soulboy 2,521 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 superb news http://m.heraldscotland.com/sport/13716864.Rangers_boss_Mark_Warburton_reveals_his_players_face_daily_urine_tests_as_part_of_new_regime/?ref=ebls MARK Warburton, the Rangers manager, has revealed that the code of conduct now in place within Murray Park extends to players being suspended from training and fined if they fail to pass daily urine tests. The 53-year-old Englishman has become known for his thoroughness and approach to strong self-discipline since taking over the reins, with emphasis being placed on making sure his squad is always at optimum physical levels. “From the first day, the players created a code of conduct and they police it themselves, from time-keeping to urine tests every morning,” he said. “If a player doesn’t hit the levels in urine testing, he has one hour to rehydrate or he doesn’t train. If he doesn’t train, he’s fined. If he doesn’t train, there’s a good chance he won’t play. “Their urine is tested every morning because hydration is a massive part of what we do. The first thing you should do as pro footballer when you get out of bed is drink a bottle of water. The second thing is, during the run in the car, have a drink on the way to the training ground. Hydration is important in terms of injury and flexibility. “You can’t control the referee, you can’t control a pitch, but you can control certain things.” Warburton has made it clear that rules over professional conduct extend every bit as much to him as others. “We have to maintain the highest levels of discipline and standards of behaviour,” he said. “If we don’t, we’re weak as group. The obvious thing for us is that the image of the football department is first-class. “If any player or staff member steps out of line, they won’t be part of what we’re doing. It’s that simple. It’s not an idle threat. I’m sure if I stepped out of line, I’d be gone. It would be the right thing to do. At any football club, especially one of this size and stature, we’ve got a responsibility.” Warburton has also given the strongest hint yet that he would like to stay at Ibrox beyond his three-year contract. “Look around,” he said. “One look at the Ibrox entrance hall tells you what a magnificent club it is. I’d love to be here for a long time. If I’m here long-term, it will mean I’ve achieved my goals, like bringing big European nights back to Ibrox. “The fans want those atmospheres back and I have to deliver.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 He's not going to get a crack of Champions League down south. Mid table EPL mediocrity doesn't look like would satisfy him. He wants to win things and compete on the highest stage possible. Taking us to latter stages of the worlds biggest club competition is better than any job in England outside the top 5 or 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I genuinely believe this guy is here to leave a legacy, to win trophies, to win trebles. The longer we keep a hold of him the better, but if the above happens I'd imagine him walking into a top, top job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coplandbear11 1,087 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Fucking love the man more and more every day. Not only has he restored us as football force, he's tore up the book and started again and dragged us into the 21st century, at the same time ge respects our clubs history and traditions. Long may he reign. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spion kop 233 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I suspect from last Easter he has been looking at every one of our facebooks, twitters and read every post on here and other forums and acted accordingly, he wants what we want, he demands the same high standards that we have all grown up with, he will be the manager I will tell my grand children about the same way as my granda told me about Mr Struth and Mr Waddell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
