Rangers' Favorite Ref Strikes Again
By Ian Rose | May 10th, 2008Rangers took a big step toward finishing off the SPL title today, finishing off Dundee United 3-1. The real story of the game, though, was the referee, which is never a good thing. Mike McCurry is, far and away, the most controversial official ...
Rangers: Live by the scoreless draw ...
By Ian Rose | May 4th, 2008You know the rest. Just as Rangers held firm in defense and offered little in attack in Thursday's penalty UEFA Cup semifinal win over Fiorentina, they were similarly held scoreless by Hibernian today. A fantastic defensive effort from Hibs kept ...
Rangers 2 - Celtic 1 (awards, that is)
By Ian Rose | April 14th, 2008The annual awards in the SPL have been handed out, and no real surprises here, considering where the big teams are and why they are there. Walter Smith has his team ahead in the league with games in hand, alive in both the Scottish and UEFA Cups, an ...

Rangers win league cup on penalties
By Ian Rose | March 16th, 2008Rangers are the most trophied football club on the planet, going into this season with 107 major trophies (51 league championships, 31 Scottish Cups, 24 league cups, and 1 European Cup Winners' Cup), but it's been a bit of a dry spell for the blue half of
Celtic-0 Dundee United-0-Awful Waffle
By Matt | March 13th, 2008Shite. Pure and utter shite. You might never hear me say this, but besides Evander Sno and the back 4, the entire team was AWFUL! Sno did well, had some decent long balls, and held possession. That's what he is supposed to do. He's not going to get

SPL Wednesday Wrapup
By Ian Rose | February 27th, 2008A full schedule of midweek matches today, so here goes. Aberdeen 1-1 Motherwell Zander Diamond headed the ball in from the edge of the Motherwell penalty box to put the Dons up 1-0 early. Since the wonderful performance at Pittodrie against Bayern Mu
Hibees (finally) get a win, and Buddies advance in the Cup
By Ian Rose | February 13th, 2008After literally months without a league win, Hibernian has finally gotten a positive result, and against ... guess who? That's right. Gretna. Hibs went ten league matches without a win, more than a quarter of the whole season. In fact, it has been sin

Aberdeen 1-4 Dundee United in League Cup Semi
By Ian Rose | February 6th, 2008Well, I predicted 1-0 to Aberdeen in the second semifinal of the CIS Cup today, and I was right ... for 22 minutes. Andrew Considine put the Dons up after nineteen minutes with a rebound off of United keeper Lukasz Zaluska, but it wouldn't last long. Th
League Cup semi preview: Aberdeen v. Dundee United
By Ian Rose | February 4th, 2008One half of the league cup final is set, with Rangers taking a clinical victory over Hearts 2-0. The other finalist will be decided tomorrow, as Dundee United travel to Pittodrie to take on a weary Aberdeen side that is still alive in all four competitio
Where Will Robson Go?
By Ian Rose | January 28th, 2008In the latest of my transfer posts doomed to be outdated in the two seconds it takes for WordPress to post it: WHERE WILL BARRY ROBSON GO? The Dundee United captain and 1-time Scotland midfielder is the biggest domestic fish in the transfer barrel t
SPL Preview: Burns Day Special
By Ian Rose | January 25th, 2008Happy Robbie Burns Day, everyone. Today, 249 years ago, legendary Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns was born. As is the tradition of my forefathers, I plan on celebrating his birth with a bit of haggis and a much larger bit of whisky. But first,
Hearts 8, Dundee United 11
By Graham | January 3rd, 2008Caretaker Manager Stephen Frail's first game 'in charge' saw him resort to the rarely-used ploy of trying to have the game abandoned through having too many players sent off. Time ran out for Hearts, unfortunately, and the ref's whistle blew shortly after
Hibs' highland curse continues, Celtic falter
By Ian Rose | December 8th, 2007That's why I don't bet on football, especially Scottish football. Over the course of a season, as everyone knows, a bet on one of the Old Firm to win the SPL is a pretty safe one, but any given week, any team in the SPL can get a result. I really though
Rangers make up ground, Caley wins at Dundee
By Ian Rose | December 1st, 2007It's been an interesting day in Scottish football. As JT at the Celtic Offside predicted, his Bhoys only managed a draw away at Hearts today, opening the door for Rangers to make up points. They did so, beating Kilmarnock 2-0 to make the race for the SP
SPL Matchday 14 Preview
By Ian Rose | November 23rd, 2007The seemingly month-long international break is over, and club football returns to Scotland this weekend, with all twelve SPL sides in action. Celtic and Rangers play their first matches since the last round of the Champions League, each leading up to vi
SPL Saturday: The second tier keeps pace
By Ian Rose | November 10th, 2007Everyone knows that there is a top tier in Scottish football, and that the Old Firm is it. Celtic and Rangers are the two biggest clubs, in terms of support, money and basically every other measure, and by a pretty large margin. The second tier of the S
SPL Matchday 13: The Old Firm gets a snow day
By Ian Rose | November 9th, 2007That's right. It's Scottish football, without all that pesky money and international interest. As part of Alex McLeish's plan for next weekend's Scotland-Italy match, which will be called brilliant if it works and pointless otherwise, Rangers and Celtic
SPL Matchday 12: Old Firm win, United falter
By Ian Rose | November 4th, 2007We are through twelve matches of the 2007-08 SPL campaign, with a few shakeups in the league table. Celtic and Rangers both won (over Kilmarnock and Inverness, respectively), and so Celtic remains top of the table by three points over Rangers. Dundee Un
League Cup quarters: Celtic out, Caley thrashed
By Ian Rose | October 31st, 2007Well, the Halloween night quarterfinals of the League Cup are over, and the final four are Rangers, Dundee United, Hearts and Aberdeen. That's right. Hearts. The Jambos fans have had little to get excited about this season, but they managed to knock ou
Halloween League Cup quarters
By Ian Rose | October 31st, 2007There are eight teams left in the CIS (aka Scottish League) Cup, and tomorrow night, as the little kids play dress-up-and-beg-for-tooth-decay, they will be wittled down to four. There are some familiar sides (like the top three in the SPL: Celtic, Ranger
SPL Matchday 11: Celtic back on top
By Ian Rose | October 28th, 2007We are 11 matches and one quarter of the way into the SPL campaign, and it turned out to be the perfect weekend, at least in terms of results, for a little team in Glasgow you might have heard of. Celtic not only took their match, 3-0, over Motherwell on
Gretna and Caley get first wins of the season
By Ian Rose | September 23rd, 2007There were two surprising results in today's SPL action. First (and to me, foremost), Caley Thistle notched their first win of the season, 2-1 over Hearts in Inverness. Things looked to be starting as usual for Caley when Ian Black scored an unfortunate
