  1. According to Scotsport the Sun have picked up on it and it is the backpage headlines tomorrow.
  2. I doubt it. I think we will dominate most games but our immaturity will leave us open for a sucker punch.
  3. The heading should have been, the badge on the new Scotland shirt.
  4. I liked what i saw of him as well but whether he can still hit the level needed after such a bad injury remains to be seen. I have my doubts to be honest but i am glad he is going to get a chance.
  5. It is just a shame he does not have more composure in front of goal otherwise he would be a gem and would have scored a lot more for us. All the best wherever he goes.
  6. I think i missed copying a bit and now i can't find it again. sorry!!! Royals linked with surprise £1m Rangers striker swoop 10:58 August, 20, 2006 Premiership new-boys Reading are preparing a bid for Kris Boyd Found it this is what i should have posted!!!
  7. As i said before he is very like Sutton imo, the difference is Sutton had Larssen next to him and Venegoor will have KM. Cocu for PSV could find Venegoor with his eyes shut and the tims don't have him. He will be a good signing for them though.
  8. Preston move for Rangers striker Novo tribalfooball.com - August 19, 2006 Preston North End are interested in Rangers striker Nacho Novo. Novo, signed by Alex McLeish from Dundee two years ago, will be allowed to move on for around �250,000. Paul le Guen has told Novo he is not in his plans: "Nacho must think about leaving, but it will depend on the offers."
  9. Last season's SPL top scorer expressed his disappointment last week after being reduced to a substitute's role so far this season for the 'Gers but returned to the starting line-up in style on Saturday, scoring both goals against Hearts at Ibrox. "Kris Boyd did very well today," said boss Paul Le Guen after the game. "I was very happy with his goals and he showed a lot of responsibilty to take the penalty to put us ahead. "However, you cannot play everyone all the time, for example, Thomas Buffel has played a lot recently, so I want the players to be patient." Surely 1 mill is a joke. Was there not a Russian team who were ready to offer a lot more.
  10. This is great news to Magpies fans, who have not taken to the Frenchman since Graeme Souness signed him from Rangers. Three French clubs, and SV Hamburg, have been sniffing around for weeks but none made a bid. It is thought the deal is worth �£2.5m to Newcastle.
  11. The keeper wasn't that good with this one though, it should have been an easy ball for him.
  12. I think he was more important to PSV than they realise. He can hold the ball up good and is always a threat in the air. He is also skillfull on the ground and works really hard. He is a big presence to handle which can suck in defenders and make room for others. Not a prolific scorer in my eyes though.
  13. I have to own up, i was away the last few weeks teaching all the sheep in Holland the Billy Boys. Now they have all got the Blue tongue sickness.
  14. Ronald Koeman just said on live tv that he expected Venegoor to leave and he had a new player lined up.
  15. According to the Dutch media it is a done deal and he will be flying in to Glasgow tomorrow to agree his own personal terms. They seem to be well apart at the moment but his agent is sure a deal can be done.
  16. Don't hold your breath BigMac as long as he dosn't sing the Billy boys he won't be touched.
  17. Great to be back on top but it means nothing at this stage. We were top last year and ended a street length behind at the end. We thought we had a great team last year and it disolved, so lets not get carried away until april. I believe le Guen is pointing us in the right direction for years to come with his young signings and at a relitively low cost but i still feel we need to be patient. Sceptic seem to be ready to splash cash even Bolton backed out of with their premiership riches, which could backfire if they have a CL nightmare. We must look at the bigger picture and not go for short term success at a high price. The master is at work but it may take time. When the transfer window is shut and we play the tims, that will be the time to see where we stand.
  18. Dutch tv are saying he is off to Glasgow to sign for sceptic tomorrow. He denied it but that normally dosn't mean much. He is always a handfull in the air and holds the ball up well. A bit like Sutton really. Certainly more of a handfull than KM in my opinion so i hope it falls through.
  19. Rangers Under 19's showed their intentions to wrestle the Youth League Championship from great rivals Celtic with a powerful and assured display against Hearts. Saturday 19th August 2006 - SPL Youth (Under 19) League Fresh from their midweek victory over Dunfermline at Rosyth the young Light Blues maintained their maximum points tally with a dazling display in front of the 60 spectators, who included Scotland Under 21 boss Archie Knox and ex-Ranger Bobby Williamson. Right from the first whistle Rangers made it clear that they meant business as they pinnned the vistors behind the ball as Lennon and Stirling linking up well to cause the Hearts rear guard all sorts of problems. The first clear chance fell to Rangers after 7 minutes when Paul Emslie let fly with a piledriver which Haraldur Bjornsson did extremely well to palm over the bar. It looked like the incecent pressure had paid off on the quarter of a hour mark when a sweeping move involving Lennon Stirling & Shinnie down the right saw Dean Furman hammer the ball home only to be ruled offside. It didn't take much longer for the breakthrough to finally arrive, another 5 minutes, as Stirling and Furman linked up tp provide a perfect cross for Stevie Lennon to finish in style with a diving header from only a few yards out. Furman was again to be a provider for Lennon 4 minutes later as he tee'd the ball up on the 18 yard line for the striker, though this time the shot went narrowly wide. With Lennon playing through the middle up front he was provided with plenty of assistance and it was the turn of Steven Stirling on the half hour mark who played a perfect pass through the Hearts defence to allow Lennon to race through on Bjornsson, only for the forwards first touch to let him down and give the keeper the opportunity to bravely collect the ball at the feet of Lennon. 4 minutes from half time Joe Sagar averted what would have been a travesty of justice when he pulled off a fingertip save from the head of Hearts defender Alan Lithgow who powered in goal bound attempt from a corner. Half Time - Rangers 1 Hearts 0 Stephen Frail made 3 changes to the Hearts side at Half Time, all to the middle and forward line, to try and take the game to Rangers but it was goalkeeper Bjornsson who made the most impact on 53 minutes when he was caught in posession inside his box and as he tried to clear he was challenged by Lennon, as the ball broke it favoured the Rangers man and Lennon then had the easiest of tasks prodding the ball into the gapping net to double the lead. Only a minute later with Hearts now showing more attacking prowess it was Joe Sagar who found himself in an identical situation only this time the break of the ball favoured the goalkeeper as the ball spun out of play. The changes made to the Jambos attacking line up paid off in 68 minutes as Gary Glen twisted and hit a half volley over Sagar and into the corner of the home net to bring Hearts back into it. Rangers substitute Ally Park was to make the match safe on 76 minutes when he collected a perfectly floated cross field pass from Andy Shinnie on the edge of the 18 yard box, unmarked he moved forward to steady himself and then unleashed a perfect curling shot with the inside of his right boot past the despairing and outstreched Bjornsson. Hearts treid again to close the gap a minute later but William McLachlan was the hero this time as he cleared the goal bound shot off the line. Steven Stirling was outstanding in the match and on 83 minutes he broke through the hearts defence down his right, the first cross was blocked but he regained the ball and his second attempt was perfect for Lennon to claim his hat trick but the strikers shot rattled the post to deny him. Right on full time Shaun Kelly found himself in referee Rodney Marshalls book when he downed Andy Shinnie with a clumsy tackle borne out of frustration. It had been a superb display against a side who had always made it very close, but this time there was a style and organisation about the performance which saw outstanding contributions from Rangers midfield and forwards. The standard has now been set for the Under 19's, a standard which if maintained will surely see the title back at Murray Park after a five year absence. The Teams; Rangers - Sagar, McLachlan, Donald, McMillan, Gallagher, Emslie, Stirling, Furman (Craig 86), Lennon, Shinnie, Woods (Park 71). Subs not used - Adam, Perry, Smith, Hadden Heart of Midlothian - Bjornsson, Kelly, McDonald, Brown, Lithgow, Mearns, Mackle (Divine 45), Forter (Baxter 45), Glen, Jonsson, Park (Hamilton 45). Subs not used - Amos, Stewart
  20. I think we will get him eventually but Vienna will hold out for the top dollar for now.
  21. I think for the atmosphere, simply the best or we will rock you will be better. Rangers related songs would be the blue sea of Ibrox or Theres not a team like the Glasgow Rangers i would be happy with.

    Funny enough i do agree with most of what you say but it does get on my chest at people saying they are good protestants or presbyterians when probably 99% do not have a clue what it means.( I am not saying you don't know.) I can screw 4 pieces of wood together it does not make me a joiner. When men say they are protestant or presbyterian it means nothing. Living with the values set by that religion makes you a good protestant or presbyterian. Most of the people who say they are good protestants probably think Martin Luther is a black rights demonstrator. How many know the history of the protestant church you seem to think we have to fight for? Most think it is about a dutch guy on a white horse crossing an Irish river. As i said that dosn't make them good protestants it makes them ignorent of the religion they claim to follow and a bunch of hypocrits.

  24. Thanks Craig! I guess until 20 August prices will stay high then there will be a flood to offload players. That is when most of the business will be done.

    Presbyterianism has a high emphasis on the sovereignty of God in all things, including human salvation, a high regard for the authority of Scripture, and an emphasis on the necessity of personal conversion by grace through faith in Christ Jesus alone. Yeh Cammy this is the idea all Rangers supporters go to Ibrox for. No one goes to watch the football. We all go because we are good Presbyterians. Lets all stand and sing, Hello Hello we are the Presbyterian boys, surely UEFA will back us on this. Sorry Cammy if you think you are a good Presbyterian then fair enough, but don't tar all of the Rangers support with the same brush, and i hope you live by the docterine you are trying to teach otherwise it makes you a Hypocrit
