I don't think that will be the team for Saturday. I expect J-Rod and Fergie to return. Hemdani had a stroll in the park yesterday and will probably return to the midfield with probably Adam or Rae who of course have not played many games. Prso will also return. Most of the team for saturday will either have been rested recently or not played many games. That with playing the tims should be energy enough. I do not see the tims pressurising us like Hibs did so a lot will go down to confidence, mentality and of course skill. We must not give Nakamura room to operate and Gravesen needs time to control a ball so we should be on top of him as well. If we give them room we will be chasing shadows again.

They have to prove big Sam knew and not just a load of twaddle from an agent and Sams son. They have Frank Arnessen actually making an offer so i don't know that Chelsea are in a better position than Bolton. Yes it happens everyday that is why they are investigating it. There are Banks robbed nearly everyday but that does not make it legal or acceptable

Well what a player Hemdani looks at the back. We must not forget that he was not really asked to defend, but a player with so much vision see's things long before they happen, and can cut it out before it becomes dangerous. Papac also looked class but with these two defending, the high ball will always be the danger. If we can get the midfield running the game, then the high ball is easy to defend for them, so for me the problem is still the midfield. Sionko disappointed yet again and to be honest give me Nacho anyday at the moment. The guy tries his heart out be it good or not so good. I think tonight must have brought more doubts to PLG, where and who he has to play. Hutton also looked good. Smith was also praised by the BBC but to be honest i was not too impressed with his performance tonight i thought he let players walk away from him in dangerous areas. One thing is clear for Saturday, Boyd, must start. Interested to see some of the team selections now.

Rangers ball movement is just far too slow.

Yep confused me to f**k. Still early but Hemdani looks good at the back.

Waw what a team! Papac and Hemdani as centre backs. Seven Scots in a Rangers team. How long ago was that?

Sorry Gaz don't agree with you there a player who is not sharp becomes unsure and that split second of doubt with a ball travelling at upto 80 or 90 mph can be the difference between hitting the goal or the corner flag. Confidence is one of the most important things in life for doing anything.

No i think all the new players will improve. They are going through a complete culture change on and off the park. Remember Larssen was also crap for the first while. The tims were wondering why he had been signed. In saying that not all players can adapt to the British style of football. Svensson should be able to, being Swedish.

Funny how you think like that when it comes to Murray, Cammy, but when it comes down the list to AM and Fergie it was tremendous achievements Even if we hammer them 8-0 on Saturday, we will still be facing the same problems as we are now - a chairman with no vision for the future, no youth development, no finance for new players, etc but, hey we fucked the tims........ Cammy F I agree with you on our Youth developement,it is a shambles at the moment. Even our so much talked about under 19's got beat on monday?. Yes you guessed it by Hibs. F

---------------------mcgregor------------------------- hutton---------rodreigez-------- papic------------ smith Burke------------hemdani---------ferguson---------Rae\Adam -----------------------------------Prso-------- --------------- boyd---------------------- I don't really know if i would prefer Burke or Martin, probably Martin to be honest as sceptic are weakest at RB and i think Martin would walk round Telfer or Caldwell. The problem is Burke gives the defender more support and i don't know if Rae or Adam can play on the right. I don't want to mention Si Si Si the guy that's done nothing on the right up until now. I really think Prso and Boyd have to play.

Possibly having so many young legs may be good against the old legs of the tims. If we could do to them what Hibs done to us and not give them a second on the ball would be great. Not the natural game of Barry and Hemdani though.If you go for this then you have to choose between Prso or Boyd and to be honest i think it would need to be Prso to hold the ball up and make passes wide. I think i would prefer a 4-4-2 with Boyd and Prso up front that would mean Martin or Burke dropping out. I have never seen Adam to be honest so i can't really judge him.

It was indeed Middlesbrough's England youth star 15-year-old Nathan Porritt. Frank Arnesen offered 150.000 over 3 years plus royalties. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5360700.stm

Radio five-live are doing a back-up. The guy knute was just on telling how he shat himself when the guy seen the camera.

There will be an outside inquiery but if they can prove anything remains to be seen.

Arnesson and Chelsea caught again! That could mean -3pts.

WaW what a read ma head is buzz'n. Lets just not forget one thing we all come on here because of our love for Rangers. Clement is long term as Cammy said but Prso will be fit. I would go for a 4 man midfield. Burke-------Hemdani--------Fergie------Rae I think Martin is a luxury we can't afford against the tims.

Under WS and DA we played a Brand of football that at times took our breath away. Under AM it was the players that looked breathless. We did possibly hold on to them both too long though. Well that goes for all three.

70 pound for 2 tickets:eek: Where are you sitting in the chairmans seat. How can anyone afford that week in week out?

Eck does have a good record Cammy i don't think anyone can deny that but he said judge me when it is my team. We did because the team could hardly put 3 passes together at the end, a bit like sunday really. In the end he had lost all discipline and it was reported the players were pushing him out. I admit that is hearsay evidence. He also made a dick of himself with the Craig Moore incident which along with other incidents as Lovenkrands, showed he could not make important decisions. He also picked his teams to counter the opponents instead of playing to our strenghts. You could say he won everything in Scotland exept the Rangers fans hearts. That he had no resources is crap he had a far bigger budget than PLG does, he could pay players 20-30 thousand a week and had 4mill+ for Barry and a few million for players that were so bad we had to pay them off. I will beg to differ from you here Cammy, i think apart from one season he was always a mediocre player(I can't judge at Blackburn) and as i said in another thread my biggest problem is that he lets players run away from him which puts pressure on the defence. I agree with almost all of that but at the moment it looks like we are stuck with him. I think it will get worse before it gets better as it looks like he is closing all taps to sell up.

I thought that was the year they got to the final but with your reply i guess i am wrong. Glad to admit i am not an expert in Sceptic history Different memories for me that season then - IMO if it weren't for BF that season we wouldn't have been in a position to win the league on the last day of the season. Cammy F I admire your loyalty to him Cammy as with Eck but sometimes you can stay loyal too long as with Eck.

I would love to see us running the game and winning. Us being by far the better team but only drawing would be worst acceptable result. Defeat is not thinkable.

He was not playing very good the year he was taking all the injections. Admittedly Eck not buying a leftsided midfielder didn't help him. Many games in that year the other teams walked over over our midfield . Barry being injured and having to cover so much ground was to blame as far as i can remember. They played better football than us, and probably lost because of their run in Europe.

That is exactly what i meant about Barry making excuses. You are not going to tell me you would put Fergie in the same class as Gascoigne. That team were played better than all other teams. The helicopter season counts for us winning the league but if we are really honest sceptic were the better team that season.

I can only remember him having one really good season, when he was playing with RdBoer under DA. All the seasons after that we have only had excuses about his fitness. Winning the League was not so much our brilliance but poor opponents.

Fordham's uncle was a red hot Gers fan and used to take him to Rangers games. That is how he became a supporter. He also goes to Millwall games.
