eritrean boy wonder mogadon ennui and tabloide xasperasian, the armenian big hope, are rumoured to be on their way for trials.

thanks for the welcomes, btw.

in an ideal world, we'd see broadfoot getting some game time in. but if we're still there or thereabouts in the league we have to go with the best side. winning the title is obviously more important than blooding broadfoot. i'd say he can certainly pass muster in the SPL, higher than that we can't say as he's untried beyond scotland u-21 level. luckily he seems a bright guy and understands the position, and having trained with the saints for years in the mud i imagine he's still loving simply being a ranger. that won't be good enough for some, esp. those who claim to be 'real rangers men', but that's how it is.

mcevely would do, as long as we're ready for a player who is not the finished article. none of the above happening would be bad news to me, other than hutton going but if someone offers 7-8m, we can't say no.

was on the setanta site the other day, and read rob maclean criticising the cancellation decision as it more or less certainly gave celtic a 7 point lead on us. i left a comment suggesting this was wishful thinking on the sheep's part, and i will have the enormous pleasure in the next few minutes of nipping over there to gloat.

might it be getting to the stage where the trust and the club 'give up' on the media? you can only bang your head off a brick wall for so long, after all. since it's fairly obvious many are leaning to the east - 'outremer' - it might be a valid argument to say you're wasting your time trying.

we could learn a lesson from the early days of the socialist movement in glasgow - education is the key to empowerment. a more constructive use of the energies of the RST et al could be to continue their work in a purely Rangers environment, address RSC meetings, host conferences, leaflet games. it may seem a bit patronising and i daresay a few people would tell you to take a hike but it seems more constructive than hoping radio scotland will deign to give you 3 minutes to say little.
