I hope that's right. While I can't say I'm impressed by the two Dubyas (out of ignorance, you understand) the alternatives are a gloomy prospect.

But whoever it is I back them until proven duffers likewise the team.

Why, yes, I remember it well but I always thought it was Ian McMillan at inside right not the Downing Street maestro.

Rangers have had mighty centre halves during my time - Willie Woodburn, Geordie Young, Willie Telfer, Bill Paterson then Ronnie McKinnon. Colin Jackson well deserves to be in that number

I hope we all get behind whoever is in charge.

 

I would have difficulty with Neil Lennon mind you.

I bet he'd have got us straight up and playing better football.

But I'd rather be relegated to the Lowland League.

We always seem to be looking at Northern Irish players, but I'm not sure why when it's not exactly a country you'd class as a hotbed of top class footballing talent.

Best, Jennings, Dougan, Whiteside, Blanchflower, McIlroy, Neill.

Steady, Rab. No point in signing any player until the manager/coach/dof is appointed.

There will be plenty players better than Carmichael on the market.

Rangers blundered into an elephant trap and now all the pygmies are dancing round the pit with poisoned arrows. They're loving it.

They were getting overrun by plumbers.

I don't have a problem with R5. Miles better in every respect than Radio Pacific Shelf, sorry Pacific Quay.

That is very true but the hatred of Rangers has intensified over the last three years.

Making the right choice is a hiding to nothing.

Remember the rising stars that were Adkins and McDermott? What of Brendan Rogers now?

I agree with that, Steve, but Barce did say you need good flesh round the spine.

You are spot on about Scott and Stevenson. Imagine being a defender run breathless by Scott then wee Wullie comes on to destroy you.

On that particular team and Barce's theory I would just mention Ritchie, McKinnon and Millar.

4 - 0 to the Arsenal.

HRH the Duke of Cambridge looking sick as a parrot.

Arsenal : the last of the Old School clubs. Villa are just a waste of space and time. A nothing club, from nowhere which never does anything.

Bit harsh on the Villa. They did manage a euro-cup win.

Who do you want to win the effy cup?

Two clubs of braw pedigree though Villa have been well off the pace for decades now.

Arsenal for me, fellow aristocrats of British football.

Black to PNE?

Sir Tom Finney'll be birlin' in his grave.

Not even Johnnie Hubbard could do that.

Ally Scott tried his best and scored one or two. Just wasn't a very good player.

I never expected DA to take the job full time. I'm surprised he took it even on a temporary basis.

They need a makem style Souness.

Fan-Fan....

Chap at third slip looks useful.

So, gs, Motherwell v Partick Thistle and indeed Aberdeen v Dundee - no point in these fixtures is there?

The answer is simple. Rangers play celtic thirty one matches a season or better still until one team has sixteen wins and then we can all go to the pictures or the beach or wherever else we want to be bored.

"There would be hundreds of meaningless games." - gs

And there we have it. The attitude of journos and the modern fan. If your team is not going to win the competition it's not worth it. But every single match is a competition. Can your team beat that shower from Aberfermlinenock on a Saturday afternoon? Old fashioned and from journos' point of view boring outlook but why else watch WBA v Stoke for example.

Not the best footballer I ever saw in the blue though better than many gave him credit for but the most versatile and definitely the greatest Ranger.

Anyone beat this for all round achievement? Selected at full back, wing half and inside forward (right and left in all the positions) as well as centre half and temporary, acting centre forward. Didn't play on the wing but surged up the touchline when required.

Very well deserved honour.

DA offered the management at Sunderland fulltime. He'll decide next week.
