Thank's for taking the time to reply. There was already a competition in England at the time called the Zenith Data Systems Cup - see here My link, so I'd imagine the cup that was contested officially wasn't called that. Although according to the RSSSF (a Football statistic site) it is also called the Zenith Data Systems Cup - see here My link. According to the BFI Film & TV Database (the game was shown on TV), it was called British Champions Cup. My link Although the game is referred to by the name's above I dont think any of them is the official title. I think the sponsor's name was on it though meaning it was called 'Zenith Data Systems.......'. I heard the name of it before but I forget what twas

There is some debate whether this will be our new home shirt. Personally I'd love if twas. Man City have their sponsor in small writing on their away shirt so it has happened before

Hi, Does anyone on this forum have the aforementioned Rangers book? If so could you tell me what the name of the cup tourselves and Arsenal contested in '89. I got some usefull info from you guys before which I very much appreciate. However I didnt get the exact name of the cup and I believe it says the name of it on that book. Any help appreciated.

Walter Smith has been some manager - look at what he's won! Among the best imo. When he decides to step down, it will be a sad day for football.

Thats completly wrong, the reason why im saying that because SF refer to Northern Ireland as the North as like saying "the North of Ireland" like not even taking it in in that we exsist. And get your friends to me i need a word with them thats BS. Look I came on this forum to talk about FOOTBALL, not politics. This thread is about a great young Northern Irish player, Steven Davis and it's going off topic now. Whats politcal about calling a country by its name, im not going to go on about it but your an Arsenal fan. You brought up SF refering to Northern Ireland as the North of Ireland didnt you? I'm not gonna reply again about this issue - the thread was started to talk about Steven Davis and I dont wanna be responsible for it going off topic.

You have obviously picked me up wrong. When I refer to Northern Ireland as the 'North', it is just an expression. No more. When my friend's in Belfast (who are Unionist's) are heading to the Republic they always refer to it as the 'South' even though strictly speaking they could be heading to Malin Head for example, which is heading North.

The NORTH has got a name.?

I can tell you he's a very good player. Very good upper body strength. His goal scoring record at QPR is very good.

It may have been friendlies but any 'big' country (France, Spain and Brazil) they have played under Capello, they have been beaten

Thats even less believable than us winning the Champions League I was just saying that as an example. Like unfortunately - we dont win the League every year what with Man Utd and Chelski investing tens of millions to win it but when we do win it, it feels all the better. Our squad didnt cost anything like Man Utd or Chelski yet where right in there in the League and Champions League. Wenger, his staff and the players deserve huge credit for that. And then there's the fact that Spu*s regularly outspend us and still cant finish above us!

Think about this scenario. Rangers go a while without winning the SPL. The value of the winning the trophy would soon sink in then. I certainly wouldnt swap any of our title wins for a Champions League.

Well, I think over the years, Maik Taylor has been very solid in goal - I wouldnt underestimate how valuble he has been. Aaron Hughes, Chris Baird and McCartney are Premier League quality. Healy is better for the North than his Club. Agreed regarding Davis though. Old head on young shoulders. Quality player.

Why not? I agree Rangers would be a few short of a serious challenge in the UCL but with some astute signings, you never know.

There could be various reason's. I would think a combination of marketing and their success in the European Cup. An example, look how arrongant at times Real Madrid can come across as becuse they have won 9 EC/UCL's. I 'll tell ya, great achievement as it is, they were fortunate that they had a European Cup to win in their glory years. When we dominated English football in the 30's, there was no European Cup for us to win. Evey time we toured Europe at the time we beat the oppo. I'd say Rangers fans could quite rightly make the same arguament.
