now. 0-3 Scotland.

All history now anyways. Good to see Sir Alex get his cap last night, and his glee at the end was a picture.

Fair do's. Would you have Souness before Dalgish is nonsense.
