Yeah Nieto is a young striker and if Gers give him a permanant move he will be good. I'm offering him a contract on FM2006 hopefully he will accept :)

I know there is some top quality guys and girls on FF but there is a proportion of bigots and folk who get nasty when the going gets tough.
Who gives a f**k about what goes on at COTH?. They have nothing better to talk about so they have to use FF for inspiration.;)

J-Rod! :angry:
Well it wasn't just him, at least 3 players made a mistake leading up to that goal.
first of J-Rod, missing the ball.
Secondly Waterreus coming off his line, Brahim was beating the player to the ball and could have possible passed it back.
Lastly. Kyrgiakos could have got to the ball, but he wasn't looking while running and ended up running past the ball but I wouldn't give him too much of the blame.
All in favour for Der Goalie to come back!

02-11-2005, 08:33
Klos needs to be back in the starting line-up now surely, 3 games in a row Waterreus has cost us a goal!

Clyde Frog
02-11-2005, 17:24
Still, there are positives ahead, if Rangers beat Porto, and Artmedia lose to Inter, then we have qualified, as we got the vital away goals against Artmedia. Porto will be very tough away but if Artmedia could do it, then why can't we, also Inter probably will beat Artmedia at home which means they will have qualified by the last game and when they come to face Rangers, they have AC Milan at the weekend I think so it could be more likely again for Inter to rest some key players.
Gun_Runner
02-11-2005, 17:43
Lets hope so anyway, if we qualify to the knockout stage then who knows what could happen.
Bring back Klos. If we lose on Saturday, surely that must be it for McLeish, especially with away fixtures at Celtic twice, Porto and Hibs this month.

They signed him because Klos injured himself in training, to which McLeish had to bring in a replacement before the transfer window closed.

He makes the odd mistake at international level and all of a sudden he's a clown. In the Premiership, he is one of the best and most consistent keepers.

1 thing you can say is whether we had got james or not we have always had qaulity keepers here at Ibrox;)
And i dont think James is a bad keeper he just doesn't perform at International level the way he does at club level IMO.

I just watched the highlights there, unfortunately I couldn't make it as I was ill :(
Steven Thompson didn't look too bad with the efforts he created and with Dado Prso's overhead, he was unlucky but it was an open goal and I'm sure he could have laid it off for someone. Klos was only tested once, well wasn't really a test.
Brilliant preperations coming up for an Old Firm double without a win in....weeks!

Clyde Frog

Is anyone else baffled that it wasn't more than 2-0?
Another question, if Waterreus was in goals, would you have critisize him?
Anyway, this was suppose to be a match against our closest rivals and yet half of the Rangers team was invicible *cough Jeffers*.
What happens from here now?
-Yes, we were very fortunate not to get hammered more than 2-0.
-I would have definitely criticised Wattereus, I will openly admit to wanting Stefan Klos back hin the team and I think he should stay there. Wattereus had a good 12-15 games this season and we were in deep shite, it's only fair that Klos has his chance.
-It wasn't just Jeffers that was invisible, Lovenkrands was useless as usual, Bernard was plain shite, Kyrgiakos was acting like a nobend, Bernard was plain shite, Ricksen was no where to be seen and nobody in the team could make a pass to save their lives.
-I think we will get humped three more times before Murray does the unthinkable and sacks McLeish, a month late and leaving us fucked in the league, out of Europe and we are already out of the cup.

I think I found the reason why.
WEB BOSSES SHUT OLD FIRM FAN SITES
Plug pulled after abuse
By Peter Doyle
TWO Old Firm supporter websites have been closed after fans traded sectarian abuse on their pages.
A death threat to Celtic's Neil Lennon made by the Rangers fan site Follow Follow sparked a deluge of insults on their message board from Celtic supporters.
Rangers followers returned fire on the message board of the Come On The Hoops site.
Internet entertainment company, Footymad closed both sites as the attacks poured in.
The fan forums are run independently of Celtic and Rangers and visited by tens of thousands of Old Firm fans every day.
Footymad, who run more than 150 similar websites for football clubs across the UK, say they had no choice but to close down their Old Firm message boards after cyberspace exchanges between rival fans on Monday evening became heated and descended into a sectarian slanging match.
Now both sites face permanent expulsion from the world wide web after a Celtic supporter wrote an article accusing Footymad of bias towards Rangers fans.
Footymad spokesman Les Holmes said: "They have been closed down for a breach of terms and conditions"We had no choice but to remove the Celticand Rangers message boards from our network because the messages that were being posted on them were inappropriate."
The internet row began when a cartoon image of Neil Lennon being hanged with the caption "Hang Neil Lennon, hang him high" was posted on Follow Follow.
A similar threat against the Irishman's life was posted on the same website last month after details of a gala dinner in his honour, which is being held tonight in the Thistle Hotel, Glasgow, were revealed.
Anti-sectarian campaigning MSP Donald Gorrie yesterday welcomed the move, saying: "The speed at which they have taken action is commendable.
"Stopping such nonsense appearing in the first place would be a step forward."

Now all we need is a Porto win, or a draw to secure us in the last 16.
My mistake with this, I thought we had 7 points but we have 6, so it's a draw we need, unless we can give Inter a thumping, we need them to draw.
If Artmedia draw and we lose, I think that's us through. However Artmedia are about as unpredictable as the Scottish weather. Either way, its in our own hands. We should go out for a win knowing in full confidence that it will put us 100% through.

He was also in amongst the criticism that he wouldn't become the player we all hoped but that goal surely will boost his confidence and I don't see why Eck shouldn't start him against Hibs to keep his confidence up, he was the perfect player to become the hero of the night and I hope Eck puts him in the first team more often or bring him on more often.
Also, he says that Dado Prso is the reason why he is improving, everyday in training the big man is always giving him help and looks like it's paid off :)

I remember Derek Johnstone making a column on him saying that the Rangers fans expected alot from him, first thing that went in my head when I heard we where linked with him was "oh shit!", I knew this wasn't going to be good, a player who can barely score for Charlton. I have no clue why we got him, atleast it's on loan and probably will go back to Charlton.

Another pathetic performance today, all the players deserved the massive boo they got.
However there is one good point from today. It has been confirmed that a new manager is taking charge come Thursday. The manager to be confirmed hasn't been linked with the job like Le Guen, Burley etc has so it should be interesting to see who it could be. Plus their supposidly getting a hefty some for the transfer market.
Maybe Johan Neeskens? Has no club, but I doubt its him.

Good news for tomorrow, Inter have left our a couple of starts but theres one big problem. Adriano's playing alongside Martins:(.
Inter Milan have arrived in Glasgow ahead of tomorrow's Champions League match and Roberto Mancini has left Javier Zanettiseveral of his top team stars at home.
Make no mistake, it is still an exceptionally strong squad on show for the Italian giants and the Nerazzurri obviously feel they are capable of getting a result without the help of some of their regular starters.
There was no place in the travelling party for Luis Figo, Juan Sebastian Veron, Ivan Cordoba, Dejan Stankovic, Kily Gonzalez, Julio Cruz and Alvaro Recoba.
Instead the manager has brought a mixture of experience and youth to represent Inter at Ibrox.
Club captain Javier Zanetti missed the first clash with Rangers through injury but returned to the side late last month and has been an ever-present since.
Chilean midfielder David Pizarro netted the winner for Inter in the San Siro against Alex McLeish's side and is also included.
The Light Blue defence are set for a busy night as Adriano has also travelled, as well as Nigerian starlet Obafemi Martins.Obafemi Martins
The Inter squad includes:
GK -Francesco Toldo, Julio Cesar, Paolo Orlandoni
DEF - Nicolas Burdisso, Javier Zanetti, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Giuseppe Favalli, Marco Materazzi, Walter Samuel, Pierre Wome, Marco Andreolli
MID - Cristiano Zanetti, David Pizarro, Esteban Cambiasso, Santiago Solari, Daniel Maa Boumsong
FOR - Adriano, Obafemi Martins, Matteo Momente

Big Eck still getting the sack?
Despite this result, I think it is most certain he will be out, but this is good for him aswell as Rangers as he can leave with his head held high.
Wierd, McLeish has made history this season both the good and bad, 1. for the worst team in Rangers history, but still first Scottish club past the group phase.
I was at the game and I was full of nerves, shortly after Inter went 1-0 up, I went to get a drink just before half time, right before I was about to get served, heard everyone cheering, ran out and went crazy, jumped on top of the closest person next to me and back at the end of the queue, before it was too late, I noticed I dropped £5 while celebrating but still had enough for the coke and burger. :)
Got the end of the match on video when we where awaiting the Artmedia and Porto result, brilliant!
P.S. The conditions in that game were completely terrible.

We were pretty lucky that the conditions were so bad there. I seen the highlights and both teams could have easily scored if it wasn't for the ball getting stuck in the mud.

Good news for the Killie clash on Sunday, wee Nacho's back and Gavin Rae's training with the squad again.:)
The good news just keeps coming for Alex McLeish this week as Nacho Novo has been declared fit for Sunday's trip to Kilmarnock.
Nacho was injured at TynecastleThe Spaniard has been missing for 10 weeks, after breaking a bone in his foot during Gers' clash with Hearts back in September.
He battled desperately to be fit for last Tuesday's Champions League clash with Inter Milan, but the game came too soon and now he is expected to make his return at Rugby Park.
His inclusion in the squad is a massive boost as Rangers aim to reproduce their excellent European form in the league.
Three points is a must and victory would take Alex McLeish's side above Killie, who are currently two points ahead in Kris Boydfourth place.
McLeish said: "Kilmarnock are a good side and I admire what Jim Jefferies and Billy Brown have done in the game in general.
"They have great momentum at the moment and it looks as though the players are gelling very well. But we have to concentrate on ourselves.
"Nacho is in the squad for Sunday's game and it's great to have him back in contention.
"Dado unfortunately is not quite ready yet. He pushed hard to be fit for Tuesday's game but now we have allowed him to back off a bit.
"Julien Rodriguez and Brahim Hemdani are undergoing treatment but there's not much more to report on them."
Novo's return is a huge boost for the manager, as is the news that long-term absentee Gavin Rae will rejoin full training next Monday.
The midfielder has endured a torrid time with injuries since his transfer from Dundee almost two years ago.
Gavin Rae A hamstring tear sidelined him initially, before he suffered cruciate ligament damage against Dundee United in April 2004.
During the lengthy rehabilitation period from that operation, however, Rae then developed tendonitis in his other knee and was forced to undergo yet more surgery.
That operation took place in Sweden over the summer and now the 28-year-old is looking forward to getting his career back on track by pulling on the Light Blue jersey once again.
McLeish added: "Gavin is back in training and will be with the full squad on Monday. It's fantastic to see him out there again taking part and walking around with a smile on his face.
"He is a welcome addition to the squad."
Clyde Frog
10-12-2005, 20:45
Gavin who?
:rolleyes:
I can't see us beating Kilmarnock, I mean after that draw against Porto, everyone thought it would give us alot of confidence, until we probably played one of our worst performances in the SPL, from the start you knew it was only a matter of time Hibs scored against us.
Kris Boyd is a goalscorer, should be a good signing for Rangers and he won't be cup tied.
I wonder if we bought Scoot Brown, Kris Boys and Rudi Skacel in January, where we would finish in the league? You would have to consider that these three players would make their teams worse off and leave us for the CL next year.
I'm clutching at straws here. Although these are the next fixtures:
Killie (A)
Hearts (H)
Dunfermeline (A)
Dundee Utd (H)
Motherwell (A)
then
Livi (H)
If we don't win in all of those, (which may sound ridiculous but with our current domestic form it is a possibility) five games before Livi, surely we couldn't still keep Eck in charge.
Also Scottish Cup, Peterhead at Ibrox. Could we win that?

I think I mentioned it before somewhere but both sets of the Old Firm rejected Scot Brown because they didn't think he was cut out, and the fact that Hibs are ahead of us in the league and it's nearly half way through the season, he would never come, don't think he would come if Hibs where in the bottom half, Kris Boyd is probably our most realistic target, DJ on Clyde thinks it's done and dusted but then again, he thought that Eck getting the sack was done and dusted.
Also Scottish Cup, Peterhead at Ibrox. Could we win that?
I wouldn't bet on it thats for sure.

Finally an away win.
Hopefully McLeish has learned that playing Lovleypants through the middle is better than sticking him out wide, 4 goals in 2 matches is exellent so hopefully he's back up their next week. Did anyone actually see the game ? I was listening to it on the radio and sounded as if Buffel and Lovenkrand were shit hot!
5 goals in 3 games mate. ;)
Although our defence is still as solid as a sponge, they just leak goals constantly. Until we solve that problem we won't be able to get a good run together. Although Jim Jeffries is still a complete arsehole, in his post match interview he said that Andy Davis should never be allowed to have control in a Rangers game. :angry: Believe it or not, that was our first hattrick in the league since December 2002 when Bazza got one for us. :eek:
Clyde Frog
11-12-2005, 16:43
Finally!
Anyone listening to Clyde?
DJ said "if I had inspired him on in anyway..." :laugh:
Lovenkrands deserves the praise for the last few games, 5 goals and 3 games, at first I thought Buffel took too many turns and was going to fuck it up but Lovenkrands stole the goal, Buffel will probably let him off though since it was for his hat-trick, the last time a Rangers player got a hat-trick was back in 2003 with Christian Nerlinger, against Forfar, in the league was even longer which was Barry Ferguson against Dunfermline I think.
I was shittin' myself when they scored the first goal, first thing that went in my head was "not again!". After Livingston and Falkirk we went 2-0, I guess it's 3rd time lucky. :innocent:
Defence definately has to improve, surely it will be time for Klos, Waterreus has made many mistakes yet he gets chance after chance, Klos comes in and wasn't tested against Aberdeen, then he made 2 mistakes against Celtic which ment he gets dropped. Waterreus comes back in for the other Celtic game, lose 3-0 but 3rd goal was his fault and today he was all over the place. I think it's time for Klos, not sure about against Hearts as it is a big game, then again it only looks like a big game cause they are ahead of us but there bubble looks to have burst, so maybe Klos could come in for that game.

Marvin Andrews got sort of collided with Waterreus, Waterreus was off his line to get the ball (to the right of his goal), but instead of Marvin clearing it, he tries to dribble it and the Killie player behind him knocked the ball from him, ball gets passed along to the centre, open goal for McDonald. Second goal came from a freekick, Waterreus was all over the place but the main question was the foul that led to the freekick, Nacho Novo chasing the ball and he was just using his body strength, barely anything in it and freekick gets giving against him.

Thanking you very much Caley thistle. If Celtic drop points in two more games before the next Old Firm match, we still have a glimmering chance. Hearts are already on the slipperly slope and Hibs don't have what it takes.

Rangers look poised to sign Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd after having an offer accepted by the Rugby Park club.
Ibrox manager Alex McLeish has been given permission to speak to the 22-year-old, who has also been targeted by Sheffield Wednesday.
Kilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston said: "I am pleased to say we reached a successful conclusion after talks and we have agreed a fee with Rangers.
"It is close to what we are looking for, which was £500,000."
Boyd's agent Raymond Sparkes refused to be drawn on the transfer fee but confirmed that the player would begin negotiations on Thursday.
"We will be speaking with Rangers this afternoon but I cannot say whether I foresee any problems developing," said Sparkes.
"We will listen to what Rangers have got to say and then see if that suits both parties.
"I have no idea what they will offer but we will find out this afternoon and then have something else to say."
Boyd - who is currently the Scottish Premier League's leading scorer, with 15 goals - is out of contract in the summer, which leaves him free to speak to any interested clubs from 1 January.
And the Ayrshire side would rather cash in on their star asset when the January transfer window opens than lose him for nothing at the end of the season.
Killie chief Johnston also revealed that Kilmarnock will benefit if Rangers sign Boyd and then sell him in the future.
He added: "We have secured an agreement on a percentage of a future fee, which we felt was important because we feel certain Kris Boyd is going to develop very well.

Paul Hartley? Couldn't see him going to Rangers, Celtic have been chasing him for about a year I think.
About the Kris Boyd story, I seriously hope this is good, I can't say though like Nacho Novo scored 25 goals for Dundee then had a half good season with Rangers and bad start to his second, hopefully this turns out to be a good signing if we get him.
If we get rid of Jeffers and Nieto which we probably are then Boyd would be a good signing. A proven talent in Scottish football, he knows the style of play and because he supports Rangers, he knows what it means to play for us. He will give his all and he is already the top scorer in the SPL this season at a club who are 5th. He is the 4th top scorer since the SPL started in the 1998/99 season. Definitely a good thing.
Christ, I didn't know that the SPL was only formed in '98. Boyd will be a good signing for Rangers if it all goes through.

Hopefully Boyd will turn out to be a good signing for us. But with the form Lovleypants is on it would be difficult to choose who to play up front as Novo's near enough back and Prso's back soon. McLeish will figure something out though.;)

He's not a natural left sided midfeilder, he preferes to play upfront through the middle. Dick Advocaat played him left mid and that's where he's been ever since. Now that we'v seen what he can do through the middle i wouldn't even bother playing him out wide again.
EDIT: Daz i think that too, i'd like to see Fanfan given a chance though, he seemed pretty good a right back but obviously he isn't going to be playing there so i'd like to see him partner Andrews, as we'v not really seen what he can do at cb.

I do feel sorry for Nieto. Nieto only played about 4 SPL games, scoring with his first touch when he came on against Dunfermline and 2 in the CIS cup, Jeffers has had about 5 times amount of games than Nieto yet all he does is hide behind defenders. I can't understand why Derek Johnstone expected so much from him because he came from the Premiership, just because hes from the Premiership doesn't mean he is good. Soon as I heard the rumours, right away I was worried and during the time he has been here hasn't changed my opinion in anyway, I will be glad to see him go but will have some sympathy for Nieto.

Back in his Arsenal days he was a great prospect but since his move to Charlton that great prospect has just turned into a shite prospect.

What would be your starting XI for Gers? Im managing them on FM. This is my FM team report. This is mine:
GK: Klos
RB: Ricksen
LB: Bernard**
CB: Fanfan**
CB: Bob Malcolm
RM: Figueroa*
LM: Loverkrands**
CM: Barry Ferguson
CM: Thomas Buffell
ST: Dado Prso
ST: Steven Thompson
* = Signed by moi
**= Needs replacing
Steven Thompson is simply doing better than Novo but is being challenged by Nieto. Thompson also scored 2 goals in the 2-0 win over Udinese in the Champions League thus sending Rangers through.
Figueroa has scored 4 goals in 6 appearences for his new club following his £55k move to Rangers including a stunner in the 3-2 win over Falkirk.
A new CB is needed with none of them performing except Bob Malcolm. Bernard is simply not Rangers quality. Stefan Klos and Ronald Wattereus have both signed contracts seeing out the carreer at Ibrox.

My Rangers team at the moment is shot hot. I can't quite remember them all but my main player is Pisculichi, he plays as a left midfeilder. Bosko Balaban for upfront, he'll bag in all the goals. I'm not sure though about the rest though, i'll get back to you tomorrow about them. A definete signing is Pisculichi though.:cool:

Is Prso tired or his morale low ?
If his morale is low that's why he's not scoring, to sort that out what i usually do is when i'm winning a match say 3-0 at like the 60th minute bring him on as a sub. he should then get about a 7-8 and his morale will start to increase.

Exellent! Atleast now we knoe we'll have a striker that plays for the jersey and not the cash.
Good point, although Prso does get paid a lot you always see his passion shining through, hope Boyd does the trick for us.
I would also like to see Fanfan being given a fair chance! I hate when Rangers do this, we sign a player and either dont play them at all, or play them out of position, eg. Fanfan when he played at RB against Celtic and had a good game, Masniero-never got a game.... and we're gonna let Nieto go back home, personally I would have kept him on as he looked pretty sharp when he was playing.

Prso is a left winger, striker and a right winger all at once at Rangers, the team make him do all the work, once he gets the ball the take a break to catch there breath.
50!, Also me that he should be given a chance, simply because Rodriguez was really doing my head in with all his errors, and before Pierre-Fanfan got dropped, he was been played out of position, although when he came back in for the Livi game, he made a huge error and could of lost the game, basically I am uncertain about all our defenders, Andrews isn't quite the same he was last season.

RWB - Ricksen
CM - Hemdani
CM - Ferguson
AM - Buffel

I went unbeaten in 23 until THEY beat me 1-0, surprise surprise penalty in the 83rd, commentary said it was harsh! I was raging as I got to the last 8 of the UEFA Cup with this team putting out Basel, Feyenoord & Roma on the way.
PS. Im pretty confident with Andrews at the back, and before Rodriguez got injured he was playing well...its the gypsie Kyrgiakos I think is shaky-he makes too many slack passes etc. that could cost us... Im pretty happy when Alan Hutton plays right back for us aswell, because I think Ricksen does a better job in the right of midfield.

To be honest, I don't like any of our Centre Backs, Marvin Andrews though does get sympathy after what he has been through and his performances last season. Here are my views.
Julien Rodriguez - Seen to many mistakes from him, haven't been impressed at all.
Sotirios Kyrgiakos - Wasn't the defender he was last season, he is one of the better ones but is clumsy sometimes with tackles and recieved his third red card of the season.
Jose-Karl Pierre-Fanfan - Haven't seen enough of him, thought he was still good when he was dropped and was baffled why Julien Rodriguez remained in the starting line-up, came in for Livingston match and nearly lost the game because of his error.
Marvin Andrews - Like I said, he recieves a lot of sympathy after what he has gone through but he does make mistakes, the Kilmarnock comeback was because of Marvin Andrews attempting to dribble the ball out of the box, despite of 2 opponents in front and behind him.
I've said it before, a defender is a must sign for Alex McLeish, the only problem is finding a decent defender that wont be cup-tied for the Champions League. Seriously, for Rangers to make any kind of challenge to the league, we had to be careful about dropping points to come atleast in distance to Celtic and already we have dropped a 2 points, next game is against Dundee United who we haven't beating in like a year and a half, the chances of us winning are probably slim the way our team are performing. Fair play to the rest of the team that got us back in the game but whenever we score goals, the back seems to equal that amount. It is shocking how our team is slowly going down the ranks but yet in the last 16 of the Champions League. Something must be done, a defender should be a must need for Alex McLeish for us to come second, Hearts and Hibs will drop points, theres no question about it but that won't matter to Rangers if we don't take that to our advantage.

Just read in the Evening Times that Juan Roman Riquelme could go to Inter in the January sale because Veron is leaving at the end of the season, and we know what that would mean. :innocent:
Stevie Thompson could be out is well, Aberdeen have approached us about a loan but permanent is better.
Both of these sources has put a smile on my face. :)

Oh well, so much for Nieto staying, he's off back to Almagro because McLeish feels he won't find a spot in the starting line-up. I still say we should have tried to keep him though, he was a good prospect for the future.
Riquelme to Inter eh? Sounds good but i'm not sure it would happen this season, maybe at the end of the season though. Villareal may accept an offer but i doubt he'd go as this season he'd get to play Champions league football, but moving to Inter would meen he wouldn't be eligible to play. Would be good to see him go though.
Stevie Thompson, get rid of him. He's a liability up front, just like Jeffers at the moment. He's struggling to get a game then when he does he screwes up perfect goalscoring oppertunities. Kris Boyd will fill in his position, so i say sell him, don't know why we signed him in the first place to be honest. The only decent things i'v seen him do is score against Celtic.

I agree, although with Nacho Novo back from injury, Dado Prso to come back, Kris Boyd coming in, Ross McCormack as young prospect and Peter Lovenkrands now playing up front and good at it, there is little chance of him getting first team, I just hope it wouldn't be a decision for Rangers to regret.

To be honest, I thought he was good when we signed him, and through the disaster of 2003/2004. He was one of the better players I believe, and in the last Old Firm at Ibrox (which was my first Old Firm I went to), Thompson and Burke where on the bench, both come on and Burke set up Thompson to score, there were questions asked why they didn't start as of many people expected them to. But last season and this season he hasn't been playing and do think it's time for him to go. Like an Airplane, he took off well but crashed and burned.

I'm pretty sure he was on the bench. The fact is that he has came to Ibrox and done sweet fuck all, yet there hasn't been anything mentioned of him going back to Charlton on the official website, I don't see what the suspense is, if he does stay then there is obviously something fucked up at the club, but that is a long shot of him staying, then again you never know under McLeish. :rolleyes:

Finally, fucking great news!!!
Fanny Jeffers is heading back down south after tomorrow's fixture against Dundee United.:happy:
ALEX McLEISH has confirmed that Franny Jeffers will return to Charlton Athletic following tomorrow' s SPL match with Dundee United.
The former Arsenal and Everton striker arrived at Ibrox at the end of August on a four-month loan deal but has struggled with injury and is yet to score for the Light Blues.
Rangers could have extended the 24 year-old's stay in Scotland but have chosen not to exercise that option meaning Jeffers will return down south in the New Year.
Francis JeffersMcLeish said: "Franny is going to go back to Charlton. His last action with Rangers will be tomorrow.
"He's been unlucky with injuries during his loan period which for me was pretty significant in why it didn't quite work out for him.
"If I hadn't brought him in we maybe could have been doing better in the league but out of the Champions League so how I can regret bringing him in?
"I think he can still make an impact when he goes back to the Premiership but he needs the right partner.
"I don't believe we found the right blend while he was here and that was due to exceptional circumstances like injuries.
"We played him in Porto on his own up front and that doesn't suit him but we needed to do that as we were stretched to the limits.
"You can't underestimate the performance of the group in that game rather than any individual prowess."

Real Zaragoza and Bayer Leverkusen are reported to be lining up a move for Rangers ace Peter Lovenkrands.
Lovenkrands' future at Rangers remains unsure with the Dane's current contract due to expire at the end of the season.
The winger has already rejected Rangers' first offer of a new deal although the Ibrox outfit are keen to keep him after his rich vein of form in recent weeks.
Lovenkrands is not aware of interest from Zaragoza or Bayer Leverkusen, but admitted he would consider any offer that came his way.
"I don't know anything about the rumours and my agent hasn't told me anything." Lovenkrands told Onside.dk.
"We will now see what the club says. I am under contract until the summer. Should an offer come, I will consider it."
Meanwhile, Federico Nieto has aimed a swipe at Alex McLeish following his departure from Ibrox.
The striker failed to live up to expectations at Rangers after arriving at the club on loan from Almagro.
McLeish decided to offload him along with Francis Jeffers and Nieto was unhappy with his lack of first team chances at Rangers.
"I believe I would have played more for Rangers but the coach did not have confidence in me from my arrival in Glasgow," Nieto told the Sunday Mail.
"From the first day, I did not have a clear view of my future in the team.
"The injuries didn't help and I have never had such bad luck as I did during my months at Rangers.
"It's best for me to forget my time in Scotland. It was a nightmare, a real negative experience."
I say if we can get a reasonable amount of cash for him, take it. As soon as big Dado's back Lovleypants will be pushed back out wide, with Dado & Boyd upfront, Buffel maybe behind them. He's having a good run of form through the middle but i don't think he'll be able to retain his position throughout the rest of the season.
With Nieto's situation, i kinda feel for him, he never really got much chances. I mean Jeffers got twice the amount of chances Nieto got to perform. Everyone could see that Jeffers was a mojor flop and Nieto had something but mcLeish obviously failed to see that. Watch this, Nieto will move on to another club and be a big hit.;)

give him an 18 month contract extension and if he stops performing then punt him in the summer.

I dunno, the way Lovenkrands has been scoring, he could catch up with Boyds tally in no time, and what if Kris Boyd doesn't live up to expectations like a few players and not score regularly, we can't drop a player that is performing well.
EDIT: Just checked, Lovenkrands is 4 goals behind Boyd.

Thommo's on his way....
Steven Thompson appears to be on his way to Cardiff after Rangers confirmed they have accepted an improved offer from the Championship side for the forward.
The Scotland international has been linked with a move away from the Scottish champions and it now looks like Ninian Park will be his next destination.
Gers boss Alex McLeish both sides have agreed a fee, with the player now left to agree personal terms with Cardiff to complete the deal.
"We have agreed a fee with Cardiff and it's now up to Stevie to tie up his end of things so everything looks as though it's going to move forward," he said.
"It was an improved offer but I don't know the figures. I think it was the way it was structured more than anything else."
Thompson's fallen down the pecking order for a place in Rangers' starting line-up after the arrival of Kris Boyd in the January transfer window.
The new signing from Kilmarnock made an immediate impression for his new employers with a hat-trick on his debut in the 5-0 Scottish Cup win over Peterhead.
McLeish was delighted with Boyd's debut performance and warned the SPL that there was plenty more to come from the front-man.
"He is 22 years of age and we believe that he can improve further," the former Hibernian manager said.
"That will have done his confidence a lot of good and taken a bit of pressure off him as well."
To be honest, i like Thommo, but i just think he's utter pants! In my opinion he's one of the weak links in Rangers' frontline. He did prove his worth to team in certain games, e.g Celtic, helping us in the champions league, but he's just not the striker we need. Now that we have Boyd, Lovenkrands, Prso, Novo, McCormack it would be best for Thommo to move down south and get first team football. If he were to stay here anylonger he would just be sitting on the bench or even in the reserves. If this deal goes through i wish big Thommo all the best down south!

RANGERS have swooped to sign England under-19 star Moses Ashikodi until the end of the season.
Moses AshikodiThe 18-year-old striker put pen to paper last week after impressing coaches at Murray Park and will now be looking to make the most of his time in Scotland and earn an extension to his current deal.
Nigerian born Ashikodi started his career as a youth player at Millwall and became the Lions youngest ever player when he made a substitute appearance against Brighton in 2003 aged just 15 and 240 days.
Even at this tender age, he had already graced the international scene and was widely tipped to become one of England's hottest prospects.
After playing in eight first-team matches, Moses elected to move to West Ham in August 2004 before joining Neale Cooper's Gillingham on loan.
Throughout his early years, he retained his place in the England youth squads and recently hit the headlines when he scored two goals in an under-19 friendly win over Switzerland on December on November 16, 2005.
It was this form that prompted Gers' coaches to act and they will now get the opportunity to cast their eyes over a player that has an undoubted ability in front of goal.
He made his debut yesterday, coming on as a substitute in the Reserves 2-1 win over Motherwell, and is proud to wear a Light Blue jersey.Moses Ashikodi
He said: "I am very happy to be a Rangers. All the players and coaches have been great with me so I have settled in really well.
"When I was in England I did not get the chance to see a lot of Scottish football but I did get to watch the club's Champions League games on TV.
"Everyone down south knows that Rangers is a massive club and I am very proud to have signed until the end of the season.
"Hopefully, I can show everyone what I can do and I can stay longer but I know that I will need to work very hard and give my all in every match I play in and also in training.
"In Murray Park, Rangers has the best facility I have ever seen so it will be great to work here every day."
Ashikodi admits that he struggled to settle at West Ham and Gillingham and that this had a detrimental effect on his performances on the pitch.
Moses AshikodiThe hitman views his move to Rangers as a fresh start and can't wait to start scoring goals again.
He said: "I know that I did not have the best of times at my previous clubs but this is now behind me and all I want to do now is give 110 per cent for Rangers.
"It is a fresh start and I am really looking forward to playing in Scotland and scoring goals again.
"I will start in the Reserves but hopefully I can impress the manager and get into the first-team set-up.
"That, of course, is every young players aim but hopefully I can put in a lot of hard effort and achieve this."
The youngster is an integral part of Martin Hunter's talented England under-19 team and has shown that he has the ability to shine on the international stage.
He said: "Whenever I get picked for England it is always a great feeling no matter what level you are playing at.
"I have been picked for my country since I was 14 so it is nice to know that you are seen as being one of the best players in the country at your age group."
Moses has already trained with his new Rangers teammates on several occasions and has watched a couple of first-team bounce matches.
He has been hugely impressed by the standard of players at the club and is looking forward to working with the strikers in the Gers' squad.
He said: "I have watched the team in action a couple of times now and they did very well. All the strikers looked good but I thought Ross McCormack was excellent. Ian Murray
"I know he scored a goal against Porto recently so it was good to see him play and I hope I can play alongside him in the next few months."
Hmm, not sure about him yet. Let's just see if he'll get a chance to show what he's got. He's being tipped as one of the best english youngsters around, also being tipped for the new Nacho Novo;)
Also i was listening to Real Radio the other night and there's rumours flying around that there a big surprise going to happen at the start of Febuary. Most likely something to do with Ibrox i heard, maybe seating capacity is getting increased, i dunno. Let's just wait and see what the good news is if there's any.
I doubt there will be any 'announcement', its just a ploy to make Rangers fans feel good. Although I have heard that there should be a card display for the Villarreal game. There will also be a card display at Celtic Park this weekend for him. I'm sure it will all give us another chance to laugh at them.

Found this, absolutely superb stuff. All Credit to Ivan Dobsky.
HELICOPTER SUNDAY
Let me tell you the tale of a Sunday in May,
We were two points behind Celtic with one game to play.
The tims had been crowing " the title's in the bag,
We've won the league again, fly the flag, fly the flag. "
They would be taught a lesson they'll always remember,
Don't write off the Rangers, we never surrender.
______________
We descended on Leith on the 22nd of May,
The waiting was over, it was judgement day.
With hope in our hearts and trannies in our hands,
We packed ourselves into the Easter Road stand.
The ref blew the whistle, the action began,
A wave of excitement swept over the fans.
But half an hour in came the news we were dreading,
Sutton had scored, for 2nd place we were heading.
Soon half-time arrived and the score remained zero,
We looked to the heavens and prayed for a hero.
The teams re-emerged and the second half started,
Not one of our loyal fans had departed.
Then all of a sudden - a promising break,
Buffel to Novo who made no mistake.
1-0 to Rangers, we were off the mark,
Our attentions now turned to events at Fir Park.
Celtic were coasting as the minutes ticked by,
They sang Championees and the Fields of Athenry.
But you and I know there was a sting in the tail,
For theirs is a club which is destined to fail.
Enter Scott MacDonald with an overhead kick,
Douglas is nowhere and Timmy is sick.
Their fans were despondant and looked to the skies,
But there was no solace there for their tear-stained eyes.
For a helicopter was approaching the ground,
But it sure wasn't landing, it was turning around.
Over on the touchline, O'Neill lost the plot,
Astonishingly brilliant, I think fcuking not!
Soon word reached Leith and the Rangers fans roared,
The players on the pitch knew that Motherwell had scored.
They kept possession, we awaited more news,
Tension gripped all of the red, white & blues.
Then two minutes later - a heart-warming sound,
Another eruption at our end of the ground.
2-1 to Motherwell and it had to be him,
MacDonald again, not bad for a Tim.
The final whistle sounded and the copter arrived,
This time it was landing with the SPL prize.
Strangers hugged strangers up and down the land,
As the words KEEP BELIEVING appeared in the stand
The singing began - " Cheer up Marty,
Come over to our place, we're having a party. "
And over at Ibrox, though minutes had passed,
A sea of red, white & blue had amassed.
Hundreds of bears lined Edmiston Drive,
The team bus arrived and the place came alive.
The party continued well into the night,
A reward for a season of courage and fight.
And I urge fellow bears to take heed of this rhyme,
As we find ourselves now in more difficult times.
Protest if you must at the current regime,
But unite on a Saturday and get behind the team.
When you're finding it hard to muster belief,
Think back to the day when the sun shone on Leith.
'Cos like the moon landings and JFK,
We'll always remember that Sunday in May.
The odds were against us but we won the race,
Let the others come after us, we welcome the chase.
Also Keano the Beano is out for two months. I know he will be drinking their money but they were quite shite with him in their team, plus he won't be coming to Ibrox.

Inverness today, if we win we move into 3rd place and catch points on the scum. Marvelous result yesterday, well done Dundee United.:D
In other news, Bazza's out with a broken nose. Big Marv kneed him in training, so he'l miss todays game although he was going to be rested anyways. I predit a 2-0 win today, Boyd, Lovenkrands.:cool:
I'm not so confident, our performances away from home have been appaling this season and Inverness CT seem to be our bogey team.
On a different note, did anyone see how shite we were on Soccer AM? Everyone fell flat on their arse apart from Dado who made a good attempt and a rserve player (Sam Woods?) who actually managed to do it.

Yeah, it was pretty shite to be honest. Big Marv decked it, so did wee Nacho. I expected Spongebob to hit it but he came no where near the bloody thing. It wasn't really a surprise that Dado was the only one that came close to hitting it, i thought Buffel would maybe of hit it but he didn't do it.
The halfway line was in tatters, when i was there last summer is was in perfect condition.:cool:

What you think of our bid on Derek Riordan? I think hes a good player and he can hit freekicks, something we have struggled with but the fact that McLeish is going for another striker? What does mean for Nacho Novo or Peter Lovenkrands?

I agree he is a decent striker but we dont need him.

I agree he is a decent striker but we dont need him.
He is too footed, apparently he can play on the left, where we need help. I think he would be a good asset along with Nigel Qua
