They are at it again. They had taken a wee sabbatical and handed the reigns over to Celtic for a few months, but Scotland’s premier car crash football club are back in business. There’s a lot of questions still hanging over David Hopkin’s Morton departure and the overall state of affairs at Cappielow, but here’s … Continue reading What’s going on at Greenock Morton?

John Robertson’s Young Guns
John Robertson has been, pound for pound, the best manager in Scottish football over the past few seasons. There, I said it. There might be some arguments for Dick Campbell, or maybe Stewart Petrie, but I'm sticking to John Robertson for my pick. It feels strange to be writing this after they've only picked up … Continue reading John Robertson’s Young Guns
New Look Hearts Taking Shape
It has been almost seven months since Hearts last played their fateful match against St Mirren, before the SPFL decided to demote the club following the COVID 19 crisis. Since then, a whole host of players have left the club, as new boss Robbie Neilson began to plan for life in the Championship. Having beat … Continue reading New Look Hearts Taking Shape
Five Veterans to Watch in the Scottish Championship

Lawrence Shankland got all the plaudits last season, with considerable justification given that he scored 28 goals in 33 games in all competitions, but behind the headlines there was a lot to be said for Clark and the notable difference in performance of both Shankland and United as a whole when he was out of the side.
4 Things Partick Thistle Need To Do To Survive

Dundee United’s Fluid Attack Is Not A One Man Show
I didn't want to believe it, even though we've been top of the league since the first game of the season. There's always been a sense that we would find a way to Dundee United everything up and be doomed to another season in the Championship one way or another. But, now that 24 games have been played and we're 17 points clear of the league in January with the most goals scored, the least goals conceded, a striker who has scored 22 goals in 19 league games, and a goalkeeper that has kept 10 clean sheets in 24 games. Yeah, we're going up.
