As a rangers season ticket holder of many years I was having a debate at half time at yesterday's game against arbroath with many of my rangers buddies regarding what is andy little's best position ie. thru the middle or out wide, I personally think he's a good finisher and I think his best position is most definitely thru the middle, I like nicky clark but I think at this moment in time andy little is the better striker of the 2 and daly & little should be the rangers striker partnership, so I'm throwing the same question out to the rangers fans tonight, what do you guys think?Novo10

Andy Little is a cf no doubt about it and not a bad one at that. Ally played him at lm and Peralta at rm against Arbroath because both can defend a bit. This was to compensate for playing two strikers which he hates doing. We had Mckay and Templeton on the bench (wingers)but don't track back so are bombed out. Imo we should play Little andDaly up front and at least one out and out winger every week. jmgers

Andy Little is better at centre forward, but Nicky Clark scored a barrow load of goals for Queen of the South and the possibility would to play Macleod Law Peralta with Clark behind the front two. Templeton also can play in behind the 2 Strikers.
Selection Dilemma for Ally.

Can't believe you debated this! Little is clearly better through the middle and should never be played out wide in front of Templeton. Rangers looked far more dangerous going forward when Templeton came on and it just goes to show how poor a manager McCoist is by starting without Templeton and playing Little wide

On Ian Black situation We have heard from both the SFA, and from Ally and as a Rangers supporter i'm disappointed in what both had to say, the sentence was not enough to deter any other player from let's be honest? cheating.
Also i'm not convinced Ally was being honest in his interview when he said he has no issue picking the player. Well Ally I've watched this player all last season and I think the player has had more than enough chances at Glasgow Rangers. I witnessed the player give his own supporters in the east enclosure obscene hand gestures when they gave him stick for pulling OUT of a tackle.
The player is not Rangers class on or off the park.
Lets hear from the player now, let's hear it from him how sorry he is and how he has let everybody down. Most importantly let's hear what he is going to do to change his way.

@op agree with what you are saying, I gamble on the horses and dogs and also the boxing, and you hear of jockeys not riding out, and boxers throwing fights, and when they`re caught it almost always ends up in a lifetime ban or a very very long one and I don`t see any difference in this case against black, okay he got a 3 game ban and a fine but that is never going to stop him doing it again, he may say he won`t but barlinnie and other prisons are full of people who say that.
and as for ally standing by him as he`s one of the team well that just doesn`t wash for me.
too many things getting held behind closed doors at ibrox, someone with b@lls should open them doors up and tell the fans what`s really going on in there.

Hi m8, I have to say I don't like Black one little bit and he simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny as a gers man. not a bit, I would however like to say the only article written on this matter I actually totally agree with was written in todays mail by none other than "tam cowan who said he basically can't believe the nonsense written and said about Blacks indescretion, I agree, according to Cowan the evidence is laughable, one was betting hearts would draw with liverpool, when he wasnt playing, another against m, well when he wsnt playing and another when he had a draw in the gers game he came on as a sub and scord in fior us I might add, now could it be? given the evidence that Black being a footie player didn't realise he cpouldnt bet on any games,? could he have believed he could bet on games he wasnt playing in? and thought as he was a sub it would be ok, Ludicrous I know but McCoist hant put his neck on the line for nothing here surely, and Black ain't know "Prize asset" is he, however I agree I don't want him at ibrox, but as a daily punter i'm slightly uncomfortable with the apparent uproar and gasps from sum people, (now Lennons stuck his oar in after saying he wouldn't be talking about Rangers again ), I have a cousi who was aberdeens leading scorer in the 80, s a sellik fnatic, I used to put his bets on sellik every week, inc when he was up against them, I know it don't make it right but we really need to get back to the big issues at ibrox, not blacks coupon, and maybe now the union bears will stop cheering when the person slaps the badge on his jersey

How is it cheating? Don't get me wrong it's out of order to bet against your own team but he hasn't cheated.

I agree with this post. Black is not Rangers class. He is a thug on the park and appears to have little in the way of morals off it. Reminds me of that other thug Joey Barton. For goodness sake McCoist get a grip!

@2 big deal Lennon put his oar in! Why "people" like you are so obsessed with this guy beggars belief and you should try growing up!
The fact of the matter is mate, it is against the rules for players to bet on games! Why the feck is that so hard for "people" like you to fecking understand! I am sure a "person" like you would be jumping up and down if it was a Celtic player and icy it deny that I call you a liar! Let alone if it was Lennon, god you and your ilk would be falling over each other to jump up and down!
Or, is this because it is a The Rangers player and for some reason as the past couple of years have proven that you are above the law! But I understand that it must be hard to have all of this "news" dragged out inths open whereas in the past it was kept safely indoors with the help of a friendly media! Welcome to every other football supporters out with your two rancid clubs mate!

You TB, want to start growing up mate!

Worst kind of whitaboutery

Black is a clown who admitted he cheated
SFA shirked their duty and handed a paltry punishment that amounted to a weeks holiday without pay

To suggest that, because your cousin did something similar 30 years ago it is somehow justified, is obscene.

Have the guts to say its wrong and condemn the fool for bringing the name of the club into the gutter.
