Miller was regarded our most dangerous player by the opposition...I can't see him leaving, hope not.

I hope it isn't Miller, I'm a fan of him...would rather it was Wallace.

Yes absolutely. Edit: (it is questionable)

Derek Rae: Hard for fans to move on from title-stripping argument, but Scottish football must come together Another zoomer.... The SPFL statement issued yesterday may well have stated that there will be no further action taken against Rangers over their use of EBTs, and set out the legal rationale behind the decision, but it would be naïve in the extreme to think that the issue has now been settled in the minds of fans. No matter what the SPFL said, whether that was to move forward with stripping titles or not, they were never going to please everyone. There was always going to be a section on one side of the argument who will not easily move on, and an independent review is unlikely to appease the supporters who feel wronged either. I can understand the point of view of those fans who feel uneasy about the decision not to take any further action. But from the SPFL’s point of view, it was clearly a case of being damned if they did, and damned if they didn’t. It seems clear to me that there should be an asterisk placed beside the years in question where Rangers were artificially inflated by their use of EBTs, and to deny that, I think, would be churlish. I’ve covered football in Italy and Turkey when they had their own cases of serious financial mismanagement at some of their biggest clubs, and there is no easy way of resolving these issues. But whether title-stripping is the answer or not, the one thing that is for sure is that this is an extremely difficult period for Scottish football. Being in America now, it has allowed me to look at the whole situation in Scottish football currently with something of an outsider’s perspective, and I do think that as difficult as it may be, the game really does need all of the clubs to now come together. Looking in from the outside of that Scottish football bubble, I can certainly see the point that Stewart Milne had when the Aberdeen chairman said last week that everyone involved in the game has to move on, even though as a fan, I can see why other supporters might not feel that is so easy to do. But I truly believe the only way we can plot a course forward for our national sport is to work together, and that means everyone pulling in a similar direction. Rangers have to buy back into Scottish football and play an active role in moving the game forward, and by the same token, the other clubs have to accept that they are very much part of it. I increasingly found last season as I covered the Scottish Premiership that the game in our country has become rather po-faced at the top level. It isn’t life or death. We’re supposed to be enjoying a sport that we all love, but with the bigger clubs I found one-upmanship on a scale I’d never encountered before, and the constant grandstanding does become tiresome. When I think about Scottish football, what I really care about is what goes in between those white lines, and I’m sure the majority of supporters up and down the country feel the same. But I’ve said this before - and it is worth repeating - we are pretty peculiar in our country that we spend so much time talking about all the other stuff that goes on around the football, rather than the football itself. Unfortunately, but perhaps understandably in regards to the legitimacy of the honours earned by Rangers during the period in question, this debate will rumble on for many years to come. There was always going to be an outcry at the decision no matter what it was. One can only hope that some day, a consensus can be found so that everyone who cares about Scottish football can come together for the good of the game. Taken from The Evening Tim(e)s.

Europa League Play-off Round: A total of 44 teams will play in the play-off round: the 29 winners of the third qualifying round, and the 15 losers of the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. The Dhims are playing in 3QR. Europa League Group Stage: A total of 48 teams play in the group stage: 16 teams which enter in this stage, the 22 winners of the play-off round, and the 10 losers of the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League play-off round. This will mean if the yahoos win next week then they are GUARANTEED a EL group place at worse. Wiki...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%80%9318_UEFA_Europa_League

Tom English spouts it on twitter...Jackie Bird & Gollum were using the term openly on the tea-time BBC Scottish News yesterday for the benefit of those not on twitter. They all want to spread the word.

If dhims lose...they drop to Europa League play-off round. If they win then lose CL play-off round they drop straight into EL Group stage.

Yes. See above. No, tims would avoid 'Pool because they have 'Champions' route in play-off round.

He better or the fans will turn on him...how nice that would be.

I'm a great fan of Kenny Miller's effort for the jersey breaking sweat for the cause and shouting at teammates to do likewise (love 100% effort)...Naismith has the same quality with more ability (I think)...so on that basis I'd love to see him back. But if the manager doesn't want him then I'll have to accept it.

Forgot they were playing...icing on a brilliant day today!

In the last paragraph he says "I have worked..." A blatant LIE!!!

Anyone know where this happened? My guess, either the Daily Rhecord offices or BBC Pacific Quay!

I seem to get less good at it year on year...so yeah, I'm not very good either. Yes mate, doesn't cost a thing. As Gribz posted above, a minimum of 6 players would make it worthwhile for me to open up a GersNet league.

Anybody interested in this? I'm open to start a Gersnet league on it if you want...join up here...https://fantasy.premierleague.com/ I've been part of this for years now and totally addicted. Any positives then I'll get codes for you to join.

Got to laugh at the plea "support from all the honest teams in Scotland" - Those cnts are the most dishonest bunch on the planet!!! I believe Joe O’Rourke smokes dope and mingles with the Groin Brigade.

You must be talking to timmy mate? It's bath time for you buddy

Ibrox - 'Unwelcoming and scary' Where the fck do you go with that? Mental obsessed post if you ask me!

Pete...you are just like me then! I too supported the SNP for opinions I held back in the day, more to do with what's best for Scotland and how the English tories kept f'kg us up! I was an Arthur Scargill fan back in the day, he got a hammering by the MSM. Politics is something I used to have a lot of time for, but not now - I have a complete scunner for it today, and basically reached the stage where I couldn't care less anymore. There are only a couple of things that boil my pish nowadays...May and Sturgeon!

I'm so proud to be a Rangers supporting non-catholic...the media stretching right up to the Scottish Government have an issue with that! Well they won't get my vote for independence - Ever!

Protestantism and Unionism is BAD! A real bad if you hate it! I love it, always will 'til I die. Rangers FC are BAD too because the media says so and that's final! Their coverage on it is sectarian! In all honesty...I love the Rangers and hate what C*ltic represent...at the end of the day we are all Scottish - yes even the plastic paddies! Born Under a Union Jack is a fact I love too.

"Coaching from the back" Something I've not seen for many a year - Bears no doubt in full agreement about this. Pedro always says the right things, he's a fantastic speaker in what we want to hear...he desperately needs this to work out for the sake of himself never mind everyone else. I'm (after a couple of weeks) turning back towards him...want him so much to succeed!
