JEROME ROTHEN wants Rangers to tear up his season-long deal and end his Ibrox nightmare. The French flop has made little impact since his deadline-day loan move from Paris St Germain. The ex-international winger has played just eight times for Gers and has even been floored by a dose of swine flu. Now Rothen, 31, will plead with Gers to allow him to return to PSG in January. He said: "PSG is my club and is always in my heart. "I only left Paris because I sensed something good at Rangers with the Champions League and a new championship. But now I am so disappointed. "I do not have any problems with the coach, but luck has not been with me from my arrival in Scotland." Boss Walter Smith swooped for Rothen after he played against Rangers at the Emirates Cup in London in August. He was a stand-out in only his second game as Gers began their Champions League campaign with a 1-1 draw in Stuttgart. But his subsequent form was erratic and he was criticised for a poor showing in the 4-1 Champions League home defeat by Unirea Urziceni in October. He hasn't featured since then and has tumbled behind DaMarcus Beasley, Nacho Novo, John Fleck and Stevie Naismith in the pecking order.

I've met you, and your not WS,or Thomson...........................you're ZAPPA

Oh no!!!, calm doon,you've just jinxed us.

I don't think there is any doubt that Broadfoot is a better defender than Whittaker

Agreed. I was one that didn't want to sign him in the first place,the fact he wants a move and get to the world cup,along with Edu, means we should get the best out of him until he leaves,on the Edu issue he will be looking to get into the USA squad as well so hopefully we will get the best out of him when he makes his return,all good for us though

Carlos Cuellar's superb recent form for Aston Villa is set to earn him a Spain call-up in 2010 - and has alerted Real Madrid. Spanish defender Cuellar, 28, had a slow start to his Villa career last term following a Ã?£7.8million move from Rangers in August 2008. But the centre-back, who can also play full-back, has been superb this season for Martin Oââ?¬â?¢Neillââ?¬â?¢s Champions League hopefuls. And Mirrorsport can reveal the uncapped star has recently been told by Spanish scouts that he is being watched closely by the national team Cuellar is now aware he is on Spain coach Vicente del Bosqueââ?¬â?¢s radar ahead of the World Cup next year. And Madrid-born Cuellar, who used to play for Osasuna, also has admirers at Spanish giants Real. The Bernabeu club are looking for a new defender in January after their Brazilian-born Portuguese stopper Pepe, 26, got badly injured. Pepe was carried off last weekend against Valencia in tears after rupturing his right kneeââ?¬â?¢s anterior cruciate ligament. He is now expected to be out for six months and has stated that he is ââ?¬Å?completely destroyedââ?¬Â. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Aston-Villa-star-Carlos-Cuellar-on-Spain-and-Real-Madrid-s-radar-Exclusive-article258027.html

When you play two wide players like Novo and Beasley it not only gives you attacking options but the way the two of them back track gives protection to our full backs and gives the opposing full backs less space to go forward,which was shown last night.Of course it is all about work rate and willingness to chase back and drive forward

Hard to pick this,I thought they all played really well,Boyd had another great game,Novo,Beasley,Weir...............!!!!!.However I'll go for Beasley for that wonderful goal He is certainly playing himself out of Ibrox

Correct Jim, Rangers MARCHED to the top of the league, and will march onto another title, we welcome the chase

We are the champions, talk the talk, walk the walk :spl:

Any more on this?,it's all gone very quiet

Ok, it's obvious I don't follow the EPL , however I'll stick with my opinion on Bougherra being able to hold down a place with a top EPL team @ RB

The viking warrior who delivered a hammer blow to Scotland's World Cup dream is desperate to fulfil his Champions League ambitions with a move to SPL leaders Celtic. Norway midfielder Morten Gamst Pedersen has been linked with a January move to Parkhead and the left-sided Blackburn attacker, who scored twice as George Burley's team were thrashed 4-0 in Oslo, is eager to make the switch once the transfer window opens. Talks on a new contract at Ewood Park began in August, but there has been little progress while Pedersen has not been guaranteed a place in Sam Allardyce's side. Pedersen said: 'Celtic play regularly in Europe and, for all players, that is a bonus. I've never played Champions League football and that is obviously something I dream about doing. 'Celtic are a big club, a big name in Europe. They have a good reputation, a big and famous support and they always compete very well.' Pedersen's agent, Rune Hauge, claims that a number of clubs are interested in signing his client - but it seems a switch from mid-table mediocrity in the Premier League to the top of the SPL and a tilt at the Champions League has huge appeal to the 28-year-old. 'I have a fierce competitive instinct and want to play football every week,' he said. 'I believe I should be playing.' The fee for a player who becomes a free agent at the end of the season should not be a problem for Celtic, although matching his current wages may still prove to be a stumbling block. Celtic have, however, finalised the �£2million capture of South Korean star Ki Sung Yeung, agreeing terms on a four-year contract that begins on New Year's Day. The deal to sign the reigning Asian Young Player of the Year was rubber-stamped yesterday after Department of Employment officials granted a work permit. 'I am delighted to sign for Celtic, a club with a tremendous history, which is known throughout the world,' the 20-year-old told the official club website. 'I know Celtic has some of the best fans in the world and I'll do all I can to show the fans what I can do.' Georgios Samaras, meantime, insists he is happy to accept the mantle of penalty-taker after another Celtic spot-kick miss. Barry Robson saw his penalty saved by John Ruddy in Saturday's 3-2 win over Motherwell, while Aiden McGeady and Scott McDonald have also both failed from 12 yards recently. On-form Samaras, who has netted five goals in his last four games, said: 'I scored a couple of penalties last year and have taken them for the Greek national team. 'If the manager asked me to do it for Celtic then, it would not be a problem.'

That's a bit strong and I disagree,I don't know the stats, but I think Miller has assisted with a lot of goals,ask Boyd.

Cuellar is a better defender IMO, however I think Bougherra is a better right back than Cuellar,where he is playing for Villa,so maybe he could get a top EPL side at right back!!!

Miller had a great game on Saturday, but I'll go for Boyd who also played well and of course scored his goals

You'll have a long wait I'm afraid,I'm not as good as you guys and anyway I prefer reading you guys match previews

About to start, should be a decent game, mon wee burkey get intae Chesney
