Madjid Bougherra to Expose Transfer Loophole and Leave Rangers Under FIFA's "Webster Ruling"
Five years after benefiting from the "Webster ruling," Rangers look set to lose out on one of their star players after Madjid Bougherra signalled that he wants to leave the SPL champions.
It is widely believed that the Algerian defender, a signing from Charlton in 2008 for £2.5 million, has told the club that he will not only will turn down their recent contract extension offer but that he will now most likely invoke Article 17 of the FIFA transfers and contracts rulebook if he is not sold. Under the ruling players over the age of 28 can buy out the remaining years of their contract, regardless of length.

James McCarthy Signs for Wigan: How Did the Latics Tempt the Prodigy?
Ireland U-21 international, James McCarthy has chosen to join Roberto Martinez's revolution at Wigan. He signed on the dotted line after Hamilton Academical's and the Latics agreed upon a fee which could rise to £3 million.
Martinez had pin pointed the youngster as one of his primary targets right from the moment he took over for Steve Bruce, who moved to Sunderland. With a large hole left in central midfield following Wilson Palacios' move to Tottenham Hotspur, the new Latics manager moved quickly to bring in one of the most sought after young talents in Britain.

Profiles of the Great and Good: The Killie Pie, Once Tasted, Never Forgotten
Kilmarnock came from behind to defeat derby rivals Ayr United 3-1, despite being reduced to 10 men in their Scottish Cup match last night. And while almost 12,000 fans packed into Rugby Park, the big winners of the tie were Brownings Bakers.
You see, Brownings make the world famous "Killie Pie." And it's not just any pie, the halftime delicacy is so good that even away fans can't come to Rugby Park without tasting one of its delights. On an average Saturday, Brownings can expect to sell some 7,000 to 8,000 pies. Considering the average crowd hits around 10,000, these sales figure are massive.
But what's so special about the Killie Pie? Well, for a start it tastes incredible, and that's not just my opinion. You see the Killie Pie is a steak pie, and it's actually made of steak, and not the usual offal that you find in pies around the grounds of football stadiums up and down Britain...
