A Good September?

So after Wednesdays excuse of a game its back to business now for the Gers and with yesterdays UEFA Cup draw it looks like it could be a good September for the club. In fact apart from Wednesday it has been a good week for the club. The fact we made a profit for one is a sign that we are out of the woods financially and that we now know not to go down the road of overspending again. I t was fun while it lasted but with the huge losses on the balance sheet it didn't make for a healthy dose of reading. Lets hope some of the profit goes to strengthening the team or the youth structure.

The UEFA cup draw has been kind to us and while I have a feeling that there may be banana skin potential, this is one tie that we do not looking like losing. We now have a relatively healthy squad and with all the competition for places in the team and the desire that we are seeing now, I cannot realistically see us losing but it may be a tight game due to typical gay Norwegian tactics. They are bottom of the Norwegian top flight and only got into Europe due to winning the cup and as we have seen the past few years from Scottish teams anyway, teams that get in through that door usually do badly.

On to tomorrow then and its Killie away. The major change is that Burke is out after the reckless challenge from some guy called Fernando Ricksen caused damage to the same ankle he injured in South Africa. Leitzi may be out after having hamstring problems, but other than that I think it will be almost the same as last weeks line up that did so well.
