This is the Freeola League.

Simple to do and should provide some friendly competition. The only real rules you need to know are that you can only have 3 players from any one team and you can make one free transfer a week, if you want to make more it will cost you 4 points per transfer!

Have fun and look forward to seeing you on there

Starting the season with a bang! Hope you can all get some guesses in quick!

Well it wouldn't be stupid to bet on him being near the top of the top scorer list at the end of the SPL season. He was dreadful in the Premiership, but he's going to be putting them away easily playing for one of the big two in the SPL. That is unless he gets injured *touch wood*

Rangers are in no position to offer anyone an attractive contract but sign him they have... the first signing in 2 years!

I think of him as player who had a high profile but never lived up to it but he should be more than capable of scoring against SPL defences. And to be fair to him, he must be taking about a 50% pay cut so it's nice to see it's not all money for some players.

I don't think Beattie will have the right to demand high wages. He's played for average/aweful clubs for the past 15 years, he only managed to break into the national team once, and it was an extremely short spell, mixed with the fact he's 32, I think Rangers should hold fire before offering him an extravagant contract. Still, he'd easily be an above average SPL player.

Reports today suggest that James Beattie will be at Ibrox for talks. Not sure what to make of that, I imagine he will want a big salary but is he worth it for a club that need to count the pennies?

I think Stevie G needs a drug test before he starts the season, there's optimism, and then there's plain stupid.

Stevie Druggard?

Apparently I can't post the universal 'cheering' symbol and this forums doesn't accept forward slashes :( Needless to say I am pleased with this post DL!

Also, I knew WH would come out the woodwork with a 'bait post' like that :)
