I'm sure that was said the last time and it was pretty much just Alexander who started.. maybe Whittaker rather than Kirk Broadfoot. The midfield at the moment is crying out for someone with creativity yet Buffel is left kicking his heels in the reserves.

I think Gow's career at Rangers is pretty much over, Motherwell would be a good move for him since they're an up and coming attractive and attacking team.

There's a clause in Buffel's contract we need to cough up more money when he plays a certain amount of games - Think he's something like 2 games short of the clause being effective.

I thought that was a joke? Rangers have a £10m 'warchest', surely it's not going to dent it to play a guy who's a creative and talented attacking midfielder. With Ferguson, Davis, Hemdani and Thomson they need someone like Buffel to compliment a striker in the 4-5-1 system, surely.

Anyway. 2-2 Boro v Man United was a turn up, why can Boro do that against United and Arsenal, but fail to beat shite teams? Madness!

Also, Barnsley 0-1 Cardiff.

I'd love to see Buffel playing again, cracking player.

That was a fucking amazing game to watch, we were lucky to get anything from it at all. Whittaker should never wear the shirt again, he was absolutely fucking garbage beyond belief. Cannot remember the last time he looked any good at all. Once again Walter's subs were a fucking joke.

One point though, i'll take it. Not looking forward to the Lisbon game at all though.

THe rangers and unt game yesterday was an advertisment on how not to defend it could have been six each fair play to the gers comming back three times when in the past would have gave up lets hope we get the same result on thursday in potugal

What so Whittaker's being playing shite?

Surprised at that, he was shit hot at Hibs when I watched him play. I never watch Rangers match and heard nothing about him, but had noticed Broadfoot starting at the right in Europe.

With the Rangers game being a end-to-end one team scores and then the other does, and with Manchester United drawing 2-2 with Middlesbrough when most expected them to win yesterday was a good day for neutrals of those teams.

Gutted that I missed Match of the Day, I wish they'd put it on the BBC iPlayer.
