Continuing our series of great Scottish players from days gone by through the medium of cigarette
cards, we take a look back at the career of Bob McKay. Bob McKay only left Glasgow Rangers for
Newcastle United in November 1926, but is already regarded as one of the most effective players
Scotland has sent South.

When somewhat forgotten Ian Holloway took Blackpool over this summer, few
people believed that this charismatic motivator will do anything more than traditional and boring
survival fight. The team from English popular summer resort on Lancashire coast have been in
financial problems for a long time now and in the last few seasons they struggled to make the team
for the Championship.

OMG I am part of the 60,943,912 block of humanity that owns 43.5% of Glasgow Rangers and nobody
told me.
Disinvest me.
I don't wish to own any part of a stock that I would rather make a strategic short selling position
upon.
This is a distressed stock.
All the playing staff are on the transfer list and it is rumoured that failed property developer,
Sir Murray, was ousted from his eyrie by bankers.

Banking Group eski başkan ve kulübün büyük hissedarı Sir David Murray'in hisselerinin acil

Could you imagine Marvel Wynne or O'Brien White getting racially abused in the BMO parking lot by a
Toronto FC supporter? Not that I'm of the whole "there's no racism here, we live under Pierre
Trudeau's beautiful multicultural rainbow where nothing ever goes wrong" school of Canadian self
back-slappery, but let's just say if it happened, I suspect you would get headlines in every single
national daily, weeks of op-eds about how racism persists in Canada, and anti-racist tifos in the
south end that would make Dichio's tribute look like a bit of tissue paper.

(video gol highlights di Glasgow Rangers-Unirea)
Clamoroso tonfo degli scozzesi a
Ibrox. I Rangers cadono nettamente contro i romeni
dell'
Unirea (1 a 4 il risultato finale) e rimangono mestamente al fondo della classifica nel
girone G. Bella vittoria, invece, per gli spagnoli del
Siviglia, in casa dello
Stoccarda (3 a 1) e primo posto sempre più solido.

In one of the most shocking UEFA Champions League matchdays in recent memory, no fewer than four of
Soccer Source's Top 25 clubs were upset or had to settle for draws. The biggest, undoubtedly, was
No. 1 Barcelona's fall from grace in a stunning 2-1 home loss to No. 23 Rubin Kazan. Few soccer
fans had even heard of the Russian upstarts before the group stage draw, and the club appeared
destined to fade from memory just as quickly when it lost at Dynamo Kiev on the first matchday.

The U.S. National Men's Team dominated Cuba at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., winning the

time in as many games.

Following the recent launches of their 09/10 home and away kits, Scottish Premier League champions
Glasgow Rangers FC have unveiled their 2009/10 Umbro third kit. Interestingly, it does not use the
1980s retro look that Umbro has featured for many of its other 09/10 jerseys. According to the
Rangers FC website: The white strip features a [.

Scottish football may have fallen behind some of the other European leagues in recent years but
no one can deny that the Old Firm is one of the hottest contested derbies in world football. Both
Rangers and Celtic have a massive fan base who create an intense atmosphere and Sunday's Old Firm
at Ibrox should be a tight and hard fought contest.

Barcelona 2 - Dinamo Kiev 0
Partido muy sencillo para este Barcelona que con muy poquito demostró gran superioridad sobre el
elenco ucraniano.Goles: Messi a los 26 y Pedro a los 76. Muy poco para destacar, excepto lo triste
que me pone ver a un monstruo como Shevchenko en un equipo tan timido.

With one (Red) exception, all major favorites won their games in the Champions League's second
round of group play. Then there was AC Milan, who have already struggled so much this season they
barely deserve to be favorites of anything. Case in point: FC Zurich came away 1-0 winners from
their visit to the San Siro today.

Three wins, two draws and one defeat makes for a balanced but not too glorious start to this
year's European season.
Wolfsburg. You are never too old for an impressive Champions League debut.
Grafite (30) scored a hat-trick and became only (or already?) the sixth player to do so on his

Down two goals after just four minutes, Arsenal mounted a furious comeback at Standard Liege to
capture an improbable 3-2 victory on the second day of Champions League group stage openers
Wednesday. Eduardo cost Gunners the first goal with a miserable clearance off a corner, but made
good for his mistake by scoring the winner nine minutes from time.

Toronto FC will introduce Canadian national team star Julian DeGuzman as the club's first
Designated Player at a press conference today in Toronto in a multi-million dollar move that should

Germany and Spain before agreeing to a deal this week to become the club's most high-profile

Durante a minha recente estadia em Londres, fui surpreendido com um táxi que apresentava esta
publicidade, em que o irascível Gennaro Gattuso aparece a promover a região de onde é natural.
De repente ali estava eu em frente ao Palácio de Buckingham "confrontado" com o guerreiro italiano
que já comeu um caracol vivo e que, recorde-se, jogou na Escócia, pelo Glasgow Rangers.

That time again. The European soccer season is upon us and with it, Soccer Source's signature
issue, the ranking of top soccer clubs the world over. It's been some time since our last edition
of this list, an absence due in no small part to the busy "summer of soccer" involving the U.S.
