The Rangers might have some SPL standard players but they also have a few who wouldn't get a regular game for any SPL team and a manager who's found his level in the third division. Talking them up hasn't exactly worked in the past so surely it's time to tell it like it is and say we'll be going to win as we're the better team.

I don't agree with most of what McCall says and wish he'd either concentrate on talking up his own team or keep his mouth shut. He should know by now how the press are going to report what he says.

They're third in Division 3 having played the same number of games as the teams above them. Why should we go into this game with any thoughts of losing? I'm not saying we'll definitely win but they'll have to be at the top of their game and hope we have an off day. If we're on our game we'll pump them.

Great result and very encouraging that the youngsters are coming in and doing a great job.

Let's hope he fails the medical.

Saw that rumour earlier. £300,000 was mentioned.

Is that rule adhered to in the SPL? I've not seen any games this season but in the past players have been penalised for making an attempt go for the ball whether they got there or not whereas in other leagues (EPL) they get away with it if they don't actually touch it. Doesn't excuse the schoolboy error of not playing to the whistle though!

I think we approach these games all wrong. Too much emphasis on the quality of who we're playing rather than the quality of our own team. It's the same against Celtic and (oldco) Rangers. Needs to change.

Did you listen to the game? If you did, did it sound like we'd learned anything from the games against pana or did it sound very similar?

Looks as though a return journey would cost around £80 on the high speed train.

You can get the fast train that takes about 1.5/2 hours. I've never taken the train in Spain so I'm not 100% sure of the prices but I'll have a look.

IMO there's no chance of an early ko. Spanish teams tend to play later in the evening but I think this will be a 2045 ko (GMT+1).

Considering staying overnight in Valencia and then back to Madrid in the morning/afternoon.

Great draw for me! If anyone's going via Madrid the second leg of the Supercopa (Real v Barcelona) is on the 29th with tickets still available. I'll be driving from Madrid to Valencia on the day of the game so can give a lift to anyone who may need it.

Yes, they can't register anybody over the age of 18.

Mr Megative of the Motherwell support likes Mr Negative of the media world. Who'd have thought it?

Surely we won't get fined for a couple of crumpled up pieces of paper getting thrown at players? Considering the bigotry, racism and violence that goes on elsewhere I'd hope UEFA would have bigger fish to fry.

As far as I know the SFA have confirmed that the transfer window will close on the 31st. It would only be extended if the final day was a Sunday.

Stuart McCall mentioned in his post match interview that Hutchinson's just started running again after injury.

Weiss was on loan but Rangers were still supposed to pay a loan fee. They didn't pay and that's why Man City were on the creditors list.

IMO Steelboy can on occasion make some decent points but in general he comes across as a bit of a muppet.

I like this idea!

Who said clubs shouldn't use TV income as part of their budget? Of course they should use it but I doubt every team in Europe builds their budget round it like you claimed (Man City for one certainly don't). Still waiting for proof of this as I think you just made it up.

No. You show me evidence that every football club in europe designs their business model around the tv deal and only one country in europe has fans stupid enough to force their clubs in financial penury.
