Well after the the first international break we remain at the top of the SPL after a solid start to the season. Special mention must be made to the Hearts game where I must admit I was thinking a draw was unrealistic considering recent games away against Hearts. Need to keep it up against Motherwell and get a good win.
Now in the summer lets face it, I think we all knew that this summer in terms of transfers would be a quite one. I for one though ain't too bothered. We have a good team that only seemed to get stronger last season. Yes we do have some problem areas in the team like the lack of cover in the centre back position in case Wier or Bougherra get injured. Plus I think we need to start looking for a long term replacment for Weir now. Left Wing has always been a problem area, but Rothen is a good signing in my opinion and will prove to be yet another piece of good buiness by Walter. Miller and Boyd is without question the best front pair in the SPL. They are lethal together casue they can play off each other so well.
Not bothered about Ferguson leaving at all. Great player and I will always remember him for the right reasons, but it was his time to go. Looking at it, some of the players who will be back from injury this season will feel like new signings. Thomson is without question a gem in our team. I think we missed him last year. He does all the dirty work and has to ability to create or do something to change a game, like for example the goal he scored against Celtic a couple of years ago and the great work he did against Barca at Ibrox. Our midfield will be much stronger once he's back to full fitness. Will be good to see Naismith back too. Hopefully he'll get more games this season and can show us all what he can do.
Finally, the Champions League group......how one earth did we fluke that group haha. Tough group don't get me wrong, but lets face it, couldn't we ask for a better group in terms of being able to qualify to the next round. They are good teams but at Ibrox we can get a result against them all and a good chance away too. Sevilla are quality but they aren't the same team they were a few years ago. We should be getting though and enjoy some post xmas champions league football and maybe get a showdown with an English team and try and restore a bit of Scottish pride :s
Good to have the football back!!! And a final word of thanks to David Murray. We have had an up and down ride with him over the many years he's run this club but he overall did a great job. Think the time was right to take a step back but I would like pass my own words of thanks to him for his services to the club. Enter a new era at Ibrox, lets make it Golden!!
