Tend to agree with Tup that the back 3 of McTominay Gallagher Considine probably deserve the nod for their performances in last round of fixtures but I cannot see McKenna and Tierney not playing. I suspect the back 3 will be McTominay, McKenna and Tierney. For those interested/desperate enough the U21 game v Croatia is on the Scotland YouTube channel with a 3pm kick off on Thursday. The U21 game against Greece is being shown by Premier Sports at 4pm on 17th.

Werder Bremen refusing to release there players as well which effects another member of Serbian squad. England Iceland in danger of being called off due to Iceland having a game in Denmark first and U.K. government having introduced strict quarantine. I think there is a chance international football might get cancelled this month.

Grant Hanley and Ryan Fraser both withdraw from Scotland squad due to injury.

Another two farcical penalties in EPL. Neither were deliberate attempts to play the ball and both were natural positions for defenders running yet VAR decides both are penalties. These decisions and the offside from the Leeds game yesterday are just further evidence VAR needs binned ASAP.

It better be this at a minimum.

All channel, even Fox, are declaring victory for Biden. Trumps melt down is going to be glorious.

Boris will not be a happy man. Biden sees himself as Irish and is on record about wanting to improve relations with EU. UK will not be getting special deal that he thought he would get from Trump now.

Said the last paragraph to one of the Victims I work with and he did not disagree. He thinks it will only take 1 more league defeat for the board to act. Thing is that might be to late to stop Tribute Act winning the league.

2-0 final. Good hard working performance. Bit disappointed we created so little in second half. Other than Hibs penalty shout we were defensively solid. Wright and Hedges covered every blade of grass.

No reserve league due to COVID.

Fell out of that a bit after 2nd without really giving Hibs much in the way of chances. Hopefully Hibs have to go for it now so hopefully pick them off on the counter in the second half.

Right off you pop for a third.

May I suggest 4 or 5 cups a half. Nice finish by Wright and good play by Hedges.

Battle of the losers this one. Both will feel the did not do themselves justice last week so will both should be looking to put in a performance this week. Agree with Tup that Cosgrove does not look ready to be starting games but will Watkins be fit after Browns assault. Cannot go back to Main. Would be tempted to start Devlin in place of Taylor if he is fit. No idea how we replace Hayes. Hope it’s not Greg Leigh. Oot Work TV Flat 2-0 Ferguson and Hedges

Apologies only just got the email. Griffiths and Gordon recalled along with Grant Hanley.

Really? Didn’t think he was that bad. Not much he could do on second goal as cross was almost unplayable. He touches that ball it probably goes in the net.

Thought we played okay today but okay is never going to be good enough for us to beat Celtic. Said before the game that I felt starting Cosgrove was a mistake and think that proved to be the case. Shifted the focus of our attack from going at their back line with pace to going wide to get balls into Cosgrove which played to strengths of their centre backs. Thought we looked better once Cosgrove went off. I assume Edmundson was injured for the haddie Main to get on.

Always up against it without Hayes but getting overrun in the middle today. Great strike by Christie but should not have been given the time. We really need to find a better option than Taylor if we are sticking with 3 at the back. His positional sense and passing are schoolboy level. Would be back in the pub if one was open.

Last nights game was one for ceefax. Brutal game. Neither of the teams impressed. Winner of the cup is whoever wins our tie today.

Final is to be on both BBC and Premier Sport. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3479314/sfa-scottish-cup-six-year-deal-bbc-premier-sport-20m-contract/ Apologise for the source.

Boris is being shown to be the incompetent buffoon that anyone with half a brain knew he was. Scientists told him a month ago he needed yet he again failed act quickly enough.

Barcelona fail to win again drawing 1-1 with 10 man Alaves. That’s 2 points out of the last 12 leaving them 8 points behind Madrid already. Koeman looking like a man who knows his time is up at the end.

Corbyn suspended by the Labour Party following his reaction to the anti-semitism report.

I think Wright has to start. We look a better team with him in it. Not convinced I would start Cosgrove as he will not be fully fit yet. Maybe better coming of bench as impact sub. I would replace him with Watkins in Rico’s team. I also full heartedly support Rico’s Granny at Centre Half instead of Taylor. Sadly some of the missing players from Sunday for Victims FC will be back this week so cannot see them being as bad. If Lennon was a vaguely competent manager the shoplifting serial shagger would start for them but he’s not so hopefully left on the bench until it’s too late. Object paying for Premier Sport but will probably cave in before Sunday. oot out in Park with bairn If I had will power out however....tv still in flat 1-2 Cosgrove with Dons goal.
