Nearly half a mil? I'm too used to us paying off all the fringe players. To actually get money for someone would be novel.

I've been talking bout that for a while. WOuld love one of the Englishsides but only in the group. I think with the 3 from 5 qualifying from a group they can be a bit dull and a "battle of Britain" tie would liven it up. WOuld be gutted to draw them in the first round though.

Also interesting to note that the papers rarely if ever pick up on the sories on the web surrounding the unsavoury stuff that people connected to Celtic get up to, but yet take a story from the web about Hartley.

No there's a danish team called Randers or something similar. You must be looking ta the wrong bit. In the first round proper we're about 15th out of the seeded sides, assuming all the "bigger" teams go through the Uefa and CL qualifiers.

:D Aye right. Very good. One of Le Guen's first actions was to extend his already fairly lengthy contract. Boyd ahd waht another 2 or 3 season's to run on his contract but Le Guen chose to add a year. Hardly gonna punt him for 1mil.

Until after Saturdays game I wanted Rae in for Hemdani.

I'll cheer Ricksen's name. Still a Rangers player. Fully expect to be in the minority mind.

Potential trip to SPurs atm! http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/seeduc2006.html Scroll down to the first round. Although hopefully a few potential seeds may fall in qualifying?

I'm with Frankie on this one. Adam is the only one, of many who have got out on loan, to come back and get a game.

Cheers, that's something taht's been bugging me for a while. Can sleepo easy at night now.

I remember trying to find this out before as it has often bugged me, but does anyone know the story behind the bike that is always in pictures of the trophy room? Cheers

Its exactly as I called it Frankie. He has assumed Mo Ross' mantle. The boy is pretty much fecked as a Ger now because as Danny admits he anticipates Hutton will fuck up even before he's got the ball and the feeling will eminate through the ground and is something Hutton will be aware of. Its a shame he is never going to get the opportunity to try and regain his previous form.

When teh friendly was announced, even as a ST holder I said to my mate I would happily pay around �£7 to go, but would prob be more like �£15. Funny how its worked out. I guess from that it will be a reserve side with any first teamers needing match sharpness thrown in. Still though a free game to see the Gers.

Aye, I'm a bit mystified this idea has been suggested twice this week. Its ridiculous to play one man in the middle of the park v Hearts. You need to be in charge of the midfield to control the game.

Second touch is a tackle then?

Unlucky mate.

The club thinking about the fans for once? http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,5~880878,00.html FORMER Rangers boss Dick Advocaat will be back at Ibrox on Wednesday August 23 when his Zenit St Petersburg side face the Light Blues and Season Ticket Holders can take in this friendly game for FREE! The Dutchman, who secured five trophies during his successful tenure as Rangers manager and has just signed Fernando Ricksen on a one-year loan deal, will occupy the away dugout for the first time and, as a reward for their ongoing support and commitment, all Season Ticket Holders will take in the action free of charge. The Club is also offering hugely discounted public sale tickets with Adults at just �£7 and Concessions available at only �£3 so bring the family along for what is sure to be a cracking contest. Paul Le Guen will undoubtedly give the majority of his first-team squad a run out against the Russians and recent recruits Lee Martin and Filip Sebo will be out to impress the Rangers faithful. Cheer on your heroes at Ibrox on Wednesday August 23 (kick off 7.45pm) when Le Gaffer locks horns with The Little General!

Disagree. Before anyone starts i'm not jumping on anyone's back or anything like that. This is just an observation of one performance. Prso obviously looked tired v DU, and played this weekend's game in exactly the same manner. Surely this must have been apparent to Le Guen in training and I am baffled why he wasn't given a rest and Boyd tried upfront from the start.

Unfortunatley appears too late for him already, he's set for the Mo Ross treatment. As you say far more experienced players have been worse than him recently yet he's always one of the first to get it in the neck. Very sad.

Why exactly? I understand and agree with what has been said above, but when we're creating 2,3 or even 4 times as many goalscoring opportunities and not beating 2 of the poorest teams in the league, why are you so confident that in the very next game we'll beat one of the better sides in the league? Against whom we'll mayb create only a couple more or as many goalscoring chances against. I'm not saying we can't win, just that I think it will be a very nervous 90 minutes and that comes from what we've managed so far this season. Pretty foootball is all well and good but it counts for nought if we cant beat some of the poorest sides in our league.

Thats class. Never got a ticket for the piggery so I'll tell as many bears as possible who I know are going.

Frankly it was an embarassment when we didn't acheive this last time. Only needing 1 pt from 2 games in a very weak group. To be fair all groups in the UEFA cup we should qualify from as it is 3 from 5. Will be absolutely gutted if we can't acheive this.

Well the most recent game I saw him play was v Sundowns, and he was woeful. Constantly caught out of poosition. Whether he used to play well in France is irrelevant to me, he's never shown he's worth a place at Rangers.

My thoughts exactly mate. Adam performed well, but bringing in Boyd strengthens the team. Harsh, but for the good of the team. He may well keep it the same for now though.

Even the "inept" manager that is AM managed that exact feat with Advocaat's team. Getting a squad of players who were underacheiving to play to their potential. The quality of the squad then and now may be different but the point remains the same. Sometimes all taht is needed is a freshness, a new challenge, a change of manager to get more from a player.
