I'm not too surprised about this, to be honest. Rangers are no longer a threat to Celtic in the SPL and that coupled with his decision to strip Barry Ferguson of the captaincy and then to drop him was the final straw. It's another case of the player being bigger than the club!!

foolish and short sighted of Rangers to allow ferguson to be victorious in this clash.They should ask Real Madrid about how much success a team gets when the players run the dressing room-and at least at RM we were talking top players,not a never-was-been like Barry Ferguson who couldnt even hack it at the heady heights of Blackburn.As a non-rangers fan,however,the current situation at Castle Greyskull(which makes Hearts look like the epitome of prudent management) will no doubt provide me with much hilarity in the months to come,especially when the media end their current love affair with Smith/mccoist and start taking potshots at them

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!! Why Paul, Why ?!?!?!
