I for 1 am quite happy to have miller back, but would like boyd also, its a good partnership. I just hope we can afford boyd too. I really wouldn't like to loose boyd to the likes of Dundee United or Aberdeen. I think that would be a good partnership and would score a barrel load between them, I think the likes of nicky clark and David Templeton would also benefit from having the around. Also been reading Miller saying boyd would like to come back
But can we afford this?

What do u think?i don't see how we can afford miller with the state of things unreal but it's what we have grown to accept

Rather like it myself. Clever piece of marketing too with the Referendum coming up and a big majority of bears going to vote No.

Will I be giving Mike Ashley my money though?

Another No for me.

Rangers and an independent Scotland for me.

Sadly, I'm not at all surprised by the signing of Kenny Miller. Don't get me wrong, I think he will do a job and will score goals. Any other Championship club signing him would be seen as a major coup regardless of his age. It's just that it sends out so many wrong signals and sums up everything that is wrong with our club and more so our manager. To sign a man in his mid 30's in the same week as a promising 19 year old steps up a level because he feels it will give him more opportunities is embarrassing.

Also, what does everyone think of the new 2014/15 third kit, featuring a Union Jack design on the front? Bound to split opinion!

I like the union flag on it, we are a British club.

@1 naw mate we are a Scottish club

Scotland, which is a part of Britain, at least for the time being. We are every bit as much British as we are Scottish.

I personally like the top, however don't see the need for the controversy that the UJ will bring. Not so bothered about the outsiders as I am our own support, some of whom will be annoyed based on the fact they want independence.

That's not true, we collectively make up 100% of scotland but only 25% of britain.

We should not be signing the likes of Miller. We have had the 'opportunity' rebuild Rangers by promoting youth, and failed miserably!

What is the point of Miller - we can win the Championship without him. Will he still be there at 36 playing for us in the SPFL? Doubt it. Can he play in the SPFL? Doubt it - I don't really care! I do not want him in the team - it is pointless. He adds no value now or going foward to the next league.

I would rather Rangers went out and signed a 17 year old and a 19 year old.

Smacks of desparation - no it doesn't. It is desparation!

anyone think it should be
Bell
Halkett/Mcausland, Gasparotto, Mohsni, Wallace
Macleod, Mcculloch, Law
Mckay/Aird, Gallacher/Clark, Templeton

Manager is clueless but he has signed miller so he has to play him with clark up front we know it won't happen

This is an absolute disgrace! Telfer out Miller in proves what a lying rat McCoist really is yet again, I will never set foot in Ibrox while that person is involved with Rangers in any capacity.

Totally agree that we should have used youth and shouldn't be signing players like miller but were like a broken record on this now! McCoist is going to keep with these poor decisions until he's out!

Leeboy 12 that is near enough to what the teamsheet should look like but mr mccoist never gave the youngsrers the chance last season and I will be surprised if he gives any of them a chance ever following his teacher ws

@ 3 Spot on Smokeybear. Absolute disgrace. Miller is so good he was playing for the Mighty . Vancouver Whitecaps! Joke!

I for one am pretty happy Kyle Hutton has signed a new deal, still young enough to improve and I believe if given regular game he would improve.

I would have Hutton in midfield before Ian Black any day, however we all know Black will be first name on Ally's team sheet as usual.

I agree, Hutton isn't a bad player, he hasn't had much of a run in the team since breaking through in 2010. He isn't spectacular, but he usually does the simple things well. I think a midfield three with Hutton holding and Law & MacLeod either side of him would be solid yet creative next season. He will probably just play back-up to Ian Black though.

Surely nobody can expect ally to drop black remember he signed him and like walter smith he doesn't like to change players especially when he signed him hutten came through the youth system and that means ally won't give him a game unless somebody is injured but even at that ally has played players that were not fully fit cause he signed them

mccoist sayed he would play youngsters when leauge was won lies from him never gives youth a chance as board promised in there plan to Focus on Player Asset Management and Youth Development yet let telfer go and give 23 old hutton a deal think he had long anuf to prove himself by now blame the past board of short term planning yet current board sign short term loans allow mccoist to sign miller 34 year old nothing against miller this smacks of the same old rubish lies empty promised no forward thinking the exsact same as last board in charge just diffrent faces on board now seriously all and a mean all of us rangers fans need to step up and force them into a corner they can not get out off club is corupt top to bottom disgusted at these people wer even aloud in the door at our great club

Hi your forgeting the youths were still chasing the league title and cup, Gord Durie said as the time he requested that Ally did not field his team, and Ally agreed that as our title was in the bag he did not want to disrupt the push for silverware. Telfer wanted first team football, due to his position he would not have got that this term. I would be suprised if he walked into the Dundee United first team next season. But the boy was out of contract Rangers made him a good offer he decided to take a gamble with Dundee United for first team football. Ally would have had to have gaurenteed him first team football last year to keep him, no manger can give that gaurentee not even to experienced senior players. I think some people have become so obsessed with looking for things to crtique the man for since you learned what salary he was on some of you are looking for any reason to have a go at him. Ally McCoist stood by our club when others walked away. I believe the man loves this club more than his own health and you should stop being spoiled brats and get behind the man, judge him when he's in the SPL and has a budget. Not when he is working on a shoe string under a cloud of mystery.

my god do you not remember mccoist in the spl throwing away 15 point lead to an average celtic team, also got us put out of the champions league and the europa cup by 2 pub teams, the guy has not got it end of story, and let's be honest wild horses would not have got mccoist out off Ibrox he is driven by cash, I pray if someone buys the club the first job is to give this parasite his p45

I don't think any of the youth players are expecting guarantees but just a chance to prove themselves. It's called hope.

I can think of seven 1st team players who are however guaranteed their place under McCoist. My observation is based purely upon football and nothing to do with what the manager earns.

Well said nbts best post I have read get behind the manager and team and stop listing to media and the other mob if we beleived them we be dead and buired long time ago 2 down one to go
