How damaging is the fallout between the Rangers boardroom and Membership 1872 to success on the park?
Andy Newport: As long as the protests don’t spill over on to the pitch once more prefer it did at Dens, there’s no cause for a boardroom break up with the punters to have an effect on what goes on in Gio van Bronckhorst ’s camp.
Craig Swan: In no way. Gamers don’t give a monkey’s what's going on exterior the dressing room.
Fraser Wilson: There’s by no means a great time for disharmony however this might barely have arrived at a worse juncture. GVB will do all he can to defend his Rangers gamers from distractions however ought to there be extra scenes like at Dundee it could begin to take its toll on the sphere.
John Hartson reckons Celtic ought to hand again their 700 ticket allocation for Ibrox – do you agree?
AN: No. This season’s derbies have lacked a key ingredient with away helps locked out. Whereas 700 tickets is an efficient begin, the earlier we’re again to the outdated full allocations, the higher the video games will likely be as a spectacle.
CS: No. There are greater than 700 Celtic followers determined to go to the sport, so why deny them?
FW: It’s paltry however it’s a begin. Not less than it will get some away help again into the fixture. This summer time is the time for either side to take a seat down and thrash out an settlement to get again in the direction of the outdated visiting numbers. I received’t maintain my breath although.
A dodgy penalty robbed Scotland of seven wins on spin however what did we study from Poland draw?
AN: That Steve Clarke’s crew are wanting increasingly snug towards top-level opposition. Seven video games undefeated isn't any imply feat in worldwide soccer and it’s precisely the kind of type we’ll want for Ukraine semi.
CS: That Nathan Patterson is an excellent prospect for right-back for the subsequent 10 years and the crew total is getting higher.
FW: That honesty and staying in your toes will get you nowhere in trendy soccer. Significantly although, it appeared like not one of the fluency that characterised the wonderful run of six wins had gone. Patterson was wonderful.
Gareth Bale fired Wales into the play-off remaining however – ought to we get there – would you fancy Scotland?
AN: Sure, however it’s unlikely to be a snug affair with the Actual Madrid ace able to pouncing at any second. Scotland look a stronger all-round crew however Bale is a game-changer all by himself.
CS: It’d be some sport. An actual 50-50 affair. However, sure, Scotland are on the up and will do it.
FW: I’d be leaping behind the sofa each time Wales received a set-piece inside 40 yards of purpose. However apart from that I really consider Scotland have the higher crew. There’s a lot to do earlier than we get to that time although.
