kuznetsov 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 RANGERS have thrown open the gates of Murray Park to Celticâ??s Euro rivals Juventus.In an unprecedented step, the Italian giants have been given a shock helping hand ahead of Tuesdayâ??s Champions League last-16 showdown. Ibrox owner Charles Green has stunned Scottish football by agreeing to provide facilities for the Serie A side ahead of the first leg at Parkhead. Green met with leading Juve chiefs at the European Clubs Association conference in Qatar last week. And he offered to let Antonio Conte prepare his side for the crunch Euro tie at Gersâ?? training complex, with sessions on Monday and Tuesday. This is not the first time Gers have helped Celticâ??s Euro rivals. In 2002 former Ibrox manager Graeme Souness took his Blackburn Rovers side to Murray Park before a UEFA Cup defeat at Parkhead. But that was seen as a favour for the man who rejuvenated Gers in the 1980s and had always retained close links with then club owner Sir David Murray. This latest staggering decision to help foreign opposition is totally unprecedented in Scottish footballâ??s long Euro history. Gers chief Green hinted towards the arrangement with the Italian club during a Q&A session with supporters in Australia this week. And the Ibrox club last night confirmed Juve would be granted full use of Murray Park for their Euro build-up. However Juve chiefs insisted they had NOT yet decided where to base their training. A Juve spokesman said: â??We have not decided the location of our training sessions in Glasgow yet. â??Some options have been considered from the technical staff, but nothing is confirmed.â? Prior to Greenâ??s meeting with Juve chiefs in Doha, the Ibrox club had no links with the Italians at all. They last played against each other in the 1995/96 Champions League group stages with Gers being thrashed 4-1 and 4-0. Juve will also train at Celtic Park on Monday night 24 hours ahead of the Euro crunch. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/leaguedivision3/4786361/Gers-Come-on-Juve.html unbelievable jhournalism mate. what a pile of sh*te. trouble making at its most obvious. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuznetsov 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Which is it then? The club's releasing an article making out as if it's happening and the Juve spokesman is saying it hasn't been decided or confirmed. Not sure if the Sun article is right about it being unprecedented either. The press will have a field day about us being 'snubbed' by Juve if it doesn't happen, so this should maybe have been kept under wraps. we could end up looking rather foolish if they knock us back. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm sure Juve, will be able to decline the offer with good grace if they so want. Something that's sadly lacking in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) This latest staggering decision to help foreign opposition is totally unprecedented in Scottish football’s long Euro history. Maybe this reporter kindly forgot the - sporting integrity-inspired - help Scum FC offered to Zenit St. Petersburg by forcing Rangers to play three or four games in quick succession before a European Cup Final? NB: And if they would have a hotel near Broadwood Stadium, would this mean that if Clyde offers them a place to train, they would be hounded about too?

RabiDuck 89 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Loving Common's quotes this morning in the Record : "If they want to prepare at a Division Three training ground ?let them get on with it.” Someone should point out that Scotland's two best stadia are currently used in Div3! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,002 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We keep hoping for this but it rarely happens. Barce, Manchester United, Real never quite dish out the hammerings expected from them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 We keep hoping for this but it rarely happens. Barce, Manchester United, Real never quite dish out the hammerings expected from them. I actually cannot clad in words the disappointment about Barca failing to convert even a handful of their 20odd chances per game against the Scum this season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
