We know MLS is trying to keep him but some clubs overseas want to have him pretty badly. According to multiple reports out of England and Scotland, Premier League side Blackburn Rovers is now in hot pursuit of Stuart Holden.

There are more and more Americans playing abroad in the top European leagues. This winter transfer window should see even more leave MLS to Europe. So who will leave and where were they go? A few players have already confirmed their moves but others are yet to make a decision. Here's a list of possible transfers of American players to Europe during this upcoming (2010) winter transfer window.

There's a bit of a rum selection this weekend, with no games really sticking out of the fixture list to give us just cause to get out of the Xmas shopping crusade up the town. But aye well, never mind you've got to work with what you're given, so here we go. In this weeks [...]

They begin the series with a look back at our club's performances in European competition which, despite what the sassenachs might think, is not as bad as all that (as long [.

Under the freedom of information act, my friend requested these figures from Lothian and Borders police:

The following costs were billed to Hibernian Football Club for the following
fixtures:

Celtic 30/8 £6,407.80
Kilmarnock 17/10 £2,718.60
Aberdeen 31/10 £4,899.

Walter Smith insists the title race is still wide open, but the last seven days appear to have cleared the way for another Old Firm assault on the Scottish Premier League.

Dundee United and Hibernian have been giving the Glasgow two a run for their money this season, however once Rangers and Celtic get their noses in front of the rest, they tend to stay there.

It's time again for Inside Left to take a wee break, so updates will be a little sporadic between now our return in January.

Warning: Omerta Code broken.It had to happen eventually. And it fell to Merouane Zemmama to do the talking. Following Hibs win against Aberdeen on Saturday, the jinky Moroccan trickster, faced the question that every one in green has been avoiding.

Our betting slip, the one that said Laszlo will be the first to walk (after a gentle push), has been thrown into the bin along with the other Xmas crappery we got. Gannon? Sacked? Like, [.
