Dunno,once WS has got rid of the players he wants off the books,and if the MOPES don't qualify for the CL I suspect we might bring somebody in ?

Looks like it mate http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1204079/Blackpool-boosted-500k-loan-star-Charlie-Adam-quits-Rangers-Championship-return.html?ITO=1490

Celtic players talk the talk..............Rangers players walk the walk

Hopefully it's just the '' fringe players '' that leave !!!!

Rangers manager Walter Smith says he took the decision to drop teenager John Fleck to the reserves for reasons other than a training-ground bust-up. The 17-year-old swore at Ally McCoist after the assistant boss criticised Fleck for missing a chance while being training-ground five-a-side team-mates. Fleck thereafter missed out on Rangers' games in this weekend's Emirates Cup. "It has nothing to do with that," said Smith after a 3-0 defeat by Arsenal. "I left him out for another reason." Privately, Rangers are suggesting that Smith, who claims to have made the decision without knowing of the training-ground spat, has concerns about Fleck's general attitude. So, while the first-team were losing to an Arsenal side inspired by two-goal 17-year-old Jack Wilshere, Rangers' own teenage protege was in Northern Ireland playing in a 2-1 defeat by Glentoran with the Scottish champions' second string. Referee Brian Turkington forced Fleck to be substituted rather than brandishing a red or yellow card during that match. But the attacking midfielder had been the star man, scoring two goals and setting up two others, as Rangers' reserves defeated Portadown 6-1 on Thursday. And, on Friday, McCoist told Rangers' website that Fleck was sent with the reserves "for his own benefit" because he needed more game time. MY SPORT: DEBATE He has to remember he's not made it to the top yet and still has a lot to show what he has to offer Rangers bluericksen "The situation is that we want John to get games and that's why he has been given to the reserves," the assistant told Rangers' website. "We felt it was more beneficial for him to do that rather than come to London and maybe only get short periods." Fleck, the jewel in the crown of the talent emerging from Rangers' Murray Park training facility, made his first-team debut as a 16-year-old in a Scottish Cup tie against East Stirlingshire in January 2008. Although he made his Scotland Under-21 debut in March this year, Fleck has to date made only 13 appearances, six from the substitutes' bench, for Rangers and has become frustrated at not yet having become a first-team regular. And he was particularly disappointed not to feature last month against Nuremberg while Charlie Adam, whose future at Ibrox looks to be coming to an end, played in the pre-season friendly. Fleck had rejected the overtures of Manchester United and other major European clubs to sign for his beloved Rangers, so there is little possibility of his dissatisfaction leading to a transfer request. Instead, he will view Smith's decision to relegate him to the reserves as part of a steep learning curve and it is understood that he will return to the first-team set-up on his return from Northern Ireland. Sent to Ulster along with Fleck was fellow forward Alan Gow, who it was decided also needed game time. Gow has made just two first-team appearances for Rangers since moving from Falkirk in 2005 and ended last season on loan to Norwich City as they were relegated from the Championship in England. Meanwhile, Adam could be poised to complete his protracted �£500,000 move to Blackpool, the Championship side for which he played on loan last term. The 23-year-old was also missing from the Rangers squad for Saturday's 1-0 win over Paris St Germain. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/8180391.stm

I love positive posts , as I said I am looking forward to this season with a bit of confidence in retaining the SPL :spl:,but I have to agree with you about Bougherra,it is a big worry

Not forgeting OOH AHH SAMARAS!!!!!!:fish:

I never seen the gaame,again,however losing 3-0 to Arsenal can't be looked upon as a downer for the season ahead,we won't be the only team to lose 3-0 to them. As for the CL I think we all know we won't do much in that competition, it was just crucial to win the league and qualify for the CL for the money.I am looking forward to the season ahead and as long as we don't get humped in every CL game we can then get into the Europa competition and maybe have a wee run in that,but again winning the SPL is hwat is all about

RANGERS wonderkid John Fleck has been sensationally axed from the first team squad - after a furious bust-up with Ally McCoist. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/scottish/scottish_news/431838/Rangers-John-Fleck-was-sent-home-from-German-tour-in-disgrace.html

I never seen the PSG game, BUT I'm guessing Bougherra/Rangers played well,am I wrong for worrying that if Bougherra, as well as Davis,Mendes etc, keeps playing well in our preseason games it could invite an offer for him from one of the English sides ?

Poor attempt at '' operation tango '', and I don't find anything funny regarding terrorists

Remember though Craig...........we didn't win the league.........the MOPES threw it away

Dinamo will be shitting their pants at the thought!!

Apologies,I never seen it

Surprised there isn't a thread alreadt running on this ?,RIP Bobby. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8177945.stm

THE Old Firm should brace themselves for FIVE years in the Champions League wilderness. The gloomy prediction came last night from former Scotland winger Pat Nevin. He reckons this will be the last season a Scottish club competes in the group stage until at least 2013. Rangers went straight into the groups this season, but future champions will need to qualify against seeded sides from England, Spain, Italy and Germany. Nevin said: "We're going through a bad phase. It's coincided with our clubs' skint phase and the collapse of Setanta. "However, these periods tend to last for only so long and we should be through it in about four or five years. "The SPL have a get-out clause in their Sky/ESPN deal which allows talks with someone else in 2012. "We should be over the worst of the recession by then. Hopefully clubs will be able to buy better players. "Coming seasons will be difficult for our clubs in Europe. That's not being negative, it's being realistic." http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/2564588/EU-Old-Firm-patsies.html

You just need to go over to KDS

Boruc - Brilliant Hinkel - Poor. Needs to sort himself out. Nayler - Shyte. Worst left back i've ever seen at Celtic Park (or the world, ever) Loovens - Pi$h Heid - Pi$h McGeady - Superb with pi$h delivery. Maloney - Pi$h Donati - Imposter. GTF N'Guemo - Superb. Superstar in the making McDonald - Shyte/Could easily have made the difference if he'd been kept on MAF - Pi$h. The new Kenny Miller Killen - Pi$h Samaras - Pi$h. Heart of a moth. Fox - Too early to say :spl:

Ah...............never mind..........at least they won the Wembley cup!!!

The financial state we are in,compared to the MOPES,YES, fuck the coefficient.Normally I would agree with you but the fact of the matter is we NEED to try and close the money gap and the two qualifying rounds are inevitable IMO.They don't qualify,we get all the money, if we win the SPL this season again and they don't qualify the tables are turned.......SIMPLES!!!!

Great to see Rangers FC again showing thier support/gratitude/respect to the brave men and women who put their lifes at risk to allow us our freedom, the REAL heroes. I think too many people take them for granted and more should be done to appreciate what they do.Again, well done Rangers FC.
