Scottish Results 19 December 1992
=================================

Premier Division
----------------

Aberdeen 2             Hibs 0
(Richardson, Booth)

Dundee  2              Falkirk  1
(Dodds, Stainrod) 

Hearts 1               Celtic 0
(I. Ferguson)

Looks like its the end of the road for Celtic as far as the league is
concerned.  Wonder what the "16 multi national companies" must be thinking
just now........  The biggest shock of the day was watching Paul McStay getting
booked although he did get a 7 in the Sunday Mail Starcheck.



Partick Th 1            Airdrie 1
(Johnston)              (Jack)

The worst refereeing decision since the 1966 World Cup Final !! Gus Ceasar
of Airdrie fell in the penalty box with no Partick players near him and
he got a penalty for it.  Not a good homecoming for the Jersey JagsFan.



Rangers 2                St Johnstone 0
(Gough, Roberstson)

Rangers at last found a plumber to fix the drainage at Ibrox but I wish
they hadn't bothered. A dreadful game with Rangers having all the possession
but not having a clue how to score, although in fairness Andy Rhodes had
some excellent saves.  Both goals were scored by defenders which sums up
the afternoon.  Best for Rangers were Gough, McPherson (yes !!!) and McCall.
The rest were very ordinary with Durrant out of touch and Huistra looking 
as if he'd more chance of crossing himself than of crossing the ball.
The pitch is in shocking condition especially the area next to the Broamloan
Road end which looks as if it's been relaid with scraps of turf that were
pinched from Bellahouston Park. Not a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon
but at least the bevy in Embra later that night brought me back to life.

Motherwell/Dundee Utd  Postponed

Other News
----------

Frank McAvennie has signed a months contract with Partick Thistle. Should
be fun for Frank living in Glasgow again !!!

Steve Harrison has quit after only 2 days as St Johnstone's assistant manager
due to madia attention about his exploits with Millwall.

On the day Graeme Souness left Rangers to join Liverpool, David Murray 
reckoned it was GS's biggest mistake of his life.  Those words seem to 
be about to come true.

Murrayfield looks in cracking condition these days and its a bit of
a joke when they can rebuild a stadium and its taken years for the SFA to
come up with any decent home for the Scottish national team.

Predictions time....with a difference.  Everyone is brassed off with these
daft predictions but how about these below.  Anyone care to predict the
size of crowds for the games below bearing in mind the capacity of one of
the grounds is only a 1/3 of the other one.

Dundee vs. Rangers

Celtic vs. Dundee Utd


No results next weekend as this place is closed and the doors will be bolted.
