Good news...! Am sure we'll sign another left back though as well.

I'll see what I can do gentlemen...

Sounds superb mate. Can't wait to see the videos!

Sounds like the perfect day bluebear!

No problems with posting links to any sites or forums here mate. This link is worth a read as well. http://www.cici.org.uk/SummaryofEqualityandDiversitytrainingCelticFootballClubsupporters.htm

Jelavic is a first class player but is still relatively unproven. As such, I don't really believe any team (far less Man Utd) would want to spend that much on a player who only arrived less than a year ago for a third of that figure. I just hope if teams are interested, he doesn't take the same stand as he did while at Rapid when we wanted him...

There is software to d/load YT videos. Can't do it myself as I'm at work but I can't see the video being removed and would imagine people elsewhere will already have d/loaded it. The person who has the original is clearly a Hearts fan as well so will have it.

No idea but I hope your guess is right...

I'd fancy he may want more than that unfortunately. He is worth a rise but we have to be careful to ensure squad fiscal harmony.

I'm sure he does but at what wage...

Cheers mate. I've always been of the opinion Rangers fans should take a more active part in such interactive media. Instead of boycotting such stuff, best to pick an occasional event at random (be it a webchat, phone in or whatever) and get a few sensible bears on to argue our case. It's not difficult to be reasonable and show people like Smith up for being less than objective.

Very strange. Not our place to comment on this at all.

Richard Wilson wrote a reasonable article condemning the Celtic support. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/celtic/scottish-game-dealt-yet-another-sad-blow-1.1100949 The tide is still strong against us but it is turning - Lennon assault or not.

Will try my best to take this in. Expect nothing less than an anti-Rangers outlook.

So far only Ewan Murray has mentioned the songs of the Celtic support last night. Disgusting!

Ooops, I obviously read that wrongly. 2 Q rounds it is!

There was something on stv last week that we'd only have one Q round. Will try and find link.

You team seems fair enough to be but I'd still select Bougherra before the big Swede... Similarly, Davis hasn't been great this season either but I'd still have him in my team before Brown. Also, Mark Wilson has had a good year so it is close between him and Whittaker. Bugger it - no Celtic players for me!

We would have to play one such round if we qualify... SPL winners will be seeded in the 3rd Qualifying round.

Certainly a sentence that mat deter people from making similar gestures. Will suspect next sectarian BOP case may receive similar time in the pokey. Careful folks!

Out of those 32 players; I'd say only 25 of them can be considered senior players capable of playing first team football but even some of them are arguably not good enough. Out of that figure we then have 11 players who are either out of contract or their loan ending. That leaves us 14 players. We'll need to sign at least 6 or 7 players and that doesn't include selling anyone who isn't out of contract.

Squad as it stands: # Allan McGregor # 25 Neil Alexander # 3 David Weir [i](out of contract)[/i] # 4 Kirk Broadfoot # 5 Sasa Papac [i](out of contract)[/i] # 12 Richard Foster [i](loan ends)[/i] # 16 Steven Whittaker # 21 Kyle Bartley [i](loan ends)[/i] # 24 Madjid Bougherra # 39 Greg Wylde # 45 Darren Cole # ?? Ross Perry # ?? Jordan McMillan [i](out of contract)[/i] # 6 Lee McCulloch # 7 Maurice Edu # 8 Steve Davis # 10 John Fleck # 14 Steven Naismith # 20 Vladimir Weiss [i](loan ends)[/i] # 28 Salim Kerkar [i](out of contract)[/i] # 32 Thomas Kind Bendiksen [i](out of contract)[/i] # 37 Andrew Shinnie [i](out of contract)[/i] # 40 Jamie Ness # 41 Kyle Hutton # ?? Stephen Stirling # 11 Kyle Lafferty # 15 David Healy [i](out of contract)[/i] # 18 Nikica Jelavic # 17 El Hadji Diouf [i](loan ends)[/i] # 29 Andrew Little # 48 Kane Hemmings # ?? James Beattie

Great post mate which I think will reflect most of thoughts. Smith's teams and tactics aren't always glamorous but they are certainly, for the most part, effective. Sure we've had some real disappointments but in many ways Smith's second spell is better than his first. I just he hope he signs off in style on Sunday!

As was I. Hoping he's holding something back but I'm not sure this brings anything new to the table.
