RANGERS are expected to sign Gordon Durie from Spurs before the
weekend is over.
The Ibrox club are understood to have made their move to bring the
Scottish internationalist north after talks with the London club.
Ironically, Durie who has fallen out with Spurs manager Ossie Ardiles,
is recalled to play against Leeds today.
''All I know is that I am back in the team tomorrow,'' said Durie last
night. ''I know nothing about a move to Rangers and I have heard it so
often before that I prefer to wait and see what happens.''
The former Hibs and Chelsea player was fined by Ardiles, dropped, and
put on the transfer list after swearing at the Argentinian when he was
substituted during a Coca Cola Cup tie against Blackburn six weeks ago.
Capped 23 times for Scotland, the self-confessed Rangers supporter has
been training with the Spurs youth team and seemed unlikely to appear in
the top side again.
However, Ardiles insisted it was not a climb-down. ''I never said he
would not play for us again.''
Another well-known figure in Glasgow, Chic Charnley, will make his
return to Partick Thistle, where many people would say he played his
best football, against Kilmarnock at Firhill today.
Charnley has been signed by manager John Lambie for #30,000 from
Swedish club Djurgaarden after having fallen out with them and been out
of their side for the past seven weeks. Charnley has been training in
Scotland with Thistle and Lambie, who signed him for the club before as
well as taking him to Hamilton, is confident that the former ''bad boy''
can behave.
Charnley, who was released by both Clydebank and St Mirren -- he was
booked seven times and sent off four times with the Paisley team -- was
a favourite at Firhill.
Lambie is without midfield scorer Albert Craig, who has a broken
cheekbone, while Killie have Tom Brown suspended and injuries to George
McCluskey and Ally Mitchell.
