Guy next to me is a bit of an auld fella. An optimistic. Rothen reached a stage tonight where fans around us were booing his every touch.. the auld fella shouted to one of them to go home if they were just there to boo players. Fair play. The third goal goes in. 'Come on Rangers.. one goal and we're back in this'. The 4th goes in. 'I can't take this..' He said it with the sound of genuine heartache and he got up and left.. I know deep down he didn't want to and I dare say he never does leave early.. but it just goes to show how heartwrenching watching something like that is even to the most optimistic of fan.

No offence mate but this is complete garbage you are contributing.

I work for William Hill and had actually heard this muttered about a week ago but took it as bullshit.. shows what I know.

Got another 90 minutes tonight in a 4-0 win..

FIFA one is different.. sort of cream with a big diagonal line on it.

Pretty plain but I've seen worse.. http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Headlines/0,,5~1818962,00.html

Christ missed that today.. what was that about? Durrant'll need a new shoulderblade.

Fair play again to BB over there for spot on info ahead of everyone else.

Aye that update comes from the most reliable of sources so not looking good. I too would love to see Wilson thrown in and to see him shine but we know it's not going to happen. Back 4 will be Whittaker - Weir - Papac - Smith.. surely.

Was just thinking of him with the news of Bougherra being a doubt or tomorrow. Was it ever officially said which options we have with regards to recalling him?

This sort of things makes it even more unbelievable that we didn't sign a centre back in the summer. Still, he might be fine..

If Bougherra is out.. what's the other option other than McCulloch? Walter would never throw Danny Wilson into the cauldron and clearly he doesn't fancy Papac as a centre back which rules out nudging him in one and playing Smith at left back/

Rangers are likely to be without Madjid Bougherra for Sunday's Old Firm derby as the defender is suffering from flu. Lee McCulloch could replace him if he recovers from illness, while Kyle Lafferty could start up front even though Kenny Miller might be fit. Celtic defender Andreas Hinkel and winger Paddy McCourt, who are both carrying knocks, did not train and will have fitness tests on Saturday. Midfielder Scott Brown will continue to play despite a nagging ankle injury. Didn't see this posted.. my confidence just wained slightly.

Ugh.. I'd made a point of not watching TV footage as it would bring the anger back from Tuesday night and I walk into this thread and see that clip.. Jesus.

Fair point I think.. Was shocked to see quite a few empty seats considering the past few CL group games at Ibrox have been stowed and as you say it just didn't have that.. I dunno, feel to it.. dunno if the majority of fans expecting the worse had a lot to do with it and we haven't exactly been in barnstorming form leading into this.. just wonder if we'd grinded out a couple of away results in the league and stuffed the sheep if that would of helped the feeling around the place going into tonight but we'll never know. Atmosphere was good in general and think the roof would of come off had we been awarded a penalty and converted. Think I'm still just a bit baffled at the events on the pitch to be honest and can't even compile a coherent report of how the night as a whole was.

My leaving after 4-0 down wasn't for the sake of being seen to walk out on the team.. I just genuinely saw what I was watching as torture which I had paid to be put through.

Will happily admit to leaving as soon as the 4th went in. Watching Rangers getting a thrashing is torture so what I'm supposed to sit and watch the game ebb out and stare at the humiliating scoreboard just so I can be considered a real fan by staying to the end? Give me a break. Maybe I could see the argument if we'd been winning 1-0 or something.. but to complain about people leaving (especially after the 4th moreso than the 3rd which, in fairness no one here is doing) is scandal.

Anyone been watching? Being a sad bastard on a Friday night and watching Spain.. 4-0 up against Tahiti approaching half time.. 2 goals by Aaron and 2 assists from him aswell..

Did we expect any less?

Someone mentioned it elsewhere that Naismith is somewhat of a poor man's Tim Cahill.. he's right, in a sense. The amount of headers he won tonight having done the same against Holland for a man his size is quite remarkable.

Stuck the odd �£4 in my Ladbrokes account on: EVERTON v. AEK Athens Lille v. VALENCIA AJAX v. Timisoara Nacional v. WERDER BREMEN FENERBAHCE v. Twente Returns �£57. Posting this here as I'm likely to forget all about the bet tomorrow.

Coral's today were offering 6/5 for there to be more goals in the Liverpool game than in the Arsenal game.. considering Liverpool were 1/7 to beat Debrecen it sounded a cracking bet.. but by the time I went round it was cut to 8/11 so never bothered.. good job!

�£20 on Liverpool, Lyon and Dynamo got me �£72.73 and �£5 on Dynamo, Olympiakos and a draw with Inter/Barca got me �£64. Decent night for a change.

Brilliant atmosphere last night. Was sitting just below the media.. every time I saw Spiers he was typing and not even watching the fucking game.

Likewise.. just heading into town. Should be good.
