Do they not have 'Specsavers' in Singapore?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Mullins a left back? I thought Papac can cover for Smith - does that mean Smith is unlikely to regain his former form, so to speak? If so,that would really be a tragedy.

Technically they're wrong. The name comes from an English Rugby club - The Rangers. (See Wikipaedia.)

What the hell do we want Frey for? He's a goalkeepr! We have 2 excellent ones.

Please get the name of our club right - it's RANGERS F.C. Do you you ever say LONDON Arsenal? Look above the gates at Ibrox, look at the club letterheads!

Why are we all just accepting this? We don't NEED the money at the moment. We (hopefully) will have a Champions League group to negotiate. If we are serious about competing in it then we need players of Carlos' calibre. It's not like the Hutton situation where we did actually need the dosh.

Just heard that Liverpool have signed Swiss right back Degen on a free. That seems a good move. Could have done a job for us methinks. Only 26 and played v. well against Scotland last year. I'm assuming that WS doesn't see Whittaker as RB.

You've forgotten that Carlos is suspended. It just gets worse....

Maybe someone on this forum could start a "Do you want Kenny Miller?" poll. I'm pretty sure what the answer would be. I'm not against him on ability, just his attitude. Look at cousin for instance.

And what about Gordon Brown? Is he upset because of...damage to Rangers' reputation, Glasgow's reputation, Scotland's reputation? No! He's upset because it might affect - wait for it - ENGLAND'S 2018 WORLD CUP BID!

Deco and Gudjohnson are available apparently - wouldn't they just solve our problems? Seriously, I think we should spend most of our budget on just 2 quality players; we already have a strong SQUAD.

Oooooh!.... clever! Won't happen of course. I now want us to win SPL more than ever if that were possible.

What should not be forgotten is that it's actually more important to win the SPL because of the guaranteed Champions League money. If we had won the UEFA but lost the league - can you imagine having to sit through the Euro qualifiers, Zeta and Red Star and the likes? We would be nervous wrecks.

I actually thought that just before they scored, we were playing our best stuff. The ITV team were saying that WS must have thought about replacing Darch. Think he could have brought Novo on then instead of waiting till his hand was forced. Even then the wee man nearly equalised. If we had scored first, I am convinced we would not have lost; for all their impressive football they never hurt us till Arshavin put that ball past Carlos.

The Record this morning says he IS now a doubt! Or are they just trying to make headlines?

Well said, that man! Not quite as good as 'The Madness and Genius of Crowds' but inspiring nonetheless.

Sorry - how do you move to the right thread?

Anyone seen the special new strip for the Final? Is it me or is the strip, modelled by Mark Hateley, almost sky blue? What is it with this Light Blue nonsense? Our colours are ROYAL BLUE! I even have an old LP with John McDonald singing a song called 'Royal Blue'! If it gets any paler we'll be Coventry city or Manchester City! (Or is it not now politically correct to say royal blue?)

Got mixed feelings about Fulham. This means they might want to hang on to Davis as well as take Cousin.

He's a Baptist minister I believe.

Is this Peter Martin the same one who now writes a column for the Evening Tims? If so he is a tosser of the highest order and a disgrace to the memory of a fine and balanced journalist, Alan Davidson.

Great piece of writing. Reminded me of McIllvanney at his best.Compare that to the idiot who who writes a column for the Evening Tims - Peter Martin I think his name is. He's predicting a 2-0 win to Zenit and has predicted Gers to lose every time.

Everyone is forgetting that we can afford ONE defeat. Motherwell were the better side up until they conceded a slack equaliser.

Let's not forget the dosh we get for qualifying for CL. AND the fact as winners we go into group stages. I couldn't stand another nerve-wracking qualifying round.

Got my victory speech already prepared: Aristotle Onassis, Archimedes,Gottlieb Daimler,Albert Einstein,Vasco Da Gama, Jorge Cadete, Leonardo da Vinci,Silvio Berlusconi, Leo Tolstoy, Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.......... YOUR BOYS TOOK A HELL OF A BEATING!
