  15. ALLY McCOIST admits he'd never have dreamed of being Rangers manager when he hung up his boots to become a telly celebrity. Now the Ibrox gaffer-in-waiting believes he has finally shed the cheeky chappie image that made him a star on Question of Sport - and feels ready to defy the cynics who don't think he has the experience to succeed Walter Smith. In an interview to be broadcast on ESPN, McCoist said: "If you had said to me 10-15 years ago I'd have the opportunity to manage this club I would have thought you were mad. Absolutely no way. "Fifteen years ago I probably started doing my badges and before that I wouldn't have thought I would have stayed in the game. "Then you realise how much it means to you and how important it is to you. You take your coaches badges and enjoy your coaching. "It's been quite a long journey to get here - it's not the most orthodox way of getting in to management - and when you put it like that it's a lot of madness and great fun. "The different stages of my life have been wonderful experiences. I've always said playing football was the best thing I could ever do and this is the next best thing. "I was lucky to be on the other side of the camera as well, going to Champions League matches and finals was wonderful. "But playing is the best and coaching and management second best. I have been very fortunate." The happy-go-lucky persona that made him such a natural in front of the camera could have been his downfall when it came to being taken seriously by a dressing room seeking leadership. But there has always been a steely undercurrent that drove McCoist to become the club's greatest goalscorer. Anyone still under any illusions about McCoist's ability to go toe toe with a rival need only look at the notorious touchline bust-up with Celtic boss Neil Lennon at the end of the Scottish Cup replay at Parkhead in March. But McCoist shrugs off both the misconception about his cheeky chappie image and the controversy surrounding the spat that saw both clubs hauled before the Scottish government. He said: "Neil and I are absolutely fine. The best way to describe it is we have a healthy respect for each other and we know the difficulty of the jobs involved. "We speak after the game, have a bottle of beer and a glass of wine, that's the way it should be and will always be. "There has been a lot written and said because we had a little fallout - I fallout with the missus every day. It's pathetic. You saw what happened in the Barcelona v Real Madrid game. "Neil and I would have got six months if that was us! In comparison ours was pretty tame. There is certainly no problem with Neil and myself. "The cheeky image doesn't bother me because to a certain degree I've made my bed with the chatshow and Question of Sport so you don't knock it, it was magic fun. "I think anybody who knows me and even the vast majority who don't would appreciate football after my family is the most important thing in my life and I want to do well. "You don't succeed if you're not dedicated and true to what you want to do and I'm certainly that about football. "I'm 48 now and have been involved in the game a long time. I'd like to think I certainly know the club, having played here for 15 years and I have been back with Walter for four-and-a-half years. "I was also with Walter in the national team so I don't think anything is going to happen that will shock me. "I don't underestimate the task, that's for sure. I feel I'm really ready for it." So ready that McCoist has already begun to beef up his backroom staff with former team-mates John Brown and Neil Murray recruited to his scouting network plus, of course, his assistants Kenny McDowall and Ian Durrant. But no matter how many trusted lieutenants he has McCoist admits his greatest advisor and confidante will always be the mentor he is preparing to replace this summer. He added: "Without doubt, I'll have Walter on speed-dial. I make no apology for the fact that man will be getting phoned twice, three times a week. "But I have assembled my own coaching team. We've got Neil and John in the scouting department and very good they are too. I have worked with them a long time and know them well. "It's important we have a good squad outwith the playing staff and that's why we have appointed these two guys because we've got the utmost respect and faith in them to do their job. "I've known Ian for 100 years and Kenny a lot longer than people would think. "They are good people, they know their jobs well and we've all got that in common. We hope to do well." Slovak superkid Vladimir Weiss will NOT be back at Rangers next season, says his father. Vladimir Senior, who is manager of Slovakia, admitted Man City are unlikely to find a place in their team for the winger but ruled out another loan deal with the Ibrox club. He said: "Our priority is Spain - I want to send Vladimir to a strong European league. We may also consider Italy or Germany. He's had about 10 enquiries." http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2011/05/04/ally-mccoist-i-m-ready-to-take-over-as-boss-of-rangers-but-walter-smith-will-be-on-speed-dial-86908-23106241/
  16. May 4 2011 Keith Jackson CRAIG WHYTE Rangers takeover suffered another setback last night when chairman Alastair Johnston revealed the board of directors are still not satisfied he has the cash to move the club forward. Johnston spoke to Record Sport 24 hours after director Paul Murray, who has put together a rival buy-out bid, begged Sir David Murray NOT to hand Whyte, left, the keys to Ibrox. Whyte's camp remain adamant their man will be in charge before the end of this week but Murray believes his proposal, which would see �£25 million ploughed into the squad this summer, will safeguard the long-term future of the club. And now Johnston seems determined to stall Whyte and give legal experts more time to investigate his financial clout. Johnston said: "As chairman of the committee I must remain objective and judicious. What I can say is the board have not, at this point in time, rejected Craig Whyte's proposal. "We are working through an overwhelmingly complicated series of due diligence, much more complicated than meets the eye. There is a lot going on behind the scenes. "I'm sure fans understand, we have to do the right thing." Record Sport understands Murray's proposed share issue has been underwritten entirely by one wealthy backer but his plan would see more rich Rangers fans brought in as investors to form a credible consortium of money men. Murray fears the Whyte bid is loaded in favour of Lloyds bank, who would stand to wipe out �£18m worth of debt and be free of the HMRC tax case, which could land Rangers with a bill in excess of �£40m. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/2011/05/04/alastair-johnston-admits-craig-whyte-bid-to-buy-rangers-is-more-complicated-than-meets-the-eye-86908-23106092/
  17. RANGERS supporters clubs are urging their members to clean up their act and take action among themselves to deal with sectarian singing. Delegates from over 80 Rangers supporters clubs, who met in Glasgow at the weekend, said "self-policing" was the most effective way of getting the message across to the "minority" of fans they said were damaging the club's reputation. They cited the Show Racism the Red Card campaign dealing with racism in football as the type of action which could be adopted. The clubs claim such a strategy could be used in conjunction with the range of measures already taken by the football club itself, such as using CCTV cameras to identify, arrest and eject fans guilty of sectarian singing and removing season tickets from offending fans. But critics maintain that the large number of fans involved in sectarian singing mitigates against "arresting your way out of the problem" and said the club should do more to remove season tickets from offenders. However, while the fans' initiative was welcomed by anti-sectarian campaigners and Rangers, a spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland said there was a danger of portraying sectarianism as a problem solely associated with football. The "self-policing" initiative follows a decision by Uefa, European football's governing body, to fine Rangers and ban fans from attending their next away game in Europe after finding them guilty of discriminatory behaviour. The action relates to both legs of Rangers' Europa League tie against PSV Eindhoven in March in which there were accusations made that a number of fans sang sectarian songs. Rangers were ordered to pay �£35,652 in addition to the away ban, while a second veto on travelling fans, an order to play a home match behind closed doors and a further 40,000 euros fine were suspended for three years. A statement released following the meeting at the weekend which included representatives from board members of the Rangers Assembly, the Rangers Supporters Trust, (RST) and the Rangers Supporters Association, read: "It was agreed that any songs with references to sectarian chanting as outlined by the police and the courts must go now and remain gone. "We accepted that there is still a problem amongst a minority of our support, and while we are certainly not the only club with an offensive singing problem, we are the only ones being highlighted at present and whilst we need to clean up our own act we insist all supports must be treated the same." A spokesman for the RST said: "We intend to look at the strategies other football clubs have used to deal with issues. "For example, racism was addressed by involving the players, the managers, the fans, having messages on the programmes and educational outreach work. "But we also need an attitude change to create an environment that it is unacceptable to sing sectarian songs. "We don't have sectarian ghettoes in Glasgow and we want to get across to fans that they need to behave in the same way at matches as they do in their own communities or workplace. "If anyone came out with songs like that at work they'd soon have their P45, and that's the way it should be at football matches too." The spokesman added: "But Rangers fans can only do so much. What we need is a more honest debate about what sectarianism is all about." A spokesman for Nil By Mouth, Scotland's biggest anti-sectarianism charity, said: "This is an important step in the campaign to eradicate the scourge of sectarianism from Scotland. "It is absolutely right that people acknowledge there is a serious problem which must be dealt with immediately and self-policing is one of a range of effective measures to confront and tackle the issue. Sectarian chanting in any public forum is against the law and Nil By Mouth urges supporters of every football club to face up to and challenge this societal menace." A Rangers spokesperson commented: "We welcome all initiatives to help eradicate sectarian singing at matches and the commitments from the supporters' meeting demonstrate that the vast majority of our fans understand the situation." A spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police said: "Sectarian behaviour is unacceptable at any football match and will not be tolerated by Strathclyde Police." However Peter Kearney, director of the Roman Catholic Media Office in Scotland, said there was a need to look at the wider context of a problem which had existed in Scotland for hundreds of years "What happens at football in Scotland is a symptom of sectarianism, not the cause. "If we use the behaviour of fans as a barometer of this problem then a period of improved behaviour could mistakenly lead us to believe the problem was solved. "In reality the problem of sectarianism is a much wider and deeper problem in Scotland than that of the behaviour of football fans." A spokesman for the Celtic Supporters' Affiliation said: "We do not wish to comment on the decision taken by the Rangers' supporters clubs as it has nothing whatsoever to do with us." http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Rangers-fans-39to-police-themselves39.6762118.jp?articlepage=2
  18. Trial by youtube:) Ivan Trickovski Goals
  19. ALLY McCOIST is preparing a summer swoop for Macedonia striker Ivan Trickovski. The 24-year-old hitman stars for APOEL in the Cypriot league. Rangers hope to lure him to Ibrox in a �£1.5million move. The deal could hinge on Craig Whyte's long-awaited Gers takeover being completed. Trickovski is one of the key men McCoist wants if he's handed a �£10m transfer war chest The Gers boss in waiting has a long list of potential targets depending on how much cashhe From Back Page has at his disposal and he has been given glowing scouting reports on the goalscorer. He now hopes to sign him up to play alongside Nikica Jelavic next season. Trickovski has earned rave reviews for his performances for APOEL. He scored 11 goals in 25 appearances to win the championship. Trickovski has also been a huge hit for the Macedonia national side - scoring three times in just ten appearances. Belgian club Lokeren made a �£1m bid for him in January but APOEL refused to do business as they were still battling for the title. However, it now looks unlikely that they will be able to keep hold of the highly-rated attacker. Trickovski has also played for Red Star Belgrade after leaving first club FK Rabotnicki in Macedonia. He could be tempted to move to the UK - with McCoist keen to swoop. Meanwhile, Gers chairman Alastair Johnston last night denied Whyte's bid was about to be booted into touch. He said: "As chairman of the club I must remain objective and judicious. What I can say is the board have not, at this point in time, rejected Craig Whyte's proposal. "We are working through an over- whelmingly complicated series of due diligence, much more complicated than meets the eye. There is a lot going on behind the scenes." Rival bidder Paul Murray was last night branded an 'irrelevance' by the Whyte camp. Ibrox director Murray hit out at Whyte's bid - and urged Sir David Murray to knock back the �£35m deal. A Whyte source said: "Paul Murray is an irrelevance, a sideshow. "He does not have a deal on the table and he does not even have proof of funding. "He has been asking for honesty for the supporters but why then will he not say which businessman is going to fund any deal? "Also, where was Paul Murray and where were these unnamed people when the club was in trouble?"
