TORONTO - Scott Milanovich wasnt mincing words Thursday.The Toronto head coach said if the Argonauts want to finish atop the East Division, they must beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night.We do recognize how important this is towards positioning, Milanovich said. If we want to win the East, theoretically we have to win this one.Technically its not over (if the Argos lose) but were looking at this like its a playoff game.Toronto (5-8) hosts Hamilton (6-7) at Rogers Centre after the Ticats won the first meeting 13-12 on Sept. 1 at Tim Hortons Field. A win would move the Argos into a first-place tie and even the season series 1-1 with the final meeting slated for Oct. 25 at Rogers Centre.Hamilton would not only clinch the season series with a victory but move four points ahead of Toronto with both having four regular-season games remaining. The first-place finisher secures home-field advantage for the East final.That would work well for the surging Ticats, whove won four straight and are 4-0 at Tim Hortons Field.A loss Friday wouldnt be devastating for Hamilton, which also has two games with Ottawa (2-11) and another with Montreal (5-8) remaining. The Ticats would still control their ability to finish first. Toronto wouldnt so fortunate as a loss Friday would mean theyd need help to finish first. The Argos would have to shift their focus on second spot — and getting home field for the East semifinal — with two key meetings left with Montreal, which also remains very much in the playoff picture.I dont think Toronto is any different than us or Montreal in that regard, Ticats head coach/GM Kent Austin said. You want to have Eastern games towards the end of your schedule to determine the outcome of where youre going to finish.Toronto has won two straight but faces a Hamilton squad thats captured five of its last six contests since quarterback Zach Collaross return. Collaros missed five starts with concussion-like symptoms and returned to lead the Ticats past the Argos 13-12 to officially open Tim Hortons Field.Collaros has four 300-yard passing games since returning and taken Hamiltons on its longest win streak since 98. But thats of no surprise to the Argos as Collaros was 5-2 last year as their starter before signing with the Ticats as a free agent.Hes a winner, hes competitive, he doesnt get rattled, he can move the ball with his arm or his legs, Milanovich said of Collaros. Our guys have a lot of respect for him.Collaros said winning has helped breed confidence within Hamiltons ranks.Weve always been a confident bunch but learning how to win the tight ones definitely does something for the locker-room, he said. Were excited for the opportunity and task at hand.Hamiltons defence has also contributed to the win streak, allowing an average of just 232 yet offensive yards the last six games. The unit is also surrendering just 17.3 points per game over that span and has held its last three opponents under 60 yards rushing.Weve done a great job of keeping teams out of the end zone but weve got a real challenge ahead of us because Toronto can score, Austin said. Weve also done a better job in getting pressure on the quarterback . . . but its not just the sacks, its the hurries and the hits on the quarterback that have been important.Every offensive unit wants to stay out of second-and-long . . . its very tough to convert second-and-long yardage consistently, well enough to sustain drives and score points. Part of the equation of getting teams into second-and-long situations is stopping the run on first and 10.A fact not lost upon Milanovich.The No. 1 thing in my opinion is theyre stopping the run and making you one-dimensional, he said. Theyre getting you into a situation where you dont feel you can run it and youre kind of where they want you where now theyre going to come after the quarterback and try to attack the protection.Toronto counters with veteran quarterback Ricky Ray, who leads the CFL in passing TDs (24) and completion percentage. The Argos will also have slotback Chad Owens in the lineup after he missed the first meeting with a knee injury.Owens leads the CFL in both receiving yards (109) and catches (8.7) per game. Torontos offence has also averaged 35.3 points, 389 net yards and 121 yards rushing the past three games but Ray said having Owens back is key.Hes our best player on offence when hes in there, Ray said. He makes so many plays and thats who youd like to have, a guy whos going to go out there and give you consistent production and will make some plays for you.Fridays contest will also feature two of the CFLs top kickers in Torontos Swayze Waters (33-of-37 field goals, 89.2 per cent) and Hamiltons Justin Medlock (33-of-38, 86.8 per cent).Waters 53-yard boot in a 40-23 road win last month over B.C. is the CFLs longest this year but Milanovich said Waters could better that Friday if conditions are right.The one in B.C. was 53 yards and someone told me it was caught 15 yards deep in the end zone, he said. I know that doesnt necessarily translate that it could go 15 more yards but I would guess if he hit it well, he could get 65. Phil Niekro Braves Jersey .

Ted Ligety, Mikaela Shiffrin, Bode Miller and Tim Jitloff underlined the squads enormous potential on the Rettenbach glacier in Austria.Mark Warburton wants to add two more players to his Rangers squad this summer, with a striker and a central defender his prime targets. The Ibrox boss has lost eight of last seasons Championship-winning pool and brought in a mix of youth and experience as he has recruited nine new faces.While Joey Barton and Niko Kranjcar are expected to be mainstays of his new-look team, youngsters such as Joe Dodoo, Josh Windass and Jordan Rossiter are expected to contribute too. A number of rumours have circulated on social media this week ahead of Rangers first Premiership game next weekend at home to Hamilton, a game you can see live on Sky Sports.Warburton has dampened those by insisting the identity of his targets has not yet been discussed. Jordan Rossiter is one of the young players expected to impress at Ibrox this season He told the official Rangers website: We have a number of targets, none of which are on Twitter and none of which have been released.We would like another striking option and another defensive option in an ideal world but they have to be players who add value on and off the pitch and thats really strong.This will only happen if the players we want are available. We are working on it but its a decreasing talent pool. Frank McParland (Rangers head of recruitment) and his team are working tirelessly.One of those Rangers have been linked with is Fenerbahces former Arsenal and Manchester United striker Robin van Persie.There was so much backing for the move with Sky Bet overnight that the bookmaker was forced to close the market on the Dutchman moving to Scotland.Warburton is adamant no attempt has been made to bring him in though and said: Ive woken up to a barrage of text messages and missed calls saying apparently the deal has been done.dddddddddddd Fenerbahce striker Robin van Persie has been linked with Rangers but Mark Warburton has not moved for him Everyone knew about it apart from anyone at Rangers Football Club. I have never had so many text messages about a player. Ive no idea where this rumour has emanated from - out of our pay league is a fair comment.Hes an unbelievably talented player but theres absolutely nothing in it whatsoever. Im bemused to hear we are 2/1 on and bettings suspended.There is no truth in the story and there is no substance behind it. Theres not ev
