Partick fans, rumoured we're after Aaron Sinclair. How is he?

No point in having Rangers in England without Celtic - boring without the rivalry.

This, pretty much. I'd like to see us move to England one day but I can't see it. We certainly won't try and manipulate gender laws to try and force our way in, anyway.

Shite. Leave him with us. You don't want him.

Honestly; he's fucking great. Left-back/wing-back. Has a lot of pace, can beat a man very well, can cross when he wants to, can find a pass and is generally a very good wing-back. Defensive he's a little suspect. If you played five at the back he'd be superb. He's definitely going to play at a higher level at some point. He was probably one of our better players today, and that's saying something, because we were fucking tragic today.

Just noticed he was on our books a few years back and we released him. Sigh.

Delighted for Strachan. Hopefully he can get some of the big name players performing well as well as adopting a more attacking approach than the dour football played under Levein and Burley.

Great, a St Mirren v Hearts final, the one time I really want Celtic to win...

Armageddon my arse.

Incidentally our win yesterday was scrappy, which I suppose is a good thing given we go to Cowden on Saturday in one of our games in hand over Morton.

Hopefully with Sods back in the side we can kick on and get another win.

I just hope that 2-2 draw with Livi doesn't come back to bite us on the arse, we would be two points behind Morton with our two games in hand intact if we had held onto our lead...

How is McGivern? He was appalling for us.

Who's 'us' in your case? He's been on loan to a load of clubs. As for his time at Hibs, he's looked quite good, decent defensive game and an eye for a pass. I daresay he'd be able to hold his own in the Championship if he doesn't stay with us.

He's a Bristol City fan.

Ah right, in that case he seems to be doing a lot better this season than last.

Stephen O'Donnell and Stuart Bannigan have been called up to the Scotland U21 squad. Really proud of them and it's great to finally see them get the recognition they deserve and Stark's finally looking at the First Division for players.

As much as I'm delighted by that, it's looked ever more likely that McNamara might get the Dundee United job...

Brown to stay!

Also, how funny was it seeing Rangers getting hammered up at Dundee United given the fans boycotts and other nonsense.

Greenock Morton v Partick Thistle today. The biggest game in Scotland.

I'm fucking nervous and I can't go due to work. Will miss Twitter updates for the second half too and won't find out the final score until about 7pm. Ahhhh.

Disappointing to have been 2-0 ahead and let it slip and end up with a point instead of three.

I think there may have been some naiivety from Archie in honesty, I always expected Morton to come back into it and grab a goal so our reaction to that would be vital and while we coped well for the most part, we ended up sitting back too much and got caught.

Hugh Murray is a total liability, another sending off for us this season, his second at Cappielow and his fourth of the season.

Erskine was excellent for us today as was Craig. Both deserved their goals and it was also good to see wee Lawless back as well.

Odd to see Morton at the top of the table, their one of those sides that in recent years just did enough to survive and not much else. Did they strengthen that much in the summer?

They strengthened quite a bit and have quite an experienced team who, if they get promoted, will get ripped apart. Their team is full of those players who are great in the SFL1 but not good enough for the SPL. Three times promoted Martin Hardie, for example. I think they have one of the bigger wage structures in the league too, their chairman's rather wealthy, but I'm unsure how much of an impact this has had.

Been a while since I've been annoyed that Hibs failed to win away to Dundee United, with the league so congested between 2nd and 11th we really could have done with the three points.
