*** Other Scottish football match thread, for anyone who gives a ****

[Guest ToqueJambo]

Hibs really are shit. Soft as anything. Ryan Porteous 🤣 No shots on target. Even Levein and Stendel's teams managed at least one.

But Ryan Porteous tries to play a silly pass and that goal has killed the game.

To my knowledge Kent has expressed absolutely zero desire to leave. Or at least not to Leeds. And why would he? He's a Gerrard fanboy, he wouldn't be there at all if not for Gerrard being there

 And he's guaranteed an annual crack at Euro football while earning at least 20K a week. A sum I'm sure he can manage perfectly well on.

He's young and can wait for a move to the even bigger money in the EPL and a higher profile club than Leeds. I see no way he's so cynical and unprofessional as to stop playing.

This is his real breakout season and I see him becoming a player of the year candidate at both Rangers and in Scotland overall. He torment's Celtic too. They're terrified of him.

Well I’ve heard that he is interested in Leeds and Leeds are interested in him. We can DM if you wanna know how I know. 60k vs 20k a week, am sure he’ll not be bothered about the Europa League. He has certainly started the season well but I watched a Euro game last season with an agent of a rangers player and he said “you won’t see anything of note out Kent till he either has 6 months left on his deal or he has the chance to move”. This is the first transfer window since that statement. 
 

Look Rangers have looked great but they Have also looked average and when they have an opportunity to put real pressure on celtic they often fall short. Gerrard is a myth and I can’t see them winning anything with him in the dugout.

You may be right, I don't know but let's leave the Kent situation till the window closes. You think he will be gone I think there's little chance of that. He's too key for them and he's contracted till 2023. They have no need to cash in on him now. And we will also see who is right about his form.

As for Gerrard I'm no expert on football management. But he has guided them into two consecutive Europa league runs and most recently all the way to the last 16. Do you realise how much money that has made them? That's an estimated £18 million last campaign alone. He's the biggest money spinner they have had in years.

Plus in the last handful or so encounters they have largely outplayed Celtic. I will hazard a guess that he knows something about football. But again, what do I know.

While I think the entire competition is a sham whether or not Hearts are in it, I sincerely hope you are bitterly disappointed.  I want Celtic to get 30 in a row just to emphasise what a joke it is.

 

Really looking forward to the crisis talks though.  They could use that to ask what is needed to make the league competitive.  They won't though.  4 sectarian games a season is all they care about.

I don’t think he’ll be gone sorry, my point is he’s playing to try get a move. When the window shuts I reckon he’ll be back to the Kent we saw end of last season. Rangers will want to much money for Kent which is why I don’t think he’ll leave this window but if the money being touted is true then he’ll be pushing his agent to test rangers resolve. £10/£15million for Kent works out about 50/60/70k a week and that’s money he won’t miss out on. 
 

Europa league means nothing to Rangers other than the money in the bank. Believe me, no Rangers fan will care about Europe if Celtic win 10. He’s finished double digits behind celtic two seasons in a row and by the time the first round of fixtures ends he could be 5 points behind. He’s not won any trophies and has only made one final. He’s miles off it. Michael Beale is the brains behind the operation, Gerrard is the poster boy. Any other Rangers manager with his record would’ve been sacked ages ago.

I watched the Celtic vs vermin game this afternoon. Nisbett was non existent. I've seen him a few times this season and putting my bias aside I honestly question what others see in the lad. He's massively overrated. Taking away his hat trick against Livingston he's been garbage. His goal against St mirren was jammy. The ball literally bounces off him and in. Actually they were incredibly lucky to get a win that day - again bias aside. The vermin have started the season well but they haven't been playing well. Similar to the sheep in that they have been grinding results out. My prediction: The Sheep will finish third and by a 9 point gap.

 

Shankland like wise just appears to be overhyped. Shanklands goal yesterday was a tap in after some great wing play yet he takes all the credit and receives the man of the match award for the goal.

 

 

[SectionFJambo]

When it comes to goal scorers the gap between SPL and Championship always seems to kick in, for Nisbet and Shankland there has been plenty before them who just can't step up and get the goals.

There is and never has been a team called Glasgow Rangers. 

If they win it they win it, makes no difference to me. Anyway, Police Scotland didn't allow Rangers to win 10 titles in a row, apparently, so I'm told, so I expect they'll probably do the same with Celtic.  This is me, to my mate when he told me, this.

Any, Feck Rangers and Celtic, but especially

The money is the major factor for every Scottish team, does anyone doubt the club would be exhilarated if Hearts were to secure a Europe league group stage appearance? But there will be nothing like as much money in it for either of the OF as there was last season.

More than half of their total earnings came from gate money and match day program sales, food sales, and so on. Rangers made about £6 million on the gates for the 3 home group matches alone. And they had 4 qualifying rounds and 2 knockout rounds to add to that. All sellouts. That's major money.

But another factor is putting their players on a stage that increases their value. Think Rangers could be asking 20 million for Morelos if he hadn't been the highest scorer in the Europa league? I think not.

Or, you can go all the way, take the glory, and we will give you £1 million. What would they choose? Money or glory? What would Budge choose?

Shankland and Nisbet offer very little outside the box. 

They are also not athletic types either,  but Shankland in particular is a good poacher it's all about deciding to play him and sacrificing the running and physicality of another v chances of him pinching a goal but contributing little over the 90.

 

Nisbet I haven't actually seen play.

Yeah off the park the Europa League has basically helped them stay above water and of course we’d be buzzing about it. No arguments from me about that. 
 

However, in Glasgow, 2nd means last and they’ve finished last in Glasgow 2 seasons in a row with no trophies in the cabinet but millions spent on players. Gerrard is getting away with it cause he’s a poster boy. No Rangers fan will be celebrating reaching the last 16 and a healthy balance sheet whilst Celtic win 10, not a single one. Winning trophies and stopping 10 is all that matters to Rangers and they haven’t got close.

For Hearts the honor is more important. Money is always the talking point. I never think, oh yes European football think of the money we will make. Honor comes first. Your example is just a wee bit silly, offering £50M to go out in the qualifier. I understand what you are saying we are Fans though. Cannot give the answer as a CEO.

Or at least more time with the 5 players in squad from Motherwell, Hibs, Livingston and Dundee United.

How can there not be many Hibs players in the Scotland squad??? I keep hearing how good they are, splitting the old firm is the word on the street. Shocking that Clarke is overlooking all these superstars.

Six positive Covid tests for Killie players, rest of team advised to go into isolation. Removes the situation St.Midden had where they had 3 goalkeepers out with Covid and were ordered to play the match with our loaned goalie.

I can understand the reason for the whole team to go into isolation, but it feels a bit like rules for some, rules for others. Why don't they just forfeit the match, 3 points to Motherwell. (probably because neither of the infirm want to be in the same situation when they are due to play each other in a fortnight).
