Ok, I just heard what is meant to have happened on the plane by someone who's very close to the inside of Ibrox. "Ricksen went into the bog with his polo shirt on andcame out wih a wee white lycra style t-shirt on showing off his muscles etc. He came out and started shadow boxing and posing in the mirror outside the loo. The players were in stitches He came back to his seat, lashed down some more port and got the laptop out. He was sitting next to an older guy- not a rangers employee and the old guy was sleeping and had the wee mask thing on Ricksen then pulled the mask away from his face and let it go like an elastic band -the guy near shit himself and wasn't amused The laughter at Ricksen brought a stewardess up to see what the noise was-then she saw the laptop and told him to put it off. He refused and told her to get him another drink and shut up She refused and gave him a dressing down -he then threw the water over her." Apparently PL was in his seat further back - he came and asked the older guy to go to a different seat and he put Lawrence Mcintrye and a steward beside ricksen. Seems West Brom are interested in him. That story is as reliable as any you've heard, maybe more so.

Zinedine Zidane has apologised for the headbutt on Italy's Marco Materazzi which earned him a red card in Sunday's World Cup final penalty shoot-out loss. But the France legend did not reveal what Materazzi said, only confirming that it was "very personal" and concerned his mother and his sister. In a French TV interview, Zidane, 34, said: "I want to ask for forgiveness from all the children who watched that. "There was no excuse for it. I want to be open and honest about it." Zidane was sent off for the headbutt to Materazzi's chest in the second period of extra-time in Sunday's final in Berlin. Since the incident, rumours have run rife about what Materazzi said to provoke such a reaction from the Frenchman. There were claims the Italian had called Zidane a "terrorist", but Materazzi denied he had made such a slur. In Tuesday's edition of the Italian newspaper La Gazetta dello Sport, Materazzi said: "It was the kind of insult you will hear dozens of times and just slips out of the ground. "I didn't call Zidane a terrorist and certainly didn't mention his mother." Zidane, who was born and grew up in Marseille, is the son of Algerian immigrants and has suffered taunts about his heritage throughout his football career. But Materazzi added: "I am ignorant, I don't even know what an Islamic terrorist is; my only terrorist is her," he said pointing to his 10-month-old daughter. "I did not bring up Zidane's mother; for me a mother is sacred." After Materazzi's insult, Zidane headbutted Materazzi's chest and was sent off, with Italy going on to win the match 5-3 on penalties. "I held his shirt, for only a few seconds," said Materazzi, who had scored Italy's equaliser after Zidane put France ahead from the penalty spot. "He turned towards me and scoffed at me, looking at me with super arrogance, up and down. "He said 'if you really want my shirt, you can have it later.' It's true, I shot back with an insult." Fifa is to investigate Zidane's sending-off while Fifa president Sepp Blatter has hinted the France star could be stripped of his World Cup best player award. Funnily, Materazza said he didn't talk about his mother, but then went on to say "I didn't know his mother was in hospital. I send her my best". He then also said: "Zidane was my hero"... And an e-mail sent into Sky Sports you have to laugh at.. someone suggesting Zidane should of punched him in the face. He would of been sent off either way and it was his last match anyway.

JJB apparently have a policy on not printing anything apart from squad names, or your name, on tops purchased from their stores. So far, Rangers fans have been refused - The Bluebells and We Are The People (in both English and French) printed on their tops. I suppose, once again, we are feeling the pain from a sort-sighted David E Murray decision.... There is a solution, go to a 'far more friendly' shirt printer and get what ever yuo want on your top Cammy F

Does anyone think DM is waiting until Thursday (strip launch) to unveil this "big" name signing we're meant to be making? If we do manage to sign a "big" name player it'll boost shirt sales. Just a thought.
