Since todays football isn't exactly the best place to post random rangers news, and alot of the stuff doesn't deserve its own thread, here we go.


Firstly we'll start with, Buffel and Ehiogu have returned to full training today with a bounce match against QoS, with a 2-0 win. Gow and Burke were the scorers. Gow being motm.



Buffel looks to have bulked up a bit though, i'd like to see him get a fresh start under walter.

[Rosco]

I think Buffel will get a good run in the team hopefully, he's one of our players that really makes a difference in Europe. What was the XI for the QOTS game?

[Timmy]

Doesn't say on the website.

All i know if Buffel, gow, ehiogu, webster, burke, furman & novo all got a shot on. (From the pics on the rangers website.)

[AWESOMEUS MAXIMUS]

isn't burke at plymouth on loan?

[Timmy]

Nah, the bbc website got very VERY premature about that. Rangers accepted the bid, burke never apparently.

You know funny you should say that, because I was always dubious about Buffel, but when I watched the highlights from our entire UEFA cup run last year, Buffel was by far our best performer. Made me think that he may be worth keeping. Especially if Walter is going to continue with one up front. Buffel is a good guy to have in midfield to support the striker.

[Timmy]

I deffo think Buffel is in walters plans. Especially for away games in europe, 4-5-1... but who do u drop? Thommo, fergie or hemdani for buffel is the question.

[Fremlin]

... oh aye and I see that our game against East Fife has been switched to East End Park.

I deffo think Buffel is in walters plans. Especially for away games in europe, 4-5-1... but who do u drop? Thommo, fergie or hemdani for buffel is the question.

I suppose it depends, if we need a goal possibly Thommo, Fergie and Buffel. If we are trying to keep the score the same then Thomme, Fergie and Hemdani. I

[Westy]

East Fife are putting on free buses for all their 200 punters.

I think Buffel and Ugo need to go asap. Don't think they'll get much of a game. But Buffel could prove me wrong. He's just too inconsistent for my liking. Bit like Lovenkrands.

[DiamondAFC]

Ive watched gow in a few reserve games on the rangers channel this season and played well, just shame as cant see him getting much of a run unless games like east fife in cup.

Agreed with above post from westy buffel and ugo should go try and get little bit of cash they can.

[Stew]

Ive watched gow in a few reserve games on the rangers channel this season and played well, just shame as cant see him getting much of a run unless games like east fife in cup.

Will he even get a game against diddies like East Fife? McCulloch, Naismith, Beasley, Burke, Adam, etc.

[Rosco]

Aye, Buffel is a very good player, probably a bit better than Beasley in the same position.

Has anybody checked out the new "supporters" song on the site?

Its a bit cheesy.

I like the "We welcome the chase" and the "we are the people" bits in it. I wonder why this has been put up aw of a sudden...
