WALTER SMITH has been asked the same old question time and time again. How far can he take this Rangers team? Only one answer matters now. He has to take them only 21 miles down the M77 to Kilmarnock on Sunday, where an invading army of supporters will follow having readied themselves for an almighty celebration. The Old Firm rivalry is too intense to allow for much in the way of grace or magnanimity. Since they lost to Inverness Caledonian Thistle last week Celtic supporters have confessed to finding it especially hard to accept that defeat surrendered the initiative to such a ââ?¬Å?poorââ?¬Â Rangers team. Thatââ?¬â?¢s been the label attached to Walter Smithââ?¬â?¢s side from the start. This is no vintage Rangers side, that much is obvious. Itââ?¬â?¢s not a team that strikes fear into opponents like many of its predecessors could. Itââ?¬â?¢s short on players who can really entertain, as opposed to being admirable and effective. But Rangers arenââ?¬â?¢t gearing up for a coronation by accident. Hereââ?¬â?¢s where it sounds as though theyââ?¬â?¢re being damned with faint praise: Rangers are resolute. Theyââ?¬â?¢re disciplined and committed. They grind out results. Detractors go as far as to accuse them of anti-football when they go 4-5-1 in the more difficult games. Smith has lived with that since returning to the club in 2007. But what does ââ?¬Ë?grinding out resultsââ?¬â?¢ mean, if not that they tend to prove week after week that they are better than whatever is put in front of them? They have been consistent. If they win at Kilmarnock they will finish the season on 93 points. The last team to do better than that was a Celtic one under Martin Oââ?¬â?¢Neill which included Henrik Larsson, Chris Sutton, John Hartson and a high-calibre supporting cast. Only one Rangers side ââ?¬â?? the Alex McLeish side which won the title on goal difference in 2003 ââ?¬â?? has ever finished on more than 93 since the Scottish Premier League was formed. They won their first nine league games including an Old Firm derby, not tasting defeat until the end of October. In the first half of the season they dropped points in only four games and the same statistic applies to the second half of their campaign, so far. Celtic might privately turn their noses up at this Rangers side and reproach themselves for not having put them away, but the fact remains that Rangers have made few mistakes. They were often behind Celtic, but they had games in hand and always showed the nerve to win them. Before a ball was kicked Smith lost his top goalscorer. Midway through the campaign it happened to him again. Coping without Kris Boyd was manageable because of Smithââ?¬â?¢s last big transfer, the purchase of Nikica Jelavic, but when Kenny Miller fled to Bursaspor in January it seemed that the writing was on the wall. By then Jelavic had been lost to an injury which robbed him of 17 games in his first season in Scotland. Where would the goals come from? Smith has recently felt free to admit that in January he suspected that Rangersââ?¬â?¢ number was up, that they didnââ?¬â?¢t have the resources necessary to sustain a league challenge all the way to the end. Celtic, remember, were maintaining a decent pace themselves and took all six points from the first two Old Firm league games in 2011. His players responded. Rangersââ?¬â?¢ season has been a tale of a dependable back four, a midfield of enormous industry, and one striker whose goals propelled them through the first half of the season and another who got them through the second. ââ?¬Å?Weââ?¬â?¢re a team that defends from the front,ââ?¬Â said goalkeeper Allan McGregor yesterday. ââ?¬Å?Our strikers always work hard to close the ball down, our midfielders work back just as much as they get forward and the lads at the back have been great.ââ?¬Â The defence has kept 18 clean sheets in the league. They havenââ?¬â?¢t conceded an away goal in the championship since a 3-0 defeat at Parkhead almost three months ago. They havenââ?¬â?¢t let one in at all in their last five matches. Itââ?¬â?¢s a unit built on familiarity and trust. Inevitably there have been moments when David Weir has looked his age ââ?¬â?? he turned 41 on Tuesday ââ?¬â?? but his intelligence, awareness and experience has seen him through another fine season. The degree of understanding and unity through the back four is also evident in the team as a whole. No wonder, considering how few changes have been made. Weir, Steven Whittaker and Steven Davis have all appeared in over 50 matches and McGregor, Madjid Bougherra and Sasa Papac are not far behind. The midfield has usually included four from Davis, Steven Naismith, Maurice Edu, Kyle Lafferty and Lee McCulloch. The loss of the latter was one of two grievous injuries which caused Rangers real grief. The other was to Jelavic. The first half of the season belonged to Miller, who had scored 22 times ââ?¬â?? including two at Parkhead as they won the seasonââ?¬â?¢s first derby 3-1 in October ââ?¬â?? before a startling move to Bursaspor. Jelavicââ?¬â?¢s return came just in time for Smith. He was hurt at Tynecastle on October 22 and didnââ?¬â?¢t make it back until being named as an unused substitute on January 15 against Hamilton Academical, the very game in which Miller made what turned out to be his final appearance. Smith needed him to deliver. Rangers had wobbled without their Ã?£4m man. Since returning the Croat grew into the player they hoped they would get for that fee. He has scored 14 times in 20 appearances since returning from an ankle operation, including goals which proved to be the winner in three games. McGregor, Whittaker, Weir, Naismith, Miller and Jelavic have been the cornerstones of a campaign in which they have won more league games than Celtic and scored more goals than them. They have had their setbacks: they lost 3-0 to Hibs at Ibrox, they failed in two out of three attempts to beat Inverness, and they managed only one league win in four Old Firm games. But theyââ?¬â?¢ve been there or thereabouts since day one. How far can Smith take this Rangers team? To within touching distance of one last trophy presentation. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/rangers/how-far-can-rangers-go-it-looks-like-all-the-way-1.1100979

Ah well,all we have to do is win on Sunday

Ah,but you forget about the now famous bottle crashing from the BHEASTS:boogie: Hertz can't play any worse,in fact I'm wondering if they are even trying;)

Oh I'm not worried mate,just preparing myself for what's to come

It's actually really embarrasing now from the ref,a BHEAST just has to fall down and it's a free kick,he's not even trying to hide it.The Transvestite has given away about four free kicks,no booking,a hertz player gets booked for one challenge.They are terrified of the BHEASTS

We've got this cunting ref on Sunday as well!!!

It's a conspiracy I tell ye

I'm sure TLB will demand clarification on why Hertz aren't trying

This again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwbRPnoMHTo

6/1 home win with Willie Hills:boogie: http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/y/5/Football.html

Me thinks there will be a bit of bother down Tynecastle way tonight!!!!

With third place secured after a nervy wait, Hearts manager Jim Jefferies insists his side will still be fired up for the visit of Celtic at Tynecastle tonight. Dundee United's 2-0 defeat by Rangers last night ensured that the Gorgie club qualified for European competition while a home victory in Edinburgh this evening will end Celtic's title hopes and hand the championship to their Glasgow rivals. Hoops boss Neil Lennon criticised Jefferies' men for a lack of competitiveness during a 4-0 reverse against Rangers at the weekend, an accusation that the man in the home dugout tonight says will inspire his team to do their utmost to win. "Well, would it fire you up?" Jefferies asked rhetorically with regards to Lennon's comments. "I'm not going to get into a war of words with Neil, but he's made reference to the last two games being easy for Rangers, and I think that's disrespectful to the players who played on Saturday. The one thing I couldn't accuse them of was effort. Until Rangers got the first goal we looked like the team more likely to score. We didn't have our strongest team available, and they didn't help their cause because they lost their match at Inverness. "What we're more concerned with is (the complaint] that we gave Rangers an easy time. With the players that were available to me, if anybody else had pulled out we'd have had one less on the bench because that's all we had available. Those players gave everything and shouldn't be accused of lying down and not trying. "I'm not trying to beat Celtic to do Rangers a favour - that's what seems to be coming across. We want to do that for ourselves, for our supporters at home. It's the last game (at home]. We didn't go to Ibrox on Saturday to do Celtic a favour. We went there to get the point or win to get the third place." Jefferies pointed to paranoia as the source of Lennon's outburst, saying that had the same persecution complex pervaded the Hearts camp in recent weeks he could have asked all manner of questions of the teams beaten by Dundee United as the Arabs, until their loss at Ibrox last night, maintained pressure on the third-place Jambos. "Have I got any conspiracy theories on Motherwell? They played their strongest team against us a couple of weeks ago (a 3-3 draw] and then go to Dundee United and leave four in the stand (losing 4-0]. Quite rightly, they're preparing for a cup final and they're trying to manage their squad. We never complained about that. They played a lesser side against (a team] challenging us for third place." Jefferies expects to be able to welcome back Marian Kello and Marius Zaliukas tonight. The first-choice goalkeeper and the club's Player of the Year has been deprived of first-team action due to an unresolved "private matter", while Zaliukas was controversially omitted from Saturday's squad to face Rangers by Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov, who cited the reason that match official Iain Brines would be likely to send off the centre back. Kello is likely to replace Jamie MacDonald between the posts, with Jefferies delighted at the prospect of the return of the Slovakian, who has enjoyed international recognition and plaudits for his SPL performances this season. "It can't drag on," said Jefferies of Kello's absence. "I think it's at the stage now where it will be resolved and I think this would be the time to put it to bed and get him available. It's no reflection on Jamie MacDonald, who has done fantastically well. He knows that whenever Marian is clear to play (he will start]. Hopefully before the game we can get (the situation] sorted out." Meanwhile, the Tynecastle supremo was keen to set the record straight on rumours from the weekend that he had parted company with Hearts in the aftermath of Romanov intervening in team selection. Jefferies accepts that his current role is carried out in an environment alien to most other managers in the country and he insists he has learned to expect - and accept - the unexpected. "I don't get upset about it - what I do is just put the record straight. The fact I was (at Rugby Park to watch Kilmarnock take on Celtic] on Sunday night quashed any rumours. I will continue in the job and if I ever get into that situation (again] I'll manage it differently," said Jefferies who added that he was unsure about whether or not Romanov would continue to have a say in matters of team selection. "They work differently to other clubs - that's their prerogative," continued Jefferies. "It was the right job at the right time and it was a situation where you try and work through it. The club has given their reasons. "I thought about it, and the decision is that that's one thing that I'll learn from and handle differently if it ever happens again. It's up to me, how I handle that situation, if it happens again. It's never ever been a problem for me up until Saturday because we were a little bit short. He's given his reasons for passing that message." http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/Jefferies-has-a-point-to.6766377.jp?articlepage=2

A Celtic fan who made monkey gestures towards Rangers player El Hadji Diouf during an Old Firm game has been jailed for three months. Sean Smith, 19, from Spittal, South Lanarkshire, taunted the West African striker as he took a corner kick at Celtic Park on 20 February. He admitted committing a racially aggravated breach of the peace after being reported by fellow Celtic fans. Smith was also banned from attending football matches for five years. Sentencing him at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Sheriff Lindsay Wood told Smith he had pleaded guilty to "despicable racist behaviour". "You thought you were making a fool of the player but you were actually making a fool of yourself. Continue reading the main story ââ?¬Å?Start Quote I can see no alternative to a custodial sentence to mark the court's disapproval of such behaviourââ?¬Â End Quote Sheriff Lindsay Wood "You have brought shame on the club you support and on Scottish football generally." Sheriff Wood noted that Smith had been drinking before the game, but said this was "no way to go to a football match and appreciate it". He added: "I have to look at these matters in the context of an Old Firm match where tensions are running high and I can see no alternative to a custodial sentence to mark the court's disapproval of such behaviour." Defence lawyer Raymond McIlwham told the court that his client has received death threats as a result of what he did. He also added that Diouf has a bad relationship with Celtic fans. Mr McIlwham said: "The relationship between the player involved and the Celtic fans has been a difficult one. "That in no way excuses Mr Smith's actions but it's conceivable that another player may not have roused that level of passion in a supporter." The lawyer added that his client is ashamed and now "deeply regrets" what he did. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-13361478

KILMARNOCK have warned Rangers supporters they could be thrown out of their club's potential title-clinching match at Rugby Park on Sunday if they are found to have purchased a ticket for the home sections of the stadium. Last night's victory over Dundee United at Ibrox means they could secure the title at Kilmarnock assuming Celtic do not succumb to defeat at Hearts in Edinburgh tonight. The Ayrshire club yesterday announced that the match is a sell-out, apart from corporate packages priced at �£180 each. Rangers received an allocation of 9,200 tickets, priced at �£25 for adults, for the Moffat and Chadwick Stands behind the goals. The remaining tickets, for the Main and West Stands, are intended only for home supporters. Kilmarnock's average attendance this season is fewer than 6,000, making it appear improbable their fans have snapped up all of the remaining tickets. The capacity of Rugby Park is 18,128 but their highest attendance of the season so far was the 10,177 at Rangers' previous SPL visit to the ground back in November. There are clearly concerns at the number of Rangers fans who have bought tickets for the home section of the stadium, prompting Kilmarnock to issue a statement on their official website outlining the action which will be taken against any away supporters uncovered on Sunday. "No person wearing or carrying anything signifying support for Rangers FC will be allowed entry to designated "home support" areas, whether in possession of a valid match ticket or not," read the statement. "Any person who enters a designated "home support" area and openly displays support for Rangers FC will be warned as to their conduct or ejected without re-admission or refund, at the discretion of Strathclyde Police, G4S stewards or Kilmarnock FC officials. Do not purchase a ticket for a designated "home support" area unless you are a supporter of Kilmarnock FC and will behave accordingly at the match."
