Celtic Up - Rangers Down: Time We Balanced The See-Saw

IT SEEMS to me that, with the Lawless man's promotion to the full SFA Board, Celtic's take-over of Scottish football is nearly complete. Mind you, the Celtic Family will still be playing the victim card and claiming they are being conspired against, even when Scotland's new strip is unveiled as green and white hoops!!
Be careful, however, once they sort out all the in-fighting and get back to the top-flight - which given the fact the club is in thrall to gangsters and spivs these days isn't certain - expect Rangers to seek and gain revenge, which will not, in the long-term, help Scottish football.
The way Celtic are pandering to the Green Brigade and Rangers are in thrall to Ra Peepul these days, is not a good thing. How I long for a new Third Force to rise and beat the pair of them.

NO COMPLAINTS from this quarter on Gavin Gunning of Dundee United getting a citing letter from "Cousin Vinnie" after his coming together with Virgil Van Dijk. I think he definitely has a case to answer.

However, I reckon the Celtic player should have had a wee missive from Cousin Vinnie as well. I have long felt the football authorities are too-quick to cite or penalise the retaliator, while allowing the perpertrator of the nasty stuff to escape without possible punishment.

It seemed to me, and I have only seen the incident in real time, that both players should be up before the beaks.

I LIKE the look of Scotland squad new boy Ikechi Anya - what aninspiring story his is: son of a Nigerian father and a Romanian mother, brought-up in Chateau Du Lait and now on the verge of his first cap.

Gaun yersel son, and, awra best.

WHAT a great boost for Hamilton Accies, with their share of the sell-on fee of £13 million which Wigan picked up at the close of the transfer window by selling James McCarthy to Everton.

James came through a very entertaining young Accies team, which was a joy to watch. Sadly, the club lost their bottle and have gone away from a youth development programme which, at one time, made them a model for the rest of Scottish football.

Maybe, with the McCarthy money, they can reinstate that programme - we certainly need to see our clubs bringing through more young Scots, if we are ever to get back to where we think we belong internationally.
