Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor have been banned from ever representing Scotland again, while Rangers have suspended the pair for a fortnight without pay.

The news comes after an internal club inquiry into the players' conduct over the last week while on international duty with Scotland.

It’s that time of year again: the weather is wetter, money is minimal and New Year’s resolutions are already redundant. But fear not: Football Aid are here to brighten up those February blues with the return of the spectacular annual event, the unique and fantastic Football Aid Auction!

Terry Butcher insists he would not be opposed to seeing Kris Boyd playing for Scotland again.

The Rangers striker made himself unavailable for selection in October after growing increasingly frustrated at a lack of action under national coach George Burley.

The powerful front-man then claimed that he would remain in the international wilderness for as long as the current management team are in place.

A Scottish politician has accused the UK government and the Football Association of conspiring to ensure that a Great Britain football team will compete at the 2012 Olympics.

The showpiece event in four years time is set to be staged in London, leading to calls for the home nation to be represented in as many competitions as possible.

George Burley says it is 'ridiculous' that Scotland's 2010 World Cup qualifying fixture against Norway next year has been moved.

Scotland were originally due to face their Group 9 rivals in Oslo on 19th August, but Fifa has brought the game forward by a week.

The change was required after Uefa altered its Champions League dates, but the Scottish FA asked Fifa to switch the Norway fixture to October.

After Playing 4-4-1-1 against Macedonia, 4-3-3 against Iceland, and 4-5-1 against Norway, and now 4-4-2 angainst Argentina, one has to wonder if George Burley is ever going to play the same formation for more than one game, thus creating the fluidity and consistancy that Scotland were so obviously missing last night at Hampden Park.

Good News!

Scotland boss George Burley has confirmed Barry Ferguson will return to the side for Wednesday's friendly with Argentina.

Ferguson has not played since the Italy game last year at Hampden park because of injury, but is now ready to make his first start under new manager George Burley.

It would appear the English FA have spat their dummies out over the newly announced International home nations friendly tournament, due to start in 2011.

One has to wonder if this has anything to do with the rest of the *cough* British *coughs* Football association's failure to agree to join Team GB...

There is a St Andrew's Night Celebration being held in York on Friday 28 November, by the York Hearts Supporters Club.

Tickets are £25, which includes a hot meal (haggis, neeps and tatties or a veggie alternative); a disco; a late bar with plenty of malt whisky and a quiz, a raffle and auction.
