Nacho Novo Now score on Saturday

Apologies mate but your wrong He will miss the gam on the 16th April though

1-1 Kenny Miller

1-0 Croatia Kranjcar

Can i some this all up in one word ?? Scum Simple, they will do any litle we thing to gain an advantage. Stop the game happening in January due to McGeady being suspended, McDonald being affected by the death of O'Donnell and Celtic on a bad streak of results. They can't say that the club was affected etc etc by the death, this week a past Celtic player past away who played more times for Celtic than O'Donnell did, so are they going to try and get this game called off as well? Yet at least they can go on there wee journey to Japan, but hopefully before then they can be counting their Yens while were counting our trophies

Just like me then, cannot wait Listning to a few songs this now

Funny that since i have been of school the last 2 days Anyway thanks

Someone must have read it then. Thoughts ??? Thought i done pretty good and proved my worth again

I don't know as Hartson has been very honest in his columns Hope it isn't true

Just posted this up on a football forum i am part of, thought i would share this with you lot as well First of all i think this is shocking that there is a game getting played tonight, fair enough it will be Burley's first game but there is an Old Firm game this Saturday which is of great importance. Five regular Rangers players are not in the squad, four of them pulled out Ferguson ( Scotland Captain ), McGregor, Dailly and McCulloch. David Weir was left out the team by Burley to give him a rest due to his age and how many games he has played for Rangers this season. One Celtic player has pulled out which is Barry Robson. Another two call offs have been the magician McFadden and the back up player of Stephen Pearson. This leaves Scotland short of 7 players. I think it's good to see that the Rangers players have been told to pull out , as i am a Rangers fan, i don't wan't any the players running the risk of injury to such an important game coming up. Only Rangers player left in the team is Kris Boyd. Celtic have 4 players in the team, which are Mcmanus ( who will be captain tonight ), Hartley, Brown and Caldwell. Lets say Brown and McManus get injured tonight, Celtic fans will go into meltdown that they were playing. This game should never have been arranged, especially when the SFA knew there was an Old Firm game happening the following Saturday. They could of had one of the meet up things they normally have at their training camp, SFA got this one totally wrong. Anyway enough of that, another farse has been the tickets for this game. Go on have a guess how much a friendly will be to watch Scotland ................................................................�£25 for a friendly, its a joke, last week i went to Hampden for the League Cup Final, that cost me �£24, �£24 for a cup final, �£25 for a meaning less friendly, makes no sense at all. Why doesn't the SFA reward the loyal Scotland fans that followed them in the Euro qualification, Hampden was full every game. Reports are saying that Hampden will be only at the most half full, what would Burley rather see on his first game in charge, Scotland flgs flying around the whole stadium, or red and blue empty seats. Obviously he would rather see the stadium full with flags everywhere, Scotland fans singing , SFA have got this one totally wrong again with the pricing of tickets. Will be a proud moment for Burley tonight, but seeing the stadium half full, lets all agree, it's not a pretty sight. Yes i still bought a ticket for tonights game, was stupid enough but thankfully i have managed to get rid of it. For one costing me �£25 , plus to get me to/ back from the game and something to eat etc etc, looking at least me spending �£40 for a friendly. For me that is alot of money, especially with alot of important Rangers games coming up i will give this one a miss and watch it on the tv. Also only 1 Rangers player in the team, will be paying to watch Celtic really with a few Premiership players I got �£20 for it which was good a suppose Anyway with all that done with , looking forward to the game. Will be intresting to see what lineup/formation George Burley plays in his first game in charge for Scotland. I would like to see him go 4-4-2. In goals will be the 9 million man of Craig Gordon. I haven't seen much of him at Sunderland this season, as much as i seen him at Hearts. Apparantly he has had a few dodgy games, he hasn't done anything wrong for Scotland though. Allan McGregor the Rangers goalkeeper has been having a magnificant season, was pushing Gordon all the way for tonights game to be in between the sticks, but thankfully for Gordon, McGregor has pulled out the squad. At right back will be another 9 million man ( Scotland has got some great talent ) of Allan Hutton. He has only broke into the Scotland team this season, ut has rightly made that positiong his own, he will probably have that position for his own for the next 10 years. I haven't seen him play much since he left Rangers to join Tottenham, but he must be alright down south if Tottenham are winning , especially winning cups. We definetly know that McManus will be playing at centre back, he will be captain tonight due to Barry Ferguson's absence. McManus is also the Celtic captain and will take huge pride by leading Scotland out tonight. Yes he is a Celtic player but i think he is a good player and a decent proffesional. The question is though who will partner him at the heart of defence. Christophe Berra the Hearts captain has been called up and could be giving his first cap, while the Sunderland centre back Russell Anderson has been called up as well. Or will Burley play Gary Caldwell, both McManus and Caldwell play at theback together for Celtic, but they can be a liabilty at times. I would throw in Christophe Berra to see how he gets on. George Burley has called upon somebody to make the left back position their own, as we don't have alot of good left backs. The man who has been doing the job for us is Gary Naysmith, he has done a good enough job but we need someone better. James McEveley might fill in at left back tonight, played a few times for Scotland, maybe he could be the player who can hold down that position on his own. Midfield looks fairly simple to pick from since the amount of call offs we have had, with Darren Fletcher being called up after re covering from injury and Gavin Rae the ex Rangers and Dundee midfielder now playing at Cardiff has also been called up. Although Gavin probably won't play, he will probably be starting on the bench. I think the midfield will be made up of Celtic duo Hartley and Brown, along with Darren Fletcher, with probably Gary Teale ( hope not ) or Shaun Maloney Up front will be intresting. Kris Boyd the only Rangers player in the team is a favourite to start up front. Kenny Miller the Derby striker might play up front along side him. Although all the talk has been about Steven Fletcher getting his first call up. The Hibs youngster has been impressing everyone this season, there has also been talk about Real Madrid wanting him. Would be great to see him start up front tonight to see how he would get on in the big stage. So i think the team will look something like this ____________Gordon_____________ Hutton___McManus___Berra___McEveley Brown___Hartley____Fletcher__Maloney __________Boyd____Fletcher______ Although i can see Caldwell playing instead of Berra and Miller ahead of Fletcher I can see Scotland getting beat tonight of a quality team in Croatia, will be good if we got a draw and great if we managed to get a win. Don't see it happening though with many important players missing 3-1 Croatia i think

Just seen this thread until now. Thats shocking 38million in debt Also are they not planning a 51million stadium expansion or something. Hearts are stuffed in a few years i think

Soti would do a grand job for us. I thought it was who you would like, not who we could afford Hyypia would do a job for us

Well since all the talk of it started yesterday manily i have been getting nervous from then. Leading up to Old Firm games, i always get the Rangers songs out an play them all the time. Winding the manks in school all week how we are going to pump them, got loads of berves this now, god knows what i will be like at 12pm Saturday afternoon when i enter Ibrox. I go in and just stare at the unwashed players and fans for about 5 mins, get something to eat. Then the seat i have for the Old Firm game is next to the tunnel, so when the Celtic players are going into the changing rooms to get ready , i can shout abuse at them. When the Gers players are going in you can get them fired up for it I can't wait, seeing Thomson flatten Brown, seeing McGeady getting two footed, seeing Donati getting the pish ripped out of him etc etc Am excited

Wes Brown Ledley King Sami Hyypia Harry Kewell Maxi Rodriguez Ivan Klasnic Kasper Schmeichel Hernan Crespo Antonio Cassano Soti Kyrgiakos A would take all of them above, every single one of them could strenghten our team/squad

Am thinking of not going tomorow night, trying to get rid of my ticket

To be honest with you McGregor looks like he loves it here, yes maybe he could do a Hutton but i think he will be here next season, along with King Carlos

Keith Jackson speaks alot of sense. I use to listen to them every night, but stopped, listened to it last night, first time in ages, probably listen to it again tonight. Love the build up to an Old Firm game

PLG will get hanged if they go down, PSG are a top top club, the fans won't have any of that PLG was a nightmare for us, when i look back, why did i get excited about him coming ????

Would i get for Boruc to get sent of during the match on Saturday Or even Mcgeadinho

Well that stat of Barry shows that he isn't involved in the games as much, or he is matured into a good proffesional and knows what he is doing during a game

You can't say that players don't want to play for Scotland. Ferguson, Dailly and McCulloch has served Scotland great over the last so many years. It's good to see the players pull out, don't want to risk any injury for a big game of the season coming on Saturday. Just imagine if they did play, Ferguson made his ankle in a worse condition and was out for the rest of the season, Dailly got injured. That's two of our midfield players. Same can happen with McGregor / McCulloch If Scott Brown, McManus, Hartley, Caldwell, whoever picks up an injury then the Celtic fans will go crazy

This year Celtics problem has been Scott Brown, or should i say Broon. He gets booked in like every match. And is that true about Barry not getting booked this season, thats a shocker

McGeady or Boruc to get sent off would be great. I think everyone would love big Sasa to hit one right into the top corner, that would be brilliant

The build up has started, can't wait for Saturday I think you have got the defence spot on there Cammy The midfield though , i think will be 5 men in there, Davis out on the right and Novo out on the left. With the 3 central midfielder of Ferguson, Thomson and Dailly ( that's if Ferguson and Dailly have recovered ) Up front i could see Walter starting McCulloch, due to his physical prescence up there, but Darche can create a chance out of nothing with a quick turn. I would like to see Dache, get behind the Celtic defence with his pace About the announcement, i was really pruod of the club making these gestures to the fans. Sir David Murray said there will be another announcement in May, which looks like it's going to be the announcement of the new stadium and the complex which will surround it. He said that only 20% of it's revenue will come from football, so this is a major thing. It also looks like Walter will get at least 10 million to spend this summer. Yes Sir David has said he would like out the club, but he is still enjoying to be here, looking towards the future of Rangers, yes the new stadium etc etc will attract a buyer, but Sir David is waiting for the right man for the job

Enjoy it mate, was looking up flights but still far too expensive:(
