I think most will agree that Rangers' start to 2010 has been a little underwhelming. A good point at Parkhead in the derby was followed by three tricky matches against Hamilton in which at least four of our players picked up injuries (will we ever have a fully-fit squad??) and we face a tough game against Hearts on Saturday with a paper-thin squad to choose from.
And today we have had the worrying news that Aston Villa and Birmingham have put in bids for Kris 'the Goal Machine' Boyd to join them in the summer, although he also has a contract extension from our very own Gers on the table. I think the vast majority of fans hope that Boyd re-signs for Rangers and goes on to break more records - who knows, he could one day better the scoring exploits of one Ally McCoist MBE - but only time will tell. So we must do the only thing we can do - keep the faith!
One bit of good news is that a Harrogate True Blues lapel badge will be available for purchase on the way home from Saturday's match, priced at just £2. I will be doing the rounds on the coach with Stephen 'Sebo' Reid, who has kindly offered to model the badge so you can all see just how good it looks (even on him). So, even if Saturday's result doesn't go our way (I'm trying to remain optimistic despite our injury crisis - honest), at least you will have something to put a smile on your face!
