That tackle was outstanding mate,and he probably deserves MOTM for that alone,but Bocanegra is like a younger SDOW and he does cover Goian a lot which is ok as that is what a partnership is all about. I'll stick with Bocanegra for MOTM for me though:thup:

Whittaker had a good game,particularly in the second half,but for me Bocanegra was solid,assured and he was my MOTM

Rangers are celebrating an awards double after Ally McCoist and Steven Davis notched up the SPL manager and player awards for September respectively. McCoist has steered the defending SPL champions to a nine-point lead at the top of the table. Rangers opened the month with an away win against Dundee United and followed it up with a 4-2 Old Firm victory. Davis has also impressed in wins over Dunfermline and Kilmarnock. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15307172.stm

Former Rangers director Donald McIntyre has launched a legal bid to have £300,000 of the club's assets frozen pending a breach of contract case. Lawyers acting for the former finance director made the application at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. It was heard by Lord Hodge, who last month ring-fenced £480,000 over a case by former chief executive Martin Bain. During that hearing, the judge said Rangers were at "risk of insolvency" over tax claims against the club. Mr McIntyre resigned as Rangers' finance director earlier this week - five months after being suspended, along with Mr Bain, by the Scottish champions. Tax claims He took the decision to resign over his exclusion from matters of corporate governance. Mr Bain launched a legal action against Rangers last month for breach of contract. The club is contesting the action and has lodged a counter claim against him for damages alleging breach of fiduciary duty, which he denies. During Mr Bain's move to freeze assets at Rangers, ahead of his case being heard, Lord Hodge was told that the club was facing two tax claims. One was for £2.8m, while the other was for £49m - comprising £35m of tax and a further £14m in interest and penalties, which is under appeal. In granting Mr Bain an arrestment for £480,000, Lord Hodge said: "I am satisfied that there is a real and substantial risk of insolvency if the tax appeal were to be decided against Rangers." Mr McIntyre is bidding to secure an arrestment in his case for £300,000 - the same sum he is seeking from Rangers. The Ibrox club was not represented at the hearing and the motion, which was heard with the press excluded from proceedings, was continued until next week. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-15292896

Wednesday, 12 October 2011 14:09 Earlier this week members of the RST Board met with James Kelly MSP. Mr Kelly is the deputy convener of the Scottish Parliamentâ??s Justice Committee which is considering the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill. Mr Kelly and all the non-SNP members of the Justice Committee voted against the Bill citing concerns over free expression being curtailed. The RST put forward the view that the Bill should be voted down in itâ??s entirety as it is flawed and in any case every offence raised in it already exists under Scots Law and the sentencing provisions are draconian but already available to the courts. Mr Kelly is continuing to consult other fans groups and interested parties to help formulate Labour Party policy with regard to the progress of the Bill through the Parliament. The Rangers Supporter Trust asks that itâ??s members and football fans in general oppose the Bill and make their feeling known to their MSPs. If youâ??d like to contribute your thoughts to the Trust please email us - rstinfo@rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk You can find details of your local MSPs on this website - http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/msps/177.aspx The Take A Liberty Scotland website has a great range of information about the campaign against the Bill on their website - http://takealiberty.blogspot.com/ http://www.rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk/rstsite/latest-rst-news/397-rst-meet-with-james-kelly-msp

CELTIC are closing in on a stunning swoop for James McFadden. Record Sport can reveal the Scotland star and his representatives have held talks with Parkhead powerbrokers in the past 48 hours. It's understood all parties are happy with the way negotiations are progressing and a highly lucrative deal could be tied up today for the 28-year-old striker. Celtic McFadden has been out of football since the summer when his contract expired at Birmingham City. They didn't renew his deal after he injured his cruciate ligament last season. But he has now fully recovered and has received offers from Everton, Wolves and West Ham. However, he does favour a move back to Scotland and the chance to play for his boyhood heroes suits him perfectly. Hoops gaffer Neil Lennon is desperate to land Faddy to boost his squad as they bid to try and catch up on Rangers' 10-point lead at the top of the table. If the McFadden deal is clinched today, it will be the ideal gift for the frustrated Celtic supporters as they head along to Parkhead tomorrow for the club's AGM. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/2011/10/13/celtic-close-in-on-swoop-for-scotland-star-james-mcfadden-86908-23485447/

Aye,if Wilson can get game time & Webster can stay fit then I'd have they two in.But Scotland do have a severe lack of choices for CB.

Aye,but Wilson can't get enough first team football,and well Webster gets injured going for a piss!!

I do feel for Levein on one thing,having Heid & Berra as the best CB available to Scotland,I really can't think of anybody else for CB

STEVEN THOMPSON ticked every box when he was at Rangers. Hitman Thompson was signed by Alex McLeish from Dundee United in 2003 for £200,000 and won it all domestically. Now he returns to Ibrox on Saturday for the first time since leaving in January 2006 with St Mirren. The 32-year-old is desperate to show Gers fans he still has what it takes. Thompson said: "This will be my first time back at Ibrox and I am really looking forward to it. "I had wonderful times there and they are memories I will treasure for the rest of my life. "I won league titles and cups â?? just the whole experience of playing at Rangers was a brilliant one. "It was a bit surreal at times, but I am very privileged to have played there. "It will be nice to see some old faces at Ibrox like wee Tiny up in the kitchens. It will be nostalgic going back. "I achieved everything I wanted there. I won the SPL, the Scottish Cup and the League Cup. "I scored in an Old Firm game, scored in the Champions League and scored in the UEFA Cup. It isn't until you leave Rangers though, you realise how much you were spoiled. Everything is on a plate for you there. "It is not often you get to go from Rangers to a club with a bigger set up." Thommo was in sizzling form in 2003 and had broken into the Scotland national team the year before. That resulted in Rangers snapping him up with Billy Dodds heading the other way to Tannadice. He added: "Things were going very well for me at United and I had been playing for Scotland as well. "I was on a hot streak at the time with some goals at the start of the season and my contract was up the following summer. "United wanted me to sign a new deal, but I was stalling on it knowing things were quite good for me at the time. "When I heard Rangers had come in, I just wanted to get the deal done. "It was all a bit of a whirlwind, one minute I was playing for United, the next I was getting changed beside Ronald de Boer. We also had the likes of Frank de Boer, Mikel Arteta, Claudio Caniggia, Michael Mols, Shota Arveladze and Arthur Numan. "I can remember it being an incredible dressing room at the time. I can also remember being quite intimidated for the first few weeks, but that quickly went. "It was a wonderful time, but as you get older you look back thinking maybe you didn't appreciate it as much at the time. "Now I can look back at all my memorabilia â?? my strips, newspaper cuttings and videos. "It was great to have been at Rangers, but now I am going there as a St Mirren player and I want to do well." Thommo never got a fair crack of the whip at Gers with a couple of injuries preventing an extended run in the side. The most notable setback was when he tore his knee ligament in September 2003, keeping him on the sidelines for five months. He said: "I was in and out of the team and my knee injury didn't help. "I also had an ankle injury in a game against Celtic which forced me out. "When I came back from doing my knee in, I had a good spell and scored a few goals." When Thompson entered the last year of his contract, boss McLeish told him he could leave and he was quickly snapped up by Cardiff in January 2006. Thommo added: "Alex McLeish told me my contract wasn't getting renewed in August 2005. "He had maybe expected me to stay until the following summer when my contract ran out, but Kris Boyd was on his way and there was already competition for places up front. "I asked my agent to see what was out there and then Cardiff came in. "I was upset to leave Rangers, but at that point in my career it was time to go to another club. I played in the Championship for over five years with Cardiff, then Burnley, and it was a great experience. "It wasn't my best spell in terms of success but I don't look back with any regrets." Saints face a dauunting task against a rampant Gers side who have won their last nine SPL games. Thompson said: "It will be a difficult task. "I can remember going to Ibrox with United and it was always very tough. "Rangers are in terrific form right now, but we will go with an attitude that we have nothing to lose and there is no point just sitting back."

Published on Tuesday 11 October 2011 23:59 PROGRESS, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary, is “development towards an improved or more advanced condition”. According to Craig Levein, it is what Scotland have achieved under his guidance during the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign. But this morning, Scotland find themselves in a place which looks and feels depressingly familiar. Third place in Group I, with just three wins from the eight matches played, can hardly be regarded as firm evidence of the kind of improvement and advancement suggested by the manager. George Burley also oversaw three victories from eight games during the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign as Scotland limped to a third place finish in their group behind Netherlands and Norway. In trailing behind Spain and the Czech Republic this time around, albeit with a point more than two years ago, Levein can scarcely be said to have done significantly better than his predecessor. Like Burley, he went into the last match of the campaign hoping for an unlikely victory against the top seeded nation in the group to salvage a place in the play-offs. Last night’s 3-1 defeat in Spain was no less surprising and no more deserving of criticism than the 1-0 Hampden loss suffered against the Dutch. Scotland were predictably outclassed by the world champions who have dissected the defences of far better teams in the manner they did with David Silva’s superbly struck double and David Villa’s equally deadly finish. But although it took until the finale of Group I for Czech Republic to confirm their presence in tomorrow’s play-off draw in Krakow at Scotland’s expense, the most telling damage was sustained at the outset. In dropping five points from their first three games, Scotland were left playing a game of catch-up which was always likely to prove beyond them. Levein’s assertion that he “didn’t know the players” at his disposal well enough, or what system to deploy them in, during those opening assignments is more than a little bewildering. One of his staunchest defenders in the media even offered the curious view recently that had the SFA dispensed with Burley’s services sooner, rather than allowing him to oversee the friendly defeats against Japan and Wales in autumn 2009, then Levein would have been better able to lay the foundations for a successful Euro 2012 campaign. But Levein, appointed on 23 December 2009, had more than eight months to prepare for the task ahead. Notwithstanding his own decision to play just two friendly matches in that time, the 1-0 defeat of the Czechs at Hampden in March 2010 and the somewhat shambolic 3-0 defeat in Sweden five months later, it is difficult to credit he was so uncertain of his squad’s capabilities when Group I got underway. It was not, after all, as if he radically reshaped the pool of players used by Burley in the previous qualification campaign. Seven of Levein’s starting line-up in Alicante last night were all regulars under his predecessor – Allan McGregor, Alan Hutton, Gary Caldwell, Christophe Berra, Darren Fletcher, James Morrison and Steven Naismith. But for injury, two more of Burley’s mainstays, Scott Brown and Kenny Miller, would also have been named by Levein against Spain. The qualities of all of those players, their strengths and weaknesses, have surely been apparent to anyone involved in coaching or management at the higher echelons of Scottish football for several years now. It is why Levein’s lack of boldness at the start of the Group I journey constitutes such a lingering stain on his tenure. The insipid 0-0 draw against Lithuania in Kaunas was the first evidence of the lack of conviction which underpinned his almost universally derided decision to deploy the cringeworthy 4-6-0 formation in Prague the following month. The powerful sense that the 1-0 defeat against a demonstrably mediocre Czech side would haunt the Scots has proved correct. Levein, who remains defiant in his belief the tactics used in Prague were justifiable, will instead point to last month’s 2-2 draw at home to the Czechs as the pivotal stage of the campaign. Jan Rezek’s double for Michal Bilek’s side in their 4-1 win against Lithuania in Kaunas last night would only stoke the sense of injustice burning within Levein who felt the striker should have been serving a suspension for his act of simulation which earned the penalty at Hampden which denied Scotland victory. Dutch referee Kevin Blom, who also refused Scotland a stoppage time spot-kick in similar circumstances when Christophe Berra tumbled theatrically at the other end, is another convenient scapegoat which it comes to apportioning blame for failure to progress to next summer’s finals in Poland and Ukraine. When the action kicks off in Warsaw on 8 June, Scotland will be on the outside looking in for a seventh successive major finals. While many Tartan Army foot soldiers will still be cursing Rezek and Blom, there is an equally sizeable contingent who consider Levein just as culpable for the national team’s latest disappointment. The trio of wins yielded from his first campaign were all achieved by a single goal margin. Two of them were against tiny Liechtenstein, the first in excruciating fashion at Hampden with a 97th minute winner; the other at home to a low-grade Lithuania. Ahead of a 2014 World Cup qualifying group which sees Scotland pitted against Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, Macedonia and Wales, Levein’s definition of progress, which he described as “enormous improvement” last night, is not easy to share. http://www.scotsman.com/sport/stephen_halliday_levein_s_cry_of_progress_bears_little_hard_evidence_1_1904073

About 27 minutes in http://www.clyde1.com/on-air/ssb-listen-again/ :tongue:

I was going to add that mate,but I don't think we will qualify for the play offs so didn't bother.

I can't see Lithuania beating the Czechs,and I can't see us avoiding defeat.We have had chances to qualify from this group before this final game and blew it,even the home game against Spain when we should have held out for the draw but failed to even do that.Our only hope is for Lithuania to win,but the Czechs know if they win they qualify,Lithuania have nothing to play for so I just can't see anything other than a Czech win. Having said all that I'll be watching the game and hoping for a miracle.
