  1. wait to you see the backlash in the media against Lee McCulloch.

     

    i personally think Kayal is over-rated,it's their width from midfield that is better than ours.

     

    it couldn't have happened to nicer bastard. i hope he is in agony.

  2. my daughter took advantage of this last night,however she was under the impression it was only for the Kilmarnock game.

    i checked the online tickets on Rangers site and there are no student discounts for Saturday.

  3. Ramadan starts today and as it falls in summer, makes fasting during daylight hours even longer.

    Does Boogie get dispensation when he's training or playing to take on water to stop him dehydrating or is it quite strict?

    STV understands Hearts manager Jim Jefferies and his assistant Billy Brown have been removed from their positions, with Jefferies being offered an upstairs role at Tynecastle.

     

    It is also understood Gary Locke, the club's current first team coach, has been offered the manager's post on an interim basis.

     

    Jefferies has been offered a role as director of football with the club but STV understands the 60-year-old is not interested in the post and will decline.

     

    Hearts are currently on a run of 10 games without a win, having picked up their last victory on March 19 against St Mirren in a 3-2 win. In Jefferies' second spell in charge, he has taken control of 61 games, winning 25.

     

    Jefferies and Brown have worked permanently together since taking their first job at Berwick Rangers in 1988, followed by moves to Falkirk in 1990 and then Hearts in 1995.

     

    Bradford City came calling in 2000 to take the duo to the English Premier League, a job which ended in their sackings, before they were appointed at Kilmarnock in 2002.

     

     

    mad vlad strikes again:surprised:

  5. Fair point mate.

     

    I'm astounded Edu, McCulloch and Whittaker lasted the full game.

     

    i fear the management think they are undroppable.

     

    any shake up from the hour mark should have happened just to try something different.

     

    we were far too predictable.

  6. Martin Bain Resigns

     

    Martin Bain has officially resigned as chief executive of Rangers and is suing the club for breach of contract.

     

    Rangers suspended Bain soon after Craig Whyte took over from Sir David Murray as owner of the club, a move that upset the long-serving Ibrox official.

     

    On Monday, Rangers responded to Bain's intention to sue by saying that he had declined an invitation to meet an independent investigator.

     

    And the club said that Bain had offered his resignation in March.

     

    Rangers released a statement on Friday, which read: "The club confirms that Martin Bain has resigned and is no longer an employee of Rangers Football Club."

     

    Bain's action against Rangers will be raised at the Court of Session on a date still to be determined.

     

    Earlier, Bain had issued a statement declaring his intention to pursue legal action and said he was unhappy at the manner in which Rangers had dealt with him.

    We are surprised that Martin Bain has issued a statement in respect of his employment relationship with the club as it has recently come to light, as late as last week, that he had tendered his resignation in March

     

    Rangers statement

     

    Bain had said: "It was not pleasant for me or my family to read in newspapers that I had been replaced and never to return to the club I have served with pride."

     

    Whyte was quoted stating that there was no way back at the club for Bain or finance director Donald McIntyre, who was also suspended following his takeover.

     

    And Monday's statement from Rangers in full read: "We are surprised that Martin Bain has issued a statement in respect of his employment relationship with the club as it has recently come to light, as late as last week, that he had tendered his resignation in March.

     

    "We were investigating the circumstances surrounding that purported resignation and a number of other serious allegations and are seeking his response to a number of legitimate questions we have of him.

     

    "We had hoped that Mr Bain would attend a meeting with an independent investigator this Friday and hope that he will reconsider his refusal to attend this meeting."

     

    In a statement released through his lawyers, Bain had added: "I would like to thank everyone for their messages of support and for those in the wider Rangers family who have expressed their disappointment in the way my situation has been dealt with.

     

    "Serving RFC for the last 15 years has been a privilege and although we have had tough times I have always had the loyal support of our fans and supporters.

     

    "I will now hand matters over to my legal advisors.

     

    "Those responsible will have the opportunity to explain what they have done and why in court.

     

    "I would hope not to comment further now that I have instructed legal proceedings and will leave matters to my advisors."

     

    Bain's lawyer Peter Watson told BBC Scotland Rangers' statement was "full of factual errors", adding "Rangers (would be) well advised to reserve their position for court."
