For a number of reasons I’ve not been able to write a full column this fortnight but here are some thoughts on matters I’ve sketched down over the past two weeks. Normal service will be resumed shortly. *** Craig Anderson of this parish introduced me to a great new term that he’d seen on Pie […]

Aberdeen and St Johnstone shared the spoils in a game which opened as a cure for sleep deprivation and finished as an exciting end to end context. The first half was a difficult contest to consume as the pitch contributed to a turgid affair as both teams were incapable of controlling the midfield and therefore […]

Friday started like any other match day for Rangers fans as they prepared to head south to Dumfries as their club aimed to close the gap to Championship leaders Heart of Midlothian to six points.
