Gary Toner Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 From the season after next, four homegrown players must be included in squads for European club games - at least two trained by a club's own academy with a further two developed by other clubs within the same association.

Frankie Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yeah it is a fine interview although he kept is cards close to his chest. Not really anything OTT or controversial, but he comes across as a nice guy, confident, motivated and aware of what he wants. It will be really interesting to see just how well he gets on with the Scottish media and our game in general. Can't wait to hear the 2nd part.

SI Staff Ter Posted May 17, 2006 Author SI Staff Share Posted May 17, 2006 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Rangers manager Paul Le Guen has told Peter Lovenkrands he should decide now on the club's final contract offer. Bundesliga outfit Schalke are the latest club to hold talks with the 26-year-old Danish forward as he stalls on a new deal at Ibrox. But Le Guen told Rangers News: "Lovenkrands is a player I would like to keep, but there are limits. It depends on his decision. "It's up to him now. I understand he has been offered a very good contract." Spanish clubs Osasuna and Villarreal, plus Italians Roma, are also reportedly interested in Lovenkrands, who had a disappointing domestic season but came to life in the Champions League. Le Guen, in his first pronouncement since taking over at Ibrox from Alex McLeish, said he had taken note of Lovenkrands' role in helping Rangers to the last 16. "I watched the Champions League games," he said. "Rangers had a great season in the Champions League and, yes, I watched his goals." Le Guen had refused to visit Ibrox while McLeish was in power but has done his homework on all Rangers' games and the club's players. "I did not want to go to the stadium while Alex was in charge, so I have watched all of the matches on DVD," he said. "Of course, I know Julien Rodriguez and Dado Prso very well. When I was coach of Lyon, we used to fight against Monaco, so I know these players very well. "I look forward to working with them. I hope they are happy with Rangers and I hope they are ready to stay with Rangers and work with me." Meanwhile, Lovenkrands, who has been giving conflicting signals about his future, appears destined to leave Ibrox. "Schalke is very interesting," he said. "They are among the best in Europe. "But nothing is settled yet because it is a very important decision for me. "I need to talk to my agent about what is best for me and I hope there will be a conclusion soon." But Lovenkrands' agent, Ivan Benes, insists that they are in no hurry to make a decision. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> If 'they' aren't in a hurry to make a decision then it looks like curtains for Peter at Rangers.

Frankie Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I doubt he would get away with it under PLG. Moreover, I wouldn't say he's worked that much harder recently. Just that he was played in his best position as striker not as a winger. Lovenkrands has shown, because of his pace and his decent finishing, he can be a threat to anyone. he's at an age where he should be entering his prime. PLG would be one manager that could coax that out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the players will have any doubts as to what's expected of them.
