KENNY MILLER last night edged closer to an Ibrox exit - as Rangers launched a bid to keep Stevie Naismith. While talks to hold on to 19-goal ace Miller, whose contract is up next summer, hit the rocks a big-bucks effort was being made to tie down Scotland star Naisy on a new contract until 2015. Now gutted Gers boss Walter Smith is facing the prospect of losing Miller in the January transfer window. It's understood the talks on Miller's proposed two-year extension are doomed to failure now and that will alert predators from England and abroad when the transfer window opens. Gers boss-in-waiting Ally McCoist, though, is desperate to prevent Naismith - who has 18 months left on his deal - joining Miller on the way out. The Ibrox club have tabled a deal designed to keep 24-year-old Naismith at the club until 2015. They are willing to offer him a long-term extension of at least four years after a stunning start to the season. Naismith has been one of the most consistent performers in Smith's side both in the SPL and Champions League. His form has also seen him become a regular in Craig Levein's Scotland team and he grabbed his first goal in the defeat to world champions Spain in October. Those displays have alerted sides south of the border. But McCoist is a fan of the former Kilmarnock kid's talents too. It's been made clear that Naismith is seen as a key part of the future success of the club. Takeover talks with potential buyer Craig Whyte have delayed the club doing anything concrete with Naismith. But it's believed they hope to move quickly in the coming weeks to iron out a deal. Meanwhile, Smith is happy to have dodged a bigger fixture pile-up. Tomorrow's lunchtime clash at Inverness WILL go ahead. And Smith said: "We want to be getting games under our belts and we want to be playing again. "We've got a busy enough period approaching without having it being made busier because we have more matches to rearrange."

KRIS Boyd is set for a shock switch to the Serie A in the winter transfer window after just six months at Middlesbrough. The once prolific Rangers goal ace is wanted by both Juventus and Palermo despite his goals famine in the Championship this season. And with Riverside boss Tony Mowbray who replaced Gordon Strachan unhappy at Boyd's scoring rate the struggling club is ready to listen to any offers to off-load his �£20,000 a week wages in January. Both Italian outfits have already sounded out Boyd's advisors and plan to make more definite moves in January. Palermo are particular keen on the 27 year old international striker who smashed the SPL scoring record with 164 goals but has failed to deliver south of the border. " We have received positive feedback and plan a meeting with the player's representatives next month " said a source last night. " We already have some sponsors who are prepared to pay the salary of the Scottish forward who impressed as at Rangers and in the Champions League last seasonâ� Read more: http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/216386/Ex-Rangers-star-wanted-by-Serie-A-clubs-Ex-Rangers-star-wanted-by-Serie-A-clubs-#ixzz17blbAYKj

CASH-STRAPPED Rangers have coined in more than �£20MILLION thanks to their Champions League campaign. Walter Smith's men bowed out of Europe's premier club competition after a 1-1 draw with Bursaspor on Tuesday. They pocketed six points during the campaign to land a place in the Europa League last 32 in the New Year. Just as importantly was the money their six group games brought into the Ibrox coffers. Gers really looked like they were a spent force in last year's morale-sapping campaign against Stuttgart, Sevilla and Unirea Urziceni. Their fortunes improved on the pitch this year as they upped their game in ties with Manchester United, Valencia and Bursaspor. Off the park, the importance of them qualifying could never be more stark. Craig Whyte might be on the verge of a takeover which would see the club's mounting debts wiped out and much-needed funds pumped into the side over the coming months. SunSport can now reveal the actual impact Gers' SPL title triumph last season and their displays on the continent since have had on the future of the club. Gers' direct entry into the group stages meant they were guaranteed to take home a cool �£6million as long as they played all their games. That was made up of payments from UEFA of around �£3.2million for just getting there - and another �£470,000 every time they played one of their six group games, netting �£2.82 million more. Rivals Celtic crashing out of the tournament in the qualifiers also earned a massive bonus on the Gers balance sheet. Each country is granted a market share of the TV money and had the Hoops made the group stages, Gers would have had to split the �£7.5million payment. Gers' home win over Bursaspor plus draws against Man United, Valencia and in Turkey this week brought in an extra �£1.7million. On top of that the three home gates would have brought in around another �£4.8million in ticket sales before merchandise and other income is budgeted in. With the Europa League to come now Gers look poised for another cash bonanza with more performance-related incentives. They'll find out who they will face at the draw a week on Friday.

Dallas and four other employees were dismissed for forwarding an email which linked the visit of the Pope to the UK with the child abuse scandal within the Roman Catholic Church. Under the SFA’s disciplinary procedures the five staff members involved in the incident had until close of business yesterday to lodge their appeals against the sanction. The SFA chief executive, Stewart Regan, refused to comment on the grounds that the matter is now an internal disciplinary affair to be handled by the Association’s human resources department. However, I understand that at least four of the five have appealed and that Dallas is one of those who will now have their cases re-examined by the SFA’s president, George Peat. Meanwhile, the reverberations of Dallas’s sacking and the resignation of Dougie McDonald, the referee who lied about why he had rescinded a penalty awarded to Celtic in their game against Dundee United at Tannadice on Oct 17, continue to be felt within the corridors of power at Hampden Park. On Tuesday, Regan responded forcefully to comments by Jim Sheridan, the MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North and a member of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee in Westminster, who became the latest public figure to attempt to put pressure on the governing body of Scottish football when he called for “their views on transparency, the structure of the SFA, the conspiracy culture and the way we deal with referees.” Sheridan added: “People I speak to within the game are fed up with every week bringing a new conspiracy theory and another referee being at fault. It has to be brought to an end. “I want a fresh pair of eyes to have a close look at the whole structure and see how it operates and advise how it should be operating. If there is bias or bigotry within the organisation then let’s get rid of it for the good of the game. “Things really have to be clarified as it just cannot continue the way we are at the moment by accusing a referee of bias every time a team loses.” Sport is, of course, one of the areas devolved to the Scottish Executive and as the Westminster committee’s own website states: “Are football governance rules in England and Wales, and the governing bodies which set and apply them, fit for purpose?” In any case, the SFA is already in the process of being scrutinised in a detailed review by another Scottish Labour politician, as Regan sharply reminded Sheridan when he issued a statement which said: “I am surprised by the comments attributed in the media yesterday to Jim Sheridan MP. Mr Sheridan spoke publicly before making any effort to contact me or ascertain details of the work currently ongoing to improve our game. “Mr Sheridan’s comments on alleged bias within the Scottish FA are divisive, grossly misguided and deeply unhelpful. “He has called for an independent review, when it is widely known that the former First Minister, Henry McLeish, presented the first part of his completely independent review of Scottish football earlier this year, and that part two is due to be published imminently. “My intention to conduct a review of internal processes at the Scottish FA has also been widely reported. “Finally, with regard to Mr Sheridan’s comments on referees, we have, again, already stated our intention to work with all relevant parties to create a Referees’ Charter. In short, we are in the process of addressing every point Mr Sheridan makes, and I would be happy to meet with him to clarify these details. “I am also interested to hear more on the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee’s renewed interest in Scottish football, and am especially keen to find out what level of support they are able to offer the game going forward.” As far as more immediate matters on the field of play are concerned, the Scottish Premier League remains cautious about the likelihood of any games going ahead on Saturday. The entire SPL card was wiped out last weekend on police advice and the situation worsened on Monday when Scotland’s road network was paralysed after a blizzard struck during the morning rush hour. Although a reduced train service was in operation, hundreds of motorists were forced to remain in their cars overnight and many more workers chose to sleep in their offices, including 14 SFA staff and the SPL chief executive, Neil Doncaster. Doncaster believes that the thaw which is predicted to reach Scotland on Thursday will allow the weekend fixtures to proceed, although he acknowledged that the issue is not simply a matter of conditions at grounds. “At the top of our priorities we have to have supporters’ welfare,” Doncaster said. “Although the forecast is for very cold weather overnight on Tuesday and Wednesday, it is thought there will be a considerable thaw towards the end of the week so we will be reviewing that over the next 48 hours before we make any final decisions. “We have to bear in mind that clubs want to get fixtures away.” If the SPL games do go ahead, Willie Collum will return to Celtic Park for the first time since he took charge of the Old Firm derby there on Oct 24. The match ended in a 3-1 victory for Rangers, who were awarded a debatable penalty kick, about which Celtic complained. Later on the day of the match, the 31-year-old Collum – a teacher of religious education at the Roman Catholic Cardinal Newman High School in Bellshill – received death threats at his home. On Saturday he will referee Celtic’s home fixture against Kilmarnock. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/scottish-premier/8187340/Sacked-referees-chief-Hugh-Dallas-is-to-appeal-against-his-dismissal-by-the-Scottish-Football-Association.html

Agreed mate. I'll bet you the other teams don't fancy playing us:boogie:

FORMER Celtic boss Martin O'Neill is set to scrap it out with his old Parkhead captain Paul Lambert for the vacant Newcastle job. Magpies boss Chris Hughton was axed yesterday just 24 hours after a dismal 3-1 defeat by West Brom. And O'Neill was immediately installed as the red-hot favourite to replace him. The 58-year-old has been out of work since leaving Aston Villa in the summer. Bookies Coral are so convinced he will head to St James' Park that they quote him at 2/1. However, O'Neill faces competition for the post from a familiar face. Former Hoops star Lambert has worked wonders at Norwich in the last two seasons and is fifth favourite at 14-1. Alan Curbishley, Alan Pardew and Toon hero Alan Shearer are ahead of Lambert in the running. Reserve gaffer Peter Beardsley has taken charge on a temporary basis and is 16/1 to stay in power. Hughton, of course, landed the top job after a spell as caretaker. And he excelled in his first full campaign by leading the fallen giants back to Premiership. Newcastle also made a promising start to this season, thrashing bitter rivals Sunderland 5-1 and winning away to Arsenal. Despite defeats at Bolton and West Brom on their last two away days, Hughton's side still sat in 11th place. But the Toon boss was sacked because the club felt they needed someone with "more managerial expertise" to take them forward. His departure will come as a shock to the players and stopper Sol Campbell blasted the club for their decision. The 36-year-old said: "Chris got us back into the Premier League and any other manager would have been rewarded with a new contract. "All the lads will be asking themselves, 'What the hell is going on?'"

The next Newcastle United manager will be expected to accept that the club could sell highly-rated centre-forward Andy Carroll as the board faced a dressing-room revolt over their decision to sack Chris Hughton yesterday. Whoever succeeds Hughton is likely to be told that the club will listen to offers for Carroll, who has been identified by Tottenham Hotspur, among others, as a potential transfer target. The 21-year-old, who signed a new five-year deal this season, is Newcastle's one major saleable asset with a value in excess of Ã?£15m – which would represent a big profit for the club. Carroll had a very close relationship with Hughton and the player is understood to be as shocked at the decision to dismiss the manager who brought the club back up from the Championship last season. Sol Campbell said last night that owner Mike Ashley could face a revolt from the Newcastle players over the decision to sack Hughton. In a forceful interview with ESPN Soccernet, Campbell said that the Newcastle players "are sure to be asking themselves, 'What the hell is going on?'" Campbell said: "This will hit the players hard. The players admired him and liked him and won't be happy now he's gone like this. It makes no sense. Here is a guy who has done an unbelievable job. He got the club back into the Premier League and any manager would have been rewarded for that with a new contract, but Chris wasn't. "The players are sure to be asking themselves, 'What the hell is going on?' When we left training [yesterday morning] none of the players had a clue this was coming. Yes, it has come as a shock, and it will affect the dressing room, there is no doubt about that." The preferred choice for the Newcastle board to succeed Hughton is Martin O'Neill, although the club are aware that it will be a tough sell for the 58-year-old to take the job. Another contender will be Martin Jol, approached before by Ashley, who last night quit as the coach of Dutch club Ajax. There was widespread dismay among fans' groups that Alan Pardew, whose most recent job was at Southampton, was the bookmakers' favourite. Out of work since his dismissal by Southampton in August, Pardew, 49, is understood to be the fallback option if O'Neill is not amenable to taking the job. Hughton's exit came as no surprise to many around the club who have witnessed a steady erosion of his authority. He had been denied a new contract – his deal had been due to expire in the summer – and had not been given authority to appoint a new No 2 since the departure of Colin Calderwood in the summer. The club have temporarily given the job to Peter Beardsley, a former player and latterly reserve team manager. Beardsley has been closely allied with the Ashley regime since it took over and has gone on record to defend the owner. The club have also dismissed the goalkeeping coach Paul Barron, who was regarded as close to Hughton. In a statement released yesterday the only hint to the board's thinking was their stipulation that they wanted a successor with "more managerial experience". The feeling within the club was that Ashley and his chairman Derek Llambias believed that Hughton – described by Campbell yesterday as a "lovely guy" – allowed himself to be dictated to by senior players. They regard O'Neill as the kind of character capable of taking on what is regarded as a strong dressing room. O'Neill's background as a boyhood Sunderland supporter means that his appointment would not be without difficulties. However, giving the job to Pardew is likely to provoke an even stronger reaction among supporters who feel that the club's hierarchy is completely out of touch with the feelings of the fans. The former Newcastle captain Alan Shearer, also briefly the manager at the end of the 2008-2009 season, said yesterday of Hughton's dismissal: "It's not good, not good news." Shearer also said that he would be interested in the job although given how his relationship with Ashley ended that would seem unlikely. "Despite what happened [at Newcastle] I loved it and if something was to arise again I would seriously look at it," Shearer said. Hughton said: "I'm immensely proud of my achievements with Newcastle ... the termination of my contract is now in the hands of the LMA [League Managers Association] and I will therefore be making no further comment at this stage." Even in the five games since Newcastle's last win, an impressive 1-0 success at Arsenal, Hughton can point to a draw with the champions Chelsea. After Sunday's defeat to West Bromwich Albion, a poor result, Hughton still leaves with the team 11th in the Premier League. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/newcastle-face-loss-of-carroll-after-shock-hughton-sacking-2153083.html

HEARTS clash with Aberdeen on Saturday is in danger of being postponed after part of the Tynecastle roof collapsed. The Edinburgh club are facing a race against time to get repair work carried out after heavy snow caused damage to the 100-year-old Main Stand. City of Edinburgh Council officials yesterday visited the stadium to assess the extent of the wreckage and declared it a no-go zone. Council chiefs have also given Hearts until Thursday to get the problem rectified. If the Gorgie side don't, they will be denied the required health and safety certificate needed to stage this weekend's SPL fixture. A Hearts spokesman said: "Damage has been caused after the snow and ice came off the roof of the main stand. "Sections of cast-iron guttering and lead piping have collapsed and the stand is in a dangerous state. "We are liaising with the authorities and have kept Aberdeen informed of the situation. "We remain hopeful of staging the match on Saturday . "We are working hard to resolve the issues and are confident they will not prevent the game going ahead." The Jambos remain optimistic, however the current cold snap looks certain to severely hamper their efforts. The adverse weather has made it too dangerous for workmen to climb on to the roof so Tynecastle chiefs have ordered a mechanical crane with an extended arm to sweep away the snow and ice. If any further damage is revealed, it is unlikely council officials will give Hearts the green light to host Aberdeen. The club have already ruled out the possibility of closing the main stand and using the other three quarters of the stadium. Record Sport understands the logistics involved in relocating the majority of their 10,000 season ticket holders and the visiting Aberdeen fans are almost impossible. If the game does bite the dust it will be the third weekend in a row Hearts have not had a match, following the postponement of their trips to Ibrox and Fir Park. And boss Jim Jefferies is concerned about a fixture backlog. He said: "It's not an ideal situation and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the game goes ahead. "Missing out for the third week would be inconvenient as the fixtures start to pile up." http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2010/12/07/hearts-v-aberdeen-clash-in-danger-of-postponement-after-tynecastle-roof-collapse-86908-22767298/

Walter Smith will not accept any footballing role under a new Rangers owner and hopes Ally McCoist is allowed to succeed him as manager. Scottish businessman Craig Whyte is bidding to buy out Sir David Murray and take control of the Ibrox club. Smith, 62, has made it clear that he will not be dissuaded from his intention to step down in May. And the club had planned for Smith to hand the reins over to his assistants McCoist and Kenny McDowall. "I have stated publicly that I would like that to happen," Smith told BBC Scotland. "When Sir David Murray asked me to come back, it was with the intention of staying for a couple of years. I didn't think I'd still be here four-and-a-half years later. "It's natural, from my point of view, that Alistair would get the opportunity to take over. I hope that is the case. "Alistair is more than ready to take over. He knows exactly what is required." McCoist was as a prolific striker during Smith's first managerial stint at Ibrox and served as assistant during Smith's three-year tenure as Scotland boss before the pair returned to Ibrox in January 2007. That partnership is sure to break up at the end of the season, with Smith ruling out the possibility of staying on as a director of football. "It certainly wouldn't be in any sort of footballing position," Smith said when asked if he could be persuaded to continue his involvement at Ibrox. "I wouldn't do that. "Whatever opportunities come my way, we'll just have to wait and see." Whyte and Murray are understood to be in broad agreement over the general terms of the takeover but no formal offer has been made yet. A new owner may, of course, have fresh ideas about how the team is run. But McCoist will not allow the takeover talks to distract him from his dreams of becoming the next manager of the club. "I am only concerned that the takeover, if and when it comes, is successful for Rangers Football Club," explained Smith's assistant. "That's what I have said all along. "I'm damned tooting if I was buying Rangers Football Club, I would want my own people running it. "If that's the case you keep your fingers crossed that you are the person they want to run it. That's the way it is. "But the most important thing is the football club, it always has been and always will be. "My only concern is that we do get financial backing and the club can move forward." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/9260639.stm

Newcastle United have parted company with manager Chris Hughton following a recent dip in the team's fortunes. The Magpies were beaten 3-1 at West Brom on Saturday, a week after holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw, although that result followed a 5-1 defeat at Bolton. Hughton guided Newcastle back into the Premier League in May after their relegation in the 2009-10 campaign. Newcastle are currently 11th in the top flight, with five wins from 16 games - only two of those coming at home. Rumours that the ex-Spurs defender was set to leave the club began circulating several weeks ago. A statement on the club website said: "the board would like to place on record their thanks to Chris for his considerable efforts during the club's transition from Championship to Premier League club. "Chris has shown exceptional character and commitment since being appointed manager in October 2009. The club wishes him well in the future. "Regrettably the board now feels that an individual with more managerial experience is needed to take the club forward. "The task of appointing a new manager now begins. An announcement will be made shortly regarding transitional arrangements pending the appointment of a successor." More to follow.

SCOTTISH MP Jim Sheridan last night called for an independent inquiry to investigate recent allegations of bigotry and bias within the SFA. The Labour MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North will write to Hampden bosses this morning in a bid to kick-start a process of transparency amongst the power-brokers of our game. Sheridan, who sits on the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee in Westminster, wants to examine the best way forward for Scottish football and end the conspiracy theories he insists are killing the sport. A host of controversial referee flashpoints, the dismissal of Hugh Dallas and the Dougie McDonald Whistlegate affair have dominated headlines - sparking a backlash from Grade One officials who went on strike last weekend. Now Sheridan wants to shine a light on the SFA to see if they have any case to answer. He said: "This letter to the SFA will inform them that the committee will be looking into football governance throughout the United Kingdom in the next couple of months. "I would like the SFA to express their views on transparency, the structure of the SFA, the conspiracy culture and the way we deal with referees. "People I speak to within the game are fed up with every week bringing a new conspiracy theory and another referee being at fault. It has to be brought to an end. "I want a fresh pair of eyes to have a close look at the whole structure and see how it operates and advise how it should be operating. "If there is bias or bigotry within the organisation then let's get rid of it for the good of the game. "Things really have to be clarified as it just cannot continue the way we are at the moment by accusing a referee of bias every time a team loses." http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/2010/12/06/mp-demands-independent-inquiry-into-claims-of-bigotry-inside-sfa-86908-22765382/

I would hope all the SPL clubs tell the Catholic church where to go,RELIGION HAS NOT PLACE IN FOOTBALL!!!, so keep yer noses oot:smile:

Walter Smith will be urged to become a powerful Ibrox boardroom player if Craig Whyte succeeds in his �£32 million bid to buy Rangers. And Ally McCoist's promotion to the manager's office would also be given the seal of approval by the man who would be the next Rangers king. Whyte's period of due diligence is almost complete and it is understood he remains confident of clinching a deal with David Murray to buy the club within two months. Whyte was hoping to be in control by the turn of the year but that is unlikely. Despite his frustration, sources at Ibrox and in England insist Whyte, who met Rangers chairman Alastair Johnston on Friday, is determined to get his hands on the club. And they also stress there would be no change in the proposed line of succession. McCoist would welcome a takeover from Whyte that edges him closer to landing his dream job. He said: "I am only concerned that the takeover, if and when it comes, is successful for Rangers. "If I was buying Rangers I would want my own people running it. "You keep your fingers crossed that you are the person they want to run it." Although Whyte would rather see Smith continue as manager he would not block McCoist's own take over. But he is determined to make use of Smith's knowledge and experience. And if Murray sells to Whyte moves would be made to hold on to Smith. He'd be offered a position as director of football and if that didn't appeal he would then be invited to take a seat on the board. Our sources stress that Whyte would want Smith to have a crucial say in the club's direction. And if Smith were to go for that McCoist would then have a strong ally in the boardroom and there would be a better understanding of the team's needs. Whyte is bankrolling the entire deal although, with a loan from the buyer, Andrew Ellis is likely to take a 25 per cent stake. But there will be only one man calling the shots and Whyte's desire to own the club is stronger than ever. Ibrox sources are also convinced he has the financial clout to see this through and believe the deal, which will commit Whyte to spending at least �£5m on players in each of the next five seasons, will be concluded within eight weeks. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/2010/12/06/craig-whyte-i-want-walter-on-the-board-86908-22764832/

SPL football stars are to be given anti-bigotry classes set up by the Catholic church. Victims of sectarian abuse - including priests - will visit clubs to educate players and staff. The church intends to write to all top-flight sides this week offering the new lessons. It follows the departure of SFA referees' chief Hugh Dallas after he was accused of sending an offensive email on the day of the Pope's visit to Scotland in September. Yesterday Catholic church spokesman Peter Kearney hailed the new unit, saying: "The time has come for a more specific approach. The one-size-fits-all model hasn't worked. "If you want to tackle anti-Semitism you need to speak to Jewish people, if you want to tackle anti-Catholic attitudes you need to speak to Catholics." He added: "Some of the existing education on anti-sectarianism is facile. "One initiative I went to involved holding up a football shirt which was half-Celtic and half-Rangers. "That is superficial and amounts to telling people to abandon their identity." Celtic and Rangers are already involved in anti-sectarian schemes. And Aberdeen have agreed to the classes after players Michael Paton and Zander Diamond sparked a row earlier this year by reportedly posting comments on Facebook insulting Protestants. Last night Labour MSP Michael McMahon said: "The sectarian problem in Scotland is more insidious now than it's ever been.":hm: Read more: http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/3261978/SPL-football-stars-to-get-anti-bigot-lessons.html#ixzz17JZ73NC5
