Similar to the stats he had in his first season with us and similar to the stats he had in the first few months with City. No one has ever doubted his talent just his work rate and motivation long-term.

Arsenal won't have a striker to match RVP but hopefully we can have more goals coming from across the team next year. We need to get a defensive midfielder and, imo, one more striker.

Rangers: SFL clubs vote new club into Division Three.

Rangers have been voted into Division Three following a meeting of Scottish Football League clubs, BBC Scotland understands.

With Rangers in div 3, you might as well give Celtic the SPL cup now.

When the Scottish leagues lose TV money they'll regret not letting Ranger "Newco" in the SPL.

The English clubs should now say if Celtic want in the PL they start at the bottom as well.

wonder if Rangers will now look at going into the lower leagues in England instead

I doubt it. Wenger has year after year had superior performing strikers despite the doom and gloom around the club. In fact once up on a time people cried RVP was not good enough to replace Adebayor ;)

If you would have said Fabregas or Nasri or Flamini etc then yes I would have held my hands up. But for strikers Wenger might sign some terrible strikers but barely a year goes by when at least one of ours isn't a superstar.

Despite popular belief, scottish football is more than celtic and rangers, except if you ask old firm fans

I'd rather see my club struggle, then allow a club to cheat and benefit because they consider they are too big to be punished.

And as far as the rangers fans are concerned, instead of throwing toys out of the pram, recognise that your club was in the wrong, and accept the punishment. Tired of hearing "yah, put us in 3, hope you are all jealous of our money"

LFC have signed Fabio Borini from Roma, just waiting for the official word to come out.

Its true, you might as well give the league title each season to Celtic as there isn't a club big enough to take Celtic on.

SFA have shot themself in the foot, without the Old Firm games to bring in the Tv money Scottish football is dead, and Rangers playing in the third division don't make me laugh, some of there grounds are not big enough for the Rangers fans.

Sky and ESPN will pull out of tv or re talk there contracts and l guarantee it won't be a lot of money now.

Bye By Scottish football:(

Slight exaggeration

Less money, yes. Death of scottish football?

You don't think it was struggling now? Best thing in the world would be both old firm teams leaving, or accepting they do not own the game in Scotland

Yeah it's a shame about Gylfi but as a player with no connection to the club (reportedly a Man U fan) it's no surprise that he would jump at the opportunity to double his money or whatever the real figures happen to be.

Rangers are members of the FA. They were given honorary membership many, many years ago and it was never removed or revoked...

But yeah it'll never happen so let's move on.

Already being worked on. At least three SPL clubs have had 'chats' with their banks about revised budgets and plans for repaying their debts.
At the SPL meeting on Monday I fully expect some form of compromise to be offered to get Rangers back into the SPL this season or next.

Hopefully they get told to shove it where the sun don't shine and Rangers rebuilt and grow on the way back up.
