This kinda feels like I'm basically posting a BBC press release here, but for anyone interested Sportscene is showing the Masters live on 14 November, which is in Aberdeen this year - not Augusta. Aberdeen, Dundee United, Celtic and Rangers are the four teams. Six-a-side. So not just the treble this year but the quadruple up for grabs. Aberdeen: Russell Anderson, Eoin Jess, Joe Lewis, Derek Young, Jonny Hayes, Gavin Rae, Kevin McNaughton and Lee Miller. Rangers: Barry Ferguson, Jermain Defoe, Kris Boyd, Lee McCulloch, Graham Dorrans, Pedro Mendes, Roy Carroll and Dean Sheils. Celtic: Stiliyan Petrov, Scott Brown, Charlie Mulgrew, Simon Donnelly, Gary Hooper, Darren O’Dea, Joe Ledley and Michael McGovern. Dundee United: Willo Flood, Mark Wilson, Craig Conway, Gary Kenneth, John Rankin, Jon Daly, Danny Swanson, Paul Gallacher I dunno if we want separate match threads for each game to piss off Rico? Anyway, be good to see Eoin Jess and Kevin McNaughton in particular again in Aberdeen shirts. Dunno why Scott Brown is turning out for Celtic, presumably couldn't get in the Dons team.

I'm not quite sure how I managed to completely miss the Hibs connection with all those three. Impressive.

They are equally horrific shouts, but Lennon, Mowbray and Brown are not only ex-Celtic but also ex-Hibs. Mowbray is unrealistic anyway because of his health issues and he doesn't want to manage in Scotland, but I can't see Hearts appointing a former Hibs manager anyway. As for Lennon and Brown, they are both despised in Gorgie. It'd be like Aberdeen going for Durrant or Hateley. Not a hope Hearts ever consider them, and I doubt either man will be putting their name forward either.
