Gary Toner Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Talking about Maclean <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Steven MacLean believes he is the only Rangers fan not mourning the loss of Ronald de Boer. The on-loan striker reckons his Gers career is set to take off now that de Boer has confirmed he’s off at the end of the season. Most Rangers fans had prayed de Boer would snub a megabucks move to Qatar and stick around in Scotland for another year. But for McLean – who has hit 24 goals for Scunthorpe United this season – it’s the break he’s been looking for as he prepares to return to Rangers in the summer. MacLean: “I believe there is now room at Ibrox for me. “Ronald looks like leaving and Michael Mols is also on his way. Egil Ostenstad has left so Stevie Thompson aside, there is no real out and out goalscorer. “It would be great if I could come in and do that job. I know I could do it but in the end it’s up to the manager. “Ronald has been a great servant and a great player and a lot of the fans probably want him to stay, but from a selfish point of view it’s good for me he’s leaving. “The door opens a wee bit more now and maybe the manager will turn to me. One thing is sure, there will definitely be a couple of spaces up for grabs. MacLean has been a revelation in the English Third Division but he’s only ever dreamed of scoring goals for boyhood heroes Gers. However, he will put it all on the line in the summer in showdown talks with Alex McLeish as he seeks assurances he has a future at Ibrox. MacLean added: “I’m ready to come back to Rangers. I need to play football though, there is no point in me returning there to sit on the bench. “If I’m not playing at Rangers then I’d rather stay at Scunthorpe or go elsewhere.†<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Toner Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 likely Rangers line up for next season?, i'll stick to a 3-5-2 although it's probably going to be a 442 GK - Klos CB - Moore(if free of injury) CB - Boumsong CB - F de Boer(if he stays) RW - ?? CM - G Rae CM - A Rae(if he signs) AMC - ?? LW - Lovenkrands(i'd prefer a proper winger tho) SC - Arveladze SC - ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Ter Posted April 22, 2004 Author SI Staff Share Posted April 22, 2004 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Late winner keeps Youths on course for the title. Rangers remain in prime position for the SPL Under-19 title following a narrow but deserved 2-1 win over Partick Thistle at Auchenhowie on Wednesday evening. In a game that was ruined by a ferocious wind, it took an injury time winner from Bajram Fetai to secure the priceless points for the Light Blues. The game was very much a top v bottom affair, but it was the conditions that were the leveller. Rangers had the elements in their favour in the first-half, but in truth failed to adapt to the prevailing conditions, sticking to their close-passing game in an attempt to open up a tight defence. The home side were presented with a golden opportunity to open the scoring in 22 minutes when Jonathon Carter toppled Ross McCormack inside the area. McCormack himself took the spot-kick, but his effort was weak and saved by ‘Jags’ goalkeeper Kevin Montgomery. With the interval fast approaching a superb solo run by Bajram Fetai carved open the Thistle defence, and the Danish Under-21 International slotted the ball home in 42 minutes. Any notion that Rangers could now go on to a comfortable win dissipated all of 33 seconds into the second-half when Andy Rennie – with the wind at his back – unleashed a ferocious thirty-yard drive that gave Lee Robinson not an earthly. The remainder of the game took place in Thistle’s half as the League Leaders pressed relentlessly for the winner. Several times Montgomery defied Rangers with fine saves, but the antics of some of his teammates angered the spectators. Time after time the visitors resorted to time wasting, aided by incompetent refereeing. One Thistle player in particular collapsed at least six times during the closing stages, much to the ire of the ‘Gers fans present. Needless to say he was able to resume play immediately afterwards. With time fast running out the loss of two vital points looked inevitable despite intense home pressure, but in the 93rd minute, just when all seemed lost, a Graeme Watson lob found Bajram Fetai whose chip left the advancing goalkeeper stranded. Three more minutes of injury time had to be endured before the final whistle confirmed 2-1 Rangers win, thus maintaining their three-point advantage over Celtic and Hearts in the title race with just two games left. Team: Robinson; Jacmot, Coyle; Watson, McKenzie, Dick (McMillan 45); Gilmour (Johnston 79), McCormack (Fraser 57), Davidson, Adam, Fetai Unused Subs: Reidford, Agnew<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Good to see Fetai getting a couple of goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie1869 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I saw Dowie at the Scotland Under 21 game and he looked pretty average to be honest. Your typical no nonsense defender and he lacked pace.

Gary Toner Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Anyone read that Arteta "exclusive" in the sun today? Basically for anyone that didn't Real Sociedad want Arteta but can't afford to match Rangers asking price (4m) so Real Madrid who want Xabi Alonso from Sociedad are willing to finance the deal for Arteta for Sociedad and then deduct it from the Alonso deal well i suppose that way is as good as any.
