Kilmarnock Promoted To Scottish Premiership.
Kilmarnock have defeated Arbroath 2-1 at Rugby Park, to win the Scottish Championship title. The Scottish Championship is the second tier of the Scottish male soccer scene.
The game result means that Kilmarnock are promoted back to the Scottish Premiership.
Kilmarnock 2 Arbroath 1.
Craigen scored for Arbroath.
Taylor and Alston scored for Kilmarnock.
The result takes Derek McInnes the Kilmarnock manager to another trophy in his managerial career.
Rangers B Beat Celtic B in Glasgow Cup Semi-Final 2022.
The Glasgow Rangers B side have defeated the Glasgow Celtic B side 5-4 on penalties to get through to the final of the Glasgow Cup.
The normal match itself ended 2-2, then went to penalties.
In the actual normal time game, Cole McKinnon and Ross McCausland scored for Glasgow Rangers, while Ben Summers Mikey Johnston scored for Glasgow Celtic.
There was then a penalty shoot-out which Glasgow Rangers B side won.
It was a high quality game.
I am glad that Rangers B and Celtic B are also allowed in the Scottish Lowland League to help develop their younger players.
Need More B Internationals.
International games are fun.
I think we need more B level international games.
International are fun.
Scotland could play an Old Firm select, a big non Scottish club side, or larger countries at B level, to give young promising players, matches against top sides.
I would love the Scotland B side to play sides like Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Brazil, Sweden or France at B level soccer.
Players will get more experience and be able to step up to the higher levels of soccer.
It is good way to develop young players for full international level soccer.
Thanks.
Are We All Reflections, Or Are We Reality? - Poem.
Are we all reflections, or are we reality?
Am I merely a reflection?
The reflection of me is the curvature of my mass?
Did my reflection create me, or did I create my reflection?
Am I a reflection of the light shining on my cells and clothes.
Is the reflection or photograph of my being, real or is it fiction?
Am I a reflection of the curvature of my reflection?
And where does my reflection go when I leave the room?
Does my reflection care more than I do?
Does this make me the subservient of my reflection?
Like a vain creature that follows it's superficial looks?
I have never seen myself.
Only my reflection of my past.
Do we judge ourselves by others?
Are we reflections of their views?
Like the black hole, I think I am the centrifugal force.
But without the others there is not anything.
So perhaps reflections are all there is?
Nothing is real without the powers of light, and sounds, and others views that shines on us?
And are all the views of us just reflections of our other shells.

I support all Scottish clubs in Europe, including Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers.
Will Someone Ever Buy A Scottish Title? - Male Football.
It has happened in most other countries in male football. Where a rich business person comes to a club and gives them so much money that they buy the league title, with purchasing great players, managers and youth systems.
In loads of other European countries different teams have bought league titles due to the backing of a major financer.
Yes this does not seem to have happened in Scotland.
Clubs like Aberdeen, Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Dundee United,. Third Lanark, Dumbarton, Motherwell, Dundee. Hearts, Hibs, and Kilmarnock have won the title.
Yet nobody seems to have taken a tiny club and bought them the league title from out of just financial backing from a rich tycoon.
It would be cool for Scottish football, if someone brought a small Scottish club from the lower divisions and financed them to a title.
I Think The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Should Be Given Official UEFA Status.
Although no Scottish sides won the trophy. I still think it should be given official historical status by UEFA.
It was a serious trophy and forerunner to the UEFA Cup. Lots of interesting results happened in the trophy.
But many people do not regard it as an official UEFA level trophy.
I think it should have the same ranking as the European Cup Winners Cup, Europa League, Europa Conference League and Super Cup.
I think UEFA should give the trophy historical status as an official UEFA trophy.
Scottish sides had some great individual wins in the early rounds of the trophy,
I think all the results in the knockout stages should be regarded as official in the same as in official UEFA trophies.
So the famous knockout round wins by Hibernian, Dundee United and Dunfermline Athleticwould have official status.
At present the trophy does not have the status of major honour in some historical records. I think it should.
Just as Scotland recently raised some previous matches they played in the sixties as official games.
Some Scottish games against Australia and other countries were promoted to the status of official Scottish international matches. So some internationals were given caps.
I also think FIFA should regard some of the World Club Cup matches played between English and Scottish sides in the 19th Century, as official World Club Cup matches.
I also think the first Super Cup match played between Rangers and Ajax in the seventies, should be given official UEFA status.
We Need More Clubs In Scottish Football.
The more clubs we have the more opportunities there are for Scottish players, Scottish, managers and Scottish coaches.
We need more clubs so that more top players and managers are developed in Scotland.
Every club brings money and resources and opportunities into the game.
