It would be a low risk move, get him in on essentially a trial, possibly even without paying much in wages and see how he looks at that level. He's clearly got no future at Celtic so might as well train with QOS to see if he can land a deal for next season.

David Templeton, really? Are Hamilton's current wingers that bad?

Aird is more than a Right Winger though, he played as a Right Back for Vancouver in MLS and was very good. He played on the wing for us last night but can play anywhere on the right hand side of the park.

Good news for St. Johnstone fans, he's been very good this year. As for International ambition, who knows maybe Scotland will hire a manager who remembers that they still play football north of the Firth of Forth and give him a look

Meh, Fraser Forster was pretty damn good too

I would like the opinion of Airdrie fans on this one

Sorry, I accidentally reversed them. Is this better? Gordon C. Paterson J. Souttar Hanley Tierney J. McGinn Brown Forrest Armstrong Mackay-Steven Griffiths Here is my overall strongest team Gordon Lustig Sviatchenko Hanley Tierney J. McGinn Brown Forrest Armstrong Sinclair Griffiths

After a year and a bit in my most recent save I'm able to field a pretty strong All Scottish Celtic team, although it's not the strongest team I can field with my players, that team has 8 Scots.

I think that Matthew Lindsay's article is a reminder that maybe Ibrox needs some adult intervention at the boardroom level to stabilize the ship. Celtic needed the tough love of Fergus McCann in the 90's to fix the problems left behind by the old board while Hearts needed Ann Budge to clean up the Romanov mess. Another shyster with purported deep pockets will not fix the problem

I find it fascinating that in the UK they tend to ask former stars to be pundits when a lot of these guys are chowderheads. Over here in Canada the best Ice Hockey pundits aren`t the former big name stars but the guys that used to be backup goalies and journeyman bench warmers. They had a lot more time to learn the game properly while sitting on the bench than the guys that were always playing and always having their egos inflated by media telling them how wonderful they were.

I have Knox in my game to try to build an entirely Scottish Celtic team, it's only the start of 2017/18 but he has played pretty well in the handful of first team games I have given him, including goals in the League Cup against Motherwell and in the league against Dundee. His rating has improved to 2 stars with potential for 4+ stars. Will probably send him on loan to a Premiership team this season, but want to get through Champions League qualifiers where there is a chance to play him in the second leg of qualifiers, such as my next one at Parkhead against Partizan Belgrade, I won the first leg away 6-1

Whelp, time for the next dodgy character to come through the doors at Ibrox

Wow, that looks like it will be an impressive ground! I gather Lazio will still play at the old Olympico? I went to a Lazio match in 2008 there and it wasn't a great atmosphere with only 25,000 people there (capacity was 80,000) at the time. Coupled with a bizarre decision not to sell tickets on match day (we had to buy them off a dodgy bloke near the stadium) and the seats being far from the pitch meant that it wasn't the best day out, however I was determined to see a Serie A match! On the plus side, the Lazio fans did sing most of the match, I just wish it was more full! Oh, also it was Sunday so there was no place to get anything to eat in the area around the ground, every restaurant/shop was closed!

Mike Ashley might actually show up at Ibrox on occasion, so that would be an improvement over King. Granted it's an easier commute from Newcastle to Glasgow than from South Africa but still.

Sometimes the Brexit situation you get does nothing, the WP rules don't change. Morton update. All is not well in my 2018-19 season as Morton. 10 games into the Prem season and I am near the bottom, despite changes to my formation and new defenders, my defending is still rubbish. I ship far too many goals. At least I beat Sevco 4-0! Only league clean sheet so far this season

Also to point out that the two players referenced (K. Dembele and Gilmour) are 14 and 15 years old and a long way away from first team football. Even at Celtic and Sevco there are youngsters that are easier to evaluate than those two.

Wasn't able to get the guy you suggested, he didn't want to leave Falkirk, but I did sign 23 year old fomer Liverpool and Oldham man (and Northern Ireland International) Ryan McLaughlin on a free. He has yet to make his debut as I just signed him after 2 league games but hopefully will solve my problem. I had tried to give the 16 year old a chance, he played well in the league cup group games against lower league opposition but struggled in the premiership. Kilday's future looks grim, in 2 starts this season he has been dire and I just signed Kyle Benedictus from Raith for 110k so he should be Thomas O'Ware's partner in the heart of defence. O'Ware has been excellent thus far while other CB options have been poor.

I'll see what they are asking for him in my game world. Falkirk just got promoted so they may try to hold on to him. A fall back plan is bringing Celtic's Anthony Ralston either on loan or permanently. Celtic will probably want a good 300k for him so that may be a bit steep, I have some League Cup games coming up against lower league opposition, will give me a chance to evaluate how good this 16 year old academy kid is.

Morton update. Finished 8th in my first season in the Premiership. Defending remains a significant problem with only 3 league clean sheets and the second worst defensive record in the division. Coming up with an established back 4 seemed to be a problem. Young Lewis Strapp has claimed his spot at left back but in the centre of the park I tried a number of combinations to limited results. Thomas O'Ware ended up playing his way back into my team after some really poor performances and big mistakes while Gavin Gunning got dropped after some bad games. Jordan McGregor played well down the stretch so he may get the spot in the next season, but he will be pushed by an academy product Reece Bain who had a couple of good games before going down injured. Right Back is a concern though, Michael Doyle and Lee Kilday both struggled to make an impact. I handed a debut to a 16 year old academy kid in the last couple of league games and he played very well (a 1-0 win over Inverness and a 7-1 thumping of St. Johnstone) so that could be a plan going forward. Elsewhere Andy Murdoch won all sorts of awards, his 18 assists were by far the best in the division and he had the highest average rating. Unfortunately it still wasn't enough to get a Scotland call. Gary Oliver led the way up front with 25 goals, I also made Aiden Nesbitt's loan spell permanent after the season ended. Looking good to continuing to develop my young and exciting Morton team.

So umm, apparently tonight's NASCAR pickup truck race (AMERICA!!!) was a crash fest. Only going by my twitter feed mind you but Kaz Grala won and pretty much everyone else crashed

Don't forget Financial Fair Play rules. If the main source of income over there is Dave King pumping personal money into the club then they will fail the FPP rules, meaning a hefty fine or exclusion from European footy.

I think Cathro needs time. Losing the players who I thought were Hearts' two best defenders (Souttar and Patterson) is really difficult and the winter market isn't the best place to go shopping for good replacements. I think 4th looks probable this season and they can do a proper re-assessment in the summer.

The folks with MLS ambitions were a different ownership group. The MLS bid was led by Eugene Melnyk (owner of the Ottawa Senators) who wanted to get public money to build a stadium in Kanata while the Fury are owned by Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group who also own the Ottawa Redblacks CFL team and Ottawa 67's OHL team, all of whom play out of the Lansdowne Park complex. The MLS push happened as each group were lobbying for public stadium money, one group to build a soccer specific stadium and the other to rebuild Lansdowne Park

That's Toronto though, ticket prices are often inflated in that market. Just ask anyone who wants to go see the Maple Leafs play at the ACC. I'm up here in Ottawa and our team just went down to the USL due to higher costs in the second tier NASL. Tickets for NASL fury games were between $30-50 which was hard to swallow for a second tier team playing in a third full stadium. Apparently they were losing $2,000,000 per year despite the 4th highest attendance in the league

Happy that MLS has finally updated the "domestic player" rules so that Canadian players will be equal to American players. Previously Canadians could only be considered "domestic" on the 3 Canadian teams while Americans could be "domestic" on all teams, including the 3 Canadian ones. There are some caveats to this but it's a step in the right direction. My fav. team is Montreal, so hoping the Impact can continue to progress from last season's successes.
