Good morning fellow bears, let's hope today is the day we end up back where we belong, personally I've enjoyed the journey through the lower leagues, it's been a change visiting grounds I've not been to and making new memories along the way. Along that road we as fans have created new records for attendances not just at Ibrox but for the smaller clubs of Scotland and we have made lots of new friends. All across the country we were the only show in town, although I was born in England, by dad was Scottish and from the moment I could walk and talk I've always been a Ranger and will be to the day I die, but I've never been more proud to be one than seeing the way the fans have stuck by this great club, Rangers needed us and we rallied, each and every one of you deserves a huge pat on the back, i know you will all be as proud as I am. I would also like to give a mention to our captain Lee Wallace, " thank you lee you have shown what it is to be a true Glasgow Rangers captain". Let's all continue to enjoy the journey Then, Now, and Forever.

I agree with everything you have said English Bear. People can laugh all they want but it has been a fantastic journey. Last year was hard to take but it's worked out for the best, we ended up with the management team and board we need to take us forward.
The fans have been out of this world with their support and I honestly don't think there is another team on the planet with fans as loyal. Other teams may claim it but we have proved it.
Somebody laughed at me for saying Lee Wallace is a legend in the making but I stand by that comment. And when he lifts 55 he will have cemented that fact.

Hi ed and fellow bears.
Could you help with a question I have. Please excuse my ignorance for not knowing the answer. If Rangers got to the Scottish cup final this year against Celtic and lost and Celtic won the league so qualified for champions league, would Rangers get a European spot themselves as cup runners up, i know that used to be the case, but I'm really not sure if it still is. hopefully we get to cup final and win it. thanks.
{Ed001's Note - I am not sure, I know in England it is winners only and it just goes to the next highest placed team, but not sure if that is a UEFA ruling or just for England.}

Thanks ed.
{Ed001's Note - sorry I can't help more mate.}

It is possible for the Scottish Cup winners to have already qualified for a UEFA competition through their league ranking in the Scottish Premiership. In this scenario the qualification spot passes to the highest ranked team in that competition not yet qualified, rather than to the Scottish Cup runners-up. [19][20] Until 2014, the Scottish Cup runners-up qualified for European competition if the cup winners had also qualified for the Champions League. [20]
hope this answers your question mate.

English Bear, I'm sure I read somewhere that for Rangers to qualify for Europe, this season, they must win the cup.
Again, I'm not 100%, but I'm sure someone on here will be able to clarify.
4.) 02 Mar 2016 15:15:50
Yeah I think we need to win it. I'm sure if Celtic win it already having qualified for the champions league the place allocated to Scottish cup winners goes to the 4th place team in the league.

Thanks all for your replies, here's hoping we lift the cup this year, i love going on European trips with Rangers.

deecee. nice one, and Scottish football always has and always will need us, the amount of media attention around Rangers has been massive today. I don't know what it's like up in Scotland but more or less every radio station down here has been running on us being promoted, we have took our punishment and we are now proudly back where we belong, a great exciting time to be a bear. keep enjoying.

Deecee, you don't know how old I am so drop that one. The first words you came out with last night were "rank rotten"a great statement after our team had just won the league, i and every other Rangers fan knows we need to step up a gear and changes need to be made, but more importantly so does MW, i don't care how we won the league I'm just glad we did and I've enjoyed the football more this season, after the sh@t we watched last year. I've followed Rangers all over Europe mate and I travel up from the wirral once or twice a month with a few other's to Ibrox or away games, so I know what I'm talking about. However I do agree with you that it is just the beginning and I believe it will be the beginning of something special, I'm not going to say we will win the spl next season but with a few more added to the team we won't be far off, so let's just continue to enjoy the journey, I'm sure it will be a good one.

The worst post I've ever seen on here, unbelievable I cannot believe you have just come out with that as the club you say you love has just won a league. Don't you think for one minute that MW doesn't know what's needed for next season. Rangers don't need fans like you.

I'm not against the idea of banners pal, I've had some good laughs at banners over the years I actually like them at football games, i just think we will be under the spotlight more than any other club next season and as 11ofthebest has said the sfa is run by Celtic and by Rangers haters. By all means get the banners flying high as long as we don't give anyone else any excuses to have a pop at us.

Why don't we just concentrate on Rangers, we are bigger and better than that, some people throughout the game have had a lot of pleasure seeing us at the bottom, and some would have liked to see our club die, but hey we are still here. As a club and fans we have took our punishment with dignity, we have all stuck together and now were back with our heads held high, that will stick in the throat of many, rather than some banner. TOGETHER WE ARE RANGERS.
