I'm hoping Paddy can silence a lot of people by doing his regular jink past four players before curling a beautiful shot past the keeper when he plays against Rangers. That would put him on a par with Kris Boyd in Old Firm goals.

We`ve all learned over the months that what you hope and think will happen, generally doesn`t :D

There you`ve just gone and jinxed the tramp. :D
 
Must win game for Aberdeen on Saturday but I don't fancy our chances :(

With Aluko out injured we have lost one of our TWO (yep only got 2 players in the whole squad that can play out wide) wide players. With Fyvie out for the season we have lost our midfield engine too. Why McGhee is persisting with the 4-3-3/4-5-1 formation I have no idea, we don't have the players to pull it off now we have some injuries. We are playing strikers in the midfield to try and plug gaps, never mind playing 4 centre backs as the back 4. I think McGhee has lost the plot to be honest. I can't see the current system working.

We also have far too many strikers (I think we have more than any other SPL team):
Mackie, Paton, Magennis, Vernon, Velicka, Maguire and Megginson (7 out of our 23 man squad are strikers). We only have a total of 7 recognised midfielders and 2 of them are injured (one for the season and one until after xmas by the looks of things).

If we lose on Saturday, I vote to sack all of the current first team and just promote our Under-19s :p They are undefeated in the league so far and just won in the first round of the cup 16-0!!! They were 10-0 up by half time!!!! 16 goals is usually around half a season worth of goals for the first team ;)

Celtic come back from a goal down to beat Killie 2-1. Pretty disjointed in the first half but much better ij the second. Not playing too well away from home but still grinding out the wins, such is the thing that champions are made of.
 
Grinding out results is the name of the game. Another impressive game from Miller, get him contracted rangers!
 
Kenny Miller really is on the form of his life at the moment.

Where this composure has come from, i have no idea.

The player we signed from Wolves is not the same player we have now. Just goes to show how players can still be coached later in their careers.

9 goals in all competitions so far this season, he must be given a new contract and allowed to fill in the wages part himself.
 
Super Kenny Miller was always alright for Wolves tbh, he is a confidence player though and when he goes a few games without scoring he suffers.
 
Yup he has certainly hit the ground running this season. Hopefully his legs will hold up for the whole season but him and Jelavic together look like an impressive pairing. Back top of the league aswell. Good weekend all round.

90% of Rangers fans didn't want him anywhere near the club for 2 reasons. Firsly, many felt as he had worn those dreadful hoops, he could never wear the Rangers top with the same degree of pride and secondly (and, it seems, more commonly) he was utter gash.

In my opinion, Miller displayed amazing bravery to join in the first place knowing full well there was no hiding place for him. So much as put a foot wrong and the fans would have came down on him like brimstone yet as soon as he pulled on the jersey he gave all he had to give.

He still has that amazing work ethic yet over the last 18 months he has steadily learned a composure i didn`t think was possible. Look at his goals and the way he takes them to see what i mean.

We still have a very small element among out support who, whilst trying to come across as super fans, refuse to celebrate his goals but there is so much fun to be had with them on the forums when Miller innevitably scores a goal im not quite sure if i despise them or love them. :D

It is quite remarkable how well he has done.
 
He had the same situation when he joined Celtic, having previously played for Rangers. I don't think Miller has any real allegiance apart from wanting to play football and get a good wage for it. I wasn't disappointed when Celtic sold him as his scoring rate was terrible. He always worked hard, but he just had no composure. Not sure of the figures, but I think he's nearly scored as many for Rangers in 5 games this season as he did for Celtic in a whole season.

He's definitely going through a purple patch and fair play to him, it's hard to dislike Miller. Hopefully he'll find his normal form soon though :)

Great result for rangers in the Cup this week, Celtic's up tonight.

For last nights games I would have thought the biggest talking point would have been the result for Falkirk. Hearts performance this season is unpredictable at best.

Rangers scored a great amount of goals however, and I didn't see the game, they may be kicking themselves a little (and I stress little) that it wasn't a clean sheet. I guess the defence relaxed a little or Dunfermline got a goal and exploded after half time before being put in their place.

No matter how bad Dunfermaline played, getting a good set of goals is important for confidence.
Hearts are all over the place right now.

Jim Jefferies and Billy Brown were apparently raging. That is their default setting ffs :)
 
Aberdeen scraped by last night against Raith 3-2 but Hartley picked up another injury. We have serious injuries in midfield now:

Aluko, Pawlett, Fyvie and Hartley all injured.
