Administrator Stan Posted June 15, 2021 Administrator Posted June 15, 2021 Fixtures out for Scottish Football. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57480885 Rangers and Livingston kick off the new season on 31st July. First Glasgow Derby is on 28th August. First Edinburgh Derby is 11th September. First Dundee Derby is 18th September. The first fixtures of 2022 are all 3 derbies on the same day/weekend (2nd Jan)
ScoRoss Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Quote Saturday July 31 Dundee v St Mirren Heart of Midlothian v Celtic (Sky Sports, 8.00pm) Rangers v Livingston (Sky Sports, 1.30pm) Ross County v St Johnstone Sunday August 1 Aberdeen v Dundee United Motherwell v Hibernian (Sky Sports 4.30pm) Season kicks off this weekend, with three games live on Sky Sports. Still some uncertainty over the numbers allowed at each game / stadium. But will be the first league game in well over a year with spectators for most.
Rab Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Wondering how crowds are going to affect us this season. I'm pretty positive one of the reasons we done well is because all of the idiots weren't there to boo the millisecond anything went wrong.

I'm pretty positive one of the reasons we done well is because all of the idiots weren't there to boo the millisecond anything went wrong. Now that Gerrard has won his first title, you'd expect the fans to be more forgiving than before. I'd expect the crowds at Celtic to be pretty hostile towards their own players this season, with Postecoglou taking the brunt of the frustration they were unable to direct at Lennon last year. Also, would be a huge difference with crowds if they make the Champions League group stages. Sunday afternoon crowds just aren't up for a run of the mill game as Saturdays, and I can imagine that can lead to the loudest voices being the ones being frustrated. But overall. I expect atmosphere at most grounds to be very good for the first couple of months of the season. And then die back down in October/November when the routine of going to football is well and truly back...
ScoRoss Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGang/status/1420414093752561666?s=19 New long term US television deal for the SPFL. After four different deals in as many years, at least anyone wanting to watch will have some stability.

Administrator Stan Posted July 31, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 31, 2021 Only took 8 minutes for Rangers to continue their title defence. Hagi scoring. 1-0.
Rab Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Rangers game finished 3-0. Rather slow game after the goal. Roofe coming on helped us get back into our groove with his movement.
ScoRoss Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Newly promoted Hearts beating Celtic after less than 10 minutes. Horrific defending all round.

I gathered that, our son is a jambo man and he is watching it in the back room with his son and yelled out "YEEEESSSSS"
ScoRoss Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Desperate times for Celtic when their new centre back, Starfelt, has trained once and is thrown straight in. Out-muscled twice in a few seconds. Not the greatest start to his Celtic career.
ScoRoss Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Can't say I was expected Ralston to be dribbling past defenders and scoring an excellent goal. Has really quietened the crowd down now.
ScoRoss Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 A late John Soutar goal and two saves from Craig Gordon, gives Hearts a win on their return to the Premiership.
Rab Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Celtic have now lost more games this season than we did all of last season.
Administrator Stan Posted August 7, 2021 Author Administrator Posted August 7, 2021 Rangers have now lost the same amount of league games as Celtic this season
Inverted Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 Battering Dundee at home doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of the title race but I think most fans are becoming quite aware that Postecoglou is a capable manager - it is clear how he is trying to get the team playing, and even the biggest sceptics can't deny the improvement in Christie and Ralston in such a short space of time. If the team falls short this season, it will be for much bigger reasons than the manager. As an individual, I think he has earned time to be judged properly.
Administrator Stan Posted August 22, 2021 Author Administrator Posted August 22, 2021 Jimmy Bullard-esque
ScoRoss Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Some big games this weekend. Dundee United, who after the first game against Aberdeen, have been pretty good in their start to the season, against Hearts, who have had a good start to the season themselves. And then some midtable game on Sunday lunchtime...
Danny Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Surprised at how erratic the passing out from the back is, obviously it's the first Old Firm game in front of a packed out crowd in a while. But both teams have players capable of doing it a lot smoother.
Danny Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Just forgot Joe Hart is in goal for Celtic and that explains that
Rab Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Happiest for big McCrorie. 1st and 2nd choice goalkeeper unavailable because of Corona and he steps up.
