Oh what a result! The best in our history, Gauld had to be played as a makeshift striker and he smashed in a hattrick and will definitly be used as a striker more often.

As you can see we had a very busy month including progressing well in 3 different competitions and as you can see Gauld bagged another brace upfront right after the PSG game but are bogey team Ross County managed to ****** another point off us!

I wouldnt worry about that! If Celtic who will probably have a better squad and financial set up cant challenge then i doubt Rangers will. In my last 2 saves they took a good few year just to get back into the top 3
Yeah hopefully that will be the case, This will be Celtic's biggest challenge against us next season as they have already spent ?12million on new players.

So we draw Napoli in the Semi Finals but at this point all of the teams left were going to be decent but after this amazing run we have got to see ourselves as favourites.

Despite a rather heavy 4-0 win it was an even game with the only difference being our strikers finishing with the likes of Hamsik, Griezmann and Higuian struggling in front of goal.

A bore draw but it was a brilliant defensive display by my side as we already had the 4 goals in the bag from the first leg we set our stall out and defended for most of the match but have now reached the first Europa League Final in the clubs history.

Wow! 14.1.1 has ruined my tactics AGAIN! I refuse to play it for now
I like to try and use Kuns Truly Tika Taka Tactic for most of the league and easy cup games as its so dominant going forward and gets you plenty of chances in front of goal, Like MatthewElphinstone above though this tactic seems to work on some patches and then not on others and is really only designed for dominant teams in rubbish leagues. i play my own defense minded tactics when i play teams that are better than me with a basic 4-4-2 with the two central midfielders dropping back into a DMC role. hope thid helps

What a game! We dominated most of the match with the better possesion but it looked like the dream was over when they scored with 10 minutes to go but it was one of our young Scottish stars Souttar that grabbed a very late equalizer to take it to extra time and then onto penalties.
It was a massive penalty shootout as it went to sudden death and some players took more than 1 penalty, It turned out to be our RB Keith Watson who scored the final penalty which saw us lift the Europa League and secure the Double.

I think you can really see the squad rotation come into play here with the main bulk of my squad playing 15 odd less games than the first choice GK. Which means most players missed a quarter of the games we played which wasnt helped by injuries.

What a season for the 32 year old legendary striker, He did exactly what i expected of him and cemented his place in the team while the other strikers tried to keep up with him, Im not sure if hes got another season in him though.
Player of the Season - Ryan Dow

He played almost 50 games this season for us and was our main creative force laying on 31 assists this season! Again he works well in my team but hes not seen as one of the best players in his position by the *** Man but i will keep playing him until im proved wrong.
Young Player of the Season - John Souttar

Hes set to become a legend at the club if he keeps this up, Hes one of our best players and at only 19 is only going to improve, He is brilliant going forward and has bashed in 10 goals this season and already has 10 International Caps to his name.
Right so off to work now up next will be all the Awards then i can get back to the transfers for the new season.
