Im not a fan of Rangers, but i really want them to do the quad!


I've been talking about the Quad since we dropped out of the Champions League. I never really thought it would happen, not in my wildest dreams! And when you consider how poor we have played this season, its unbelievable that we are chasing any trophies! But good on you, for cheering us on. Really most of Britain should be cheering us on next Wednesday, but I guess there will be quite a few who want us to lose also! (The SPL and Celtic)

I know you're refering to the fact that the SPL didn't agree to give you more time to prepare for the final, but in reality i'm sure they'd love it if you win - good publicity for the league, but more importantly it raises the league coefficient. You never know, Scotland do well for the next couple of years you could earn yourself another champions league place.
I personally will be supporting Rangers of course.

I believe our UEFA co-efficient as a country is 5th this year. Ahead of Italy, Turkey, Portugal, France. Smile

Doubt we'll ever get another Champs League place. But your right about the publicity of the league. Maybe foreigners wont think of the SPL as a mickey mouse league anymore. Doubt that too though. And you'd think that the SPL would want to help Rangers a little to win the Uefa Cup. I dont see how moving our league games will increase our chances in the SPL, those games still have to be played in a short space of time. So I dont see the SPL's and Celtics argument!

I know its easy for me to say this now but I wouldnt begrudge Celtic the opportunity if it was the other way around.

And if Rangers win the UEFA Cup, and qualify for the group stages of the CL, they'll be in Pot 2. Very Happy

If we win the league arent we automatically in the Group stages?

Who do you want to see brought in during the summer? (realistically speaking of course_

Hopefully our UEFA Cup run will attract more players to us from the continent. Apparently we were trying to sign Klasnic on a Bosman, would love to see him at Ibrox next season, allegedly big Dado gave us a glowing report.

I think we need a right back who can attack and cross, a no-nonsense centre back (someone like Tavlaridis from St Etienne or that Morris guy at Panathinakos) and a winger and a good quality striker (someone in the Klasnic mould) Would hope to have between £10-15 million to spend in the summer.

Alan Hutton??? lol

A couple of proven players would be nice. You're right though. Right back desperately. Hopefully Steven Smith can get back to replace Papac. So dont need left back. A good winger, maybe Harry Kewell??? And if we can offload Cousin then get a striker. Would love to see Crouchy play for us! Doubt it though!

Papac has been outstanding this season, our unsung hero considering he's a CB - we don't need anyone at left back!

If we get a left back, then Papac will need to stay in the defence and partner Cuellar. Smile

No, I dont think we need a LB. But Stevie Smith should be first choice. Use Papac as back up for LB and CB. Remember Weir, isnt going to be around for more than 1-2 seasons. If that!

Who Crouch?  Why not? he'd get more starts than at Liverpool. Be playing in Europe and his holding up of the ball is excellent. He'd also be very usefull at setpieces, attacking and defending. I think his game would suit the SPL well. And he's a down to earth guy. Dont need to pay him 60 grand a week.

Well we'll need to see how Smith is when he comes back from injury. I think Weir will depart in the summer, an opportunity to buy a younger centre-back because Webster is too injury prone.

I think even if Rangers win the UEFA cup, they will only go directly to the group stages of the CL next season if they win the league, otherwise they'll be in the second qualification round.
