UFO Info Week-End

I’ve had a brief word with him and we will talk again this

“I’ve had a brief word with him and we will talk again this week,” the chairman said. “Everything was being left because we wanted to concentrate on the Cup final.”The French striker, David Zitelli, has declared his interest in joining the Ibrox club. The former Everton player admitted that a return to his native Yorkshire was likely.
McCall said: “Losing the final and the league has soured it for a lot of us but I don’t think we could have done any more against Hearts, it just wasn’t meant to be. It was a really sad way to end it all and I think it’s probably time for me to call it a day at Rangers now.”Nothing is organised and we’ll see what Dick Advocaat says but I think the time is right now.

Everyone else is leaving and it feels right that I should move on too.”McCall has already been linked with a possible player-coach’s role at Barnsley, although he is one of a number of players who will speak with the Ibrox chairman, David Murray, this week before deciding his future. Ally McCoist – whose late goal in Saturday’s final after coming off the bench showed his goalscoring instincts are still intact – is another.Despite the player’s protestations that he is on his way out of Ibrox, Murray insisted that McCoist has come to no firm decisions yet on where his future lies. The 33-year-old midfielder still has a year left on his contract – but has yet to learn whether he is part of the future plans of the incoming Dutch coach Dick Advocaat. McCall was distraught after Saturday’s Tennents Scottish Cup final defeat to Hearts – a last bow in a blue shirt for half-a-dozen Rangers men, including Brian Laudrup, Richard Gough and Andy Goram. “There was no mention by the IRB of our expulsion.” Dick McGruther, the chief executive of the Australian Rugby Union and a trenchant critic of the RFU’s doveish behaviour, agreed. “Penalties against England were not even discussed,” he said.. THE Rangers stalwart Stuart McCall has admitted he could join the Ibrox exodus this summer, after ending a season without a medal for the first time in seven years.

I was delighted when the club secured the title at Harlequins on Sunday,” he said “I do feel I’ve lost valuable time, though. You need to be playing regularly and that hasn’t been the situation with me since last October. The England call- up has come as a real bonus because my lack of rugby left a big doubt in my mind.”Self-doubt is hardly one of Thomas Castaignede’s more obvious traits and yesterday the confident French stand-off picked up the European Player of the Year accolade along with an pounds 8,000 cheque. Having led England up the garden path and single-handedly reduced Wales to a laughing stock in the space of four Five Nations matches, he was the obvious choice for the inaugural Heineken award.Intriguingly, Castaignede did appear to be in two minds as to his immediate future when he collected his prize in London. “Three English clubs have approached me since the Five Nations,” he said.
