Tims saying they are not interested in Wilson, he must have said no thanks.

There are plenty of International players in the English First Division, 5/6 in the Scottish Squad. When Warburton talks about value I reckon he is looking for young players in International U20s etc. who could make the full International team, which would enhance their transfer value.

Where does Williams get these figures ? The Rangers chairman and other creditors could end up having an even greater slice of the creditors' cake if the taxman fails to convince courts that the oldco was liable for £46.2m plus charges over the use of Employment Benefit Trust (EBT) loans to pay players and managers. It was confirmed that £72m of the £94.4m owed to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) relies on the outcome of that appeal that is due to start on July 7. Its failure to win that would cut the debts owed from around £160m to £96.8m.

No from me as well. Scored some good goals, but once opponents got wise he was ineffectual.

With Mark Warburton unveiled as Rangers manager and David Weir as his assistant, the pressure is now on them to build Rangers a team for promotion to the Scottish Premier League. His natural first port of call would be back to Griffin Park. The question is whether or not he will raid the coffers of his old club? It’s no secret (and please Rangers fans don’t take this as a disrespect) that any one of the Brentford starting 11 and most of the bench would make it into Glasgow Rangers’ starting 11 (my how times have changed). So it’s more of a case of who if any of our players would fancy the move North of the border Rumours are afoot that Warburton will be looking to sign Alfie Mawson. The Brentford academy player shone when sent on loan to Wycombe last season – earning their player of the season and being nominated for football league player of the year. He surprisingly refused to sign a new contract with Brentford, as revealed exclusively on the Beesotted podcast in late April, and was expected to join Wycombe. However, with Warburton’s move to Rangers and the prospect of only having to pay compensation for the player (out of contract but developed by Brentford from youth), a move North of the border is highly likely. Warburton is rumoured to have already pre-signed 4 or 5 players. Another Bees player who could be of interest to Benham is Northern Ireland international Stuart Dallas. He had an amazing season with Brentford scoring the goal of the season against Fulham and his future with The Bees looks very bright. But with FFP looming, if Rangers were to come in with a proper offer of £2mill or so (and after the Rosler/Forshaw debacle we don’t believe Warburton would disrespect his former employer with a paltry offer) Brentford may find it hard to turn down. Other players that Warburton might fancy? Jonathon Douglas would have been a prime target if Warburton ended up anywhere but Rangers. Toumani Diagouraga has been a revelation at Griffin Park last season and Dijkhuizen picked him out as being a player he was impressed with. But if Rangers stump up the cash (apparently they have cash now), there could be a move up North for our man Toums. All Rangers fans would love to see Lewis McCleod return to Ibrox. He has yet to pull on a Brentford shirt after an injury-plagued season at Griffin Park. But it is highly unlikely the Bees will let the young prospect go at this stage. Tommy Smith is another possibility. Released by Brentford at the end of the season, don’t be surprised if ‘Uncle Tommy’ becomes the perfect addition to Warburton’s squad to get them out of the Scottish Championship. http://beesotted.co.uk/?p=16010

David Weir talking about the task ahead. http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/9476-new-manager-will-make-his-mark

Every pound spent we need value. What a change at Rangers.

Sounding good.

Anyone know how Weir and Warburton got together ?

The usual suspects stirring things, Speirs, English and Jackson. Does anyone really care about first choice etc.

Looking forward to the ride. Hope he can cope with the pressure, no honeymoon period in Glasgow.

It hasn't taken long. . . keith jackson ‏@tedermeatballs 8h8 hours ago Rangers have obviously pushed the boat out to get Warburton. But let's not pretend he was their first choice. Or them his.

He can continue his apprenticeship under Davie Weir.

Posters on FF saying Danny Wilson signing.

Fingers crossed. Manager of Rangers is a long way from Manager of Brentford.

BBC #BBCSportsound .@RangersFC Mark Warburton has signed a three-year deal.He will be presented at a 2pm media conference tomorrow #Rangers

SkySports 3 year deal with Weir as his assistant, to be announced tomorrow.

Former Brentford boss Mark Warburton will sign a deal with Rangers to become the Scottish Championship club's new manager within the next 24 hours. The 52-year-old Englishman will be assisted by Rangers' former captain, David Weir, the pair having worked together at Griffin Park. Talks are understood to be at an advanced stage between the duo and the Glasgow outfit. Despite speculation, there is no role for former Valencia coach Ian Cathro. Warburton told BBC Scotland earlier this month he was confident he and Weir had the right attributes for the job. He said then that the Rangers role was more than about merely "steadying" the club. "Whoever comes in must appreciate the size of the task in terms of the history of the club and where they have to be," the former Watford youth coach said. "This is about making significant progress in a designated period of time." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33125007

Should be an interesting week.
