I think he is probably the best ref in the country

HIBS today gave the green light to the rebuilding of Easter Road's East Stand. An announcement revealing a start date and anticipated timescale for the completion of the work was made this morning. But with the club's directors keen to have the new stand, which will seat 6000 fans, in place for the start of next season ââ?¬â?? the first SPL matches are scheduled for 14 August ââ?¬â?? demolition work on the old East Stand is set to begin shortly. The much-anticipated final piece of Easter Road's redevelopment, which started with the completion of the existing South and Famous Five Stands in the mid-90s and continued with the building of the West Stand in 2001, will take the ground's capacity to around 20,000. The news will also be welcomed by supporters, who have seen plans for the project put on hold over the past couple of years as the club investigated the feasibility of such an investment with the price of raw materials soaring, with steel alone rocketing by almost 70 per cent at one point. However, in-depth consultations have taken place with fans, the result being the revelation that the East Stand will be a single-tier structure rather than "mirroring" the two-tier West Stand opposite. Hibs chairman Rod Petrie said: "Today marks an exciting milestone in the club's history ââ?¬â?? the start of construction of a new East Stand, and the completion of Easter Road Stadium. "Once the new stand is finished, Hibernian will have one of the finest football stadiums in Scotland and the largest, fully-covered UEFA-compliant football stadium outside Glasgow. "The fact that the club is able to build a new stand during what is a very challenging time for football and the economy as a whole, is testament to the rock solid financial footing of the club created by returning a bottom line profit for five consecutive years. "Saturday's match against St Johnstone will be an emotional day for many supporters and all of us at the club, as we say goodbye to the old East Terrace. "Despite its shortcomings, thousands of supporters have a deep affection for the East Terrace. "I am sure that the new East Stand will soon find a place in their hearts as its essential characteristics were debated and agreed with supporters at fans forums. "We all look forward to completion of the new East Stand, and with it, completion of an impressive and modern arena for the Hibernian Family to come and cheer on their team." The consultation process, though, will continue with season ticket holders currently housed in the East Stand set to be decanted for the final few home games of the season, the most likely decision being to cut the number of tickets for visiting supporters to allow them to sit in the South Stand. A new East Stand would complete a remarkable transformation of Hibs' infrastructure, leaving the club not only with one of the most modern, and biggest grounds in Scotland, but with a state-of-the-art training centre at East Mains with the Ã?£5 million cost of that development having already been paid for. http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/hibernianfc/-Hibs-give-green-light.6092403.jp

I'm happy with that tbh

DOUGIE McDONALD will be the referee for Sunday's eagerly-anticipated Old Firm clash at Ibrox. It will be the first time that McDonald has handled a Glasgow derby in the SPL since the explosive opener last seasn. He sent off Daniel Cousin and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and flashed seven yellow cards as Rangers stunned Celtic with a 4-2 win. McDonald was also in charge for last season's Co-operative Insurance Cup Final when Rangers lost 2-0 to their big rivals in extra time. It will be the fifth time that he will take charge of an Old Firm game. He was the man in the middle on September 23, 2006 when Celtic won 2-0 and on November 19, 2005 when Rangers went down 3-0 at Parkhead.

Aye,he hasn't even made his mind up yet if wants to come back,so no surprise there

Allan McGregor will have to wait longer if he is to make a return to the Scotland set-up after Craig Levein decided against handing him a recall. The Rangers goalkeeper was set to be in the new Scotland manager’s first squad for the friendly against the Czech Republic at Hampden Park next month. But Levein made a dramatic U-turn last night after discovering the Ibrox shot-stopper was the victim of a city centre attack over the weekend. Instead, he will name Rangers back-up keeper Neil Alexander. SportTimes understands Levein held lengthy discussions with Rangers boss Walter Smith last night before coming to his decision. It’s believed both managers thought it would be in the best interests of the Scotland squad and McGregor if his return was postponed. However, the Scotland manager will turn to McGregor in the future providing he is fit and performing well for his club. Although he’ll understand the reasons for the decision, it will still come as a hammer blow to McGregor as he was desperate to return to the international fold. The controversial goalkeeper was informed he’d never represent his country again in the wake of the Boozegate affair when he was guilty of taking part in an all-night drinking session at Cameron House hotel. But Levein’s insistence on wiping the slate clean and having all his best players available for selection handed McGregor a reprieve. That, however, is now on hold and it remains to be seen whether or not the goalkeeper will be fit for this weekend’s Old Firm showdown with Celtic at Ibrox. McGregor suffered an eye injury in the attack, as well as a cut back, but it’s thought he could still be in line to start on Sunday. If not, Rangers will be forced to turn to Alexander, who has made just five appearances this season. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/editor-s-picks-ignore/no-scots-return-for-bruised-allan-mcgregor-1.1008443

Oi you!!!,you're a newly married guy you should not be thinking like that about burds

At the end of the day it should only be reported as an incident until all the facts are known,on the radio they are saying he was involved in a '' brawl '',you can be sure if it was a MOPE player it would be reported as a sectarian attack, fact.

I'm really shitting myself now knowing that the BHEASTS are starting to gel !!!........................NOT!!!!, bring it on ya bunch of reptiles

A PAL of Rangers ace Allan McGregor told how the goalie was headbutted in the EYE in a fierce attack - saying: "It was vicious. His face is a mess." The Ibrox No1 was rushed to hospital after being ambushed in the street on a night out with soccer pals. At least two men pounced on the goalie after he left top footballers' haunt Karbon nightclub in the early hours of yesterday. He suffered injuries to his head and eye and back. It was at first feared he'd been SLASHED as there was so much blood. The pal said: "He was headbutted in the eye. It was a really vicious attack. His face is a mess. It is very swollen and bruised. "His eye is completely closed." Friends of McGregor, 28, are said to have found him lying battered in a city centre lane after he was beaten. A source said "It seems there was a lot of blood. "People were panicking and there was worry he might have been attacked with a blade. It turned out he picked up deep scratches on his back." Goalie McGregor underwent two rounds of X-rays over fears his eye socket was damaged. But he was recovering at home last night after medics at Glasgow's southern General gave him the all-clear. Speaking from his plush pad in the city, fianc�©e Leah Shevlin, 26, said: "We're back home. Allan's not doing too well but we don't really want to talk about it." It's thought McGregor was in Karbon on Saturday night to celebrate the 21st birthday of Celtic starlet Cillian Sheridan, who is currently on loan at St Johnstone. It is unclear what sparked the violence, minutes after the stopper left. Blonde Leah was dining with friends nearby. Last night McGregor's dad Alex, 45, called for Rangers manager Walter Smith to BAN him from going out. Alex said: "He doesn't have the common sense to stop going himself." Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS confirmed McGregor was treated in hospital. Rangers said they were aware of an incident. Strathclyde Police were not involved. McGregor is still facing a probe and was interviewed by cops after a young mum alleged she was raped at a party last November. The goalie denies the claims. The Current Bun

What makes you say that?

Aye,very good ya wee tattie muncher,we will watch you gel next week against the mighty GERS when you get pumped,then you can start planning your return to Spurs

It wasn't that long ago that Boyd was getting it tight from a lot of our fans, so I was just wondering how these fans feel now about him ?, serious question guys, has Boyds' game improved that much that he has changed a lot of opinions?, or is it simply because of the state of our club is in that he gets less stick ?. For the record I have always been a Boyd fan and I do think his game has improved.

Glad to hear it,we would miss his goals if he left,no doubt about that

Aye,it's not healthy will all that pent up anger

I think you should stop sitting on the fence and say what you really feel !!
