I agree mostly with what The Real Papa Bear has to say here but I'm still pro-union. Whatever happened to the so-called "max-devo" option? Surely that option is/was win-win?

Green (and most likely Ally too) will have seen the prank phone call becoming such a public affair as an extremely easy way to cut short an expensive flop signing. As much as I feel sorry for Sandaza as I don't think that what he said was all that bad, I can't blame the club for seizing the opportunity to cut some dead wood. At the same time, I hope it lets the rest of the players know that their contracts aren't necessarily safe.

I'd like to know what we do in training because tactics don't seem to be part of it. Absolutely woeful display today against an inferior side on paper. Shiels & Little should have swapped positions as Little is wasted on the wing & I didn't even realise that's Shiels was playing until half time. Gunning can elbow Black in the face & get a yellow, Naismith can come in slightly late & get a straight red? I would have walked all the players off the pitch.

Clatty Bastard. Shit happens, but he should have washed his hands. Im never eating Walkers crisps again.

I hope it stays this way for many years to come. It's been great to see the volume of families at games these days, I never remember there being this many. It was always a father & son event, but this season has been different. Or.. I've just not paid attention before.

Harry said he would welcome the old firm in England but he wasn't so sure his chairman would feel the same.

Right now Wallace & Templeton could play in England. 3 years from now McKay, Aird & Macleod could potentially play in England.

When the haters have power, be that media or money, & we let them abuse that power it can hurt us whether we think we are invincible or not. Perhaps if Murray had been more pro-active in this area it wouldn't have been so easy for Scottish media to become so blatantly against Rangers.

Calm down, roll over & just let all the Rangers haters walk all over you then.

I'm pretty sure we hired him as 'head of communications' and not as an investigative journalist.

If that's not the way things work then how can we be angry with Naismith, McGregor et al?

Maybe they would.. but at 34 he doesn't have much time left to play to capacity crowds

The money is not the issue here. He deserves a 2 year contract. He stuck with us through our period of instability, we owe it to him.

He still has 6-8 years left in him. He wasn't just a bench warmer, he played cup games. If he didn't we would have lost him. He is far better than what Carrol was and he played in the PL.

He is still a quality keeper who could easily be a top championship teams first choice.

I find it baffling how quickly everyone is coming out & telling him to fuck off based on his current wage without hearing what it would take to sign him. I'd say the fact he is nearing the end of his career gives us a better chance of him taking less money. In fact.. I think he has 49,406 reasons to take a paycut. 2012 was the year we proved to the world that we are more than a club. Every football player wants to play in front of sellout crowds.

Am I missing something? Week in, week out I read disgruntled fans complaining we don't score enough goals.. here we have a proven goalscorer who will bang in several goals against even SPL teams in most games and yet we are telling him to fuck off? So what if he left twice? The first time he was pushed, the second time he jumped before he was pushed. As for his age, I agree younger players are the way forward but I think even the fittest kids would struggle to keep up with his workload. Surely that can only be a good thing for pushing our team?

Hugh Grant talked about loving Rangers on a 'this is your life' style program, he also mentioned us on Jonathan Ross. His dad is/was a Bluenose & said he has visited Ibrox many, many times. He then added that we are the only club in Scotland that will accept an Englishman cheering them on from the stands and the only club he knows of that sings Rule Britannia. He also told how he used to fake a Scottish accent when he visited his grand father because he hated the 'english Bastard' accent.. and he had a gun.

He was asked questions. He answered them. Most people dont go out of their way to give a journalist an interview..

There are loads of photos of him in circulation with a Gers top on.

Perhaps the fact we are so far ahead is the reason? 4-4-2 wide definitely works for us but maybe he is just trying other tactics. Against Queens park we had McKay running through the middle when he could have been out on a wing tearing it up. We need a striker. Even an under-18 would do. We can sign under 18's, right?

Sandaza has been woeful but he needs a run in the team, match fitness & us to get behind him. This season he is our fall guy.. 2008-10 was Edu, 2011-12 was Broadfoot & it now looks like Sandaza will be th boo-boy in 2013.

I'm going 3-1 to us. I think the Annan boys might have a wee hangover.

It made a 2x4 inch article on page four of the daily record.

I thought Hegarty was poor at RB yesterday. Seemed slow & nervous, almost scared of the ball.
