Heart of Midlothian Retire Number 26 shirt for Zaliukas

Heart of Midlothian Retire Number 26 shirt for Zaliukas.

The legendary Heart of Midlothian player Marius Zaliukas died last year after suffering from Motor Neurone Disease. Heart of Midlothian have decided to honour the great player with the retirement of the number 26 shirt. 

While at Hearts he won a Scottish FA Cup as captain in 2012. 

Among other trophies he won  also won at Žalgiris, the A Lyga, and the Lithuanian Football Cup. 

The player lived from 1983 to 2020. 

He was a Lithuanian who played for Hearts, Glasgow Rangers, Inkaras Kaunas, Leeds United, Žalgiris, FBK Kaunas and FK Šilutė. Plus he also played for the Lithuanian national side.  

He was part of an era when Hearts signed many Lithuanian players. The club were owned by  Vladimir Romanov in that era.

Leigh Griffiths To Continue At Glasgow Celtic

Leigh Griffiths To Continue At Glasgow Celtic.

He is apparently still in the plans of Celtic FC. 

He is a top goal scorer. He has played for some top teams, including Glasgow Celtic. 

Rumours are that he has signed a new season long deal. 

He is a great player. It would be great for Scotland, if he carries on being a top player. 
Scotland need all the top players we can get. 

I would support him playing games for the Scottish national side.

He has scored some great goals in his years as a football player.  

He had some great times at Hibernian also.

Man Utd Player Reece Devine Joins St Johnstone On Loan.

Englishman Reece Devine has joined Scottish Premier sides St Johnstone. 

The player joins the reigning holders of the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup. 

St Johnstone are also in Europe this season. They will be wanting to get far in Europe. 

St Johnstone of Perth, Scotland are a top Scottish side with a top manager. 

Hopefully Devine can use this season to show himself as a player.

Scottish Clubs Need To Perform Weill In Europe This Season - Soccer

Scottish Clubs Need To Perform Weill In Europe This Season. Support Scottish Soccer. 

It would be great if a Scottish side reached the Champions League Group stage, and won a European trophy, 

I think it is difficult for a Scottish side to win the Champions League. 

But I still think Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers are big enough to win the Europa League, 

And I still think every Scottish Premier club could be capable of winning the Europa Conference League if they were in it. 

At present Hibernian and Aberdeen are in the Europa Conference League. I accept every game will be tough for these teams. The Europa Conference League has tough teams. But I think all the nations of Scotland's size in Europe, are capable of producing sides that could win the Europa Conference League.

It is a tough trophy, but winnable. 

As there are only a few teams from the bigger leagues of European football in the Europa Conference League. So it is an outside chance one of the smaller nations will produce a winner of the trophy. 

I want Scottish clubs to prioritise European soccer, for national pride. 

Thanks. --
