You could slip into a coma, wake up a minute after the last match of the SPL season, and still you'd know who won the league. That's not sport. It isnae going to happen and it has been discussed to death for decades. Start another topic about it by all means, or go and seek out the discussion elsewhere (believe me, you'll no be short of options), but it isn't really relevant to Scottish players in action season 2019/20. So kindly get it tae fuck from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly though, in researching this I found the current season coefficient rankings and Scotland is 4th! https://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/seasoncountry/#/yr/2020 Yea all Celtic and Rangers home and away wins in the early prelim rounds add up I guess if they keep it up the Spl teams might get an extra weeks holiday next season.

Apology accepted. A decent weekend for the likely squad members (aside from Hickey, good experience for him though), although I was worried to see Porteous miss the Hibs game through injury. Might rule him out of either senior or Under 21 squad. The hope now is for the celtic players and Ryan Jack to come through their midweek European games unscathed; even better if Mcgregor, Christie, Forrest and Jack have good games. They will be playing against superior opposition than they are set to face in Cyprus and against Kazakhstan. And if we're really good and promise to eat our tea, maybe Griffiths will get onto the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Wiki: Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub (bush) native to East Asia.[3] After water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world.[4] There are many different types of tea; some, like Darjeeling and Chinese greens, have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour,[5] while others have vastly different profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral or grassy notes.

Aye, making the league more competitive, having more than 2 teams able to win it, making games more meaningful and largely removing bigotry has no appeal whatsoever.

SWMM82 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Hornby is not a natural poacher, but he is a better overall footballer than the other forwards mentioned and he carries a goal threat. A lot of his good work is done outside the box, holding the ball up, bringing teammates into play, and he’s good with the ball at his feet as well as in the air. Mebude for the u19s isn’t a natural striker either. That position is a problem area, and not just for Scotland. Most clubs only play one up front now which instantly reduces the pool of strikers we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazmidd Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 https://celtsarehere.com/19-year-old-celtic-starlet-hailed-as-a-revelation-down-south/ Jack Aitchison, remember him, scored on his debut at 16 for Celtic, still only 19 starting to put in some terrific performances on loan in League 2. Remember League 2 down south is where Calum McGregor learnt his trade, maybe Jack Aitchison could yet be the striker we are looking for in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a few assists as well, would be good to see him play at a higher level for his next loan or to be given a chance at Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
