    In our support or theirs? Nah I'll pass, the guy acted like a Hun, wasn't just a mere supporter.

    If that Strachan rumour is true, and it’s specifically December, it does make you wonder if it’s Knutsen or Nancy considering when their respective campaigns end. You could maybe include Muscat as well, but the Chinese league ends on the 22nd, so we presumably wouldn’t need to wait another week-and-a-bit in his case.

    I thought Bellamy had more or less ruled himself out and was sticking with Wales through qualifying.

    Exactly and that's with Haaland and Sorloth as their front men!

    Look at Sweden too, not going to qualify despite having Isak and Gyokores up front!

    Who does Clarke have up front, Che Adam's, Dykes and Shankland?

    Guy is performing miracles getting Scotland qualified with those striker options, a shame too many have an unfair agenda against him just because he doesn't smile a lot

    Nancy, Muscat or Knutsen then.

    Tbh, I would be happy with either 3.

    Better be Knutsen, the other two are problematic.

    Bit from off the ball and the alleged claim made by GS to Tam Cowan

    I dont really care if Muscat played for the huns, in the long run he turned them down, and im happy he did, i think he'd have improved them.

    Nancy isnt really problematic, hes a young coach who's done well in the MLS.

    Knutsen is everyone's choice but id be wary of him outside that very specific system bodo has.

    Muscat is a dirty * which is exactly what we have been lacking for ages

    Anyone wanting Steve Clarke need their heads felt. He moaned about the abuse he got off the Huns when he was at Killie. It would be 100 times worse at Celtic.
    And for those that hatk back to his "Bye bye Rangers" comment, youse obviously never saw the whole thing.
    Coz straight after it he said "and bye bye Celtic

    Doesn't mean he'd be willing to go to us even if Rangers couldn't afford him. And if he's as stubborn as Ange, we'll never do anything in Europe.

    Someone posted a video of Nancy here a few days ago, and there was a big, flashy line on the thumbnail "they don't lose the ball" or something like that. Alarm bells right there. Get possession football to *. It's not money to be hoarded...unless you ask our board.:54:

    Knutsen is pragmatic, and can get players to overachieve massively.

    Just looking at Wales fixtures. They're righ in the mix for qualification and at worst, a play off place. Belgium on 14pts, North Macedonia on 13 and Wales on 10 albeit having played 1 game less than the North Macedonia.

    Wales last games are Liechtenstein and North Macedonia, which will confirm a play off place. That takes place in March.

    I think we can rule Bellamy out. Wrong time for him and us. We need some committed and ready to go.

    December.... Knutsen and Nancy from that list then. But that's on 3rd hand gossip.

    Think several folk will.have been contacted by now. Should hear more throughout the coming week.

    Think we’ll have someone in just after the international break

    Aye, with you in that. This season is absolutely there for the taking. We make the right appointment, back him January then it'll happen for us.

    Hopefully hear that list down to a few names by midweek.

    I'd be happy with any of Knutsen, Muscat or Nancy. Hopefully there's something in that.

    What about Roberto Martinez, Portugal will have qualified by December and won't be playing any playoffs. Maloney bedded in now as his no. 2.
