The fact is both Miller and Boyd make up the best striking partnership in Scotland and when they are both on their game they are unstoppable,equally both of them have difficulty in trapping/controlling a ball most of the time.Both Miller and Boyd have improved generally and both of them score regularly, so for me he has been a good signing and listening to the Rangers fans sing his name surely has to mean they value him. We are all of course entitled to our own opinions on everything including how good a player is and what they bring to the team and what Miller brings to the team best is his willingness to run and create space which is a nightmare for defenders and great for our midfield and Boyd, but he is also scoring goals now so yes I would say he has been a good signing.

WS will have to work out where he will play the pigeon!!

Thompson shaking his head. Should be jailed for that ya dirty hun bassa. Didn't need a replay. He's a thug, nothing more than that Thuggery is instilled in them Sweepstake for the ref to even it up or give the Huns a big decision? Penalty, 70 mins for me. That lot and their fans sicken me. They always do but right now they are at their most vile. Danny Wilson off! was it in the box? 9 men haha how about them apples walter its getting better where's the paranoid lot on here now? I stick by what I said, Huns are still going to win. Prove me wrong Buddies a ref actually refing rangers correctly wonder if it will catch on Setanta lhads absolutely willing the ball into the Huns net Come on St Mirren. Surely you can beat these carrots when there's only 9 of them. Oh the rage as the hun thinks he is not getting fairness in a game of football. GIRFUY Mother of eff *******s St Mirren are a joke you knew it you effing knew it! That's why they're champions. Embarrassing. Useless shower of *******s I hate them Thats sickening St.Mirren manager should be sacked after this, effing joke, 9 men!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel sick Turned it off now, Feck them Some braindead ******* is letting off fireworks near my house. AND SOME KDS QUUOTES, AS IT HAPPENED

RIP Super Cooper

Kevin Thomson will miss Wednesday's Scottish Cup replay, but Rangers team-mate Danny Wilson is clear to play despite both being sent off on Sunday. Wilson's offence was denying a goalscoring opportunity to Craig Dargo in the 1-0 Co-operative Insurance Cup final win over St Mirren. And his one-match ban will come into effect in next season's competition. But Thomson's tackle on Stevie Thomson was deemed serious foul play and he misses the match against Dundee United. The offence also took the midfielder over the points threshold and he will miss one Scottish Premier League game from 4 April, with Aberdeen due to visit Ibrox that Wednesday. MY SPORT: DEBATE Give your reaction to Rangers' suspensions Thomson's absence adds to Rangers' selection headache for this week's replay at Tannadice. Steven Davis is doubtful after coming off at half-time during Sunday's win over St Mirren. The Northern Ireland international had been a doubt for that game through illness and had clearly not recovered as he failed to make an impact before being replaced by Maurice Edu. Lee McCulloch is definitely unavailable to fill one of the midfield spots as the Scotland international is also serving a cup suspension. Meanwhile, Madjid Bougherra and fellow defender Kirk Broadfoot remain absentees with hamstring injuries. Rangers are hoping that the Hampden win will be the first leg of a domestic treble. The SPL leaders must overcome United at Tannadice if they are to retain hopes of retaining the Scottish Cup, with First Division Raith Rovers facing the winners in the semi-finals. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/8580683.stm

HA!HA!, I was expecting a reply sooner than that:devil:.Glad you guys enjoyed the game,I can't even down load any highlights out here:(, I hope Hastie behaved himself

Which is exactly what the BHEASTS set out to do,then are not good enough to win the league so they will try and cheat their way to winning something by trying to influence the referees

And so say all of us

TONY MOWBRAY last night claimed the win-at-all-costs mentality in Scottish football is creating SPL ghost grounds. The Celtic boss believes the growing number of empty seats in the top flight is down to a lack of entertainment. And as attendances continue to plummet, Mogga is worried the stay-away fans are sitting at home thinking of ways to criticise their clubs. He said: "I'm surprised by the crowds. Who is watching games when so much is written and spoken about them? "Maybe they're all too busy reading papers, phoning radio stations or writing letters. "How do we get the stadiums full again? My philosophy on football is to entertain. "Unfortunately here it is win, win, win from day one." The Hoops manager would gladly put his hand in his pocket to watch boyhood heroes Middlesbrough. But he fears some punters aren't so motivated. Mowbray said: "A lot of working class people have grown up watching football but they probably have better things to do with their money now. "I was in the Premiership with West Brom last year and teams were playing 'fear football' to stay in the league. "And with players on �£100,000 a week you have to be careful not to alienate the public." Despite the current apathy, Mowbray insists Celtic are working overtime to engage with the public. He said: "This club does a remarkable amount of community stuff. "I sometimes have to say I can't have players spending too much time doing it. "Nobody says: 'He looks tired on Saturday but listen he did great because he signed things for hours on Thursday'." Mowbray also revealed he will wait until the summer before trying to retain loan stars like Robbie Keane, Landry Nguemo, Edson Braafheid and Diomansy Kamara. He said: "It's OK when you only pay a percentage of the salary. But they then have a value. If you can't match that, nothing's going to happen. :spl: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/2010/03/21/tony-mowbray-teams-don-t-want-to-entertain-and-that-s-why-stadiums-are-empty-86908-22127976/

Land redevelopment, local authority blueprints, planning permission, property dealers, Tesco versus Asda. Anyone remember when Rangers used to be a football club? Walter Smith is entitled to stride around his club like a giant but right now there must be days when even he feels like a pretty small cog in the wheels. Forces are at work around the sale of Rangers which make the manager, coaches, players and supporters – in other words, the essence of what a club should be about – seem as relevant as pawns. There were denials from Rangers last night but it is widely expected that at the start of next week Andrew Ellis will close his briefcase, say his thank-yous and walk out on negotiations to buy the club. Doubtless there will be little or no mourning of his departure from supporters who will conclude that his interest in the club itself – rather than its physical hinterland – was negligible. But Ellis cannot be said to have deceived anyone on this. Right from day one he has been described as a property developer. How can Rangers be of any interest to him without property to develop? Still, Ellis’s time on the dancefloor is revealing about where Rangers stand. The club has been on the open market for months and presumably up until now any potential bidder has been under the impression that Ibrox came with some juicy adjoining land which could be carved up for lucrative retail developments. Even then, potential bidders haven’t exactly been falling over themselves to beat a path to owner Sir David Murray’s door. Now the expected end of the talks with Ellis and the reason for their collapse – that the prime adjoining land isn’t quite so prime after all – will underline that what’s on the market here is a football club and no more. A football club which can deliver glory and celebrity and fame and a degree of status, but not one that is going to make anyone any money. Without any marketable land to seduce would-be buyers, an entire constituency of potential bidders is wiped out. The disappearance of Ellis would confirm that Murray’s only hope of shifting Rangers at any price is to offload the club to a wealthy supporter or a consortium of them. The limited income from broadcasting and sponsorship in Scottish football, and the increasing difficulty in getting to the Champions League’s riches, means it makes absolutely no sense for anyone to buy Rangers unless they actually care about them. Ellis is believed to have had the endorsement of Murray and others. So what does that mean? Famously Murray has always said he would sell only to someone with Rangers’ best interests at heart. If it’s not going to be Ellis, does that mean anyone else would be worse for the club in Murray’s eyes? The only other reported interest was from existing non-executive directors Dave King and Paul Murray, along with two other unidentified businessmen, who sounded out the board about a possible Ã?£18m bid in January. King, Murray and the others are “Rangers men” but so far they haven’t brought enough money to the table and stories persist about much of King’s assets being frozen by the South African tax authorities. Ellis was no supporter but he had the readies, or at least it seems that he did when he thought he was getting more than a football club. Throughout all this the pawns go about their duties. Smith, Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowall work without contracts. Kris Boyd, Nacho Novo, Kirk Broadfoot and DaMarcus Beasley see their deals wind down to their final weeks. None of them knows where he’ll be next season. The football department should matter more than anything, but in all this it seems small and vulnerable. They go about their shift in a state of denial, hardly daring to think what it will mean for Rangers if Ellis says what he’s expected to in the next few days. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/rangers/comment-the-for-sale-sign-will-still-be-up-at-ibrox-next-week-but-property-developers-need-not-apply-1.1014429

Aye,it could have been 5-5 @ HT

Aye,I've just tuned in on my laptop

What channel is that on mate?

Aye, and the more it goes on the more people start to believe it ,if you're a choob that is

25 minutes played Bremen 1 Valencia 2,decent game

Glad to hear it,I just hope the guy is over his injuries and comes back to Rangers and show the level of play he showed earlier in his career??

It would be nice if the Reuben brothers were involved though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_and_Simon_Reuben

Seems West Coast Capital, his main holding company for private equity investment, are behind the Ellis bid. Have a friend in the finance houses who was briefed at 9:15 this evening (he's a 20 year Copland Road blue nose, so couldn't wait to share). Reuben Brothers, not quite sure who they are, are involved also, I'm told Reuben and Hunter have previously worked with HBOS on certain deals, and this is apparently helping the final negotiation, given the Lloyds involvement now. Seems like the big man is coming to spend some of his money. Obviously this could be a lot of crap,however I thought I'd post it anyway. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A65121716
