Madjid Bougherra is now a Ranger
By: j |It’s time to welcome Madjid Bougherra to the mighty Rangers of Glasgow as he is on his way over
from Charlton Athletic for £2.5m. Being straight honest with you, I thought he was heading to West Brom or Sunderland and this is a great surprise. The powerful twenty-five year-old defender did a excellent job for Alan [...]
leaders do not panic
By: j |I’m not much for sugar-coating things and frankly in putting together a review of todays Champions League qualifying match FBK Kaunas is one of the easiest blog entries I could make. I’m going to step outside of my “blogging identity” and venture into my real world (what…the internet isn’t real?) where this sport has been [...]
Champions League qualifier v FBK Kaunas
By: j |Full-time – Rangers 0 FBK Kaunas 0.
Tactically this puts us in a very tough position and now must win in Lithuania to advance.
90 minute: 3 minutes of added time. Everyone must push forward !!!
88 minute: Andrius Velicka and Kris Boyd are playing quite aggressively but not getting a clear shot. Kaunas is an absolute defensive [...]
injury report for Champions League qualifier v FBK Kaunas
By: j |With Barry Ferguson and Carlos Cuellar out for this Wednesday’s Champions League qualifying match versus Lithuania’s FBK Kaunas, Walter Smith was pleasantly surprised to announce that both Kevin Thomson (knee) and Lee McCulloch (throat infection) have been deemed fit to play after missing the friendly against the Raith Rovers.
Vladimir Romanov fires up FBK Kaunas
By: j |Vladimir Romnanov, the controversial owner of Hearts and Lithuanian businessman, in a exclusive interview with the Daily Record, has urged his compatriots FBK Kaunas to defeat the Rangers in this Wednesday’s Champions League qualifying match at Ibrox.
Mr. Romanov, as many know is a proud Soviet-born Lithuanian, who since purchasing Hearts brought in many top-flight players [...]
friendly v Raith Rovers
By: j |Todays friendly against Raith certainly didn’t provide the most optimistic of commentaries. Beyond a dreary first half performance was the injury of Carlos Cuéllar that will likely keep him out for upwards of two weeks, obviously including this Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier against Kaunas.
The match certainly took at different turn as Carlos Cuéllar limped-off at [...]
the return of Steven Davis?
By: j |With Fulham playing hardball and demanding a firm £4m for Northern Ireland international Steven Davis, the chances of seeing him with the Gers this season is beginning to look bleak. While Walter Smith clings to the hope of bringing him in before the transfer window closes, he is equally coming to grips with the fact [...]
Carlos Cuéllar injury set-back
By: j |SPL Player of the Year and Scottish Football Writers award-winner, Carlos Cuéllar suffered a calf strain in todays friendly against Raith Rovers and is ruled-out in Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier with Kaunas and possibly the return encounter in Lithuania. While he has been suffering from a similar injury this apparently is an entirely new one.
I [...]
blame the special one
By: j |That’s right blame José Mourinho, it’s all his fault. While he’s off in Milano, likely sitting at great little café having an espresso (at least thats what I’d be doing right now after an early dinner), his £14m purchase of Sulley Muntari from Portsmouth has derailed Walter Smith’s efforts to bring-in Pedro Mendes.
Now Sully gone, [...]
Pedro Mendes?
By: j |The Daily Record is reporting that Walter Smith is entering talks with Portsmouth to bring in stylish midfielder Pedro Mendes.
The twenty-nine year-old ex-Porto man is a brilliant playmaker and has inexplicably seen his role with Harry Redknapp’s squad fall (I tend to like Harry’s managerial abilities but this one shows a trace of madness to [...]
