  1. Bring back Miller..................
  2. You're right,but do you really think that playing Cousin tonight is going to win us the tie ?,and I don't think it's good for team spirit if he plays,how do think the other players will feel if they are left out for him,most fans on here are always going on about giving the fringe players a game,quite right IMO,so for me Cousin can GTF ASAP
  3. Sorry mate,but that's just a lot of pish,and I think i'll finish on that note,obviously Loyalty isn't part of your thoughts
  4. Aye,but that's a different subject mate,the issue is Cousin and for me I think it's wrong to even think about playing him,which WS isn't.
  5. Gribz,that's not the issue,would you really want Cousin to play tonight ?
  6. The guy's no a bad player,but you can hardly say he's been great in every game for us now can you ?,i'm not blind mate I just don't see how you can think that he will play tonight ???????,the guy hasn't kicked a ball for us for a while now and he wants to leave,is it you that's blind ?
  7. Steady now johnny,Gribz will have a heart attack
  8. A great piece of business IMO,he is actually lazier than Boyd
  9. Do you think Cousin would be fully commited to the game tonight and possibly get injured therefore not getting his DREAM move ???????
  10. Aye,I would rather have any player who wants to play for the club playing
  11. Personally,I don't see it as good news,he should just GTF away from Ibrox ASAP
  12. I'd rather sit watching a piss poor Rangers team than watch another team just because it's more entertaining
  13. I actually agree with what you're saying,however I feel some fans expect us to be battering teams every time we play,and that's just not going to happen.It takes time to build a team and surely one season does not allow anyone to make us into a GREAT team,i'm happy with the way we have improved in such a short time,and i'm expecting us to keep on improving,step by step :cheers:
  14. Not as frustrating as it would be if we were not winning games though :cheers:
  15. Well while I would agree that we are not playing the type of football that gets you on the edge of your seat,we are winning and we are creating chances and we are not conceding goals.If you listen to the unwashed and the media you would think C****c are the best team in the world,they're gonna beat Barca,win the SPL, etc.................BOLLOCKS is what I say,they've scored a few goals against a couple of poor sides,we have been unlucky IMO not to have scored a few goals more than we have,we are still creating chances.I for one am still confident that we are bringing the SPL home,as this is always a difficult time of the season and we are the team sitting four points clear,as well as still in all cups available,PLAYING POOR ?,I remember the last couple of years with pain and i'm a lot happier going to Ibrox than I have been for a while,because I feel we will win rather than going expecting to get beat !!!!!!!
  16. I don't know what's going to happen if Cousin is not allowed to move to Fulham,that obviously means he will stay with us for the rest of the season?,if he plays on Wed and gets injured will he still go to Fulham?,and all through this fiasco Boyd must be thinking about getting out of Ibrox,and who could blame him,as i've already stated i'm a fan of Boyd as I happen to think it's the system that goes against him.Cousin will leave either now or at the end of the season,and we could lose Boyd as well ,especially if Cousin plays on Wed and Boyd doesn't,so WS will be looking to bring in another striker,Miller ?.
  17. HA!HA!,I will last well at the dinner,don't worry i'll make sure you guys get to bed ok,tucked up,while I enjoy the rest of the night
  18. Well IMO we have a better team,with or without Hutton,as for McGready fook him,let them worry about us, which i'm in no doubt they are
  19. Agreed,it would have been great to keep Hutton for the rest of the season,however he's gone now and I still think we'll win the league as we have a better team than the unwashed
  20. I know nothing about this guy,so I can't comment,but 4 mill does seem a bit much for an unknown !!!!
  21. Motherwell forward Ross McCormack is close to agreeing a pre-contract which will take him to Wigan in the summer. The 21-year-old, who has bagged nine goals this season, has been in talks with Wigan manager Steve Bruce. "Steve Bruce has been brilliant," said McCormack. "He told me he doesn't want me as a squad player but as someone who is playing in the first team. "He assured me I will be given my chance. He also told me he believes I can use Wigan as a stepping stone." McCormack started his senior career with Rangers and hit the headlines when he scored in a 1-1 Champions League draw away to Porto. MY SPORT: DEBATE Is McCormack good enough for the English top flight? But he was loaned out to Doncaster later that season and left Ibrox in 2006 after making just 14 appearances for the Glasgow club. McCormack's first season with Motherwell was plagued by injury and he scored just three times in 15 appearances. However, he has blossomed under new manager Mark McGhee this term, putting in a series of critically-acclaimed performances. Middlesbrough approached the Scotland U21 international last month but Wigan appear to have won the race for his signature. Is this another young player who we should never have let go ?
  22. Agree with most of your points,however when you say '' I feel a Rangers side should be strong enough to get past Panathinaikos '',maybe the Rangers of old,but to be fair they are not a bad side and won't be easy,I think we'll need to take a win over there to progress.With out sounding over confident I believe the treble is on as you rightly said we are a better team than the unwashed,even with thier BIG signings.One thing is for sure we have came on leaps and bounds in the last year,of that there is know doubt,and the building must continue,so I look forward to the run in and then look forward to bringing in some decent signings in the summer and then '' WE WELCOME THE CHASE ''
  23. It's United In CIS Final RANGERS will face Dundee United in the CIS Cup Final after the Tangerines thrashed Aberdeen 4-1 tonight in the other semi-final at Tynecastle. Aberdeen took the lead through Andrew Considine but United levelled through Darren Dods and then Christian Kalvenes headed Craig Levein's side into a 2-1 lead nine minutes into the second half. The Dons were up against it when Craig Conway made it 3-1 on 64 minutes and when former United striker Lee Miller was sent off for a second yellow three minutes later their task was almost impossible. Morgaro Gomis rubbed salt into Aberdeen's wounds when he scored a fourth goal. It will be the first time Rangers have met United in a major cup final since 1994 when Christian Dailly helped the Tannadice men stop the Light Blues win the "double" Treble in the Scottish Cup Final. The last time the sides met in the League Cup Final was in 1984/85 when Iain Ferguson scored the winning goal for Rangers.

    Reserves

    RANGERS Reserves will play in their first league match for almost two months when they face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park tonight and Christian Dailly is set to make his first appearance in a blue jersey. Stevie SmithThe Scotland international will start alongside Andy Webster in the centre of defence with Alan Lowing and Steven Smith (left) being utilised at right and left back respectively. Graeme Smith, Amdy Faye, Alan Gow, and Nacho Novo will also feature alongside Murray Park starlets Jordan McMillan, Dean Furman and John Fleck. The Reserves last competitive fixture came against Falkirk on December 4 and Ian Durrant's players will be desperate to kickstart their season in Ayrshire. Rangers currently sit fourth in the league with Killie only two points behind so this evening's game, which will kick-off at 7pm, is important to both clubs and should provide an entertaining 90 minutes of football.
  25. RANGERS have been saddened to learn of the death yesterday of Davie Kinnear who was an influential figure both on and off the field in nearly 24 years of service to the club. Kinnear, who was just 18 days short of his 91st birthday, joined Rangers from Raith Rovers in 1934 and spent 10 years as a player. He also spent 14 years with the club as Trainer and Physiotherapist between 1956 and 1970 when he worked with the great team put together by Scot Symon, a former team mate at Rangers. Scot Symon and Davie KinnearThe Fifer played as an outside left and had the arduous task of following in the footsteps of the legendary Alan Morton who had retired in 1933. However, he took part in three championship winning campaigns playing 109 times and scoring 32 goals. His most profitable campaign was 1936/37 when he only missed one of the 38 league matches and scored eight goals as Rangers beat Aberdeen by seven points for the title. Kinnear was also a key protagonist in the game that set the all-time Ibrox record attendance of 118,730 when he scored along with Alec Venters in the 2-1 defeat of Celtic on January 2, 1939. That attendance remains a record for a league match in the UK and will surely never be beaten. Kinnear's competitive playing career was cut short by World War Two and he was one of many Rangers players - including Willie Thornton, Eddie Rutherford and Willie Paton - who saw active service. He played for Third Lanark and then Dunfermline and then left football to work as a physiotherapist in hospitals. Kinnear was brought back to Ibrox in 1956 by Scot Symon to become the trainer and physio after Symon replaced the peerless Bill Struth as manager and he was a popular man. It was during his time in hospital that he worked with Harold Davis, who had been severely injured in the Korean War, and then recommended him to Symon who signed him. Symon was not a tracksuit manager so Kinnear would take all of the training sessions and then work on the injured players in the afternoons along with close friend Joe Craven who did the same for the reserve team. Rangers were hugely successful in the early 1960s, of course, and many of the team remember Davie fondly. He went on to work for Davie White when he replaced Symon in 1967 and left in 1970 when Willie Waddell took over and brought in his own backroom team.
