Sorry Away goals do NOT count it is total score and if tied then extra time followed by penalties

If this should be moved to another section admin please do so, but it is something many Rangers fans have been pushing for for a long time.. http://www.sundaypost.com/news-views/scotland/probe-into-celtic-s-8m-training-ground-1.871622 A financial watchdog is investigating payments between a number of public bodies and Celtic Football Club. Audit Scotland’s probe centres on the club’s north of Glasgow training HQ built in 2007. They are examining a paper trail between the club, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and East Dunbartonshire Council over the state-of-the-art £8.5 million facility. The council is said to have paid the football giants a significant sum over the last 18 months to allow members of the public limited access to the training ground. But the facility is only available for use on limited occasions. Council officials have cited “commercial reasons” as their reason for refusing to disclose figures behind the service-level agreement. Audit Scotland became involved after receiving a number of complaints about value-for-money public spending. A spokesman for Audit Scotland said: “We have received several letters on this subject. As such, we have a team of local auditors who are making enquiries into this matter.” Council officials say the public are allowed to use some of the pitches on Wednesday evenings and at some points during the summer. The council inherited the deal from the Lennoxtown Initiative, a non-profit body set up by the council and the NHS to regenerate the area in 2002. Thomas Glen, Director of Development and Regeneration at East Dunbartonshire Council, said, “East Dunbartonshire Council is a partner on the Lennoxtown Initiative which had a service-level agreement with Celtic Football Club to allow for community access to the Lennoxtown facility. “The Council provided £68,377.20 in September, 2013, to support the delivery of this agreement. We fully support Audit Scotland in any responsible monitoring of the public pound.” A spokeswoman for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed it is co-operating with auditors. Their spokesman said: “We are aware that Audit Scotland are looking into this matter and have supplied them with all the relevant information that they have asked for.” Celtic Football club refused to comment. The training complex was built on the site of the former Lennox Castle Hospital to replace the club’s dilapidated Barrowfield training ground near Celtic Park in the east end of the city. The club paid NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde nearly £493,000 for the land in June 2006 – some £13,000 more than it was valued at. However, at one stage there had been hopes the land could sell for £3.5 million. The club has previously been embroiled with people living near the training ground over access.

That team is Jigged mate

Yes only complain in this line up is undroppable useless clown at centre back

the reason is to have some one with experience try to cover for undropable get Jig to fuck and move McGregor back to CH. Cinnamon is the Scottish u/19 right back so he cannot be that bad a player.

Surely just a bunch of craic from the lovable rhougues from Greenock Southern Ireland?

The lads have done well now add McLeod to that mix and Gallagher up top and Hearts would have been the team fighting for a playoff in to go up. I still see a team of Bell Sinnamon, McGregor, Streete Wallace Walsh Murdoch Allan,Vuckic Hardie Gallacher As our main team. Any monies for transfers given over to Allan, Vuckic and Streete (or the latter 2 loans extended). I am not sure of the contract status of Shane Ferguson but he may also be an option for extension of contract as he is going no where at Newcastle. We need the monies available for investment spent on infrastructure next year with investment in players to be focused on developing our own with only small amounts spent on purchases, the days of Rangers (or anyone in Scotland) spending even a couple of million on players in a transfer window are long over.

I fully expect to be celebrating Rangers return to the Premier League from June 3rd through June 7th with fellow bears in Redondo Beach California, and whom ever comes over from the club. I can almost ALMOST totally forget about not winning any silver ware this season as long as we are going wild in celebration May 31.

They actually believe, I mean every fucking one of them, that the SFA conspired to deprive them of a treble. Yes we all ken that none of them live within the boundaries of reality.

Yes please in this instance don't mix the SPL and the SFA. The former fucked us over the later could do little to help. As always ineffectual except when collecting fines and with holding funds that are rightfully Rangers.

Come on over to my place we'll be havin a party. Singing and Dancing

If we need him to bulk up just pair him with Boyd for a week

Much better second half way to make sure McCullough does not fuck up is to keep the ball in there half and with the quicker paced youngsters we can press higher.

Finally a decent comment from DJ "give Gallagher a run out"

Question is how can we not

Derek Johnston could still score in training against our defense

FOR fuck sake McCullough almost causing another goal kid was too fast for him and made him look stupid HOW can SMcC not see this????

Coaches instructions to Hardie followed lets hope he does not need a hat trick to balance McCullouch errors

Do you have to ask. McGregor plays two positions every time that clown is in the line up

Coaches instructions to young Hardie Just score one more than McCullough causes

from the clubs web page Rangers: Bell; McGregor, McCulloch, Zaliukas, Wallace; Vuckic, Law, Murdoch, Walsh; Hardie, Clark. Subs: Simonsen, Boyd, Black, Gallagher, Shiels, Mohsni, Crawford.

Best sarcastic post of the year

If McCall has Jig starting on the weekend and Boyd anywhere near the team then his chances of being here next season should be fuck all

fixed that for you
