i thought the run from whittiker leading up to the first goal was just superb reminded me of the one and only gazza ramie govan f

Please please please dont mention Whitaker and Gazza in the same breath, Abosolutely no comparison.

Listen mate i know thare is no comparison but watch whittikers run and u will see the extra burst of pace going forward ramie govan f

You shouldn't put gazza and whittaker on the same sentence that is scary very very scary am sure most people will say that to very scary

Erickson has been sacked by leister does this mean there intrest in jelavic will be droped let's hope so

I dont think he will go to Leister as IF he goes which i dont think he will untill the summer atleast, he says he wants to go to top 4 prem team but why would sven bein sacked mean they would lose interest?

Jelavic was never going with eriksen there or not.

Some Joe Sise clips just to have a wee look, not really much to look at as there's not much footage of him but in the clips scored a great header so his height is a big asset.

I just watched the BBC highlights of the game yesterday. I noticed they showed a highlight of Whittaker supposedly fowling Templeton once he was booked to make it look as though he should've been sent off. Yet Ian Black didn't get a sing;e highlight. Did anyone else wonder why Black wasn't booked early on, he put in a couple of challenges similar to Whittakers and wasn't booked for it. Strange/

Well the BBC are just biased as I thought, the same as you, that black should have had about 15 yellow cards in just that game.

Didn't notice that they highlighted the Whittaker thing and missed out all of Black's rubbish but well spotted. The BBC are a disgrace and I like Whyte not taking rubbish from anybody. Ian Black is the dirtiest player in Scotland, I was saying that as I was watching the game yesterday, he's a dirty growler and a very average player. Why did he kiss the badge on the way off to the Rangers fans when we couldn't care less? It was us who won 2-0 lol, embarrassing.

We all noticed it..what more do you expect. he had 4 bookable fouls in the first half..did you also notice everytime we went near them they went down and surprise surprise the ref gave a freekick.

Im glad we got that game out the way with that idiot black sliding studs up into every player putting their career at risk

Lets not lower ourselves to blaming everyone but ourselves, if we wanted to do that we would be supporting the plague. Be thankful you were brought up properly.

It is not a matter of blaming ourselves. The BBC chose to omit incidents that would have suggested Ian Black should have been sent off yet they included footage to suggest Whittaker should have been.

Feel free to make the BBC aware of the omitted Ian Black highlights.

GovanFR

Espn broadcast the game and they showed the same incident bbc used their coverage.chill out lads we don't want to go down the celic route everyones against us we have as wattie would say CLASS & CHARACTER

Your BBC Boycott lasted long. Did you's all watch Eastenders tonight too.

Mark67

ESPN also showed Ian Blacks numerous fowls, the BBC did not. Mark67 don't worry I never said I was boycotting the BBC.

GovanFR

No the eastenders in this country are s**te & their fans are are always on our site talking single fish
NTYABOW

Can I highlight that Black fouls like that in every game, not just Rangers, or Celtic (Last seasons two footed lunge on - I think McCourt when he was down injured)

If anyone is interested in the HMRC case read this -
On the official HMRC website they are offering an amnesty for company's who used Employee Benefit Trusts (which is what they are claiming Rangers did) as they know there is a good chance they will lose any court case. If people settle they admit they done wrong so wont be able to claim their money back of Rangers win their cases. Arsenal were told they owed £300 million and HMRC accepted £10 million as a settlement. This is why Whyte is so confident in winning the tax case. What Rangers did was classed as tax avoidance which is perfectly legal - only tax evasion is illegal. Please share this with all Rangers pages to start to get some positivity about the tax case - it isn't as bad as it is being made out! Check the official link if you feel this isn't true......

Cheers tor posting that mate, wonder what the doom and gloom crew think of this. Maybe Whyte knows what he is doing and is just keeping his cards close to his chest.?!! No matter, he has my backing
dmrangers

Good bit of info mate, cheers

That statement is mental, it's like right thats illegal as of this year - but we are going to sue you for all the years you did it when it wasn't illegal,

maybe i got this wrong as im not sure how administration works but is it not basically a outside source comes in a slashes bills, sell assets to try get majority of the money back? is this not what lloyds done for 2 years?

as long as debt is wiped or HRMC get the money they are "owed" rangers fc would still exist. if worse case scenario he loses the case i would rather be minus 20 or so points (and to be honest the way celtic are playing we would make grund back up) than playing in division 3 and being called rangers utd

The start of the season has been decidedly underwhelming for Glasgow Celtic, as they sit ten points off Scottish Premier League leaders Rangers after just ten games, and lurch in and out of the Europa League like a drunken street brawler, taking demoralising blows against almost all opponents.

It seems, like in the Europa League, where Celtic were reinstated after Swiss Club FC Sion were found guilty of fielding ineligible players, they might be gifted some unbelievable luck in the SPL too should Glasgow Rangers� case over a 49 Million pound tax bill go against them.

That would almost certainly force Rangers into administration, a result that would see them suffer a point�s deduction.

While Rangers �bullish new owner Craig Whyte continues to insist that he is confident of winning both legal cases currently facing the club, you would be forgiven for thinking the Revenue do not undertake such cases lightly.

But the �misunderstandings� faced by Sion and Rangers have merely created a smokescreen for the downward spiral occurring in the East End of Glasgow.

Despite a very promising end to last season, lifting the Scottish Cup and pushing Rangers all the way in the title race, they now find themselves adrift in the unfamiliar position of third place, four points behind the mighty Motherwell, albeit with two games in hand.

Previous Celtic teams would never find themselves three goals down against Kilmarnock in the first place, so the team cannot justify celebrating an unlikely comeback in any fashion.
It seems to me that this season the dire European campaign is a distraction the Hoops could do without, with Rangers free to concentrate fully on their domestic campaign. It has not gone un-noticed that each of Celtic� three defeats this season have come after European games, a trend that was curbed on Sunday when they beat Aberdeen 2-1.

At the heart of the current crisis, is, as usual, a chronic lack of foresight and investment by the current board. With Rangers having been in financial limbo for the last few seasons, Celtic matched their cross city rivals self destruction by expensively courting the man no one else wanted, Tony Mowbray and then, letting him rip the heart out of team before quickly and ignominiously departing.

As a result, Lennon was admittedly left with a great deal to do upon his arrival but the initial impetus his passionate approach brought has died down and reality has set in.

The current squad is simply not good enough to compete on a domestic level, with the dead wood cleared out by Lennon replaced inadequately by bargain basement deals from the Championship.

The days of rubbing shoulders and competing with the likes of Barcelona and Milan in Parkhead in the Champions League seem like a very distant era.

We�ve all heard endlessly of the lack of TV money in the Scottish game, but if Celtic wants to ever return to the lucrative stages of European competition, investment is a must.

Not surprisingly, revenue was down last year for Celtic, partly due to the briefness of their European involvement, and Celtic surely cannot rely on the enormous loyalty of their fans forever.

It is a remarkable testament to that loyalty that the Hoops can rake in so much from season ticket sales year after year.

But that will surely change should Celtic fail to even compete domestically this year. With their hands firmly in their pockets, the financial �prudence� of the board may finally kill the golden goose that is the twenty million or so from season ticket sales.

we welcome the chase

no wonder Whyte is confident with Arsenal having an estimated £300 million liability and only paying a settlement of £10 mill and HMRC now offering the deal to all with the provision that nobody who takes deal can sue them back (LOL) NEVER won a case and NEVER will on EBT's perfectly legal tax managment scheme (facts and figures confusing them since 1888)

Rangers have invited Sweden Under-21 striker Joe Sise to train with the club.

Ally McCoist has confirmed that moves are underway to take the Halmstads forward to Murray Park, allowing him to assess whether or not he will make a bid for the player.

�We are hoping to get him over this week to have a look at him in training,� the Rangers manager said following his side�s 2-0 win over Hearts.

Sise will be out of contract next month, allowing Rangers to sign the player with only training compensation being paid to Halmstads, who signed the 21-year old from Snostorp Nyhem in 2008.

�We are hoping to get him over this week to have a look at him in training.�

The 6 foot 4 forward, who can play on either wing or through the middle, has scored four goals in this season�s Allsvenskan. He earned two Under-21 caps in 2010 but has not been involved in recent international squads. He played the full second half as Sweden drew 1-1 with Scotland in August 2010.

And now rangers go into talks with Lafferty and they look to be talking with the same type of player?

I hope all my fellow gers fans stayed away frm bbc celtic last night, oh sorry sportscene

Do u think the bbc really care if rangers fans watch there channel or not ?

See that £146 a yr people pay for a TV licence... It goes to the BBC !!

Lenny

For there ratings i think they probably would care Lenny cos nobody likes being behind there rivals do they ? Look how much it hurts you ? LARKYELLIS....

Listen bears, il b very surprised if we sign this sise boy even if he is a free agent. We had the chance to sign abelairas, who apparently looked great in training n we didn't coz we hav no money. We won't b spending anything till this tax case is sorted.

L bear

So your saying we will spend time and money on flying the boy in, Working with him etc with the knowledge that we are not gonna sign him?

What would be the point exactly?

Bluegenius

Is tht nt exactly wot happened with abelairas??

L bear

Don't think so mate. I'm gonna imagine that there was a difference of opinion of his worth. He may have changed his demands or Ally wasn't that impressed and just said he was good to do the boy a favour and not scupper his chance with anyone else by saying he's not fit or whatever.

I'm not saying we are definitely gonna sign him its just that I don't think we are gonna bring him in already knowing we wont.

Bluegenius!

I understand wot ur sayin mate but I Jst dnt think any signins will b made till all this tax sh!te is sorted. The sooner the better cox it's rly starting to burst ma heed

L bear

I agree bud but the tax issue will be sorted one way or another v.soon and this boy is free in about a month. It could be simply that we are getting in first to size him up and by the time he is available we will know whether we can afford to bring him and others in!

Keep the faith bud! We have a winning squad already. The tax thing is anyone's guess at present but we will always be Glasgow Rangers and we are always the people!

Just really suprised McKay wasnt in the team. He gives a 100% a game. Always wants ball.....and never gets a game?

Rory

Had they to agree to letting mckay go back and forth to austrailia so they could get him early,he was named austrailia,s player of the year and that would have alerted everyone to him giving us no chance,in early for a change
