Just wanted opinions on the Safe Standing Section that's going to be at Ibrox.
Wanted to know the thought's on where in Ibrox it should be?
From what I've read its definitely going to happen which I am very happy about. I hope that the work starts at the end of this Season BUT its probably easier said than done and not due to the Construction but the fact that probably some Season Ticket Holders may have to relocate.
Anyways again from what I've read its going to be the Copland Front.
I just thought if it could be possible to resurrect the ENCLOSURE!
I get why the decision on the Copland Front but just want to know what PEOPLE on here think. Look forward to it and like I said hopefully work starts end of Season.
Might even ask Ed for a Poll :)

it would have to be the east enclosure for me the atmosphere out of there when it was terracing was amazing!
30 Aug 2017 22:21:08
I sit the very front row of the Copland front and my view is obstructed by a camera man every game. Hopefully it will be put in at the Copland front so I can watch the game with a good view

Who is paying for this? I am led to believe it cost Celtic over a million to accommodate 900. yet on here people are quoting up to 6000 places. sorry but I feel it is pie in the sky and just the ub wanting parity because the eastenders have a safe standing area. i don't think the finances are there at the moment for this kind of outlay. let's get a winning team on the park first!
31 Aug 2017 02:29:21
Everybody has their own opinion but for me I think that getting this done as soon as we can is worth it!
Also I am sure the Tic didn't spend one penny on this as it was Government Funded as a Trial to re-introduce Safe Standing back into Scottish Football and also to test the actual design. Which they were to do for 3 Years before ANY other Club could introduce it themselves!
The Dortmund Stadium is absolutely immense on match days, do not know exactly how much of the Stadium is Standing but its in the Tens Of Thousands! And get it into the Enclosure would be great and WOULD impact on the Pitch! Hell I'd even push for both the Enclosure and Copland Front for Standing, its going to happen over time.

Get real the Scottish government paid for ours while it was paying for the Celtic way and financing the hotel that is about to be built.

Sky sources understand Rangers have agreed a deal to sign Cardiff City full back Declan John on a season-long loan.
The 22 year-old Welshman is expected in Glasgow this evening and should complete his move tomorrow following a medical.
This was posted on the sky website 10 minutes ago so looking likely the deal will be concluded tomorrow.
30 Aug 2017 22:43:11
phoned a couzin in cardiff about dj and his words were your welcome to him, alright going forward but poor defender
30 Aug 2017 23:33:28
I know Declan can play as a Wing Back or Left Mid, but will Pedro play him straight away instead of Wallace if he is 100% fit? They Player isn't exactly inexperienced! He's an International who played the majority of Cardiffs games when in the EPL.
So thoughts if fit will he play? He will also have the time over the break to get to know the Team etc
Is Wallace looking at the bench for the Dundee game?
31 Aug 2017 07:40:21
He's back up for Wallace at the moment who has the odd injury here and there throughout the season. Obviously if he does well in training or league cup/ bounce games he might start before Waldo in time .
31 Aug 2017 08:05:49
I think that the Lge Cup game against Partick is a game that could be used to give Declan. Nemane. and hopefully Dala a run out.
Would like to see us progressing so poss have them on the bench and ideally put on after a strong start and a couple of goals. If Pena hasn't had a start yet then he should start the Partick game. He's started to get some game time and the Cup game should definitely be time if not sooner!

There is no way we will play any kind of experimental team v Thistle. The manager is under enough pressure without putting himself under more
31 Aug 2017 09:44:05
This lad could play in front of Wallace. One goes one sits and both have defending in mind as know the LB position.
31 Aug 2017 10:16:59
Seriously!? Are you suggesting we play 2 LB's. one pushed slightly forward to LM? . we struggle with creativity as it is without playing 2 defensive minded players.
Wallace seems to be picking up injury after injury recently so we need reliable cover at LB and the manager obviously thinks Declan John can provide this.
30 Aug 2017 15:59:46
Looks like we are in for Cardiff player Declan John on a season loan. Plays as a left winger and full back Role. Anyone seen him play?
30 Aug 2017 17:38:02
Declan at 22 looks like a very good signing, ok so he's fell out of favour with the Manager but he's a decent age an International and has EPL experience.
Wanted to know if anyone knows more about the lad from Lisbon, what is his favoured position? Heard he's a Striker an Attacking Midfielder but nothing concrete!
30 Aug 2017 19:18:52
I believe it a 21 year old player called Gelston Dale and he is an attacking midfielder, scored quite a few goals and played for his Country around 16 times, however I'm not sure of this stat, he is held in high regard and broke into first team. Hope this answers your question.
30 Aug 2017 20:47:47
Lets hope the boy is good enough. can't really see him starting before wallace though, unless he plays another position aswell. I thought I read somewhere we were looking at another keeper, can't remember the club though.
31 Aug 2017 00:44:30
Its not that I would not like to see a Keeper arrive but its definitely not a priority especially if the rumour that we bid £900k! I find that very very hard to believe that we would be spending that amount on a position that is way down the pecking order in terms of replacing an inadequate Player! Never mind the fact that we brought Ailnwick in for something between 2/ 300k a supposedly up and coming Keeper who we really haven't been able to judge! CRAZY RUMOUR!
31 Aug 2017 12:47:43
As crazy as nani or ross McCormick
30 Aug 2017 10:11:06
Anyone know if O'Halloran is allowed to play against us as am not sure I want him facing our fullbacks.
30 Aug 2017 10:35:12
he'll do feck all
30 Aug 2017 12:41:11
I dunno peds he's a different player for st johnstone altogether.
30 Aug 2017 13:07:16
to be best of my knowledge players aren't allowed to play against parent clubs. remember it happening a few times to hibs when they got celtics hand me downs
30 Aug 2017 13:50:06
think it depends on the deal tho, some players can play against the team they are contracted to. But, with some common sense you wouldn't let o'halloran play against us.
30 Aug 2017 15:53:47
Yeah needs to be included in loan deal whether Player can play against Parent Team.
Im sure we would have done that.
30 Aug 2017 20:49:35
That would be the thing let him play against us and he score a couple of goald against us, I don't think he would have a warm embrace in the changing room when he returns in january. Could you imagine haha.
30 Aug 2017 22:25:18

Not that I think he will play against us however if we didn't insist on this and he can play against us then surely it would be worse if he didn't try? After all it would be the fault of the club and not the player
30 Aug 2017 05:53:53
Seen a picture of new home top, not impressed looks cheap .
30 Aug 2017 08:07:56
It looks more like training kit. We already announced we would be using last seasons home kit for 2017/ 18 which is registered with league and was with UEFA.
We announced an away and potentially 3rd kit would be available in 4-6 weeks (6-8 weeks ago)
The new Away top was worn V Ross County and will be available to buy in a few weeks.
I'm not convinced the new blue or white kits are real or going to be our 3rd or new home kits. I hope not aswell they both look like cheap crap
30 Aug 2017 08:38:08
The White top is ok as poss a 3rd Top but I wouldn't buy it.
The Blue Kit is absolutely RANK ROTTEN, It can't be our new Home Kit as said above we have already registered the current Kit AND the Shorts are BLUE! which as a Registered Home Kit is a no go. I know we have worn all Blue Kits in the past but I'm sure they were used in European Games yeah? Plus I totally agree that it looks cheap!
30 Aug 2017 15:54:25
I think first impressions are good, especially the away top
30 Aug 2017 15:55:56
I don't think the white or the blue tops are genuine, if you look at the red one that we had against Ross county it doesn't have the buttons on the colour and these 2 tops that are doing rounds have .
30 Aug 2017 15:56:52
Hahaha surely the leaked pictures weren't of a kit comprising of a medium top and extra small shorts that look cut from different material, not only that but they are displayed on someone's kitchen floor?
I'll reserve any judgement until I see an official release, looks legit if you partake in substance abuse I suppose.
30 Aug 2017 20:51:02
They are fake, always take it as jobby unless the club announce new kit. Remember under armour tweeted they would be making our kit last year. Numpties.
