Terrible defending again although the defenders were not really to blame totally as the trouble started in the midfield. We really need a new keeper. Foderingham is a car crash, and should have had his front post covered at the goal. What he was doing trying take the ball on his thigh with the striker zooming in I will never know. It was a horrible ball back from Kiernan though.

BT sport extra1. Good interview with him but would not commit to say he would definitely be at Ibrox next season. Came away with some crap about knowing your market and talking about banks. He did say he was still fully focused on Rangers though.

Thanks mate.

Okay got i tBT sports extra.

What channel is the game on?

His first touch has improved dramatically under Warburton. (Oh that sounds strange.)

Is he not quoting what the Chief of police from that time. He said that the fans were still to blame aithough the police did make mistakes.

I hate to say this but it is lovely here. The sun was even warm at 8.00am this morning. I will watch the game and later getting the old Barbeque going. Temperature is to go above 20 degrees this week.

He will be linked to every job that comes free I suppose. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/rangers/7118999/Toffees-eye-WarburtonGers-boss-target.html

I can't see the club saying to anyone " CG is coming and we are paying the bill" Someone somewhere has added 1+1 and got 3. Willingly or unwillingly.

I think I am right in saying it is now in German law that supporters must own 51% of the club. DB will know better than me but I am sure he has confirmed it before.

Waghorn to start by the looks of it,

Rangers-mad five year old sent home from school for having blue hair

I now live just over the border in Germany but still consider my life to be Dutch. I personally while I love Scotland don't see me ever returning to live there. My personal opinion would be that Britain would be better as an EU member as I think if two companies had similar products an EU member would buy from within the EU and not a company outwith the EU. I think some in Britain want their cake and eat it at the same time. I personally will not be affected as I already have Dutch nationality, speak Dutch fluently and I am slowly picking up German. I will survive here whether Britain are in or out. The only change for me in the future could be to move back to Holland and not Scotland. I like living in Germany but compared to Holland they live in the middle ages as well. And as for that Hard working precision German workmanship forget it is my experience and what most Dutch people around me think is that their tradesmen are poor and unreliable. -
I am getting a bit confused. The reason for having a powerful fan group was to have a more transparent and better relationship with the club. As soon as the club has contact with the supporters groups many are shouting about the independence of the group. Surely you can't have a working relationship if it doesn't go both ways.

I guess I am more liberalised by living in Holland so long. I even find school uniforms Victorians. Putting on suits and black ties for funerals is another thing I find outdated. Do I show less respect wearing tidy denims and ordinary Jacket? I don't think so but as I say that is the Dutch part that has grown in me. -
It sounds if it was more of a recommendation of the club.

Auld fuddy duddy! There are millions of things we can ask WHY that are way worse than this. Why do people put screws in their back to hang themselves up on? Why would anyone have a Prins Albert piercing. I find this pretty mild and don't see what the commotion is all about. You see Kids everywhere with coloured hair. I remember a number of years ago my wife had a shampoo to give your hair an auburn tint. I thought that it was a good idea and started using it. My hair turned purple. I was walking about for weeks with purple hair. -

Are girls allowed to have colours through their hair.? Have colours always been banned? Is it in the school rules that coloured hair is not allowed. Is it just a Rangers thing? If it was my kid and he was sent home from school I would be wanting to know these things. If the answer was that he was being treated differently than other kids then I would be taking it to a higher level. The school could have had a quiet word with his mother and indeed all mothers that coloured hair is a distraction and was preferably not worn(?) at school. They could have let him stay at school for that day and come the next day with normal hair.After a 1\2 hour the commotion would have died down. -
We also had no chance of reaching the cup final. I love when other teams underrate us,

Two wrongs don't make a right and the original cover-up set the trend. It would not be a cover-up for the next government they would just not be chasing the truth, the cover-up had already taken place.

Ibrox before the disaster was also literally a disaster waiting to happen. I walked those stairs many times with my father. Luckily for me I was only allowed to go to the disaster game because I could use my uncle's season ticket for the main stand and go with my older cousin. While on the stairs my father always used to tell me to keep my arms crossed in front of my chest. I was a small boy whose head probably just reached about the waist or just above of the person in front so I could see nothing. You just tried to feel for the stairs and judge when to step down. Regularly the pressure became unbearable and shouts went up to try and stop people entering the queue at the top of the stairs to ease the pressure. As someone who has worked as a Safety officer I often wonder who the hell issued safety documents for Ibrox in those days, maybe these people should also be looked at in the same light as the Hillsborough disaster and be open for criminal negligence that cost 66 lives. I also stood at Ibrox on cold winter nights in a ghostly Ibrox in the middle\late 70's when +-15.000 supporters turned up to watch dreadful football. I remember supporters then complaining about not spending money on players but Mr Wadell insisted the building of a new Ibrox was his main objective and that an Ibrox disaster should never be possible again. Thankfully to his his insight and persistence Ibrox became one of the safest stadiums in the world. Hopefully it will be kept that way as yesterdays safe is not always safe at all. Stadium safety has improved drastically but there is no room for complacency or taking things for granted.

If we now bring players in that are not cup-tied, could we play them?

I agree that now there is no real pressure psychologically you start to decline. You don't want to but it happens to almost everyone. Our defending problem has not just arisen from winning the league though. My old boss used to say after a new employee has settled in expect10- 20% less productive work. I suppose that is the same sort of effect.

I think it is easy to point out Livingstone's strong points but As Warburton says it is about us. For me the biggest thing is the defending of Danny Wilson. What the hell has happened to that guy? In fact I am wrong it is not about the defending of Wilson it is about the not defending of Wilson. Players seem to be able to walk past him. At set pieces he is a nightmare. Unless he has a 100% improvement I don't see him having a long future with us in the SPL. I know it looks great for the statistics to have 70% possession but sometimes I wish we would give the other team some possession with players like McKay and O'Halloran we could also be deadly on the break. Hopefully SPL teams will not sit so deep while defending but I fear they will

Manager of the year nominees: McIntyre, Warburton, Houston & McInally

Funny enough if Hibs get the second place prize-money and win their 2 play-off rounds They will have had 2 extra home gates. If they then win the cup with it's financial dividends then they could say they have had a better year than Rangers. Certainly financially
