ian1964 10,777 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I know it's not Rangers related,but........... UEFA have today handed a 1 year ban to the three clubs due to financial problems. It looks like Karabukspor and Eskisehirspor will take the place of Bursaspor and Besiktas in Europe. Bursaspor have been handed a ban due to unpaid transfers of players, while Besiktas are in big problems financially. Turkish Football was rocked by the match fixing problems last season where Fenerbahce were kicked out of Europe and replaced by Trabzonspor. This is another blow which darkens the name of Turkish Football. http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/ankaragucu/news/besiktas-bursaspor-and-gazian-592788.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebear54 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Friendly? Have you ever been to Turkey for a game? I was thinking at Ibrox. You couldn't drag me to a match in Turkey. There would be fingernail trenches all the way! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebear54 0 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Besiktas' debt is estimated at 200 million euros! All the more reason for them coming to Ibrox for a friendly. They need the money. Euro's looking good from our perspective. We don't have too may dates lined up with Euro models. It's about time we could get some decent kebabs at Ibrox. Win/win all round. Just not over there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
