The Scottish football landscape is full of statements that are sure to get people talking.

Firstly on the back of their victory in Sunday’s Glasgow derby win, Kyle Lafferty has claimed Rangers are the best team in Scotland.

Despite trailing rivals Celtic by 18 points in the league table, the Northern Ireland international feels his side “have best young players and the best old players.”

Another one to get tongue’s wagging is Thomas Rogne’s assertion that Cha Du Ri’s challenge on Lee Wallace wasn’t a foul, never mind a red card.

And finally ahead of tonight’s SPL game with St Johstone, Inverness CT boss Terry Butcher has labelled his top scorer Gregory Tade “phenomenal” after he hit in ninth league goal of the campaign at the weekend.
