Shocking time of year to be playing internationals as the business end of the season approaches with Champions League knock out stages. Its not a match I'll be tuning into but I do wish Wee Gogs all the best and hope to see a much improved side from what Levein did.

No thanks to big Eck, another terrific player in his day though to show Im not anti Eck. I cant split McLeish and McCoist for tactical unawareness, baffling decision making, playing players out of position and not having a stronger assistant. McLeish has seen some success with Birmingham and did manage Scotland to a win in France but no thanks to coming back to Rangers.

There is no question about everyones effection for Ally when looking at him as a player, Ive countless top memories. One that sticks out is his 300th goal for the club which me and 3 school mates earned a detention for skipping classes. It was against Aberdeen on a Friday night league match in November 1994, it had been moved to the Friday as the stadium needed prepared the following day so Raith could beat Celtic in the League Cup final on the Sunday. We needed the afternoon off to get to the game on time. It was the only goal in the 1-0 win.

Stopped reading after these paragraphs. This guy becomes a bigger tit by the day. This statement should be framed and put on the walls of Hampden so in a few years time he can be reminded. How on earth can he JUDGE that no other plan has a chance of success but a system that has failed in 2 countries will be a success.

This could revive Forests season and still give them a chance at the play offs. Maybe the owners realised the error and pulled out on the signing last week, ok that would be dirty tactics but if they sacked him after 7 games they'd have had to pay him. Ive said a few times, he'll be the next Aberdeen manager.

No probs sir, I got the pedantic bug from a few posters on here But I remember the game well, watching it with a big group of mates and even 1 or 2 of them applauded saying that was unbeliveable. Debate on BBC now about the best ever England player, Gazza mentioned a few times. He is up there with Charlton and Moore for me, for ability alone he wins, he just didnt play enough games. 57 caps should have been 87. If they had him around 92-94 and playing like he did at WC 90 and Euro 96 then it wouldnt be a debate who was the best.

Sorry to be pedantic but Hendry wasnt a team mate at the time, he was still at Blackburn. Hendry didnt join until Advocaat came in 98 But I agree, awesome goal, one of the best.

This is what happens when you cross the power that be...Weapons inspector David Kelly, former MP Robin Cook.

And left today....

In theory it is a 55th title but in reality it is SFL Div 3 title no.1 The reason it wont be No.55 is because the previous 54 have made us Scottish Champions, top of the ladder out of all 38 or 40 or 42 teams. This one makes us the champions of 10 team Div 3 only, and there is another 3 titles being won in the other leagues also. Celtic can win the next few titles and catch us up but our percentage will always better than there's at least until we are back in the top flight for a few seasons. IF it was a race to 50 then we won and some more.

That was going to be my comment also, that was a shocking pitch yet they still managed to look as if they were playing on a bowling green. Its sad to say but I think Gazza is beyond help. He's been on the TV in the last year or 2 saying he is clean but Ive never been convinced. I hope Im wrong and someone / something can get through to him then he can help himself. I think its a disgrace the way people use him like this first clip. And there isnt enough help from him in the game itself, everyone always seems to just talk about what he did when he was at the top to get goo viewing, Schmeichels comments are right. Absolute genius, we are all brought up in generations where we watch players and i wouldnt swap Gazza and Laudrup for any other. The fact he has went straight to the clinic in the states could be his last saving grace....make it work Paul!

Yeah now we know why Thompson said things werent bad financially, home to Rangers and managing a full house despite Rangers refusing 4000 tickets then a Dundee Derby. Smells like fash!

We need a leader. Whether that is a defender, midfielder or a striker there was nobody yesterday who looked like they could stand up and be counted and rally his team mates.

Then that would be bad management. The climate is something that the player should been aware of when signing. If he is under contract and being paid then he gets a boot up the ass if he has a bad attitude.

Incompetent springs to mind. Whats with chasing these Aussie players (Stella and McKay) then not even giving them a chance before punting them away.

Spot on Dan. Its not about going out to a SPL side in the cup, its the lack of improvement on the park against Div 3 sides in general. Ive always said a 1 off bad day at the office is allowed but we get too many in between a 6-2 against some part timers and everything is rosey when we bag 5 or 6 goals. I like what Billy Davies has done at all his clubs in England. A lot of people praised Nigel Atkins for what he did at Southampton and thought the sacking was mad, it was the same as Davies at Derby. He took them from the bottom of the championship and promoted...he probably got them promoted too soon / early and wasnt prepared for the Premier league and as such Chairmen then overlook what the manager has done. He would certainly be a contender for me but not my first choice. Yet its not a debate at the moment as we still have McCoist at the helm.

Is that minus's??? Alexander is an international goalkeeper and should be communicating better. 3's are generous for me

The counter to that is we saw the same dross when he inherited WS's squad full of internationals.

9/1 to win at Everton today. Had to have a bit of that and they are up 2-1.

Rangers 0-3 Inverness Dundee Utd 3-0 Rangers This with a team of full time professionals on weekly wage more than their opponents and the majority of players with top flight experience. Playing Dundee Utd was a measuring stick of where we are. The fans were genuinely excited about this game after all what happened in 2012, yet after the club refusing tickets the team also produced a no-show. We are showing no promising or development on the park as a team at all. As it stands if we make it back into the SPL we will be fighting around 8th in the table. Sorry Ally. Absolute legend of legend of a player and ambassador. We wont forget what you did for the club pulling us through the tough times but not hand the baton over to someone who can take us forward. It is time for a new Rangers manager. I welcome any debate with anyone who doesnt agree with this.

Ditto what he said. Although not sure id wait until the summer.

His level was St Johnstone, what do we expect? Good coach make average players better and mould them into a team. McCoist expects Sandazas SPL experience to be enough, yet coming up against an SPL side we get found out. Ricky Sbragia was on talksport last week saying how much he loved developing and improving players, what is Durrant and McDowall doing?

I'll give it the first 20 mins, if we have set out all wrong then we can have a rant

Yes and our manager is due us today also, he has to set them out to win. We are in a default position but still The Rangers and should be going to Tannadice expecting to win.

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere but Im just catching up on yesterdays news after being offline for 2 days. This is as bad as SPL....it would still have 4 leagues, and they want to ADD teams?? We need a reduction unless its regional. Dopes from top to bottom: SPL, SFA and SFL.
