Kris Boyd is a goal machine any body that doesn't rate him must be off there head if he comes you will know what your getting un like Beattie Ortiz Healy so Boyd is the safe bet and all you people should know it

How many goals as he scored since he left the Gers ?, Is he going to come back the same player ?

To paraphrase the bionic man"he's bigger,fatter,lazier" green jhedi

Wits going at IBROX its oot of order SORT IT OOT WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS and proud of it ! We Deserve to know Deserve better cw

You should probably try making sense before you post.

Classic rant mate .... Senseless but pure classic

A lot of fans forgetting one thing. Craig Whyte is probably not too worried about finishing second this season because it still guarantees Champions League qualification.

So in an ideal scenario we win the tax case, sell Jelavic
after the Euros and qualify for Champions League.

That would allow us to spend a bit of money.

What about the poss euro ban? either for admin or audited accounts not submitted? you are wading thru treacle! in whyte you trust?

You will be banned from europe for 3 years...no CL I'm afraid.

Nae europe if we go bust matie

Do your homework mate.

Oranjeboom

1 year euro ban for adminstration, 3 years ban for insolvency. Accounts audited not signed off by accountants Deloits due to tax case, which wouldnt give a true reflection of the financial situation at Rangers. It wouldn't be Craig Whyte's decison not to submit audited accounts, it would be the accountants and only theirs

I thought grant thornton were rangers accountants for the signing off and thats why they parted company?

26 Jan 2012 19:45:01
Ostriches, looks like jellyfish doing a "rapid" again, never showed up for training today, looks like he has downed tools again oh dearie me, but never mind as you all know Whyte has a Plan! lol Timalloy

You heard this where, not on the news? Blue4ever

Apparently on local radio, see also Celtic rumours tonight 19.24.38 our ED007 talking about it LOL Timalloy
Headlines in papers tomorrow
Rangers in "Rapid" decline! hail hail

STV News at 6.00p.m. reported that Jelavic never turned up for training today.

26 Jan 2012 19:13:18
Who cares how much money we could get for jelly fish, we would be as well selling him for less than a million as we're going to get heehaw of that money to reinvest, so basically we should take a chance and keep him and if he gets injured we haven't lost anything anyway.
Hope the tax case is over either way soon and whyte as we all no he'll do, buggers off.

26 Jan 2012 19:05:22
Posted before but was ignored. Can't understand if whyte wants to cash in on jela, why didn't he take the money pre season that was offered to the club? Also being so close to administration as we clearly are, then why are we not biting the arm off whu for the 7 million, we are in same position as Portsmouth. We need cash

Quite simple. Whyte was banking on a European run to provide cashflow. This didn't happen so he now NEEDS to sell Jelavic.

26 Jan 2012 18:12:39
Absolutely loving this transfer window seeing the mighty gers scrape about the bottom of the barrell trying to find anyone willing to play for them for a total crap wage it really is laughable to see you lot say lets sell this one or that one then buy this one or that one when in reality you wont be buying ANYONE!! Your skint! Roookit! And i for one am loving it get it right round ye!!

And how much money have the mighty seltic spent?

Is that not what Celtic have done over the past two seasons?

.......signed as many players as possible who will play for them?

How many players have Celtic signed in the last month?

Ya clown!!

TTG

We dont need to spend ya plum.... Oh and by tha way were debt free and also dont owe the tax man a fortune!

Another mankey mob supporter with no name well here is one for you GUTLESS

GERman

Celtic haven't exactly got millions to spend either pal. Could have saved 2 million jimmies on that nugget Bangura and had some left to spend.

BB

I see none of you clowns denying the fact your scrapping barrels .... Lol yeha loving every last second of it roll on the admistrators!!!

And lol at German moaning about posters with no name... Bless.... Lets make a silly wee name up like GERman and pretend to be hard!!

And you are soft in the head i take it comments like that just make me laugh cause people like you that cant put a name to your post is pure 100% GUTLESS and unlike you i dont have to pretend im hard like you and if you dont like whats said about you stick to your own mankey mob page LOL

GERman

And you are?? At least GERman has the balls to put his name on his posts and if you don't like what he says about you don't read it

Can't believe the amount of people claiming Jelavic ISN'T worth the money Rangers want. His goal scoring record is fantastic. Agreed that scoring tap-ins against the likes of St Johnstone won't inflate his value but scoring winners in cup finals, goals of the season, free kicks, headers, volleys, having 2 good feet, a good touch and a decent work ethic will. He's the most complete striker we've had on the books for years and he's still only 26. Anyone who thinks Hutton, Boumsong, Gordon, McGeady etc are all better than Jelavic is having a girraffe. THAT is why we are holding out for more money for the big man.

BB

The problem with Jelavic is his lack of pace and that is what is putting EPL clubs off.

The guy is only worth what another team is willing to pay for him.
At the moment there are no offers - one from West Ham may have been rejected who knows?..but none at the moment
Anything else at this stage is hypothetical!

His goal records not great all in he's scored 66 goals in ten years a lot of that's been in the spl and you all think he's worth 10 mill

26 Jan 2012 16:53:03
Anyone else think our lack of goals from midfield is shocking? Don't think even hits double figures. Maybe time Davis etc got their finger out

No need for etc Davis should try and score a single goal. It's odd that he gets to hit free kicks and hasn't even scored a goal this season eh?

GovanFR

Yeh it is shocking wee need sum1 in there that can get us goal an chances davis should be the won but he aint producing it a think he played better on the right wing since he came in 1 he has been rotten

Davis might not have scored a goal yet this season but he has 10 assissts, the most in the SPL so far. 10 assissts are just as good as 10 goals....he is still doing his part for the team.

It isn't Davis who needs to get his finger out, he needs his midfield partner, Ed, to partake in more phases of play, rather than running into blind allays and not looking for the pass!!

TTG

26 Jan 2012 16:41:35
Can't decide if we are better selling or keeping jelavic , wat use think would be best for our club

I think you will find we have no option what we have go to hope for is a decent replacement for funds released after the transfer i think 7m is wide off of mark as a couple of players were thrown in to take it up to the value bb blue

To stop us from going completely bust I would sell every single one of them and use the under 19 team. No man is bigger than the club. Plus they can't be much worse to watch at the moment!!

team for hibs:
----------------mcgregor------------------
bartley------goian------boca------papac

----------------mcCulloch------------------------davis-------------edu----------

aluko-------------jelavic---------mervan

subs:alexander
wallace
wylde
healy
kerkar
mcmillan
bedoya
with 3 cm we should easily win any midfield battle bartley does'nt offer anything goin forward so let him concentrate on defending, with jig an edu sitting davis can push on more and link the ball between sone and mervan and the 3 can create countless opportunity's for jela to smash home! *ksd*

Agree about the 3 CM....wouldn't have Jig in though - would be inclined to give either Bedoya or McKay a start.

So you're saying we should have 7 defensive players on the pitch and 1 striker against a pish Hibs side?

Mckay is on his way out the door he will never play for rangers again what don't people get about that, yeh bedoya cud b a shout but ally more likely to play jig, and where is the 7 defensive players im sayin play sone jela and merv up front davis in behind pulling the strings sasa can get up left in support having jig edu and bartley will give these players more freedom getting forward and staying forward, it's more attacking than last week we had 2 left backs 3 centre backs healy making up the numbers! watp *ksd*

Davis is not pulling any strings HE'S HIDING. He hasn't played a good game as captain. Wake up Ally take the arm band from him he's playing like a frightened wee boy

The team i think McCoist will play on Sat is:

McGregor

Bartley Goian Boca Papac

Aluko Davis Edu Wallace

Kerkar

Healy

For some reason I don't think Jelavic will be playing, whether he is here or not.

I'm going to predict that McCoist's first two changes in the game will be Wylde for Wallace and Celik for Kerkar, purely because he so predictable.

We need a gd result at the wknd, no less than 3-0. Sadly, I don't think this going to happen. Hibs are rank rotten on current form, everyone and their granny has been scoring into them, but, they will come to Ibrox and do what Aberdeen done.....defend. I think it's going to be a struggle.

TTG

Agree with OP formation and most of the players, except Jig and Bartley.

pappy

Agree with the first comment

Bartley is a lump of wood playing at right back. Must have read the Jocky Bjorklund book on attacking. He makes Clubfoot look like Sandy Jardine. Bartley gets caught out of position e.g. Aberdeen goal. Give McMillan a chance or why not try Ortiz at full back.

26 Jan 2012 15:42:51
Sell off all the high earners
Freeze season ticket prices for five years
Cap the wages
Develop youth players

How many do you think would turn up at ibrox?

Oranjeboom

First team plus subs and management

Stadium would be half empty - as it currently is anyway.

Scottybhoy

Too many dhims on this site. Worry about your own team having no bottle. No money,no players and still league champions. Four in a row, we are the people

Half empty ? What dream are you in 45,000 minimum - it's parkshed that's always half empty

Don't think so Spotty boy 45,000 at least every week didn't know Ibrox held 90,000? Jog on now there's a good boy.

Billyboy1

Scottbhoy,

Half empty? Are you getting Ibrox and Celtic Park mixed up by any chance?

TTG

Whyte contacts Romanov for financial advice.

Oh dear Mr Whyte. this is much worse than anything I have done before - your on your own.

Who is doing bains job ? Is it that clown smudger or whyte himself? Whoever it is have turned us into a laughing stock, we offer absolute pittence for players whose clubs probably don't even read our " emailed" bids anymore yet we want a fortune for a player who's form is terrible probably thanks to all the speculation we have created. Everytime we go in for or try selling players it turns into f::: ing river city episode... Get Bain back!

Bain was a useless arrogant greedy egotistic smug tango man

Martin Bain was very good when it came to signing players and dealing with contracts. He gets a lot of criticism but if I was sacked from a job without a reason I would look for compensation.

GovanFR

Martin Bain sold players for buttons and along with others he is culpable for our present situation

Let's be honest the worst sales man in the world could have sold the mighty Glasgow Rangers to top players during the 90's. To top this the Tango man had hidden bank acounts and off-shore payments to offer players who may have considered other options but where swayed with these insentives offered by both Bain and Murray! I am sure Mr Bain has made a fortune from our club(salary & "insentives") however when his time was up he instructs lawyers to ring fence money only he thinks he has a right to. He is part of the reason our great club is in the mess it is in.

Have him back!! You must be having a laugh!!

I think you'll find it was Campbell Ogilvie who was at the helm when the tax avoidance shenanigans started.

It was murray

26 Jan 2012 14:22:54
You know...for ages now i have contributed to this site and enjoyed all the banter and rumours that go back and forward. But now, i am so frustrated almost at the point of greetin that i dont know what to think of my beloved club. i just wish we would get some kind of indication as to the real mess i.e. Tax bill plus whatever else is going on behind the scense so we can deal with it. All this cloak and dagge stuff is dragging this great institution into the gutter and im sick of it. I can only see a downward spiral for our club...as Jim Bett mentioned the times before the souness era! Then we will see where the trus rangers supporters are! Transparency is required and where is "fight" from the supporters trust, this who represent us the fans? We need some idea as to what is going on.

26 Jan 2012 14:13:27
Hi Ed,

What's the deal Mervan Celik? Is he cleared to play at the wknd?

TTG {Ed001's Note - I believe he got his international clearance through ok, I have not heard of any issues anyway.}

Thanks for clearing that Ed.

According to the "others" Celik's former club were demanding that the clearance isn't granted as Rangers still haven't paid the compensation fee. Clearly, this was another myth LMAO!

TTG

I thought his club is due compensation,they have to be paid before he gets clearance,its about 250,000,where do we get that from,miserable whyte wont pay it,and please no more tims on here saying he will have to pay it himself,that joke is wearing a bit thin now....trueblue....

Trueblue: AIG musta been paid if he's in the squad for sat. green jhedi

He will have to pay it himself.

But has it been paid?

I'm sure it wasn't paid the DR would have been all over it like a rash.......

rangers should take a leaf out of wee fergus mccanns book,a few dodgy seasons but at the end of it you could be fiancially stable instead of wondering who yous are going to sign next,the title isn`t more important than your team surley? and lets be honest your not going to sign anybody worth while or thats going to change your season. all these so called loyal supporters need to give thereselfs a shake and stop living in the past and get their heads round the fact that their is no money to there to buy the league anymore,HH

The difference with Whyte and McCan is McCan had money! and lots of it! McCan also didnt have a 50m liability over his head. Our best hope is someone like Fergus McCan comes in at the last min if we lose the taxcase and saves us. I think that WILL happen.

J

Any money they have is mine and I'm coming for it!

J; i make you right i think there might be someone lurking in the shadows.just cant see why he would buy if not.green jhedi

It wont happen because CW makes more money selling Rangers with no debt...which he will be able to do once Rangers have come out the other side of administration.

26 Jan 2012 12:38:08
Maybe a good thing naismiths injured coz if he wasn't he'd be a epl player rite now ... Price ? I would say 12 mill

Hahhaaahahahhahhahaaha, up yer medication mate

If he kept up his form I think clubs would be sniffing around

J

LOLOL another one on the glue,is this a special at ibrox this stuff ? Seems like if rangers fan has lost touch with common sence?

A don't like Naismith but credit to him he's a good player.12m tho ? Try half that. Remember it's the spl would be surprised if any player from the old firm would go for anywhere near 10m.

Lenny

Near 10 mill no chance you say Gordon Hutton McGeady spring to mind but jenny you keep making your ill informed statements for a tiny bit of attention.You trully are a plasterer.Shaun H

Ffs.no wonder gers are in debt,all their players must,ve cost a fortune.naisy?12m?are you insane?artybhoy

Rumours have it that ally is asking season ticket holders to bring there boots at the weekend to be in the squad. Only down fall is you've to go to the club shop and buy the full strip yourself (giro's not excepted)so that's 99% of use not getting a strip!!!seriously do rangers fans think they'll be challenging for a top 6 next year?get a grip. Rusty the tim

What have Celtic won nothing - an if I was you I wouldn't be so confident! Your teams full of bottle merchants! Let's see where u are after the next weeks after you've played hearts an caley have knocked you out AGAIN! Celtic - Scotland's worst helper in the co-effeciant rankings... Fool

How did your europe adventure go this year..................oh thats right it didnt.green jhedi

How did yours go green ged-eye, Through the back door?

TTG

Rangers didn't help much with the co-efficient this year. Celtic did more than Rangers so that argument is nonsense.

Memory lapse jedhi LOL

Jhedi - uz got in the back door, nothing to be proud of!

Jas

Poster number 2 on the subject of bottles I would like to point out that as far as we at HMRC are concerned these are not legal tender and we will not accept them as payment.

Back door! we got in cos a team cheated n violated UEFA rules,thats why they were punished.thank ghod none of our teams would resort to sneaky underhand tricks...........wait a minute something sounds familiar here.green jhedi.......mind the gap

Your ranting again green snake eye, medication time!
Coconut Airways.

What underhand tricks would that be? I suppose, as usual, you are claiming that Rangers have never, EVER won anything farely?

Of course you are, you are a Celtic fan green ged-eye, Celtic are always cheated.....never defeated!!

TTG

Coconut! still trying to alter my tag i see?shame your not very good at it eh? no ranting mate just facts.wish you would explain yours cos it might be construed as slighty racist,is that your dark secret? you are right tho it is medication time.large john daniels and ice thanks.always nice to hear from you but remember..............mind the gap. green jhedi

TTG: of course not.every team suffers bad decisions in a season n usually the better team wins the league.but you cant deny your in a mess because of underhand dealings in payments to players. you and i have to pay taxes n i dont think you earn 10k per week(i dont) so why should your team use off shore payment systems to line already wealthy players pockets? i take it you were angry at bankers bonus's? much the same thing. green jhedi

Green Jhedi,

If I had it in me to evade paying taxes I'd freaking do it, I think every one on this forum would agree. Thousands of companies all over Britain use off-shore accounts to line already wealthy pockets. Even banks have off-shore accounts. Don't be surprised of Dermot Dermot and Peter Lawwell have themselves some off-shore accounts........

(the intelligent Celtic fan) as much as I would love to see rangers go to the wall I think the consequences for scottish football would be severe. as I blame rangers for the state of the spl and the national team I think they really need to take a hard look at themselves for spending what they didn't have by bringing in terrible foreigners trying to buy championships and not producing home grown talent like Celtic.we've lost out on a generation of young footballers for rangers put them on the scrap pile now they boys have now lost all confidence in themselves.the national team strugglin now because of use with only the other 11 teams trying to produce Scottish talent.the quicker the business men take there head out there xxxx and phone Peter lawwell and ask how to run a successful business we can all move forward. Rusty the tim

Talk about conspiracy theories

So tell me crusty the tim,

How is Rangers' fault that the SPL and Scottish national team are in the state that it is in.....and what homegrown talent have Celtic produced? To my knowledge there is ONE homegrown player in the Celtic team at the moment!

Your post isn't intelligent in the slightest.

TTG

What a load of complete tosh. Give us a list of young players "developed" by Celtic.

Go on.

How many Scottish players are in the Celtic team.

Go on.

Oranjeboom.

And during the O'Neill era which Scottish players got a game for Celtic??

Billyboy1

Rusty the tim more like Rusty the Dhim Celtic producing home growing talent young Forrest apart your teams full of foreigners.so why don't you go and phone your Mr Liewell and ask him where all your good Scottish talent is. Thick or what.

Rangers had at 148 players to be cap by scotland over its history how much has Celtic had ??

What a wonderfull honour......green jhedi

Intelligent and septic fan

never thought i would see those two words in the same sentence

JG

McGregor, Burke, Ferguson, Charlie Adam, Ross McCormack, Danny Wilson, John Fleck, Gregg Wylde, all products of Murray Park and most are full internationals or will be soon. How many Scotland internationals have celtic produced over the past 10 years?

J

I just canny believe the original post.

Deluded, deluded, deluded.......it`s the celtic way.

Gangrine Jhoke if your reference is to play for Scotland being a wonderful honour then yes your right it IS.If it was not can you please explain.Shaun H

Not being scottish it isnt a big deal for me,i might be wrong but i dont think theres an award for it is there? green jhedi............MTG

I,m posting this on the bears page as there appears to be more timmys than us bears

On 24/05/2011 Celtic raised a mortgage on Lennoxtown for an undisclosed amount

Can you now disclose how big yer mortgage is timmy

Also in june 2010 you had a bank debt of just over 5m now in june 2011 its 0.5m do you all really think a wee leprechaun paid it back out of his pot of gold or do you think sugar daddy desmond coughed and paid it

If you apply the same principle then you owe sugar daddy des 5m
remember and keep up the mortgage payments timmy

JG

LOLOL

Aye we pay our bills/taxs etc.

When was the last time Celtic were in court for payments ? You would honestly think Craig whyte was a judge, spends more time in court than at ibrox

Lenny

Lol, a bear giving FINANCIAL ADVICE iiiii

Under that logic lenny must be a rangers fan. Spends more time on the rangers page than the club crest

Oranjeboom

Q: How do you get a Celtic fan to stand up?
A: Say "Will the defendant please rise."

If we raised a mortgage to clear debt we owe the lender dumbass! good buisness practice anyway.why dont you get a mortgage to pay debt? oh forgot you havnt got a credit line....green jhedi

Never answered my question, you that seems to know everything

How much is your mortgage?? and where did the 5m come from??
