i was reading rangers monthly and it says jelevic was looking forward to playing champs league football if we win league cos we automaticallly get group stages but u said other day tht we dont {Ed002's Note - The winners enter the Third Qualifying Round, as do the second placed team.}

Not true ed you'v got that wrong the winner's go strait into the group stage's this year it's next year the winner's enter at the third quaifying round as do the runner's up {Ed002's Note - There is no point discussing this any more. There is a whole thread with links to the SPL site and the UEFA site that explain the same. Just try not to be disappointed.}

I do apologise ed i'm the one that's wrong the winner's and the ru both enter at the third qualifying round next year i was clearly missled {Ed014's Note - I will pass that on to Ed002.

I have to admit, I was under the impression that the winners went straight into the group stage as well. Something to do with our run in the 2008 UEFA Cup which boosted the co-eff.

Does it matter? jelavic said man utd were interested in him,shows the gash he talks at times.take 5 mill for him and let him go instead of causing scenes in public. WATP and if yous dont want to play for the CHAMPOINS then just leave

If we win the league this year, we go into the third qualifying round for champions. If we get through that round, we then go into the play-off round. If we make it through that round, only then do we get into the group stages.

But Im sure months ago we were all talking about Whyte investing up to 15 million to win the league cause the winners go into the group stage. I am positive this was the news going about. I believe you, Ed, but dont you remember the same story?

Ed get ur facts right spl winners 2011/2012 gain automatic entry to group stage. fact!!!! {Ed001's Note - not according to UEFA they don't, their site clearly lists the winners of countries ranked 13-15 and the runners up of countries ranked 7-15 entering the competition at the 3rd Qualifying Round. Scotland are ranked 15th. Also this link tells the story of how Scotland have given themselves 2 places in the qualifying rounds for the Champions League: http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/rangers/230905-results-guarantee-two-champions-league-spots-for-scotland/ }

I have emailed the SPL so I will tell you if they reply but i'm 90% sure ed is right

I think the champs league spot was calculated on Scotland's rank a few seasons back( as out co efficient was high due ti gers reaching uefa cup final etc) that run to the final drops off Scotland's record this yr! So winners of league go straight to group stage this yr!

This states that the winners of the SPL (hopefully the gers) will enter at the third qualifying round and if we win that tie will then go into the play-off round where we will potentiallyface another winner from the 3rd qual round.

ED im really confused i think your rgt but i was watching blues news 11th october one in the interview with kenny mcdowell the interviewer says tht we go straight through {Ed002's Note - The winners enter the Third Qualifying Round, as do the second placed team. Perhaps you should belive me and not all of these unreliable sources.}

ED.. ur talking gash this time mate! winners go straight in next season due 2 rangers run in the uefa cup... a canne wait till the end of the season when we win the league! al be straight on telling u ur a muppet. {Ed001's Note - and I will be laughing at you for being wrong.}

Rangers to sign back Ross McCormack and Kevin Thompson
very reliable source

Where is the money coming from to buy anyone?

McCormack has been banging them in for leeds lately and we have loads of midfielders so cant really see it .but hey nothing is impossible. shaun h

Glass legs thompson aye right

If there is any buisness getting done in the window it is more likely players will be leaving,we all know there will be some very hard times ahead of us

McCormack has declared his Celtic allegiance Thomson fitness and temperament problems wouldn't sign them even on a free

Ross McCormack is sh*te, he got released because he wasn't good enough for Rangers. I'd love Chris Burke back though, great wee winger and loves the club.

Burke great winger ? loves the club ? What planet are you from ?

Have to agree about burke spoke to him several times and know his aunty who works at glasgow airport well enough to say he is not and never has been a rangers fan .fab1

I would never take thomson back, even through all his injury problems rangers stuck by him paying his wages then stuffed us the first chance he got so him and boyd are in same boat, they made their bed so they can lie in it.

Wouldn't like to see it happen, I think the club should be looking to blood some younger players while looking farther afield for some gems. also have a look at some young scottish talent i.e templeton and murphy. i know temps might cost a fair bit cos romanov is anti-old firm but worth an enquiry surely. maybe possibly the nxt time we play em at tynecastle to turn his head a little. any advantage would be good WATP

Your signing no one ya dafties your going in to administration in november

Burkes a partick thistle fan !!
