don't you hate all the people who come in with there version of new arranged teams for sat, more than likely the team will be the same as normal, who haven't lost a game (spl) so why change.

mcgregor
whittaker gioan bocanegra wallace
mckay davis edu papac
lafferty jelavic

subs on
wylde mcculloch bedoya

I agree that the team wont change, but why have sasa wide left. All he does is get the ball turn back and either pass sideways or backwards. If your going to play him , play him left back where he should be.

we talk about giving our young ones a a run but as long as we play people out of position i.e. sasa its never going to happen. I can see why he wants to play this system after all we have Barca coming to ibrox on saturday

Wylde is banned, so it will not be the same team. Blue4ever

Wallace is also injuredso team will be
mcgregor
whittaker goian boca papac
bartley
edu davis mckay
lafferty

Seep Blatter is quoted saying 'there is no racism in football' and any disputes should be settled with a handshake. What is that guy all about? Is he for real? This guy is running our game aswell. He needs to get the bump after a statement like that.

Show racism the red card, absolutely hate racists.

WATP

Some leagues are exempt from decent morals. At least the SPL is trying to clean up its act which is more than most. No racism... rofl. CheltBlue

spoke to a few rangers fans at work regarding team GB strip and most said they would defo buy it,what did surprise me was that most of them say they would rather have GB as their national team as opposed to Scotland,any thoughts on this guys?

No chance it would always be English players and the media would drive me bonkers, put it this way would u be happy if uefa said rangers and Celtic where to come together, England are Scotland's enemy

To be honest, not many rangers fans want to watch the football that scotland are producing and i stress AT THE MOMENT. if the football was worth watching then maybe the support would be better. i mean 2-1 against cyprus? we should be shafting this lot by 4/5 goals
simple fact is this, other than mcgreggor and fletcher...what other scotland player would be given preference in team GB?

Why are England Scotland's enemy as the guy posted earlier. I've never understood this weird 'we hate the English' mentality. I would happily support a team GB.

GovanFR

..No English hate from me..but there is no way i,d be interested in a team GB..i,m a Rangers supporting Scotsman and in football for me theres only one national team...

I'm a gers fan and I'm proud to be Scottish. I will watch and support Scotland no matter how they play. Not too fussed about the GB team, I don't hate anybody, some people do my nut in but that's a different story lol.
peace.

pappy

Spain drew with the mighty Costa rica last nite should they nut be putting 5 by them?

I for one could not support scotland with any great passion as i could not bring myself to cheer on anyone in the team who also pulls on a celtic shirt i.e. the clown that is broony ! s.p. {Ed014's Note - That is very sad.

To the "the clown that is broony " poster grow up and no im not a tim....

Scotland always! Even though we're pish and it does my nut in you have to support your team through good times and bad. Rangers and Scotland all the way!

Rossco Cyprus Bear

I'm doing my investigation into the post about the post about broony. I've came to the conclusion that it's some one at the wind up. The reason being is when has ever a Rangers supporter/fan ever called Scott Brown (broony) nice try sp and grow up. It won't be long till Santa comes are you excited?

Just popped into Rangers store at Ibrox their on my way him from work. Just to let everyone know that when I picked up the goalie strip for my son and went to pay for it I got asked if I was a season ticket holder and could I show her my smart cards. So I ran out to the car for it showed her the season tickets and to my surprise she said to me its buy one get one free. So I went and got my son the away strip aswell Ya Dancer :-). I got 2 full strips for £60. Get yourself over there bears. Don't forget your season tickets.

Followfollow81

Is it 60 pound for a football top now? What a rip off

£35 for the goalie top £16 for the shorts £9 for the socks and get any other strip for free. I think the adult tops are £40. If your son or daughter is a member of the junior club take the membership with you and you will get 10% off.
Followfollow81

No if you read the post right it is 2 strips for £60 quid read the post right

campbell

Yeah but 60 pound without a season ticket smart arse

£60 for a full kit not just a top.

European clubs can break away from UEFA in 2014. This has prompted some clubs in the European Club Asocciation to discuss the prospect of a European league. Barcelona have pushed this idea today according to Graham Hunter at a meeting with the ECA. They want to reduce the size of La Liga to approx 16 teams and for domestic league games to be played midweek. Allowing a european league fixture to take place at the weekend. Obviously Barca are at a different level, as are the likes of Man Utd, Bayern, AC, Inter ect. But this could maybe present the opportunity for other european outwith "the elite" to forge a similar format league. Imagine Rangers and Celtic in a league with Anderlect, Porto, Copenhagen, Rosenberg, Ajax ect? Lets face it the dutch and portugese league lacks the competitive edge as our league does. We could have a league that would generate some serious money, great attendances, attract good calibre of players and of course a competitive edge. I know this is a mile off but if the big clubs are discussing it then theres hope. J1985

But did you read what Barca want aswell? The want to reduce their league to 16 but want an extra 4 places in the champions league. They want all the big countries to have 8 teams in the competition. That wouldn't be goo for the smaller nations. They only want to play the quarter final semi final and final at weekends. They want to do away with friendly matches. I don't think we have a say in it. It wouldn't be good for Scotland.
Followfollow81

Looms like Barca want to push the smaller nations further away. Imo 4 from each big country in the CL is too much and what started our downward euro spiral and the Premiership boom. I agree with the post for the Atlantic League, names like Rangers, Ajax, Rosenborg, PSV, Porto, Lisbon etc etc should be up there above Spurs and Fulham.

Tic fan comming in piece.

Just talking to a few guys in work about jellyfish. Which EPL do you think he will go to & for how much ?

Personally think your looking at 7.5m upwards for him but knowing the EPL & buying players from Scotland would be surprised if it reaches double figures.

Thoughts ?

Lenny

Chelsea- 51m, torres benchwarmer

Sunderland possibly if they lose Gyan on the long term seen as he seems to want away Spurs maybe as they wont be able to afford adebayors wages long term and lack a consistantly scoring striker. Im not sure its hard to predict in football. i wouldnt take any less than 8.5 for him for the simple fact that at this moment in time he is worth that to us with his goals ability and what he gives the team.

BlueStu

He will be overporced i reckon so anything above the 8m marker ... its not so much what he is worth but more what he is worth to rangers .... He is prob our most talented player and a clear stand out up front.. he is 1st choice and an automatic pick, in good form and scoring goals with decne tamount of time on his contract all these factors inflate his price. I dont think this is where he would end up but im thinking of the best team in the league he could get a game for and i honestly think he is just as good a player if not better than Andy Carrol so could see him getting a game for 'pool whether they would be interested or not is another question .. id expect that if he was to go to a team it might be newcastle ... he'd get a game easily there, get good money and they are in good form.

Germinator

Generally, the bigger money transfers don't take place until the summer moves, if we keep hold of Jela until then, I think we could possibly be looking at an easy 10 mil + price tag. Is this wishful thinking, Lenny ? Lol....... Rangers 'Til I die

Not all the time .... in circumstances were a players contract is about to run out then yeah ... but if teams think they must have a player to achieve their goal then expect huge inflation in prices ..... ie torres and carrol .. also teams are le likely to sell during the season so teams need to offer more to get them ..... I think the 8m-10m in xmas (assuming we aint under no pressure to sell) but only bout 7-8m come summer. As he will be further into his contract and there will be more time to pick a replacement who in turn will prb be cheaper etc ..

Germinator

Jelavic has stated that he would only consider a move to a top 6 EPL team. Quite honestly i think the guy is better than most of the strikers at these teams but Rangers will have to be realistic with their price tag. 9m would be a fair price.

to teh question posted yesterday about Penny Arcade, i had a wee ask around the guys from my bus who are involved with supportersd clubs about it. they came up with the explaination it did come into fashion lately as a wind up to celtic BUT as a sly dig at oursleves. effectivley we're ripping ourselves and laughing at them, highlighting the fact we're skint, have no money yet still produce success. there's no bigitory or sectarianism involved.
the line "roll up and spend your last dime" is aimed at ourselves.

Souness, Arteta, Weir, Adam, Kanchelskis, Gough, Kyriakos, Gazza, Stubbs,Dalgleish.....Shocked at how much i'm struggling with this 1, there must be at least 10 more???
J1985 {Ed014's Note - Duncan Ferguson,Mark Walters,Vignal,Nigel Spackman,Avi Cohen(not sure),Alex Clelland,Michael Ball,Gary Steven,Trevor Stevens,Andy Gray, Ian Durrant(not sure), Gary Gillespie, Robbie Keane, Craig Bellamy.}

Alex Clelland...was he at Everton? I should have got Ball, Ferguson, Stevens and Walters. Vignal's a great shout Ed, forgot he playerd for Liverpool. J1985 {Ed014's Note - I'll admit Ed007 helped me out :-) his memory is better than mine.

Charlie adam

Billy Stevenson in the 60's

Stuart mcall

Thomas Gravesen

El hadj diouff

Thomas gravesen(spelling)

Boom Factoid (well not a factoid but he did play 12 games for us and 29 for everton, can someone clarify)

Rikkisixx

Who could forget Mo Johnston

What about Andy dibble and john Spencer? Think there was a danish goalkeeper Thomas myhre

Kenny miller {Ed014's Note - Did you even read the thread?

Frank mcgarvey ? duncan ferguson ?

16 Nov 2011 12:49:10
Why would we want him? We've got somebody better (on the bench) and on probably 1/10 of the wages.


David Healy.

SAD but if rangers go into ad.. then they cant be called rangers anymore, is this right?, help ma boab.

I think you may be right, under certain circunstances.

We'll always be Rangers. We'll always be Scotland's most successful club and we'll always have supporters who love the club. More than a club.

Stop posting about administration its not goin to be decided til jan so give it a rest. Alex cee

Portsmouth went into admin and I'm sure they're still called portsmouth. If it was liquidation then we'd have 2 change name but that ain't gonna happen.

So did motherwellk and dundee

My team for sat

Shagger
Broadfoot, weir, goian, Wallace
Ortiz, edu, mcculloch, Davis, papac
Jelavic

Weir is a legend but splitting up a defensive pair that have served so well this season just to keep a player happy is pointless. I love big Davi but the team comes first

Ortiz ?? - GTF mate

Ur teams a bit defensive for a home game ! Only one striker?

Id have Weir and Ortiz in before Broadfoot, McMillan should be starting if Whittaker is out...he is twice the player Broadfoot will ever be.

Bazza Bear

Correct mate, Ortiz is a WORLD CLASS winger, give him time to settle in.

Ortiz ?............ never heard of him ! Is he a killer whale ? Our new mascot ? Broxi Bear will be furious, Ortiz ! LMAO

16 Nov 2011 08:31:32
Won't be long until the wee Irish guy from FARE shops us again tic for tat, the tims couldn't edit distance themselves from us when we got charged with songs now theyb are getting charged is both our faults, this is Celtics problem and we have nothing to answer.

Thats because you have answered to it about half a dozen times before. Can you remind me who has been puished for this sort of behaviour before. I agree with the investigation there is no need for thias sort of sing at a football game.

why are yous aw saying rhodes wont sign for rangers , i met whittys dad today when i had snowy down the beach and he says rangers are in for rhodes so watch this space cos whittys dad is never wrong.
wullie ohara

Alright tell snowy the dug was asking for him and visit more often

Can snowy predict the game results like the octopus in the world cup, get a few bets on

Whitteys dad not say we would sign goodwillie? Look what happened there. Epl for Rhodes.

Was beginning to get a bit worried not heard from snowy in a while.thought he might of been off to the big pound in the sky
