Glasgow is football's capital (I'm sure no one will dispute this) so, for footballing matters, non-Glasgow clubs are provincial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow being Scotland's football capital is a far more arguable point than Edinburgh being an actual capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clubs outside of Glasgow have been called 'provincial' goes back even longer than me (if you can believe that). Also, how can you argue against Glasgow being Scotland's football capital?

The less said about how the Scottish media refers to the rest of Scottish football outside of you and your best mates, the better. The definition of provincial is clear. The existence of a 'football capital' within a country is a lot less clear. Should a thing exist it would probably be Glasgow, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a city which is home to a sport's governing bodies, houses the national stadium and whose teams have, about, double the fanbase of all the other clubs put together then it's clear who are the metropolitan elite and who are the provincial cousins. Anyway, such a shame tonight's match won't be broadcast live - I'm looking forward to it. How's your confidence level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's your confidence level? Nothing to fear but Rangers favourites with home advantage. Confident we'll defend well (kiss of death) but the outcome will depend on our use of the ball when we get it, particularly in the final third. If we get our noses in front I would be quietly confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owsley Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 That's the high winds started. Should all matches not have been called off this morning, given the horrendous forecast for rush hour of 60-70mph winds? Could be like Gayfield on a bad day.

Pennies for big teams and less than they’ll make off televising the game. It’s fucking shite really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
