Did we not have a check something like that once before - during the McCoist golden years?
-
If you care about Rangers you should care. When teams like that lose they damage our co-efficient in europe. Then that makes it almost impossible for us to qualify for the CL. We need ALL Scottish teams to do well in Europe, otherwise we will lose an automatic CL place.

Peter McCloy all right. I well remember the big numpty chucking in a couple when we got dumped out the Texaco Cup by...Chesterfield!!
-
Think he's a full Welsh international.
-
Now, now, don't be cynical. This is what we all want to see, the club rearing its own. Would you rather we flogged them off and brought in 30-somethings and players looking to use us as a stepping stone?
-
Yeh, if that's the most we can expect, I'd rather keep him. We can fit him in a 4-2-3-1.

I'm probably the only person on here to mourn Setanta's passing. Why? Because I have a freeview box. Now I suppose I'll have to buy a dish!
-
Thanks, Frankie. Just needed to magnify it, doh! V. clever! Must have taken a lot of work.
-
Can't read it - can you give us the gist?
-
One of these days somebody with a sense of tradition will produce a Royal Blue shirt for Rangers, not these sky blue/pale blue versions.

But we shouldn't have to buy a 34 year old when we have Webster who recently played for Scotland B. He's at least worth a try.I'm beginning to wonder about the number of good players we have brought in and then failed to give a proper chance to. Think Webster,Gow, Naismith for a start.
-
Interesting. He looked good to me on YouTube but judging from your location you must have seen him plenty for NI?
-
-
Phew!! That could have been us. We simply MUST do well this season in the CL as Scottish clubs may lose their automatic status in future.

Get your point about John Barnes (born in Jamaica of Jamaican parents) but Le Tissier was born in the Channel Islands. What was his nationality? It's only a gentlemen's agreement prevents them playing for any other home nation, so I think england claimed then on the grounds that they were resident and played their carrers in England. On that basis we could go for Novo and they could have Almunia. On the whole you're right - who would want to end up like the RoI? What a joke team.

Saw this guy have a not too bad game against a strong Italian side. He started on the right wing then took Healy's place in the centre. Given that he can also play centre half, I would think that Walter could find a slot for him somewhere. Seriously, he's now played more games for NI than he has for us. Not saying he should be a key player for us, but he has gathered experience now and surely he could fill a gap in the squad - or are there some 35 year olds out there who would be ahead of him in the queue? I honestly don't mind if we sign nobody this summer - provided we give the youths a PROPER chance to show they can plug any gaps. Would love to see a Rangers squad with the nucleus of home-grown players; maybe 5 and the rest made of experienced signings. Remember ManU and the Beckham/Scholes contingent?

What, so we can get humped 0-4 again!
-
Ally - it IS relevant because the old pre-MP argument went that we could not develop youngsters because of the poor facilities; now that we have good facilities (for all squads not just youth) then we should be able to attract good quality with the promise of earlier promotion to first team than would be possible at say Manure or Arsenal. Take a look at the columns of The Herald this week - it's full of names that could develop into 'stars.' So why aren't they being given the chance? I just cannot accept that it's because they are no good.
-
So how come Man U and Arsenal keep producing youngsters when they also spend money on the arshavins and Berbatovs? It must be a damn sight more difficult to get into their team/squads. Considering tha lack of cash available to us we should be the no. 1 destination for any smart young player. Or is the coaching standard at Murray Park to be found wanting? In that case what's the point of Kenny McDowall? Thought he was meant to be great with young players.
-
If this is true it's profoundly depressing. Another youth player not given a chance. All right he may not have turned out to be any good, but why are we rearing players for other clubs? Take Ross McCormack as an example.

Walter Smith admits he fears losing top stars
alexscottislegend replied to johnnyk's topic in Rangers Chat
Correct me if I'm wrong but if they fail, then doesn't that harm Scotland's co-efficient, which means we could face qualifying rounds the season after next? If Scotland's automatic CL place goes, it will almost impossible for us or any Scottish side to qualify. You won't like me saying it but we need THEM to do well -along with all Scottish sides. -
Agreed. Never thought I would be saying that when Cuellar was touted for a move (thought he was irreplaceable) but as Craig says, Bougie is better in the air, quicker and gives us an attacking option.

Good Luck Manchester United

Thank God they didn't win after what they said about us in Manchester. -

Christ man, are you talking about Andrea Bocelli? One of the greatest tenors around? You're probably one of those people who think Susan Boyle is sensational! -
Looks like Messi in that clip! But seriously he has a good track record at Sheff. Wed and WBA of scoring and can play LM or striker.
