Hi ed just found this on the west ham page (Jonothan Specter joining Rangers) could this be the mighty Glasgow Rangers and if so do you know anything about this guy {Ed010's Note - Jonathan Spector is an US international currently playing for West Ham as you say. He can play anywhere across the backline and more recently moved into midfield. Rangers are rumoured to be interested but with a price tag of 2.5 million being touted, I really don'y know if Rangers will follow up there interest.
Spector Is out of contract so wouldn't cost a penny as is Upson so depending on wages etc Rangers stand a good chance of bringing 1 if not both north of the border. .

"Billyboy, C-Bear, Daviet and others. Who has been your player of the season? For me I think Naismith has been our best player but Whittaker has been extremely important because of his versatility. Celtic fans feel free to share your opinions too.
GovanFR"
Hmmmmmm. . .
Greegs would be an obvious choice I reckon. But then again, Weir still keeping it safe and solid at 41 is quite an achievement.
Let's not forget Miller too- 20 odd goals is a fantastic return for someone sold in the January transfer window. And Jela was outstanding in the run-in. And big Kyle too.
If I was pushed to pick one, it would be Greegs.

My choice for player of the year would be McGregor all day long. The man is a different class. Lets face it, if he had let that Samaras goal in, we would have not won the league. Never mind how often he makes wonder saves (I remember at least 2 yesterday).
I rate Alexander and if we lost McGregor it wouldn't be the end of the world, but if Boruc was worth £10mill (aye right! !) and Gordon got sold for something like £8-10 mill then he must be worth £10 -15 mill.
My tip for player of the year next year. . big Kyle. I have watched him blossom this year and if he keeps getting a game up front next season he will fire the goals in for us. He's big and awkward looking, hated by Celtic fans and loves this club with a passion. His energy and enthusiasm is an example to any young player. He seems to have stopped the foolishness and in a years time we may well be fighting off EPL clubs to keep him.

Mate love the post and i think big lafferty grown up loads last six months like ive said in previous posts playing in his favourite position with a very good partner i agree watch him next year provided he plays up front but if coisty asked him to play another position he would without complaint and that's what a lot of fans forget ps what were the last words said in the celtic huddle what rangers scored already

Hope he comes back has been the most entertaining player i've seen at ibrox in a long time.

Lots of gers fans are debating who gers player of the year was , truth for me is all of them played there part , ok edu didn't have the best of old firm games but still played his part , lots of calls about big davie past it after the horror parkhead game but he was brillant after that i think the big turning point in gers season was wee greg wlyde the boy gave gers another option in an attacking way after the 5 4 1 formation all i can say wattie knew what he was doing in walter we trust and all that gers will not go crazy signing players don't want to make same mistakes murray did we need coulpe more quality defenders and a creative midfeider , winger and 1 more attacker keep faith in the young guys who held us together

Just a quick poll lads. Would yourather we went for 3 quality signings (2-3M each) or 6/ 7 cheaper players.
Clcik Agree for Quality and Disagree for quantity.
Believable14

Go for 2-3 quality as who needs quantity when we had one of the smallest squads this year . We have a good spine to our team so why play about with a squad whats just delivered 3in a row . Maybe just a few faces to freshen the team up . . . . .
P.S Greegsy won us the league when he saved Samagash's penalty . . . .
Look forward to 4 in a row . . . .

Goven fr, I personally think papac has been outstanding, safe and secure. But there is only one alan mvgregor. Without his performances we would be 3rd, lol. Whittiker has been good and naisy also as well as big jelly. But mcgregor all the way.

Papac has done well, especially considering he a centre def when we signed him, but i would let him move on. things are changing and i think its just time for some new faces, although if we start next season with sas at l/b i would be happy with it.

I would say the goalie. naisey brilliant, although i think he should try n stay on his feet more. whittiker i kind of have a prob with in the fact that he's a right back that can't defend! although going forward he's good it sometimes leaves us short at the back. nearly as good as hutton going forward. also rekon if jelavic had a full season we wouldn't even need to talk about best player as he would walk it.

Ally McCoist. . . the next john Greig. . . .discuss! i think it wouldn't be a bad shout to put Big Sam Allerdyce in charge at ibrox, honestly. i just don't think Ally will cut it. Shoes on the other foot next season lads, you will be rebuilding under a rookie manager, just a thought.

I wouldn't say it's rebuilding it's just adding about 5 players to the ones we have. Ally has been studying under Walter for the last 6 year. I think he should be more than ready for this job.

Wouldnt want big sam anywere near ibrox.
the differance between ally mccoist mbe and the classless lennon are lennon signed 15 players when he took over, ally only need 5 or 6 as we have a good spine to our team (mcgregor, bougey, davis, jela etc) also some of the players we might sign have spent time here on loan n are already familiar with the club

in my opinion 2 players who WILL be at ibrox next season are craig conway and gareth mccauley! {Ed010's Note - Yes, these are rumours and banter pages and everyone is free to make comments as they see fit. However it works both ways, people post "rumours" that no one else has heard about and then ask the editors for confirmation that it is a legitimate rumour. I think that Conway is a good possibility but West Brom have went public in their pursuit of him.
