We must hold some sort of record for conceding late goals at Parkhead.

The signing of Djoum just sums up this season so far. Crying out for a defensive anchor, the club seem to recognise that and manage to bring in someone who isn't that kind of player, isn't fit and looks too old anyway.
A series of cock ups on and off the field.

For the sheer naked shamelessness, further irreparable damage to the tories and support for the indy movement, we should all be backing Boris.

Farcical stuff although extremely pleasing to see Braverman emptied so soon.

Bit of a shocker of a performance with Kilmarnock not much better. A Jack Ross hangover.

It is astonishing that an uncontested energy policy was seemingly fine until a load of borrowing was going to be made to pay for tax cuts, yet it is no longer fine once the majority of those tax cuts have been reversed and a whole load of cuts, even in addition to the energy package being scaled back, are now required.
Higher cost of borrowing (well done Kwasi!) excepted, what else changed?
Confidence. Effectively, the UK now has less financial leeway than before the mini-budget as the markets have no confidence in those in charge. Reversing the policies to the status quo is not enough.
A general election would be the best way to resolve this or, at the very least, the installation of a market friendly PM such as Sunak. Rejoining the single market would also be a great help.

There's no way Truss can survive this. Hunt has just filed her entire economic policy in the bin (where it belonged) and she will be left defending measures the same as she was attacking Labour about last week.
I also can't see how the damage to the Tory party in general can be anything other than irreparable. Hunt's new approach seems to be a return to some form of Osbournomics and austerity-lite, warning of real term cuts to public spending. Even if some of the public forget about the shambles of the last month, they aren't going to enjoy the next 12-18 months.

Further statement alert.
Whilst it's good that it would appear no racist abuse was shouted by either support at anyone, surely a massive points deduction is the only way to deal with the relentless fat shaming of Tony Watt.
Remember Hibs, Be Kind.

Great result. Rode our luck but, whilst we still look a bit fragile, that's a massive improvement in work rate and spirit.

Bit of a sore one that for the dons.
Jack Ross may be prepared to commute up to Aberdeen.

The Championship is where its at really.

And so it begins. Another terrible goal to lose.

74-0 to Rangers amid a festival of forelock tugging, flag shagging and general abnormal behaviour from the home support.
I cant wait.

On a plane to Amsterdam. Got there, dropped the bags off at the hotel and straight out with my girlfriend at the time.
Didn't realise it had happened until the following day.

The Jack Ross destruction derby. Two clubs still reeling from the (mis)management of Mr Ross, although Hibs have to be firm favourites.
2-0 Hibs, our defence call it a good day and Liam Fox is appointed as manager after a far reaching recruitment process showed him to be by far and away the best candidate evident by the improvement on the park.

**I know CL wasn't sacked but you get the idea
I much prefer the idea of Big Dunc / Barry Robson / Jon Daly with Fox staying on.
I have no issue with assistants taking over having been part of a successful regime such as Houston. Suppose Fox is in a bit of a grey area.

I am always against giving assistants the role after a manager has been sacked. It never works as they were part of the failed regime. I suppose the difference with Fox is that he wasn't Ross's assistant in that he was here last season under Courts when, relatively speaking, results and performances were much better.
Would still prefer the box office appointment of big Dunc or someone else such as Robson or Daly coming in but I expect Fox would be staying on as assistant in those circumstances.

Ferguson gives me the impression that he's something of a manchild.
This is off the mark. Ferguson is a lot more intelligent than given credit for. As people have said, it's his lack of experience that is the big red flag.
I hadn't realised he has already left Everton looking for a management post so it maybe isn't as outlandish as I first thought. Ferguson also looked after his money very well so perhaps salary may not be his main concern.

Big Dunc would be the box office appointment just to see him screaming at players on the touchline. You would also imagine it would take a bold sort to attempt to undermine him.
However, there's absolutely nothing to suggest he would be successful and he has little to no affinity to United (or indeed Scottish football in general). There's no chance of him coming back up north.

Bit sad to see Clark go. He isnt good enough to be a top 6 striker but I don't think he's a player that could ever be accused of not trying. Popped up with some important goals.

Do you really think they'll get an upgrade on Ross, at least on paper?
Given the results, it would be pretty hard to get a downgrade.

Give us one out of Barry Robson, Jon Daly or Michael O'Neill.

Would take O'Neill but I was also happy with Ross so what do I know.

Entirely predictable when you saw that midfield.
Smith has been poor all season yet gets shunted into the middle. Harkes doesn't offer anything defensively whilst Levitt is about 4 stone soaking wet. Meanwhile, the only midfielder who has put in a tackle in the defensive half all season has sat on the bench.
Coupled with individual errors and Celtics ruthlessness we could quite easily concede 7 again. At least its not the keeper chucking them in yet.

A pleasant surprise. As has been said, Djoum just doesn't offer anything and would much rather see Sibbald in beside Levitt.
