Allez les bleus!

Those of the bluenose persuasion may derive some satisfaction from this extract from Le Monde:
Incapables de répondre aux défis tactique et physique des Rangers, sans imagination et en deçà techniquement, les Lyonnais ressemblaient au fantome de l'équipe collective et virtuose des dernières saisons. Au contraire, les hommes de Walter Smith pouvaient se féliciter de leur prestation : trois occasions pour trois buts, une défense de fer et une victoire presque facile à Gerland.

I fear that Scottish football is increasingly gaining a measure of respect in Europe. Although hubris has yet to make an appearance, can nemesis be far behind?

Pessimistic, as ever, HW. Let's celebrate another famous win by a Scottish team. It was wonderful to watch.

The Tic'll get gubbed tonight mind...
And no, that's not pessimism.

Isn't it great how the SNP have made all these great sporting results a reality for us all.... ;)
