it looks like ukraine, portugal and russia are definites. most likely cska and either shaktar or dynamo kiev from ukraine or braga or benfica from portugal. the 4th one is up in the air. alkmaar, psv, twente, hevereen and feyenoord are all in a 4 way battle for 2nd in holland. panathaniakos have got 2nd in greece wrapped and have a higher points total than hevereen, az alkmaar and feyenoord so if one of those teams gets the place in holland the greeks would be the 4th seeded team.

i'm sure i read someone on here saying this celtic team were the best scottish side of the past 10 years! they are pish. they've won 2 out of their biggest 13 (8 europe, 3 OF, LCF, SCSF) games so far, that's piss poor and they haven't even been overly impressive against the diddies. the last two times we've played them it's pretty close so there's no reason why we can't get a result on sunday. we should be attempting to put them under pressure from the first minute.

he will be next season if he's at the game and you're in the pub

another clanger from big john.

could be doing with an extra 'r' there

big darren would have saved that no probs. i think it's close between them. ruddy made more errors but also more eye catching saves, darren has been extremely consistent.

he better get a good preseason in if he wants to catch me

you want our players and fans to prostate themselves in front of a club who even when they beat us in the scottish cup final still felt the need to publicly denigrate our players and a set of fans who continually accuse our players and management of dishonesty and refer to our support as h**s. that doesn't make sense to me but each to their own.

we could maybe make a deal where we don't applaud them onto the park but you take a line up from their full 42 man first team squad and management team pre match if your so keen?

looks like i'll be the last man standing at fir park. nae luck higdon

this just shows how aware all the other 11 clubs are that they need rangers in the league from a financial point of view. as i've said in the other thread i can't see what benefits this scenario has for rangers over going to division 3. if they're not going to win the league or play in europe what is the value to them of being in the spl?

what's the value of spl status if they are effectively out the title race before it begins and can't get into europe?

i'd be suprised if anyone bought them before the meeting. who would put down money before you know what the situation is?

i don't know about that. this pretty much makes it impossible to come out of admin before may 14th which guarantees they will have a points penalty next season.

i'm struggling to see where the goals are going to come from but i think we'll make it somehow.

they're not random events.

those things will even themselves out. we're looking at a sample of 31 games with probably a dozen different refs and he is pulled up for the same things in every game. last season he fouled the most times in the spl even though only started 26 games and came on twice as a sub.

even rangers?

they do live text coverage of every game so it probably all comes from that. i think that is correct for page.

espn site no.

85 free kicks against him in the league. it's a foul when the ref blows the whistle. 35 free kicks won in the league.

i bet micky quinn and mark yardley gave away a lot of free kicks as well. what is your point?

i bet you were shouting for fouls against him when he was with falkirk and st mirren.

i don't understand what you mean. i support the team at games. on here we talk about what we've seen. do you think it's a positive thing that our striker gives away far more free kicks than any other player in the entire league?

how can humphrey be the motm when he didn't deliver one decent ball all game? hutchy was a class apart on the day and page and carswell showed that if get opportunities they will grow into the spl.
