Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty is unavailable for selection this weekend as Steven Gerrard’s men travel to Hamilton on Sunday after the Northern Irish football association evoked a FIFA ruling.

Hibs completed the signing of Greek international Charalampos Mavrias on Wednesday. Joel Sked takes a look at the career of the new recruit.

Dundee’s sacking of Neil McCann brought the number of departures in the SPFL to 12 but it is a number which shouldn’t be concerning, Joel Sked writes.

It wasn’t so much the news itself that surprised so much as the timing of it. No one, not even a club legend, can expect to avoid speculation about their future after a start to the season that equals the club’s worst-ever league opening.

T he big question this week is this: can I fit the one-time blow-dried, satin bomber-clad Radio 1 DJ Mike Read, the Scottish historical painter William Allan (1782-1850) and Gazza into the same piece?

One can’t pretend that our clubs’ record in what used to be the Heineken and is now the European Champions Cup is impressive. Sadly, this isn’t surprising.
