Stachan doesnt think he is up to the standard of Caldwell and McManus and thinks he'd be able to bring better players in if his wages were availabe to be used again! He was solid and reliable but sh1t on the ground, wish he would gtf now tbh but was a good player once upon a time. You should buy him Stealth-go on go on go on go on go on GO ON

Sorry Gerry - all our defenders have to be able to play a bit like (& I don't want to rub it in a certain ex Rangers player.

He is actually but I think he'll be back pretty soon. Still reserving judgement on his defending although he's certainly very good going forward. He's going to get serious competition from Chris Gunter very soon though.

Wonder what happened to us loaning Chris Gunter - I guess Ramos told us to naff off!

He is big and strong and can attack for a full back, but when defending Aiden McGeady ripped him more often than not, but Aiden is a class act!

Yeah but reading between the lines I think it means Nakamura is going back home in January

From what little I've seen of Nakamura that looks like a big loss for you but the Maloney deal looks almost done:-
Celtic have agreed a £1m fee for Shaun Maloney and have been given permission by Aston Villa to speak to him about a return to Parkhead. (The Scottish Sun)

It would be I do like Naka he is unbelievable at set pieces and can change a game in the blink of an eye, would be gutted to see him go but cest la vie

Not the smartest move is it? 1 year contract @28k pw is not as good as a 25k pw for 2 years

Gerry, how do you feel about Celtic & Rangers joining the Premiership? I don't think it's likely to happen but, if it could be arranged, the extra money would give you a better chance of really competing in Europe - although you'd have a tougher job qualifying for a while at least.

Post by gerry09 on Aug 28, 2008 16:57:57 GMT
Not really for it, we are a Scottish team with Irish roots, we should stay in Scotland, but on the other hand the money would be good and with the size of our club + sky money we could and would compete for titles and in Europe but i'd prefer to stay put. And do you think England would welcome rangers back after their wee jaunty down in may

I certainly don't think Mancheter would! I know the quality of football in Scotland is not bad but wondered if you ever hankered after watching £10-15m players rather than £5 or 6M because that's obviously not going to change with the current state of affairs.

No it's croatian mate...as for the potato famine...
Irish diplomats have raised concerns with the Scottish Government over chanting by a section of the Rangers support at last month's Old Firm match.
Representations were made by Ireland's Consul General after a Celtic supporter complained about a song which refers to the Irish potato famine.
Rangers FC said it has asked its fans to refrain from singing the song.
The Scottish Government confirmed it had been advised by Ireland's Consul General of the Celtic fan's complaint.
The controversy surrounds a song which referred to the famine which killed an estimated one million people in the 1840s and set in motion the mass migration of Irish people.
The song includes the line: "The famine's over, why don't you go home".
Rangers Football Club approached Strathclyde Police for guidance on this matter Rangers FC spokesman
After the song was sung by some Rangers supporters at last month's Old Firm game, a Celtic fan wrote to the Irish Embassy in London to complain.
The Irish consul general in Edinburgh raised the issue at her regular meeting with the Scottish Government.
The Scottish Government made no comment on the discussions, but insisted that several campaigns against bigotry were beginning to work.
A spokesman said: "The Scottish Government is totally committed to combating sectarianism and bigotry, which is why we have expanded on the work of the previous administration and are doing more.
"We are working with the clubs themselves, as they are part of the solution to the problem."
Sporting behaviour
A spokesperson for Rangers said: "In the days following the recent Old Firm match, the Club were made aware that a substantial number of complaints had been made regarding the singing of the chorus of a song known as 'The Famine Song' by our supporters at this match.
"Rangers Football Club approached Strathclyde Police for guidance on this matter, with a view to issuing a joint statement indicating that persons singing this song in future may face the possibility of arrest.
"Strathclyde Police were not able to commit to this until they had carried out further investigation."
The spokesman said the club had a long-established policy of encouraging sporting behaviour and discouraged the singing of songs which others found offensive.
"Clearly 'The Famine Song' has provoked such a response in certain quarters," he added.
"It is the club's view that the interest of our supporters and the club will be best served by supporters refraining from singing 'The Famine Song'."
