The Scottish Football Segment

The SPFL is back in action after another drab international break (Thank god for that). Ross County V Celtic The SPFLs televised match this Saturday comes from Dingwall as Ross County look to be the first Scottish team to inflict defeat on the Hoops in Brendan Rodgers 62 game domestic tenure. Ross County have been in good if unspectacular form of late, having won their last 2 home matches and narrowly losing out to Aberdeen and earning a respectable point at McDairmid Park. Celtic are yet to hit the heights of last season domestically, but having said that, they have won every away game this season and with the minimum of fuss. Perhaps worryingly for the Staggies, Brendan Rodgers men have put 3 or more goals past teams 12 times already this season. Last time at Victoria Park, Celtic were held to a 2-2 draw courtesy of an outrageous dive from Alex Schalk. Since then, Celtic dished out a 4-0 drubbing at Celtic Park.

They perhaps have a point about the consistency levels that The Bhoys have to show domestically are entirely different to the different gear they have to show in Europe's premier competition. But there is not one person in England or elsewhere who could ever convince me or anyone else that the quality isnt there to compete. Sixty-Three games undefeated at any level in an astonishing a

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
