Neil Lennon has invited Henrik Larsson to Celtics Training camp in Spain to help the Strikers be more clinical in front of goal If use Remember correctly Larsson Trained with Celtic once and the Following match we won 9-0 with Hooper and Stokes scoring Hat Tricks

The guy is a legend, Who served Celtic many seasons, scored twice in Uefa cup final and got a CL winners medal with Man Utd.
These players should be in no hurry to transfer out of the Celtic family, a huge global club, CL football for years to come. Some will never play at this level again. Look at Ki at Cardiff.

CL winner with Barca you meant..............kbt1978

Won the CL with Barca. Got EPL medal with Man U.

Your right but were we not told for years fat boyd was as good? The King left us to win a Premier league badge and a Champions league. Boyd went to turkey, blew it, then wound up in Portland in semi retirement........green jhedi

Charles Green has slammed the SFL for not having a winter break. Green said, " ee it's not right like, we were looking forward t' aving lads at t' training camp in Millport, we had scouted out three B&B's t' move lads in t' and had exclusive use of Millport primary's school pitch. The RFFF had agreed t'pay for ferry then we get told there's no break! It seems they just cant help puttin t' boot in"............green jhedi

What a compete joke he and ally are, you would think that the owners managers would know what league they are playing in and all the rules and breaks. If they are serious about not knowing about this and I was a supporter I would be ashamed that the ppl runnin the club know nothing about the league they play in. Having another boot at them? Ya like they are the only ones not having a break, has div 3 ever had a break? Why must they always come out with dumb shiat every time Celtic are involved, maybe they are trying to stay in the light so ppl don't forget aboot them, bigger joke of a club now more so then the old one?

Longmuir of SFL agreeing SPL model of two leagues splitting into three divisions only viable way forward.

So if that sets up next season, Rangers would be in div2 which would be new bottom tier with current div3 clubs plus bottom of div2 clubs. So playing the same teams next year. Probably against ten men again lol.

24 clubs in SPL with 18 in SFL.

Then a further year to get into spl2 and a further year to spl1.

However will they make any money with all the dreadful overheads? Will Sally walk away? Will he be sacked cause he's a crap manager?

The whole split thing is a joke, there is so many things wrong with the idea least of all there will be no spl 2 winners

The whole thing is half baked.They need to forget this playing each other four times nonsense. Time to start listening to supporters i think............green jhedi

It's about having three SPL 8 team divisions for excitement for second half of seasons, to get punters to games and watch telly. And giving them something worthwhile to play for.
It gets Rankers to SPL a year early.

There is no guarantee that it will be up amd runnig for next season, most likely the year after and at that point rangers will be near top of division 2, which will gain them entry to spl2

never been an elgin fan but im getting to quite like them lol

Just checked the score.. and with ten men, not bad, part timers against peepul on 7 grand a week at home in front of world record crowd.. shammy

New world record for people booing at the end of a game in the third division?............green jhedi

Ha ha sally haha chuckles ha ha zombies let the good times roll
the tim way the grin x

And the red cards keep flowing. This has become an absolute joke! Seriously how many times have Sevco played 10 men this season. Ian Black is trying to break players legs last week and yet the opposition is getting reds everytime they play Rangers. F*ck off!

Oh and they still cant win convincingly, or even at all today.

Most of the media reckoned Sevco would go through the season without dropping a single point, then it was they won't lose any points at home......what's next?

05 Jan 2013 17:06:28
Is there a new rule in scottish football that new rangers can only play against 10 men ?....col

It's a world record!

Last old firm game ever, they cut Celtic down to ten men, as Celtic were cantering away with the title.

Didn't they cut us down to nine men?

Newcastle, where is it all going wrong. Out of the FA cup, 2 points off the relegation zone, Demba Ba off to Chelsea..

Sell the great wall to Celtic for £2m

Thank you Lord that Mike Ashley owns zero of our Club and has invested in The Rangers :-)

Mrs E

Im delighted about the state Newcastle are in as ive never liked their club which has strong Rangers links, and as for their manager, well where do i start........

Joeshmo1888

I agree, Newcastle fans and board have always thought they are a bigger club than they ever will be. Mediocrity is all they can ever hope for.

Watch the the (sevco) rangers youth go to Newcastle for pennies if they become half decent in the next three years.

The manager club and fans always insulted us and say how bad it is for forster to come here. Well they are the ones that look like a spl club(worse actually) and we are the big guns making big noises. If they ever want any of our players I say the have to pay more then another club, karmas a biatxh

Mrs E spot on as usual. What I cannot fathom is why they gave Pardew an 8 year contract and his backroom staff. To me that spells out complacency among Pardew, (even if sacked he gets millions) and the players also get in a rut.
newcastle have always been the perennial underachievers. Timalloy

They havn't always been pals . may 22nd 1969 . the fair cities cup . newcastle terrorised by rioting rangers fans after 2-0 defeat. over 100 injured . then, now, forever .. shammy

Well they are talking about giving the manager of Rangers a similar contract. Seems to be the way forward...if you want toFAIL ! Mrs E

Really dont know where newcastle fans get all the hype for theyr club from theyr rank rotten had like 2 decent seasons in the premierships wer they finished 2nd a believe they havnt won a cup in god knows how long never done anything in europe always middle of the table and yet they think theyr this big massive wel known club and slags us along with that absolute goon of a manager who slagged our league yet has been linked with izzy and broony.Guys a d**k and the fans r deluded always hated them even knocked back a ticket for shearers testimonial a few year ago due 2 the sheer hatred for theyr fans board and club in general.Crackin post Mrs E agree 110%

gunniebhoy

I think they won the fairs cup, so not bad. Don't confuse the clowns who run the club with the fans.

Fans are a joke too, i remember being at Newcastle Racing 7 or 8 years back and was in the pub across from the train station waiting on my train. All the Newcastle fans came back and when they found out there were a few Celtic fans in, the mood changed. We were told leave quickly, which we did. I remember walking across the street towards the train station and around a dozen came out and started singing Loyalist songs. Never liked them since.

Joeshmo1888

Agree Joshmo went down for Beardsleys testamonial and was abused so badly by one fan the police ejected him from the ground.Never liked them since, that erse Pardew well what can you say.

A Postcard from Marbella

Dear Ally

Wish you were here, temperature in
the 80's, my golf handicap is now much
lower thanks to the extra time on golf course.
Heard it is still pissing it down in Glasgow
oh well at least the rain is a great leveller
and will help your team cope with the
more talented players in div 3.
What with all the golf and salads I am
eating, I have lost 8lbs, (sorry Ally)
See you in a fortnight pal, enjoy Peterhead
in January..
Neil

See a piece in Scotsman about Celtic playing bad because The Rangers are not in the SPL ... To be honest I think its a lot simpler ...They have been missing a 20 plus goal a season man from Stokes injury ..You can see it ib the goals for ....the goals against havent dramatically changed or the chances created ...Its simply down to transfer windows and a key injury, nothing more .Hooper (if we can hold on to him) and Stokes will soon be banging them in again ... non story from Glen Gibbon..... TTTS

More sensationalised churnalism. The fact that The rangers are Journeying their way from the third division, and are enjoying it, means nothing.We have suffered at times not having a second out and out front man as you say.In my opinion we lack a bit of guile, in the Lubo mould, to slip quick short passes inside defenders.Even in the games we have dropped points i think the stats are considerably in our favour...........green jhedi

Another futile attempt to link Celtic with sevco, ridiculous fiction.
Next they'll be mentioning old firm. Dead and gone already.
Why didn't he write about something more important like the five rangers sectarian bigots alighting at Stirling who assaulted a passenger on the train.
Celtic are 9 points ahead and game in hand against most. Missing nobody.

Morning Ed. I'm a Rangers fan, season ticket holder and I have been to most away games this season also. So I am as big a fan of Rangers as any.

One thing that bothers me, and I am just looking to see what Celtic supporters think, is this whole idea that a Rangers fan is not a real Rangers fan if he shows any kind of interest in Celtic. This is ridiculous. The thing that makes the Old Firm derby the best in world football is the banter between fans who know how to keep it at just that, banter! Rangers fans claiming Celtic are obsessed and vice versa, bore off. Do I have an interest on what's going on at Celtic? Damn right, that's what makes it the biggest rivalry in football. Anyone who claims otherwise is putting on a front to "fit in".

Almost as boring as Celtic fans still calling Rangers sevco, and Rangers fans calling Celtic Pacific Shelf. It's childish and petty. Rangers, despite being in Division 3, are regularly drawing the largest crowds in Scotland. And you all know as well as I do, that we WILL be back. Despite what you might say to look cool in front of your pals, this is as sure as the nose on your face. Celtic have reached the last 16 of the Champions League and beaten Barcelona in the process and will win their respective leagues, as expected, by big margins.

So I can assure all Celtic fans that we are very much alive and well. As is the Old Firm Derby. I for one have missed it immensely this year, and I make no apology for that. It is only a matter of time before we are going head to head again and the one thing that Scottish Football has to be proud of is back and as good as ever.

SC93

Ah naw mate. Old firm is finish with. Ive no interest what ur new club do. Rangers as the club that played in old firm is gone for good and I don't miss it one bit. Don't come on here being mr nice trying to let on it's the same club it ain't. So good look to ur new club. Bigirishmac.

SC93, we know this new club is alive & well in Div 3 but no, you won't be 'back'. The club you speak of in Div 3 have never played in any other league in Scotland other than Div 3.

I also know you have a smashin attendance for a Div 3 club, I complimented you on it in another post so I'm not sure the reasoning behind drawing attention to it again.

There is loads of Scottish fans who will miss the Celtic v Rangers derby but I can tell you who will not, our Manager. He is thriving this season away from the 'pressure' it brought.

I really don't know what you expect Celtic fans to say of your current plight, I really don't. Do you expect us to stop supporting Celtic and go to Ibrox and add to the huge crowd, do you expect other SPL clubs to do that ? That's not the way supporting your team works, when your team leaves Div 3 in the summer..Annan, Clyde, Peterhead ets fans will all still turnout at these Parks to support their team. Does that make them less of a supporter than you or me just because there aren't as many of them as there are Celtic and Rangers fans ?

Mrs E

What a strange post. I agree that the baiting is an essential part of club rivalry. I do however notice you use the phrase"Old Firm", sorry but that's over now. As for the Sevco references is that not exactly what you would say is banter? As for Pacific Shelf, believe me mate we just laugh at you with that one.As for your Galactic world record crowds, well done, bet you cant wait till ally parades the attendance cup round ibrox eh? Oh, wait, lets total the figures at the end of the season, who knows there night be a team who has more through the turnstiles paying a bigger average price. As for your team being back, back to where? you have only played in the third division! Missed the rangers games, nah, not really. Of course YOU will miss it, but i think you will find we are fine thanks. CL qualifiers, CL group stage and a MASSIVE last 16 v Juventus has more than filled any gap left by a defunct club. You think Scottish Football is proud of the old games? What part? The sectarian bile?The violence? The terrible atmosphere in the city the day of the game? people on both sides hijacked this game and ruined it.I do not miss it..............green jhedi

OP you're a supporter of a brand new club there has been lists posted here that can not be challenged, 28 legal and regulatory reasons why its a new club. Your Ed on the other site refuses to post that list. It doesn't make it go away. Flagrantly breaking insolvency law to use the old club's branding, images, colours, badges, etc.... To then say its the same rangers is very wrong and illegal.

Oldfirm died with rangers, new club arrives in division three with inherited support best of luck to you
we ll start a new rivallry if and when
u play your first season in the top division, there simple enough for you to understand ?

Celtic and Rangers, in the old firm both won battles on the pitch, although the last 11 years were corrupted by rangers illegally fielded players. However, Celtic won the war, end of. Rangers down fallen, deceased and ended. Implosion from within destroyed the club.

This new The Rangers International is a brand new club, finding its feet and a semblance of financial footing in the bottom of football, playing local amateurs. Allowed into SFL without mandatory 4 years accounts.

I don't miss playing rangers at all. I never liked them you see. I don't like this newco either, in fact even less. Debt dodging bums that they are.
