I am not sure why the Semi final draw wasnt made at the same time as the quarters, they usually do this on the same day. I prefer it when they do each draw after each round though. But perhaps they are waiting to see who gets through then the old sticky balls will come out to try make it an El Clasico final. But agree Bayern and Dortmund will have a lot to say about that and I wouldnt bet against 1 or both of them being in the final.

I do see that view also, but if nobody fights back then the Scottish game goes even further backwards for the next 3-4 years with this 12-12-18. That is going to go through and it will be stuck there. Even the fans of all clubs dont want it. TV contracts wont get signed with no Rangers so we should make a stronger stance.

I cant work out why deals like this cant be agreed and are more based on performance and playing bonuses. Give him a lower basic then he makes more on clean sheets and performances. If we have Bell coming in it gives players an incentive to play and he'll work harder to keep his place. He's been a good servant, was a fine back up to McGregor then cemented his place as No.1 and didnt run away like others at the sign of trouble. Im not convinced Bell will be a top Ibrox keeper. The standard of signings isnt good enough long term but we are in a catch 22 situation imposed by the SPL. The come back may take longer than expected as when we get back to the top flight we're going to have a squad of decent youngsters and average SPL standard players. Thats why our coaching staff needs to be stronger and better to develop players more and get every % of talent out of the experienced players.

Sacking is over the top and as Dan says it was an opportunity to cut him. During the phone call he repeatedly said he wanted to do things properly and not behind Rangers back. He was obviously in a weakened position and is talking in his 2nd language. Players probably get calls like this from real agents else I fail to see how he even spoke back to the club. The caller should get done for fraud. He said a few times he was friends with Willie Mckay?

I think its time the club came out with a statement saying we wont be part of SPL again until the incompetent are removed. I hope Green is pursuing a move elsewhere at the moment.

I was at that Scotland v England game, way too young at the time to remember / appreciate who was on display

After first leg PSG 2-2 Barcelona. Bayern 2-0 Juventus Malaga 0-0 Dortmund Real Madrid 3-0 Galatasaray Barca should cruise through now, can see them hitting PSG early in the Nou Camp and that will finish the tie. Bayern still have a bit of work to do, Juve could repeat the score at home but Id say Munich are through. Evenly poised now both teams have to go for it and score, if Malaga score then Dortmund need 2. Would fancy the Germans at home though. Real are through. I find this quarter final line up refreshing with no English side in it for once. I usually like to see Man Utd and Arsenal in the CL but good to see this teams.

Lets have the table then.

Just change it to 54+1andcantcount.

Obviously wasnt Barry Ferguson posting....

Find Neil Murray for negligence and sack Cribari, Faure and Argy for being imposters and we can easy keep them. Bocanegra back would arguably be the biggest signing of the season. How good would he be!!! Does Davie Weir fancy another year??? He could stroll it. Goian - decent, bit of a poor mans Bert Konterman so far. Would take him as long as he doesnt have to defend. Gova

It is 55 Titles what ever way you look at it. Titles = how many leagues you win. Scottish Titles remain at 54. Thats the number we count. When we when the SPL again (and we will) it will be 55+1

The Rangers fans will speak again. "Jog on SPL." We go back on fair terms...end of story.

A top man who transfered his contract over...will be remembered as our keeper this historic season. He should stay on as Id rather him than Bell. If not all the best.

Id not be mate. And you know my ambitions for Rangers. Im all for giving a chance like McLeish and McCoist but both were failures, although Id draw the line at Craig Levein, if he goes near Ibrox 300 fans should make sure its to the TV boxes only!! Calderwood is 2 steps ahead of them in management terms and would do better for me. I seriously wish we'd wake up tomorrow with 2020 ambitions and appoint a quality technical coach for the future.....

Stage one complete! That was my words other day briefly as we 'scrapped over the line'. Ally wear a T-shirt saying this as if it mission accomplished. Stage 1 is complete but the modifcations required for Stage 2 is scary!

Chelsea into the Semi's again. Their FA cup record of late is brilliant. 4 wins in the last 6 years.

I wish people would use the Football Chat area more. There can be good debate there also.

If its Div 2 as it is this season then yes. If the 12-12-18 goes through and we are in the 2nd 12 then I wonder what expectations are. Does anyone realistically believe we will win the 2nd group of 8? Currently that would include Dundee Utd and Hearts and we already seen how far behind Dundee utd we are now.

This situation has just gone beyond embarrassing. Ive got a feeling we hold the ACE card. They can push through whatever system they want but if we dont join to an SPL 2 then it collapses. I hope we stick to our guns and tell them to jog on unless its on our terms. Thanks to the SFL for this season but it is a lifetime of christmas's for all the chairmen of the Div 3 clubs by playing us twice. Queens Park are going to be set up for 10 years after this Saturday.

After a disasterous run in 2013 so far my luck has taken a turn this weekend and a couple of wee wins. Singapore races - 2 winners Saturday coupon up - Wigan, West Ham, Sheff Wed Djemba Ba first goalscorer v Man Utd

Had tenner on Ba to get the first goal at 6/1 so thats made things a bit better

I know mate, bit of a let down. I got the pizza and beer in for it thinking it would be a cracking monday evening. I'll try down some beers so the 2nd half might look better

With Jim Leishman as assistant??

Just kicked off, fancy Chelsea to win this.
