dont know about this, as the source is the daily rebel. We need to bring a few decent bodies in,Quickly tho.



Rangers have allegedly voiced an interest in taking veteran Stoke striker James Beattie to Ibrox, according to the Daily Record.

Gers manager Walter Smith has already had talks with the Stoke hierarchy as he looks to add to his meagre first team squad. The Scottish champions are - for want of as better word - skint, and would need to negotiate carefully to get the £1.5 million asking price down and convince Beattie to take a cut in his £35,000-a-week wages.

However, the Daily Record suggests one way around the financial constraints for Rangers would be to take Beattie on a season long loan and paying half his wages.

He's a bit of a fatty but if Celtic signed him I'd be reasonably pleased. His wages might scupper it.

I think his wages and his tendancy to be a it of a wanker around the dressing room also make me wary of this signing but if he can do the business then why not.

This rumour seems to have died a death.

Look's to be a deal on the cards. Stoke have accepted a £1.5 m offer from Gers, and Beattie is due for talks at Ibrox today.

if he is fit
then he is a good player

but most of the time he is in a bupa clinic

Scored more prem goal's than Ronaldo, & Drogba.

If he can score the goals then what the hell but if he sits and sulks on the bench then get himout to ****.

He's played 124 games more than Ronaldo right enough.

Dont be getting technical. If he even bag's one against celtic, we will no doubt think him better than ronaldo ever could be.

He's fatter than Ronaldo. The Brazilian one that is. Seriously though, I'd say Jelavic is a better bet than Beattie.

Agree. Tho i think the wide position's need addressing more, than up front.Dont know how much money is available. But, over 4 mil on a striker seems a lot, in the Gers financial situation.

Rangers have signed James Beattie on a two-year contract, with an option for a third, from Stoke City for an undisclosed fee," a statement on the club's website confirmed.

Hes in the squad for the killie game tomorrow.
