The euphoria of Saturday’s result quickly gave way to reality as Celtic swept Hearts aside at Tynecastle to restore their five point lead at the top of the SPFL Premiership.

Brendan Rodgers has taken full points from Pittodrie, the Glasgow Derby, the Tony Macaroni, Fir Park and now Tynecastle. Those treats are waiting on Pip Clement, he’ll get to Livingston on November 12 then sample the others in a five week spell that includes a Europa League visit to Real Betis.

Kenny Macintyre and Tom English have high-fived the launch of various Revolutions in recent years, this morning their colleagues online have had to turn to Football Insider and Team Talk for feel good stories tells you how depressed things are for the Gullible & Deluded.

The fact that Fraser Fletcher has worked for both Football Insider and Team Talk this year tells you exactly how credible both publishers are. About as reliable as Succulent Tam with anything soccer related after his horrendous coverage of egg-chasing in France.

Despite the hype Jack Butland sees Ibrox as a career move, a calculated gamble.

He took a pay cut to get first team football, any competent agent will have a get-out clause, possibly around £3m which suits all parties. No-one will be pulling Boumsong type stunts with the former England keeper regardless of the spin from Football Insider.

Having duds like Sam Lammers and Cyriel Dessers on long term contracts has left Bisgrove and Bennet with very limited options.

Butland’s agent will be on the case alerting EPL clubs and top Championship sides to the terms associated with his client.

If BBC Scotland want to see Clement handed a January war-chest they’ll need to brace themselves for the cut price sale of Micky Beale’s only decent signing- followed by the launch of the campaign for Robbie McCrorie to get a place in Scotland’s Euro 24 squad.
