LET'S see - Celtic are in the process of buying-in another, apparently gifted, young foreign striker, whom they will presumably hope to sell-on to a richer, but surely no greater EPL team; they may or may not be in the process of doing such a sell-on deal with the big Keen-yin.
Motherwell have managed to hold on to Stuart McCall as manager, the other SPL teams are quietly shopping in the football equivalent of Poundstretcher and Iceland - most-notably Kilmarnock, who need a new management team, like yesterday.
Hearts are, if not yet dead, in Intensive Care and, the specialist is struggling to put on his brave but concerned face.
We've got a new league set-up being formulated, although, the big junior clubs, the real powerhouses below full-time football don't want to know about it - but, what's the thing which is generating the most on-line activity among the football public during this close season?
Of course it's Rangers. Be they Celtic family members - keen to parrot the latest must-be-learned addition to the catechsim: "Rangers are deid, Sevco are not Rangers", or triumphalist CF members, keen to remind the opposition: "Youse is deid, an yer new incarnation are pish - these days: WE are the People"; or be they Orange supremacists - determined to keep Timmy in his place, by reminding him of their still-living, still-fighting, put-upon non-surrendering club's fight-back against the ranks of the jealous who so cruelly and unjustly cast the club into outer darkness; that, for all the injustices done to them: still, WE ARRA PEEPUL, supporting the Queen's XI, now and for ever.
If Rangers truly had gone-under, they'd have had to have been invented, Scotland needs something to argue about and for the foreseeable future, in football, that will be Rangers.
It is interesting that a club which didn't exactly set the heather on fire in winning the final season of SFL3, which is clearly being mis-managed, by over-paying an over-staffed, over-hyped staff, including a manager who somehow doesn't seem up to the job, should be attracting so-much money from investors from outwith Scotland.
The ordinary Rangers supporter, unlike his Celtic counterpart, doesn't seem keen to put his money in his pocket and invest. But, lots of noveau-riche city boys from London apparently see Rangers as a good investment - or, might that be a good tax loss?
Do they know something we don't know; or will they, as I feel they might - get badly burned.
