It looks like he's also taking Varga and Wallace from Celtic for �800k. Suprised there's a fee at all.

suprised at Miller and Connolly's inclusion as both are lazy, average players. Maybe he fancies a challenge

As I said yesterday the board should get credit for the business they did this week.

Rangers release 4 players inc Olivier Bernard to get them off the wage bill and Celtic get potentially �1m for 2 reserve players.

Rangers released the players at the last minute to help the players because they knew that if released they could find new clubs outside the transfer window.

....err yeah ok and the fact they wanted them off their wage bill only had a tiny little part in it.

Sunderland 3 - 0 up against Leeds at Elland Road.

Miller, Kavanagh and Eliott have all scored.

Maybe Kenny Cunningham might bang one in before the night is out !

good to see all three scoring especially Miller and Eliott. A lot of irish players on the pitch tonight (8 started)
