I have already said that some fans are too quick to slate Walters' transfer dealings..............KEEP THE FAITH

You know I try my best :cheers:

Great draw

You should find that easy...............you're always on here with bullshit stories

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/f...6908-20679510/ FURIOUS organisers of Feyenoord's Jubilee Tournament last night blasted Celtic after they snubbed a press conference they were contractually obliged to attend. Boss Gordon Strachan and one of his players were supposed to attend the media briefing at Feyenoord's De Kuip Stadium yesterday evening. They should have been there along with representatives from the other clubs taking part in matches over the next three days, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund and the hosts. But Celtic stunned tournament promoters International Event Partnership by informing them at the last moment that no one would be coming. In what was perceived as a dreadful PR blunder, one IEP official described Celtic's actions as "appalling" because they knew weeks in advance what was required. Embarrassed workers at the event had to remove hastily Celtic's place from the top table before the television cameras were put up and before the MC introducing those in attendance, including Rotterdam's mayor, had a pop at the absentees. He told the assembled media pack: "We are disappointed to tell you that Celtic chose not to attend. "I'm sure Mr Strachan will invite you all around to his beach hotel later on for drinks." In the hours leading up to the conference IEP tried several times to persuade Celtic to send someone from their base on the outskirts of the Dutch city but to no avail. IEP spokesman Michael Galjaardt said: "We are very disappointed Celtic did not appear at the conference. "It was their decision not to come. As yet, we haven't had a clear indication from them as to why they chose not to attend. "They had an obligation under the contract of the tournament to attend the press conference." Galjaardt could not say whether Celtic would lose any money for their actions. All three managers of the other clubs were in attendance, Juande Ramos of Spurs, Dortmund's Jurgen Klopp and Feyenoord's Gertjan Verbeek. They brought along players Jermaine Jenas, Nuri Sahin and Jon Dahl Tomasson who all agreed to one-to-one interviews after the conference with the many members of the media from all over Europe. Later a spokesman for Celtic said: "The press conference coincided with our training." The Parkhead club face Tottenham tonight and then Feyenoord, who celebrated their 100th anniversary this year, on Sunday evening. The Dutch giants specifically asked for Celtic, the club they defeated in the European Cup Final of 1970. Meanwhile, West Brom star Paul Robinson could be the man to solve Celtic's left-back problem. The 29-year-old Englishman is high on Strachan's wanted list as he looks to strengthen his back four. Lee Naylor has been first choice for the past two seasons, but his form has dropped and Mark Wilson has been used in pre-season.

No problem mate...................BRING IN HASTIE

Only if you & Frankie run it for me :cheers:

I agree that SDM is not going to take us forward due to him being fed up / bored with Rangers,but who wants to take over ?

Rangers set to sign Cardiff defender Glenn Loovens 1/08/2008 Rangers boss Walter Smith is set to sign Cardiff City's powerful centre-half Glenn Loovens - but he will have to swap either Kris Boyd or Daniel Cousin to get his man. Smith has stepped up his interest in Dutch defender Loovens, 24 and wants to close a �£2million deal ahead of the SPL season. But Bluebirds chief Dave Jones is more interested in an exchange for Scotland striker Boyd - and would take Cousin too.

Maybe everybody is being a bit too quick to criticise our signings,or lack of signings.There is still one whole month to go before this window closes,I for one refuse to believe Walter is finished with bringing in a couple of more players and think he will.

RANGERS go into tomorrow's draw for the 3rd qualifying roud for the Champions League knowing they could land massively difficult opponents if they are able to overcome Kaunas. Of course, with the 2nd round only at the halfway stage there could be an either/or scenario for Rangers but there are some real heavweights in the non-seeded section. Rangers could get Altetico Madrid, Galatasaray, Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague or Dinamo Kiev, for example, and any of these would be extremely tough. The draw ceremony takes place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon at 12.30pm tomorrow SEEDS Liverpool ENG), Barcelona (ESP), Arsenal FC (ENG), FC Schalke 04 (GER), Juventus (ITA), Rangers FC (SCO) / FBK Kaunas (LTU), Marseille (FRA), Steaua Bucharest (ROU), Panathinaikos FC (GRE) / FC Dinamo Tbilisi (GEO), IFK Gothenburg (SWE) / FC Basel 1893 (SUI), Olympiacos CFP (GRE), Fenerbahce SK (TUR) / MTK Budapest (HUN), RSC Anderlecht (BEL) / FC BATE Borisov (BLR), ACF Fiorentina (ITA), FC Spartak Moscow (RUS) NON SEEDS Atl�©tico Madrid (ESP), FC Sheriff (MDA) / Sparta Prague (CZE), Drogheda United FC (IRL) / FC Dynamo Kiev (UKR), Levski Sofia (BUL), Slavia Prague(CZE), Galatasaray (TUR), Inter Baku (AZE) / FK Partizan (SRB), Vit�³ria SC (POR), NK Domzale (SVN) / Dinamo Zagreb (CRO), Beitar Jerusalem FC (ISR) / Wisla Krak�³w (POL), Standard Li�¨ge (BEL), FC Twente (NED), Tampere United (FIN) / FC Artmedia Petrzalka (SVK), Aalborg (DEN) / FK Modrica (BIH), SK Brann (NOR) / FK Ventspils (LVA), Anorthosis Famagusta FC (CYP) / SK Rapid Wien (AUT)

Still better than nowt,I would have thought SDM would grasp any chance of making a few bob !!

I wonder if it paid of for Rangers to not show the game live on TV ?,apart from saving those who couldn't go to the game,the pain of watching the game !!!!!.How much money would we have made if it was shown on TV ?

Look mate,if that's the way you want to go,then carry on,I disagree,simple

Looks to be a decent CB,from the little i've seen of him,hope we sign him then a couple of midfield players

Never said it was stupid to voice your opinions,I said it was stupid to boo Rangers players,IMO

51 titles proves we are the best team in Scotland

I happen to think Rangers FC are '' simply the best ''

One thing is for sure,the pressure is on WS,not KM,regarding this signing,but he his here now and booing him is just not going to help KM,WS or Rangers FC,so IMO it's not only stupid to boo KM,or any Rangers player,but pointless

MAJOR roadworks this weekend on the M8 motorway between Junctions 25 and 25A are expected to result in extensive delays. Long delays were experienced last weekend at this location and it is thought the same will apply this Saturday. Fans attending Rangers v Liverpool are asked to leave extra time to ensure that they get through the roadworks, park and get into the stadium in time for kick off.

For me Thomson has to step up to the mark,he hasn't yet,when you here fans shouting about how poor BF is it makes me wonder !!!!

Miller sounds like our best player tonight..............seems he knows a player !!!

You're not joking,feck me we canny even agree on here who should play ?

What do you want ?,the fans to decide who Rangers sign and play ?

For anyone who missed the Gordon Ramsey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=107EqEsBfwU
