Champions League winner Benni McCarthy insists he had no problem recommending Bongani Zungu to Rangers. The former Porto and Blackburn striker was approached by Gers coach Michael Beale about his fellow South African and gave a glowing report. McCarthy reckons the loanee, who joined on deadline day from Amiens, will fit in well at Ibrox. And he believes the midfielder will have no trouble with the physical aspect of the Scottish game. “I know Michael [Beale] very well as we were on the same Uefa coaching courses together, so he phoned me for a chat about Zungu,” McCarthy said. “When they were first interested in him they wanted to do some background checks. "They had a good idea of what kind of player he was and wanted my opinion on him as well. I told them they’d be getting a real good one if they signed him. "Not only is Zungu a great player, he is a fighter. I’ve watched him blossom over the last few years and Rangers have got themselves a fantastic footballer.” Speaking to the Scottish Sun, he added: “He is the complete midfielder, very comfortable on the ball and so strong in the tackle. He can play as a defensive midfielder too because he is so good at cleaning up. “But he also offers you an attacking threat and he can score goals.” https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/18776414.benni-mccarthy-happy-recommend-bongani-zungu-rangers-complete-midfielder/

A man from Northern Ireland rang Ibrox as Celtic were losing to Rangers to report a bomb at the stadium, a court has heard. James Joseph Doherty, 34, from Carnhill in Londonderry, is charged with making the bomb hoax during an Old Firm derby on May 12 2019. Rangers won the Scottish Premiership encounter 2-0 with goals from James Tavernier and Scott Arfield. The case was mentioned during a sitting of Derry Magistrates' Court on Monday. A defence lawyer outlined the allegation. "It's a hoax bomb case where the allegation is that Celtic were getting beat, he rang Ibrox and said there was a bomb at the stadium," he said."I don't think it affected the result, if my memory is right." The solicitor said his client had made "admissions at interview" and suggested a guilty plea was likely. But he added: "For some reason I'm not absolutely in a position to confirm that." The lawyer told district judge Barney McElholm if the charge was contested it would be a relatively short hearing, based on the legal papers in the case. "What I can say is, if it's not a plea, it'll be a very short contest on the papers," he said. The solicitor asked for the case to be adjourned for two weeks. Judge McElholm listed the matter to be heard again on November 19. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/18771209.man-accused-ibrox-bomb/ I can't remember hearing about this at the time???

Precautionary so not big deal.

But they never!. 2-0 win 2 pts is all that matters

Poor performance, however 2-0 win and 3 points.

Morelos has been off it for a while now unfortunately, maybe think about bringing on Defoe

We need to up the tempo! we need to move the ball quicker! and we need to having more shots from outside the box!

That has been a problem for a long time now, Hagi is abut the only one who isn't afraid to shoot at every opportunity

Come Rangers, 3/4 goal win today please, preferably 5-0 with Kent FGS ?, but any win will do

Doesn't come much later than that!
