Actually the nights started drawing out in the 15th December - a quirk of the shape of the earth. Sunrise keeps getting later until around 28th…

I was surprised that Lundstram seemed to be moving ok for the 15 minutes or so after the dreadful tackle. Hope that he’s back in time for the old firm game.

Craig scullion

Is there any scope to bring Hagi back early?

Graham McCallum

Merry Christmas to you, yours and the Heart and Hand family. I hope the big fat red fella is good to us all

William Ross

The referee's decision with lundstrum is a prime example of why celtic don't want var.

William Findlay

A very Merry Christmas to all of you at H & H. Thanks for all your hard work throughout the year.

Craig

He's given the yellow card because he knew it would be checked by VAR anyway, and upgrading the card would be less embarrassing to him than downgrading. Refs are making a mockery of what should be a useful system.

Martin Boyd

Merry Christmas David to you and yours and of course to the wider H&H community.

Stuart Borland

I haven't listened yet but I'll assume that as today is 21/12 then a rush song starts the show....

David i know its hard to say as you are not the manager but what type of player /position will we sign in January do you think? And how many players?

stephen

Merry Xmas mate

Douglas Innes

Santa was class last night....... far better than the Dan Aykroyd tribute seen slopping about last Saturday down the Gallowgate

Rickie Clark

Thanks for mentioning Santa at the end there; my boy thinks Santa is made up.

Gregg

Merry Xmas David

Every time I hear a commentator say ‘welcome to Scotland’ to a foreign player after a bad tackle I cringe and think they are a big problem in Scottish football !

adam houston

A can't even watch any games in Scotland a don't even watch that mob unless there getting pumped n also can't still that epl very overrated league

Brian Rae

Besides blatant match-fixing/cheating, the 3 foreigner rule prevented us from winning a major European trophy IMO and in this day and age, It's ridiculous that a similar restrictive rule exists.

Gregg

Imagine they just refereed the game - no trying to let things go to “let the game flow” keep players on the park. Would love to see an old firm game properly refereed - we might see some football played. It’ll never catch on

Billy Forrester

I would say with 99.9 % certainty a striker is top of the list, and the way our midfield injury list currently is I’d also say a midfielder also are the priorities

Stephen

You’re right about the standard of Scottish football. I just find it amazing that it is takes so much talent and effort to become a professional footballer just to end up playing in a system that is all about kicking people and time wasting. Must be soul destroying for the players to be honest.

Steffen McAndrew

"Prepared to do unsanitary things to a tramp"🤣🤣🤣🤣

James McConnachie

Have we signed Shankland yet? Unless Santa has him struggling in his sack I don’t want to know.

George Harrison

Souness’s comments were interesting, when he actually committed some of the worst tackles I’ve seen on a football pitch … one in particular against a teenage Icelandic (I think) player while playing for Scotland, which effectively ended the boy’s career !

Steff Clarke

So, David, I heard that it's rumoured that after half time Santa sustained an injury which could keep him out for up to a year, any truth in this?

Graham Jones

The Scottish game needs leadership change. It’s been run into the ground at the behest of that other lot. We have a proxy board at the SPFL operating with instructions from Parkhead. If other clubs want to make more money from commercial deals, then they need to be the ones that demand it. The don’t seem to be listening to us. We’re hogtied into this pathetic TV deal with Sky. I have no gripes with Sky, because they were handed the opportunity to put the handcuffs on Scottish football by ourselves. We should be demanding to know why our commercial revenue is so bad compared to other countries that don’t have the same profile as we do. Why are countries like Denmark able to command much bigger deals for TV than we are? Until we increase revenue, then the gam,e is going to keep getting worse, no matter how many meetings we have about coaching. The referees are getting paid really good money for what is a part time gig, and they should be much better than they are. I wouldn’t want to be a referee, but they could be doing better than they are. I’m glad to see the home grown rule disappear next season, because these rules can do more damage than good. Leon King played in Champions League games when he wasn’t ready for them, partly because of that ruling. Have a good Christmas everyone. Here’s to a successful 2024!

Billy Forrester

I’m going to say this whilst we are all on a high so it doesn’t come across as being angry or downbeat after a lapse which there will inevitably be in the near future. The board must sanction a significant amount of money for a decent striker in January, we do that and we win this league, of that I am convinced. The board will be held accountable come May if we contrive to lose this league and we do not sign a Shankland or some other striker of that ilk. Let’s not regret not spending on something we desperately need that will pay for itself twice over if we do win the league. Make this a priority Rangers and we will have 56 come May 💙

Gary Brown

Thanks for the update David. Merry Christmas to you & yours. And to the rest of the H&H team & patrons. Scottish football is dire. I watch Rangers. No interest in the rest. I've spared you all and deleted the massive rant I typed as to why (IMO) the game here is so shite. It was just waaay too long! In summary. No one whatsoever (except fans of the teams involved) is one bit interested in the game here. It is a horrible, barely watchable, unsellable product. So there will never be any significant TV investment. The hammer throwers are just one thing of many that make it unsellable but far too many Scottish fans, our own included, love that hardman crap. Dessers took a lot of stick until very recently. One reason he didnt have a good start was from the constant fouling allowable here which is unacceptable elsewhere with fouls given. His disbelief was clearly visible, particularly his appeals to the refs. He's struggled badly with accepting & adapting to that and its frustrated and disheartened him. This affected his game, his timing and his confidence.

Stace1ofthePeople

Yeah I agree, and maybe even a RW? Not sure wright has the quality and mccausland has the experience and legs to play so much football. Could go as far as saying 2 CF? Danilo and roofe will not be back.

Thomas scroggie

Merry Xmas David hope you and the rest of the guys have a belter and congratulations to martyn and his misses 🍺💙

James Muir
