Default

2020/21 Season
Rodriguez arrives from Mallorca for 90k. He is honestly worth millions with amazing stats. A real steal :D I reckon he'll get first cap this year for Argentina.
Vitolo, Marco Aurelio, Dillon, Di Palma, Green, Matthews, Butcher all arrive to bulk up the squad with promising youth. None are too special yet. Maybe one or two will turn really good.

July to October
We sail through the second qualifying round for Champions League with 9-1 against Skonto.
We then beat Galatasaray in third qualifying round first leg, but get trounced 4-1 away and go into UEFA Cup. Bit of a disappointment.

Meanwhile, our league start is poor. 2 wins, 2 losses, 3 draws in first seven games. Although Rangers are really struggling with 1 point.
Craig Walton arrives from Hearts for 4m on deadline day. We need him to bolster our defence.

In the cups though, we're cruising and Anichebe is loving it. 5-0 vs Dinamo in first leg with Anichebe grabbing 4. Then a 8-0 trouncing of Falkirk in League Cup. Anichebe grabbing 5!!

Our form picks up and we win the next four league games. Anichebe is scoring for fun. He grabs another 4 vs Gretna. Good times for him. We also draw against Dinamo putting us in the group stages of UEFA Cup.

Our UEFA Cup group...
PSV, Fiorentina, Sparta Prague, Elfsborg.
Ouch.

We scrape 2-1 win over Elfsborg... but then get trounced 7-1 in the league to Hibernian. Shocking performance.

We luckily manage to scrape two more league wins before end of October.


November to December

We kick off November with a great win. We were reduced to 10 men after 2 minutes! We go 2-0 down at HT, but Landini scores a hat trick as we manage to get a 4-3 win over Sparta Prague.

We go on an atrocious run leading to the 27 December.
We go out of League Cup to Kilmarnock.
Draw 0-0 with Fiorentina (good result though as we qualify)
1-1 Partick
2-2 Dunfermline
1-1 Hearts
0-4 PSV (we qualify 2nd from our group)
1-4 Inverness

All of that before we win 3-2 at Rangers (really struggling in 8th) and 2-0 over Dundee Utd.


January / February

The new year marks arrival of Wagner from Brazil. A promising midfielder at age of 18.
We lose to Kilmarnock (again) before notching up 3-1 Scottish Cup win over Stirling and revenge on Hibs with 4-1 win.

I then sign Broz (keeper) for 8 million as we concede way too many goals. He is a revelation as we keep three clean sheets in a row with 1 win and 1 draw in league and beating St Mirren in Scottish Cup.

That takes us up to end of January where I sign two young midfielders from Porto to bolster the squad (plus the fact they're really good at 17 and 18).

Our form returns to our usual rocky self... 1-2 vs Partick.
2-0 vs Sunderland in UEFA Cup
2-3 vs Dunfermline where we scored 4 of the goals.

Phew... long post that. Anyway to summarise.
Poor season so far.
4th in League. 9 points behind. Ouch.
Landini has 31 goals... Anichebe has 28.
Rodriguez has also become an amazing internatonal player with 3 caps and 3 assists, 1 MOM and a goal.
