Very moving indeed. I have to say carrying a coffin must be one of the toughest and most mental tough moments someone could do. Its still a shock as he had so much to offer to the Scottish Game. He was a likeable guy whenever he was on TV, radio etc. He was what the OF is all about. Did he not once mention something about Andy Goram's name being mentioned on his tombstone??

Id take Lovenkrands back in a instant

Im not sure who Draig is, sounds a bit like a Bond villian! :moon: But yes you can do the cup final but MAKE SURE YOU DO IT

I think Im going to be a 1 man team here but I dont care. I honestly am not against Kenny Miller signing this summer. Im not all for it either, he is far from my first choice - but if we got him at the right price then id take him. If WS is going to continue with the 4-5-1 then Miller is a better option than Boyd and Darcheville. (JCD has played 1 x 90 match for us.) Also WS knows how to get the best out of Miller and he always does well in that role for Scotland. So if he comes I hope he is judged on what he does on the pitch. There will be a number of people against signing him just because he played for Celtic and did that badge thing - I dont give a monkeys about that. Im sure if it was reversed and he signed for us after Celtic and scored against them he would have done the same thing. This wont fill much people with enthusisim but i can see our forward line next season being Miller and Healy. I hope Darch loses some muscle as if he can play 90 mins every week he would be a big player for us.

PS, i just wonder if Allan McGregor had stayed fit whether it would be the difference in winning the league. A few have said he would have stopped 1 of the Celtic goals and the defence was so comfortable with him. Its not a punt at Alexander who has came in and did well but McGregor has been superb this season and is by far the most improved player. If it wasnt for Carlos then he would have been my POTY.

12 months, thats the whole of next season. So we have to go and get another striker as Cousin and Boyd are likely to leave. As Gav says im not bothered about Burke being out for 6 months. Its not nice the lad has an injury but if he was fit Id be hoping he was one to exit in the summer anyway. He just hasnt ever delivered and he cant be considered being promising anymore.

Firstly I reckon it will be a pretty boring match a bit like ths cup final last year. Plus the pitch is reported to be poor condition. But i hope not and hope we get a great game like the league match a few weeks ago. I have a sneaky feeling Chelsea will win it but Im not bothered either way. If Man Utd win then il be happy for Sir Awex as it will put him up there with the absolute best. Another CL is what is missing from his CV. Il also be happy for Giggs and Scholes. But Ive a feeling for Chelsea 2 Man Utd 1 aet

Yip, go for it Mike

Dont hold back, say what we all want to hear!!

Idiot!! Actually Warren Barton is over here half the time doing a game show and he is a nutter aswell

Im quite confused how this works. Roman owns Chelsea correct? Well if Chelsea has to pay the money back to Roman then wont the money come from the owner - Roman?? If not, then Chelsea are going to make Leeds look like a success!! If Chelsea dont win the CL tomorrow then it wouldnt surprise me if Roman walked.

Id share your sentiments Fraser pal if I didnt think Dundee Utd were going to lie down. They will be delighted that they can put one over us after 2 saturdays ago. The stack has came upon us this season and we can blame both the SFA, SPL and ourselves for throwing the league away.

And he is only going to get worse IMO. You can see how much of a poor footballer he is when he fluffs his attempts. He is the luckiest strikers ive seen. His penatly 2 weeks ago was another mis-hit yet he got lucky.

We knew before the Hibs game we could afford 1 slip up but we went out and slipped up twice. The Motherwell game was the bad one for me because we were leading in this game. but to be 4 goals behind is hard to take. If was even 1 or 2 then id be hopeful.

Very surprising. Will there be an explanation as to why they resigned?

I would hate to think the death of anyone would be used to an advantage. Could Celtic really stump so low? It has to be said Burns did much more for Celtic than O Donnell. What was the time gap again between when O Donnell died and Celtics next game? It seems some Rangers fans have more respect for late former players of our rivals than Celtic.

Michael Owen is on 110k a week basic yet barely kicks a ball. Even Newcastle are trying to get his wages down to 60k a week. But Man Utd look like they are coming in with a 7 million bid for him. But i bet Man U dont offer him near 100k a week. Owen is also overrated and has lost 2 yards of pace.

They have Mikel who is getting better and expected to be Makelele long term replacement.

Calscot is correct, its not the 4-5-1 that cost us its WS selections in the 4-5-1. This formation has to be played so its is 4-3-3 on attack which means 3 of the midfielders should be attack minded. We havent had that in Whittaker, Ferguson and Davis when he plays RM. To answer the question, yes we did blow it.

If Jose goes there then I can see it being true. It would be a good move for both parties. Chelsea's midfield needs a bit of refreshing and I actually think J Cole, Essien, Ballack and Makelele is the better set up so they can play 2 upfront.

I thought he would be a great signing for Arsenal and is 1 of the 3 class players they need to win the league. But ive heard the Bayern rumours and think he will go there. But he should come back to Ibrox!!

I dont think he has another option today Pete. He knows we have to score goals. We cant rely on Dundee Utd doing us a favour because I just cant see it!

If ever he has a chance to win over me then its now!! I firmly think he should play because Cousin is not interested and doesnt deserve to play. So Im hoping Walter plays Boyd (but certainly not in a 4-5-1) and gives him support. He needs a player to do all the running for him then set up the chances. So come on Boyd, grab a hat-trick today along with a few others players getting one. We really do need to win by 6 today to realistically give us a chance.

I agree with Nokiss, if we go out and give it a proper shot then we are capable of getting quite a few goals. I'll get a preview up.

Pretty much spot on with that Pete. We need a bit of class in the midfield and have done for years now. We need someone who can change a game. Ive always said Buffel could do it but gave up 6 months ago. We need to go out and get a class player from somewhere along with another quality midfielder, but that will be difficult. I agree with Pete about Thomson and Davis. Next season is Thomson's chance to step up and become a future Rangers captain, he has the potential. He isnt the most skilful player but he is reminding me of Stuart McCall a bit. Id take Davis but he cant play right midfield. Id honestly consider going for Scott Brown for the RM. Lets get back to 4-4-2. A good midfield next season would be: Brown______Davis__________Thomson________Beasley Gav has a point about Broadfoot though. Ok, some players will make the odd foul throw but he did it what twice against Fiorentina and 4 times against Dundee Utd. It was only picked up once in each game. For me he should be fined and made to train with the youths for a day who should show him how to take a throw.
