KAL NAISMITH'S last-minute penalty miss let Hibs replace Rangers at the head of the Clydesdale Bank under-19 league after their 3-2 win at Murray Park. The Edinburgh outfit had stormed into a three-goal lead early in the second half of their table-topping clash today. Kal NaismithAlthough the Light Blues mounted a comeback in the closing stages, they couldn't quite draw level with their nine-man opponents. Snatching a share of the spoils would have kept Billy Kirkwood's youngsters a point ahead of their closest challengers. But Naismith's failure to convert from 12 yards means the visitors are the team now setting the pace with just five games remaining. Gers find themselves two points behind Hibs with the finishing line coming into sight but it could have been very different. There was little to choose between the sides in a tame first half hour at Auchenhowie but when the game came to life, it gathered pace quickly. Within 60 seconds of David Wotherspoon putting the away side ahead from close range, Oliver Russell had added a second after a neat one-two. Rangers tried to claw their way back into contention after the interval and started brightly but soon found themselves even further adrift when the Hibees claimed a third. Wotherspoon was the scorer again, forcing the ball past Arturs Vaiculis when he got on the end of Patrick Deane's cross. Kirkwood's kids finally mustered a response and quick feet by Naismith in the box won them a penalty which he took responsibility for and dutifully converted. Billy KirkwoodArchie Campbell then threw the hosts a lifeline when he met Gregg Wylde's low, whipped cross to make it 3-2 with 17 minutes remaining. Gers' hopes of levelling increased when Hibs were reduced to 10 men in the aftermath of Campbell's strike. Scott Smith - booked for bringing down Naismith in the area just moments earlier - found himself cautioned once more for dissent as the pressure mounted. Ex-Murray Park starlet Ally Park joined him for an early bath in the dying seconds when he handled a goalbound shot on the line after a frantic scramble in front of the posts. But with Naismith given another opportunity to strike from 12 yards, he couldn't take it and fired his kick over the bar to hand Hibs victory. It was a sore moment for the promising striker, who had done so much to get his team back into the running. Now Naismith and his colleagues have to pick themselves up for their next league outing, an Old Firm derby with Celtic. Although the kick-off date and times are yet to be confirmed, the game is expected to take place next Saturday.

MADJID BOUGHERRA has revealed he snubbed a bumper offer to quit Rangers and double his wages at Newcastle. The Ibrox defender turned down a big-money move to the Premier League strugglers in January. Toon manager Joe Kinnear lodged an interest in the Ã?£2.5million Algerian ace. Bougherra said: ââ?¬Å?I joined Charlton as I wanted to get into the Premier League quickly, but I ended up being relegated. ââ?¬Å?Iââ?¬â?¢ve had a repeat scenario this season. Six perfect months with Rangers, then Newcastle came in for me. Like Charlton were, they are in the Premier League, but fighting to stay up. I did not want to make the same mistake again. ââ?¬Å?I want to end the season with Rangers and savour it, knowing I can play my game and enjoy the managerââ?¬â?¢s full confidence in me. ââ?¬Å?I can only improve. Iââ?¬â?¢m enjoying myself at Rangers, and I donââ?¬â?¢t see why I should leave. ââ?¬Å?I could make twice as much money at Newcastle as Rangers donââ?¬â?¢t pay me much more than what I was on at Charlton. I am not among their best-paid players, but in sporting terms I am at a big club and I am happy with what Iââ?¬â?¢ve got. ââ?¬Å?We get 50,000 crowds for every home game, and we are in Europe every year ââ?¬â? apart from this season. ââ?¬Å?Okay, the SPL is not the best league in the world. There are three or four good sides, but the rest are not great. ââ?¬Å?My heart is with Rangers. I want to stay with them for another season at the very least. ââ?¬Å?I have climbed the ladder. It would be illogical for me to leave Rangers for a club struggling to stay up, knowing I will play European football next season.ââ?¬Â http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/sport/spl/article2316983.ece

Police are investigating an allegation of common assault made against Jose Mourinho after a Champions League tie. It has been alleged the Inter Milan manager punched a supporter as he left Old Trafford stadium after his team's defeat by Manchester United. Police have contacted United to request CCTV footage of the area and have confirmed a complaint has been made. A spokesman for Manchester United confirmed they are aware of the allegation but made no further comment. Mourinho criticised A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "Just before midnight on Wednesday 11 March 2009 a man reported he'd been punched in the face outside Old Trafford. "Police are investigating this common assault allegation. Inquiries are ongoing." The allegation came at the end of a bad night for Mourinho, who watched his team crash out of the Champions League following their defeat, with Nemanja Vidic and Cristiano Ronaldo grabbing goals for United at the start of each half. Mourinho has come under attack from the Italian media for his failure to get Inter through to the last eight teams in the competition. The plane taking the Inter party back to Milan left Manchester at 0025 GMT. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7939501.stm

Fit not Fat

By Andrew Dickson ALLY McCOIST reckons Sunday's Old Firm final will prove the League Cup is still as big as ever. Ally McCoist and Walter SmithSince the European place that went to the winners of the event was taken away in the pre-SPL era, a string of critics have questioned the competition's worth. But McCoist certainly hasn't joined in and after enjoying so many memorable victories in the tournament over the years, it holds a very special place in his heart. He has won it no less than nine times, with his goals making a difference in four different finals. And with Rangers and Celtic set to clash for this year's prize, McCoist reckons a hugely important game is in prospect. He said: "The League Cup was a wonderful competition for me and I always felt I was really lucky to do so well in it. "All these years on, even though there's no European place attached to it any more, I still believe it's a massive tournament. "There are plenty of people out there who will be negative about it but I don't understand how they can do that. I'd never rubbish it. Ally McCoist"It's an event that effectively sets you off on your season and it's the first domestic trophy up for grabs in Scotland. "I would never, ever underestimate it. Look at clubs who have won it recently such as Hibernian and Livingston. "The League Cup gives fans of those clubs a real opportunity to get to Hampden and see their club pick up silverware. "Looking at this particular final, it would be a massive match if Rangers played Celtic at tiddlywinks. That goes without saying and the game coming up will be huge for us all. "I think this is a fantastic tournament - it has been ever since it started and long may it continue."

by David Melvin ALLAN McGREGOR has been involved in many Rangers successes in recent years but last year's Co-op Cup triumph was essentially his first success. The keeper had been on the bench in cup finals and league triumphs, but he played a massive role in the defeat of Dundee United in 08 not least with two saves in the penalty shoot-out. Now he craves more success when Rangers defend the trophy against Celtic on Sunday. Allan McGregorHe told Rangers World:"The way it was won last season means it will always be a bit special. "We had had a hard game on the Thursday in Europe and to come back from that to play 120 minutes and then face penalties it was an amazing achievement. "Going a goal down in the first half wasn't too good and as we got nearer to the end I thought it wasn't going to happen for us but then Boydy popped up with a goal. "In extra time it was the same again when we fell behind and he did it again for us so it was a real experience. "Then I managed to save a couple of their penalties to help the boys and it was a good occasion for us. "It was the first trophy the club had won in a while so it was a special one for us and of course being part of the team and not just the squad means it will always be a memory for me. "Some people might look down on the competition these days but there is silverware at stake and you want to win it. "Especially with it being Celtic we face in the final this time. It is a bit special and I'm really looking forward to it as are all the rest of the boys. "I was on the bench for the League Cup final in '03 and we managed to win it - one of many that year - so I'd love to have a repeat of that this time."

Deffinately away in the summer then

Fresh doubts surround the long-term Rangers future of striker Kris Boyd with the club refusing to comment on a training-ground bust-up. He was sent home from training on Tuesday after an argument with manager Walter Smith - something assistant boss Ally McCoist would not be drawn on. "Unfortunately, I've got no comment to make at all," he said. "Any situation involving Kris Boyd and the manager is between those two. I don't know enough about it." The player and Smith had words about his reaction to his latest exclusion from the starting line-up. Boyd was among the substitutes for the Scottish Cup win over Hamilton. The striker - who has scored 24 goals this season so far - played the final 25 minutes of Sunday's comfortable cup win but failed to find the net. You have to conduct yourself fine when you're on the park but equally off the park. It goes for any Old Firm player Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist McCoist confirmed that Boyd attended training with his team-mates on Wednesday and will be considered for selection for Sunday's Co-operative Insurance Cup final against Old Firm rivals Celtic. Should Boyd not feature for the holders from the start against the Parkhead side, there are no suggestions it would be due to this latest development. Asked if Boyd would be considered for the game, McCoist said: "Without doubt. When you look at the squad, we've got 25 or 26 players available then we'll narrow it down and take a squad away. "Kris Boyd has not been ruled out by me, you'll have to ask the manager. "Nothing's happened that'll prevent us from having the idea of the best team that will start the game. Nothing has happened. That will not change. "I'll give an honest opinion - we'll all sit down and give honest opinions on who we think should start. That's the way it should be and that's the way it will be." McCoist, who himself spent many a frustrating spell on the bench, did have advice for Boyd - and others - on how to handle being dropped from the starting 11. "I would give all the players the same advice as it's part and parcel of being involved in an Old Firm squad," he said. "You have to conduct yourself fine when you're on the park but equally off the park. It goes for any Old Firm player. "I think in recent months there's been one or two things happening off the field which have happened for the last 100 years. Let's not make any mistake about it. "It's in everyone's best interests to nullify them. I wouldn't single out Kris Boyd for advice any more than I would Kenny Miller or Kyle Lafferty. "They're all in the same boat and know what's expected of them being a Rangers player." Despite the bust-up, McCoist claims he would be more disappointed if any player showed no reaction to being left on the bench. MY SPORT: DEBATE Is this the end for Kris Boyd at Rangers? "If anybody's not in the team - not just Kris Boyd - and were happy then we've got a problem, lets not make any mistake about that," he added. "There was nobody dropped out of their team more than myself during my career. "So there's no difference whether you're Kenny Miller being left out of the last Celtic game or you're Kirk Broadfoot not making it and playing Steven Whittaker instead. You have to react to it in the right manner. "And hopefully our whole squad will react to it in the right manner." The news comes during an eventful year for Boyd off the park. In October, and after spending all 90 minutes of the World Cup qualifier with Norway on the bench, Boyd announced he would not play for the Scotland national team under the stewardship of George Burley again. He also made a rare Old Firm derby start during the 1-0 defeat to Celtic in December and seldom featured from the start as the club progressed to last season's Uefa Cup campaign. The player was the subject of a failed Birmingham City bid in January as Rangers attempted to balance the books. The Ibrox side had accepted an increased offer of nearly �£4m for the former Kilmarnock forward, but the player could not agree personal terms at St Andrews. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rangers/7937420.stm

By Andrew Dickson RANGERS' players will receive a pre-match boost before Sunday's League Cup final when Kevin Thomson visits them in their dressing room. The Light Blues midfielder has been out of action ever since he suffered a serious knee injury in the 4-0 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on November 9. Thomson has been sorely missed in the four months since he was crocked but is making excellent progress in his rehabilitation programme. After a string of gruelling double sessions at Murray Park, he is currently taking a well-earned 10-day break. Thomson will return to the gym next week and remains on course to make his comeback in pre-season as planned. He will attend his first match since he was carried off in Ayrshire when the Old Firm sides clash at Hampden this weekend. Thomson so far hasn't been allowed to go to games because sitting still for so long would hinder his progress. However he has now got to the point where he can watch Gers in the flesh once more and he can't wait to roar them on against Celtic. The 24-year-old said: "I've not been to a game yet since I hurt my knee because sitting in a stand for an hour and 45 minutes isn't the best thing for it. "But I'm starting to get to the stage where I'll be going to each home game and I'll be in the stand watching the boys in this one too. "I've been lucky that most of our games have been on television and from that point of view, I've not missed too much of what the lads have been up to. "But it'll be nice to see them live again. I'm looking forward to the game and I'll be in the changing room to wish everyone all the best beforehand."

Watched this the other night..................superb

Maybe Rangers have received another offer for him :fish:

By Andrew Dickson BARRY FERGUSON couldn't care less if it was Celtic or Berwick he was facing for the League Cup on Sunday as long as he helps Rangers win it. The Ibrox captain is currently preparing for a first Old Firm final in six years ahead of the Light Blues' meeting with their Parkhead opponents this weekend. It's a match supporters are looking forward to immensely and while Ferguson's no different in that respect, he has played down the importance of who Gers' opponents are. He doesn't mean to be disrespectful when he says that - he simply feels that coming home with the silverware is more significant than who stands in his way of the trophy. Ferguson said: "People often ask me how good it would feel to lift another cup and the answer is that nothing ever changes. "The hunger to win is always there and whenever you get your hands on silverware again, it feels every bit as special as the first time you did it. "Once your desire to keep doing that goes, there is no point in playing football any more and you might as well give up. "To lift a trophy as captain of Rangers is a huge thing for me and it's special to all of my family and friends too. It means so much to us all. "It doesn't matter who it is against. People also question me about whether finals against Celtic are better to be part of than matches against other teams. "It really doesn't make a difference to me. We could be playing Berwick Rangers or whoever else this weekend and it would be just as big a game. "To win the trophy is the biggest thing and we must make sure we're the ones standing there with it once the final whistle goes." Ferguson has an outstanding record in domestic cup finals with Rangers and has won each one of the nine he has played in. Included in that run are three victories against Celtic and the Light Blues have won their last four Old Firm finals in a sequence stretching back almost 20 years. nIt goes without saying Ferguson is determined to make it five in a row at Hampden four days from now - but he knows what has happened in the past counts for nothing. He added: "We've got a good recent record in cup finals against Celtic and we're very proud of it but it goes out the window ahead of this game. "It's all behind us now and I'm not the type to look back at things. I tend to look forward instead and we need to consider how we go about winning this game. "We've still got a relatively new team and for a lot of the boys, this will be their first final with Rangers. "We know the match will difficult. It will take a lot of hard graft but hopefully we can come out on top."
