He was still their manager when we appointed him - the SFA even paid them compensation. Maybe it was Derby then, one of the clubs he managed he left very suddenly in the sumemer. That was the reason why. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players refused to confirm this as true. Your story from your "source" said he was found pished in another clubs boardroom on a match day. And he walked into the Scotland job right after this.

But Leigh Griffiths, hes still a quality player. Why in the name of f**k can he not get himself fit enough to play more than 10/15 mins? I've heard some rumours from rangers supporting pals that id take with a line of salt. But there nothing more than just rumours. What's the actual story? Does anyone know? Can you elaborate on these rumours? Read my post again, see if you can figure it out yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need to be subtle, not like Griffiths will have his lawyers dishing out libel claims to Pie and Bovril. Rangers fans will tell you Griffiths is a wee bam cokehead and thus was removed from football and put through rehab. Celtic fans will tell you he's been struggling with depression and thus was given time to get his head right. The truth may well be a mix of both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof! Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 On 19/12/2020 at 21:01, ewan14 said: The Easter Road draw so no goals for either Nisbet or Shankland. I am hoping Nisbet is not coming down with our current malaise of not taking our chances. Still reckoned by some supporters to be a really good all round forward. Shankland thought to be a penalty box striker not getting any service at the moment He’s playing a bit deeper rather than as a number 9, I believe. Nisbet is EPL quality from what I can see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they had already done that who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I mean the standard thing for retired footballers used to be to buy a pub, and even when playing standard after training was bookies and a few pints. Its no wonder they end up with problems, high disposable income, lots of time on their hands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure, fame, adulation, money, time on their hands. Culture of drinking too, right up to Rangers 9 in a row squad.

Binos Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Griff, nisbet, shankland and McNulty scored tonight Turnbull too who must get midfield squad berth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 If Turnbull must get a midfield squad berth, who is dropping out?I see a lot of "X and Y have to be in the squad" but not a lot about who has to not be in there.If all the folk people thought we had to pick were called up then we'd have about a 40 man squad for the Euros. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 To me, Turnbull, McGinn and Armstrong are probably competing for two places in the squad - the starting and backup positions for the role that McGinn plays in the side. I can't see Turnbull doing enough to dispatch those two, but if there are injuries then he's in with a shout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
