CRAIG MOORE watched from the bench as Australia defeated New Zealand 2-0 in their Oceania World Cup play-off, and said he was looking forward to the season ahead now that he is fully fit.
The defender, who was out through injury for much of last season, said: ''Obviously, last year was not good for either myself or Rangers. Now I'm fit again, I'm really looking forward to going back and helping Rangers regain the title.
''Also, I'm looking forward to competing and doing well in European competition, and progressing further in the Champions League.''
lCeltic have confirmed two pre-season friendlies - against QPR at Loftus Road on July 14 and Sunderland on July 24.
lNewcastle United are set for a return to European football for the first time in almost three years, having been handed a slot in the Intertoto Cup, following the withdrawal of Malaga. Newcastle will join the competition in the third round, with ties to be played on July 14/15 and July 21.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
