Having looked at the players at the end of their contracts (excluding the loanees) there isn't one id keep on regardless of the division we are in. The number of players out of contract is a blessing and gives us a great chance to start building a new squad. Plenty of wages will be freed up. Obviously if we do the tricky task today and get promotion it becomes a tough job to get quality through the door. But if we are in the championship again a fresh manager and coaching team should come in and be given the opportunity to build a new team and squad for the long term. - Something that should have been done 3 years ago.

I never mentioned he wanted the job but pretty sure he is available if he isn't working at the moment. Besides its just an opinion.

Adam v Naismith in the first game. I think Charlie will get the better of him.

Id imagine they have 1 or 2 names for the championship and again 1 or 2 for the Premiership. Unfortunately I think McCall is in line also regardless what league we are in.

Jimmy Calderwood would have been a better appointment than McCall short term. He knows how to get a squad up for it and has spent a lot of time in Holland. He isn't a popular name but for a short term appointment id have taking him. Its not like Alex Ferguson or Klopp would have come in and done it.

Once we got our goal on Thursday I certainly thought that could make all the difference. At 3-0 down I would have said it wouldn't happen. But if we go out and get a goal in the first half today then we are right in it. Going to have to find a good link to the game later as Im travelling today (hint hint)....I stupidly should have travelled tomorrow during a public holiday.

They are certainly realistic and Im warming to them a bit. I can only see them getting a Championship job but there isn't to many going around. Derby look set to go for Paul Clement. If Leeds get things together off the park they might fancy them. Down one league the Sheff Utd job is available but Weir has already been there so they wont go for him again. Martin Jol is someone Ive wanted for years but there is no way we could get him in the Championship. Even in the top flight it would be a big ask.

That's a lot of games, but its down to that Europa League which starts in about 2 weeks time! Crazy.

It would have been worth a fiver. Arsenal blew Villa away. This team are clicking now bar a couple of poor results against Swansea and Sunderland which would have finished them in 2nd and really been a good season if they got that. But 3rd is league improvement against 2 high spenders above them and they retain the FA cup. If they could get Peter Cech in the summer plus Khedira or Schneiderlin then they should mount a title challenge. Chambers and Gabriel need to come good or they may need a centre half also. A lot of pundits saying they need a striker, if they play Walcott as a striker then he will get them 20 goals plus Giroud will get near 20 also. They just need to tighten things up at the back. I worry for Sanchez next season, he has just played a full season after the World cup and now has the copa America, he will be knackered. Ive bought tickets to the Asia Trophy - Arsenal, Everton, Stoke and Singapore...pity Sanchez wont make it as he would be worth the entry fee alone.

There is not training well and there is not being fit enough to train....2 different things. Le Tiss was fit and a quick runner.

Taking a second look at Dalys photo, is that Kris Boyd running a mile behind everyone playing catch up and looking out of breath.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Daly go back to Dundee Utd and do a half decent job there like he did previously. Its just a common theme that so many players come to Rangers and do badly.

An interesting one is Aston Villa and Falkirk both last won the FA and SFA Cups in 1957 and both are in todays finals....if I could get a bet I would do a cup double on those two just for that.

Id have a punt at Sir Alex myself

So make a number of changes for the weekend then! Id rather see an attacking team with plenty changes and have a right go and not go up and play the same team. The only good thing is he cant play 5 at the back on Sunday, he HAS to go for it. Must be 4-3-3 for me.

As bad as Black is id have had him in the team ahead of Shiels tonight. The list of departures this summer is growing and growing. Id rather play the kids and Legends than some of the current squad.

I agree a total shake up is needed and McCall is nowhere near what is required, I almost thought he looked weak tonight and was overawed by the occasion of playing his old side. I don't agree with the 'fuck off McCall comments' that's just silly. In these plays offs the record is P5 W2 D1 L2 F6 A6 - that record isn't near good enough.

Defo Arsenal from me. West Ham are my English team but have always had a soft spot for the Gooners and have enjoyed watching them since 1997. Would also like to see them win for Southampton to get them into Europe. A stronger Arsenal will be better for the English league next season also and another cup win will put them towards that.

I don't see the problem stating the obvious though, it won't effect the team preparations at all. If anything it could make them more determined to prove doubters wrong. If he does start mcculloch tonight the a number of fans will be questioning it.

The OF game after the 6-2 was 5-1 to Rangers at Ibrox. Flo's debut.

The only argument against that is would McCall have gave up that job had he been the highest paid manager in the country?

Doesn't LOOK fat, he IS fat in that picture. A disgrace of a shape for a professional footballer.

That's not down to the player himself though, Im pretty sure the poor coaching is more responsible for that.

"We are never going to kick one of these again in a famous blue jersey"

I don't think we should be looking outside Scotland for EVERY player. We need some rebuilding job this summer if we go up and need no fewer than 8 first teamers. Id be bringing the potentially talented Scots in with a mix of good experienced players.
