2 very decent signings. Shows what regular Champions League football can do for you.

Aren’t Queens Park looking at making a permanent move to Lesser Hampden at some point now that they’re professional rather than amateur?Winston Biscuit wrote:A blow for ICT as they lose and their rivals win. they had got to 2 points from getting out the relegation zone but are now back to 4 points
unrelated - I only learned yesterday that Queens Park are back at Hampden again after a 5 year break

Should be more credit for Alloa as they are one of the very few remaining semi professional/amateur sides in the upper levels of the senior Scottish league system and, in recent seasons, they've hung around the lower 2nd and upper 3rd tiers.Winston Biscuit wrote:A 95th minute winner for Alloa against Annan means Inverness are back to being just 2 points away from getting out the relegation zone and they have a game in hand

That's looks like a pretty impressive ground for the time. Shame what the owners did.Sutekh wrote:Clydebank has had a succession of clubs called Clydebank. They’re well used to one club folding and being replaced by another (on average every 30 years or so). I lost track of them when the third (I think) incarnation moved to Airdrie and became Airdrie United (now Aidrieonians again). Seems this current incarnation started in 2003 so should have at least another 10 years or so of life left in them.Winston Biscuit wrote:Just looked up Clydebank. crikey, they've been through the ringer. didn't realise they had fallen so far
The ground is what it is as they now play in the West of Scotland League (currently stylised as the Greenversity league), the winners of which would get promoted into the Lowland League. So they’re currently at tier 6 in Scottish football. Clydebank are currently top of the Premier Division, are unbeaten in the league and have a game in hand on the club in second.
When they were at their best level (late 70s & early 80s) they were playing at (New) Kilbowie Park (below). That ground was sold out from under Clydebank by its owners for retail and restauranting in 1996 and the club were forced to ground share at Boghead until the Airdrie thing happened (Airdrieonians entered bankruptcy and the owners of the subsequent phoenix club, Airdrie United, basically bought Clydebank to reclaim a place for an Airdrie club in the Scottish League).
Seems a very odd decision, but at least its until the end of the season. Would say Clement was doing very well in Europe, but there's too much short-termism domestically and this means yet another reset. Rangers haven't given a manager a meaningful period of time to build a team since Gerrard left.From Despair To Where? wrote:Wouldn't surprise me if Gerrard went back.
Barry Ferguson seems to be the bookies' favourite but that would be a completely mad appointment based on sentimentality.
