Serbia - World Cup 2010 (by Cup of Bovril)

With 10mins left on Tuesday night its safe to say that we would take a point.
A minute later Shunsuke Nakamura changed the evening.
His amazing left foot strike from a free kick that flew into the top corner was nothing more than fantastic.

When he joined Celtic it was assumed he was there to sell t-shirts in Japan but his strike against Man Utd was proof that he is a top drawer player, who seems to be enjoying his Champions League experience.

So at the 5th attempt we are at last into the second round of the Champions League.

Who do we want ?
Well I dont think it really matters but lets hope we can end the awful away record that we have in Europe.

After a weekend stand off outside Ibrox between Rangers fans.
One set wanting change and the other wanting no change (they must be the Huns Sadists).

Well rumours are coming out that suggest Dado "dire" Prso is the lead player in the split between Scottish and foreign players in the Ibrox dressing room.

Prso, who is reportedly close to Le Guen, is the reason why Kris Boyd has not been playing regularly as he feels Boyd does not suit his style of play. The style of a knackered Croat who has lost his will to run.
Prso also fancies captaining the side now much to the displeasure of Barry Ferguson the current captain.

It also seems that Le Guen's no tackling in training rule is going out the window, and all of a sudden there is lots of fight in the team but with each other.

So another week another manager.

Eugenijus Riobovas, the head coach of FBK Kaunas who recently won the Lithuanian title, is now the new temporary head coach of Hearts and the 7th since Mr Romanov got control of the Tyncastle Club.

Valdas Ivanauskas, the current head coach who is currently still on sick leave, was originally covered by Eduard Malofeev (now leaving to do his UEFA pro license). The last three managers of FBK Kaunas are now the last three "managers" of Hearts in the same order as they were in Lithuania.

So how long will Riobovas last?

His english is meant to be as good as Malofeev's, not very.

It does now seem though Hearts are pioneering the new role of temporary head coach with 7 in 21 months.

On average I only have to wait till end of January to ask for my 3 months running Hearts.

After leading Rangers to their worst start to a season in 23 years, Paul Le Guen obviously thought that this was not enough, well on Wednesday night he made history.

The 2-0 home defeat to St Johnston was a first in the clubs history.
In 134 years they had never been defeated at home in a cup competition by a team from a lower division, that was until Le Guen and his merry men arrived. History was made.

We can only imagine what Le Guen has in his radar next.

It was also good to see the angry mod who protested last October and November are back at the door of Ibrox demanding the same, Murray out and sack the manager. Maybe they are still in the belief that McLeish is still there as they only seem to get out about Halloween.

Celtic's bad Champions League away record continued in Lisbon last night with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Benfica.
Celtic's away record in the competion now stands at lost 9 and drawn 1 game.

The optimistic feeling that surounded Celtic Park at the start of this week has faded slightly, but Gordon Strachan is right in saying we are still favourites to qualify from group F. After all we still have 6 points secured oppossed to Benfica's and Copenhagen's 4.

The next game against Man Utd, on 21st November is now of huge importance if we are to maintain our destiny in our own hands.
The final group game in Copenhagen may be when Celtic will finally have to break their away duck or suffer falling short once again.

Last nights game through was the 4th time Celtic have played Benfica and each game has finished 3-0 to the home side, I think the odds were 17-1 for that score.
Ah hindsight is a fine thing.
