    Bad news if true, especially now Bartley is out for the season and McCulloch still out.

    It will probably mean that Whittaker will play at CB and with Foster in at RB.

    If we are to win this title, we'll need to do it the hard way.

    I didn't realise that Bartley was out for the season. What with there being a break from domestic football and not using 606 any more I've completely lost track of things.

    Someone mentioned that Maloney was almost back to full fitness. I give him two games before his chesse straws for legs give way again!

    Why the **** did Bougherra go all the way to Algeria with an injury and then turn out for them?

    You do realise by the time he's back he will be up in front of the SFA for his actions in the Scottish Cup tie? If he gets a ban then his season could already be over as we speak.

    Bougherra never played for Algeria because of the injury.

    He did travel all the way on a flight to Algeria to be checked over by their team doctor though. That would certainly not have helped his recovery would it?

    I have no idea if sitting on a plane for 4 hours would harm a hamstring injury, do you?

    Come on Edge, would that not have been time better spent receiving treatment from his club?

    A 4 hour plane journey in a pressurised cabin.... and back. Plus knowing his previous even if he was fit and played there was a very good chance he would go awol again.

    It's a ridiculous situation, but I don't think Rangers had much say in the matter.

    Perhaps, but like Rangers and Bougherra said, the injury was worse than first thought, so I can't really see any blame with any parties.
