I yearn for the day when Rangers players learn to pass the ball and take advantage of dead ball situations, we've got some cracking young guys just now with a full season playing together under their belt, fingers crossed things should click into place soon.

Fascination stuff all this chat...incredible revelations

Hope this it for real now...a one way road back to the top.

Celtic wanted him in 2008 but wouldn't pay the 1.3M asking fee

English said to Brown "I had nothing against you" LOL!!

Full-time 4-1 German football on the verge of greatness again. As a kid I loved watching W. Germany and Bayern wipe the floor with opponents..last night and tonight reminded me of that. Borussia side average age 23.

Magic Lewandowski makes it 4-1 with pen kick

Yeees...hat-trick 3-1 Edit: First player EVER to score a hat-trick against RM in this comp. Wow!

2-1 Such a clever finish from Lewandowski

Ronaldo has equalised 1-1... He's some player too... Guile, technique, fantastic awareness.. Awesome vision and anticipation... His free kicks are out of this world... his trickery like nothing seen before... There is something missing from his game though.....

It's fantastic our last home game of the season is selling out. I remember during the week before the first one against East Stirling the same thing was being predicted by Rangers and Ally said this: â??Itâ??s up to us now to give them a winning team they enjoy watching.â? Ach well, there's always next season.

Sorted that for you Tumshie

“I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art. When you read some books they are fantastic, the writer touches something in you that you know you would not have brought out of yourself. He makes you discover something interesting in your life. If you are living like an animal, what is the point of living? What makes daily life interesting is that we try to transform it to something that is close to art. And football is like that.” - Arsene Wenger

I never find it difficult to despise managers of that green and grey lot across the city, but even when 'wee Chesney' was in charge there and winning title after title I still couldn't muster up hatred for the man, although I was sick to the back teeth of him winning trophies for them I must add. He has always struck me as an intelligent dignified person with no hidden agendas, someone who just got on with the job he was there to do, It was no surprise the fans of that club wanted him out because he wasn't 'Celtic minded' He's always coming out with sensible stuff simple common sense to be exact. What he had to say today about Scottish football and the direction it should be taking to save itself just cements my opinion of him. He reckons Scottish Football needs to be split into full-time and part-time leagues if it is to find a straightforward solution to league reconstruction. The Scotland manager today gave his opinion on the ongoing reform saga just a week after SPL proposals for a 12-12-18 format were voted out by St Mirren and Ross County. He has urged the powers that be to be bold in their plans - and not just 'tamper' with the status quo. Speaking at the launch of the PFA Scotland Manager of the Year Awards this afternoon, Strachan said: "If you are going to make change then make big changes - don't just tamper with it, do it properly and make it worthwhile. "In my opinion, quite simply, make a league for all the full time clubs. These clubs are putting their money and their necks and jobs on the line and if you are part time you are not really doing that. You are really a community club if you are part time. When a reporter asked "Should that include Rangers?" He replied "Anyone who wants to be full time, anyone who wants to put up the money and bring money into the game and bring in sponsors, they have to be the priority. "So make a league for everyone who wants to be full time and, if not, go and have your own league. You can still bring players through but be a community club. "If at some stage you want to put your neck on the line and join the full time league then go for it. "But at the moment I think that would simplify it all." Yep...says it all really, he aint 'Celtic minded' that is for sure. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gordon-strachan-calls-bold-reconstruction-1849761

Jeez how depressing to read that, what two phone calls and two emails? Seems the organizer is incompetent at best.

His contract runs out end of May

Can't say I'm delighted at the prospect of Dorin Goian coming back, but the thought of signing Nicky Clark fills me with hope. He scored his 2nd hat-trick of the season at the weekend (all coming in the 2nd half) against Forfar on their 3G pitch taking his tally to 38 for the season - three short of the club RECORD. Here's how he done it. His first goal came when all alone at the back post was picked out by his strike partner - although Clark missed the ball completely with his right foot, he did guide it into the net with the other. His second goal came when he played a one two with Burns - then right-footed into the top right hand corner first time. He completed his hat-trick when Holt seized on a loose ball before sliding Clark in behind the back line again, he easily rounded the keeper and tapped into the empty net. 38 goals? Not bad for a 21 year old.

Best person to answer that is his manager Allan Johnston Clark was a midfielder until Johnston's appointment he moved him up front - to great effect

Donald Findlay anyone?

An intelligent bloke who has Rangers at heart will do

Eh, aye thank you Charles...shudder to think what's in front of us now. One thing is for sure though...at least another FULL season of Ally and his pals is guaranteed

Aye Charles Green is racist, I'll keep my opinions to me hahaha....some on here are so ulrta sensitive it's amazing and they tell me how to post? Getting very annoying with their 'this is correct and this isn't stuff' using it as if they are some god sent wank...well if it isn't offensive Charles Green is a 'mucker' and he'l mange to somehow get it right. WATP! It's not his intention just a natural way of thinking Ha la dee la am sloshed watp

Where are you coming from? Why don't you just hammer other posters? And I'll just continue to post?

I lost it a bit with the 'get to fuck' comment...should have said 'go away' or maybe 'don't annoy me'
