I want a % of any sell-on fee and a buy-back clause -- we should do the latter more often, like European clubs.

Barasic could play for any club in the world

Nah its seperate mate but I know a lot of guys that go on the Jack. Aye its called Jolly Botanist now. Bit ponsy now like. Diane's pool hall used to be decent too but that's now an Irish pub

Thanks for posting all the clips @ian1964, top man! The goals were nicely taken, although it has to be said the opponent would struggle to give a decent pub team a game from the look of them. As always, all I want from these type of games is to get through it without any injuries, and pick up some sharpness where required. Given we last played only 2 weeks ago, it is just like an international break so I dont think we really needed a game at all, but I acknowledge SG's comments that he just wanted to get 45 minutes of pitch time for all the squad while they are out in Dubai. We can now start the countdown to Stranraer, and then a massive run of oh-so-important league games to build on our good first half of the season.

5-1 Stewart Penalty.

Not much competition and the players looking comfortable. But young Patterson looks good, Edmondson looking good, but Barker still looks lost

Great prospect. Was the stand-out against Wrexham before going off injured. He's 18 and just extended his contract until 2022

Yes - he was mentioned in the transfer thread no too long ago (Liverpool sniffing about, I think?).

Interesting idea but I wonder how they will accommodate the space around the pitch post construction? I presume there is a legal requirement for some kind of track/path access surrounding the pitch and Ibrox is already pretty close to the pitch as it is. Closer than that dump across the city for example

When did Rangers last go to Celtic Park & win when the LB set up the 2 goals? Wonder how Arsenal feel spending that money on Tierney when Rangers had a better LB ??

They also have more kids to pick from and generally don't seem to care much about winning cups. Additionally, the English youths seem to be more physically developed than the Scots ...I have no idea why.

Brian talks to Mr Mediocre. It's been a long week, Brian McLauchlin has hung in there, doing the Beau Geste thing. Three interviews with various representatives of, "the Scottish Champions". We saw Aberdeen players milling around Glasgow Airport and an Emirates plane taking off. On Thursday, Steven Gerrard received the Manager of the Month for December award, no footage of the presentation, no mention on Radio or TV. Beau Geste slung the Toerags a rubber. Brian is on the BBC Scotland website and it received radio coverage throughout the day, talking to Mr Mediocre about the need for Scottish football to be saved. Derek is firm, "Scottish football does not need to be saved". I am confused at this point, I am wondering if an evangelical crusade is wandering across the dessert? BBC Scotland did NOT cover the Rangers warm weather training camp(a mile done the road in Dubai), on receiving his Manager of the Month award, Gerrard answered a question on Scottish teams participating in English competitions. He thought it was a good idea and could possibly save Scottish football in providing necessary variety. "Our product is good" bellows Derek. He reinforces it with, "Rangers and Celtic are doing well in Europe". Another continuity problem for PQ there; of Rangers 28 Euro' games over the last two seasons, BBC Scotland have refused to cover 14 of them, because they were played at Ibrox. It's just another PQ Gang Hut production, masters of the intermittent broadcast. I hope it's not because Michael Stewart does not like the way Rangers do things as a club? Next season, may I suggest spends a week talking to Chris McLaughlin, it will be the same effect and cost a helluva lot less.

Go on then, I've not done one for a while. I'll take the Aberdeen match if no one else wants it.
