Rangers 0-1 Celtic: The Wizard of Oz strikes to give Celts 7 point lead
All the talk in the pre-match build up was about Kris Boyd and Rangers - would he play or wouldn't he, and how many goals would Rangers win by. And ...

Scottish Football Round-Up Part Two: A Boyd Brace cuts lead at top to Five Points
A second-half double from Kris Boyd and a superb 25 yard strike from Pedro Mendes saw Rangers defeat bottom side Inverness 3-0 and closing the gap on Clydesdale Bank Premier League leaders Celtic to five points as well as piling more pressure onto the Highlanders manager Craig Brewster. The home side were made to rue their missed opportunities in the first half when Mendes opened the scoring with a superb strike from the edge of the area within a minute of the restart. Boyd grabbed a quickfire double in the final 10 minutes to give the scoreline a more comfortable look for the visitors, although 3-0 did flatter the Ibrox side.
Scottish Football Round-Up Part One: Celtic held by Arabs, Buddies bid farewell to Love Street and Stalemate in Edinburgh
Another Saturday Fixture list has been played out and after their victory over rivals Rangers last weekend, Celtic had the chance to open the gap to ten points at the top of the table as they faced Dundee United at Parkhead. Despite being two goals up with more than 30 minutes left to play, Craig Levein’s side fought back to get a share of the spoils and could have won the game given Celtic’s poor showing in the Second Half. Meanwhile down the M8 in Paisley, St. Mirren played host to Motherwell in their last game at Love Street before they move to their new surroundings at Greenhill Road, Ferguslie Park. After successive wins for Gus MacPherson’s men a win would have seen them go out on a high, but it was not to be and they had to share the points with Motherwell. And the early afternoon kick off between Hibernian and Hearts ended goalless also - not for the want of trying though - both sides had chances to win the game, with Christian Nade the culprit on a number of occasions for Hearts for missing glorious chances. Before this weekend I would never have backed up Steven Pressley’s claims that the Edinburgh derby beats the Old Firm derby for football any day of the week - but given last weeks Old Firm match in relation to this weeks Edinburgh derby I would have to agree with him on this occasion.
The Scottish Football League was hammered by the weather and only seven games went ahead throughout all three lower leagues.

Poll Results: Are Scottish Referees biased in favour or against the Old Firm
We asked our readers over the course of a number of months to vote in our latest Poll Question - Are Scottish Referees biased in favour or against the Old Firm? - and a thousand fans lodged their votes and it seems that many fans believe that Rangers get the benefit of the whistlers decisions their way, while in second place many felt that the Old Firm jointly received the benefit of the doubt.
423 fans voted in favour of Rangers getting more decisions their way, while 234 voted in favour of both sides of the Old Firm. 183 Voted for Referees biased/favouring Celtic most of the time, while 116 voted that the Scottish Referees were poor. Only 44 out of 1000 fans voted that the Referees were in fact fair. So in the week that Craig Thomson has quit his highly paid lawyers job to take up refereeing Full Time, it is safe to say that those who took part in the poll feel that the Referees are biased towards Rangers with their decisions and overall a total of 83% believe that the Old Firm, Rangers and/or Celtic are favoured by the Referees more than the other clubs.

End of an Era - St. Mirren bid farewell to Love Street
Today’s game against Motherwell may be the first home game of 2009 for St. Mirren but it will also be the last at their current home Love Street. It is set to be an emotional day for all Buddies fans as they bid farewell to Love Street as the home of St. Mirren Football Club. Just 90 minutes left at Love Street and it is expected a capacity crowd will turn up to cheer the Paisley side on against Mark McGhee’s struggling Motherwell side. Many within the stadium will want to see the club and the stadium go out on a high with a win.

Livingston fail to pay players for second week in a row
Livingston’s growing financial problems are growing day by day, as for a second successive week the majority of the playing staff have not been paid. Last week none of the players received a wage with the club insisting that they would be paid this week after the money was transferred from Italy. However only three of the first team squad have received the money due to them by the Almondvale side.
The players are paid monthly and were told on Monday that the money would be transferred on New Year’s Eve. The payment issues mirror a similar recent problem at Hearts, whose Lithuanian bankers have switched from a weekly to monthly payment system in an attempt to end delayed payments.
Old Firm stars target of English Clubs- McGeady, McGregor and Bougherra
With both Celtic and Rangers battling for supremacy in the SPL this season once again to see who will win the 2008- 2009 title, they both face the same battle in trying to fend off the lure of the English Premier League, with some of their star players being linked with a move away. Aiden McGeady has once again been linked with a move to Blackburn Rovers, while Newcastle are coming in for another Rangers defender, while Rangers have also slapped a price tag on Allan McGregor. With both sides of the Old Firm trying to keep their best players at the club, it will be safe to say that only big offers coming in from England could tempt Celtic and Rangers to flog their star assets.
