Shoogly pegs at the end of 2025

From ho ho ho’s to oh god no’s in a week

Hey

The eye opening brutality of a round of festive fixtures eh.

But first, thanks to everyone for reading and subscribing to my wee newsletter. I can’t overstate how much it means to me. The purpose is always to bring smiles and laughter and not to be taken that seriously. Thank you for being on board.

Obviously paying subscribers are what keeps the wheels turning so if you’re not one already then please jump on board for the guaranteed wild ride that 2026 will be (especially with the World Cup).

Back to the brutality. Now, bear in mind that I haven’t seen Sportscene yet so this is more about the reactions to events. I’m looking forward to watching the highlights of Motherwell’s dismantling of Celtic. Another feather in the non existent cap of JB Askou. The pundits were literally frothing post match.

Celtic were an absolute shambles. It’s fair to say that beating Aberdeen and Livingston doesn’t mean very much. Wilf Nancy looks completely out of his depth and with the Rangers winning again Saturday’s derby could be the end.

I had a ticket for Easter Road last night but chose not to go. It was going to be freezing cold but sometimes the football can warm you up. However, I knew with certainty that Aberdeen would serve up another plate of shite. Which they did.
