    Heard we made quite a good one recently but it is being kept under wraps so his club's fans don't turn against him.

    I wonder how many of these deals are done without anyone knowing.

    Genuine question: Do you really need to spend cash on SPL size wages to hose 2nd Div (or Div 3 in reconstruction) ...

    Has it worked, in your opinion, so far?

    That's a hell of a lot of players out of contract

    No we need more holding midfielders, to neutralize the threat coming from the SFL3 attacking players.

    ...or we get our fans to make lots of callouts to plumbers every Saturday. Decimate the opposition that would.

    Probably the best keeper in the SPL, I'm guessing they will.

    Good to see Rangers buying a good Brit, yet again. <ok>

    Seriously do think he's one of the best if not the best in the SPL.

    Never rated Forster, he looks comfortable in the SPL but exposed in Europe.

    He's top 3, with Forster no 1! Bell's second with probably the Dundee United keeper in a distant 3rd place!

    A total blinkered view Medro

    I think a former World no 1 view maybe a bit more accurate:


    http://www1.skysports.com/football/...mpressed-by-Celtic-counterpart-Fraser-Forster

    He's saved Celtic's arse this season many times in the qualifiers and champions league group stages.

    He was left exposed against Juve by poor defending at the first goal - a chance that should have bene cleared by Ambrose.

    He may have done a bit better a the second goal but that critiscm for Juve being more clinical than Celtic is a bit harsh.

    Defenders are the priority so long as they're not Andy Webster! In answer to Pud's question I don't think we needed all these SPL players (or the foreign buys) in division 3. Some of them have contributed next to nothing anyway.

    Off the list I wouldn't mind seeing Tom Hately, Andy Driver, Murray Davidson or David Wotherspoon turning up at Ibrox, but we really need central defenders. We might be better to try division 1 though.

    Out of the list I would take Paddy McCourt, Jon Daly, Marius Zaliukas, Ryan McGowan, Andrew Shinnie, Cammy Bell, Darren Randolph, Tom Hateley, Murray Davidson, Jonny Tuffey.

    Don't tell me you wouldn't love to stand in Ibrox and belt out "Pat McCourt's Fenian Army"

    Medro you look comfortable at Ibrox for fourth tier football, but when you are in Belfast
    with your wilie chum you look very exposed. What the hell are you talking about your
    drive way. What ever it is it doesn't lead to a house, maybe a broken down caravan.
    But I can understand you doing a " job " on the stones as you would have nothing
    else.
