Prematch Analysis: Rangers vs. Dundee United Saturday, 04 February 2012 12:21 Written by djw1992

Sunday 5th February, 12.15PM, Ibrox Stadium. 

As temperatures plunge across the country, the SPL pauses this weekend to make way for the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.  After last month's outing in Arbroath, this round's opposition take the form of fellow top flight outfit, Dundee United.  This will be the third time the sides have met this season, with Rangers taking the spoils on the previous two occasions.

Indeed, the champions find themselves on a run of pretty decent form at the moment, winning four of their past five games, which is the club's best run of form since October.  Last week's 4-0 thrashing of Hibs at Ibrox was the particular highlight, a victory made all the more retrospectively pleasing considering it was done without the help of Nikica Jelavic, who left this week for Everton in a £5.5m deal.

'If he's not scoring, he doesn't do anything.'
'Outside of the box, he's useless.'

For once, the player that the above statements could be applied to is not the SPL's all-time leading goalscorer Kris Boyd, but our only fit striker, David Healy.

"If you look for an excuse, you will always find it."

Perhaps it would be a wise move for everyone concerned with Rangers at the moment to heed these words spoken by none other than recently departed captain Davie Weir. It's not as if the centre back doesn't know what he's talking about; after twenty years of experience in British football, Weir has seen it all, from the World Cup to the Champions League. He spoke these aforementioned words in September, but they are arguably more applicable now than ever.

Transfer Window Review: January 2012 Wednesday, 01 February 2012 16:30 Written by croatianbicycles

Love it or hate it, the January transfer window always guarantees drama.

It’s obvious where I start: the sale of star striker Nikica Jelavic on deadline day. Jelavic moved to Everton for an undisclosed fee, a move which he believes to be the next stepping stone in his career. When Nikica signed for the club, he stated that he was using the club as a stepping stone to showcase his talent in front of the prying eyes of the English Premier League. Ultimately that’s why he left; he wanted to compete in one of the world’s top leagues.

With his intentions known from the beginning (unlike some recent players…), Jelavic leaves with the best wishes of a majority of the fans.
