Scottish Premier League Match Predictions 11 February 2012 - The 90th Minute Soccer Blog
A week away from the blog.
I'd like to explain my absence with exciting tales of derring do. But I can't. The most excitement
I got was watching Hibs beat Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup, nailbiting to the end.
No, I've been away largely because I couldn't be arsed for the last week.
Now that the January transfer window is closed, clubs are gearing up to be ready for the rest of
the season. For promoted clubs in particular, the Premiership adventure has entered the second -
and possibly last - half of the season. Whether they will be able to continue their adventure is
anyone's guess, but judging from the league table, Norwich and Swansea look to be in a good
position to stay up.

'Twas a bit of a slow one yesterday as anyone who spent 11-and-a-bit hours 'glued' to the live
feed will tell you, with the total spending across the English leagues failing to surpass the £50
million that Chelsea spaffed on Fernando Torres this time last year let alone the ludicrous £225
million that was spent in total in January of 2011.
With the exception of January 2011, Spurs have often thrown up a surprise at the fag end of a
transfer window but it's doubtful as to whether any Tottenham fans would have woken up this morning
expecting Louis Saha to be wearing a Lilywhite shirt at the end of the day.
The chain of events seems to have sparked off by Rangers' acceptance of Everton's bid for Nikica
Jelavic which left Saha, who was already struggling at Goodison, surplus to requirements.
It's here. Transfer deadline day. We'll be updating this post throughout the day with all the
latest transfer deals, rumours and humorous observations on Sky Sports News' coverage. Leave your
own rumours and reactions in the comments section below. 2.29pm: Spurs have an £18m bid for Loic
Remy rejected, according to Marseille's chairman.
Another major component of the Revolution attack will not be returning this year, as Danish
newspaper Jydske Vestkysten is reporting that Rajko Lekic has signed a six-month contract
with Lyngby. Terms of the deal will reportedly be published on Monday.
Lekic is the second Revolution striker this month to take his services elsewhere.

Silly season continues to go on around the world, and today Sporting KC was named in the silliness.
Sky Sports is reporting that the "Kansas City Wizards" are interested in Scottish international
striker, Kris Boyd. The 28 year old striker was most recently with Eskisehirsqor in Turkey, where
he recently had his contract canceled.
Dipping into the SPL for transfer targets is always a gamble and while a player's record may
look good north of the border, moving into the premiership will always represent a tougher
challenge. If you need any evidence of that, you could always contrast Gordon Durie's scoring ratio
after he'd moved from White Hart Lane to Ibrox.
The Top 100 Goals of 2011
2012 is flourishing, but it's not too late to look back on the best goals from last year. Messi
is on the list. Ronaldo too. But you already knew that. Some brilliant golazos you might not have
seen are on here too.
Highly recommended hidden gems: Hernán Barcos' exquisite dribbling for
Liga de Quito (#94), Nikica Jelavic's bicycle kick for Rangers (#91), Julio Gómez with another
bicycle in the U-17 World Cup (#87), Pa Modou Kah coming out of nowhere with a thunderbolt of a
strike (#62), Gualberto Mojica's one-two to back of the net strike (#55), Lisandro López's
textbook bicycle kick for Arsenal de Sarandi (#21), and Cleiton Xavier's surreal touch for Metalist
Kharkiv (#10).
I have more goodies coming over the next week, but let's just settle a couple of things for now.
Folks seem to over-deciphered a comment by Rangers boss Ally McCoist when he said he was open to
sending Alejandro Bedoya out on loan. I can assure you he will not be doing so, that there are no
such discussions occurring and that the manager is happy with the player's progress at Ibrox.
Muslimovic was joined at the Rangers training HQ today by American youngster Jamael
Cox, who will spend a week training McCoist's men. Cox, a 19-year-old midfielder currently
plays for Seattle Sounders, whose MLS season has ended

trial - The Daily Record
Great find by @GoSounders.

It looks like it could be a race between Sebastien Bassong and Giovani Dos Santos to be the
first through the White Hart Lane exit door this month with our defender being the first dissenting
voice of this transfer window.
Bassong could have gone to Bolton as part of a Gary Cahill deal in the summer but a more likely
destination could be QPR, who have been linked with most of the fringe defenders in the
Premiership.
Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has urged the media to stop focusing the spotlight heavily on
John Terry as the Blues skipper returns to QPR next Saturday for the first time since being accused
of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand in October.
The Rangers won the ill-tempered clash 1-0 as Villas-Boas saw two of his players dismissed,
leaving the visitors to fight with nine men for most of the afternoon.
Fare ye weel, Davie Weir.
The Scottish Football Blog has often been facetious about the Methuselah of Scottish football.
Unfair that. Davie Weir was playing at the highest level in Scotland in his 40s and I'm often too
lazy to play dominoes in my 30s.
Perhaps unsurprisingly Weir and Rangers will part company this week.
The battle for the Scottish Premier League title remained close over the weekend, with both Rangers
and Celtic both pulling out wins, although not without some nervous moments.
Newcastle United entertain QPR on Sunday and will be hoping to make it 3 wins in a row against a

The trio of Americans at Rangers will try to keep keep within shooting distance of the league lead

If at first you don't succeed, try again.
That is the approach Sochaux is taking in terms of Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu.
Having had a previous bid worth an estimated $774,400 turned down, Sochaux has launched a
second bid for the U.

Mirror: Why Hughes has a harder job at QPR than you think, Thierry Henry is magic and
there is a positive side to the Adeyemi incident
I'm a big fan of Mark Hughes as a manager, and he is an excellent signing for QPR, but the
sacking of Neil Warnock does not reflect well on the club or some of their players.

Free agent Scottish striker Kris Boyd, formerly of Rangers, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and
most recent, Eskişehirspor, is apparently considering an offer from the Dynamo, at least according
to Bryan Swanson of Sky Sports.
Boyd is 28-years old and has a fairly strong goal scoring record from his Rangers days,
including three 20+ goal seasons.
Neil Warnock's sacking at QPR could have some implications for Spurs' winter transfer plans if
the new Loftus Road manager is given a transfer kitty worth up to £20m. Last week, Rangers are
reported to have offered £5m for Christopher Samba while Warnock was still at the club and it's
thought that the Congolese centre half remains a priority.

On Monday, Rangers' stock was suspended from trading after Rangers failed to submit audited
finances. The move is part of a broader discussion about whether or not Rangers should be a public
company. Rangers chairman Craig Whyte told the club's official site: "Given the structure of the
shareholding in the Club, there is very little, if any, tangible benefit for the Club to be a
listed company.
Alejandro Bedoya and Rangers will take on Arbroath in the Scottish FA Cup on Sunday.
It will apparently take a lot more than what FC Sochaux was offering to pry Maurice Edu away
from Rangers.
The Scottish club emphatically turned down Sochaux's bid for the U.S. national team midfielder a
day after a reported offer of £500,000 was put on the table.
"What I would say is the bid that they put in was so far away that I would be very surprised if
they came back in," Rangers manager Ally McCoist told the BBC.
Maurice Edu is no stranger to being linked to a move away from Rangers, and Sochaux is the
latest club hoping to pry him away from the Scottish giants.
According to a report, Sochaux has made Edu its top midfield target for the winter transfer
window. The French club had a bid worth an estimated $774,400 rejected already, but it remains
interested in acquiring the U.
Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic has been linked with a move to England for a couple of months now,
but is there any substance to the persistent rumours? Not according to the man himself.Speaking to
Croatian website Slobodna Dalmacija, Jelavic acknowledge rumours linking him with Liverpool, but
made it clear he is happy to stay at Rangers:"Liverpool is a big club and anybody would like to

Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic is refusing to be distracted by reports that Liverpool are
considering a bid for him.
Jelavic, who joined the Glasgow side from Rapid Vienna in 2010, has been linked with a big money
move in January - with QPR just one Premier League club to have been credited with an interest.
