Yes, I've seen it in the flesh.

It's a light shade of royal blue with a white folding collar, similar to the 2010/11 umbro home shirt, but not the same material. It has the badge and puma logo in white, as well as the 32Red sponsor logo in white across the middle of the shirt. There are a couple of thin white lines running down the inner sides of the shirt and the only red element that I could see is a little touch on the collar, directly underneath where the button is. It has a similar look to the Italian world cup home shirt in many ways, but looks a little cheaper.

It's a pretty nice shirt, though I always prefer a Rangers home shirt to be a slightly darker shade of blue and I also like to see a striking bit of red on there as well, which this doesn't really have.

I'd give it a 6. 5/10.

I have been a season ticket holder at ibrox for many year and have seen mangers, players and boards come and go.

The one thing most of these people have in common is that they never loved rangers they only loved the cash they where being paid.

I have a huge amount of respect for SDM because the man was a rangers man who bank rolled the success we had. I know we couldn't afford it but I like many many other rangers supporters loved going to ibrox with the like of Gazza, Albertz, Ameruso and co on show.

But the problem was not these players or the the managers who brought them to the club it's was the board that's sanctioned them in the first place. Whether or not the EBT was correct or not it's put the club into the financial dilemma that it is in today.

Let's face it Craig Whyte was a crook who was only interested in the money he could take out of the club.

Charles green in my eyes was a good man the rescue the club but there is still some explaining to do with the way he passed out share options the the mugs he brought with him and don't get me started on bonus for these lunatics.

I will be returning to ibrox next season I am not one of these supporters who has followed dave king because in my opinion dave king like the rest who claimed they wanted to buy rangers on onterested in publicity. He claimed that he would invest millions in the club but where is the money dave all I see is u talking about millions aswell as how the current board are not rangers men if you want the club then either put up or shut up.

As for Graeme Wallace I think he could be the man to lead rangers as chief executive but someone who takes that amount of money for so called success is a disgrace what I would call success currently is not winning the league one title or even the challenge cup final, success would have been winning the scottish cup and not making financial losses those are successes

This was my first ever post on this site

Probably controversial but I don't think Craig Whyte actually took much money out of the club. He just didn't have enough of his own (or the banks) to support it in the way SDM had.

Charles Green, on the other hand, went in with the express purpose of making money

Bigchris, You make some interesting points and are open to discussion, but I would totally disagree that murray was a Ranger's man. He only ever seen us as a means to an end.
He certainly lifted our profile, but at what cost? I would say that his personal benefits far outweighed anything our club received.
The biggest factor I have against him is involving whyte, who was well known to be 'iffy'. He had always said he would only sell to the right people to take the us forward and to say he was 'duped' was a pathetic excuse for his actions.
The biggest investors will continue to be those wishing to make a couple of bob from their input and I will always be sceptical when the term 'Rangers people' is used. This type of person usually bases his/her decisions on profit.
Let's hope we have a good season, cheers mate.

StEddy if that rat whyte never took money out of rangers, then what did he do?

chris, the party view goes well enough till you mention Wallace,.why did you not mention his 100% bonus. also I think the royal bank of Scotland will be unhappy not getting a mention with Murrays bombscare economics. yes 12 million pounds for a man the Chelsea fans called snowdrop ,in every part of this mess Murray was told. he chose not to listen.what Rangers fan wants to buy Ayr unted anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

Steddy I think you'll find he did. he pocketed the jelavic money and the arsenal shares money. god knows how much he took as a wage.
But bad things happen to bad people.

Agree0 Disagree0

OP welcome to the site and I'm not going to burden you with my opinions which differ from your own but at the end of the day if RFC weren't in debt to Lloyds bank they could not have forced the sale to Billy Liar. Now only one man ran up that debt and that was David Murray who I believe was originally an Ayr United fan although rugby was his first love.
But let's all hope G Wallace is the right man for the job. Initial report card would have to say "room for improvement" though with a perceived penchant for occasional economy with the truth- "we have enough money to last until the end of the season" "the club are in a very strong position financially"- really? I hope you are correct Mr G Wallace

@5. I know that is the consensus BigCol but I think that money was used in the same way as the unpaid taxes; runing costs just to get to February. I don't think there is any proof that he pocketed the Arsenal or Jelavic money. On the Jelavic money there was not very much anyway, as it has only recently had the last payment received, not counting the sell on fee. CW is a convenient (and not entirely unjustified) scapegoat for SDM

Big chris I agree bears are qick to point the finger at sdm but he managed the best spell the club ever had or are likely to have a real roller coaster ride u were deperate to get to ibrox on asaturday sitting watching u e fa draws to book flights etc even when put under pressure by banks he stil signed good players s davis jelavic mcculloch etc in his last year we did well then whyte came in after pressure by the banks then green but I would not blame green for everthing he was the only man that took a punt without him god knows where we would have ended up allright he went into it to make money the same as fergus mccann he said that but remember all the rest wanted to make money also but never put there hand in their pocket

Agree0 Disagree0

Wull61, We agree on lots of the subjects discussed but your perception of murray's involvement in our demise has no logic. He is not the person you seem to think. His motives, solely, revolve around his status and wealth with no concern for anything[one] else.

Agree0 Disagree0

Billy b that's not correct I knew the man I also lost £40k on rangers bonds but I still have a lot of respect for him if he had been allowed to carry on we would not be in this pickle to day everything came at wrong time for him declining property prices and down turn in steel and nervous banks

Agree0 Disagree0

Wull61, I had dealings with him in the past, so let's just agree to differ on him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Big chris I just about agree with your op post the part ime not sure on is mr wallace I think with his cv he could have done us a turn but I think he blew it by accepting the 100 pc bonus making me think he is a grredy man and maybe his plan was for a short stay either way I think he has blew it by taking the bonus
