Rangers' potential saviour The Blue Knights seems to be one guy - or at least there's only one guy prepared to give his name. I suppose being "The Blue Knights" sounds better than being "that guy Murray who was on the board that ran them into the ground".

Boy could the Canaries do with a bit of creativity as currently Wes Hoolahan is the only player with even a smidge of imagination between his ears at Carrow Road.
