Buffel Buffel Buffel

At long last the manager started a game with Buffel on the pitch. This game was too important and Buffel was bent on getting behind the Rangers team. This victory means that Rangers get into the group stages of the UEFA Cup.

The man of the match was officially Allan McGregor but my man of the match was Mr Buffel. Fair enough the keeper had to make four point-blank saves but Buffel was brilliant, just brilliant. In fact he was the boy to give Rangers joy with some great ball play and he stroked home an early goal to release some Rangers player's pressure.

Rangers central defenders are still getting to know each other, with Julien Rodriguez and Brahim Hemdani looking like they need someone to take them in hand, maybe Mr Buffel.

The Buffel goal came from some goal ball play between Dado Prso 's and Steven Smith. They got the ball to Buffel whose brilliant touch slipped the ball in at the near post.

Molde then toook control and hd some great chances, somehow an unmarked Baldvinsson managed to head wide from six yards and McGregor had a finger-tip save from a Magne Hoseth header.

But not to worry as Mr Buffel was on his game. Libor Sionko controlled a pass from young Smith and he passed to Kris Boyd who backheeled the ball to Ferguson, who shot into the net.

Molde still kept coming but when Hoseth outpaced Hemdani McGregor came to Rangers' rescue. He then had another great save from Baldvinsson as Buffel was controlling the game in the middle of the park.


At the final whistle you could see the relief on the faces of the Rangers players. Glad to see Buffel still on the park and off they trotted with a smile on their face for a well deserved bath together.
