Boab 73 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Carlos Fit For Lisbon DEFENSIVE rock Carlos Cuellar will be fit for Thursday's UEFA Cup showdown with Sporting in Lisbon. Despite scare stories this morning over his fitness, the former Osasuna centre back will be ready for the second leg of the quarter-final in the Jose Alavalade Stadium. The brave Spaniard was not feeling 100 per cent on Sunday but still opted to play for Rangers at Tannadice and again performed solidly even although he was unfortunate to concede an own goal in the 3-3 draw with Dundee United which took Rangers seven clear in the SPL title race. The head cold he was suffering meant he was unable to attend a press launch yesterday for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year awards, in which he is one of the four nominees for the top prize. However, the Murray Park medical team are confident that Cuellar will take his usual place in the side on Thursday night and he will travel with the team tomorrow morning. Regular defensive partner Davie Weir is suspended for the match having accrued three yellow cards in Europe this season so it looks as though Christian Dailly will come in. http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ne...1284437,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfc_no1fan 13 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 They said last night he would make it, bed rest for a couple of days and he will be fine. Nothing to worry about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw69uk 123 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 After an earlier thread, am glad, but, still thinking we should drop hemdani back into defence, and have the midfield of Ferguson, Davis, Thomson... Think that would give us a big help in getting a goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted he's back for Thrusday He is our best player and I have nothing but respect for him and to put his hand up and play even when he was ill shows real heart. He scored an OG and missed the header clearance for another goal, IMO, he had an off day. No big deal. I too am delighted he is playing on Thu.
