Did De Boer get moved into different positions or have to play bit parts?. Re cup final MW used Dean as a right winger a totally alien position for him and I doubt if De Boer could have filled that position. The cup final defeat came down to too lean a squad and of course the awful defending.

Still a lot of water to flow under the bridge.

Shame to see him go but it seems and I think correctly that MW wants his own "team" and would hope that Ian would bear no grudges and continue in his support of us. Good luck Ian and thanks for the memories.

Could not tell you have only seen trailers and looks a total turn off.

It can only be good experience for the U/20 boys.

Be careful re ageism in these days of political correctness:flute:

10.15 still not yet live.

Reported in Herald he has stepped down from Rangers Retail board along with his associate could be start of getting our sales back?

As much as Barry is so pleased it still to me seems like a slap in the face as no doubt ginger nut with the green tinted eyes will dump both Barry and Lee when the manky mob players are available after him resting them.

Agree re ball playing but what we have lacked as well as a proper centre back is someone who can lump the ball upfield or into row Z when we are trying to see out a game. Too many late goals have been lost as a result of this.

He might get a crowd in with his stature thanks.

Not a top one but there is possibly one who will look at his stature in football who may take a chance,but can't name any one in particular.

He played at the time when I was unable to attend due to working restrictions,but got to see him on a few occasions,got his injury for being too honest in a tackle. Another player who we did not get his full potential after the injury similar to Durrant but another legend.

Ally is what he is and always be a legend as a Rangers goalscorer who had a go at management of the club. Albeit that was during a turbulent upheaval and having to deal with too much backroom stuff it still looked as we moved up the divisions he was out of his depth,football wise. It might be beneficial for him to have another go elsewhere and prove his ability one way or the other. But what must not be forgotten ability,salary,garden leave or whatever he always gave what he thought was his best.

Renewals date is up now dealing with the waiting list, which might be lengthy, then open to new applicants so final total of season tickets should be massive. we are the people right enough.

Agreed all it takes is a dodgy ref to collude with someone to do the bet for him and then produce red in a 50/50 challenge.

As I am on CCC mandate I expect to be charged for the home games and possibly balloted for away games but stick to my point that travelling to away games will prove difficult for many. Also I would like to see a cheap price structuring for this cup when it starts, as there are so many games in a short period, for those having to pay full price.Luckily for me I am on concession so cost less prohibitive.

Go to cup draw thread and see what is not 3.00 kick-offs already.

Thanks Coop I will have to think hard on home games as these nights are when I have something else on probably go to one of them. Just annoying that I will be charged for them as the only carrot as you say is chance to see new players.

Hopefully I don't get any away tickets in ballot especially Motherwell safety could be compromised. A total waste of time this cup and its new format.

Draw now out 16 July v Motherwell on BT away,19 July v Annan home, 22 July v East Stirling away on BT and25 July v Stranraer home on BT.

Good idea but I will not be following the tournament similar to not following the CL and EL. Good luck though.

Have e-mailed Rangers re this situation especially for away games asking that if balloted a ticket for an away game that is shifted for television to a weekday night that the right is given to cancel it .This would be over and above the two allowed at present to those on ccc mandate.As usual no reply forthcoming.

Great way to spend their Giro's there will be an even bigger queue at the foodbank in the east.

Has BBC Scotland turned a new leaf?. Anyway good show from them on this.
