Gers v Hibs in the Challenge Cup. Delighted the match is at Ibrox. It's a tough first round match. May the best team win. Anyway, who cares if you lose, 'cos it's only the Donald Duck cup!

Aye and macoist is pluto

Ide like rangers to win every compitition the enter and its one we will need to win cause it might be the last chance we get of winning it if we get promoted

If we lose what excuse are we going to give ally,

And a question to all the head insand mob.

What will your opinion be if ally does not gain promotion, bear in mind 2nd biggest wage bill, 2nd best striker partnership. ( I say 2nd best as both miller and Boyd are in process of winding down, career wise. )

Ed how long has ally left on his contract.

{Ed039's Note - Ally has a rolling contract)

Then he will need to go, think everyone knows that, including super.

Question for all the real loyal mob if ally does win promotion will you join us in the sand? Doubt it

Op why did you say [who cares if YOU win ] curious

Should have said who cares if YOU lose main work being YOUS

Can anyone explain to me the fascination about Kyle McAusland and our RB position? He is actually a CB by trade and from what I have seen he has done nothing to impress me, just because everyone what's to blood younger players, they do have to be good McLeod, McKay, Crawford, Gassparotto, Gallagher will all get their chance if they're good enough, 1st of all we have to get back where we belong and then worry about the younger talent

What's your take on it ED

{Ed039's Note - I have already said I dont see the fascination with McAusland, he has done OK but the reply I get if that Foster is rotten, its just a case of making the best of a bad situation)

Foster isn't as good as he thinks he is lol but in all honesty if we did want to get a young RB he has to be an out an. out RB and not CB come RB like Faure and McAuasland a would rather have Smith at RB than any of the above

Foster is about as much good as a chocolate fire gaurd

Out of the box thinking, but why not sign a RIGHT BACK?

Doiger that's to sensable a sulution

interesting that dundee utd ( we don't need rangers ) seem quite happy to sell their young talent off to anybody that's interested. surely if you have no "money issues" ( were operating in the black) you should be building a squad to challange for the league, then in turn when the times right sell players on for a bigger profit, which I think, if the deal goes through, sporting lisbon will do with gauld!!

{Ed001's Note - even more interesting that they rejected bigger offers from England last summer, odd that suddenly they are accepting less now.}

Were probably offered more cash up front than other club offered. I imagine they put a large sell-on fee clause in the contract. It's just good business sense, with that money they can secure players like macay-Stevens on long term contracts guaranteing more transfer fees aswell as signing more youth prospects. Something rangers should have started doing 2 years ago.

Were any offers actually made for him last year? I know there were lots of scouts up looking but did anything turn into a firm offer?

{Ed001's Note - there was a big from an English club of 5m+ which was rejected. There was an enquiry made by Hull last January, who were told that it would take in excess of 6m to even make them look at the offer.}

ST Eddy agree with you don't think there were ever any offers made for the young lad. TALKSPORT in November 13 stated Nicknamed the ‘Mini Messi’ by Dundee United supporters, no less than four Premier League clubs are said to be tracking Gauld. Specifically, those sides are Newcastle, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United, showing just how highly-rated the youngster is. Scouts from all four of teams watched him pull Partick Thistle apart in a 4-1 victory for United last weekend. Various sources claim he is valued at around £6m.
So don't think it was actually Utd who were stating this worth.
ED where you getting your info? if its DR then I know it will be wrong then.
They seem to be doing good business for a lad who only played around 34 games in all comps last year and less year before.?
What are we getting for our young lads? o ye we seem to be giving them frees.
Boyblue: time to get of the hate UTD fence its in the past and last check they don't have debt and if this fee etc taken into account they laughing all way to bank. unlike us. pity Murray Park not doing its job.

{Ed001's Note - I don't even know what DR is, I got it from someone who works at Hull and someone who works for Spurs, who were interested last summer. Well AVB wanted him last summer, but they seemed to have a deliberately policy of buying players AVB asked them not to buy at that point! As for that piece of crap radio station, I don't listen to anything said on there, most of it is just lies made up to get people phoning their premium rate numbers.}

Much has Murray park made rangers ally?

Sorry, not on the " hate utd fence", just thought it was interesting that they were willing to lose young talent, when they could at 18, nurture him and sell at a later date as will sporting lisbon, as we can see they have already put in a clause on his contract right away!

ps - it also depends what your definition of "debt" is in business, that determines if you are operating in the black or not!!

I've seen Gauld a few times and he is no where near as good as the press makes out. (still decent though). The actual fee is "undisclosed". There was a simiar carry on when Adam King left Hearts in January. Press were suggesting fees of over £1m for a player who had never been in the first team. Actual fee "undisclosed. "

Were any of these bids anything other than paper talk.

In saying that the boy is decent and might do better in a less physical league where his lack of dig might not be such a big issue. (is the portugease league less physical?)

I wish him well and hope he proves me wrong. Scotland could do with a Messi. Well done UTD its money in the bank.

Buyblue the clause was a 48 million pound clause according to tv yesterday funny money eh
