Over three weeks of tournament action and only one country stood tall: Sweden. Ibrahimovich proved to be unstoppable in the virtual world, earning glory for his country where the real world left a bit to be desired. Standing in the finals against a tough Croatian squad, they dispatched their opponents 2-1 for [...]

By: Ian Rose | 11 Comments
Rangers 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 in the Scottish game, and for years, Celtic supporters as [...]
Title Watch Update

A couple of titles were settled this weekend, and a couple of challenges got more complicated. Here’s what the Title Watch looks like after this weekend’s games:
Italy: Serie A
In an odd turn of events, AS Roma were AC Milan’s biggest fans this weekend as Milan dispatched cross-town rivals Inter, 2-1. Roma beat Sampdoria [...]
Clubs on the Verge of Domestic Titles
By: Inara | 4 Comments
Though there’s still several weeks left in most European football leagues, some domestic title races are already over. In Portugal, Porto were declared champions (though they might be relegated) while in Greece, Olympiakos won their 36th title (thanks in part to a court decision).
This weekend could see a few more clubs step into the [...]
Ronald Koeman Not Missed In Spain, But Wanted Everywhere Else
By: chris | 3 Comments
It’s been a hectic year for Ronald Koeman, swapping hilly Holland for Spain, and it appears he’s the type that doesn’t stay single for long, with a host of suitors already knocking on his door. At least that’s according to the always-reliable agent. However, if he’s looking for a letter of recommendation, must we suggest [...]

All About Promotion: Who’s Coming Up in Europe?
By: Laurie | 13 Comments
The other day we talked about the rather depressing subject of relegation. Today though? The sun is shining, so let’s move on to a much happier topic: Promotion. What second-level European teams may be moving up to the top flight?
This is not just a pride issue. It’s a huge [...]

Nothing like a derby to get the adrenaline up.
These are Celtic fans during their team’s victory over Rangers in the Old Firm derby this week.

The Old Firm Derby That Had Pretty Much Everything
By: Daryl | 2 Comments
The Old Firm Derby is always a big deal. You know that. But yesterday’s was even bigger because Celtic needed a win to keep alive any hope of catching Rangers at the top of the Scottish Prem. And Celtic got what they needed, in a game that had pretty much everything. Two great goals, a [...]
Category: Scottish Premier LeagueIf Relegation Happened Today, Who Would Go Down?
By: Laurie | 13 Comments
Ah, relegation. It’s every club’s biggest dread. (With the probable exceptions of the EPL’s Derby County, or French Ligue 1’s Metz, or SPL’s Gretna, where death might be the only event better able to offer pain relief.) And it’s a rite of passage around the world.
(Unless, of course, you’re American.)
Relegation [...]

It’s all smiles around Ibrox these days, home of the blue half of Glasgow’s famous Old Firm. And why not? After two years without a trophy, they already have one (the Scottish league cup) and are very much alive in three others (the SPL, Scottish Cup, and UEFA Cup). Today, [...]

By: chris | 5 Comments
With apologies to PSV v Fiorentina (more) and Bayer v Zenit (less), there are two games today deserving of nearly the entire spotlight, for vastly different reasons. Getafe because of its chance to not even win a trophy but simply cause a massive upset, and Rangers with the opportunity to win so many.
Despite the obvious [...]
Kris Boyd Tackled by the Ghost of Christmas Past
By: chris | 5 Comments
There’s been some talk around here that perhaps it’s time for Kris Boyd to leave Rangers for some more playing time. Maybe the reason he doesn’t play is because he pulls these kinds of stunts in practice? During the weekend game between Dundee United & Rangers, Kris is fed a ball which was his and [...]
Category: Scottish Premier LeagueIt Sucks To Be Gretna
By: Inara | 3 Comments
What hasn’t gone wrong for Gretna Football Club this season?
They’re already relegated, they can’t pay salaries, their manager quit, their chairman grew so ill that he had to withdraw his financial support, they’re in administration, their staff and players have been laid off, and their fans have stopped showing up to games (though the [...]

Last weekend was popular for players scoring with their first touch. There was 19 year old Alberto Paloschi scoring for Milan with his very first touch of the ball in Serie A, but there was also Celtic midfielder Barry Robson.
Robson joined The Bhoys from Dundee United just as the January transfer window was closing, and [...]
