As far as I know diouf has only signed on a pay as you play deal and is free to talk to any team he wishes

Guys, just a thought but (with all due respect to our competitors) now we are competing against lesser skilled players, is there an argument for us upping the average age and winning through guile rather than out and out pace/ skill. how many times have you seen a 40 year old make a plonker of a 20 year old upstart.

I also don't think we are leveraging our history as much as we should be.

Could there even be an argument to send out an SOS to a clutch of 40 somethin Former bears, whilst they may not choose to play in the 3rd if they are sold it as reestablishing THE British football institution that are the Rangers they may just rally to the cause.

And you wonder why us tims are glued to this site ??this is the sort of amusing entertainment we are looking for keep it up ya mad bunch of loonies ...

Lol you're nuts!

That's next year mate when the current mercenaries have moved on. No Plan B until Plan A has been tried.

'leveraging your history' ...... This is why I didn't sleep a wink for four months......laughing myself into hysterics every night thinking about Rangers.

The past 6 months has clearly been irrecoverable for some mad crazy loons.
Hopefully not all bears won't recover..

For a guy who is referred for his "great guy" persona am I the only one thinks McCoist seems to be overly touchy and someone who will hold a grudge if he has a disagreement with a player? We had Fleck 2 years ago....Wylde last season...and now it appears Hutton is the one sent to Coventry. It's one thing showing you're the boss but altogether something more to show you can move on and continue working together for the greater good of the club. Just look at Walters handling of Ferguson and especially McGregor after "booze gate". In my opinion McCoist has fallen short on a number of points since becoming manager last year but his man management skills...or lack of...is one of the more concerning. Last years mess with Administration spared McCoist but now that things are settling down, for me he has to start showing by the end of the first season quarter he has a team fully behind him the very same way Smith had. Smiths squad literally would have taken a bullet for him!

SPM

Not so sure that they literally would have done that.

Might it just be that Wylde, Fleck and especially Hutton are p@sh?

Mccoist has always been like that, even as a player

I'm a gers fan before I start, the Scotland manager is a joke, no Scott brown or Kris commons in squad for next 2 games, the guy is as clueless as ally. {Ed039's Note - The guy is a joke)

Scott Brown is injured, played through it last night but now out for 2/3 weeks. Commons should be there though after the start hes had this season

Mikey Bhoy

I couldnt care less whos in the Scotland team, but there is no way you can even compare an imbecile like McCoist to Levein, he may not play everyones choice but look at the utter pish McCoist has signed and then got rid of, I mean Ortiz ffs as much a footballer as McCoist is a manager

If ur a gers fan why worry about Scotland hope they get pumped. As for brown he's injured plays in games but struggles to train during the week

Ally's in desperation street now. Any recommendation from any ex player and ally will sign them. It'll only get worse.

I am a Gers fan, but I'll take the world cup for Scotland before I would see any Scots team win a european cup. And another thing, start wavin The Saltire on a saturday instead of either that English Union Jack or that Irish tricolour. Or better still, just enjoy the fitba and gee religion a rest, its aw pish.

Just a quick thought ed, will rangers be able to enter the over 35s competition at braehead now its a different company? {Ed039's Note - Jeez I don't know, least of our worries although a good laugh)

30 Aug 2012 15:12:08
If we have a transfer embargo, surely we can't sell players in that time either because we would then need players to cover their positions. {Ed039's Note - we can but it would be silly to)

We don't have a transfer embargo.

We are not allowed to register any players.

There is a distinct difference.

Would you be so kind as to detail the difference to someone as thick as me .. please .

No 1 ... its not that your wrong its just that your not correct ( in your own form of thinking )

@2. Transfers can be in or out of a club. Being unable to register players only affects players coming in.
I think that was the point 1.) was making related to what the OP posted.
Al

Rangers can sign as many guys as they like, whenever they want, and pay them wages..... No embargo. But those guys cannot be registered with the SFA to play football for Rangers in Scotland.

Not allowed to register players isn't exactly correct. We can still register players providing they are under 18

just want to say thanks to septic for the champions league wins...and im sure charlie is extatic as our co-efficient rises and hopefully will rise again in the next 3 years just as the rangers fc make a european comeback........deecee

Getting to the CL is not enough for our co-efficient, unless Celtic can remain in Europe after Christmas then we will be losing our second CL spot.

Decay,it will be years before you see the CL again.nice to see you backing Green though,bout time you made your mind up.

Just type it as you say it lol

You are in dreamland, all wrapped up nice and cosy in a blanket made of delusion and denial. Rangers died, and 'the Rangers' will go the way of the dodo too. In the meantime, enjoy dross football and the ramshackle cup.

@1. read Doncaster's statement in the report on the BBC website.
4 co-efficient ranking points for qualifying for the group stage and additional ones for wins and draws in the group stage. Looks like the co-efficient is set to rise.
SPL also receive £1.5m to distribute to other 11 SPL teams. I guess financial meltdown will have to wait.
Al

You wont be making any comeback in three year it will be the fifth year before you play in europe ... 3rd 2nd 1st and youll need to qualify in your 4th year in spl to play the next

@5, in order to get the points for wins or draws you will actually have to.....wait for it....get a win or a draw. There will be one CL place for Scotland by the time Rangers are back in the top flight,

Sally is are hero, sally is our hero, na na na na na na na na

Does anyone know the deal with the
transfer embargo? It keeps saying 12 months which to me would mean from 1st Sept until 31st Aug 2013. Next years window is meant to bhe open until the 3rd Sept (31st Aug a Saturday so usually extended to the Monday) however SSB said they were under the impression Rangers couldnt sign anyone until 1st Jan 2014.

What I want to know is if that is true then does that not make it a 16 month ban?

My impression is that its effectivley a 2 window ban and we cant sign anyone until after summer 2013 window but free agents can sign after that window closes?

Also would we be allowed to sign a GK on temp loan or something if Alexander got injured as that would only leave one GK?

I hope what you'er saying about the extension is true! The ban is until the 31st of August. The media is probably just assuming that the deadline is the same as this year...
I don't think it's unfair that we have this "16 month ban" anyway - because the fact they delayed the embargo was doing us a favour! I'd rather we had this summer to sign people rather than have had to continue with last year's remains.

It is a loophole that could be exploited however it is believed the ban is not for a calender year but for 2 transfers windows

Glad you don't think a sixteen month embargo is unfair, after all the twelve months was unlawful.

I wrote #1.
What, so you would all rather that the embargo kicked in before we had a chance to sign anybody? I'm not getting into the legal side of it. At the end of the day, we were given it and couldn't challenge it in order to get back playing football - very unfair. But in the circumstances, I'm saying it's good that they at least delayed the start of the ban so we could build the numbers up.

The Sfa and other associations are allowed to open and operate on a Saturday, so the window will close on the 31st, its only a Sunday that there is no trading, look at the passed history of transfer windows.

Lord Nimmo Smiths tribunal and the SFA will clarify that the punishment is a two window ban on registrations.

30 Aug 2012 11:22:02
Not that Im wanting them to do well but who do we think Celtic will get?

I think Barcelona, Schalke and Ajax.

I care who they get, we need to change our blinkered attitude or there will be nothing to come back to when we move up again, after the plight we found ourselves in through our own fault I was hoping things would change for the sake of all Scottish football but seems not
Bobby

Cant believe after watching a scottish team deservedly make the group stages of the champions league. Im watching neil Lennons interview after the game and hes sporting a f*cking Ireland flag on his collar. What kind of message does that send out to the world?

Mystic meg returns, who really knows who they will get.

Chelsea, Juventus, Braga

@2; Dear dear.Your anti Ireland credentials shining through there eh? The flag is part of the trim on the 125 year history celebrations,to honour the founding fathers of the club.Now calm down and join us in the 21st century.

@2: part of the 125 year celebrations, part of which is to do with the fact that the club was set up as a charitable organisation to help the poor of the East End, most of whom were Irish.

2) could not agree more, since when was yellow part of Celtic's colours. A rotten advert for the champions league representatives of Scotland that he is sporting an Irish flag

Newsflash for 2 ,Lennon is irish,get a life you troll

Dannybhoy

Barca, Benfica and Spartak.

Easy!

I tried my best to will them into the Real, City and Ajax section but nae joy.

BARNEY BEAR

#8 - not that I'm condoning my fellow Rangers fans remarks, but Lennon is from Northern Ireland. Wow - you don't even know where you're manager is from/ the flag of his country.
Also - your point is moot. Paul le Guen, for example, was French but he didn't walk about wearing the French flag around his neck. {Ed039's Note - Just a noose)

1st of all, Lennon didnt design his top, that would be nikes job. Also RE 7) Yellow isnt part of the Irish flag either

Mikey Bhoy

Barney bear am sure you tried your best to wish your old club into a cva too but that didnt work either think you should just give up ...

All this petty stuff because we celebrate our irish founders ... i hope in another 125 year were not as petty when you all eat yorkshire puddings to celebrate yours

125 years ago Ireland, where celtics founder came, was British therefore should it not be a Union Jack? Or the fact the tricolor wasn't a flag at the time, the own flag was a blue back ground with a yellow harp! They really are playing on the Irish heritage b*llocks.

30 Aug 2012 10:46:49
ed are you a celtic fan? cause you post more celtic fan posts than rangers {Ed039's Note - Post more then, if it's a decent post or decent banter then it gets posted regardless of who posts it)

At the same time try posting on the celtic page and they never let you. but our page is full of celtic fans. something not right! {Ed039's Note - Send a message on the Celtic page then and ask the ed why he doesn't post things as opposed to asking why things are posted on here, maybe the posts are full of nonsense and aren't worth posting?)

The Ed is right to post all decent posts on here but I wish Celtic fans would stop goading our fans about 3rd div it wasn't the fans fault were here

Nope ed007 can't handle it when u post something negative about Celtic. {Ed001's Note - load of rubbish, I cover Celtic in the mornings and very little gets posted by Rangers fans because you have nothing to gloat over! That's all it is.}

ED 007 runs the same criteria,if the post is not abusive and relevent or classed as banter it will be posted.Plenty regular gers fans post on Celtics page. {Ed039's Note - I know this, this is the way all the pages work)

I'm with the Ed here - censoring debate is just wrong and take non-Rangers posts as a back-handed compliment - would be a poor show if non-Rangers people didn't care
Iain

I think what the OP is saying is that most of the Celtic posts are full of nonsense and not anywhere near funny. Isn't that why they have a Celtic page for their banter? As no one is remotely interested in their ramblings on here. Or should we just expect to have both pages full of this stuff. Maybe you could clear that up for us all.

No he.s rite, when u try post on the celtic site from a rangers perspective, nothing offensive u understand, it rarely appears

Feel for you Ed - you must feel like a babysitter sometimes! {Ed039's Note - no for the most part I enjoy editing the site, but some people think there is some sort of agenda on here when really it is just a fun page to people to rant, joke etc)

Here we go again.....blame everything on everyone else......same as the liquidation/cheating/thieving scandal. Now it's the poor Ed's turn to get it in the neck! lol lol

Hail Hail

The gers will announce that mc coist wil be leaving as he feels it's challenge he cannot achieve without full backing from Greene. His replacement is rumoured to a boss what green has worked with previously hope not as he is a gers legend and will be missed

I don't think so somehow.

30 Aug 2012 09:41:58
Rangers players squared up to each other after Berwick flop ...

Evening Times

Well if true, I'm actually glad to hear that some of our lads feel strongly enough about the club to show some kind of passion.

BARNEY BEAR

This is a big deal if Ally loses control of the dressing room as well.

Post 1; I think that was the whole point of the leak.Strange it took so long for Ally to come out and say it.

If true, this is very bad news. It demonstrates a complete breakdown of discipline and cohesive teamwork. These things happen when there is weak leadership.

30 Aug 2012 04:17:02
Like yous like to say and since it is important to you and as you have said where was the biggest crowd in Scotland? Looks like Celtic makes a record for having the largest crowd in all of Scotland, I'm sure yous could hear all the noise of celebrations of cl football. Lol

Celtics attendance last night was 51,566. No where near full, what a truly terrible showing for a CL qualifier.

Number 1, wish you would stop going on about attendances, we had less than 30,000 at the malmo game last year.

@1; Yet almost twice your games v malmo and maribor. how interesting.

Do you think queens park will take your ( so called record) of you when you play at hampden ? its their home ground so it will be their record

29 Aug 2012 23:43:48
Any 1 else think we should try and sign the striker from Peterhead. Wld do a job in most Scottish leagues. Also what about a looking at tens in league 1 & 2. It's worth a shot.

He moved from Brechin to peterhead last year because peterhead agreed to pay his apprenticeship and allowed him to stay part time, football is his second career choice, he doesn't want full time football.

29 Aug 2012 23:57:00
what happened to the other people that trained with us. Are they still on trial ?

I think Goodwillie is
