2)& ed cheers that's what I thought until today ed and @1 cheers I was trying first Row but will try that sound mate

Why is it that people must always make up some excuse to watch Celtic games? We all know the rangers are miles away from being good enough for top league and are not that good to watch. Celtic are entertaining and growing to new hieghts and in Europe with a lot of excitement around them, so it's easy and no brainer which game one would watch. And everyone knows the majority watch Celtic games so why make up excuses that you had to watch them, when you and others want to?

3. 'Celtic are entertaining and growing to new hieghts and in Europe with a lot of excitement around them'

Obviously not enough excitement around them to even get near remotely filling their stadium last night. As for growing to new heights you beat a Swedish team who most people had never heard of 1-0. Not exactly setting Euope alight.

@4 wow another seat counting freak! Get a life mate because its just embarrassing now!

Nothing wrong with watching them. a lot of their fans watched us at the weekend despite it being in a foreign language lol! As fpr seat counting, yes it is very boring

Is it true parts of the ground are closed for the game?

Is big john going to tell the hoards tonight the big secret weres the deeds for the big house and loads of murry park lol

A friendly game not selling out - no big deal - a champions league tie not selling out now that's different

@2 FFS the season hasn't even started yet and you've started making digs about crowd sizes already. DH {The Ed039's Note - Its all very boring)

@2: yup, Rangers didn't manage to sell out when they last played qualifiers during the summer holidays either. It's totally understandable.

@2 you're that biter you'd say that, pure jealously man season hasn't started yet folk still spending time with family on holiday etc get a grip.

#2 Rangers last CL game against Malmo had 28000. The last European game had 32000 against Maribor. It says Celtic had 40000 last night. So not sure what the point you were making was.

The Dundee game last night had a crowd of 5244 in a ground that holds 12000. Was there a boycott? Did the fans think it was Utd you were playing? lol

@6 pmsl no I think they are boycotting the city of Dundee! But truth be known, who can blame them lol

I can help but think Ally is making a huge mistake even considering the latest trialists, I'm all for brining in experience to help the younger lads develop but when the experience is a 33 year old lad from Mali who hasn't kicked a ball in years I get a bit concerned.

I think we now have enough senior players and the focus now should be on getting the right blend of experience and youth. Where we are at just now I would much rather see a young lad gaining valuable experience than a past his best journeyman trying to make a few bob before his playing days come to an end.

Ally must be brave and show no fear in putting faith in the youngsters and give them their chance to prosper, I've been disappointed in the way Barry McKay has faded from the limelight, with more experience gained through match play he could become a very good player. We must put the vast focus on developing the youth players as this is the future of rangers, in years to come I would much rather see a team full of homegrown players than multi million pound signings from abroad.

The two trialists share the same agent as mohsni. Maybe he said he would give them a go to get mohsni?

To be fair Barry makay has been injured

Think you'll find mckay will be 'injured' quite a lot.
isn't that why he was let go from previous club?

@3 What a ridiculous comment. The lad's 18 years old, plays for the Scottish under 19s and has been at Rangers since he was 16 after a hip problem at Kilmarnock. Why the inverted commas suggesting his injuries aren't real when they happen? Have you ever played football and got injured? Criticising the youngsters doesn't do anyone any good. Lay off.

3 that is quite the most ridiculous post I've seen a long time, god help us, Tommyblue
