  1. Here's the reality: Jim McAlister looks set to see a move to boyhood heroes Rangers scuppered. The midfielder has been offered a two-year extension by Dundee but has had contact with a number of other interesting suitors. Premiership outfit Kilmarnock have cast their eye over the 29-year-old. It’s believed newly-promoted Hearts may also been keen to add him to their ranks. But it’s been the interest from Championship Rangers which is the most intriguing, with McAlister a former Ibrox season ticket-holder.
  2. Evening Times are reporting that Bomber Jackson has passed away at the age of 68 after a long battle with Leukaemia.
  3. Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes features on a wish list of candidates to become the next manager of Rangers. Stuart McCall will meet Ibrox directors for discussions in the coming days, with sources insisting no final decision has been made on the interim boss’s future. Sunday’s defeat to Motherwell in the Premiership play-off final has, however, inevitably dented the former Scotland midfielder’s hopes of landing the post on a permanent basis Sportsmail understands Rangers directors were in advanced talks with an unnamed candidate in the event of the club being promoted to Scotland’s top tier. But a 6-1 aggregate defeat to the Fir Park club has brought that pursuit to an end and prompted a revision of the managerial wish list. Former Brentford boss Mark Warburton has already been sounded out with right-hand man David Weir and expressed his ‘huge respect’ for the club. Former Nottingham Forest, Derby and Preston manager Billy Davies is also desperate for the job. But McInnes is also being strongly discussed in the Rangers boardroom after leading Aberdeen to their first silverware since 1995 last term and pushing Celtic for the League Championship this season. It’s far from certain the 43-year-old would return to the club he played for between 1995 and 2000. Under contract at Pittodrie until the summer of 2017, McInnes recently completed the signings of Inverness defender Graeme Shinnie and is pursuing a deal for Ross County’s Paul Quinn. With no contact having been made so far, Rangers have yet to establish if he would seriously consider dropping down to manage in the Scottish Championship after leading the Dons into Europe for a second successive season. Or what the compensation bill might be. Warburton is also in the running despite concerns over his pedigree and potential wage demands. The Englishman left Brentford at the end of the season and offered his first comment on the link, saying: ‘Rangers are a massive club. ‘I have huge respect for the size of the club and the fanbase at Rangers. Who wouldn’t? ‘I am well aware of the tradition and history of the club, so I would never be anything other than absolutely respectful of a club of that stature.’ Former Rangers winger Neil McCann, meanwhile, believes McCall is no longer an option in the aftermath of the Motherwell defeat, telling Sky Sports: ‘If he had taken them up I’d say he is the right man for the job, but he had seven wins in his time in charge and that’s not a sparkling stat. ‘He’ll admit to that and he tried his utmost but the results aren’t good enough.’
  4. Ashley was on Tyneside for the Sports Direct end-of-season conference in the early part of the week and is understood to have spoken to Charnley at length about the plans for next season. He has given the green light to spending a big chunk of last seasons profit on new players to take the club away from the trouble that they found themselves in until the final week of last season. And interestingly the club are also looking at bringing in a couple of young development players as they look to replicate the success of the Ayoze Perez deal. Concern about the crop of players coming through the Academy is nothing new and it has been re-stated in recent weeks when Newcastle had little to draw upon from the youth set-up despite a flurry of injuries and suspensions. Despite a re-organising of the Academy there arent many that will be able to make the next step and of those who might, United will send Adam Armstrong out on loan after seeing him stagnate this season. Shane Ferguson, Haris Vuckic and Gael Bigirimana will also be free to leave and Newcastle have released Jonas Gutierrez and Ryan Taylor as part of a cull of first-teamers. Newcastle admitted to making mistakes and know that they need to reclaim momentum
  5. Not expecting any change. McCall and Black will get the gig.
  6. Seems someone on Twitter jumped the gun on this. My son showed me this from his Facebook so sorry for misleading people: Man that collapsed in the Club Deck at Ibrox yesterday; alive and recovering in Hospital. His son said this on social media: "was my dad that had a seizure in the club deck, glad to say he's recovering in hospital. Medics seemed to take ages to get there but a massive thanks to everyone that came to help, especially the off duty doctors, myself and my brother didn't have a clue what to do. Hes a bit confused but already asking us to get him tickets for the Hibs game but one step at a time I think!!"
  7. I haven't got a link. My son showed me on his Twitter account that someone had died in the Club Deck. Only info I have unfortunately.
  8. What a Player Colin was. He puts the current lot to shame. There was never a lost cause when he played. He chased down everything and he must have been a defenders nightmare. I was privileged to see those first 2 games and he remains my hero to this day. He brings back some memories - that opening goal in the ECWC Final. Woooooft!
  9. Seems that STV have followed through with an article penned by Grant Russell about stricter sanctions for fan misbehaviour. That would seem OK on the face of it excepting the article has a picture of Rangers fans and the Union Flag so the message is very clear about who are the perpetrators .Interestingly his Twitter feed is full of compliments from bheast fans and he does not respond to Rangers fans who object. The PsyOps inflicted on the general Public by Scotland's media is blatantly obvious as are the outcomes we witness when Rangers fans are demonised at every opportunity. What a sad little Country Scotland has become with its obsessive politically correct culture riddled with handwringers.
  10. This same @AgentScotland say Wallace is being touted around English Clubs for £600-£800 but no interest so far. ICT interested in Nicky Clarke on loan but wages are off putting. He seems to be getting a few things right and is being followed by quite a few Scottish Jourmos.
  11. Vukcic on his way according to @AgentScotland on Twitter. Newcastle paying 100% of wages.
  12. The picture was posted by Templeton's girlfriend and quickly deleted by her. Nobody is certain it was last night and that needs to be established. If so what a slap in the face to Bears.
  13. According to Mark Snell at the SFA the ticket allocation was agreed last week. Rangers - 25000 Utd - 13000 That over 12,000 left and we are not guaranteed to be allocated any more.
