In a few weeks, I'm going to total up the Gersnet MoM awards to see which player wins it that way. Should be pretty interesting actually.

Can't see either Lovenkrands or Gattuso coming back. Both are decent players but neither have shown the kind of form that would make them automatic first team picks.

"Centre-back Cuellar, 26, who signed from Osasuna last summer, said: "I have a contract for three years. I want to stay at Rangers for life. "I always liked the idea of playing in a big league with other big players but now I'm very happy here. "I play in the Champions League, I can win the league, the UEFA Cup - now I'm playing in a big team in Europe.'' Yes, please!

Great news! Well done Walter and Carlos.

Cool....

Should be coming through your letter box this week... Prices frozen which is good news.

For me it's Adam's against Stuttgart. There have been a good few others which I'll try and remember...

Incredible defensive work. Our best DC since Gough. What a partnership that would be!

Can we? Aye we can. WATP

http://www.gersnetonline.net/newsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=627&Itemid=1 Has to be King Carlos again...

Some positive press for our fans at last!

It is very exciting, eh! I think the problem is too many of us are worried that being over-confident will jinx our season. Too many things can still go wrong but at the same time we should appreciate how far we've come already! WATP

Aye, I'm the same. Just can't see Ally is a manager - although he is doing a decent job. Durrant seems to sit next to Walter in the Director's Box a lot so perhaps he's the one seen as the long term answer. McDowall also has a great record at Celtic so perhaps he could make the step up given he left Celtic to come to us? Can't say either of them fill me with great excitement but PLG did and see where that got us...

mate, As always such a gesture would be a superb one. If anyone wants to take craig up on it, please pm him....

ITV4 for me... The coverage last week as superb. An excellent pre-match tour of MP with Ally. Then positive analysis of the game from a panel happy to support the British team whilst retaining a balanced perspective of the match. It's not rocket science yet our agenda-led media simply won't do it.

I think Walter will definitely stay for at least more season. He's done the first part of his job which was to steady the ship and get us winning again. Next part will be to improve further, make us more attractive to watch and to get us back as the dominant force in the SPL. A decent transfer budget in the summer will help - 3 quality players for around �£3million each could really start to better our team.

I wonder if one of the people on the bus has a range of tinned fresh fruit...

Carlos will be fit...

That's the Players' Player of the year list so the players select it.... It was done a while back which explains the rather bizarre list.

http://www.rangerssupporterstrust.co.uk/rstsite/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=192&Itemid=1 A total of one place will be up for Election during Quarter 2 of 2008, with the successful candidate being elected to serve a 3-year term, in accordance with the Trust Rules. Four members of the Trust Board who are due to stand for re-election have chosen to do so and the Board will be recommending their re-election. Assuming the members approve this, that still leaves places for 1 new member, and as the Trust Board always welcomes the input of fresh talent, here is the chance for ordinary members to get elected to the Board, which, once complete, will be 20 strong. Members interested in applying are asked to note the following: - Essentials Each candidate must be an adult member, and be proposed and seconded by two other adult members. The candidate, proposer and seconder, must all be current members for the 2008/09 membership year. Also, the candidate must not have any criminal convictions (other than spent convictions or minor motoring offences). After consulting with Supporters Direct, it has become apparent that if there are six or less nominations, then no election will take place. If that is the case, then we shall at least publish the A4 applications, which detail the reasons why each new applicant wishes to join the Board, sent in by each nominee in the next edition of the Blue Spirit, which will precede our AGM later this year. We do hope that the number of nominations does exceed six, but that is in the hands of RST members. - Desirables Candidates must be prepared to invest their time for the benefit of the Trust membership as a whole. Candidates should have particular skills which they can bring to the table, or alternatively a lot of disposable time available to help with the more routine functions of the Rangers Supporters Trust. - Hints Candidates are allowed to submit up to one A4 page outlining why members should vote for them. This will be circulated by our independent scrutineers with the ballot papers. It is not sufficient to state that you are a committed Rangers supporter ââ?¬â?? by definition, every Trust member is a committed fan, so we should take that as read. Instead and thereââ?¬â?¢s no need for modesty here; list what particular qualities, or assets, which could benefit the Trust as a whole. A good idea on your A4 page is to state your name, age, town of residence, and what section of Ibrox your season ticket is for, if you have one. NB: The closing date for receipt of applications, and processing of 2008/09 renewals for all nominees, proposers, seconders, and those wishing to vote, is Saturday 26th April 2008.

Just back online after a few days extended R&R... Really was a fantastic night and once again the Rangers social event of the year IMO. Fantastic venue, great food, unparalleled company, excellent speakers and even the beer wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be! Thanks to contacts for organising it (legend), thanks to the Gersnet contingent for coming along (legends) and thanks to BlueDell for helping the rest of the hotel guests look sober at 4am in the morning (leg end). Can't wait until next year!

Unfortunately money talks. �£12million minimum.

Excellent article, SA...

Exactly. Was a breath of fresh air watching a professional programme without the usual agenda-ridden studio analysis and/or match commentary.
