Rangers 2 : 2 Dundee United

I've deliberately not commented on Paul Le Guen and Rangers as it's going to take time for it all to start to gel. But a 2:2 draw, at home to the worst side in the SPL, harks back to the darkest days of Ecks reign and underlines the size of the task ahead of him.

Le Guen comes with a big reputation and a certain puzzlement from the French press as to why he'd want to come to Rangers at all but he obviously has his reasons. He has impressed me with his no nonsense approach, he's obviously not going to suffer fools gladly (ask Ricksen) and expects the players to perform. I expect Bazza "Fud" Ferguson's arse is twitching as he must perform to the highest level of his ability if he's to get into the team and retain the captaincy, time will tell.

A good run in the UEFA Cup and strong showing in the SPL will hopefully allow him to settle in for the long haul. What I really want to see is some real progress from the youth side of the operation. They have the chance to work with one of the most sought after young coaches in Europe and must raise themselves to break into the first team allowing Le Guen to show the highly paid numpties the door. Ricksen is the first but he won't be the last. The gravy train is over, time to play for the glory of the 'Gers.

Note: In the interest of community relations the word "hello" has been removed from this post. Big wave to the deviant hordes *UEFA approved description*. Canny wait to read Gerry McNee's latest dribbling, rabid rantings. "Hello" Gerry, whoops.
