I personally see myself as a Rangers supporter, although I never had a chance to follow at least one game of the nine-in-a-row team. That's because I live in the north of Germany and back in the 90ies, there was absolutely no chance to see a game from the scottish league - no internet, no pay tv showing scottish games...So I tried to make the best of it and I bought every english newspapers I could get to get the latest news. I also followed the Gers on BBC world wide videotext and also tried to catch every european game on tv. Since I got the internet and flight fares are getting cheaper and cheaper I follow every game on internet tv on pay-tv. I also travel 2-3 times a season to Ibrox. I nearly buy every home and away kit, so think that makes me a proud bear and a supporter.

If we can beat Osasuna, we can beat anyone, even Teams like Werder Bremen or other good offensive playing teams. I saw Osasuna playing at home against Hamburg in the championsleague qualifiation and I can tell you, that they have a massive support in the pamplona region. But they are also playing very good solid, organized football as far as I can see. So, if we can get through such a team...anything can happen IMO.

I also had probems since yesterday. Wanted tickets for the Falkirk game (my very first trip to Ibrox). Good that it works!

Scottish and also the english leagues can still be proud of their fairness. It's just terrible whats going on in Spain and Italy. Germany and France are in the mix.

Watched it on german pay tv as well. It was the first time that they televised a rangers game that was not an old firm. Unfortunatly Celtic did quit better on their wins against St.Mirren and Caley, which were also televised.

Sometimes I cannot understand why some pros have so many first touch problems. I know that the pitch was awful yesterday, but guys like Novo have to do much better, even on that kind of pitch. How many times he lost the ball from his first touch and how many turnovers did he create...? I like his attidtude, but he defently wasn't on top his his game. Beside the pitch problems I have to admit that Hearts did very well at the defensive end for most parts of the game. Boyd and Novo never got enough space to be really dangerous. We just have not a player who's could play a final pass. We were good enogh until we reached the box. We defenetly need more creativitiy and a new player who has such a creativity. Barry is a good midfielder. He can play the offenisive as well as the defensive midfield position, but he will never be a playmaker IMO...

I became a Rangers supporter in the 90ies in my teenager years, so I'd like to go with Ally, Gazza, Albertz and Laudrup although it was very hard to get live pictures in german tv at that time. Nowadays Barry Ferguson is still my man. I also like Allan Hutton, Ian Murray and Boyd.
