News that Fraser Forster has signed a long term contract with Celtic, who will pay Newcastle United £2m for his services, adds some welcome stability ahead of the Champions League qualifiers. Buying a new, first-choice, keeper is fraught with the kind of difficulties Neil Lennon would rather avoid.
Last summer we looked at Croatian international Stipe Pletikosa, who performed at the European Championships, but he failed to impress during his trial period at Celtic, including a poor performance against Wolves at Celtic Park.
Last year we also looked at Polish cap, Gregorz Sandomierski, who subsequently went to Belgian club racing Genk for €3m, but he failed to make a competitive appearance for Genk and was shipped back to Poland on loan. By comparison, Forster, who turned 24 on St Patrick’s Day, cemented his place with the champions.
Last year Celtic concluded a provisional deal with Newcastle to sign Fraser on a permanent deal this summer but although player and club were both keen to do business, negotiations took until the end of the players’ summer break, perhaps reflecting a tightening of Celtic’s finances ahead of what could be a period of financial uncertainty in the Scottish game.

I was planning to stop for a leisurely lunch in Lochranza. If I could do it in three hours I would be in France not Arran
Enjoy yourself I am just a bit pee’d off cause someone stole my pride and joy from my shed, my ridgeback flight one that practically went itself, it was a dream bike and if I ever find the guy that stole it he is toast.
Enjoy Arran it is the most scenic ride you will ever have.
I honestly believe there will be No Rangers FC,The Rangers FC, Sevco wit ever number they want to put on it, in any league next season. THEY are finished. FINITO, GONE, DEAD. Get used to it. It’s great being a TIM. :))

Cycled Arran twice. It’s around about 54 miles or so. Brodick to Lochranza is probably the hilliest. Lochranza has a great wee pub for a wee break. Been round it both ways but both times on pretty wind free sunny days. Excellent cycle all round.
The string road from Machrie to Brodick is fun too. Good challenge if you like a climb.

My gut instinct is that rangers then Sevco told the masonic powers that be a couple of months ago that there was no way any rangers or sevco would be in a position to play league football in the coming season.
The last few weeks “shift” between the Spl, SFA way and SFL have been purely to drag out the decision close enough to the beginning of the season so there is no way any other team can take the vacant slot. Division 3 plays with 9 teams for a season.
By the beginning of 2013/14 season a Spl2 is agreed, with the newhuns getting a slot in that.

That has to be the biggest load of cack I’ve read. Conspiracy theories? That’s kickin the ass right oot of paranoia!!!!
Hen1rik,
I think we both know Phil better than that. :)

Just how bad does it need to get before the Scoddish Meeja acknowledge the death of RFC IA? Could snivelling shug not retire with some dignity, rather than sh|+# on our fathers graves with his continued demand for the reincarnation of a hunteam?
I never once heard the arguement that Saddam was good for stability in Iraq.
Undoubtedly his regime ensured more security. Hitler was good for jobs in Germany.
Despite how many of them are conflicted they will never admit fault. The Peepl are scum.

My humble advice is for you to cycle round the island in an anticlockwise direction. Get the hilly climbs over in the morning. Make sure the brakes are in order for the descent into Lochranza. After your lunch in the Lochranza hotel (limit the amount of pints) you have an easy stretch beside to sea with a view of the Mull of Kintyre on your right. Still a long way to go so stop at the Catacol for another beer. You now have enough energy to get to Blackwaterfoot (hotel). Stop for refreshments ,you could even stay for the night.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Murray Park is the training ground of association football team The Rangers Football Club Ltd located in Auchenhowie, Milngavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow.
Just been over on Rangers Tax Case and somebody posted a transcript of some guff spouted by Chico Green on Rangers T.V.
In the transcript, he is quoted as saying….
“Lord Carloway may even just withdraw the licence to play at all if we go back to the tribunal.”
Now did he actually say that? – and if he did, what does it mean?
Who decides whether they go back to the Tribunal or not? – Green?, Regan?, the man on the moon?
