If you don't take the proper precautions and a match gets called off, you lose the 3 points.

All joking aside,it's just another example of the inept SFA that this has taken so long to deal with,yet Shagger gets his hand delivered while away playing for the national team!!!

CALL me an old Eurosceptic if you want to, but there is a real danger of Rangers repeating their mistakes of 2008 and missing out on the two big prizes again. http://leggoland2.blogspot.com/2010/12/euro-run-spells-danger-again.html

Aye,this season after our CL games we were away from home,whatever we win we win it without any help from anybody, tis a conspiracy I tell ye

If Hertz win today then they move into equal 2nd I believe:sneaky:

RANGERS are unhappy with the Clydesdale Bank Premier League for scheduling an Old Firm game between the two ties in the last 32 of the Europa League. They were drawn against Sporting Lisbon yesterday and now face a pivotal eight days in February which will be hugely significant in their pursuit of four trophies. Rangers realised weeks ago that if they made it through to the Europa League their first ties in 2011 would come either side of the third league game against Celtic this season. Now they know exactly what is being demanded of them as they face Sporting at Ibrox on Thursday February 17, go to Parkhead at lunchtime on Sunday 20, and are then in Portugal for the second leg on February 24. Rangers have been unhappy with the scheduling since the SPL announced its league dates months ago, even before they knew it would definitely affect them. Privately the clubââ?¬â?¢s view is that the derby should have been scheduled away from the European dates. The UEFA draw in Nyon, Switzerland, also paired Rangers with either Lille or PSV Eindhoven in the last 16 if they were to make it past the Portuguese, who have former Rangers man Pedro Mendes in their squad. Currently, they are third in the league, 12 points behind leaders Porto. Rangers memorably defeated Sporting in the quarter-finals when they went on to reach the UEFA Cup final in 2008. Given that Rangers were unseeded and could have drawn the likes of Manchester City or Liverpool, being paired with Sporting and then Lille or PSV was a draw warmly welcomed by the Rangers management. The first leg against Lisbon is at Ibrox and, if they progress, they would have home advantage in the second leg in the last 16. Walter Smith, the Rangers manager, was pleased with the draw and reflected on the 2-0 away win which eliminated Sporting in 2008. ââ?¬Å?We know we will face two really tough games because they are playing well at the moment and we had to play well to win there last time out. ââ?¬Å?We played some good football against them across the two legs and we will have to repeat those kinds of levels to have success in the Europa League. Of course, Pedro Mendes is there so we know the quality of player that we will face. ââ?¬Å?Weââ?¬â?¢ve got good experience now in European competitions and weââ?¬â?¢ll need to use that to handle the situations. You can use every element to your advantage and we can try to do that with having the first leg at home. There is plenty of time between now and the games. We we will have them watched closely and will know what we are up against.ââ?¬Â Sporting werenââ?¬â?¢t at the draw as bad weather prevented Francisco Costa, their director of football, from arriving in time. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/rangers/rangers-dissatisfied-after-euro-dates-sandwich-old-firm-game-1.1075234

This game looks like it will be off The televised game at New Douglas Park, where Hamilton host Celtic, is unlikely to go ahead because problems with the water mains means there will be no undersoil heating on Friday night with temperatures are set to fall to -6C. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/9294496.stm

Aye,I'd settle for that mate,but I can't see it,tbh if WS goes I'm not too bothered about Ally taking over from WS, as he is a Rangers man and why not give him a shot,I think anybody who is going to take over has a lot to live up to

I think most Rangers fans would like him to stay,not all Rangers fans would like to see him stay,I think even Ally would like to see him stay,but I can't see him staying as he has already said numerous times he is leaving. I'll bet you the BHEASTS will be celebrating his departure though

I'm glad,when his team of BHEASTS get humped, AGAIN,he will start foaming at the gub,AGAIN, and start spewing his bigoted vile towards the the officials,AGAIN,etc.....

You going twice??:smile:

Who gives a feck about the fitba eh??:boogie:

Scottish Premier League champions Rangers have been drawn against Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon in the last 32 of the Europa League. High-flying Manchester City, who are third in the Premier League, will travel to Greece to play Aris Salonika for the first leg. Aris beat Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital with a 3-2 away win, a result which knocked the holders out. Liverpool visit the Czech Republic capital to play Sparta Prague. Roy Hodgson's side drew four of their six group games while Czech Republic champions Sparta have drawn three of their group matches. If all three teams progress to the last 16, then City will face Besiktas or Dynamo Kiev, Liverpool would face Lech Poznan or Braga while Rangers would take on either Lille or PSV Eindhoven. Full Europa League draw: Napoli v Villarreal Rangers v Sporting Sparta Prague v Liverpool Anderlecht v Ajax Lech Poznan v Braga Besiktas v Dynamo Kiev Basle v Spartak Moscow Young Boys v Zenit St Petersburg Aris Salonika v Man City PAOK Salonika v CSKA Moscow Sevilla v FC Porto Rubin Kazan v FC Twente Lille v PSV Benfica v VfB Stuttgart BATE v PSG FC Metalist Kharkiv v Bayer Leverkusen

When you're visiting your mother & grandmother tomorrow,instead of going to Ibrox,be especially nice:D

I thought you wanted a hooker to put you up,or is that put it up you???

That would do for me,I'm off to work 3rd January in the Netherlands:D

Has Naismith not been playing midfield for most of his games??,Davis could do more regarding goals,and I think Edu would also add a few over the season if he was playing more often,Weiss is another one who should be doing more

I don't know what is best tbh,what I do think is if the price of a ticket was cheaper I'm sure the attendances would go up

I think most fans are of the same opinion. I'm sure WS will be available on the phone for Ally as most new managers have someone to talk to for advice.Ally having served under WS for so long should help him and he knows what is required to manage Rangers,but all in all it is a gamble just like any other appointment or new signing,time will tell of course but all we can do as fans is get behind him which I'm sure the majority of the Rangers fans will

I disagree with all of this. He has had enough of the ball in the final 3rd and failed to produce. Our midfield have been performing better than any other SPL team. Don't know what is his correct position other than being a winger in which case he should be able to play well either side of the park,see Naismith. WS prefers to play players with less ability than him????,I don't get that, Whittaker was far more creative against Inverness than Weiss as the ball he put across the goals for Beattie shows,playing more as a winger before being dropped back to RB. Having said all that he is a young player and deffinately has the talent,with young players you get inconsistency,I've no doubt he will become a great player,but I'd rather see WS use more of our own young players,which to be fair he has been recently,but the likes of Wylde should be getting more game time swapping with Weiss
