I see Rangers have been drawn at home to Elgin City in the Scottish Cup. They have got home draws in 6/7 cup games this season, their only away game against Forres Mechanics. Think it's 7/9 if you include the Ramsden's Cup. Just sayin!
Pat Fenlon's, joint top of the table, Hibs have been drawn at home to Hearts, in a repeat of last season's final.
The string of quotes in this piece about Snoop Dogg being interested in buying shares in Celtic are pure gold: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/enterta...ts-set-1443321
HIP HOP superstar Snoop Dogg has revealed he wants to buy a share in Celtic.
The Los Angeles-based rapper says he wants a seat on the board and is ready to shell out millions to get involved at the Parkhead club.
He said he has discussed his plans with pal David Beckham and claims he’ll get Becks into a Hoops jersey.
Snoop was inspired to get involved after watching the club, who are worth around £30million, beat Barcelona in the Champions League earlier this month.
He said: “I got a lot of interest in soccer. It’s not a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in sports teams but it is a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in soccer teams.
“I didn’t catch the whole Barcelona game but I watched the highlights. I know Barcelona are
a big deal, and it shows Celtic are a big deal as well.
“I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell.
“I haven’t really thought how much. I don’t need to run a soccer club but enough of a percentage to get me on the board so I can be heard.
“I want to bring a bit of Snoop to things.
“I am passionate about my sport. The boxes at Celtic would never be the same once I have hosted a party there.”
noop, 41, a qualified football coach who trains his son’s school team, sounded out ex-
Manchester United player and now LA Galaxy star Beckham for advice.
He said: “I asked my man David about Celtic and he was like, ‘Yeah, teams don’t come much bigger’.
“I would try and sign him up for a season but he is pretty happy over here. LA is home for him and his family now – but I would have to at least make that offer to my boy.
“We have lunch when we can, so next time, you know, I am going to speak to him about it. Never say never.”
The music producer and actor has been a fan of Celtic since he was pictured in a Hoops top in 2005.
Today, his favourite player is striker Georgios Samaras. He said: “I like Samaras a lot. He looks like a proper athlete and is a pretty dangerous player. If we are to go far in Europe, he needs to play well.”
And Snoop, who was once banned from coming to the UK after a series of drug and firearms offences, says he is so serious that he’d even consider buying a “crib” – or home – here to keep an eye on his investment.
The reformed character – who has sold more than 30million albums worldwide – said: “I love Scotland. I am so happy my UK ban is up. I love British Indian restaurants, man – but the best one I ever had was in Glasgow. The food blew me away, man.
“When I am away, I like to stay in hotels and have people look after me. But if I had investment in Celtic, that’s a different story. Maybe I would look for a crib over there.”
Snoop– who is is due back in the UK next year and has a documentary about his life, Reincarnation, also due for release – is not the only rap superstar to have a passion for Celtic.

That's gas.
He's already using the royal 'we'.

I haven't a clue about these rappers, though I have heard the name Snoop Dogg before.
Of course it's well known that Bob Marley was a Celtic nut.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Neil Lennon seems fine with it: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/f...non-id-1445671
But only so long as Snoop invites him to one of his parties.
In other news, I hear Scoopy Scoppy Dog Dog is looking for a place on the Shamrock Rovers' Board of Directors.
Delighted for Hibs. After a three and a half year wait and 13(?) games, they have beaten Hearts at last. Watched the game on Sky. Have to be honest and say the standard was pretty poor and after their goal all their could do was kick the ball back to Hearts but they won and that's all with matter to their long suffering fans and Pat (almost said Tony) Fenton. Can they end their 100 year wait for the Cup!!?
Rumours of Arbroath applying to play in La Liga. They are afterall better than Barcelona
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
My favourite part of the Icey-Tea story:
So he wasn't that fussed before, but as soon as someone snapped him wearing that jersey he found on the street, he felt he had to become a massive fan!The music producer and actor has been a fan of Celtic since he was pictured in a Hoops top in 2005.

Oh dear..

Are the two mutually exclusive? Hmmm, perhaps we'd better not go there.
And Liam O'Brien is Fenlon's assistant. I remember O'Brien playing for Rovers, winning a title (possibly more) under Jim McLaughlin, before he took the Queen's shilling and he also played a few games for Ireland. Languid type of midfielder. Good to see him still in the game.

SPL rivals the LoI for the "Most pointlessly convoluted league restructuring award".
At least they're getting a restructuring. WE have a big dog doo on a stick.

Is wildly changing formats every two years any worse than wildly changing formats every four years like we do?
There's nothing wild in what we do. The Scots have it down. Splits, beauty pageants. I can't wait til they go to Apertura and Clausura. BRILLIANT!

Does this mean Rangers get promoted twice in one season?
Or is it smaller clubs taking advantage of no Rangers in the SPL to get through something on a rare 11-1 vote?
It will mean that if Rangers get promoted this season, which they will, they will be in the new National (3rd) division if it starts next season. I say it will be fudged and that it will come in 2014-2015 at the earliest to allow Rangers get back to the SPL/Premier (1st) divison.
