ed , i hear from a very reliable source , i can not name him , so lets just call him 0039 . that there are two excellent young lads setting the heather on fire for some team in the scottish third division. . lewis macleod and barrie mckay . i've never seen them but apparently they are standouts every game against plumbers and joiners . do you think either is worth a punt at wait for it .... £1m .. shammy {Ed007's Note - I have no idea Shammy, I don't watch that level of league football, it is dire.}

I have seen them three times while watching my godson, a wee ger, if his Mum and Dad are working.Decent prospects but after years of the coaching and facilities at The rangers they should be standing out against part time players. There is deffo ability there but next year will be a step up again. £1m? Even buying potential i would think no more than 300k but with add ons to reach the million............green jhedi

Gj, i was takin the p1ss ..shammy

They rave about these guys and they are playing nobody . also rave about templetim . i tried to point out earlier but never made it on . templetim scores just about a goal per game for them , with stenhousemuir and raith about a goal every 2.5 games , and in the spl a goal every 7+ games . hes not brilliant like they say he has just found his level.. shammy

@ Shammy; I know mate but the funny thing is they are not! They actually think £1m would be the fee..........green jhedi

You rave on about the young celtic squad with potential who struggled to beat arbroath over 180mins

@5. Ok the sfl div 3 is better than the cl. We give in.

I thought arbroath were div2?

5] our young boys have been beating yours for about a vagillion years . did we not win the under 19's for the last ten years

I was just listening to Stuart McCall's interview and to be fair he does compliment Celtic but why do Manager's go on about their 'young team', is the Celtic team full of players in their late 20's/early 30's...?

We have an 18yr old scoring against Barcelona, our goalkeeper is 24, Wanyama's 21, Matthews 20, Forrest 21 etc and we are not afraid to play players like McGeouch 19.

We have an excellent youth set-up with the team being invited to play in the Next Gen competition.

I just don't get why they can use 'we have a young team' as an excuse when its Celtic they are playing.

Incidentally, Stuart McCall also thinks they had a shout for 2 penalties. Thought the ref had a shocker now I've seen some of the game back but 3 points and excellent save from big Fraser...whit a guy :-)

Another win ... just done enough ...9 clear game in hand ...nice to see Commons back ....some shocking refereeing ...TTTS

This ref is some piece of work.

Fraser is the man.

Melb Bhoy

Disgrace all afternoon, gave us nothing. Steven McLean was his name. If you watch the penalty he has not given anything ans is looking away with the play when he hears a few players asking for a penalty and he all of a sudden turns back and points to penalty spot. Surely he needs to explain this, it was as bad as that wee turd Willie Colllm when he gave the penalty to the old Rangers with his back turned.........martyc1888

Ah, the ref was Stevie McLean. The Stevie McLean, who's brother came through the ranks at Rangers, and chose to play for Northern Ireland. Not making things up. Not claiming conspiracy. Just a bit odd that he gave us nothing

Samson

I thought all this stuff would be resigned to the dustbin with sevco playing in the third division but apparently not, booked for pointing out the ball was not on the spot...ridiculous , and some people call us paranoid , I certainly don't think so, more fighting for a level playing field , the smirk on his face told the story

Green Judge

Good post Green Judge something has to be done surely this can't go unpunished
Rob

Ref clearly needs remedial training. Needs more time in junior divisions.
More refs decisions being rescinded by SFA complaints committee than ever before.

@5. No remedial training needed. Knew exactly what he was doing today. Will be 'rewarded' in time by his paymasters. Not bad refereeing just sad this still goes on in our game.

I havent seen the decision so i will just have to take everyone's word for it. but you are all proving only an excuse right with the accuracy of there sketch.

'When human life is at stake this kind of hatred seems sordid and little. Fans of both sides will never forget this disaster.'

Thoughts are with those affected by the Ibrox disaster on this day in 1971

Rest In Peace the 66

Just saw Ian Blacks tackle on Annan player. He has the hard neck to call the players in the 3rd Div hatchet men too!
Shocking tackle.

Kilmarnock have completed the signing of midfielder Rabiu Ibrahim from Celtic on a two-year contract.

The 21-year-old has decided to move to Rugby Park club in search of regular first-team football.

Ibrahim had other offers from Scottish Premier League clubs to go on loan, and the Nigerian also had the chance to move to Russia.

But the player, who has been included in Nigeria's preliminary squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, was persuaded to join the Ayrshire club by Killie boss Kenny Shiels.


Bit of a shocker, hoped to see him do well for us however its not going to be the case. Good luck rabiu, shame its killie
"He's signed a two-year deal with us, " said Shiels.

"I believe it's quite a coup for Kilmarnock and we are a good fit for him.

"Rabiu had an offer from a club in Russia but he and his advisors thought it would be better for his career development to stay in Scotland and they were equally as keen as we were for the deal to go through.

"We signed him on a free transfer. He's away with the Nigeria squad for the AfCon at the moment.

"I believe January 9 is the deadline for them to name their final squad. I would quite like him to be named in the squad for his confidence. If he is named then as soon as they go out of the competition he will join up with us."

RIP to the 66 rangers fans that didnt make it home that day,

Seconded. I was ten at the time and remember vividly the panic in my family as two of my cousins and an uncle were in the rangers end that day.Thankfully they were ok. To all the bigots, on both sides, think about going to a game and not making it home. To those who fell, RIP..........green jhedi

Absolutely disgusting. How can somebody press disagree

Samson

And still we have the usual fools pressing disagree buttons . Sad.......DH

Samson, wasn't me but sometimes its done by accident. On smartphones these minute buttons are far too close.

I was at the game . could just as easily been at our end. r.i.p .. shammy

Some people are f//kin disturbed how can you disagree with this
