Is there?

It was good for Hibs to get through the transfer window without losing both of Brown and Thomson, not fussed about Thomson going especially for £2m.

Should be off to Hampden in March after last nights win, and would like to be there for the Scottish Cup Final aswell

Are we allowed to post Secterian comments on this thread? Or is it only the moderators who can do that as they lock threads?

You ask why?

Its clear as day that Strachan prefers to play Zurawski and Van Hesselink up front with Kenny Miller on the bench. On that basis, Strachan has him as 3rd choice (perhaps 4th) at best.

Beattie and Riordan are pretty promising talents.

According to the Daily Record, his agent was asking for silly terms. Unless Maloney was to become the first choice striker and lead the line, its pretty doubtful whether his retainment could be justified.

You mean Shaun Maloney who won the SPL and Celtic Player of the Year trophies whilst playing on the left wing?

What you mean "Never trust a Protestant, that's what I was always taught. "

Light hearted joke squire. Sectarian? Get a grip!

As it happens I was asked to lock it but if we descend that way again it will be locked again yes.

And then 2nd to 11th is pretty tight in the scheme of things. True, only 2 teams have a realistic chance of winning the thing (now which league does that remind me of?) but there's been some great stuff played by Hibs, Hearts, Rangers, Aberdeen and even the likes of St. Mirren and Falkirk so far this season.

But hey, let's all jump on the "SPL is poop" bandwagon

Both Rangers and Celtic would hold their own this season in the Premiership with their squads as of press.

With £30 million extra per year in TV rights, they'd be up in the top six each and every year within two years.

Rangers, next year could play 11 Scots.

Another possible signing from Hibs, Steven Whittaker, at right back alongside Weir, Webster and Stevie Smith. In the midfield Brown, Ferguson, Thomson and McCulloch. And Gow up front with goal machine Kris Boyd alongside.

Rangers might struggle.

Celtic's European adventures have proven that they would easily cope with the Premiership. Put it one way, they are significantly better than City, and City are effectively holding their own in the Premiership.

If Celtic and Rangers had the Premiership money to spend they would eventually become top six every year in this country.
