There is no way they can play this open against us is there? Our players will cut them open at will.

Don't care if Madrid left a few at home the confidence we gain from beating them will be fantastic. Can you imagine the swagger of our players walking into training tomorrow. We are even better prepared for this season than last. Meanwhile that lot are delusional about their new manager. Can you imagine the backlash if they are 5 points behind after a few games. Fingers crossed.

Bit bored of the euros already as northern ireland aren't playing so I just look out for the big matches. The release of the fixture list means we are getting close to the real football starting again. Its funny the confidence we now have in the team means the fixture list doesn't look as daunting as last year.

Every agent/team know they are desperate for players so will add on a few extra thousand to both the transfer fee and the players wages.

i hope Scotland get hammered. Leigh griffiths social media reaction to Kyle lafferty crying after Northern Ireland went out in the play offs and then he was backed up by the famous tartan army isn't forgotten. Oh and Steve Clarke is a Rangers hating prick. I hope England embarrass them.

Class videos-makes you proud to be a Rangers supporter. Enjoy your day tomorrow folks-sing loud and proud. Please take a load or videos and photos and pop them on here for those of us in NI and elsewhere who can't make it over so we can feel part of it.

Typical bloody arsenal. They missed so many chances.

Please hang on Rangers. This is like watching last season

sorry lads the winner of the GSTQ competition goes to Alan Campbell. exhausted after coming third in his race he still stood for his national anthem. makes me proud to be from Northern Ireland. alan campbell on his twitter account: Thanks @piersmorgan for donating £1000 to @greatormondst for my GSTQ rendition. Still recovering and as always proud to be British.

that is the saddest thing for me as well. lafferty is no surprise though unfortunately. he will find it strange though playing for a team like peterborough. he has fucked the Northern Ireland team about a few times already in a short career so he can piss off. hope andy little sticks about though.

dont really dislike utd too much as they are a british institution just like rangers. i do find it ironic though when utd fans are saying that city are ruining the league as they are spending so much. you would think utd were bringing through 2-3 players from their academy each year to the first team-this hasnt happened for years on a consistent basis so fergie has had to go out and spend big money on young unproven players whereas city have bought players who have proved themselves in other teams.

agreed derek it took time to assemble a squad but last summer alone he spent 50 million on three players iincluding one of the most expensive keepers ever. man utd are as much to blame as anyone for the inflated prices paid for average players which has made the premier league uncompetitive as 75% of the league cannot compete over a longer period. city are a breath of fresh air for the league.

when city beat utd earlier in the season 6-1 these were the two squads. United De Gea-£18m. Smalling-£10.5m. Evans-Free. Ferdinand-£30m. Evra-£7m. Anderson-£20.3m. Fletcher-Free. Nani-£17.3m. Young-£18m. Rooney-£28m. Welbeck-Free. Subs: Lindegaard-£3.5m. Fabio-£2.5m. Jones-£18m. Park-£4m. Valencia-£18m. Berbatov-£30.75m. Hernandez-£7m. Total-£232.85m. City Hart-£600k. Richards-Free. Kompany-£6m. Lescott-£24m. Clichy-£7m. Barry-£12m. Yaya-£19.5m. Milner-£16m. Aguero-£38m. Silva-£24m. Balotelli-£24m. Subs: Pantilimon-Free. Kolarov-£17m. Toure-£14m. Nasri-£25m. Zabaleta-£5.5m. De Jong-£18m. Dzeko-£27m. Total-£277.6m. £45 million difference isnt that big amount when i hear everyone talking about city buying the league. i know city do have other players who didnt make the squad that day but utd spending £200 odd million is massive.

i have been lucky enough to have a few pints with stephen lomas on a NI away trip and i can tell you he is no celtic fan. absolute gent.
