not a rumour just a gripe, on this site, everyone seems to know about whyte and his business and the tax case etc etc, why dont we all just support the club we love and wait and see what happens. no one knows anything for facts. so take each game as it comes, come january we will see where we are at, hopefully the tax case goes in our favour, if not then we support the club and help them become a force again. instead of all the speculation and no it alls talking rubbish.

I am sick of all this nonsense of going down south to pick up players,what about the young lad ryan donnelly at airdrie,his scoring record is very good in a poor team,lets give the scottish youngsters a chance,for me he wouldnt cost the earth and is still young enough that if he does well we could get a no bad profit from him.
I dont care that he is a celtic fan as long as he was gonna score goals.

Says alot when Airdrie has a better youth policy! What happened to the Murray park conveyor belt?

It does not matter what young lad we sign ally won't play him more than once then fires him back to the reserves no matter if he had a good game or not

Ok Mr donnelly

craig whyte is a ruthless individual who would not hesitate for one minute about axing mccoist if things get much worse. i personally think that with this current squad of players, allys job is in grave danger. we have no players with any consistancy or any real fight and against any team in the spl we go a goal down i cant see us coming back and winning. the team is one dimensional but this is nothing new to fellow bluenoses. i dream for the day i can take my wee boy to ibrox and bloody well enjoy the football on display!!

Did ye forget we were 2-1 down at half time with them in the last old firm game we still came out in ye second half an tore them a new one, I'm sick ov everyone getting tore into Coisty, fair enough some of the signings haven't been great but he was hampered by the amount of cash he had to spend, he can only pick the players he has at his disposal lets all just get behind the bloody team and get right into these pretenders who think they deserve to win the league

Cf3

Well said Cf3 - but Ally needs to do what he did at Ibrox, forget McCulloch and attack them.

Just want to give my opinion on what the team should be on Wednesday.

Although this is a poor Celtic team, they still play decent football and like to keep the ball. Therefore we have to drown them out in the centre of midfield to stop Kayal & Ki dictating the game.

I would go 4-5-1 and keep the 3 central midfielders as tight and narrow as possible to suffocate them in the middle.

My team would be:

McGregor

Whittaker Bartley Bocanegra Papac

Lafferty Davis McCulloch Edu Wallace

Jelavic

Although I don't usually like seeing Edu & McCulloch in the same team, they only ever play together in a 4-4-2 with Davis shifted to the right. Whereas with this formation I feel they could play together as a 3 with Davis & Edu doing the donkey work and McCulloch sitting deeper.

Lafferty & Wallace will provide width when going forward, but crucially they will work back & help out Whittaker & Papac.

I feel this is the team that has the best chance of coming away with a positive result.

Any opinions?

Steven.

Please stop saying 4-5-1 Jelavic cant play up front on his own

Mculloch CAN play against celtic after they appealed his ban.

Oh god help me. Come on the Gers!

It's mcculloch or edu it doesn't work with both in midfield IMO, i'd go for mcculloch cause edu will get walked all over by celtic midfield.

Rablam.

AND???

Great news he hasnt kicked a ball against celtic in years!

I hope your not saying mcculloch can play as if it's a good thing . he is a liability and should be nowhere near the squad never mind the team . the guy is 1 dimensional and adds nothing to the team .

Get in there.easy home win then.ya beauty

That's brilliant news roll on wednesday.....Steviebhoy

Great news cos he's shyte. Likely get sent off again then a second sending off for another of your players. It's a pattern we see regularly.
When the chips are down your thug mentality takes over.

Rablam, it does not work with EITHER of them in midfield

With it now official - rangers will appeal the red card of McCulloch, I can see the line up against celtic -
Mcgregor, Whittaker Bartley Boca papac
McCulloch Edu Davis Wallace wylde Jelavic - the exact same side (apart from Goian)

got to laugh at the people saying we have no leadership since naismith was injured. naismith would not have even got near previous rangers first 11s

this is leaders

john greig
terry butcher
Richard gough
john brown
ally mccoist
Mark Hateley
ray wilkins
graeme souness

oh i forgot and steve davis.......NOT

Naismith is a massive part of the team, he balances everything out and works so hard. He plays for the jersey and attacks well and also defends well, we've missed him immensely, simples. Also wonder if only 30 thousand fans will turn up to Parkhead now that Rangers have thrown away the gap? Only support their club when winning, sad ''people''.

What about the 4000 that were turning up at ibrox in the early 80s.......pot kettle black.

How can the referee say there was 1 minute injury time in the 1st half of Celtic game and they score in the 47th minute? {Ed001's Note - the injury time is a minimum time, not a maximum.}

Paranoia paranoia where do you get that?
col

U really are clutching at straws now son.

M8 get a grip man lol

And usually the min is 2 min but depends of the state of play

26 Dec 2011 13:45:11
A few wee points to make. Some are saying if we attack Celtic we can win, I don't disagree with that but we could hardly manage an attack over the past months against the smaller clubs in th SPL.
Maybe if we did we'd be doing a bit better.

I would love it if McCoist was our manager for years to come but no man is bigger than the club and second in importance is the fans who are being let down and short changed. Not because this is a blip or because we're skint.
The reason is we don't even try to play football. Which is bearable when winning but bloody awful when St Mirren pass Rangers off the park on the way to a 2-1 win.

Even in our finantial state we can atract better players and pay bigger wages than any other SPL team other than Celtic. Therefore even if we play open and expansive football, we should still win most games.

It might take time, but Johan Cruyf implimented their style of football all them years ago and now their team and youth system are second to none.

Ps, I know we'll not get success like barca but would be nice to watch the gers play good football.

Daily mirror is saying that Rangers have given an agent the rights to sell him for £10mil, and that this has given Warnock the QPR manager a massive boost. Rangers have issued a English based agent a mandate to sell. Both Sunderland and Liverpool are interested in the big Croatian. This looks like it is going to happen after all Bears, but who will be his replacement ? AndyPandy63. Source Daily Mirror Sport ( online) {Ed001's Note - you know the Mirror is the least reliable paper of all for transfer rumours. There was a site (I forget what it was called) which did a league table of them, the Mirror came bottom of the tabloids. The Guardian was the most reliable.}

Cheers ed, I'll no check oot that rag again. AndyPandy63 {Ed001's Note - the problem with the tabloids is that they just make stuff up to fill column inches. That was the original reasoning behind setting up the original website, not so much about spreading rumours I had heard, but for people to post what they had read in tabloids so it could be explained how wrong it was. These days even SSN make up lies, particularly on transfer deadline day, just to get people betting and phoning in to them. It is hard to find any reliable sources whatsoever, other than people involved.}

26 Dec 2011 12:03:03
team for the old firm game ?
Shagger
Whitt Boca papac Wallace
Bartley
Aluko Davis Edu Lafferty
Jelavic
I think this is as strong as we've got Bears............ AndyPandy63

I agree but would play bartley at cb as papac is not good there, plus with boca and papac at cb we would lack hight *ksd*,ps also i think ally will appeal mccullochs red so he might start in edu's place.

I would probably go with this team to apart from whitty . I would replace him with mcmillian, as whitty is the worst right back we have had in years .

in saying that I think mr negative ally will play either weir or broadfoot or even both and lace the team with defensive minded players. I fear if he does this he will be playing right into celtics hands and ultimately cost us the game.

You might not like this but this is how I think we will line up on Wednesday.
McGregor
Broadfoot, Bocanegra, Bartley, Wallace
McCulloch.
Whittaker, Davis, Edu, Papac.
Jelavic.

This is the team that can take the 3 points against Celtic.
WATP

McCoist could field 22 players and we will still get humped on Wednesday.

The outing against St Mirren on Saturday was abysmal. Stevie Davis is not a Rangers captain, he is too weak and not vocal enough to lift the team during a match. There is a real lack of heart in this team at the moment and I blame McCoist. Not one player seems to want to play for him right now. His tactical decisions is what has cost Rangers the title. Why the Fleck did he take Lafferty off early in the second half only to bring on Kyle Bartley as a striker? What is he all about? His constant tinkering is proving costly.

I honestly can't see Rangers salvaging anything from the game at Parkhead. I would play Bendiksen and McMillan in place of Davis and Whittaker and just go for it, we are going to get humped anyway as Davis and Whittaker are the to biggest cowards I have seen in a Rangers jersey.

McGregor

McMillan Bartley Boca Papac

Bedoya Edu

Lafferty Bendiksen Wallace

Jelavic

Go for it McCoist. It's your fault we are heading for a 3rd place finish.

Call me highly critical if you like fellow bears but we are in dire straights!!!!

TonyTheGer

We are very poor right now, but the greatest team side ever in history are not exactly hammering teams, in case you noticed.

Sorry Tony, but I'm gonnie have to disagree, because I think that old firm experience is the only thing that will get us a result. The boys in your line up could freeze and that would be a nightmare against a weak runners up / chasers side ! We need guy's who want to put a foot in, a head in and run until they puke and know what it means to BEAT that mob ! You need to want it and be prepared to fight for it, thats why I think my team is stronger m8. I'll still be cheering on whoever plays and will ALWAYS expect to win, so good luck to the Glasgow Rangers and the........ AndyPandy63 Bring it on, BEARS

26 Dec 2011 12:01:26
Just listened to Craig Moore on Sky , a pretty honest appraisal of the team going into the old firm game.I hope we play well but I just don't see the players who can turn it on , our style of football is a real turn off and to be honest it has been like that with Mcleish , Smith and now McCoist, the occasional great performance but generally defensive dour stuff.I will be hoping we win but just dont feel confident with this one.

Totally agree mate dont know why the rangers fans have put up with this s**t football for so long. winning yes but entertainment no.

26 Dec 2011 09:44:40
Ally says we are ready for Celtic why don't I believe him is it
We don't have a midfield or the performances of Whiticker Edo MCCULLOCH Or the lack of the vital pass to split a defence Maybe it's the team selection they seem the same two weeks on the trot
Having said all that it's an old firm game COME ON THE GERS GIVE THEM #####

Ally has let himself down over the last few weeks,as a Celtic supporter I had him down as one of the good guys. The defending Sone (who dived, lied and cheated)was bad enough but to turn around and accuse the St Mirren player of making a meal of it was appaling(Thug has a look at the player and swings an elbow) Goian was stupidity on his part(Ally tries to blame the ref)for christs sake have a look at your own player he needs his a**e kicked for stupidity.The big talking point for me was how Laughable was not done for assault one of the worst challenges I have seen for a long time.

The old firm game is a one off and either team can win it,if Rangers do, it will only be papering over the cracks Ally is out of his depth and it is beginning to show(Bartley up front is a prime example of not having a clue)

You have a damn cheek Timothy ur beloved lennon has made a career out of moaning and blaming everything on ref's and the sfa and conspiracy theories, now that the sfa and ref's r scared to give anything against yaz it's us getting it in the neck, ps you's get more penaltys yhan any1 else in britain!!*ksd*

You could'nt make it up, Timothy calling Super Ally a moaner. Just you worry about Hans klopek sorry I mean Neil lennon, Sammyonmaarse, and tell Hooper to keep his elbow's to himself.

26 Dec 2011 01:31:36
Will Celtic players and fans ever learn !
Shouting from the roof tops that they are coming to claim the title , very short memories from the last 3 years .

The gers maybe struggling but it's the way we carry are self and we will win on Wednesday and all those Celtic fans can start talking how they were hard done by.

Give me a break !

LOL,it was Rangers fane that were saying the league was done and dusted,so dont be surprised when you get it back,that said lots of twists and turns to come still anyones league. Ally however is starting to lose it and that may prove decisive

Morning fellow bears,merry christmas from Australia living in Perth but miss my GERS so much watch them every weekend on setanta,we need to stick together just now the other lot are loving this just now tax problems,poor team all there fat sally and now we are turning on him the legend that is super ally will know when the time is right if it isn't working we don't have to come on here and mc call this davis that give him a wee chance at least we owe him that for all the good times he has gave us through the years,needs to change style a bit i agree need to play mckay in midfield a very good disciplined player who could give davis more of a free role,edu mcculloch,broadfoot,whittaker the list goes on and on not good enough but that's where we are at with all that's going on lets get behind the BIG GLASGOW TEAM the most successful club side in the world and go to the midden on wed and turn them over they aren't great scrapping by killie,hearts and now big samarse is the main man lets go at them forget the tax forget mccall,davis butcher whoever we all say we want and remember no one loves doing celtic more than SUPER ALLY SUPER ALLY i'm sure we can all remember that just even for a little time more well i'm off to the beach boxing day 32degrees a nice cold beer but i'd rather be at the midden on wed night with all my bears but there are tons over here in Perth follow follow and all the best to my fellow bears

Well said big man we are the people

SUPER ALLY SUPER ALLY C'mon ally go right at them from the start defend from the front and have strong midfield

Your dead right big man let's get into them ALL THE BEST BIG MAN

Typical deluded poster ,missing the point. Ally is out of his depth and winning the old firm game would only paper over the facts, the whyte night is one step away from a con man and the tax man cometh things are not looking good but as you say Super Ally to the rescue(10 central defenders and Jelly man up front thats the beautiful game right enough)
