He won't take it as Warburton was on TV yesterday saying there was nothing in it and it was a push and players push each other all the time. Even my wife said he was spouting shite

Well done your wife so the two if you were sitting all cozy watching a Rangers game. Oh well

I'm sure the guy who tackled Halliday from behind will be up next.

How many away fans are allocated today? Just wondering.. seems like a sizeable contingent ..

Sorry, didn't mean to be a smart ass in the reply. Came across that post at the wrong time! That stand holds 8K, so they got slightly less than that, I'd say.

No worries. I had it sent and the goal flew in !

That was coming since the equaliser, pretty much. This entire team is bang average.

Forrester is such a greedy player, he should just square it to Dodoo and it's level.
Foderingham has stopped this from becoming a rout.

Fod and McKay were our best players. Still can't understand why we were so flat in the second half. They dominated that half. We have much work to do at the back, still. Played really well at times up front in the first half.

Watching that game it really was shocking how poor Rangers are at playing out from the back. They are trying to play out but I lost count of the number of times they passed it straight to a Celtic player which just invited pressure.

All that really seemed to change from 1st to 2nd half is Celtic pressed a bit more and Rangers couldn't get out. Some good football by both sides at times.

Some other transfer news:

- Emerson Hyndman is seemingly on loan from Bournemouth, just landed today in Glasgow
- We're interested in getting Rushian Hepburn-Murphy, 18 year old Villa player who has refused to sign a new contract there so far.
- We've contacted Saido Berahino who is on a Bosman at the end of the year.

Welcome to the club

RANGERS can today confirm the signing of Emerson Hyndman from AFC Bournemouth on a six month loan deal.

The USA international joins the Gers from the Premier League outfit for the remainder of the season after signing permanently for Eddie Howe’s side in the summer.

The 20-year-old has made three appearances for the Cherries this season, most recently in the weekend’s FA Cup tie against Milwall. His other appearances came in two EFL games.

Emerson joined the south coast side in the summer after his contract at Fulham expired. Despite numerous offers he elected to join up with Howe due to his playing philosophy.

Speaking at the time Emerson said: “There were a few clubs in the mix and stuff, but the manager here really explained what he wanted to do, both with Bournemouth and with me. He’s developed players from the lower leagues to the Premier League, which is a huge achievement, so I knew he was well respected for that.”

The Texan born midfielder signed for Fulham aged 15 in 2011 and eventually went on to sign a professional deal at the age of 17. He was an ever present as the London club made their way to the FA Youth Cup final in the 2013/14 season.

Three months after turning professional, Hyndman impressed enough to earn an improved deal with the club. He went on to make his first team debut at the age of 18 in the Championship, standing out with his sublime range of passing and comfort on the ball despite his tender age. He continued his development in the Cottagers first-team, clocking up 17 appearances last season.

His international career started in 2012, when he turned out for the USA under-17s side. Just two years later, after three appearances for Fulham, he was called up to the senior squad and made his debut against the Czech Republic.

To further aid his progression, in 2015 Hyndman was involved in the Under-20 FIFA World Cup and captained the United States side in New Zealand. He continued to catch the eye in the tournament, where the Americans lost on penalties in the quarter finals.

In May, Jurgen Klinsmann handed him his third cap for the USA first team, coming on in a 3-1 friendly win against Puerto Rica.

Only just now recovered from Leipzig :pac:

Not the best performance, but the game wasn't the most important party anyway. 8000 Bears on tour, brilliant fun
