Cheers son's crying. Nice one. 

Don't shoot the messenger :(

Tbh I'm surprised no-one spotted that earlier today - the screen grab is from the Beeb's  
Scottish Gossip page
We must surely be front of the queue if he was watching us last night, and he'd presumably prefer Euro + Premier league footy over playing diddy teams like Hearts?   (Assuming we haven't pissed all our war chest up the wall and can afford him of course)

Was he actually watching us last night or is this just a bit that I'm, sadly, not privy to?

That I don't know, I took Gianfranco's comment at face value.    Wishful thinking?
Even if he wasn't, the rest of my question still stands.  He surely would prefer to play for the team that has the other team sitting on the mantelpiece?

Genuinely not sure if I'm being whooshed here but I posted about the bold Nadir yesterday because of the Dundee link. The back page that's been posted is literally yesterday's news.

I'm not whooshing you, I'm just being a bit clueless again, it seems.  I'm OTK don't you know 😔

The unforgettable Çaykur Rizespor. Always liked those guys. Keep an eye out for their results. 

How many of the other 20 teams in the top Turkish  league can you name? How many Scottish Premier league teams do you think your average Turkish fitba' fan could name?

McCormack joins Tanner at Aldershot...

Also, Rohan Ferguson's signed with QoS...I think he was the last of those released without a club and definitely one for the #numberpolis.

 

What a brilliant signing for my wee English Team 😍. Welcome Ross

Fucking hell. As awful as we've been this season we're two wins against teams that are probably about Aberdeen level away from the Group Stage. Some sort of perverse logic makes me think we might do it.

It would be peak Motherwell to make the group stages of Europe and be relegated in the same season.

Is it a free pass into the Champions League if we win this thing?

Hate to break it to you but H B Sheva are perhaps similar to Aberdeen on a good day but V Plzen have won 5 league titles and 4 runners up in the Czech league. That would suggest to me they are a step up from Aberdeen.  Still clearly a much better draw than Beşiktaş and certainly Basel.

Czechs?  Scotland beat them.

Aye fair dues I may have underestimated them a bit there. Still though, if we somehow make it past Hapoel- doubt we will obvs- we're essentially a home cup tie against a team slightly below OF level away from the Groups. A massive opportunity.

I reckon we'll lose by at least 3 to nil in Israel so this is probably all moot but it's nice to fantasise.
