Ah, one of the spheres had split and spilled it's contents... . . . re-draw... . . . They're putting the wee bits of paper back in the balls, apparently... . . . What a balls up... . . . Here we go (I don't know if I can take much more of this!)... . . . Hearts/Hibs v ICT Celtic v Morton Ross Co v Dundee United The Rangers/Kilmarnock v Dumbarton/Dundee Could have been worse, I guess.

So the view from the dressing room is that Thompson's chief interest is money. The rest of us were hoping for Morton at home; the bald one wanted Celtic.

I think any player in any dressing room, especially in Scotland, knows a chairman's interest is in the money. They do have to keep the club running after all.

That is only Paton's opinion, and we all know how it's hard to get an opinion out of any footballer that isn't "tongue in cheek", so let's not get too carried away in ST hate on this one, eh?

And perhaps he'd really love to put in a scything tackle on Scott Brown and mess up his new hair. But he can't say either of those things to the media can he?

Do Celtic have some sort of sponsorship with these hair clinics? Half that team have suddenly sprouted volumous, if slightly odd looking thatches out of nothing in recent weeks.

It must be hard for them sharing a dressing room with the magnificent Armstrong hair.
