Strachan's bizarre 'genetics' quip shows he's miles behind the times.

You know what, I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, he got it wildly wrong on Sunday evening and his stubbornness in the early part of the campaign has ultimately cost us... but the signs of improvement were evident, even if those signs emanate from Brendan Rodgers' Celtic side.

It's the hope that kills you. The somewhat knee-jerk reactions of 'Strachan must go' I thought. He deserves one more shot. One more go to get us out of this 20 year lull, if you can call it that.

Not anymore.

His comments in the press are the kind of thing youd have expected him to say at the start of the campaign. Leigh Griffiths wasn't tall enough, so he opted for the completely inept Steven Fletcher. Callum McGregor, even to this day has been inexplicably left out of the fold. Seems apparent that he doesnt have the required 'genetics' to play international football. He clearly hasnt learnt from the 1-1 draw at home against Lithuania, the humbling in Trnava, or the battering at Wembley.

If only Lionel Messi was 6 foot 4.

It's ludicrous that he could possibly believe what he's saying. Is he forgetting these weak, tiny Scotsmen passed Slovenia off the park only a few months ago?

Football has moved on, and it has left managers like Gordon Strachan behind.

It's time that the SFA do the same.

Rangers crash out of Europe and St Johnstone on the brink. Is Scottish football in crisis?

Last night, I watched the most Embarrassing result in Scottish football history. That takes some doing. Whether it be Malmo, Sigma Olomouc, Maribor, Vaduz or even the first leg against Gibraltans, Lincoln Red Imps; the whole thing paints a familiar picture for Scottish football as a whole. Again, We could be starting the season with only 1 team in Europe past July. Pat Fenlon can't bear to look as Hibs are hit for 7 at Easter Road Pre season felt different this year, Rangers had brought in lots of players from overseas. They have been so highly praised by the media. The normal football fan could be forgiven for lapping it up and expecting rangers to cruise into the Europa League group stages. It almost felt like Scottish football might have turned a corner. With Aberdeen linked with some big names and, if the rumours are to be believed, Rangers have spent upwards of £10m - with the majority of that coming in the form of soft loans. Maybe the Rangers board were also bankin...

Derek McInnes, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst? Maybe the man to take Rangers forward is right under their nose.

Rangers' hunt for their new manager continues. But who is the right man for the job? McInnes wins Manager of the month for April Sure, McInnes is the obvious choice. He's done a very good job in turning aberdeen fortunes around while outperforming the 'Gers since their return to the top flight. Maybe, if Celtic still had Ronny Deila in charge, This would be the Dons year. Likelihood is, This is the glass ceiling domestically. McInnes seems impervious to the questions from the media, Though I'm sure, if McInnes is given the option, he will be holding a red, white and blue scarf outside of Ibrox park the very next morning. That will be giving Stewart Milne sleepless nights. Van Bronckhorst during 3 trophy laden years at Ibrox Then there's Giovanni van Bronckhorst. He already knows what Rangers are all about and the scale of the task at hand. He would also come with a substantial managerial pedigree, having led Feyenoord to their first Eredivisie...

Scottish Teams route to the European group stages.

It's nearly that time again. The Europa League qualifiers start as early as the end of this month for Rangers and St. Johnstone. Celtic and Aberdeen will start their campaigns on the 11/12 and 13th of July respectively . So who could they face? Can St Johnstone,Aberdeen or Rangers get a much welcomed Europa League cash boost - and how much would they earn? Can Celtic stretch the financial disparity even further and make it into the Champions League again? Firstly, I'll focus on the Champions League and Celtic - The Champions League group stage beckons. Celtic will be seeded all they way through the qualification process and should make it that bit easier. 2nd Round Champions Route 5 winners from round 1 will join Celtic. Since the draw is regionalised, Celtic can only play teams from Northern Europe in rd. 2 - Assuming the seeded teams go through, Round 2 will look a little like this The teams underlined above would be my best guess Celtics Likely ...
