Jeffrey Marcus of the new York Times Goal blog recently spoke with former MLS Rookie of the Year and current Glasgow Ranger Maurice Edu about what's really going on. He has some cliched things to say ("Every day, you're really grinding, competing for your position") but they're probably cliche because they're true. Click to continue reading...

As Scotland slid down 10 places from 16th to 26th in the latest round of FIFA's world rankings, is it possible that the country's hysteria over the exploits at both club and country level last term has finally died down? Consider the evidence; Rangers fell at the first hurdle as they were dumped out of Europe [. Click to continue reading...

Birthday presents, Glasgow style! A Rangers fan returned from a birthday weekend away to find his house, garden and even wheelie bin had been painted in green-and-white hoops by his prankster mates. The vans he uses for his bouncy castle business were also given the Celtic treatment and a banner proclaiming "Hoopy 25th Birthday" was put [. Click to continue reading...

Contrary to what you might think, the owner of that house is not a Celtic fan. In fact he's just the opposite. What's the opposite of a Celtic fan? A Rangers fan. A Rangers fan whose friends know no bounds when it comes to practical jokes (truly some epic pranks listed in there - well [...] Click to continue reading...

Russian mafia bosses bribed Zenit St Petersburg's UEFA Cup opponents last season to ensure they won the competition, according to a Spanish judge. Baltasar Garzon claims to have uncovered evidence that Bayern Munich were paid to throw their semi-final against the Russian side. The Spanish press have today reported that Bayern received vast amounts to lose [. Click to continue reading...

Before this goes too far: The claims that Zenit St. Petersburg's UEFA Cup win was bought are being made by Russian mafiosi. Hardly the most reliable types when it comes to truth telling and a faction well known for embellishing their dirty deeds for the sake of building their reputation and aura. Also worth mentioning [.

Every journo in the country wants Craig Moore back in the Socceroos.

Every player says we need Moore. We don't, and I don't want him nor his thuggish style.

Craig Moore has played and achieved great things for Rangers and the Socceroos. But he came back to Australia younger than many. Click to continue reading...

Freddy got a start today and went 69 minutes for Monaco as they lost 1-0 to PSG in the French League Cup.  He played as a striker and by all accounts looked strong in attack.  He made sharp runs in the offensive third that unfortunately often went unrewarded by his teammates, as he was caught [...] Click to continue reading...

The magic of the cup sometimes throws up some interesting fixtures. With only SPL and First Division teams remaining in the competition, there's many a senior team that looks upon a game against lower league opposition with some trepidation. Witness for example Hibs and Hearts' exit in the last round, or Aberdeen's exit on penalties to [. Click to continue reading...

Scotland has had many glorious moments on the football stage over the years - domestically, Aberdeen, Celtic and Rangers have all won European silverware and our national team has given us many classic moments, from the Wembley Wizards to Archie Gemmill's goal against Holland, right up to James McFadden's screamer against France, part of a [.

Neither Freddy Adu or Jozy Altidore saw the pitch as an overhyped Sunday matchday came and went without a peep.  I don't have much to say about it, because I'm crippled with sadness, but let's see... Park started and went 90 for Monaco, and to be honest, he looked very very poor.  I was surprised that [. Click to continue reading...

Like Maurice Edu with Rangers, a pre-match injury shoved daddy's boy into the starting lineup for Borussia Monchengladbach.

And according to this report from Goal.com, it went fairly well.

Donning the number 26, Bradley played well in his debut forcing an early save by Berlin keeper Jaroslav Drobny.

Ben Kosky/Kilburn Times - All about the money?
QPR have denied that miscalculations in their budget prompted the controversial decision to raise ticket prices just six weeks into the new season.
Rangers supporters reacted angrily on internet forums this week after the club announced that the top seats for their next match at Loftus Road would now cost a whopping £50 each. Click to continue reading...

Back on the pitch, it's Norwich tonigh...Although would be nice if other clubs and newspapers stopped referring to QPR's great wealth - because it's certainly not apparent how the money of QPR's wealthy owners makes QPR rich.

Maurice Edu got his first start for Rangers in a surprise move, apparently another guy was deemed unfit to start right before the match.

I hear the youngster did well. As did Jozy Altidore for Villareal.

This report from Goal! says the forward had some dangerous runs for the Spanish side. Click to continue reading...

Time really flies, huh? It feels like only yesterday when Lyon had once again shot themselves in the foot against Manchester United. And remember those back to back 3-0 defeats, one to Barcelona (almost understandable) and the other to Rangers (practically inconceivable)? I guess you could say that last year's Champions League campaign has more bad memories than good ones.

What gives? Brad Friedel and Tim Howard are the only two Americans getting regular time in England. At least the pair of Yanks at Rangers are showing well. Click to continue reading...

We still have two weeks to go until last season's results are erased from the databases for English clubs (three weeks for some others), yet Manchester United has already managed to lose the advantage that it carried into this season.

Celtic colours not popular...to Fergie:)


If you hate North Queensland clap your hands...

Did Fergie say this.

Meanwhile, concerns about the unpopularity of the colours green and white have seen NQFC look for an alternative.

One of the candidates for the NQFC coaching job, to be announced on Monday, alerted the club to the fact the colours had a strong link to Scottish giants Celtic and were not popular with a lot of football supporters.
