Scottish Greats...

With today being St. Andrew's day, a post focusing on those "north of the border" (no, not the Canadians!) seems very appropriate.  So, returning to one of my favourite subjects - footy - I will run through some of the greats who have represented their country.

Football League Updates...

As promised last week, here are the weekend's updates from all the league action in England and Scotland.

And Now, the End is Near...

Today's Results...

Following on from yesterday's post, I nearly had the opportunity to bring you news of a historic double.  St. Johnstone won the Scottish Cup - the first major trophy in their history - by seeing off Dundee United 2-0, but Hull City just failed to win the F.A.

Cup Final Day...

Tomorrow is one of the greatest days in the football calendar : Cup Final day!  There are the finals of both the F.A. Cup (in England), and the Scottish Cup.  So, this seems a good time to have a look at the teams, and a few stats...
