  1. West Brom are to bid �£4m for Kevin Thomson according to the Record

     

    West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is set to launch a �£4m bid to land Rangers midfielder Kevin Thompson but he faces a fight to land him.

     

    Gers manager Walter Smith will resist all attempts to take the 23-year-old away from Ibrox but �£4m would see them double the �£2m they paid Hibernian for his services.

     

    Baggies boss Mowbray knows all about Thompson as he was team captain when Mowbray was manager at Hibs but he is unlikely to be able to land the player this time around.

     

    Mowbray is seeking new players to strengthen the squad so he has a fighting chance of surviving the Premiership next season and Thompson would certainly have fitted that bill but Gers boss Smith would be very reluctant to allow him to leave

  2. Derby County chairman Adam Pearson has revealed that Kenny Miller is close to sealing a move back to Rangers.The 28-year-old Scotland international joined the Rams for around �£3million from Celtic last summer and netted four times in 30 appearances during a difficult season at Pride Park.

    However, Miller has been allowed to hold talks with Rangers after the two clubs agreed a fee for his services.

    The well-travelled striker spent one season at Rangers in 2000/01 and worked successfully under now Gers boss Walter Smith during his time at the Scotland helm.

    "The two clubs have agreed a deal and we are reasonably happy with the package, so it is now down to Kenny to sort things out with Rangers," revealed Pearson.

    "I don't envisage any problems because Kenny is keen to go to Rangers and Rangers are keen to sign him.

    "We have had one firm offer and three serious enquiries about signing him but Kenny told us he wasn't interested because he wants to go to Rangers."

     

     

     

     

     

     

    looks like kenny will def be back then

  3. linked again with Real Madrid in the record today :confused:

     

    "Hibs boss Mixu Paatelainen has blasted reports that striker Steven Fletcher will be heading for Real Madrid this summer. He has been continually linked with the Spanish giants but is under contract until 2013."

  4. I don't see how winning the league is so out of our grasp. Walter Smith "beat" Strachan in the second half of the season with a team that could do nothing under Paul Le Guen, with no time and little money.

     

    I think he's proven he can do it. Celtic and others will claim they already had the league sown up so weren't trying, but that is wishful thinking. If you take a few of their late results away, we could have gone into the last few games only a point or two behind. The league wasn't tied up till three games to go, so you can't say they weren't trying till that point, unless they really lack character.

     

    In fact, I think their lead was responsible for those late wins. When you're cruising you are relaxed enough to score in the last minute. It's a totally different story when your really under pressure to get the points. Just ask Paul Le Guen.

     

    I think our performances under PLG against the bottom half of the table simply flattered Celtic and that they are one of the worst teams to ever win the SPL despite the good CL run. McLeish had a good CL run also with a relatively poor SPL team, so it is not a measure.

     

    Smith has now strengthened, as have Celtic, with neither team setting the heather alight with their signings. Most of them are nothing special or a bit of a gamble.

     

    I can see a close run race, but think Walter has the psychological edge. We won't drop many points to the wee teams and think we're more than a match for the likes of the Edinburgh clubs, especially now Hibs are depleted of their best players.

     

    Walter has already got the better of Gordon in the head to heads so those games don't hold too much fear.

     

    I think we may wind them up again by winning by point or so.

     

     

    pretty much covers my thoughts exactly :D SPL is well within reach and hopefully add the Scottish Cup as well

  5. eventually down to 6 players and pumped 5-2 by the Septic :-( to send us crashing oot, never caught the st midden game as amir khan wis on. well and owen coyle taught timmy a well desrved lesson in the final 5-1 to the well :D
