This any help mate. Copied from FF. Iâ??m organising a Sash Bash in sheffield. Itâ??ll be held in Studio 54 on West Street in the city centre with cultural entertainment aplenty! A tramline runs right outside the club which will take you to Hillsborough in ten minutes. Plus coaches can park 50 yards away and outside for first 5 coaches booking in. The owner of the club is also deputy chairman of Sheffield Pubwatch so itâ??s a very well-run establishment.

Does anyone know if the youngsters have had any pre-season games?

ooops, I knew we were abroad.

Interesting dB, I actually meant the German teams we will be facing pre-season. Who are we playing first?

dB, You gonna be our German correspondent What kind of quality are the teams we are going to be facing ? You could start a new thread.

I hope Mather's man enough to say no. Though Ally says he likes him !!!!!!!

One centre half should be enough, at that we need to dispose of 1 or 2.

I was shouting for that all last season, we only really did it against Motherwell, and it was our game of the season. Let's wait and see, but good news if true.

At the end of the game, the reporter on SSN reports the crowd number and suggests at least 4k were Rangers supporters.

I just don't see where we are going to fit everybody in. Worry that it will be the young ones who miss out.

But Rangers are in his blood.

The quality the tims have in their Boardroom compared to Rangers.

Wonder how well that was advertised. We are being taken to the cleaners, anybody that can't see this is needing their head looked at.

Express Sport understands there is a major gulf between the wages on offer and what the Bosnian defender, 26, is looking for. Pandza, who was at Mechelen last season, has other options and is ready to turn to them if significant progress is not made over the next 48 hours. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/414227/Boris-Pandza-expects-more-from-Rangers?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+daily-express-sport-news+%28Daily+Express+%3A%3A+Sport+Feed%29

Douglas Fraser ‏@BBCDouglasF 4m #Rangers' 3-month search for a new chief executive results in the interim CEO Craig Mather getting the job 12 July 2013 Rangers International Football Club plc ("Rangers", the "Company" or the "Club") Appointment of Chief Executive Officer Rangers is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Craig Mather as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the company. Mr Mather, 42, was appointed Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer on April 24, 2013 and serves on the Board of Directors.

He has made an extremely valuable contribution to the Club as Interim Chief Executive Officer and thoroughly deserves the opportunity to lead Rangers as CEO.

I like this comment. . . . well no I don't because it is so relevant to Rangers. 'I wonder if there are Jambos behind the Club9 bid, just because Hearts fans they don't like are behind the Fans' bid.'

I heard that as well, hope it isn't our plan for this season . . . but !!!!!!!

Agree with this, just added to the confusion. I suppose the question we have to ask is, why would any Company replace someone with his experience with Easdale.

Where's our Highland reporter??

Should be a harder game at Bristol, interesting to see what team plays.

Aird seems to be having a decent game.

ALLY McCOIST will play two different teams as Rangers continue their pre-season schedule against Elgin City at Borough Briggs this evening. Only Ross Perry is unavailable from the original 23-man party which travelled north to Brora at the end of last week for the Ibrox outfit’s northern tour. And although goalkeeper Alan Smith met the team this afternoon in Inverness, he came from Glasgow as a precaution more than anything and won’t be involved. Cammy Bell had jarred his ankle at training yesterday morning and sat out the remainder of that session before rejoining the group for more work after lunch. He is fit enough to play the second 45 minutes, while Andy Mitchell and Sebastien Faure will play either side of the interval respectively after missing out three days ago. McCoist combines Nicky Clark and Lee McCulloch to begin with in a 4-1-3-2 formation, with Mitchell, Lewis Macleod and Nicky Law comprising the midfield. Kyle McAusland continues in a holding role in front of the defence after impressing three days ago at Dudgeon Park and he makes his first start for the club. So too does keeper Scott Gallacher, with Darren Cole, Emilson Cribari, trialist Belil Mohsni and Stevie Smith in front of him. After the restart Jon Daly and Andy Little will team up in attack in a 4-4-2 shape against last term’s Third Division rivals. Kick-off is at 7.30pm and you can follow the match live on Twitter with updates coming on the official club account @rfc_official. We’ll also have highlights on our television channel RangersTV tomorrow – click HERE to find up how you can subscribe now. RANGERS FIRST HALF: Gallacher; Cole, Cribari, Mohsni, Smith; McAusland; Mitchell, Macleod, Law; McCulloch, Clark. RANGERS SECOND HALF: Bell; Foster, Faure, Gasparotto, Wallace; Crawford, Hutton, Black, Aird; Daly, Little.

Hope you have your ticket Forlan. RANGERS will adopt the same approach to tonightâ??s game with Elgin as they did at the weekend against Brora, with every fit player set to play a decent chunk of the match. Of the travelling party in the north of Scotland, only Ross Perry has been ruled out after hurting his ankle in Sundayâ??s friendly. The defender has sustained some sort of ligament damage but with the injury still swollen, he wonâ??t have a scan on it until he returns home to Glasgow. Andy Mitchell is available again and after being unwell three days ago, Sebastien Faure has also recovered and should therefore be involved. Cammy Bell, meanwhile, is expected to feature despite jarring his ankle in training yesterday and the same applies to Lewis Macleod, who suffered a burst nose in the same session. This eveningâ??s fixture rounds off what has been a hugely successful tour, with the squad in good shape with almost well over two weeks still to go until 2013/14 begins. The team will return home straight from Borough Briggs, reaching Glasgow in the early hours of tomorrow morning. Theyâ??ll then fly to England on Friday for a game with Bristol City on Saturday lunchtime before leaving there for a week in Germany at another training camp. In those games thereâ??s every chance Gers will change their policy but for now theyâ??re sticking with the status quo. Assistant manager Kenny McDowall said: â??Weâ??ve got a big squad and thatâ??s why we played two groups for 45 minutes each against Brora. â??We wanted to work everyone as much as we could on top of the double sessions they have been going through. â??There are a few permutations in terms of what sort of teams we could put out so weâ??ll see what we do against Elgin. â??We will probably do the same sort of thing as we did before, with a lot of players getting 45 minutes or maybe an hour for some of them. â??Weâ??ll keep it along the same lines though and we are looking forward to the match. The boys have been working hard and they just want to play now. â??Games allow the players to kick on again and they get stuff in them that we canâ??t really give them in training. â??Weâ??ve worked them really hard and after not getting any preparation last year, weâ??ve certainly made up for it this summer. â??At the moment weâ??re telling the players to go and burst themselves for a half if thatâ??s what theyâ??re playing because itâ??s really important for their fitness.â? Rangers fans travelling in cars and buses to tonightâ??s game can park in the Lossie Green Car Park around 100 yards from the stadium. The road in front of the main stand at Borough Briggs will be closed to traffic but the car park is easily accessible from the ground. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/4434-gers-to-use-full-squad
