WALTER SMITH was last night battling to bring in a loan signing to boost RangersÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆââ¬Â âââ‰â¢ÃÆÃââââ¬à ¡ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃââÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃââÃÆÃâÃââÃÆââââ¬à ¡ÃâìÃÆââ¬Â¦ÃâáÃÆÃââââ¬à ¡ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâìÃÆÃâÃâ ââ¬â¢ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃââÃÆÃâÃââÃÆââââ¬à ¡ÃâìÃÆââ¬Â¦ÃâþÃÆÃââââ¬à ¡ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãââ Treble hopes. The departures of Pedro Mendes and Jerome Rothen have freed up cash to allow the Scottish champions to bring in a new face. It is understood they have looked at bringing Manchester City midfielder Martin Petrov to Ibrox in what would be a sensational move.

Although 31-year-old Petrov was unhappy under Mark Hughes, he returned to favour after the appointment of Roberto Mancini. His contract is up in the summer, however, and Smith is not giving up hope.

If Rangers can afford half that for 6 months then they should be offering that money to Kris Boyd, not a loan signing. Paper talk that's all.
Load of ****e. A couple of non-starter stories with us being linked with unrealistic targets in an attempt to convince supporters everythings all good. By the end of today it will be, "We just didnt have the time." or "The deal fell through at the last minute." As long as nobody leaves the club before 5pm tonight I'll be happy.
