Just lost my step Dad due to Covid. I've not seen him in 4 years and didn't have a dad relationship with him but still sad. This is just a heads up. Please take this Covid seriously. My sister is a nurse and as far as i'm concerned a hero for volunteering to help in a covid ward, I really worry now. I am critical worker myself although feel uncomfortable being in the same category as my big sis. PLEASE look out for each other and take this seriously.

01 May 2020 21:22:51
Rangers to reveal evidence next week to all clubs. Just thinkin to myself that, the club's that were bullied or coerced into voting the spfls way, surely won't want the evidence produced. It'll show them to be weak and bowing before their Celtic masters and being participants and complying with the corruption. A few quid here, a few high payin friendlies there and boom, we'll say agree to whatever you say Mr liewell.

I read lots of forums of the other teams. They don't think there's any conspiracy going on. They just don't want to admit that they're happy living off the old firms money. A max of 1000 fans to away games. Possible. Maybe less. Buy nothing whilst we're there. A must. Starve them. Some on here say that we have to protect the Scottish League. Rubbish. They threw us to the third division without blinkin. They all hate us. We don't care. I say, organise a massive glamour friendly with Stranraer, for example. Sometime. Show that we support those who support us or our ideas. The lower leagues shouldn't have been called . Scumdee united shouldn't have been promoted. Everything going on is against us. Referees admitting mistakes after finals. Our players getting smashed. Offside goals allowed. Trophies robbed. Blatant fourth officials not calling red cards. The worst is that they admitted their mistakes. The way things are at the moment, to me, shows that every team and almost all officials in scotland, will try and hamper or impede our chances of winning silverware. Also, chuck ojo. He's rubbish.

01 May 2020 22:05:22
Rossco3001, a very accurate post my friend. It's a real shame that others have hatred for our famous club. Why is that? What is the real reason? Your right they couldn't wait for us to be relegated but we we were never praised for financially helping the teams as we went through the leagues. We only received criticism. So we better get used to it lads because that's what its always been like and that's the way it'll always be.

02 May 2020 01:39:58
Honestly are you guys for real? You believe that almost ever club in the country are against you? What evidence do you have that Celtic are their “masters”.

I have asked the same question over and over again for the last few days but no one on here has given any written proof of any involvement by Celtic in this alleged “ corruption” or “ cheating”.

Please just prove it or stop winding winding each other into an unnecessary frenzy.

02 May 2020 08:23:54
Well mmr, I suppose part of it has to do with doncaster phoning peter after (or was it during) the debacle that was the dundee vote.
Tell me do you honestly think there was nothing wrong with the way that vote was conducted, you really think that that was a text book vote without even a hint that things might not be seen as completely fair by some teams? If you do then there is the problem right there, nothing to see here because it benefits my team.

02 May 2020 08:21:43
Rossco, i done a bigish post about this very thing in december mate, loads disagreed with me, but some are starting to see the light, so to speak, lol.

02 May 2020 08:42:58
this set up has been played out before and unless criminal wrongdoing can be prosecuted, it will carry on to its fruition. with maybe a couple of resignations. the only way forward is to rest control from the softcore mafia.

02 May 2020 10:49:25
No one here has evidence mojo- as the club hold it and say they are releasing next week. Pretty sure that is being made clear in the media 🤔 you sound sound more and more daft repeating the same question over and over. For what it's worth I don't believe in a conspiracy of all clubs against us. To Ross' point and as I said earlier in the week, clubs are happy living off whatever little they can and won't speak up. Therefore I endorse the whole boycott/ limit away grounds. People say it disadvantages the team- not much of an advantage for the likes of livi, Killie if the crowd overall is lucky to get above a couple thousand without us filling their tinpot stadiums.

02 May 2020 14:38:00
I completely agree that the voting was a shambles and that the whole loan/ advance thing is a farce however we’re I do disagree is that it is being done solely to help Celtic. I think they just want the season over and to start again afresh next year but missed it up. Thanks for engaging in a conversation Snell. I appreciate it.

02 May 2020 15:06:36
And I believe in an investigation not as the main driver being behind a conspiracy, just to highlight and address utter ineptitude and lack of accountability. Doncaster on 400k is embarrassing! Even if Gers pushing is for their own agenda, if the greater good comes out of it we need to make it happen. Look at the black lives matter movement last year, Nike ran with it and made a mint off it. If their greed opens it to more people's eyes then so be it, it's worthwhile (not that I'm comparing the two at all, just an analogy! )

03 May 2020 09:39:26
For we shall be mastered by no one
and should fight to make sure we are not being unfortunately treated.

01 May 2020 14:26:08
This lockdown has changed a lot of peoples perspective to life, our new Celtic supporting neighbours, who we haven't really spoken to yet, have ask if we want a water fight, as a kind of get to know each other and because of the good weather, question is, while the kettles boiling, should I? . 🤔🤔just kidding 😂😂.

02 May 2020 08:28:08
Lmao😂🤣.

02 May 2020 08:22:42
William king, as long as you mind to put the sugar in it, cool. lol. 😜.

02 May 2020 08:32:48
They've got to get a wash somehow.

01 May 2020 15:17:19
When is a vote not a vote? When dundee cast it and its lost in spam, if that is the case then there first vote is the one that should be counted, has anyone reading this ever been able to change there vote in an election after its been cast, now that's before our board release any more, its a national disgrace, go for the jugular parkie, give them both barrels,

01 May 2020 17:16:30
Hope there not blanks lol.

01 May 2020 19:49:03
This is not the first time they have pulled this stunt so there can be no excuses. also, Rod Petrie is unedifying. hows he no noticed?

02 May 2020 08:23:04
Eric, can change from no to yes, but not yes to know, what kind of vote is this, its a pure crazy vote rule surely, I've never in all my life heard of voting rules like them ever in my lifetime, made up and they go along imo.

01 May 2020 13:24:13
Is someone taking the piss. Us season ticket holders are getting a 25 quid voucher to spend at Ibrox as we will not see anymore games. This is laughable. The least I would have expected was for 1/4 off of next season's season tickets as this one was not fulfilled.

Every club in Scotland are offering refunds and we are doing this. The team were a bunch of Jokers after the winter break. I am absolutely raging. This is the biggest load of crap I have seen. We will get slaughtered the Manks will be giving us full belters on this. Robertson makes us all look like fools.

01 May 2020 13:55:40
Blue yonder. We always knew terms and conditions, u have option not to buy.

01 May 2020 13:59:32
Dont renew then by2020 its as simple as that. IF, and it is an IF, their season tickets are 25% cheaper for next season then good on them but perhaps you have misunderstood our financial position at this moment in time. Are other teams really offering refunds?

01 May 2020 14:18:41
BBY, did you get a refund on your East end ticket then?

01 May 2020 14:20:20
Blue Yonder, so let me get this clear you want your money back because of this virus? This isn’t a holiday you have booked, we are talking about our club and it’s future.

01 May 2020 14:29:13
no he booked a mythical tour of japan just like the last crisis.

01 May 2020 14:36:52
best not to renew then if your nose has been put out of place
we need to back our team every step of the way
follow follow.

01 May 2020 17:10:28
Everyone's situation is different and can't just waive money goodbye.

01 May 2020 17:12:46
Dont make people feel guilty about their situation. Yes the club needs money but some peoples family needs the money too. If you are paying hundreds then you are entitled to an opinion.

01 May 2020 17:29:02
C_of_ibrox. the fellow never mentioned his situation and I totally get people are struggling but I never ever dreamed someone would want a refund!

01 May 2020 17:38:55
Season ticket already paid for so if cash is tight you actually aren't any more out of pocket than if the season was still on? As above, if it's that bad then don't renew. Someone on the waiting list will be delighted to snap it up I'm sure.

01 May 2020 18:30:17
Blue yonder when I say option not to buy I refer to membership scheme, it’s up to everyone, really good QA what it all means.
If a season ticket holder only benefit I see is u may get a semi or final ticket.

01 May 2020 19:27:51
For once a Tim speaks some sense.

01 May 2020 14:27:22
Everyone are offering refunds. 25 quid is a joke, it costs me more to get to a game. If I buy a product I want the product not 3/ 4 of the product. I support my team by spending my money on season tickets, fuel, food at the games. that's how I help the team by buying the product.

If I went to asda tonight and bought a tub of ice cream and took it home and opened it and there was only 3/ 4 of a tub. would you want your money back? Dam tooting you would. 25 quid is scandalous.

01 May 2020 19:35:31
Blue yonder, I am fortunate enough to be able to renew my season ticket as is my son. I would not expect any refund for this season regardless of what others do. Furthermore my payment for next season is a risk as we may see games being played behind closed doors. but that’s a risk I am willing to take as I love my club. We are all in different positions regarding financial ability at this time so to each his own. And still we follow on.

01 May 2020 19:54:31
that's right the mighty rangers are a tub of ice cream. business changed. so has football.

01 May 2020 21:40:39
Depends what kind of ice cream it was.

02 May 2020 08:24:47
Bhoy yonder 2020, did you get a refund from celtic fc mate?

02 May 2020 08:25:38
Floyder, hear, hear mate.

02 May 2020 08:34:18
Every Saturday brilliant!

02 May 2020 08:45:02
Are you really comparing The Rangers to asda by2020? Simply don't renew your season ticket and go to Ibrox on a game to game basis what's wrong with that? And for the record its not Rangers that are trying to call the season off and its unfair to blame anyone here but if you are looking for a refund then perhaps its whoever is calling the season that you should be claiming against, Rangers want to honour your contract.

01 May 2020 10:40:13
So guys, with France now declaring PSG as champions how do you think the SPL will be decided?

personally I can see Celtic being awarded the title with the season finishing "as things stand"

I have followed Rangers since I was a young boy, problem being my other love happens to be Liverpool FC - although I can't see anyway they can deny Liverpool the title being so far ahead it leaves a sour taste in my mouth if its won by season finishing "as things stand".

01 May 2020 13:05:33
Will you celebrate the "tainted title" as a Liverpool fan mate. A genuine question because a lot of our fans are saying that we would never accept the title in these circumstances. Personally i still think the season should be played to a finish however long that takes.

01 May 2020 13:52:10
if the season ends as it stands which let's face it is looking the most likely option then its a strange one. we have waited 30 years and its won like this but again we are different from any other team on the planet at the moment. no other team is 25 points clear and let's face it no one bar Liverpool were going to win that title this year doesn't matter if it was still mathematically possible or not! not a hope was it going to slip this time, so to answer your question will I celebrate? yes I will, only because it was going to happen regardless, if this was to 2014 season and the season ended prematurely with us sitting 6 points clear as it was in the closing stages then it would be a completely different scenario.

im all for ending the season the right way though and that's by letting us finish the games, win it proper and shut the man united and everton fans up at long last!

01 May 2020 14:12:06
Doc1856, I also follow Liverpool FC, and there is a huge difference in that most definitely they would have won the league only requiring 2 points to do so officially. I agree that in Rangers case, we could catch them, but, it would be highly unlikely the way we were playing prion to the stoppage. Either way, I think the decision will already have been made, and most of the other teams would accept the decision anyway. I will say, that we have not covered ourselves in glory (in my opinion), with the dallying over sending out the information we hold to the other 41 Clubs, they cannot support us, or otherwise, if they don't know what we have. This is a game strategy we won't win, as most think it's a big bluff.

01 May 2020 14:26:04
not a big bluff till all the cards are on the table, all the others ones are putting out deflection statements to try and cover their own backs, let's wait and see how it all pans out, rangers still hold the whip hand at the moment by keeping schtum.

01 May 2020 14:34:27
Some liverpool fan you irvger, they need 6 points.

01 May 2020 14:44:46
AW Naw jyf, you've spoiled my day now, lol, cheers pal, they'll still win it though.

01 May 2020 15:05:08
Got you on a technicality there irvger, the difference in England is that Liverpool are the best team in the land.

01 May 2020 19:36:51
Cheers for the reply lads wasnt having a go was really wanting to see how fans of both Liverpool and rangers felt. As a rangers fan obviously i want to believe we can still catch celtic but before the league was stopped many fans had conceded the title and were wanting Gerrard replaced.

01 May 2020 05:47:39
Season ticket price freeze. . good times🤪🤪

Got a question that's sure to be a debate and and take our minds off covid for a couple minutes.

Im a rangers man through and through and got the stevie g email so renewing shortly

Heres my question.

How many of you want the league null and void just so celtic don't get awarded the title.

And how many believe we have a genuine chance of overcoming this 13 point gap and bringing title back to ibrox?

Personally i'm both. either ways fine for me .

1st one null and void no one wins as its not finished

2nd one aslong as its possible to catch then overtake them then we must be given that opportunity.

Leicester bottom of premiership . certs for drop. Smash it last few games end up winning league the next season. Says it once ill say it again. Anything can happen in football.

01 May 2020 10:28:56
The right thing to do was to null and void, look what we have to do just so we can award a winner. Restructure every league and bring two more teams in, if we don't then we are punishing teams severely by relegating them unjustly and do we need MORE teams in the top tier? If they are handed the title so be it but the champions league spot should not come with it, the potential monies involved are too great to just roll over meekly and let them get on with it.

01 May 2020 10:26:26
Why are you not sitting top of the league just now then if you make it all sound that easy. This is deflecting from the fact your team wasnt up to it. Gerrard isn't up to it. They didn't have the bottle which is being forgot about because of this unforeseen and terrible situation.

01 May 2020 11:08:39
We are not sitting top because we were not breaking teams down that sat in. Any team that came at us we handled well and usually defeated. You lot are the opposite any team that comes at you and you are shown up for what you are, a very poor team. Rangers have the best team in Scotland and we would have beaten you in the remaining head to heads. Tactical tweaks are needed against the hamiltons and the like and once we have that then we are back. Copenhagen are a poor side but as soon as they went forward they showed you right up so to make you champions and gift you the champions league spot is farcical.

01 May 2020 12:17:15
JYF, tactical teaks, Hamilton and hearts both bottom of the league at the time beat your team comfortably, as for best team in Scotland. can you point me to the trophies that you have won in the past 8 years?

01 May 2020 13:08:33
Just reread my posts there and can't find where I said we were the best team over the last 8 years, can you point it out to me please. What I can find is where I say we HAVE the best team in Scotland. Hamilton,77% possession,32 shots 16 corners on 99 out of 100 different days we win that game, Hearts 51% possession 13 shots 9 corners, as I said tactical tweaks, dynamic formation changes are needed.

01 May 2020 13:36:55
ST price freeze but trying to absolute shaft everybody with this new mygers membership imo. New points system looks a farce.

01 May 2020 14:10:59
After we destroyed you at the piggery Kaney both your manager and captain said they would have to find a way to beat Rangers.
Your manager has subsequently said he GAMBLED on 2 up front! He's some tactical genius!
Oh and he still hasn't put that plan into place to beat Rangers as your club voted YES to end the season and accept an unearned tainted title. 👍.

01 May 2020 15:06:25
Mr Tupacman how can you say you destroyed us on the 29th December Celtic 60% possession a missed penalty, two cleared off the line more corners although you had two more shots at goal it’s hardly domination by your team.

01 May 2020 17:04:08
Quite a successful manager to be honest with you. Which is what counts in long run.

01 May 2020 17:22:26
Only going by my opinion how we ripped you apart football wise then your own manager and captains opinion of how the last 2 old firm games went Killy. 👍.

01 May 2020 19:19:49
Don't be a silly Billy Killy we played yous off the park and you know it.

01 May 2020 19:34:57
I take it you didn't watch the game oldkilly because if you think it was anything other than your team being outplayed you clearly know little about football.

01 May 2020 22:15:16
There’s been 3 Celtic v rangers this season and Celtic won 2 of them. that’s the facts lads!

02 May 2020 08:26:19
Bigp, just like you know youse are cheating to get this seasons tainted title to go with the others eh, a few now eh mate.

02 May 2020 09:24:08
As well as having 60% possession, we only had 2 less shots on goal and we both had the same shots on target. We had 11 corners to your 7. I said it at the time and I’ll repeat it, you deserved to win but I would hardly describe it as being outplayed.
