*cough* *cough* Kris Boyd (1st time around) Couldn't agree more... I don't feel he would be expensive and would be a valuable option to have, even if just as a squad player

interesting

Liverpool 2-0 Everton Burnley 1-2 Tottenham Chelsea 3-0 Crystal Palace Hull 2-2 West Ham Leicester 2-0 Stoke Man Utd 1-1 West Brom Watford 2-0 Sunderland Southampton 2-0 Bournemouth Swansea 2-0 Middlesboro Arsenal 1-2 Man City

Andy Webster

haha, nicely put

Not much quality there, I think Sam Nicholson is worth a look at. though.. On a free, its a relatively small risk for a good young Scottish player

Happy birthday!

I believe at 11am

I can just see it, fast attacking from a front 3 of myself, Francisco Sandaza and Kevin Kyle, dubbed KLS scoring more goals than MSN at Barcelona

its live now

Doesn't anyone think Jim Stewart could have been an easy candidate for his 'local expert'? 10 years experience of the club and all the Scottish leagues while we've passed through them won't be easy to find.....

Its amazing what the need to impress a new manager can do.....

Whenever I watch these sort of training videos it makes me wish i was out there doing it...

Theres no way it would happen but we should have trained something completely different this week, something that Celtic would have not been prepared for and hopefully therefore, test their players ability to adapt and react. I'm probably mad, but why not try a 3-6-1. When not in possession, its a 5-4-1 as the 2 wingbacks will sit and defend. It gives a strong defensive base, with the ability to flood the midfield and strangle the game and hopefully slow down the ball forward from them, the wing backs then give the ability to hit them on the counter. 3 central defenders means one can sweep up through balls to their pacy players who will try and run in behind. One sitting. midfielder, two central midfielders and an attacking midfielder to support the lone striker. It definitely wouldn't be pretty, but it would get the Celtic fans on their teams back as they'll be expecting a whipping and then hopefully the players could take advantage of that

I would guess this is one of a few reasons why the compensation fee seems relatively large for a man with 45 days left on his contract, we're effectively paying compensation for 4 people....

“I know your dentist uses scaffolding but hold on a minute Chris.”

Maybe it's Weiss, and he's talking about somebody at al gharafa

Precisely, more than likely he would have been told to say that for purposes of raising the profile of a partner club(Celtic) in the country(Mexico)

For somebody who earned so much money while managing us, also unemployed at the time, it seems slight ridiculous that he couldn't either postpone his trip abroad, or if not that, at the very least, make a quick trip back to place his vote. I find it hard to understand if he loves Rangers as much as he professes, why he couldn't make that little effort.....

Can't find anything that I disagree with in that

Get that tae fu...

What worries me, and why i do really feel for Murty, is that this whole experience could have a whole host of other knock effects, such as... - Put him off wanting to be a manager in the future (you never know, he could develop a decent ability for it) - Lose him respect from younger players who look at the situation and think "He's not winning games, even with the senior players" - Lose him respect from senior players Thats just off the top of my head at the moment, i'm sure people could think of other issues

Here's a couple of lines from an interview he did... Frank de Boer reveals the chaos at Inter with Mauro Icardi and Marcelo Brozovic got too much for him. “We had three months, but honestly it felt like a year.” The former Ajax Coach was drafted in to replace Roberto Mancini just two weeks before the Serie A season kicked off and was fired 85 days later. “Leaving Ajax after 25 years as player, coach and manager was hard, but sometimes you are saying the same things, you need a new challenge, like Pep Guardiola,” De Boer told the Daily Mail. “But at Inter I had to deal with so many things away from football, you lose energy. “Every time you thought, ‘Finally, a good result, everything has calmed down,’ then comes Mauro Icardi's book or Marcelo Brozovic is in the discotheque and you have to punish him. “We only had three months but honestly, it felt like a year.” Inter were fined on Wednesday for Icardi’s autobiography, as it included threats to bring criminals over from Argentina to attack ultras. Brozovic was dropped for a couple of weeks, but the club never revealed why De Boer had taken disciplinary action – evidently the Croatia international had been out partying into the early hours. “Attractive football and dominating in the opposition half, winning the ball back as quickly as possible. This is what I stand for,” continued De Boer. “Discipline is everything, but it's about knowing when. One player at Ajax, Mounir El Hamdaoui, he stayed in the toilet for 10 minutes at half-time then gave me the big mouth. You think, 'If I don't do something here, they're going to play with my balls'. “That was it, 'Okay, you're off'. You either win the group or lose it. They need to respect you.”

Next Rangers manager: Frank de Boer in London as club continue talks over new structure FRANK DE BOER is in London as Rangers continue talks with potential management candidates. The Glasgow giants are looking for a new boss following the departure of Mark Warburton and his team of David Weir and Frank McParland. The Rangers board have begun interviewing candidates in London for both the manager and director of football roles. De Boer is on the shortlist and admits he’s ready to return to the UK to work. The legendary Holland defender was sacked by Inter Milan earlier this season after just three months in charge. And De Boer was in London this week for an interview with the Daily Mail and when asked if he could return to Rangers by a fan passing by he said: “I would love to manage here, but the project has to be right. “I told Liverpool I was honoured but I was only one year in at Ajax, it was too soon. I needed to achieve more, and I did.” De Boer spent six months at Rangers as a player at the back-end of his career and has been backed for the manager’s job by former team-mate Artur Numan. The former Rangers and Holland left-back insists De Boer would be a catch for the Ibrox side. “If you can get Frank you get someone with a lot of experience at the highest level as a player and a coach,” Numan told the Sun. “But he is a very sought-after coach and I know he will have a lot of offers to choose from. “He had incredible success at Ajax, playing some terrific football, and is one of the most exciting young coaches around at the moment. “I’m sure he will be successful again, whether it’s with Rangers or another club. “Frank has made it clear he will wait until the end of the season before making a decision, so if Rangers want to sign him they will have to wait until June.” Lifted from the Express website, but also saw similar on twitter from other sources. I am sure its no co-incidence, as he said, he'd always listen but, even though he's there, I still think he'd be a long shot

Well, thats a relief
