SPL Matchday 8- St Mirren 1-0 Rangers (Love Street) 05.10.08

[Andygers]

Here is the Rangers results so far in Competitive games:

Rangers 2-0 FK Zeta
Inverness 0-3 Rangers

So one decent and one great performance so far, any thoughts.

[CambriaFan]

FK Zeta 0-1 Rangers

Very professional performance by Rangers to hold off a pretty solid Zeta team in Montenegro. DeMarcus Beasley scored a late winner after Rangers had comfortably held off their opponents who looked like they lacked a cutting edge in the final third.

The game was marred though by abusive chanting (and this time not by Gers' fans!) Beasley claimed afterwards that he and Darcheville were subjected to monkey chants and other abuse by the home fans. UEFA is investigating...

[ulster21]

They will most likely play Red Star in the next round... That should not be much of a test.... The ex-Yugoslav teams are not anywhere close to where they use to be. Rangers look solid so far this year.

[Andygers]

^ Yeah i think Red Star are a shadow of what they used to be, All we have to do is finish them off in the first leg then relax in the second

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-0 St Mirren

Well the good form continues as Rangers put 2 goals past a St Mirren side in need of a good confidence boost. The goals came from Barry Ferguson and new boy Daniel Cousin in the second half. Cousin, only seven minutes on the field received a ball from DaMarcus Beasley and slotted it into the back of the net. Barry Ferguson grabbed his third goal of the season but Kris Boyd looked pretty poor, he needs to get the goals and get them soon. Your thoughts about the game????

[Andygers]

Rangers 7-2 Falkirk

PFFFFT!!! :D :D :D :D :D Rangers ran riot against an attacking Falkirk side, scoring seven but conceding two. Rangers started with a very early goal from Daniel Cousin and made it two around the 35 minute mark, with Steven Whittaker. Falkirk stunned Ibrox by scoring on 41 minutes with a cracker then the half time whistle came. Rangers then made it 3-1 with another goal by new boy Daniel Cousin but Falkirk were not done yet and they made it 3-2 and nerves travelled around the home support but as soon as the ball was played up the park Rangers made it 4-2 with Kris Boyd getting off the mark. Rangers then went on the attack and scored another three, two coming from Jean-Claude Darcheville and one from Kirk Broadfoot. Great performance, the challenge is on!!!!

[CambriaFan]

:D :D Great performance, great result!! But a lot of respect to Falkirk for coming to Ibrox and attacking Rangers. It cost them towards the end but they earned a lot of credibility. Another win next time please :D

[Andygers]

Rangers 4-0 Gretna

It was a tale of two half's for Rangers today. First half was the poorest Rangers had played all season, they rarely threatened the Gretna goal and looked quite shaky but went 1-0 up after a free kick from Kris Boyd was deflected into the back of the net. Then in the second they looked a bit better but it was still poor then came the changes, Nacho Novo and Jean-Claude Darcheville came on to add some pace and it worked. Andy Webster scored the second on his debut and the third came from Carlos Celluar. Then an own goal finished it off. Good result, poor performance.

[Andygers]

Hearts 4-2 Rangers

What can I say....That was absolutely pathetic. We were a complete shambles and Hutton what is he all about :sad:

Okay we went 2-0 down by two bad deflections then we got back and then Hutton makes a stupid challenge and gives them a penalty FFS :mad2:

What a f**king way to prepare for a champions league clash....We must improve drastically.

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-1 Stuttgart

Rangers started their champions league campaign with a victory over the German champions, Stuttgart. Goals from Charlie Adam and Jean-Claude Darcheville were enough to beat the Germans even though Mario Gomez gave them the lead.

I thought we were fantastic and it was a complete contrast to Saturday....Ferguson showed he is the best midfielder in Scotland.

Your thoughts?????

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Aberdeen

How do you see this one going...Aberdeen looked good last night but I think we can beat them with a big home support .

Your thoughts???

[Andygers]

Rangers 3-0 Aberdeen

Rangers are back where they belong after a good victory over UEFA cup participants Aberdeen. Rangers had a very sluggish first half not creating much although Aberdeen only had one chance in the first half. The Second started with a bang, with Lee McCulloch scoring a 25 yard strike. Rangers picked up the tempo and man of the match Steven Naismith beating one defender and slotting it past the helpless Aberdeen goalkeeper. Then with two minutes to go substitute Kris Boyd taking a great first touch before slamming the ball into the back of the net. First half a little lacklustre, second half great :)

Next up for us East fife in the CIS cup.

[Andygers]

East Fife vs Rangers

Rangers face third division side East Fife in the CIS cup on Wednesday. Rangers should take this pretty comfortably although East Fife knocked out SPL side St Mirren.

I say 4-0 Rangers :)

Your thoughts?????

[Fry36]

Dang Rangers is doing really good. I don't know much about East Fife but I don't see any reason for you guys to not go through in your CL group. I expected more form Stuttgart..

[Andygers]

^ Yeah but it is only one CL game in so far so lets not dismiss Stuttgart's chances yet......There is an Excuse for us to go out, look at our remaining fixtures:

02 Oct- Lyon (A)
23 Oct- Barcelona (H)
07 Nov- Barcelona (A)
27 Nov- Stuttgart (A)
12 Dec- Lyon (H)

I reckon we might take 9 points from these matches but that's speaking as a Rangers fan.

[Fry36]

Barca is going to be a tough away game but Rangers should expect a win in every home game. That's the mentality to get outta the rounds in the CL imo.

Then again I'm a Fenerbahce fan...the hell would I know about getting through CL rounds? :D

[Andygers]

Hey....What are the fourth seeds in the group doing expecting to win every home game.

Fenerbache are in a better position to go through....so don't be so negative.

[Fry36]

With your fans supporting you, and it being your home grounds, you can't be happy with a loss. Maybe "expecting a win EVERY game" like I said might be exaggerating it a bit, but expecting at least a point in home games is nothing impossible. The bigger teams should be hesitant when they come into your grounds, no?

[Andygers]

With your fans supporting you, and it being your home grounds, you can't be happy with a loss. Maybe "expecting a win EVERY game" like I said might be exaggerating it a bit, but expecting at least a point in home games is nothing impossible. The bigger teams should be hesitant when they come into your grounds, no? Yeah I suppose we are quite good at home but people round here are expecting 0 points out of the two Barcelona games. Yeah okay I think they will be a little hesitant but they are experienced enough to take enough....though saying that Rangers did draw with Inter Milan in the CL two seasons ago :)

[Andygers]

East Fife 0-4 Rangers

Rangers go flying through to the next round of the CIS cup with a convincing win over third division club East Fife. Goals from Nacho Novo, Kris Boyd and Carlos Celluar gave us the victory....My prediction was right :) anyone at the match??????

Next up Motherwell away on Saturday.

[Andygers]

Motherwell vs Rangers

Back to SPL and its a tough one against Motherwell at Fir park on Saturday at 12:30 pm. Rangers will be with a full first team against Motherwell, but they won't be easy after a 4-2 victory against Hibs last night at easter road.

I think Rangers will win 2-0 :)

Your thoughts?????

[Andygers]

Motherwell 1-1 Rangers

WTF happened....again for the second away game in a row in the SPL, we fail to win. Motherwell were great but we really should have won, Whittaker was poor and the only good player was Beasley.

Must improve or we will end up second :mad2:

Lets hope Dundee United take something off of Celtic :)

[B-Town Rovers]

Maybe the SPL is evening out a bit. I hope not. Thanks for keeping me posted on Rangers though, I'm going for them this year in the SPL

[Andygers]

^ yeah i hope not as well....Thanks for the support Lucas....Celtic will go top if they win but only on goal difference so that's not so bad :)

[B-Town Rovers]

How much longer until they play one another?

[Andygers]

Around about 2-3 weeks....Good news the game is at Ibrox so that is good.

Look at the Lyon-rangers thread a disaster has happened!!!!

[B-Town Rovers]

I read that, sorry to hear about that man. Can't do anything abut injuries though.

[B-Town Rovers]

bad news...Celtic just scored :(

[Andygers]

^ yep Celtic are leading but what do you expect....they know they can go top if they win.

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Hibs

Rangers take on Hibs at Ibrox on Saturday in the SPL. Hibs the only unbeaten SPL side will be a tough challenge but I think we can beat them.

3-0 Rangers :)

[Andygers]

Rangers 0-1 Hibernian

WTF was that....pathetic I really cannot be bothered talking about the game :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

No way we are winning the league :sad:

[B-Town Rovers]

That was awful.....not much else to say

[Andygers]

yep i agree I was at the game and it was like watching paint dry....Charlie Adam should never play for us again!!!!

[Andygers]

Decided to change the name to each matchday because that will probably make more people talk about the games

Anyway next league match is Celtic at Ibrox. After a horror show against Hibs yesterday we now sit 3rd in the table three points from the top after Celtic (Very Luckily) won against Gretna 2-1. This means the old firm game is now a Must win or we will be 6 points behind Celtic. The thing we need is pace and looking at Celtic today, with pace, we can destroy them. Darcheville should be first pick up front because we had no pace yesterday and were abysmal.

My prediction is 2-0 Rangers :)

Your thoughts????

[~zero_signal~]

Rangers 3-2, but I could be wrong. I've got a link below and apparently it's about a solicitor who rings up and winds up a Celtic fan (it's all a big joke!) but some people say that the fan is actually a Rangers fan. What do you think? I'm confused, but I have to say that this is one of the funniest things I've ever listened to :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKiQ7ppfjQs

[Andygers]

Lol I did hear that, the guy was so annoyed!!!!

As to your prediction 3-2 could happen but I would rather have it more comfortable

[B-Town Rovers]

I'm excited about the Celtic - Rangers game. Both teams are by far the best in the SPL, both struggling though.

[Andygers]

Yeah I must agree both teams look magic at times (Rangers 7-2 Falkirk, Celtic 5-0 Hearts) and poor at others (Hibs 3-2 Celtic, Rangers 0-1 Hibs)

But if you watch us with pace the team are unstoppable but with no pace we are a very poor side. The key to this game is keeping our concentration for 90 minutes because Celtic tend to score in the 90 min

[Andygers]

Damn Allan McGregor could be out for the match after being injured yesterday...he has also pulled out of the Scotland squad :(

[Andygers]

woo I can smell glory, we must win this game to keep up with the pace of the league....Lets hope hibs lose as well!!!!

[B-Town Rovers]

I predictied 4-3 Celtic. I think this will be a high scoring afair.....Hopefully Rangers score more though.

[Andygers]

Lol the last time there was a scoreline like that in an old firm game My dad was still playing pac-man :lol:

[B-Town Rovers]

Mark my words....It'll happen :)

[Andygers]

No it won't happen ;)

[B-Town Rovers]

:)

[Andygers]

Scott Brown is out of the game more than likely for Celtic :)

[Andygers]

Heres how I think we will line up vs Celtic:

----------Mcgregor-------------------

Hutton-----Celluar-----Weir------Papac

Whittaker--Ferguson--Thomson--Novo

------Darcheville---Cousin-----------

Man that line up would kill Celtic except Whittaker I'm still not sure about him. However, what about that front two that would be deadly!!!!!

[Andygers]

Rangers 3-0 Celtic

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Rangers romped home to a 3-0 win against arch rivals Celtic. Celtic were played off the park, Ferguson was outstanding once more and wee Novo grabbed two goals. Also looking at some decisions we could have won 5-0, The penalty claim (defo pen) and the Lee McCullough goal which was wrongly chopped off for offside, later replays showed that he was clearly onside but hey I'm not gonnie moan in such a tremendous occasion. We outplayed them in all areas in the park, Celluar and Weir were great and the midfield ruled the game. Celtic's big players were nowhere to be seen, it just shows that they are a team running scared.

THE CHASE IS ON!!!!!!!!!!

[Andygers]

Interesting match ahead, Dundee United are a strong side and could give us a shock in this match, Darcheville should be back for this match :)

My prediction: Dundee United 0-2 Rangers

[Andygers]

Walter Smith has said the team will mostly stay unchanged from the side that drew 0-0 with Barcelona.

This is good news, this will be a difficult match.

[Andygers]

ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! :mad2: :mad2:

Dundee United 1-0 Rangers HT

We have been terrible...

[Andygers]

Its all over, the game and the title.....

Dundee United 2-1 Rangers FT

[Andygers]

Next match is against Motherwell in the CIS cup......we better win

[Andygers]

The game is tonight:

My prediction- Motherwell 0-1 Rangers

[Andygers]

Here is the team:

GK- McGregor
RB- Hutton
CD- Celluar
CD- Weir
LB- Papac
RM- McCulloch
CM- Ferguson
CM- Thomson
LM- Beasley
CF- Boyd
CF- Novo

YEPEEEEE!!!! 4-4-2 for a change we must win this

[Andygers]

HT Motherwell 0-1 Rangers (Novo) :)

[Andygers]

FT Motherwell 1-2 Rangers (Quinn 91) (Novo 22, Boyd 53)

[Andygers]

This should be an easy one and I'm going (as I go to most home games)

I say 2-0 to the Gers, we beat them 3-0 in their own ground the last time and they were humped by Aberdeen 4-1 tonight.

[CambriaFan]

I'll go Gers 2-0 ICT too - but remember they took 7 points out of 9 against us last season (4/6 at Ibrox) so be cautious. McCulloch and Novo to score :D

[Andygers]

Yes they were our bogey team last year but they are not as good as last year.....Yeah Will The rocket be back for this game????

[ulster21]

6-1 to Rangers

[Andygers]

Lol Ulster are you high???

[Andygers]

Today's the game I can see us wining easily, 2-0 maybe more if we play well!!!

[Vic]

You guys should win this one.

[Andygers]

Yeah we did hammer them 3-0 up there in the first game of the season but they have been our bogey team recently and we only took 1 point from 9 of them last season :(

[Vic]

Ouch that's not a good record. I hope you guys take the 3 points today cause I have picked a Rangers win in the Prediction league :D

[Andygers]

Yeah man the prediction league (Which I am leading :D) I have a Celtic win which I hope does not come true :)

[Vic]

:lol:

I will haunt you down Andy. It will be my new purpose in life to win that Preiction league :D

[Andygers]

Lol yeah I welcome the chase, I will win that league mark my words vic and all other challengers!!!! :lol:

[Vic]

Challengers?

Looks like it's a 2 mens race :lol:

[Andygers]

Yeah but you never know sinter could do something special.

[Vic]

Yeah you're right. You never know with Sinter :D

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-0 Inverness CT

Rangers secured three vital SPL points today after a satisfactory 2-0 win over Inverness. Rangers started with a bang, only forty seconds gone and Kris Boyd scored. He was played through by Nacho Novo and stuck the ball past the Inverness keeper. Rangers then tried to get further in front but it did not materialise. The game was pretty poor up until the middle of the second half when Jean-Claude Darcheville and Daniel Cousin replaced Kris Boyd and Nacho Novo. These two added more pace to the team and within 5 minutes of them coming on Rangers scored again. It was an unlikely source that the goal came from, defender Carlos Celluar latched onto a crossed ball and headed the ball home. Inverness were finished at this point and Rangers had chances to go further in front but they couldn't take them and the game ended 2-0. Slow paced performance but three points is three points!!!

WATP!!!!!

[Vic]

Damn couldn't they just have scored one more!!

You got away with the right prediction again Andy :mad:

[Andygers]

Yeah also I know who is top ect before tomorrows games ;)

[Andygers]

Falkirk vs Rangers

Big match for us as every match is, the last time we met it was 7-2 to us and we must win (maybe not by that much) this time. No Nacho Novo for us as he picked up an injury during a bounce match against Middlesbrough. It's at 12:30 on Saturday. I think we can win 2-0 :)

[Andygers]

Falkirk 1-3 Rangers

Good professional performance by Rangers, not great but good enough. Goals coming from Celluar, JCD and Boyd :thumbsup: keep it up boys!!!!

WATP!!!!

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Kilmarnock

Must win game for Rangers, I am going hopefully we will not have another European hangover. I reckon we will win 3-0, boyd hat-trick :)

[Andygers]

Lets hope Buffel and Gow get a game today!!!

Anyone else going to or watching the game????

[Andygers]

I am away to go to the game now!!!!!

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-0 Kilmarnock

Rangers moved within a point of SPL leaders Celtic as they over powered Ayrshire club Kilmarnock. Goals came from Jean-Claude Darcheville and Steven Whittaker. The referee was appalling and if not the game would have ended 5-0 to Rangers!!!! Good win though :)

WATP!!!!!!

[CambriaFan]

^^ Yeah - happy with the win :D...killie are a good team
what do you think of whittaker andy? i'm not sure if he's good enough for a regular game but he's one for the future and with beasley out, him and naismith will get more opportunities...

[Andygers]

^^ Yeah - happy with the win :D...killie are a good team
what do you think of whittaker andy? i'm not sure if he's good enough for a regular game but he's one for the future and with beasley out, him and naismith will get more opportunities... Whittaker was great yesterday considering he was played at left back and his goal was amazing, I think he will get more of a chance in the future.

Were you at the game yesterday Cambria?????

[Andygers]

Heres the highlights of the Killie game

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Hearts

We need a performance and a few goals to make up for Wednesday, I demand that we go for Hearts and destroy them.

Rangers 4-0 Hearts

[Andygers]

Maybe smith will give Buffel and Burke a chance tomorrow.....but I demand that we take Hearts apart because Wednesday was humiliating.

[Andygers]

This could be a possible team for the match:

------------------McGregor-------------------
-----Hutton Cuellar Weir Whittaker------
--McCulloch Ferguson Thomson Naismith--
--------------Boyd Darcheville---------------

Any thoughts???

[Andygers]

I just hope to god that we take Hearts out, I just can't bear to think about the Lyon game. We must get behind the boys today....sadly I cannot be there :sad:

[Andygers]

I will try and get a link for the game on Sopcast or WMP for people not going to the game like me....

[Andygers]

No luck yet with the streams but I will give you some at 2:30pm GMT......

[Andygers]

Damn they are all offline.....:sad:

[Andygers]

Team news:

GK- McGregor
DL- Whittaker
DC- Weir
DC- Celluar
DR- Hutton
ML- Adam
MC- Hendami
MC- Ferguson
MR- Naismith
ST- Boyd
ST- McCulloch

Sounds good, 4-4-2 finally!!!! We should win or else.

[Andygers]

GOOOOOAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

Rangers 1-0 Hearts (McCulloch)

and Adam hit the bar!!!!!

[Andygers]

F**K

1-1 :mad2:

[Andygers]

Come on Rangers this is terrible!!!!!!!

[Andygers]

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rangers 2-1 Hearts (McCulloch again!!!)

we have been poor though..........

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-1 Hearts

Phew, that's all I can say. Now I am going to save my moaning for the rant-zone, so lets look at the positives. Well three points is three points and Lee McCulloch scored a double and.....erm....um...emmm. It sounded shocking and we must improve or they will win the league again.

WATP

[Andygers]

Aberdeen vs Rangers

I can't wait to get a hold of these buggers. We defeated them 3-0 at Ibrox the last time we played them and we must hammer them this time. Aberdeen's form has picked up over the last few weeks, despite the 3-0 loss to Motherwell on Saturday, and we must be on our guard but I believe we will defeat them and add the fact that Aberdeen have a do or die match in the Uefa cup on Thursday, that must make us favourites.

I reckon we will win 2-0 :)

[Andygers]

Here is how I think we should line up:

--------------McGregor------------------------

--Hutton-----Celluar----Weir------Whittaker----

--McCulloch---Ferguson----Thomson----Burke--

-------------JCD-------Boyd--------------------

This could work because JCD and Boyd are both wanting to impress (for different reasons) and they would be deadly. The midfield is not the greatest but would work effectively and the defence would be the same except put Whittaker in for Papac because Whittaker looked great against Kilmarnock at left-back.

[Andygers]

What a great Christmas present for us if we beat them :)

[Andygers]

With Celtic playing hibs I wonder if we will have the chance of going 10 points clear after the 2 games we play in hand :)

[Andygers]

I wonder if wee Novo is fit for this game......doubt it but he is a classy player and I hope he can get back into the team soon.

[Andygers]

God Aberdeen were amazing tonight, we better be on top form to take all three points on Sunday!!!!

[Andygers]

Aberdeen 1-1 Rangers

Damn Rangers controlled this game but couldn't get the win. I suppose its not a bad result.

[CambriaFan]

^^ Yeah - its good to get up there, get a point and get out without too much damage....

[Andygers]

Sorry for not updating this guys, I was Busy over the festive period. However I'm back now :)

[Andygers]

Hibs vs Rangers

God I hate playing against Hibs, they seem to get results vs the old firm. I just hope to god that we get something against them.

I will say 2-1 Rangers (maybe a bit hopeful)

[CambriaFan]

Hibs 1-2 Rangers

This result really flattered Hibs and no - I'm not being biased. The first half saw plenty of chances for the Gers with two players who have been on the fringes this season - Burke and Naismith - combining to give the latter a tap in for the opener.

After half time little change with Hibs missing Fletcher and looking pretty poor. Cousin doubled the lead with a thunderbolt after a decent passing move. Rangers then just kept the ball well with about 70% second period possession before Morrocan sub Zemama (who I think is a promising young forward) scored a good consolation that made the last couple of minutes more nervy than they should have been for Smith's men.

But most importantly, we return to the top of the SPL with Celtic playing Gretna at Parkhead today.

[Andygers]

Good assessment of the game Cambria :thumbsup:

The game was so one sided in the second half, i thought it was Gretna we were playing not Hibs. (though Gretna gave a good account of themselves at Celtic park.) Some of the passing was fantastic, especially when you look at some of our recent games. Cousin didn't do anything today but yet got the winning goal (what a goal it was as well!!!!) I thought Burke and Hendami were brilliant and I think should both start vs Celtic. Good performance and sets us up nicely for the Old Firm game which is on Wednesday. There are a few hours left to discuss this game before I change it to the old firm thread.

[Andygers]

Celtic vs Rangers

Well here we are again, its time to battle with them once again. Although this time the game is getting the attention it deserves. I believe that we must stop Celtic from launching high balls into the box and we must stop MacDonald from getting the ball to his feet because he is prone to put the ball in the back of the net. I think that we will go 4-5-1 and just hold them back then release the attack, with Darcheville leading the charge :)

I say 1-0 Rangers :)

COME ON THE GERS!!!!! LETS GET RIPPED INTO THEM!!!!!!!!!

WATP!!!!!!!!!!!

[CambriaFan]

Celtic are struggling at the moment so the temptation is to say go all out for three points (which would be fantastic :D) but I'd settle for a draw. You're right Andy - Darcheville must play and Burke could give the Celtic defence the run-around.

I'll go Celtic 1-1 Rangers

P.S. Always good to see a Hutton-McGeady face off. They're not the best of friends and sparks should fly :)...

[Andygers]

^ Yeah but I'm not sure a draw would be the best we could achieve going to parkhead. I think we could win, even if Balde is playing for Celtic.

Damn I would have loved to have seen Hutton vs McGeady but McGeady will start his suspension for his yellow card count against us.

[Andygers]

Lol i just hope we destroy Sellik at Parkheed :D (They are probably the only team that can't say their own name right)

I just want to see wee chesney crack under the pressure after we cuff them 3-0.

[CambriaFan]

^^ Oh yeah - i forgot about McGeady....oh well thats better for us :D

If Sellik ;) lose then the league is over and its bye bye Strachan

[Andygers]

The match has been postponed as a mark of respect for Phil O'Donnell.

Heres the link:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/7165976.stm

[CambriaFan]

^^ I think it was the right thing to do - a good way to show how the loss has affected Scottish football

[Andygers]

I'm not sure but the SPL said that they only postponed games that were "Directly involved" with Phil O'Donnell's death. Now In my opinion the only games that should have been postponed in that case were:

Hibs vs Motherwell- For obvious reasons.
Gretna vs St Mirren- Because the game was due to be played at Fir park where the incident took place.
Dundee United vs Hearts- Because Dundee United players saw him die!!! FFS they provided the opposition and they were all gathered around him when he was unconscious, that is why the game shouldn't have went ahead.

Now to my main point, this may sound a little twisted and I will be in the minority but I believe that Celtic played this to their advantage. They were in a terrible state at the moment and we were odds on to beat them easily and then this came along and they grabbed it with both hands and now I think they have the upper hand by letting their new signings settle in time for the game. Now I know that Walter Smith agreed to the postponement but i believe he was forced to, imagine if he said no the media would have torn him up and left him embarrassed and ashamed. This is only my opinion and I doubt that many people will agree with it.

[CambriaFan]

^^ Yeah I too don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but the postponement does help Celtic because;
1) McGeady will not be suspended
2) Boruc could be back
3) They should have recovered from their woeful form
4) Hutton may have left Ibrox :sad:
5) Celtic should have signed a couple of half decent defenders and possibly Faddy

However, the rational side of me says this was morally the correct thing to do. What annoys me though, is how 3 games were allowed to go ahead - especially Dundee Utd who as you said Andy saw the poor guy die!!! When the Sevilla player died, I think all matches in Spain were called off for 2 weeks....we should have done the same :mad:

[Andygers]

I agree with you however that there shouldn't have been any games at all.

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-0 Dundee United

Ya belter!!!!! What a great game of football by Rangers :) We were super and if we continue to play like this we will win the league. Goals came from Naismith and Ferguson but Boyd missed a penalty :( but Novo made his return after coming on around 60 mins in.

One final thing....Tell all the tims you know that were TOP OF THE LEAGUE AND THERE NO!!!!!!!!!! :D :D

[Andygers]

Rangers vs East Stirling

This has got to be an easy win or there is something up with us, a lot of youth players will be played.

I say Rangers 6-0 East Stirling :)

[Andygers]

Not another bloody postponement, this time for a waterlogged pitch!!!!

This could mean the Celtic game would have to be moved....again!!!!! I'm getting angry with all of these games being called off.

[Andygers]

Gretna vs Rangers

Hooray!!!! Finally some football and a team that we should beat.....easily.

I say Gretna 0-3 Rangers :)

[Andygers]

ICT 0-1 Rangers

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! JCD has saved us once again......WOOHOO!!!

I am so happy.....Glory is coming our way :)

[Andygers]

Rangers 4-0 St Mirren

Rangers eventually stormed past a deflated St Mirren side at Ibrox earlier today. Rangers started pretty poorly and up until the first goal they looked like a team lost. Not creating much and trailing on the shots on goal count Rangers finally took the game by the scruff of the neck and scored, the goal scored by Chris Burke started Rangers up but Rangers were about to be gifted the game when Will Haining received his second yellow card of the game and a red card. Rangers then went 2-0 up when Kris Boyd hammered the ball home on 33 minutes and the third came form Steven Whittaker just before the break. However Rangers started the second half as poorly as the second and the only other goal of the game came for Steven Whittaker.

Good result for us, Your thoughts????

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-0 Hearts

The football gods have spoken and they have spoken well of Rangers. I say this because Rangers are through to the CIS cup final. Goals from Barry Ferguson and Jean-Claude Darcheville.

I tell you this, the drought is about to end and it will flood and flood all over Celtic. A treble may be on the way......:)

[Andygers]

Hibernian 0-0 Rangers

Sorry about the lateness of this post but I was busy yesterday, so here goes.

Rangers were frustrated in the 5th round of the Scottish cup by Hibs at Easter road yesterday. Rangers were the far better team in the first half, with the Hibs goalkeeper having to make a few brilliant saves, most particularly Barry Ferguson's attempt on goal after 14 minutes. However Rangers were almost made to pay by Hibs second half performance and there were a few occasions where Steven Fletcher and co could have made us pay. Then with around 5 minutes to go Rangers keeper Allan McGregor was sent off for a challenge that at first looked a straight red but after second view it was clear that Allan McGregor got a touch to the ball. Rangers under some confusion brought off the wrong player to replace the keeper, Rangers wanted Chris Burke to come off but ended up having Brahim Hendani come off for Neil Alexander but he survived the game and so did Rangers. The winner of the replay between these two will meet either Livingston or Partick Thistle.

IMHO we were very lucky to escape with a 0-0 draw but at least were still in with chance of the treble.....unlike some teams :rolleyes:

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-0 Falkirk

Wasn't at this game so can't really tell you much about it all I heard was we were pretty poor. Goals came from Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith.

[Andygers]

Kilmarnock vs Rangers

This is a must win match, considering Celtic won 3-0 yesterday and closed the gap to 1 point. I think we will win this by 3-0 :)

Your thoughts??

[ulster21]

anytime you play Kilmarnock it is a must win... because they are soo bad.

[Andygers]

Kilmarnock 0-2 Rangers

Rangers made hard work of defeating Kilmarnock at Rugby Park today, Rangers could have opened the scoring after only a minute when Jean-Claude Darcheville was right through on goal but squandered the chance. It took a pretty lackluster Rangers side 26 minutes to open the scoring, with a corner that was played into the box and eventually reached Carlos Celluar's who looping header went in the back of the net. The game then looked as though it had died, with Kilmarnock making the most of the situation. Simon Ford then had a decent chance for Killie, with his header from the free kick just going over the bar. However just as it looked as though Rangers were going to settle for a draw, they were awarded a penalty which Kris Boyd converted and wrapped the game up. TBH this wasn't the most vintage performance from Rangers but at least were still top of the league.

[nb-legenda]

Rangers is unstoppable!

[Andygers]

^ Yeah 8 clean sheets in a row isn't bad going for a team that were in demise last year!!

[Andygers]

Hearts vs Rangers

I have a good feeling about this game but I feel we have to be careful as the last time we played them at Tynecastle we got battered 4-2...but i think we will win 2-0 tonight :)...................Lets hope Inverness can do us a favor tonight ;).

[ulster21]

Hearts vs Rangers

I have a good feeling about this game but I feel we have to be careful as the last time we played them at Tynecastle we got battered 4-2...but i think we will win 2-0 tonight :)...................Lets hope Inverness can do us a favor tonight ;).

Don't get your hopes up:ronaldo:

I think Rangers have the league wrapped up at this point

[Andygers]

Hearts 0-4 Rangers

Rangers certainly took capital gains tonight at Tynecastle. Rangers and Hearts started the game in a furiously paced fashion but it was soon shown who was the more dominant of the two, when Rangers started to worry the Hearts defence. The most noticeable chance came when Rangers whipped in a corner that was brilliantly saved by Hearts goalkeeper Steve Banks. Rangers continued to threat the Hearts goal and the breakthrough came after Barry Ferguson played a beautiful ball into the feet of Jean-Claude Darcheville who drilled the ball home. He then scored again just before half time, when he miss hit the ball but it ended up in the back of the net. However he was subbed at half time with a feared injury but there was no doubt what so ever that Rangers were still in complete control and his sub Nacho Novo, tapped the ball into the back of the net and once more he scored with a flashy goal with his heal. Rangers were outstanding tonight, watch out Celtic ;). My man of the match was Steve Davis.

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Aberdeen

I really think we will win this one by a few goals, lets hope Davis and Novo get a start!!! I think the score will be Rangers 3-0 Aberdeen :).

[13Ballack13]

Novo plays soo good for rangers he like always scores for dem... i think Rangers will win 4-0, aberdeen isnt very good...

[Andygers]

^ No they aren't very good at all but they always raise their game against us, just for rivalries sake!!!

[13Ballack13]

i mean if bayern smashed dem... Rangers should smash dem too hahha

[Andygers]

Yeah I suppose and the fact we have gone 16 games unbeaten sort of helps us but Aberdeen always turn up against us because we hate each other!!!

[13Ballack13]

lol yea, u guys are rivals in the SPl, but Aberdeen can be sneaky some times iv watched a couple of dere games on tv dey dont really work as a team dat much....

[Andygers]

Yeah those sneaky sheep, they held you guys to a draw, as did they with us. It will be tough match but I believe we will win.

[13Ballack13]

yeah, why? because oliver kahn was in net, what happened when aberdeen came to germany we smashed those fools 5-1 i knew it was gonna happen as soon as i heard kahn is in between the post...

[Andygers]

^ Yeah but still you can't just blame the goalie for that!!

[13Ballack13]

lol w/e i blame the goalie cuz he was too slow that game.... kahn did the job well in germany... letting in only 1 goal... which he couldnt save ...

[Andygers]

Rangers 3-1 Aberdeen

Rangers continued a fantastic run in the SPL, making it 11 wins in a row today after winning against a resilient Aberdeen side. Rangers started in a sluggish pace and when Allan McGregor had to make crucial saves in the first 15 minutes the alarm bells started to ring and they had every right to when Steve Lovell was left unmarked during a corner and lashed a header home to make it 1-0. At this point my heart sank, it was terrible but Rangers have something about them and came back when Christian Daily beautifully back heeled the ball into the net sending the home support into raptures. In the second half Rangers, played better and Charlie Adam headed the ball home and the fans could sense something and when Nacho Novo was impeded in the area, Kris Boyd scored from the rebound from the penalty. It was three points that we were really needing......BRING ON THE BREMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

[13Ballack13]

lol wow what a nice set play by aberdeen to score a great goooal.... dont except rangers to score these kind of goals on bremen because it wont happen...

[Andygers]

^ You never know we have hit the best for of the season, with 11 wins in the league in a row and have been unbeaten in like 20 games in all competitions. Remember nobody gave us a chance in Lyon but look what we did there because we are the people!!!!!

[13Ballack13]

yea dats true^^ i dont remember what happened in lyon i heard u guys had success dere or some thing like dat... Rangers play great i remember watching when you guys faced red star from serbia last minute goal by rangers i was soo happy that game....

[Andygers]

The Lyon game away from home ended 3-0 to Rangers and that Red Star game Novo scored the winner, I felt so good after that :)

[13Ballack13]

hahah i remember when bayern faced red star in Serbia.... bayern was down 2-1 under 5 mins to go and we scored 3 goals man it was gloooooooooory..................... i felt soooooooo happpy... if u saw the highlights our free kick set play worked out really well kroos to klose n boom in the net with a header....

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Hibs

Replay match tomorrow, I hope we win this comfortably but it might be a bit of a struggle. I say Rangers 3-1 Hibs :)

[13Ballack13]

yeah, i think rangers will win easily probably like 3-0 or 2-1 i say.......

[Andygers]

^ I don't know Hibs are a good team but we should still beat them.

[Andygers]

Half time:- Rangers 1-0 Hibs

[cartel]

The Rangers, the one and only power in scotland.

cheers!

[13Ballack13]

wait is hibs a second division team of Scotland or no?
anyways who scored for rangers.....

[Andygers]

wait is hibs a second division team of Scotland or no?
anyways who scored for rangers..... No they're not a second division team they are a strong SPL side who usually finish 4th/5th each season. Chris Burke scored for Rangers, 6 changes have been made in this game from the side that beat Bremen.

[Andygers]

The Rangers, the one and only power in scotland.

cheers! Thanks buddy for the support!!! We could start a Rangers-GS friendship here lol!! Cheers to you too :thumbsup:

[Andygers]

Damn it Nacho Novo has been sent off, 10 mins to go.

[Andygers]

Rangers 1-0 Hibs

Phew!!! We finally did it, it sounded quite dangerous for us but we survived!!! 20 games unbeaten now!!!!

[ulster21]

Thanks buddy for the support!!! We could start a Rangers-GS friendship here lol!! Cheers to you too :thumbsup:

I'm more of a Kayserispor fan

[ulster21]

Was this meant to be an insult :madgrin:

[13Ballack13]

no i was just asking if hibs were a second division team u fool..........
cuz i thought they would play the second division for the cup..........

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Dundee United

So its finally here, the first chance for silverware in three years. The opponents Dundee United are well placed in the league and fighting for Europe so we will have to be wary. Hopefully we will do this on the road to the quadruple!!!!

COME ON YOU GERS!!!!! :first:

Come and show your support Gers fans!!!!!

[Andygers]

1hr 40 mins till kick-off I can hardly contain myself, this is it we must do it now!!!!!!!!!

COME ON THE GERS!!!!

[Andygers]

COME ON YOU GERS!!!! WE DID IT!!! THE TREBLE IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :first:

[Andygers]

So any opinions on the game, I thought it was a poor performance but we won and thats all that matters. Boyd is a legend and so is McGregor!!!!!

[13Ballack13]

great win for the rangers well done.....

[Andygers]

^ thanks hopefully we will win the treble and then meet Bayern in the UEFA cup final!!!

[13Ballack13]

thats if u win the next two games in the uefa cup lol, bayern will hopefully take a sh--t on getafe from the spanish league :)

[Andygers]

^ Be wary of Getafe they are a decent side ;)

[13Ballack13]

nah Bayern will be ready for them, bayern is gonna attack attack attack, at dere goal until the ball goes in :)
Bayerns Counter attack will own Getafe so no worries :)

[CambriaFan]

COME ON YOU GERS!!!! WE DID IT!!! THE TREBLE IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :first:

correction: i think you mean quadruple andy ;)

[Andygers]

correction: i think you mean quadruple andy ;) Yeah lol....I hope we do :)

[ulster21]

I'd trade the Uefa Cup for the CIS & Scottish cup's

[13Ballack13]

I'd trade the Uefa Cup for the CIS & Scottish cup's

keep on dreaming, you guys wont win the uefa cup, bayern is taking it ;);)

[ulster21]

keep on dreaming, you guys wont win the uefa cup, bayern is taking it ;);)

First they have to get through a tough, scrappy Getafe squad

Overconfidence has ruined many teams. Alot of Bayern players may feel they are too good for the Uefa Cup and lose focus.

[Andygers]

Overconfidence has ruined many teams. Alot of Bayern players may feel they are too good for the Uefa Cup and lose focus. Fantastic point Ulster!!! believe me Getafe are not an easy team to beat, they have beaten both Barcelona and Real Madrid this season (if my memory serves me correctly) so if you guys think you will just roll them over you might be in for a surprise.

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Hibs

Cometh the game, cometh the heroes. Well thats what I hope the case will be tomorrow as Rangers take on an in-form Hibs at Ibrox. In league meetings this season between each other both teams have won once, Hibs won 1-0 at Ibrox and Rangers won 2-1 at Easter road. Rangers will have David Weir, Jean Claude Darcheville and of course captain Barry Ferguson all returning for this match after missing the game in midweek. Hibs have midfield duo Brian Kerr and Guillame Beuzelin missing for the game.

This will be bloody difficult but lets get out there and do this!!!!!!!!!!

[Andygers]

Rangers 2-1 Hibs

What was that!!! At least it was a win but the performance must be better next time when the great unwashed turn up.

COME ON YOU GERS!!!!

[Andygers]

Discuss the Rangers-Scum match here.

Bring it on!!!!!!!! Thats all I've got to say.

[Andygers]

Rangers vs Celtic

Well here it is, the most exciting game of the season and it will be a stormer. I really hope to god we end their reign at the top after two long years of waiting for the title....Come on the gers!!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!!

[ulster21]

Judgment day.....I predict a 1-1 tie... still good enough for Rangers to get the title.

[13Ballack13]

i think it will be 2-1 rangers.......

[Andygers]

All I have to say is........

YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS

:first: :) :D :smoking:

I am soo happy!!!!!!!!!

[13Ballack13]

well done rangers, celtic deserved to lose those fools haha.....

[nb-legenda]

:first: Rangers

:second: Celtic

I'm going to watch the repeat of this game tomorrow!

[ulster21]

Congrats to Rangers on the SPL Championship!!

[CambriaFan]

:D :D :D

Quality result that should deliver the SPL title back to Ibrox :D. First half was a bit tight but luckily all Celtic's chances fell to Brown who couldn't score a goal to save himself. Great goal by Thomson and the second half was just a really efficient, professional performance for the Gers with Weir, Cuellar and Ferguson in excellent form. Strachan's days are numbered...

[Ibrox 1873]

The game at Tannadice will be both huge for us and United. We are going for the SPL Title and Dundee Utd are going for Europe. It will be a tough game for us because our record at Tannadice has been very poor, United gave us one hell of a match in the cup final and we were lucky to scrap the victory on penaltys. If Celtic win tomorrow, the gap will be closed to 3 points, if we win we increase it to 6 points, however if Celtic LOSE and we win, it will be a 9 point gap and the title will only be a few miles away. I would put Whittaker at RB since Broadfoot had a poor game last night against Sporting, watching him chasing a Sporting counter attack was murder, he was running like a car at a 20 school zone, he will need to watch himself when the oppenents are on the counter. I would play a 4 4 2 with JCD and Cousin up front, they could do some serious damage.

My Rangers team to play against Dundee United

Mcgregor

Whittaker
Weir
Cuellar
Papac

Davis
Ferguson
Thomson
McCulloch

JCD
Cousin

My prediction:

Dundee United 0 Rangers 2

Cuellar and McCulloch to score

[Andygers]

^ I seriously don't think that we will play 4-4-2 in any other game this season but apart from that I think you have pretty much summed up what most gers fans think.

P.S. Nice sig :thumbsup:

[Ibrox 1873]

We were very brave getting 3 equalisers today. Our defending at the 3 United goals were shocking, cannot believe Kalvenes had that much space when he scored the opener. Carlos was very unlucky scoring an own goal, something bad always happens to a footballer. I was very suprised that Weir managed to score from a set piece because most of the balls from corners and freekicks have been terrible, Adam hopeless at it, Davis needs improving with corners, Thomson needs more height, Ferguson can hit a decent one, we are missing Beasley for the corners. As soon as Hunt scored that goal I switched the tele off and headed up stairs and I put the radio on to listen to the rest of the game. Boyd should have been on the bench, he had a very quiet game despite he scored. Most important thing we are 7 points clear and we have a game in hand.

My MOTM

David Weir

[Andygers]

^ What a nerve racking game, I thought we were going to concede again near the end. But we showed great spirit to come back!!!!

WATP!!!!! :)

[Andygers]

Partick Thistle 0-2 Rangers

Haven't saw any of the game but it did sound pretty comfortable, goals from Novo and Burke. Partick missed a penalty but so did we!!! So its all good for now!!!

[Andygers]

Celtic vs Rangers

(Cue dramatic music)

This is it, this is our chance to finish this mob off once and for all. We must win and claim the title as ours. If we do then we can concentrate on Europe and the Scottish cup. I just hope to god we do the business and not give them a slight chance to come back into the title race. We will play the way we usually do against them, dragging them in and then destroying them on the counter attack.

This is the team that I exepct to play:

------------McGregor-----------------------

Broadfoot----Celluar---Weir------Papac-----

McCulloch--Hendami--Ferguson--Dailly--Davis

------------JCD--------------------------

All I can say now is...COME ON YOU GERS!!!

[ulster21]

St.Johnstone then Queen of the South.....Rangers have the Scottish Cup wrapped up...........As for the Celtic match this week I see a 1-1 draw occuring.

[Andygers]

^ Hmmm 1-1, I would rather we win 1-0 but a draw will still do.

[Andygers]

COME ON RANGERS!!! LETS DO THIS TONIGHT!!!!!!

and send timmy packing......:D

I can't wait, so nervous.

[Vic]

huge game, good luck tonight man!!!

[Andygers]

^ Yeah it is a massive game, I just hope we do this and basically sow up the title then we can concentrate on the Scottish Cup and the UEFA Cup!!!

[13Ballack13]

i think that it will be 1-1 because celtic are a very strong side at home, and its pretty hard to beat them infront of their fans.........

[Andygers]

^ Well the last time we played them away we won 1-0 :)

[I Am Legend]

Nakamura scores. 1-0 to Celtic.

[Andygers]

Celtic 2-1 Rangers

F**K OFF!!!!

I don't feel like talking at all. They won in the last minute FFS!!! :mad2:

[I Am Legend]

Celtic 2-1 Rangers

F**K OFF!!!!

I don't feel like talking at all. They won in the last minute FFS!!! :mad2:


Oh well Andy, not to worry as Rangers are still in pole position.

[Andygers]

Yes but it kills me when we get beaten by them, in the last minute under any circumstances, pole postion or not.

[I Am Legend]

Yes but it kills me when we get beaten by them, in the last minute under any circumstances, pole postion or not.


Put it into perspective. Realistically Rangers can still win 4 trophies this season.

Realistically Celtic can win zero trophies. :lol:

[Andygers]

^ Although Realistically this gives Celtic a massive confidence boost coming into the title run in, they win on Saturday they go top.

[13Ballack13]

Now you see how it feels to lose Andy, Rangers cant win all the games man, shit happens, bayern loses but i move on, But yeah i know it feels to lose in the last minute of a game, just like when italy beat Germany in the dieing secs man, i was so freakin pissed that day but what can you do, thats the beauty of soccer where special nights happen for teams you hate.....

[Ibrox 1873]

Gutted absoulutly gutted :( :worried: Celtic were fantanstic in the opening 25 minutes. They had about 6 or 7 corners in a row, and then Nakamura with a stunning 35 yard shot. Then Nacho Novo scores a goal which was against the run of play IMO. Then Cuellar with a moment of madness, great save from the Nakamura shot, but it resulted to a Celtic penalty and a red card for Carlos. But credit to Mcgregor for the save from Mcdonald. Then Celtic do what they do best, score in the last bloody minute! :cry:

But the main talking point of tonight is the scenes which happened during and after the match. Mcgregor is getting treatment, the club doctor gets hit by a coin. Before the end, Samaras has a tussle at Ferguson. Then after the game the fights between Mcmanus and Ferguson and Weir and Caldwell. Weir and Caldwell have both recieved red cards (I believe) But serious problem is, for the next Old Firm game, No Cuellar, No Weir, No Thomson,

WE ARE DEAD

I can still see us win the league though, but it will not be easy.

Celluar will be a big miss and Mcgregor is out :worried:

WE ARE DEAD I would normally delete this but you are sadly 100% correct...No McGregor, No Celluar, No Thomson....:sad:

[ulster21]

:smash: Classic Celtic match with them pulling a win in extra time......however we still have 2 games up on Celtic...we should still win the league.

[ulster21]

yes and hopefully Aberdeen do us a turn on Saturday!!!

Hopefully...however if Celtic wins this weekend then beats us next week it will definately get a little nerve-racking.

[Andygers]

^ It will make it nerve wracking but remeber we will still be 4 points clear if we win our games in hand.

[Ibrox 1873]

Scottish Cup Semi against St Johnstone next, they will be up for it, it could be thier games of thier lives, lets hope they dont do what Queen of the South done against Aberdeen, win 4-3. I think we will rest quite a few players since we are playing Fiorentina this Thursday. I think we will only win 2-0. Burke and Naismith to score.

[Andygers]

Yes it is going to be a hard game I hope we are up for it!!!!

[Andygers]

Rangers vs St Johnstone

Well whats the general feeling about this game???

I think that we will shock by winning by a bigger margin than expected because we got a big kick up the a**e on Wednesday and Walter will not let another performance like that happen again.

I say Rangers 3-0 St Johnstone :)

[Andygers]

I am heading to the game in about an hour anyone else going?

[nb-legenda]

How did Johnstone get to the semis??

82' and still 0-0.

[nb-legenda]

oh yeah! extra time 1-1 and Rangers wins it in penalties! They're ahead to the finals!

[Sema]

Nevermind, Can't beat Nermin to a post, lol.

[I Am Legend]

I am a little alarmed at Rangers form of the last week or so, it has dipped. They need to pick it up for one final push.

[Andygers]

Rangers 1-1 St Johnstone

Friggin' cheesecake!!! :mad:

What the hell was that!! We couldn't shoot at all, it was almost as though they were scared to score.

Cousin, GET A F**KING MOVE ON!!!!

Anyway I am happy that the quad is still on.

That is all that matters

[I Am Legend]

That is all that matters


Agreed. I was just a bit concerned that their form seems to be dipping a bit. I don't want them doing an Arsenal on us!

[Andygers]

Ulster, that bombsacre today frightened me. We have not been the same team over the last few weeks and I am scared for the SPL.

[ulster21]

Agreed. I was just a bit concerned that their form seems to be dipping a bit. I don't want them doing an Arsenal on us!

Legend I did not expect to see you on here today :lol:

I won't even say anything, that game was punishment enough!!

[Andygers]

Agreed. I was just a bit concerned that their form seems to be dipping a bit. I don't want them doing an Arsenal on us! Exactly my point also, I would just hate it if we blew it now!!

Btw Legend, sorry about the derby game today :worried:

[ulster21]

Ulster, that bombsacre today frightened me. We have not been the same team over the last few weeks and I am scared for the SPL.

I agree, yet I still think we have the SPL wrapped up....I see a draw coming against Celtic next week and that should be fine.

Yea, things don't look as good as they did a couple of weeks ago.

[I Am Legend]

Legend I did not expect to see you on here today :lol:

I won't even say anything, that game was punishment enough!!

Tell me about it! I am glad i am not home at this tragic time. :lol:

[Andygers]

I won't even say anything, that game was punishment enough!! I know it was appauling but I think we can pick ourselves up for the Fiorentina game and win it!!

[ulster21]

I know it was appauling but I think we can pick ourselves up for the Fiorentina game and win it!!

I was talking about the Bham v. Villa match but Rangers were awful as well

[Andygers]

^ Lol I know now but yes it applies for both :)

[13Ballack13]

Well done Rangers, at least you won the game even though you didn't play that great as you usually do, hopefully you guys will win the scottish cup, who you guys facing in the finals?

[ulster21]

Well done Rangers, at least you won the game even though you didn't play that great as you usually do, hopefully you guys will win the scottish cup, who you guys facing in the finals?

Queen of the South...they play in the Scottish First Division...should be an easy win

[Andygers]

^ We face Queen of the south in the final, they are a first division side and they beat Aberdeen 4-3 in the semi finals.

Edit: Ulster beat me to it.

[I Am Legend]

I was talking about the Bham v. Villa match but Rangers were awful as well

Birmingham were NOT awful. They were not that good. :lol:

Naismith set for lengthy lay-off
Steven Naismith was injured at Hampden on Sunday
Naismith was injured at Hampden on Sunday

Rangers forward Steven Naismith may not play again this season after damaging his knee in Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final win over St Johnstone.

Chris Burke was also hurt during the game at Hampden but his ankle problem is not as bad as first feared.

The winger will definitely miss Thursday's Uefa Cup semi-final first leg clash against Fiorentina at Ibrox.

Allan McGregor, Lee McCulloch, Charlie Adam are injured with the latter two not expected to play again this term.

Goalkeeper McGregor has been diagnosed with "a significant ankle injury", after landing awkwardly during last week's 2-1 defeat at Celtic Park.

However, no timescale has been set on a possible comeback for the Scotland international.

DaMarcus Beasley remains sidelined as he battles back from knee ligament damage sustained in November but the USA winger hopes to return before the campaign is over.


Man this looks not good, your list of Injured players is getting longer and longer!

[Andygers]

Yep its because we are playing in three competitions and have played well over 50 games so far this season with 11 remaning before the end of the season!!!

[cartel]

hell . . you really have a long season!

[Andygers]

Yes we do!!!

Its going to be tough but I hope we can do it!!

[Andygers]

Celtic vs Rangers

Well here it is the last old firm game of the season and we must win this to wrap it all up, we could have done it last time but we just didn't show the heart or passion, now is the time we must do it and I am confident we will.

I say Celtic 0-1 Rangers :)

[ulster21]

I'm hoping for a draw at least but I think this will be a 2-1 win for Celtic :mad2:

[Andygers]

^ Acht the defeat the last time only happened because Celtic were so much more determined than us. This time we will be more deterimined than them, Walter even said so today.
