Rangers line up Benfica friendly Rangers are set to face Benfica in a glamour friendly match in Canada next month, according to reports. The Ibrox side are reportedly being lined up as the opposition in the annual Eusebio Cup on October 6, during the next international break. But the fixture, normally a pre-season friendly, has been delayed this year with the venue expected to be switched from the Estadio da Luz to Tim Hortons Field in Ontario, home of Canadian Football League side Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

This is a a greatest piece of wishy-washy writing I have read in a long time. Update on Ibrox Safe Standing Dear Member, Club 1872 held a very positive and constructive meeting with representatives from the Union Bears last week to discuss the issue of safe standing and how to take the matter forward. We updated the Union Bears on our discussions with Rangers on this topic and of the progress to date. A feasibility study has already been completed by Rangers and is being examined by them. The next step will be to collect indicative quotes for the installation of safe standing in various potential areas within Ibrox. We plan to work closely with both the Union Bears and the club in the coming months to ensure that any progress is communicated to all stakeholders during the evaluation process. It is important to note that there is a programme of rolling improvements to Ibrox which we understand must be Rangers’ priority. However, all parties are keen to accelerate improvements to the match day experience where possible. We are particularly keen to assist the Union Bears, The Blue Order and those RSCs who have expressed support for safe standing in helping to ensure a loud, intimidating and positive atmosphere at our home matches. We understand the positivity around creating some capacity for safe standing within Ibrox and the potential benefits that could bring to the match day atmosphere, but it is important that we acknowledge the interests of all supporters. We have to be mindful, for example, of the needs of disabled supporters and those who have held season tickets for many years in areas of the stadium where safe standing might be installed. We must also be aware of the memory of the Ibrox disaster and how that memory could impact any move away from an all seated stadium at Ibrox. That said, we do understand the positive case that can be put forward for safe standing and it is something we wish to explore and present to members. Whilst we wait on costing and feasibility information from Rangers, we hope to be able to collect details from supporters - particularly existing season ticket holders - who would be interested in being located in a safe standing section. We will liaise with Rangers and the Union Bears on how best to do this and will inform supporters of how they can register their interest in the near future. We would also like to undertake a more general survey on the match day experience and will be taking that forward with the club. This entire process will take a significant amount of time and our understanding is that there is no prospect of safe standing being put in place prior to the start of next season. We want to make that clear to manage the expectations of all supporters. Should supporters wish to assist Club 1872 in these efforts, we would encourage them to join - both to help with any fundraising and to ensure they can vote on this matter when it is put to members. Club 1872 will always be led by the wishes of its members and when all the required information has been collected it will be presented to them in order that they can decide whether or not to support the proposal.

I see Rickie Lambert is without a club. Worth a punt at 35 ?

Surely a cause Club1872 should be taking up with the club and the Scottish Government.

Rangers have agreed a deal to sign Cardiff City full-back Declan John on a season-long loan, according to Sky sources. The 22-year-old Welshman is expected in Glasgow on Wednesday evening and should complete his move on Thursday following a medical. John came through the youth system at Cardiff and made 16 appearances last season, but has not featured for the first team this season.

Where does this "Weir is a Rangers man" come from? Was there any sign of it before he joined the club?

You're correct. I thought it was!

“Flares are used for marine distress and are designed not to be extinguished easily or quickly,” said the Premier League. “They contain chemicals and burn at temperatures of 1600C, the melting point of steel. Smoke bombs are mainly used recreationally in paintballing and war games, but these also burn at high temperatures and are designed to be used in wide open spaces. "They are dangerous for those with asthma or breathing difficulties and can cause panic in a tightly packed crowd. They are not designed for use in confined spaces and it is illegal to enter a football stadium with one and set it off.

Ok, a cretin threw a smoke bomb.

Watching on TV if NK is as far off the pace as the commentators are saying why is he still on the park? Pedro must have seen my post.

Incredible second goal!!!!!! Worst piece of goalkeeping I've seen in years, possibly ever.

We score and flare thrown onto pitch, absolute cretins. And we all know it's not a one man loner doing it.
