Apart from the fact that it's paying his humungous salary, that seems a reasonable view. So we are back to money and the power of the green pound, which all seems a bit sad when you think about how unbalanced football is in this country. there is no doubt that playing competitive matches is better than playing meaningless friendlies,the league cup has proved that this season so far and has been good for the jags,we all know that the fans are the last thing on there minds when these games are organised,the fans get moved about like sheep so the club can make as much dosh as possible,if we see the dosh going back into the team then it makes it more bearable,instead of a 3 o'clock kick aff we will get the game on tuesday or wednesday night under the lights it's just another thing fans have to go through just to see your teams.

None of the dosh goes to anyone apart from Celtic though. That's the point that everyone is making. That's why fans of smaller teams think that "bearable" comes nowhere near the issue.
