The Dutch striker, voted the league's player of the year last season, will travel to Manchester on Thursday to discuss personal terms and complete a medical ahead of the proposed move to Old Trafford.

No financial details were immediately available from the clubs. Media reports said United would pay 24 million pounds ($37.67 million) for Van Persie who is poised to sign a four-year contract with them.

The rumour is three 14-team divisions next year, which would mean the SPL and SFL merging to avoid an SPL meltdown. Rangers should win div 3 this season, and would be in the second 14-team division for 2013-14.

They’d win that and be back in the top flight in 2014-15. And win that. And be back in Europe in 2015-16. Which is when their (financial) European ban ends anyway.

They can have Van Persie, I’ll take Fellaini. (Putting on my Fellaini wig as we speak)

I am a lifelong Rangers fan.

I am a lifelong supporter of my local team. We all have our crosses to bear.
