the 2-0 victory over Ross County in the Communities League Cup.

Ally McCoist (right) has now taken over predecessor Walter Smith at Rangers
The Scottish Premier League (SPL) returns to action earlier than usual having been brought

who are to represent Scotland in UEFA club competition be more prepared from a fitness point of

A young #22, Tony Glavin, dribbles the ball.
A young man is picked up in a chauffeured Rolls-Royce to sign a new contract at the age of 19

With the Scottish Premier League 2010-11 season now over, it's time to have a
look back at the players who have made their mark during the campaign. When selecting a team of the
year it's hard to avoid Celtic and Rangers, but thankfully there are those from outside the big two

Fraser Forster will stay at Newcastle United Fraser is finishing off a very successful season long
loan spell at Glasgow Celtic, and will play his 44th and final appearance for Celtic this Saturday,
in the Scottish Cup Final against [.

Rangers and the various flare-ups that occurred at regular intervals during the
