Ross McCormack and Gary McKenzie both looked competent when they came on. Hopefully they'll get a few more games each before the seasons end and then have a decent footing for next year.

Gary Toner Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> May 2 2004 By Mark Guidi RANGERS are close to completing the signing of Dundee striker Nacho Novo. Talks between the clubs have been ongoing and a fee of around £275,000 is likely to be thrashed out by the end of the week. The Dens Park outfit around £15million in debt and under threat of closing down are desperate for the cash. Rangers are keen to bring in a couple of strikers next season and getting Novo at that price will be seen as a bargain. The capture of Novo will be Alex McLeish's fourth signing for the new season following on the heels of Jean-Alain Boumsong, Marvin Andrews and Alex Rae. He is still searching for a proven goalscorer, a playmaking midfielder and a left-sided central defender. MailSport can reveal that the man occupying his thoughts is Boumsong's Auxerre team-mate Olivier Kapo. Former Ger Charlie Miller has also entered McLeish's thoughts and Big Eck has been discreetly asking about the player's current attitude and lifestyle. Miller outstanding this season is out of contract in the summer and a return to Ibrox has not been ruled out although Dundee United have made him an attractive offer to stay. Miller's agent John Viola said: 'Charlie is a talented footballer and has had the best season of his career. 'United want to keep him but I have been made aware of interest from major clubs.' Kapo capped eight times by France is out of contract in the summer and has attracted interest from clubs in the English Premiership and Italy's Serie A, as well as Paris Saint Germain. McLeish knows plenty about him and has watched him several times. He is seen as a possible replacement for Ronald de Boer. However, it's understood Kapo is looking for a wage of more than £35,000 per week and that is putting a lot of teams off. French striker Frederic Piquionne has also been watched by McLeish. The £2m-rated Rennes star is a tall and powerful hitman who is known for putting the ball in the net and for putting himself about on the pitch. He has been informed of Rangers' interest and would welcome a move to Scotland. Meanwhile, Rangers' on-loan striker Steven MacLean is being tracked by Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls are the latest English club to express an interest in the 21-year-old who has bagged 25 goals for Scunthorpe this season. Gaffer Chris Turner is desperate for a goal poacher to kick-start a Wednesday revival and will have money to spend if ex-Chelsea supremo Ken Bates takes control of the club. Turner said: 'We need a striker who can score 20 goals a season and Steven's the sort of player we are thinking of.' <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Toner Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 The Saga that is Mikel Arteta <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>MIKEL ARTETA has hinted that he may be staying at Rangers after all. Unlike the Motherwell defence on Saturday, the Spaniard was giving little away despite another week of relentless speculation linking him with a return home. Real Sociedad, Espanyol, Real Betis and Real Murcia are all said to be courting the midfielder who opened the floodgates at Ibrox with a brilliant free-kick just a minute before half-time. However, it’s unlikely that any of these La Liga sides will meet the asking price of £4million. And after showdown talks with Gers’ director of football business Martin Bain this week, Arteta now looks set to ditch switch plans. The playmaker revealed: “Nothing is happening with me, nothing at all. I don’t really want to speak about the whole situation either. “I understand though that the fans want to have an idea, they have been fantastic with me. “All I can say is that I’m happy at Rangers. This season has not been enjoyable, but that doesn’t just go for me, the whole team feels like that. “We have lost everything this year and that is not a nice feeling. “I have always said that I would see out my contract and I have two years left. “I can’t do much about what is written about me but I have met with the club and I’m happy.†If boss Alex McLeish can get Arteta back to the player he was last season, then there’s no doubt he’ll prove an invaluable asset. But at times against Well he looked uninterested. He drifted in and out of a match he should have controlled from start to finish. It must be so frustrating for the Ibrox fans because on 44 minutes he showed exactly what he can do with that curling free-kick into the corner of the net. Just before that Arteta had embarked on two breathtaking runs from midfield which perfectly summed up his talent. However, he doesn’t do it often enough and it was no surprise to see him hooked after 61 minutes — young Ross McCormack earning a debut at his expense. But after hailing McCormack and fellow debutant Gary MacKenzie, Arteta, 24, told how the imminent arrival of France stopper Jean-Alain Boumsong can help put the heart back into Rangers. He said: “It was good to see two kids coming on because they will play a big part in this club’s future. “I was happy they got a run and when you see their performance and attitude then of course you have belief for next season. “The gaffer has already bought people like Boumsong. He is a fantastic player, I played against him when I was with PSG. “He is a strong player and a great character. He will do really well at Ibrox. “You do need time to settle because here you are either brilliant or bad. Second place is just not good enough. “We’ve found that out this season but I’m sure the manager will add more people like Boumsong in the summer and the club will compete again next term. “We are desperate to make it up to the fans. As a team we’re feeling bad about ourselves and can use that to motivate us for next year. “I feel I have already learned from this and I know I don’t want to have this feeling again.†<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Consistency Klos scooped two awards at the Hilton Hotel - Players' Player of the Year and Carling Player of the Year - while pint-sized winger Burkey bagged the Young Player honour. Pistol Pete won the Goal of the Season gong for his stunning effort against VfB Stuttgart in the Champions League. Ronald de Boer, whose bullet header in the epic 3-3 Old Firm draw at Parkhead was voted last season's top strike, accepted the award on his behalf. Klos bagged Best Old Firm Performance at last year's event but he collected the two top prizes this evening and the quiet German deserves his recognition for another sensational season between the sticks. Burkey, excellent against Motherwell yesterday, has shone on the right flank this term - managing three goals and countless assists in 22 top team games and he is another worthy winner. Chris took the Under-19 Player of the Year honour 12 months ago and retained his title despite strong competition from Alan Hutton. Danish flyer Lovenkrands, who is close to returning to action after a knee problem, narrowly pipped Paolo Vanoli to Goal of the Season. The Italian's screamer against Dundee last September was the early favourite to win but Peter's mazy run and long range finish against Stuttgart was voted number one by supporters. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> How can a sclaffed shot that took a massive deflection be the best goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glasgow club have made substantial efforts to cut costs in a bid to fight debts which amount to around £65m (€96.6m), the largest slice of which is due in 2008. And, while Murray – a former chairman at Ibrox – is content with the progress that has been made, he admits more drastic measures may have to be taken if the club fails to meet targets by the end of a three-year plan in 2005. Murray, who has already invested £40m (€59.4m), including the £6.5m (€9.7m) he paid to buy Rangers 16 years ago, told the Financial Times: “We will have to do a substantial rights issue, of which I would subscribe for my fair share.†He added: “We need to regroup, refinance and get the club on an even keel, and I have never denied that is a responsibility. “We have got the club trading pretty level now. We have got a tremendous stadium at £100m (€148.6m), a training ground, a playing squad – assets of £150m (€222.9m) – but there is a rump of debt that will eventually have to be attacked.†Murray’s personal fortune has been estimated at around £450m (€668.6m) and his holding company Murray International Holdings is one of the largest private firms in Scotland. And the steel magnate revealed he has been able to shelter Rangers from the worst of what he called “the cyclical downturn of football". “If I did not have a trading company that is making money, the bank would look on it differently,†he said. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> "if i was'nta multi millionare we would be in administration byt now" if you had'nt ran up the debt we would'nt be in this mess you ****.

Vidmar Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Too true, many fans have went on the record stating they will not invest money in the club whilst he is the majority shareholder because he has proved that he cannot run a football club, his share issue will fail and things will get worse. There are already rumors of Auchenhowie and the land ajacent been sold of to Barret and building will commence when GCC build the sports center for Celtic to train in, rangers will train there also and Murray will pocket the money for the land which the training ground that Rangers paid to have built.

FrankJJ Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Auchenhowie is definitely an interesting part of the Murray empire. I know it's been published by Rangers that Murray Park cost approximately £14m, which is apparently true, however I know for a fact that the project received £4.8m through the Scottish Executive, I've seen the paperwork yet there is no acknowledgement, at least publicly, of where this has gone. The ground of course was owned by Murray because he bought it from the old Milngavie and Bearsden Sports Club and Glasgow Western Hockey Club, but it seems possible that he sold the part that Murray Park now stands on to Rangers for that £4.8mil and kept the surrounding area, a smart piece of business but not one of the great philanthropist that he makes himself out to be. I notice too that Rangers accounts which used to be on the Murray website are now missing from 2001 onwards. I'll say two things for Fergus McCann, he always made it clear he saw Celtic as an investment and would clear a profit and he would never have allowed anything connected with the club to be named after him!

For the club, you could be right, they do need to put there money where there mouth is, but the debt is still there, so the limitations on who can arrive is purely on the cut-throat bosmans who are after high wages. The way I read the story, you had a guy who has been captain whenever he has played this season (has he played or was he just there) going on about ambition. Now Rangers are one of the biggest clubs in Britian, i would expect the players of the club to play as if they are out to win every week and the captain should be the guy ralleying the guys in hard times. Now correct me if I`m wrong has this guy done any of the above this season ? If Rangers had ambition they would buy players to replace him, rather than him claiming to be too good for the team.
