Excellent Frankie,well done to all who made the effort

Cheers NC, these videos just keep getting better

WITH the sad news Setanta has ceased broadcasting in the United Kingdom, our supporters will no longer be able to enjoy Rangers TV. The channel built up a strong and loyal following in the past few years and everyone at Rangers Football Club and the supporters would like to thank the staff who worked so hard to make it a success. It is hoped there will be an opportunity to restore a dedicated Rangers TV channel in the future but this will be dependent on discussions with broadcasters. Fishul site

KEVIN THOMSON always knew he was joining a big club when he signed for Rangers from Hibs. Last May's trip to Manchester, when something like 200,000 fans followed Walter Smith's players to a UEFA Cup Final, merely underlined his point. But it was not until Thomson experienced the mass euphoria of a title-day triumph at Tannadice that the 24-year-old realised the full enormity of what he has got himself involved in. And the heady experience has strengthened his resolve to return to full fitness and take centre stage when the prizes are being handed out at the end of the next campaign. Thomson was left hobbling on the sidelines for most of last season after suffering a horrific knee injury at Kilmarnock in November. From that moment on his season was spent between the surgeon's bench and the physio's room with the occasional light relief of having to watch on through the gaps in his fingers as, without him, his teammates clawed their way to the most dramatic of league and Scottish Cup Doubles. While they disappeared off into a long hot summer, Thomson returned to Murray Park to continue his lonely slog back to fitness. But he's been spurred on more than ever by just one thought: The next time Rangers lift silverware he plans on being slap bang in the thick of the celebrations. "In a way the last day up at Tannadice rammed it home to me just what a huge club I am at," said Thomson yesterday as he broke off from his duties with the Rangers charity foundation. "You know from the minute you sign on the dotted line that you're joining something very special. But seeing what it means to so many thousands of people to bring the big one back to Rangers is something that maybe we all needed to see for ourselves as players. "The celebrations at Tannadice and then all the way back down the road to Glasgow were like nothing I'd ever witnessed before. "The biggest eye-opener was when we got back to Ibrox and saw 36,000 fans waiting for us. It was just wild. With the atmosphere in the place you'd have thought it was a European night - it was only the game that was missing! "It's the thought of being involved in the celebrations next year that will make the last eight months I've spent in the gym all worth while. I want to be a part of it and this time I really want to feel as if I've earned it." Thomson did earn his place at the title party by virtue of his earlyseason contribution which was so impressive it has led to calls for him to be installed as Barry Ferguson's successor as captain. And yet it just won't feel the same for this fierce competitor until he's finally thrust back into the thick of the battle. He nodded: "I must admit there was an element of feeling as if I was on the outside looking in. It's not really the same unless you're out there with the rest of the boys. "Yes, I celebrated with the best of them but doing the bouncy doesn't quite feel the same when you're wearing your club suit and tie! "Don't get me wrong, I was delighted for everyone but there's still that feeling that you're not really a part of it. "It was different at Tannadice because, although I wasn't playing, I did feel as if I had contributed to the title success as I played 11 games before I picked up my injury. "But the Cup Final was different because I didn't feel as if I deserved a pat on the back for that. The rest of the lads won that for the club and I felt like a bit of a fraud being out there with them. "But it just makes me more determined to be a part of it all again at the end of next season." Even from his seat in the stand at Tannadice Thomson says he learned a lot about the special bond which has underpinned Rangers' march back to the top of the Scottish game. He said: "We sat in one of the boxes at Tannadice behind the glass. In the first couple of minutes Steve Davis got in behind the full-back and cut the ball across goal. Every single one of us was on our feet. We had lost all realisation that the place was full of United fans and families. "I think they thought we were a wee bit rowdy but they appreciated our emotions were running high and we were very excited. "But that showed me something too. There must have been about 15 of us in that box and every one of us was so caught up in it all we might as well have been out on the pitch. "That shows the togetherness we have a squad. That's what Walter Smith has brought to the club." So much so, in fact, that Thomson will be only too happy to put his own dreams of the captaincy on hold for just as long as DavieWeiris atIbrox. He has been tipped by many to take over Weir's duties as soon as he is back to fitness but believes the team leadership could not be in better hands. He said: "I'll happily put all that on the back burner just so long as Davie is still here at the club. "The way Davie has been playing he could still be our captain in three years. "I'm sure all the boys will be delighted if he hangs around for a year or two yet." :spl:

Aye well,at least Thomson won't be going to WBA

So the rumour of Brunt joining us from WBA will now be turned to him Jjoining the MOPES no doubt and all the other WBA players !!

Couldn't agree more,and glad you have posted this,I have always thought he was/is a decent young player but was always slaughtered,OTT IMO,for a lot of his performances.I think he is way better than anybody else we have at LM,even though that's not his best position,but we cry out for a bit of creativity and he certainly has that,although he has to learn when & when not to try the world cup pass,but he is young enough to improve IMO and would like to see him given another chance at Rangers.

I never found it mate

Aye,ok................you win

Anybody seen this ? http://www.italiangers.com/home.htm

You watch what you're saying Johnny, I know where you live Welcome mate

HA!HA! Gribz, just noticed this thread,not been on so much as I have started back to work and while I'm @ work I actually rely on the rest of you guys on Gersnet for my news. So @ the moment my vote has to go to Chick,but only while I'm here working,but '' I'll be back ''

Not forgetting the pain increase on the MOPES

WALTER SMITH insists he's staying at Rangers and so are ALL his title-winning stars. Gers gaffer Smith has vowed to front the SPL championship defence and Euro charge next term. He'll keep all the big names who looked to be heading out of Ibrox last January. The �£15million Champions League jackpot will allow Gers to hold on to Kris Boyd, Madjid Bougherra and Allan McGregor. And Smith admits Sunday's glorious SPL triumph has whetted his appetite for more glory. He said: "I don't have any real doubts in my mind about carrying on doing the job. "It's not in my thoughts not to start the season." Smith will hold summit talks this week with chairman Sir David Murray to plot for next term. But the championship win guarantees Gers won't have to flog key players to balance the books. Smith said: "The finances are something I have to speak to the chairman about, which will be done over the next few days. "The title win might not have alleviated the whole problem. "But it certainly helps alleviate a good bit of it and takes away a short-term problem we had in January which forced us to have to put players up for sale. "We feel the benefit of that part of the title win right away. "I've been here two and a half years and this was always going to be a close-season where we changed a lot of players. "There were always going to be changes but getting into the Champions League maybe means we can make the changes we want rather than making enforced changes. "That Champions League money will allow us to make the decision on who goes rather than the size of a fee." Smith WON'T get a bumper kitty to spend for the title defence as Gers remain �£25million in debt. He admitted: "That is not going to happen. "It is not possible for that to happen after what was happening in January and things like that." But changes could see several fringe players head out of Ibrox. Cardiff City are keen on Stevie Smith, Blackpool want Charlie Adam and Alan Gow also has suitors south of the border. Brahim Hemdani and Christian Dailly are out of contract, while Graeme Smith, Andy Webster and DaMarcus Beasley could move on. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/article2448153.ece

Your season is over.........why don't you go home

Well, put it this way, they do sing a song when they visit Ibrox,'' we hate C****c more than you '', and of course they do have a lot of members of the orange order within their ranks

Yip, we have Boyd a great goal scorer, Mendes a scorer of great goals

They're not mine............so help yourself

Stay for me, can't think of anyone better, plus it's the least he deserves for his success

Joyous Rangers staff back at Ibrox then welcomed fans into stadium the to watch the champions parade the trophy on their return. Around 35,000 packed in. One supporter in a CELTIC top rushed on to the pitch and was wrestled to the ground by security. A witness said: ââ?¬Å?The guy must have been off his head or very brave. He was surrounded by thousands of rival fans. Full story below http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/article2446702.ece
