Football Talk: Rangers v SFA, Irish Messi, Kenny Miller’s new team

Scotland's 'Robbie Keane' has made his annual transfer, this time to Vancouver Whitecaps.SNS Group

Signing bans, threats of legal action it appears it is not safe to go back into the waters of Scottish football folks.

With less than three weeks until the SPL season kicks-off, Dundee have been promoted while Rangers await SFA membership to play in Division Three.

In most summer windows yesterday’s transfers would seem insignificant, but this year Monday counts as a frenzied day of activity with Fraser Fyvie and Kenny Miller moving on from their respective clubs.

Football Talk will shun comical mentions of Mounties, maple syrup, mooses, so we'll simply wish the Scotland striker all the best in the MLS.

Andreas Hinkel and John Yorkston both feel cheated for different reasons while a Bangor City striker is going head to head with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for a top prize.

Talking of the little Argentinean, Barcelona think they’ve found the Irish equivalent.
