Bought a ticket for this a few months ago as I thought it would be a good game & a good atmosphere under the lights. The league positions, previous matches between these sides and Sunday's comeback should make it an absolute belter though.

We live in the age of smartphones, social media and clickbait tabloid press. If there was any evidence to back this up then it would be all over the internet. At the height of the McInnes saga last week there were more than 1200 guests reading one thread on an Aberdeen forum & a lot of...

I saw that was claimed last week, but no-one was able to provide any evidence it actually happened & not one single Aberdeen fan heard it. Do you have any or are you just repeating what you heard without checking? That tune is used for the Durrant song, which is in poor taste - as a lot of...

McInnes has turned it down - would have been excellent news 6 weeks ago, but the way it's panned out, with constant media speculation, 2 awful performances against Rangers and missing training this week - it looked like he was off & a lot of fans have turned against him. Rangers have just...

Rangers have made an approach today for McInnes & it's rejected by Aberdeen, meaning it doesn't meet the £800k-£1.5m it would take to buy him (+ Doherty/Marshall) out of the contract. A figure that's not changed in 5 weeks. When the vacancy first came up, I thought he wouldn't take it - he...

Country and player pool is bigger, and rumoured £1m salary, plus he lives in Edinburgh. Scotland are at a low point so there's room to do a similar job as he did with NI. That's why he might take. Flip side is that his stock is currently high, could get a pay rise and wait for a nicer job to...

As good a candidate as you're likely to get, so I don't see any reason to be negative. It's not a great job, but slightly bigger and better paid than NI, so just a case of whether he takes it or waits for something better to come along.

Some positives from the game tonight - looking reasonable against a big name side and losing to a dodgy goal on the counter. John McGinn and Callum McGregor looked excellent in midfield and showed they can play at this level. It was a shame that some players didn't get on the pitch or get more...

Not at all - wannabe pundit says something controversial to get his 15 minutes in a headline. Even Paul Scholes, who said nothing for his whole career, started once he was in retirement and needed a new job. The Scottish call-ups are a mixed bag. Shinnie, Christie and McGinn are brilliant...

I didn't go into every detail of the game. Only because both Caixinha and Alves both made comments in the media - and Alves especially hypocritical to call the other side dirty when you got away with an off the ball red having completely lost your control and kicked out. Bowman I think...

I'm pleased for Motherwell. They absolutely battered Aberdeen in the quarter-finals and 3-0 was not an unfair scoreline in that game - against a side unbeaten in the league but barely got a kick for 90 minutes. They did the same to Rangers yesterday and thoroughly deserved the win. From an...

As a neutral, I think the issue is that he's been shite whenever he's played for Scotland. There is also the wider issue that it's been almost impossible to get a game for Scotland unless you play in the English lower leagues. In a lot of cases the impression is that being English with a...

League Cup semi-finals this weekend. BT Sport did a wonderful job of advertising the occasion - guess which sides they want in the final?

Pittman's been about average. Not a first team regular every week but scored at about the same rate as all our other forwards.

Was a strange story. Not sure the truth will ever come out. I’m going to watch Hearts vs Aberdeen at Murrayfield on Saturday – not too sure what to expect in terms of atmosphere, but it’s more interesting than a standard game at least. I was in the away end at Tynecastle in April and couldn’t...

I'm not a massive fan of Lennon as a person. Certainly he is a poor loser, loses his temper easily and has been involved in some unsavoury incidents in the past. That said, his history with Rangers goes back what, 15 years? God knows how many incidents between Rangers and Celtic, bullets in the...

Big win for Hibs yesterday, 3-2 at Ibrox. On paper I think they have a squad to seriously compete right at the top and have a good manager for the job. Aberdeen got a 2-1 win at Ross County to also keep a 100% record - with new signing Stevie May starting. Keep him fit and he'll be a great...

3rd round. That's 4 years in a row at the exact same stage. By Scottish standards they have a very good side, but not enough to make the group stages in Europe. The margin isn't huge - just one away goal today makes a world of difference - but they seem to have hit a plateau without spending...

They were 3rd when he took over though, and fighting for 2nd. His record over his 22 games in charge was less than one point per game and would have had them rock bottom 12th out of 12 in a 22 game league for those games. To take a side performing very well and get those results makes this very...

The answer is very simple – money. Football has changed dramatically in the last 50 years, and even the last 25 years. Previously, Celtic could get a good crop of players and win a European tournament. If Slovakia had a good generation of footballers then Slovan Bratislava could win a European...
