At the rate the Scottish teams are going, they might actually end up with less co-efficient points than the Irish teams this season.

Hope to god a LOI team doesn't get that lot in the Europa League qualifiers. European football should be an enjoyable experience for clubs & fans

Rovers (& potentially Sligo) could get either of the Old Firm.

The Gardai would love that

It's not an open draw though, they put teams in sections before it's made I think.

Is it time to bring back Smith, someone who knows what hes doing on the sidelines!

Someone tell Alistair you can use three subs during the game!

Give McCoist a bit of credit, he's only had a couple of games.

You can add Edu and Naismith too, by rights they should have joined Bougherra and Whittaker.

That £300,000 bid Buraspor made for Whittaker is looking less like a joke offer now I reckon. Keeping him may have just cost Rangers £15,000,000 on top of a ridiculous amount of wages over the next 3 years as he was by far the worst Rangers player over the two legs.

Possibly but what about the missed chances in the first leg and the two utterly stupid lack of discipline in tonights game. The players need to take responsibility for it more than anything imo.

The only players come out of the two ties looking somewhat well are McGregor, Papac, Jelavic and maybe Davis.

Whittaker by a country mile was the worst, however Edu, McCulloch, Ortiz (where was he hiding all game tonight?), Bougherra and Naismith have alot to answer for. Rangers were the better side over the two legs and if those guys had put in half an effort it would have been a comfortable win.

McCoist should have thrown caution to wind and used all his subs in the last 10 minutes, there were too many tired legs on the pitch for both sides and some fresh energy could have made a difference.

Crazy Horse 6

Hopefully McCoist can keep the job long term.:D

Pompey Magnus

Bougherra could be on his way off for just £1.7m according to the BBC, McCoist seems resigned to him going. Not quite the £3m reported a few days ago though.

What ever happened with Cuellar, I never heard that he turned down the contract offer, is he still considering?

Dempsey

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/14402785.stm

Scottish Premier League chief executive Neil Doncaster has said Rangers' Champions League exit will have financial implications for the SPL.

Rangers could/should retort that the SFA/SPL/SFA mismanagement of the Scottish Game affects all clubs. Neil Doncaster would be doing well to shut his mouth and sort out the problems that he's suppose to have done ages ago.

Any sign of the war chest yet lads???

Seriously SEVEN failed bids for Goodwillie... what's a joke about that is that Blackburn had a bid acceptd therefore Rangers would have known exactly how much they would have had to bid in order to get the player... so why couldn't they? And why did they go back time after time after time after time yet not meet the evaluation?

A complete joke!!!

I think they REJECTED the chance to sign him!

Maybe some of the warchest was spent on the likes of Whittaker, he's reported to be on 20-25k a week on a 5yr deal. He should be dropped too imo, He cost them over the two legs big time.

The "high horse" comes from the fact that Rangers fans are just finishing a ban for repeatedly causing trouble in a variety of European cities, including one city in your own United Kingdom where your supporters attacked members of one of Her Majesty's police forces.

On the other hand, no LOI team's fans have ever been been banned from European football, or come close. Indeed the only incidents of major trouble between Irish fans and those of another European team have generally been with the previously mentioned, and well known anti-Catholic & anti-Irish club, the famous Glasgow Rangers.

LOI fans are not perfect, but they are head & shoulders above yours. Should a LOI club's fans "idiots" ever travel to Osasuna, Villareal, Manchester, Barcelona or any other European city and wreak havoc, then I will take this all back. Until then you might say the position on the high horse is very well merited!

Doesn't look like he sees a future at Rangers as he signed a new contract at Arsenal this week, should do a good enough job this season but he is no Bougherra.

It's far too early to say that, he didn't play that many games for you last season (just 5 in the league) and he was poor in both Old Firm defeats which he played in, he was lucky not to have been sent off in the first of these at the very start of the game, he got himself a silly yellow and then had to be cautious for the entire game and had he been sent off he'd have probably been made the scapegoat for what became a heavy beating and fans may not have looked quite as favourably on his loan period.

He looked decent but then Rangers' style of play under Smith made a 40 year old Weir look decent too. It is all well and good if he impressed in games against teams like St Mirren but until he performs in the big games then he can't really be compared to Bougherra.

No its not as I said the last time Rangers fans came to our fair country they were met by hails of missiles and attacked for no reason also this anti catholic and anti Irish stuff is complete nonsense Yes we have a section of fans who feel that way but they are not welcomed by the club or by the majority of Rangers fans. Much the same as Celtic have a section of support who are anti Protestant and anti British but I know that again they are in the minority.
Tell me this have you ever interacted with Rangers fans in real life ?
I am afraid that you are just the sort of person that will keep the hatred going to the extent of it being violent. You write about the bans the club have had and also the example of Manchester well I have condemned these as have most other Rangers fans as I said in an earlier post

Never mind I know from personal experience that not all Irishmen feel like you and you are a slowly dying bread. So enjoy yourself on your high horse just be careful you don't fall off now.

You were probably looking at Follow Follow, a fanzine so bigoted that even the board at Ibrox banned it from being sold at the ground. From a book quoting the match:

"the loyalist influence was obviously a major factor in the trouble that marred the clubs european tie with bohemians in dublin 1984.the irish club ran out winners but it was the violence that grabbed the headlines.disorder broke out at half-time when rangers fans clashed with police at one end of the ground and continued after the final whistle.while praising the irish part times ,rangers manager jock wallace slammed his own violent supporters.we dont want them he said.they are a disgrace to the club.they are ruining the name of glasgow rangers and we,d prefer it if they stayed away from our games"

I suppose if you go to any country, and your club is littered with songs attacking that country and its people, then some idiots will rise to the bait. The difference between Rangers & most other clubs is that they go looking for trouble, and generally get it.
LOI fans do not, and hence no trouble appears. They go to enjoy the European occasion, which would not happen should they draw Rangers. Which was the point of my original post.

Celtics fans (and all other Scottish teams fans) seem to behave themselves abroad, whereas Rangers fans seem to go looking for trouble. I see you are switching this argument to Celtic v Rangers, whereas the conversation was about the deserved moral superiority LOI clubs fans have over your institution.

Indeed your fans create problems in places such as Osasuna & Villareal where trouble at European matches is quite rare. Of all the teams that have ever played European matches in Manchester, Rangers fans were the worst (Celtic, Shamrock Rovers & many other LOI/Scottish fans seemed to have behaved themselves whilst there). Indeed your fans had to be held like animals in Wigan and kept out of Manchester city centre before your last match in Old Trafford. You rank 108/108 on this list of visitors to Manchester and bottom of the list in many other European cities, including Dublin (the point of my original post - that I did not want any LOI to get Rangers in the draw):

Why do Celtic fans sing the Irish national anthem in Scotland which is a country in the UK? In circles we go. Lets see if we can get to 2 pages without any of this being brought up.

Trying hard not to get involved in these stupid discussions this season, but can't let this go.

How can you compare the singing of a national anthem to the singing of a racist song?

I wasn't comparing them in the offensive bracket. Of course it can't be compared. But it is the same old argument that can go in circles on what fans sing and what is relevant and irrelevant if we go down this argument.

Pompey Magnus

Rangers get Maribor (who?)
Hearts get Spurs.

KeithAFC

That Hearts game will be interesting.. hopefully lol.

Maribor put Hibs out 2 years ago, 6-2 on aggregate, went out to Palermo 5-3 in the next round. Perhaps not a mickey mouse team.

LOL I don't read FF never have I know what happened I was at the game and yes Rangers fans kicked off at half time After being attacked on there way to the stadium It was wrong but it seems you are not willing to recognise what happened outside the ground these attack came long before TFS was even thought of so what songs were sung attacking Ireland .

If you had ever looked through either the old Celtic thread or the Rangers thread you will see that I had no time for TFS Personally I couldn't care what LOI fans sing and if you weren't so obsessed with Rangers we wouldn't be having this discussion. I asked earlier if you have had any interaction with Rangers fans that was silly of me as you obviously live in a world where all things Rangers are evil so I will let you go back into your wee bubble and carry on any discussions in this thread with the more sensible people.Oh just spotted you lived in the north for 27 years and equate the Rangers fans from there as the majority so far off the mark its not true that would be like me saying the Celtic fans I know from the North are like the Majority there not I say this as I know many tic fans from the North also I would like to say I know many decent Tic and Rangers Fans from the North unlike you I won't tag everyone with the same brush

I have said it before and I will say it again this thread is just an opportunity for certain factions to have a go at all things Rangers.

Knock yourself out you won't get anymore reply's from me as I have better things to do with my time

Why do Rangers supporter immediately look for something that Celtic 'did' to justify or play down their problems, even when Celtic have nothing to do with the argument?

Also, LOL at Keith comparing a racist song to a national anthem!

Bougherra is gone for £1.7 million. He was a player I was always expecting, when he would leave, he would make Rangers good money in a transfer fee, I didn't expect him to make a loss for the club.
