calderbear 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hopefully there can be some discussion between the higher powers of the clubs about how we can modernise and use our fantastic facilities as well as Ajax do when ity comes to nurturing talent!Modernise our facilities?Can this mean that they are finally going to paint the steps etc. at Ibrox?Maybe we have some promising artists coming through the ranks that can do the job!Either that or get some of our media department (what a joke) to apply some of their ubiquitous whitewash.

mark_ni 12 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 this is exactly the type of team we need to be playing a friendly, a big european side that is going to test our squad. Far better than last year playing stupid sides that barely test the squad. The friendlies against ajax and chelsea should give us an idea of what we need to do to progress in the champions league next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
