Yet again, the team spirit pulls us through. Stone wall penalty on Aluko, typical Fr. Brines.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE CHAMPIONS, THAT'S WHY WE'RE CHAMPIONS, THAT'S WHY WE'RE CHAMPIONS, THAT'S WHY WE'RE CHAMPION!

Glad to be here mate. I was on EA but got banned, it's too strict over there.

Not the biggest fan of getting names of guys on the back of my strips but went for it. Since Jela's left he is now the best striker in the league.

What happened to that Albetz guy? Has he pied this forum already?

RANGERS star Kyle Bartley was under fire last night after appearing to criticise a rape victim.
The defender, on loan at Ibrox from Arsenal, posted blistering comments on Twitter moments after his friend, Ched Evans, was jailed for attacking a drunk teenager.

The pair became close when Bartley, 20, and Wales international striker Evans, 23, played together for Sheffield United.

Minutes after Evans was sent down for five years for raping the 19-year-old girl at a hotel following a night out in Rhyl, north Wales, last May, Bartley tweeted: “Some very very stupid girls out there. Lost a good friend, and a great person. devastated.”

Bartley was travelling with the Ibrox first team ahead of their SPL clash with Hearts when he posted the tweet. But just minutes later he removed it and insisted: “My tweet is nothing about public news. It’s about something very personal to me and my close friends.”

However, his original message was widely circulated and he was described as a “rape apologist”, while another Tweeter added: “what a sad excuse for a human being he is”

Other said they did not believe his explanation, saying: “KYLE BARTLEY JUST GAVE THE STUPIDEST AND MOST BS EXCUSE KNOWN TO MAN!”

Rangers last night said they “are investigating”, but claimed the player told officials he was writing about a friend’s mental breakdown after being cheated on by his girlfriend.

It is understood that manager Ally McCoist plans to carpet the player this morning before the game at Tynecastle.

Former under-17 England international Bartley later added: “I appreciate very bad timing of tweet. However was not aware of recent public news at the time, as we are on the team coach.

“Apologies if tweet was misinterpreted. It was regarding a close friend who has been diagnosed with severe depression due to a personal issue.”

His former team-mate Evans, of Penistone, South Yorkshire, was found guilty of raping the girl, who was “too drunk to consent” to sex. Port Vale defender Clayton McDonald was cleared of the same charge.

As Evans hung his head in shame, Judge Merfyn Hughes QC told him: “CCTV footage shows the extent of her intoxication when she stumbled into your friend. As the jury have found, she was in no condition to have sexual intercourse. You must have realised that.”

He told Evans he might have been used to receiving attention from women in the past due to his success as a footballer, but this case was “very different”.

Bartley met Evans after joining the Blades on loan in 2010. He then spent the second half of the 2010 season with Rangers and returned to Glasgow this season.
