    ..another blowhard bawbag that loves the sound of his own voice and spouts whatever suits the agenda coming out of Holyrood.

    He probably phones Nicola to ask permission to take a dump.

    The schedule will be tight… it could very well be played in February or March …

    … I think the big difference would be our injured players back to fitness and new players in.

    Id be disappointed if that Balogun donkey doesn’t play… Kyogo would make him look like he’s made out of concrete.

    The least surprising and most predictable bit of news.

    Don't say we didn't warn you. Your compliance gets you nowhere. You don't comply your way out of totalitarianism.

    Embarrassing that any club would be against bringing it forward. We all know one club who definitely will be against it though.

    Id imagine it will be brought forward and there being no games, financially better for everyone plus players would probably rather have the Christmas to New Year period off than a week in January.

    Aberdeen won’t want it. Finally on a run of form. Hearts for sure.

    I am unsure if 11-1 required, I imagine the powers that be can be swayed to make their own decision given health aspect - the decision will also be partially Sky TVs too.

    If I was them I’d prefer a full ground, with all the hatred built up via “controversy”

    Drives viewing figures.

    Plus the vast majority of the viewing numbers affiliated to neither club would prefer a Celtic win….largely because rangers are * hated (more) by a significant majority.

    That’s the reality of it.

    It also increases likelihood of a closer league - another big tick in the Sky TV decision making process.

    They rejected St Mirrens request to postpone their games against us and the zombies, that might be what you saw

    Don’t think I agree with that to be honest, not in my experience anyway

    What does the vote need to be? 7/12 or Unanimous? Courts has already claimed he doesn't want it brought forward, Martindale has said it should. This isn't going to be a vote on integrity or fan safety, it's going to be clubs agendas and how they benefit from it.

    Looking through the fixture lists, it's only Huns and Hearts that won't want the break brought froward.

    Listening to Burrows, it makes a lot of sense for the clubs to want the break brought forward.

    It'll be down to Sky though. Clubs should dig their heels in though with the SFA and tell them to get *.

    Totally depends on location to be fair dude - I literally don’t know a single person supporting a team out with Celtic or rangers who wouldn’t prefer to watch them being scudded.

    Don’t get me wrong - none of them would rejoice at a Celtic win either

    Celtic✔️
    Hibs✔️
    Motherwell✔️
    Livvi ✔️
    St Mirren - probably
    Dundee Utd - probably
    Hearts - ???
    RossCo - probably
    St Johnstone - ???
    Dundee - ???
    Aberdeen - probably
    Huns - aye right !

    If the spfl pay attention to the clubs and go with majority then we might be in luck. Probably give Sevco 2 votes though.
