He's back to fitness, we've won the league...now give him a game!!!

Not for me, its too similar to what we've had under umbro. Im hoping for something a little different like when NTL and Nike joined together. None of this V neck stuff and tight cycling tops.

Now we have been cleared of this it seems administration should never have happened in the first place. Which poses the question why we still have a transfer embargo? Why should we be playing in Div 3 in the first place? Why do we still have a european ban? This witch hunt has been exposed, we should go after the SPL and SFA for compensation over loss of earnings from Europe.

Would have preferred Adidas, they are miles ahead at the moment. We've plenty Puma stores out here so Id be disappointed if I dont see shirts for sale in the shops.

I said the same that he deserved the chance but at the same time improvement was a must. And I dont think anyone can deny there has been no improvement. I refuse to believe Ally would be so naive that he wouldnt see this as a great opportunity for the club to build great foundations with a new start...it should be done this season and not when we get back to the SPL. To be fair we could still start this in Div 2 but I doubt we will.

What exactly will the fine be for? If we are not guilty then why a fine?

Celtic really do need to start given attendances rather than telling us how many tickets were still available.

As Craig David says "Im walking away...." thats what Rangers FC should do. Avoid this farce like the plague. The game is crumbling in front of everyones eyes. The fans of ALL teams have been ignored. Switz coach laughing at this decision yet Doncaster is allowed to get his way???? Dont get involved in this nonsense.

Deary me....I thought it was only McCoist who could create McCulloch in defence threads by playing him there. Big Jig is a striker, he always has been and always will be. Play him there only.

Sure, Id welcome you to a debate in the 'shit' thread that exists there.

Its a bit more tricky when they have been brainwashed into thinking they are doing it for their own, their family and the country's freedom. If they knew the real reason that it was to satisfy the need for greed of the ruling class then Im sure they would take a back step.

Thats debatable. However what would have been interesting is to see what side of the fence he would have been on last year during admin....would he have stayed with his boy hood hero's or joined up with his mates Naismith and Whittaker.

And that opens a new can of worms straight away and again brings the social devide into play due to having 2 national anthems. If GSTQ is blast out from the Rangers end it gets booed (ironically by other British people) yet Flower of Scotland would get booed when sang from others fans. I have no problem with the anthem before a cup final or the like but there is no doubt fans from both ends sing either anthem just to wind up opposition. My view is both GSTQ and FoS are both dour and boring and probably the worst national anthems out there. Always though Scotland the brave was better for Scotland and maybe RB or Land of hope and glory for UK. PS - It must be good being French with a bouncy anthem like theirs.

Fair point for you personnally although Rangers still dont have anything to do with any illegal wars the troops are forced into. But I remember sitting in the away end at Tannadice with a group of 6 or 7 neds infront of me. They were honking of cheap drink and could barely stand and just attempted to sing GSTQ / RB etc for 90 mins whilst trying to wind up home fans. Nothing patriotic or political about it, it was just idiocracy. If 1 of them starting to sing "My wife is a cheap slut" the next one would have joined in. RB is a cracking song but its place is at the royal albert hall on the last night of the proms.

Listening to Swansea fans on various shows etc they have all said Laudrup has improved them a lot this season. Rodgers was given credit because he was there during the promotion but Martinez and Paulo Sousa set things up. Swansea are a breath of fresh air and look the real deal unlike teams who have came up in the past like Hull and Blackpool. They have managed to attract some quality where the likes of Reading dont. Stoke are another who have cemented their place in the Premier League (a bit like Bolton did) but you really couldnt find 2 different styles of teams if you tried, and Id be watching Swansea everyday of the week ahead of Stoke. Hence back to the original point - a fresh start all that time ago and look what they have now. Yes its exactly what most fans have been screaming for given we are in Div 3. McCoist, Durrant and McDowall did superb bringing the team through the storm with what 8 players? And that was there bit done. The baton should be handed over to a fresh team which includes B Laudrup and / or Ray Wilkins.

Nice to see its in the right place though. Footie chat

OP is just something Ive said for about 10 years. When I started going to Rangers games I would sing any song, I was brainwashed into thinking these songs were Rangers songs to fit into the next bloke. Then when I became aware I said to myself what exactly has a battle in 1690 got to do with Rangers Football Club, the club werent even created then!! Its just a case of the social issues being brought into football. Dont get me wrong some of the songs are great in the right occasion and catchy, yet I think if we reworded them with meanings to do the team we support we could enjoy them all the same. If not then people have issues that dont belong in football.

A stroll in the park. Swansea are at a fork in the road, they have the potential to go on and be a top 8 team by keeping their players and manager. Its amazing that a side like Swansea have a defence that you would pick over Arsenals every day of the week.

Rather him be at Dundee than near Ibrox.

I still call it the Carling cup myself. Cracking final to see these 2 clubs at it. If it was Man Utd v Chelsea it would be over hyped and be a boring game. Plus how many times have we seen the big boys at Wembley. Amazing for Bradford C to fall away from the Premier League (at a time when Swansea were plying their trade in the lowest league) yet be in League 2 and beat 3 premier league sides on the way. Swanseas rise has been brilliant, they were foot of the 4th tier not so long ago. They play great football thanks to Martinez, Sousa, Rodgers and now Laudrup. Got to say I want Swansea to win it for Laudrup. Pure Gentleman and oozes class and they deserve a trophy. If it was Cardiff Id want Bradford to win but they have won just making it to the final. 3-0 the Swans.

1) The bloke ODriscoll had Forest in play off contention (he is now doing a decent job at trying to keep Bristol C up), 2) Eck comes in and they fall away with only 1 win against the bottom side. 3) Billy Davies wins 2 out of 2 and all of a sudden they have a great chance of the play offs again. All with the same set of players.

Yes agreed and it works both ways, any monies due to Rangers pre-2012 should also be given to us but this is where 1 rule for Rangers and another for the rest kicks in.

The German way should be followed throughout Europe. Pay a fair fee to get in and watch a good level of fitness. Cant stand when players through the dummy out and dont try like Pete has suggested above about Messi. The greatest players should still have graft in their game.

18-12-12 is the best scenario, reducing the amount of lower league clubs has to improve the standard.
