Is there anything cooler than Scottish Club names?

The injury thing may be a key in the league. Dundee has failed in previous years because of injuries. It's a brutal league that's tough to get out of. The difference this season for Dundee is just as much that we have a couple of players of quality, as that we have a squad that is about as good as the first eleven. Apart from Harkins, I'm not worried about most other players getting injured as there's players there about as good who can come in.
I work with a mad Rovers fan (no, not Gordon Brown) he is pretty happy with their start since gaining promotion.
I'm a Jambo and have seen some pretty horrible stuff at Tynecastle too (not just Nade playing up front!).

the problem is he has low level players in a low level league and you soon get found out when you play external to your shores.
this is a direct result of having a domestic competition where only two sides have seemingly any chance of winning the major prize.
go Stirling Albion
Given time and some players capable of passing and controlling the ball on the ground they will do well. Domestically.
also I believe Celtic paid compensation to WBA over the Mowbray appointment. IIRC etc. This indicates WBA (despite relegation( wanted him onboard.
I like him, he remionds me of Roy Hodgson, gives an honest post match interview.
Aberdeen fans said the man ran through the carriage on fire as others threw beer on him to douse the flames. The Edinburgh to Aberdeen service was stopped at Kirkcaldy at about 1900 GMT to allow the man to be treated.
British Transport Police said one man was arrested and another was assisting the police with their inquiries. A second man is reported to have suffered slight injuries.
The train was carrying Aberdeen football supporters back home after their side's match against Hibs in Edinburgh. It is understood a number of the fans at the match and on the train were dressed as sheep. The train involved, an Arriva cross-country train was the 1808 GMT, service from Edinburgh to Aberdeen.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: "British Transport Police can confirm that a male has been arrested and another is assisting with enquiries following a serious incident on board a train in the Kirkcaldy area of Fife at around 1900 hours yesterday." The spokesman added: "British Transport Police are treating the incident very seriously and investigations are currently ongoing."
