to be announced at press-conforence at 2:00PM http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/5093914.stm Don't know how I feel about this - he looks a good player buy my 'Birmingham contact' says he can be slow and lazy depending on which mood he is in. Cammy F

Especially for all the journos mentioned above, the tims who doubted right up until this morning and for us, the people, the picture we all wanted to see (and they didn't)... http://www.snspix.com/cgi-bin/SNSPix Cammy F

What? I din't start a post about me not being Scottish. I started a post about what it takes to be classed as Scottish. IMO I am much of a Scotsman as anyone on this forum... Oh, btw, that makes 5 threads now... Cammy F

Knicked from another forum, but worth a read... The Scottish Press, right on the button again; " Rangers have turned to France in their search for a successor to Alex McLeish, with former Monaco boss Didier Deschamps high on their list of candidates. On a day when the name of sought-after ex-Lyon manager Paul Le Guen was also optimistically thrown into the mix, World Cup winner Deschamps emerged as a serious contender to take over at Ibrox." Stephen McGowan, Daily Mail, November 12, 2005 "Paul Le Guen's agent last night insisted the French manager would rather continue in his sabbatical role as a television consultant than take up the reins at Ibrox when Alex McLeish is officially relieved of his duties. Frederic Guerra's sneering dismissal of any interest in assuming the Rangers manager's position will come as a blow to the Ibrox club's prestige." - Roddy Thomson, Sunday Herald, November 13, 2005 " The mid to late-1990s was a high watermark in terms of Rangers' international status - everyone knew they had serious money to spend - but they are no longer at that level and even if their aspirations extend to a managerial star such as Paul Le Guen it may be that for practical reasons someone such as George Burley emerges as a more realistic appointment." - Michael Grant, Sunday Herald, November 13, 2005 " If it is to the continent that Murray looks, then Paul Le Guen has obvious attractions. Yet, the recent hefty betting on the Frenchman becoming only Rangers' second foreign manager would appear to be money less than well spent. The former Lyon coach, who speaks little English, has already turned down offers from Lazio, Valencia, Monaco, Benfica and Stuttgart. After winning the title in each of his three seasons at Lyon, he is understood to seek a posting where he can forge a lean and hungry side from a small squad of young players on short contracts. That hardly describes Rangers at present. Le Guen is likely to have little enthusiasm for being tasked with a rebuilding job that would require him to move on a clutch of senior players who may prove resistant to leaving their Ibrox comfort zone." - Andrew Smith, Scotland on Sunday, November 13, 2005 " The chemistry of the current Rangers squad is flawed, but a new Rangers manager will not have pots of money to spend on new players. If Paul Le Guen is fully aware of the Rangers situation, he might find the club a deeply unattractive proposition. It is for this reason that some of us believe [David Murray] will unveil an unspectacular name as McLeish's successor." - Graham Spiers, The Herald, December 3, 2005 " Personally, I believe Le Guen's coming to Rangers would be a coup for the club, for David Murray and for Scottish football . . . of that there is no doubt. Some of us, though, will believe it when we see it." - Graham Spiers, The Herald, February 16, 2006 " Eerily, for some Rangers supporters, the name of Paul Le Guen seems to have disappeared from our radars over the past few days. Even Rangers chairman David Murray's favourite media outlets have stopped spouting the Frenchman's name at every turn, which history tells us is usually the first sign that something ominous is afoot. Speaking personally, I am one of many who hope that Le Guen does pitch up at Ibrox, simply for the fascination and drama of having this respected coach around us in Scotland and seeing what he can do. Only a dullard would not feel the thrill of Le Guen coming to Rangers. Yet I am starting to doubt that it will happen. Having watched Murray and his way of doing it at Ibrox for years, there are familiar signs afoot that all might not be well. With every passing day I worry that Le Guen sees better things on his horizon." - Graham Spiers, The Herald, February 21, 2006 " Paul Le Guen's expected move to become manager of Rangers was last night thrown into doubt as it emerged the Frenchman is considering an offer to boss the Cameroon national side. MailSport can reveal the President of Cameroon, Paul Biya, called Le Guen on Friday to make him an attractive proposal to succeed outgoing Lions gaffer Artur Jorge. This latest move appears to be a major threat to Rangers' chances of landing the highly rated Frenchman." - Mark Guidi, Sunday Mail, February 26, 2006 " Rangers' hopes of landing Paul Le Guen could be sunk by a struggle to find a French school for his kids. He had hoped to place them in a Glasgow-based private French school but was stunned to discover the nearest suitable place was in ABERDEEN" - Ewan Smith, Sunday Mail, March 5, 2006 ----------------------------------------------- Cammy F

I can't stand 'scetions' of the TA - not ashamed to say as much. IMO they (the section I don't like) are loathsome creatures who do respect anyone else culture (as France 98 showed and the recent arrest in Germany) and who have an anti-English attitude that is racism (pure and simple). I do wear tartan with pride - however, the See You Jimmy wig is an 'insult' to out national dress IMO. also, kilts are for formal occassions, not football and there is a correct way to wear a kilt. I'll bet 99% of the 'TA' wear it wrongly. We've been here before. There is nothing wrong with it - even the Scots who do it. However, a section of the TA think that acting like this makes them MORE Scottish and those who don't do it, LESS Scottish. I bet the Aussies, Swedes, Dutch etc who do this think NO LESS of those who don't. The TA, use it as a measure of Scottishness rather than a fun way to display your support for your country. I don't think it is - IMO Rangers fans who support Scotland leave their domestic team at home when they follow Scotland (as they should). However, the others don't - how else can you explain the booing of Rangers players by the TA and the 'We Hate Rangers More Than You' chants in Dublin? Oh, if any Rangers fans indulged in the above, they are not Rangers fans IMO. That is the exact attitude I was talking about. If being racist makes the TA one of the best supports in the world, I am glad I stopped following Scotland. Cammy F

So as a Scotsman I can't defend England? As a Scotsman I can't state the obvious problems Scotland has in a footballing sense and in a general sense? Sorry if that doesn't make me a Scotsman in your eyes... Cammy F

Yes, why? A flasher is a flasher is a pervert no matter where they come from... Cammy F

Unbelievable - how do you know this Calscot? Did you question the TA members who boo'ed anthems? The most rediculous thing I've read for a long time Calscot. Thats the 2nd most rediculous thing I have read - I've heard Scots (and English) refer to Spaniards as 'Spicks', Pakistanis as 'Pakis' and Chinese as 'Chinks'. Not to mention the names Scots have for Jews, Muslims and blacks. I have watched Scots (and English) pishing in public abroad, I've seen Scots (and English) abuse locals, I've seen Scots (and English) steal from local shops etc..... In my travels, I have met as many arses from Scotland as I have from England (and other countries). I've also met nice people from all over the world. To say England has a monopoly on idiots is just idiotic. Cammy F Cammy F

I don't make up the German Statute Laws Craig. If flashing your knob is treated as rape in Germany, then maybe the 'fan' should have thought of that before flashing. Neither to be perfectly honest, but if I had me god-sons / god daughter with me, if someone flashed their knob, I'd personally hit them over the head with a fuckin bottle... Cammy F

So a charge of rape and assaulting a policeman (he bit him ffs) should just be put down as a 'drunken' incident? Gribz, the nationality of the woman in question wasn't printed, but after France 98, I'd have thought the TA would have learned their lesson. In some cultures, flashin' you knob is possibely the worst thing you can do. But hey, why should we respect other cultures if it means we can not flash our knobs when we want to, eh? As for me being anti-Scottish that is UTTER PISH - I am as proud as anyone to be Scottish and would never question anyones national pride, unlike some. Its just that I don't think you need to dress up as Russ Abbott and flash your knob at people to make you Scottish. Its just that I realise that Scots are as violent as the English (or Irsih, or Welsh, or German, ot Italian, or Turkish,or South Americans) when it comes to football. 15 deaths at OF games in 10 years says it all really. IMO, The TA are the Tims or international football - they believe they are the best when they aren't (look at the support for the Soth Koreans as an example) and they believe that everyone loves them whilst eveyone hates their greatest rivals. Cammy F

Wasn't aimed at you Gribz, but plenty others 'adopted' T&T tho.. Cammy F

Actually, one for flashing his knob at a child / woman - he *may* face rape charges... Cammy F

So where is your loyalty to the T&T's...... Jeez, as changable as the weather so yous are..... Cammy F

Hey, don't shoot the messanger - it's front page news, so I thought that I'd post it...... Cammy F

So surely the TA are 'ever xenophobic' as well then... Cammy F

Nope, a mixture of English who live and or work up here, some who still reside in England and others who have moved abroad. Never met an English person who has thought like this, or said anything similar. Met a few Americans who did tho.. Yip the World Cup started a few days before, but for England it started on their first game. For me, this UEFA Cup 'starts' when Rangers become involved, not before. Can't see the difference. Just can't see how they are being disrespectful here. They are English and their World Cup was starting then - simple as that really. True, but they didn't - I wouldn't hold it against them for 8 years tho... Cammy F

On the front page of The Sun today ; A member of the tartan army has shown us up over in Germany when he flashed at a woman in a fan camp. When police tried to arrest him he tried to bite them. He was seen flashing his backside and then followed by police and when he sat down with friends his "Manhood" was exposed for all to see. Cammy F

That is the BBC's fault, not the commentators. Off course, for them, the World Cup did start then. It was their countries first game - what else would you expect them to say? Cammy F

Not the English people I know Calscot - like I said, maybe the ones I know are all liars.... As for singing 'Are You Scotland In Disguise' - I think that ist ironic but funny and very inoffensive. Maybe they should copy us and sing 'If You Hate The Fuckin Scottish Clap Your Hands', 'We Hate Archie McPherson, he's a poof, he's a poof', etc instead Cammy F

With many of the TA adopting T&T as their team at the WC, what a dilemma for them tomorrow. Surely as adopted T&T'ians they will be wanting their adopted team / nation to progress to the next round of the WC. For this to happen, England will need to defeat Sweden. So, I fully expect Mr Jhoke McConnell to be on the telly tonight publically declaring his support for England tomorrow to ensure that our adopted friends from T&T get further than we've ever managed.... Cammy F

There was a link on Follow Follow yesterday for the MP3 of this great Rangers song. I looked today for it, but couldn't find it -DOH! Anyway, its worth a look and a download as this is the type of song that we should be promoting and getting reintroduced at Ibrox. Cammy F

The Rangers Chorus Have you seen the Glasgow Rangers Have you seen the boys in blue They're admired by all who know them If you saw them so would you Loved by all they are good sportsmen For their play they top the poll There's a roar that beats old Hampden When they score a winning goal On the slopes of dear old Ibrox Thousands gather for their play And their glorious and victorious When the Rangers win the day They have played way in Monaco They have played in USA But the greatest game in history Is the game on New years day It's the home of famous heroes And their praises have been sung Willie Waddell, Torry Gillick Alan Morton and George Young So when all my life has ended And when death has made it's mark May you scatter all my ashes On the slopes of Ibrox Park And with the Angels I'll be singing Up in heaven in the glen I'll be happy and contented When the Rangers win again On my harp I will be playing In the sky way up above I'll be singing Follow Follow To the Rangers that I love Cammy F
