    We were named after an English Rugby club called simply The Rangers. When the English use the adjective 'Glasgow' it is seemingly to distinguish us from those upstarts, Queens Park Rangers. Why not 'London' or even 'Woolwich Arsenal'? Because they are famous enough in their own right. So it should be with us. And just for the record, I'm equally unhappy with Glasgow Keltic. In the song it is only used because it wouldn't scan otherwise:)

    McLaren is quite a sensible suggestion actually. Keegan I like but he has shown he can't hack it when the pressure is cranked up, plus he's no tactician. Hoddle just might be persuaded to leave Spain though. Sad thing is I think we're stuck with Levein. Pains me to say it as I thought he was a strong character. Bloody-minded more like.
  3. alexscottislegend
    Cannot disagree with anything said. But Levein was brought in because of Burley's awful man-management; who could we possibly get now? I've heard clamour for Souness but (1) he wouldn't want the job; and (2) he would alienate some players due to his abrasive style - remember his treatment of Graham Roberts?

    So well known it has to be prefaced with "Glasgow". Take a look at what it says on the Ibrox gates - the 'Rangers'. You never hear of 'London' Arsenal.

    Some years ago when my uncle who started me off as a Gers supporter came back from Australia he heard Flower of Scotland for the first time and declared: "anyone with a drop of Scots blood in them would not fail to be moved by it." The hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I hear it sung properly -i.e by the Corries. Forget the Jacobite nonsense. Maybe you would prefer if Scotland was officially renamed England (which is what pre-war history books call it) and we had a GB team which would very quickly be called England as soon as it played at wembley. I'm proud to be British but I'm Scottish first.

    Is that the same "wee chunt" that we pursued relentlessly a few seasons back? If so, good riddance.

    That means we will have a midfield pairing of Edu and McCulloch! I hope the players stand close to each other as there is no one in that team who can pass more than 5 yards. Suppose Weis could play there but not sure WS will give him a shot.

    Article suggests he is a sort of wide player who can score a goal or two. But what I'm wondering is: he is not a full international for Algeria, so how could he get a work permit? Thought you had to play for your country if you were non-EU. Or is he on a French passport?

    In theory - stress, in theory - that's some team, but as others have said, the likes of Fleck have still to realise their potential. I also think it's time for Naismith to show that the undoubted potential he showed at Kilmarnock is much more than just that.
  10. alexscottislegend
    All you people calling for his head should first think about (a) who would want the job; and (b) who is available that we could afford. Levein may be the best of the rest. Billy Davies anyone? Craig Broon?

    Great post but you tell your kids to "GTF" if they won't let you listen to 'Jazz Record Requests'.
  12. alexscottislegend
    Stick in Adam and Boyd and Webster and we could have a complete team with the exception of D. Fletch.

    http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/editor-s-picks/shittu-link-to-celtic-move-1.1052721 Oh, what a shame, what a crying, crying shame that Rafael Scheidt left a few years back.

    Who is 'big jig'? And whence the source of his nickname?
  15. alexscottislegend
    That's the point; it may just be bad luck, but he is still young enough to recover, but his performances for Utd showed he is one of the best Scottish centre halves around.
  16. alexscottislegend
    Hopefully this now means the end of Lafferty and Naismith on the wing. Just hope that Fleck gets a look in as an attacking midfielder. If Jelavic comes, then Velicka and Lafferty would be surplus to requirements.
  17. alexscottislegend
    Yeh, all:) right!

    Sloppy journalese mate. I loathe those cliches like the one this morning talking about McGeady -he has 'lifted the lid' on his time in Glasgow. What lid would that be? The one covering the dustbin he crawled under?
  19. alexscottislegend
    Seems they are only trying to cup-tie him to screw us. how childish. If the roles were reversed we wouldn't go this far to keep an unhappy player.
  20. alexscottislegend
    Here we go again - is it really worth responding to?
  21. alexscottislegend
    St Etienne play in green - is that what you're thinking of? Dont otherwise see how they've confused us and them.

    Delighted to see the wee traitor banished. He won't last long there anyway and hopefully will fade away into obscurity.

    There are a number of reasons why I hope we sign this fella: 1) He can play the lone striker role, which Boyd could not. And 4-5-1 seems to be the way to play these days. 2) Even if we pay �£4m. the Keltic have given us �£2m of that with their CL non-exploits. 3) With him on board, less opportunity for Lafferty to continue to flatter to deceive. 4) Fleck is sidelined. 5) He's young enough to improve and generate some sell-on value. 6) Like with Prso it would be the kind of signing to give the fans a lift. The only negative I see may be that Lafferty returns to the left flank. Ugh!

    I'll be supporting Motherwell and Hibs now as well as us because we need all the help we can get. While I have no fears of us not winning the SPL every season, I don't want to have to pre-qualify for Europe each year. Those of you cheering Keltic's demise will do well to remember that.
