buster.

Perhaps if they've been spending time in a tree house in Madagascar with no internet connections.

It's a start but we need to do it over several seasons before we'll feel much benefit.

About 45 miles

Each team in the draw will have their own co-efficient number because there will be no lapover between the play-off round and the actual draw for the group stages. Ufa: 10.676 Rangers: 3.725 ie. if we qualify we'll be in pot 4.

I'm only a non-expert and far be it from offering a Captain of Industry any advice on his area of 'expertise', I'd offer a simple opinion. It looks like conversion opposed to investment.

Glad to hear it, coming from your goodself !

I reckon at 1M, we'd get value and an eventual profit. Kilmarnock would probably want a tadge more. I'm thinking about a transfer kitty, only if boosted by EL group stage revenue.

We're going to have to get close to Hearts price if we want Lafferty in for European deadline. They know we want him and won't blink. Kilmarnock would want serious money for Jones and given his age and ability, he may just be worth it.

10 games in 32 days (2nd August to 2nd Sept) is a hard slog for a relatively small squad. We need players in NOW.

Personally, I'll listen because I think it's generally very good, worthwhile and I have the time. My observation is more directed at ways to try and grow an audience. Bottom line, I'd agree with putting the emphasis on quality. Another idea would be to try and allocate a part of the show to an 'original angle' / something exclusive. When you've had Steve (4LHAD) he's sometimes provided you with something in this ball park. Even going back to the Liverpool fan giving a topical insight into Flanagan worked well.

The obscene levels of money involved in football have converted what was part business / part sport into a corporate operation where the sport is almost incidental. Given the levels of money swishing around in many leagues, players need advice/agents. Some are good, some are bottom feeders with suits.

Thank's again lads, good listen ! One observation (not a criticism) is the timelapse between recording the podcast and it being published is too long and what happens is that the relevant points up for discussion on Sunday night have already been covered extensively in various parts of the media, including other podcasts. The faster you get it out, the more interest you'll get.

Agreed Although I'm getting to the stage of almost completely ignoring recovery timescales that come from the club because they seldom come to pass.

Yes, he was the hack who got the story about Sir Duped, a hotel room in London, a deal having been set-up to sell the club and a last minute question 'for the good of Rangers' that prevented the Duped one from going ahead with sale #WaltDisney We shouldn't forget he was also a backer of Craig Whyte when he arrived at Ibrox. This shows two things....... 1. He could be 'bought off'.........Sir Duped 2. His judgement on important issues is suspect............CW

It's good to have various names doing the rounds, if for nothing else, to let Hearts think/know that Lafferty isn't our only option. As more days pass, it seems as though Hearts and Rangers can't agree a price and that the Edinburgh club have better cards in this game of brinkmanship. SG wanted a forward in at the start of the month, then had to go along with the game until yesterday when he seemed to make it clear he wanted at least one in before the European deadline (I think it's 11pm tomorrow). If it doesn't happen by tomorrow night, maybe we will look elsewhere.

Aye, it was 13 years ago he was scoring for us in the CL in Porto.

I think they made 5 changes from their team on the Thursday v Progres. Perhaps resting players for Ibrox.

DM 2-0 Ufa 84 mins 3-0, 94 mins 3-0 FT

The Ufa defence has just been breached, 63rd minute Dynamo Moscow 1 Ufa 0

Isn't it about changing the soft loans into equity. They've already put the money in.

A professional Rangers supporter !!!

Re. McCormack Just make sure he doesn't live somewhere with an electric gate and everything would be fine

With an away trip to Russia on the horizon, you'll be giving both the BBC and BBC Scotland ideas for a double whammy.

Gerrard would have got to know Middleton at the Toulon tournament in the summer and he'd obviously seen enough to trust him with gametime from the off. It's then down to the player to show he can cope and play. I think he'll continue to get minutes rather than games.
