Currently on sale at Ibrox - got mine last week (for the Saturday and Sunday). Sure you have to be a season ticket holder. I'm sure one of our Gersnet members who have a season ticket and arn't going will offer to get the tickets for you Cammy F

The Loovens 'kick' at Edu was a cowardly attack and I hope that he is sanctioned for it. Thankfully we can file Loovens under the 'ones that got away'.... Cammy F

Will depend on how many players we have to sell in the summer. Make no mistake, we are going to loose up to 10 players. We have had makings of decent squads before but due to us having to sell players, we have never had conistancy. You can have as many good players as you wish, but if they aren't allowed to gell into a team, you will continue to struggle. I'd have Alexander ahead of McGregor, in fact wouldn't be fussed if McGregor was sold (he is a sellable asset). SW is a wonderful player and one of the only players we have that can actually get the ball down and run at opponents. He has suferred since joining Rangers as WS has played him in FOUR different positions. IMO he'd make a brilliant right back and deserves a run in this position. Papac is currently first choice left back but can see if leaving the club if a suitable offer is received. We urgently require a left back and if the rumours are to be believed, Michael Ball coulb be heading back to Ibrox in the summer. Boogie is deffinately one who will be sold. He has had a fantastic season and strolled through yesterdays encounter. We didn't think that WS could replace CC - can he find yet another fantstic centre-half? Weir - coming to the end of his career and we will NOT get another season out of him. Stevie Smith - sorry, but can't see him remaining at Ibrox Davis - needs to be moved centrally and this could happen as I expect Mendes to be one of the players moved on in the summer. Edu - fantastic player and one that should be a mainstay of the team for years to come (if he isn't sold) Thomson - if the rumours are to believed, he was on his way to the EPL THIS summer. This will now be on hold dur to his injury but if he returns to the form pre-injury he'll be sold in the January window. Mendes - he will be sold in the summer Lafferty - will take over from Boyd when Boyd finally leaves. Rangers will actively try to sell Boyd in the summer if he survives the cull, he will not receive a new contract and be allowed to leave nest summer Novo - another player I'd expect to leave in the summer Boyd - see above Miller - revitalised his career so a move away not impossible as we are desperate for any money we can rake in Velicka - another one who'll be moved on Fleck - not as promising a season as we'd expected and the future is not as clear cut as we all thought it would be. Aaron - simply can't understand why this lad was signed on loan. Expect him to return to Valancia sooner rather than later. We'll also loose squad players like McCulloch, Dailly, Beasley etc in an attempt to curb costs. Until we can regain a level of consistancy, we'll be up against it. Cammy F

Edu was outstanding yesterday, probably his best performance in a Rangers jersey. Davis was better than he's been recently - great goal and a fantastic goal-line clearence. All 4 midfielders put in a shift but still lack the killer ball at times. On a couple occaisions we broke on Cetlc in the 2nd half, a better ball would have seen Miller through. The real question is, can Edu be dropped for the returning Thomson? Cammy F

Blame it on the drink - I've always been a happy drunk Cammy F

OK, I agree However, they could and should have done something about this flag (and it's carrier) - falg was on display for the entire game And why did Rangers FC allow THEM access to IBROX before the game to set up a flag display? Grow a set Rangers and tell them to fuck off. Cammy F

Firstly, let me apologies in advance. I am just this minute home from the game (via a succession of watering holes) so this match report and ratings, may include spurious information, fanciful ratings and dream-like conclusions. However, it serve as warning to any youngsters reading this that drink is indeed, bad for you. As we approached Ibrox today, the weather was dreadful and it swamped Ibrox in a carpet of greyness. We just had to hope that the players wouldnââ?¬â?¢t be engulfed in the greyness nor that our mood would match the conditions come full-time. There were little surprises in the team line-ups, with both teams matching up in a 4-4-2 formation. We all thought that WS would go 4-5-1, but we have been playing 4-4-2 for most of the season. Velicka can count himself unlucky to have been dropped as he has been on a terrific run lately, but Kenny Miller proved that WS was correct in picking him putting in a sterling performance. The game kicked-off with torrential rain falling around Ibrox and it took just over 60 seconds for the first MOPE to be booked. Hartley showed their intentions with a terrible tackle on Miller. This set the tone for the game, but once again the referee let them away with diving, pushing, fouling and cheating. Vinegar of Castlemilk committed 7 fouls in the first 45 minutes but wasnââ?¬â?¢t even spoken to. Scott McDonald dived 4 times in the same period and again wasnââ?¬â?¢t even spoken to. In the stands, the MOPES once again were given free reign to indulge in their vile and repugnant sectarian songs with no interference from the Police. In fact, one officer next to us asked us ââ?¬Ë?what do you want me to do about it?ââ?¬â?¢ how about doing your duty and arresting the vile fookers. Sorry, I am digressing, back to the action on the pitch. We were the only team looking to play football the first half and were unlucky when Whittikar swung a vicious cross into the box which alluded everyone and smacked the post with Borac beaten. Soon after we got the breakthrough and goal that our play deserved. Kris Boyd fed Kenny Miller who spun brilliantly and fired a wonderful ball across the six yard line that Stevie Davis met and slammed home from close range. Ibrox erupted and bedlam ensued in the stands. Rangers seen out the remainder of the first half with little trouble. The Mopes came into the game a bit at the start of the 2nd half, but the Rangers defence were awesome and repelled the threat time after time. As well as the defence, there were stand-outs all over the pitch in blue. In fact, all players deserve immense credit for the performance at last showing the determination required playing for this wonderful club ââ?¬â?? institution. The MOPES huffed and puffed but had little cutting edge and Rangers were the team who looked most likely to score. Boyd passed up a wonderful opportunity then was unlucky with a couple of headers. As the final whistle sounded, the reactions of the fans could hardly have been more different. The Rangers support rightly hailed (sic) their heroes whilst The MOPES trudged back to their hovels to claim Masonic conspiracies and indulge in more sectarian singing. So we enter the last 3 games of the season leading the SPL table by two points. We are in the box-seat, the destination is in our own hands. If we show the determination, guts, fight and passion we demonstrated today in the remaining games then there is no reason why the SPL title wonââ?¬â?¢t be coming home. Whilst all the players deserve a pat on the back, step forward Maurice Edu, Boogie and Kenny Miller ââ?¬â?? all three were simply outstanding and led us to a glorious victory. Player Ratings Alexander ââ?¬â?? safe as houses especially at cross balls ââ?¬â?? couple of routine saves to make and did nothing wrong ââ?¬â?? 8/10 Christian Daily ââ?¬â?? had a decent game and the whole defence were outstanding ââ?¬â?? 7/10 David Weir ââ?¬â?? commanding in the air and partnered Boogie superbly ââ?¬â?? not bad for someone who was at The Somme ââ?¬â?? 7/10 Boogie ââ?¬â?? strolled through the game ââ?¬â?? in a word ââ?¬â?? immense -9/10 SW ââ?¬â?? a real talent and once again showed he can perform no matter where he is asked to play ââ?¬â?? 7/10 Stevie Davis ââ?¬â?? scored the winning goal and cleared a header of the line ââ?¬â?? one of his better performances ââ?¬â?? 7/10 Mendes ââ?¬â?? struggled to get a foothold in the game but kept trying and dug in deep in the 2nd half ââ?¬â?? 7/10 Edu ââ?¬â?? simply gets better and better with each passing game ââ?¬â?? once again my MOTM ââ?¬â?? 9.5/10 Smith ââ?¬â?? helped SW on the left but didnââ?¬â?¢t offer much offensively. Like Mendes dug in and tried until replaced by Lafferty ââ?¬â?? 7/10 Boyd ââ?¬â?? led the line well but missed a guilt edged chance to kill of the game. His attitude has improved and he had a decent game ââ?¬â?? 7/10 Miller ââ?¬â?? a constant thorn in the MOPES defence ââ?¬â?? non stop running and his cross for the goal was stunning ââ?¬â?? 8.5/10 Lafferty ââ?¬â?? played very well when introduced ââ?¬â?? 7/10 McCulloch ââ?¬â?? little time to impress ââ?¬â?? 5/10 Cammy F -

Rangers should invite more troops to the this weeks game - I suggest the SAS? Cammy F

If no one has claimed it by the middle of this week, I'll do it Cammy F

In all honesty, I'd have a FIT Barry Ferguson in against the MOPES ahead of ANY of our current midfield players. Mendes, Davis, Edu and Smith aren't the answer and as I said in the Hearts match report, continuing with this four will LOOSE us the SPL title - Edu in the centre isn't teh concern, its the 'wide' players that are the major concern. Against the MOPES you require 2 or 3 'battlers' in the centre and 2 genuine wide players to get at their full-backs. You also require someone up front who is willing to battle and has pace (rules out Boyd AND Velicka). Mendes was SHOCKING in the CIS Cup Final against the MOPES where he didn't appear to be up for the battle. Davis is being wasted wide right and we STILL haven't found an answer to the left wing position. Walter Smith got the ballance correct in the first OF game of the season, but has failed since. He must redescover the winning formula for Saturdays crunch game. Cammy F

Just thought that Boyd allowed himself to be 'bullied' by the Hearts defenders on too many occaisions. In saying that, wasn't his worst game in a Rangers jersey and his all-round performances and attitude have improved recently. Again, Dailly isn't being given any protection from Davis and with Davis going very narrow, Dailly doens't have an 'out ball' down the line. In counted 4 times in the 2nd half where Davis passed the ball to Dailly instead of delivering into the area. Dailly was covered and shouldn't have received the ball. You could be correct young man - however, I have a ready made excuse, an extra 30 minutes of drinking time MAY have impaired my judgement. On asked why I visit the pub pre-match by a friend, I simply answered 'have you tried watching Rangers sober'..... Cammy F

I guess I wasn’t the only fan who felt slightly inconvenienced by the later kick-off time today. Well, I day inconvenienced, all it really meant was an extra 30 minutes to partake in some liquid refreshments in the pub pre-match! It was strange kicking off at 3:30PM and the late kick-off appeared to have a negative effect on the players. In recent game, Rangers have flown out the traps and snared an early goal. Toady, they looked cumbersome, lethargic and disjointed. Walter Smith decided on a defensive reshuffle to accommodate the gap left by the suspension to Boogie. Lee McCulloch replaced the classy Algerian with Christian Daily filling in at right-back and Stevie Whittikar moving to left back. Not ideal having 3 out of your back four playing out of position (a right back at left back, a midfield player at centre-half and a centre-half at right back – welcome to the confusing world of team selection – copyright Walter Smith). Pedro Mendes recovered from a serious looking knock to regain his position alongside the ever improving Maurice Edu. Stevie Davis was jettisoned to wide right and Stevie Smith continued wide left. Like the defence, that is two of the four midfield players playing out of position (a centre midfield player playing wide right and a left back playing wide left – that’s, if my arithmetic is correct, 5 players, or 50% of our outfield players playing out of position and no natural width on the bench). At least the front pairing is easy to explain, Boyd and Velicka rightly regaining their starting places. Given the amount of players playing out of position, maybe we are expecting too much from the players to easily adapt to playing out of positions and to excel in strange positions. For the fist 30 minutes, we played like a team who had not only just been introduced to each other, but just introduced to a football. The only chance of note was a Kris Boyd lob that hit the crossbar. Maybe I am being to critical of the ‘goal-machine’, but I thought he was guilty of a glaring miss on this occasion. Just we had resigned ourselves to going into the break on level terms, and we had started to prepare to welcome the brave soldiers of 45 Commando onto the pitch at halftime, we gained an unexpected but welcome lead. A leftwing corner was delivered to the back post where Kris Boyd done brilliantly to direct the ball back into the danger-area. Velicka showed his goal-scorers instinct and lightening reactions to fire the ball into the net. So we took a 1-0 lead into the interval but the first half performance wasn’t anything to write home about. The events and reception of half-time were wonderfully fitting for the brave soldiers of 45 Commando who put their lives on the line on a daily basis to ensure our continued liberty and safety, often fighting far away from home. These brave men and woman are the real heroes and watching the conditions there people work in puts a game of football into perspective. The great Bill Shankly was wrong, football isn’t more important than life or death. These people face death on a daily basis and for that, they have my (and hopefully all our) enternal thanks. As the teams were welcomed back onto the pitch for the 2nd half, a vast improvement was expected, but in truth wasn’t delivered. Our midfield was fragmented, whilst Pedro Mendes once again showed flashes of sheer genius, overall he was disappointing. The wide men once again came to narrow and allowed our fullbacks to be exposed to the Hearts wide players. I sincerely hope I am incorrect in this statement and I’ll happily eat my words, but in my humble opinion, playing Smith and Davis out wide for the remainder of the season could cost us the title. They offer very little either defensively or offensively and continually leave their wings and come inside. This situation has to addressed urgently and solved before the remaining four SPL games. Hearts controlled most of the possession in the 2nd period without looking too dangerous. We improved slightly when Miller, then Lafferty were introduced (for Velicka and Smith respectively) as they offered some directness and pace. Just as our nerves were stretched to the limit, we finally put the game to bed with our first free-flowing move of the game. Mendes, Davis and Miller combined in midfield with Mendes freeing Davis in the inside left channel. Davis’ pass across the 18 yard line managed to squeeze its way through to Miller who advanced, steadied himself and drove the ball across the six yard line where Boyd had made up ground to divert the ball into the net. A collective sigh of relief was audible around Ibrox as the points were finally secured. Another crucial three points but the performance one of the worst since defeating Falkirk 1-0 at Falkirk Stadium some weeks ago. We go into next weeks OF game with the destination of the SPL title still firmly in our own hands. However, we will require to improve significantly on today’s performance if we are to put the MOPES to the sword. Walter Smith and his management team have some tough choices ahead and some very tricky tactical and formation dilemmas to discuss and agree on. I don’t believe we can approach this game with caution and we can’t go with Boyd and Velicka upfront as both are far to immobile. It has to be one of those two in a 4-4-2 alongside Miller or Novo, or Velicka or Lafferty leading the line in a 4-5-1 with Novo and Beasley / Aaron playing wide. If Walter Smith is to play this to type, he’ll revert to 4-5-1 BUT play a defensive 4-5-1 which will mean Smith and SW supplying the width. In every ‘must win’ game this season, Smith has deployed a cautious team, this has to change on Saturday. This could and probably is ‘last chance saloon’ with the winners taking a gigantic step towards the SPL title. Walter will play for a draw and hope that Celtc trip up in one (or more) of their remaining games. For me, we have to go at them, they have weaknesses that we must and can exploit. Playing cautiously plays into their hands and strengths. It’s fair to say that Saturdays showdown is the most meaningful OF game of this century and it’s a game that we MUST win. Players Ratings : Alexander – had a few saves to make and made these comfortably – 6/10 Dailly – terrible game, but offered little support or protection from Davis 4-10 Weir – Solid, commanding but distribution and lack of pace still a concern – 6/10 McCulloch – a very decent game at centre-half – won his fare-share aerially and never shirked a tackle all game – 7/10 SW – not at his best today, but still showed flashes and can be a very decent footballer with decent ability – 6/10 Davis – flirted in and out of the game and is being wasted out wide. Had a hand in the decisive goal but offered little else – 5/10 Edu – Slowly but surely becoming a hugely influential part of this Rangers team – another sterling performance and once again MOTM – 8/10 Mendes – See SW – infuriating watching him as you know that lurking just beneath the surface is one great footballer – has to be more consistent – 6.5/10 Smith – once again struggled in open play wide left. Offered little protection to his fullback and offered little offensively – 5/10 Velicka – seemed to struggle against his old team-mates but showed amazing reactions to score on the stroke of half-time – 5.5/10 Boyd – whilst not his most effective game, he did try very hard to become involved – set up one and scored one – 6.5/10 Miller – his directness and running a fresh approach considering the staticness of Boyd and Velicka – 5/10 Lafferty – like Miller his introduction gave us something different and a welcome return at a crucial time for the big Ulsterman – 5/10 Cammy F

Nah, I believe that it is well known that the pubs this was being hawked round were Celtc pubs and it was celtc fans who were photographed with it. Cammy F

Where to start Firstly, well done the official website for having the balls to publish this article. For a supposed Old Firm Shame game, Rangers didn't do too much wrong (well, apart from winning the league title at the cesspit). Home fans and players were who shamed themselves and the Scottish footballing nation with their coin throwing, invading the pitch, falling from the stands and waiting behind to throw objects at the Rangers players as they left the pitch. Then after the match, Hugh Dallas' home was attacked. The guilty party can still be seen at Parkhead in the corporate area of the stadium. My own recollections of this day? Not getting a ticket from my season ticket allocation nor securing one from any sources. To say they were like 'hens teeth' was an understatement. Got a call on the morning of the game from a friend in Glasgow saying that he had a ticket for me. So off I went to uplift this ticket from his 'rangers friendly pub' and I just had to partake in a few shandies pre-match. The journey accross Glasgow was eventfull to say the least, but worthwhile once I entered the cesspit. The Rangers end was bouncing and buzzing with anticipation. You had the feeling that this was going to be a special day. The Mopes were reduced to 10 men and Neil McCann was running riot and opened the scoring when he finished a fantastic sweeping move. Then the Tims imploded - the coins came raining down and the fans started to come onto the pitch. Order (as such) was restored and Hugh Dallas gave Rangers a penalty. Albertz fired home and the tims continued to self-destruct all around Parkhead. Neil McCann ran round Kerr to round things off and Rangers had won the title in the midden that is Parkhead. Afterwards, all the talk was off the referee but the only decision he got wrong all day was NOT sending of Kerr for hadling the ball outside his area - a straight red card offence, but Dallas, perhaps wary of what was happening all around him decided on only a yellow. After the game I made my way back to Ibrox to watch our heroes return. Just another unforgetfully day (one of so, so many) in the life of a Rangers fan.

http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,5~1645024,00.html Over 50 members of 45 Commando will be present at Ibrox on Sunday and will be introduced to the crowd at half-time. Another great gesture from the club and a reminder that we continue to support our troops. Cammy F -

The part of the final that got to me the most was just prior to kick-off - looked around at the stadium, the majority all decked out in red, white and blue. Then, over the tannoy, on came the Stone Roses and it hit me - here I was just about to watch Rangers in a European Cup Final, something that I thought I'd never witness. I had a moment of quiet reflection and thought of those close to me who weren't able to be there and just though, this is it, this our time, we can't loose.....! Then, after the final whistle, the reception the players and management staff received on the lap of honour also got to me. There they were, OUR TEAM, gracious in defeat and deseving of the ovation that they received. Cammy F

'Oh its all gone quiet over there, Oh its all gone quiet over there'... Videoing and shouting abuse at children is 'ok' but supporting the Rangers isn't. I bet Tracey and her macho husband will be tellin everyone who bigotted all those 'huns' are / were as well..... Oh the irony....
