Anfield Talk 06 November @ 12:45 PM EST
Aside from the Manchester United scalp, Liverpool are winless since
late September - a feat Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish hopes won't be remedied when his side
take on Rafael Benitez's Reds on Monday evening.
McLeish, however, empathises with Benitez over the situation that has engulfed Anfield.

Twice a year, Phil Gartside lays bare his most inner fears. Bolton Wanderers may some day be
relegated from the Premier League, and Phil doesn't like the idea of that. He is scared that they
will relegated and that they won't be prepared for life back in the Footbal League. He's right to
be.

With an average attendance of 48,750 last season, Newcastle United are the 18th best supported team
in Europe. In England only Manchester United, who top the whole league, and Arsenal manage to beat
Newcastle's average attendance, although Celtic managed 9th and Rangers managed 16th. Given the
mess we were in last season and the fact that there [.

Champions League View: Bayern Munich and Liverpool FC could get 10 points and still not
qualify.
An entertaining set of Champions League games threw up some unexpected results, great games and
the odd ninja (but not a very effective one). Almost all of the big names have a chance to reach
the knockout stages, even though the likes of Bayern and Liverpool have made it very, very
difficult for themselves.

Dirty Tackle 04 November @ 07:18 PM EST
Wednesday's Champions League match between Rangers and Unirea Urziceni ended with a 1-1 draw
after two late goals in Bucharest, but the real action was in the stands, where Rangers fans
clashed with CS gas wielding stewards. Says Rangers chief executive Martin Bain on the club's
official website:
"Obviously the behaviour of some of the fans inside the stadium was unacceptable and no-one
likes to see that
"However, what was equally unacceptable was the fact that Rangers came to this stadium with
representatives from UEFA and Unirea a number of weeks ago and arranged for the four turnstiles to
be open to give access to our supporters.

Liverpool and Rangers are drinking in the last-chance saloon while Arsenal are hoping to toast
their progress into the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League. Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan,
who have not won in the Champions League for over a year, must drop their reputation as draw
specialists when they face Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine where the former Chelsea boss will once again be
up against ex-Blues striker Andriy Shevchenko.

4-1, 4-1. Not only Walter Smith's most likely formation for tonight but also the defeats Rangers
have suffered in their last two European games. The perceived wisdom is that it's a formation that
works better away from home. As it's the formation that will be in use against Unirea Urziceni
you've really got to hope that's the case.

With J Hutcherson -- The one sentence summary of the Scottish Premier League so far would go
something like this: Rangers have money trouble, the Old Firm wants out, and Hibs are pretty good.
You could shuffle those three items around, but I went with order of immediate importance. Rangers
are currently trying to work through a situation that could see them forced into selling players.

I completely missed every single game of football across the British Isles at the weekend. I was

It seems that whenever I write an article for this site it's about one of two things; Scottish
football's decline or uprising. No prizes for guessing which one this falls under, with the issues
surrounding that of Rangers dominating the back pages north of the border for most of the past few
weeks.

With Rangers getting closer and closer to almost becoming Leeds United, maybe its time for both
Celtic and Rangers to run away from the Scottish Premier League and head for greener pastures.
Rangers 's club's bankers Lloyds are owed £30million by the end of the campaign. With a TV
contract that is nothing to celebrate the only way that they maybe be able to meet the payment is
to sell half of the first team.

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.

John Hughes described Walter Smith as the "godfather" of Scottish football managers the other day.
In recent weeks, however, Smith's traditional taciturn gravitas has been replaced by a more haunted
look, the look of a man who spends his long, sleepless nights wondering what went wrong.When he
returned to Rangers he knew there would be hard work ahead.

A midweek prediction special as Scottish football's least revered competition reaches the quarter
final stage.Dundee v RangersRangers rediscovered some vim on Saturday but, crucially, still
couldn't overcome Hibs. This is a poor Rangers side further distracted by off the field disasters.
Quite a contrast to Dundee who are flying high and luxuriating in new found riches.
