Loving this wee bit of soap opera between Bain and Thompson. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8405027.stm
I don't think so. It's a separate story. Utd are charging fans for the replay of a game that was abandoned. Out of order and I don't think you would see Rangers doing something like that. Anyway I found the video amusing.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8410851.stm Good result on Saturday for us and even more pleasing was the performance! I’d say that’s the best we’ve played all season. I never thought I’d say this but I’m glad to see Broadfoot back. Whittaker has been poor for a while now.
I hate that I can't use the BBC to follow the team in the united states. When I pull up that link it says "Sorry, this media is not available in your territory."
I've heard rumours that the BBC are going to offer the media abroad at some point. I'm not sure how they can do this to be honest. It will be a question of sorting it out legally and installing one mighty big server...

Here's the review of tonite's match against Dundee United, good to see Rangers snag an easy win on the road!! http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=284865&league=SCO.1&cc=5901 Go Gers Er Pichi
Dare I say it? It looks like we've finally hit a good patch of form for the first time this season! The last 3 performances have just been getting better and better! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8410905.stm
We beat Hibs 4-1 at Easter Road. Excellent result. Match report and highlights here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8423526.stm And I felt compelled to post this: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_CSQUlpKVQ&feature=player_embedded"]YouTube- I Gotta Feeling[/ame] Quality.
Wow. No offence intended, but I didn't think you had these kind of performances in you. Seems I was mistaken. Uncle Walt looks to have let off the defensive shackles and you're scoring for fun. Obviously it goes without saying that I'm hoping you'll have used them all up by the time the 3rd rolls around but props to the way your club is playing at the minute. Impressive stuff. And I didn't think I'd ever say that on a Rangers thread.
Got a horrible feeling that come Sunday it'll be back to the old 4-5-1 play-not-to-lose-rather-than-to-win style that Walter has become almost notorious for, but I hope not. Good lord. An articulate, intelligent, and humble Celtic fan. A rare breed you are indeed.
Kris Boyd bagged an incredible five goals to sink Dundee United and surpass Henrik Larsson as the Scottish Premier League's all-time top scorer. Boyd tucked away a penalty then powered home a long range thunderbolt before poking in his third on 29 minutes. Boyd's strike partner Kenny Miller was sent off early in the second half after Damian Casalinuovo had pulled one back. But Steven Whittaker clipped a neat finish, Boyd claimed two more and Madjid Bougherra drilled in a shot. Boyd's haul takes him to 160 top flight goals, while the victory propelled the Ibrox side seven points clear at the top of the table going into Sunday's derby with nearest challengers Celtic. More to follow... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8431850.stm What a way to round off the decade. It's not been a great decade for Rangers, what with ra sellick n'at winning more titles than us, severe underachievement in Europe (the UEFA Cup Final and last 16 aside) as well as all the financial malarkey. But my highlights would be: The treble in 03, the 6-2 game against Dunfermline at Ibrox to win the league, Barry's winner in the Cup Final, Novo's winning penalty in florence, the UEFA Cup Final even though we were well beaten, beating the yahoos 4-2 at the pigsty, getting through to the last 16 of the CL (which was a minor miracle when you consider our "funds" back then), Helicopter Sunday, the league win in May last year (particularly important as I dread to think how far behind Celtic we'd be, both on and off the park, if we hadn't won the league last year) I think that covers the major events, other Rangers fans are welcome to add any more Roll on January 3rd
With Miller now being suspended (I think that's correct) then there may be a greater chance of that happening. One up front may be the order of the day. I have a funny feeling Mowbray may set up the same way.
The Club can appeal for the decision to be overturned, but I doubt the SFA will hold the disciplinary hearing in time for Sunday. And it feels wrong to complain after such an emphatic victory, but Lafferty was absolutely woeful once again. I know he's played out of position, but even then he still should have fundamental abilities such as being able to control the ball within four touches, or finding a teammate with a pass. Gave him the benefit of the doubt but my faith in him gets weaker with every game. He should be nowhere near the squad on Sunday. Rant over.
Well well well. That was a great result considering the team we put out. It also showed that we really struggle if we don't have a bit of pace and movement up front or on the wings. So we're 7 points clear going into the new year. I'll take that! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8436131.stm
Considering the players we had out, at the start of the match I'd have taken a draw and ran. We had several on-form players out of action, and Novo's injury didn't help either. From that game I can surmise that if we'd have paid £50k for Lafferty we'd have been ripped off, nevermind £3.5m. Absolutely woeful player. Furthermore, McGeady is a cracking player and I'd be happy to see him leave for Brum, even at £10m as they won't spend that on a replacement and even if they do he won't be as good. Fortune's "goal" was debatable as it was a 50-50 and in the case of a keeper and an outfield player going for it, the keeper usually gets given more lee-way. All things considered it was a very good result, although I was worried at how much Celtic dominated the game even though we had several players out.
I'm not shocked. Rangers need to have a fire sale to balance the books. Mendes has been a fine Rangers player.
I'd be gutted if we sold anyone during the Jan transfer window unless it's for silly money. It's almost like conceding the league.
