    This is a break out year for Edu with Rangers honestly I kind of feel he is a bit better than M.Bradley that's just me. He has having a good start and hopefully stays fit throughout the year.

    Bundesliga is tougher than the SPL but Edu has played well vs Man U & Valencia (1st Half)

    Rangers avoid Hoops for CIS semi-final, drawing Motherwell instead. Will be a "massive" disappointment if they don't make the finals. Hopefully, Edu will have to make mo room on the mantel for silver.

    The correspondent on BBC Five Live said it looked like a "serious leg injury".

    From Walter Smith's post match comments:

    "Maurice Edu has a knock on the knee. We're not quite sure how bad that was. Obviously it'll take a day or two for it to settle down, till we know exactly how bad it is."

    if this is a season-ender or close to it, it'll pretty much cement that idea/myth among BS posters that the SPL is full of butchers. not sure i'm inclined to disagree, either....

    Caveat: I didn't see the foul.

    But it sounds like he was hacked down, for the second time in about a year-and-a-half. That's pretty unacceptable.

    Not sure how Gooch's injury is relevant, since it was a freak incident, no one cut him down.

    Hibs are more a bunch of pencil necks than butchers. Who was responsible for the tackle (if that is what it was)?

    while I agree the data on this injury is not in yet (unless there is a video clip), that is a needlessly reductionary analysis of his position.

    THIS
    That is at best not what he was saying and you know it.

    The argument that was made, right or wrong, is that the frequency and severity of tackles is NOT congruent to other leagues. As you know. You frequently fly in to defend the SPL.

    Poor players make poor challenges.

    And so do good ones. See, e.g., Essien, Michael and De Jong, Nigel.

    I went to Rangers Media to see how bad they thought the challenge was and they are just complaining about how he played. I guess the fans were giving him some stick tonight for poor play.
