Could Celtic and Rangers meet again in the English Premier League, thus creating a British super league?
There was a report in the British press earlier this week in which the UK prime minister David Cameron is said to have expressed his desire for the Glasgow "Old Firm" of Celtic Football Club and Rangers Football Club to join the English Premier League (EPL).
Interview: Alex McLeish on Aston Villa, Birmingham, Everton, Rangers and those Scotland rumours... is a post from: Just Football
As part of their association with the League Managers Association (LMA), internet corporation Yahoo! sent over a transcript of an interview with former Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Glasgow Rangers and Scotland manager Alex McLeish.
Maurice Edu has found a new home and when he gets there he will see a familiar face.
The U.S. national team midfielder/defender has signed with English Premier League squad Stoke
City, agreeing to personal terms with the club on Saturday. He joins the Potters just as U.
When Rangers were relegated to the Third Division after their financial armageddon, two things
immediately became clear. Firstly Celtic were nailed on to win the Premier League, and Rangers the
same to win the Third Division. Whilst both might still happen, Rangers began their season with a
huge shock at Balmoor in Peterhead, a ground [.

It has been one roller coaster ride of a year for Maurice Edu.
The U.S. national team midfielder has seen his club team, Glasgow Rangers, fall into the
nightmarish reality of financial ruin, but he has also seen his national team stock rise as he has
become a regular starter for Jurgen Klinsmann.
Jonthan Spector was subbed out in the 44th min by Birmingham today due to a thigh injury and they
promptly gave up goals in the 45th and 48th min to be eliminated from the English Championship
division promotion playoffs.

Despite his 3 game suspension being over, Rafa Marquez will not be in the New York game day 18
tonight due to an ankle injury.
Bei den Glasgow Rangers geht es nach dem Zwangsabstieg im letzten Jahr wieder bergauf. Doch gleichzeitig gibt es auch Ärger, denn der schottische Fussballverband strebt eine Reform des Profifussballs an und das würde bedeuten, dass die Rangers trotz sportlichen Aufstiegs in der untersten schottischen Liga bleiben würden.
Peterhead, Stirlingshire, Berwick, Elgin. Das sind schottische Orte, die man als Fan der Glasgow
Rangers eigentlich nicht kennen sollte. Aber langsam muss man sich mit dem Gedanken vertraut
machen, dass die Vereine aus diesen kleinen Ortschaften die neuen Gegner der Glasgow Rangers sind.
Es wird sich so schnell daran auch nichts ändern und da können [.

The New England Revolution and Houston Dynamo have a long history with each other. The two
rivals met back-to-back years in the MLS Cup final (2006 & 2007), with the Dynamo edging the Revs

Glasgow Rangers winger Sone Aluko.
United States international Maurice Edu appears set to move to England as he closes in on
signing a deal with Championship outfit Ipswich Town. Edu is currently contracted to Glasgow
Rangers, but Ally McCoist has admitted a move could be imminent despite pen not hitting paper just
yet.
"There is nothing at the moment," McCoist told Sky Sports News.
Reader Douglas McNeill wrote the following about Fulham's Finances. Enjoy...
With Euro 2012 over, the summer transfer market will soon be getting underway in earnest. So I
thought that it might be instructive to take a look at Fulham's finances. I earn my living in the

Glasgow Celtic won their 43rd league championship in Scotland this season
In the final installment of Stoppage Time International Football Blog's review of the
season nine leagues, ranging from Spain to Turkey and Scotland to Wales, are featured to complete
this 2011-12 round-up:
SCOTLAND
Scottish football has gone through some emotions in the past nine months as Glasgow
Celtic won their first league championship for four years whilst their arch rivals Glasgow
Rangers are facing a very different fight with the tax man as the club's very survival is at
stake.
Who will get their hands on the UEFA Champions League trophy tonight?
It may not be the "dream final" that the majority of the world's football fans had craved but
for tonight's UEFA Champions League final opponents, FC Bayern München and Chelsea FC, the
culmination of their own dream is so near.
The New York Red Bulls have yet to make a final decision on a head coach, but they have apparently found the man to give the club a strong American influence on the coaching staff.
Sources have told SBI that the Red Bulls are closing in on hiring former U.
The Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is reported to be in serious negotiations with Glasgow Rangers FC, to get the naming rights to the club's famous Ibrox Stadium.

The U.S. WNT had some special guests today at training as the three U.S. Men's National Team
players who play (well, played) for the Glasgow Rangers were nice enough to stop by to watch some
practice and wish their WNT counterparts all the best in their Olympics.
Rangers have been declared bankrupt due to years of mismanagement. They consumed a hubristic
formula of reckless expenditure in an effort to destroy their other half, Celtic. They failed. And
were left weak to the point of death.
With the International Transfer Window opening on Wednesday, New England made a handful of moves
to prep their roster. The Revs activated midfielder Sainey Nyassi from the disabled list, while
parting ways with three players.
Central defender John Lozano was waived by the club, who also declined the July 1st contract
options of Bjorn Runstrom and Jeremiah White.

01.05.2012 - Días complicados vive el (Glasgow) Rangers como para que su
(movilizada) parcialidad protestante unionista resista los embates de un clásico (derby), el
último de la temporada, en casa de su rival campeón (35º jornada de la Liga Escocesa).
No es la condición de River en Argentina o América de Cali en Colombia pero los
Rangers, en el peor momento de su centenaria historia, con quiebra decretada y castigados
por la SFA (Scottish Football Association), llegaron al atestado Celtik Park con 18 puntos
menos que su rival (10 quitados por sanción) para ver como festejaban el título (ya logrado el
mes pasado) ante su público y sus propias narices.
