Should Rangers go to the wall, in my opinion, the biggest loser in the whole situation would be Celtic, it's ironic that the two biggest rivals in our game massively depend on each other and without one the other would have no or very little influence on the structure of Scottish Football. They may not come out and say it but the power men behind the scences at Celtic Park will be quaking over the thought of Rangers going bust. We all know the money they generate is based around the fierce rivalry that exists and that also goes for the tv money that is generated through the SPL as well, without the 'big two' as they are put there is no way anyone would pay what they pay for Scottish Football tv rights. It is also not just down to money, when it comes to voting on certain issues with the SPL both Rangers and Celtic more often than not vote the same way and this is how they have managed to monoplise the distribution of tv money and sponsorship, without one of the other neither would be able to dominate decisions anymore and no more would the smaller clubs be scared to actually vote the way they want to. Look how ICT were treated when they voted no to the ten team league last year, it was a case of how dare you etc etc. Imagine a scenario where everyone gangs up on Celtic, they wouldn't know how to handle it and then we would see the toys thrown out of the pram but maybe that's what is needed. The same would be said if the roles were reversed and Celtic were in this situation. For the other teams I see it as a blessing and I am sure that behind closed doors a lot of the big men involved in the other teams would see it as a good thing, I believe Celtic would continue to dominate for a few years after however slowly that gap would close as other teams would grow whereas Celtic would be the only team that would decline due to lack of money. The distribution of tv money is key to the whole thing and even a little extra for other clubs would make it possible for them to grow. Yes the money would be significantly less but with a better distribution the other teams wouldn't see a difference and if they did it would be minimul as what they get at the moment anyway is peanuts compared to Rangers and Celtic. Gone are the glory days of Europe for Scottish teams and UEFA themselves have shown they are not interested in the smaller nations so putting that aside it may be the blessing that Scottish Football needs to completely tare everything up and start again and it may also serve as a warning to others as to the consequences of not running a club properly. I would not be surprised if Hearts go the same way, ironically again without Romanov they would be facing exactly the same issue but due to different financial reasons, it's only him having money that keeps the bank from calling the debt in. From what I have read, know and see the only two clubs that really run their camp without really going into too much debt is ICT and St Johnstone but the rest certainly have debts beyond their means as well as running at a loss every year unless they can sell players to make ends meet, look at Hibs and Dundee Utd. After all this though I don't see Rangers going bust, I see them going into administration before that just in order to stave off seeing the club going down, alone Ibrox is worth more than the tax bill is and if it really came to it and everything was stripped down, shipped out and sold on that would be the last thing to go, it might not be what they want however it might be needed. The very thought of administration for Rangers might even be enough for other clubs to start standing up for what they believe in and use the fact Rangers aren't the club they once were to shift the power once and for all.

Terry just confirmed on the radio that Lee Cox is on his way, a fee has been agreed with Swindon. Personally I think it's a shame as I genuinly believe he had a lot of potential and wanted him to stay a bit longer but money talks, lets hope we get a decent fee for him if the deal is concluded. I haven't read the rest of the posts today but getting over the disappointment of not winning a game which sounded like we were the better with more chances it is good that we have stretched the unbeaten run, kept another clean sheet and sounded like we were better overall than St Mirren. I suppose it shows that we are progressing this season when we are sitting disappointed not to be winning a game like todays where a few months ago a draw would have been a great result.

I'm sure I read in the Sun yesterday a short article about Wolves wanting to take Davis back in January as there is interest from various Championship sides that would result in better experience for him, in their opinion, and also means that he is closer to them should they want to recall him. Glad Roman is staying on until the end of the season, along with the fact he has come on leaps and bounds it also means we don't need to go out and look for someone else who we would have to intergrate into the team and squad as well, it always takes a bit of time for someone to settle in and with a January signing generally that time isn't there and they need to hit the ground running.

Excellent result at a great time of the year against a team that to be fair have had some decent results over the last couple of weeks and stops us from becoming firmly adrift near the bottom considering the other results from today. I always think we're a better team when we have games thick and fast and was convinced that if we had won today we would be able to carry some great momentum into the festive games and hope that it will help us on Wednesday against Hibs, the less time we have to think about games the better it seems to be for us. Will enjoy todays success over Christmas and revel in the fact that I can gloat when I go back to work on Wednesday as I'm surrounded by flocks of diluded ''we're the third force in Scotland'' supporters.

Bit of a naughty one by Lee McCulloch, elbowed the Saints player in the box and got sent off. Not sure I am used to all the games kicking off at different times though

Caleyjag and I have recently set a date for our wedding and have been looking to get the bigger things booked up well in advance however the one thing that we are struggling with and are looking for some ideas on are a band, we are looking for a good ceilidh band that would play in Aberdeen and are open to suggestions for bands that people may know and want to shamelessly plug lol. Hopefully we'll be able to either get a hold of cds or videos online and go from there but to be honest we really don't know where to start. Anyone got any ideas of where we could start looking or do you know anyone who is part of a ceilidh band or even got any suggestions of your own for specific bands, all ideas and help are welcome.

I open the link in RealPlayer and its still working for me .... but for ease of use if it cuts out, here is the direct feed link for the game and also for open all mics - just in case anyone needs to switch over/back. The Game: http://news.bbc.co.u...rem/6305553.stm Open All Mics: http://news.bbc.co.u...and/7742209.stm Cheers Scotty, I did manage to get it working again but will use the links if it happens again

I've got it on online and it cut off with a message saying 'for contractual reasons we are unable to bring you this programme but keep listening our normal service will resume shortly' and everytime I open it it still says that

Has anyone else's radio Scotland feed just gone?
