too slow Ian!

PEDRO MENDES will miss the big SPL kick-off tomorrow with a thigh injury. The Portuguese midfielder has been unable to train with his team-mates at Murray Park this week and has been ruled out of Rangers' flag unfurling at home to Falkirk. And he could also miss next Sunday's clash with Hearts at Tynecastle depending on how he reacts to treatment over the next week. It's the last thing manager Walter Smith needs as he prepares for the start of Gers title with SIX first team players missing through injury and suspension. Smith prepared for going into the new campaign without the services of American internationalist Maurice Edu, who is still a few weeks away from returning after a knee operation at the end of last season, and Kirk Broadfoot who is recovering from foot surgery. With Sasa Papac (one game) and Kyle Lafferty (three games) both suspended, and other players struggling with slight knocks, it has left Rangers short as they aim to kick off the season with a win. And there was further bad news on the injury front. Nacho Novo could be out for a lengthy period with a shoulder injury sustained during training. The Spaniard will visit a specialist next week but Rangers fear he could be ruled out for a couple of months. Smith's immediate quandary is his midfield for the visit of the Bairns. The Mendes injury could force him to put Kevin Thomson into the starting line-up sooner than the Ibrox boss would have liked. He also has the option of Lee McCulloch in a holding role alongside Steven Davis, who now seems certain to revert to his favoured central role.

Pretty sure it was �£90

2-0 Boyd 2

he's changed it to 52 as this is his lucky number

I'll take Killie away. Should have some more free time by then

Couldn't have put it better myself

Lyon v Anderlecht Celtic v ARSENAL Timosora v Stuttgart Lisbon v Fiorentina Panathonkios v Athletico Madrid

A kent of the highest order. Riise should have knocked his block off

It looks like the uniform for the gay army

Why would you want Bellamy to sign your Rangers top anyway?

They had 7 pages to our 2

I suspect you might be right

Clearly his face doesn't fit. There must be more to miss than meets the eye. 200k is better than a kick inn the balls

GOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL Bougherra

i think we are playing ok, just can't find the killer pass.

Don't worry, I'm sure the nurse will be round shortly. must be nearly dinner time

A football legend and a true gentleman into the bargain

I wasn't even a dirty thought in my Dad's head in 1970

Pardon my ignorance, but who the frig is that?

No that was his Radio 2 counterpart Terry Wogan. Celtic wanted someone who had european experience and had Irish roots

haha. No luck.....

have to disagree, I think its unbelievable how this guy has made a career as a professional. Bar heading, I can't think of any redeaming qualities. Can't pass, can't tackle, doesn't score goals. He is definitely 1 of our poorer players but Walter must see something I'm missing

Santa must have got my letter Although Steven Taylor has never played for Wigan. Ryan Taylor has though so maybe it was him

I'll go with Kevin Thomson. I think this will be the year he comes of age
