Day of the Ginger

Saturday is looming large on the horizon and the passion and enthusiasm for the game is likely to be as fiery as the ginger locks on display. Our very own Ginger Nut, Cap'n Lennon, is leading the team out for his 3rd derby and hopefully 2nd derby win of the season. Wee Strach's team is looking sharp and very much in form so the Ginger Guvnor must be feeling very happy with himself. Stealthy Ginger John Hartson is looking for goal numero 101 and seems to have got over his domestic troubles.

However there's a certain GinGer (see what I did there!!) who probably isn't sleeping quite as well as the rest (with the possible exception of Monsieur Hartson who's camp bed in the doghouse can't be doing his back any favours). Mr.McLeish is up sh1t creek and not even a Prso-shaped paddle can save him now. He's received the backing of his chairman and has a generous 5 days to turn it around with upcoming games against minnows Celtic and Porto. Gingerphiles can relax though coz McLeish's potential replacement is rumoured to be none other than Everton Manager and Duncan Ferguson adopted father, David 'not in europe anymore' Moyles.

The ginger one from Girls Aloud was unavailable for comment.
