Faure, Wallace. murdoch, Hutton, were all stand outs tonight, Vuckic, Clark, Boyd, Robinson did ok, Law, Zaliukas could be better, McCulloch too slow and McGregor wasn't really tested.
BUT!! a win is a win and 3 points so just maybe the elastoplast is beginning to do its job?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed039's Note - Hutton was man of match for me )

I posted last week kyle hutton was getting better every week much improved tonight again mibbe k macdowall is not so much of a dumpling eh giving young lads a chance I am a a happier bear simples

Agree0 Disagree0

I also posted about faure a while agod was rubbished he is like signing a new player and murdoch why did super swally not give them a game

Agree0 Disagree0

Weebill

Here's hoping SFA ban Jig again or he gets injured and we may have a team again.

There is only one more game until we win EGM so if this team can keep their pride up and win one more game then we are in with a good shout to definately still finish runners up

We have 14 games left and 3 of them are against Hearts plus Hearts have derby games Livingston/Hibs. If QoS can do us a turn this weekend and even if not we still have an outside shot at Hearts I honestly feel we could still catch them for an end of season last game decider at Hearts

TBH I will be just glad to win EGM but I believe under a new manager we can catch Hearts (bottlers just like celtic mind).

We have no chance of catching Hearts stop living in a fantasy world and come back to planet earth

There are only 2 games against Hearts!

Agree0 Disagree0

Absolutely NO chance of catching Hearts now!

We need to be concentrating on 2nd now.

Nicky Law needs to start imposing his self more & we need a striker, to hit a bit of form.

The boy on loan from Newcastle looks good, looks to still lacking a bit of match sharpness so hopefully he'll improve.

Last nights finishing back 4 is who i'd be sticking with.

Agree0 Disagree0

Okay I put my hands uptoday was for me a huge turning point potentially with Rangers looking better and winning away to Raith I felt a wee collapse could have started and Hearts playing us twice plus tough games against Livi/Hibs being derbys we had an outside hope.

I accept that as gone.

I do feel though we should be good enough for second and if I had to choose between Hearts and Hibs I would much rather us and Hearts promote. I know they were like all Scots teams terrible to us at Admin time but long term Hearts were always me Edinburgh team I have always hated anything Green lolol

So to the playoffs and I hope McInnes in charge we are as good a squad as anyone involved so I really do feel that with a Manager and tactics being used even if it has to e McColl we should have a very good chance of winning.

I would add that I think if we don't win promotion it may be a blessing in disguise giving ius a year and 3 signing windows to allow the Magath/McInnes (I hope) and King/3Bears era fto take shape.

What could have been if only McCoist had of been brave enough to bleed and play youngsters?? Who says Murray park hasn't produced any talent the young guys must have thought it was Xmas us being demoted to the 3rd flight being given the only chance at rangers they were ever likely to get to show what they can really do . The thought of the team we could have been kinda scares me! Anyone else?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Ally has done as much damage to Rangers as Whyte and Green. There were good young players available but he choose over the hill journeyman who have been found out in the championship. If he had done his job properly our centre midfield should have been Telfer and Allen but instead we got Black and Law

Agree0 Disagree0

Bornblue

Having watched The Salary destroy the confidence and ruin ever player under his "mnagement" in 3 years in a way I feel sort of relieved for all the young players that he passed up as at least their careers were not destroyed by him

Gasparotto and MCKay can come back to us when we have a football manager after the EGM and resurect their carrers and develop their potential.

The Salary was just a wee ned that happened to get lucky he was there when whyte/green and the cr**ks needed at dummy to front for them, to steal from us fans. Sadly for our football team that was a disaster though The Salary's bank manager is over the moon about it all.

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

Stewie I have posted that reaptedly posted that over the last couple of years macoist has done far more damage than not only white and green and the board but the s f a and all those who voted us down the divisions

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes I agree the man in no rangers hero

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with all 4 posts. The footballing part of the club which is the only thing that should matter has been woeful and that is down to Ally and him alone. The fans who have left for good thanks to Mr Mccoist
probably share the sense of lost opportunity for the club to come back with a brand of youthful, energetic and exciting football, The world was watching no one could believe a third division team in Scotland could attract a world record crowd of 43, 500 and looked in with disbelief and pent up excitement- until the whistle went. They quickly exited stage left but sadly our leg end stayed to destroy the footballing chance of a lifetime. And a big thanks to Walter Smith for ensuring his succession viewed contract or not.

Another friday fright night, what are we doing playing Jig, his time has passed he is a liability at the back, milk turns quicker. sorry but he is finished, time to move on, what do you think

Believable0 Unbelievable0

More to point, what does MCGregor think?is he injured?Jig playing as though he is injure d.

Agree0 Disagree0

Great goal thought

Agree0 Disagree0

McDowall = pussy and pal of The Salary he wouldn't dare upset his wee gardening mate Jig will stay until one of those things called a "football manager" comes in, post EGM victory and either puts him down for his and our own good esp for Rangers defence good. Maybe he can work on this amazing garden project that The Salary and McD will be working on. I expect major prizes next year at the Chelsea Flower Show considering we paying 1.5million pounds for them.

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

@3. George, I get that you don't like Ally but he actually isn't costing anything - to be fair if he left for free the incumbent board would find a way to get the remainder of his salary into their pockets. i'd be interested to see if/when King wins the egm whether Ally might then do the decent thing?

Agree0 Disagree0

BearinAyr

I can't see him confessing and returning his salary for the last 3 years if that's what you mean by decent thing lolol

He is his own biggest fan and will only ever pocket the full amount he is due (in his mind) and not a penny less. I am just praying that King finds no place anywhere in the Rangers organisation for him other than maybe selling the Follow Follow outside the stadium

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

George

I wasn't suggesting he should return 3 years salary, I was suggesting he might do a deal to write off the remaider, Ally McCoist was a very poor manager, no doubt about that but for me there were/are far worse than him ripping the club off - Firstly all the shysters on the board, closely followed by the procession of "specialist advisors" who have bled us dry, The players and management have come up well short but ultimately have worked harder for their money than any of the other leeches. If I was Ally McCoist right now I would not leave for free to let Ashley, Somers, Easedale etc hoover up my wage - not sure why you think that would serve the interest of the club.
Im not saying we should give him a knighthood but rather that he should be a hell of a long way down the list or criticism - we are not in the position we are in merely because of McCoist but due to the host of crooks that came before him and some of whom still remain now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Unfortunetly super swally has a contract and as such he is due what he is due whether we like it or not we may have got terrible value for his money but ally being the greedy individual he will want every last penny again whoever agreed the contract is to blame

Agree0 Disagree0

AyrBear

I was joking lolol he will return nothing unless he feels HE can gain from it, as in if he thinks King will give him a job upstairs at Rangers he might tactically return his wage for remainder of contract. Though knowing he has zero tactical ability that is unlikely

i am george

If King gives Allly a job as some ort of tactical guru - then we really are f**ked lol

I have posted on the Financial Page STV's analysis of the Rangers Shareholders - the most indepth by far.
It does give King & Co the biggest listing - makes for interesting reading.
Like the rest of us - I am thinking is it as easy as that? What has The Board and Ashley got up their sleeves?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Royal blue there probably like us in respect having arms up there sleeves lol.

RB. I have got. To admit I am still not 100% on the Victory. I really hope that we get rid of these shysters.

Agree0 Disagree0

Very droll - but what else that is the question? What trickery are they conniving?

Agree0 Disagree0

Doomed a say doomed!! There's no qick fix & more shambolic episodes to come.Football side of things rubbish. Financial basket case still with no credit line at any bank, a PR nightmare due to fan groups divided when should have united as one 3 years ago. No forward planning apart from wanting rid of a board, club badge image rites merchandise advertising the Albion Murray park all MA(remember the devils in the retail no the detail). No Management Team, No ££££ Ibrox needs millions spent on it££££No money for signings capable of finishing in the top6 if can even manage to get in the SPL. Oh & the chart representing who holds what shares the UNKNOWN piece of the pie will be Charles big hands Greene's & Mysterious Men.! & the deeds, Ahh them Deeds that where shown in a FOLDER!!No one can openly prove that the stadium is truley sacrament.

Agree0 Disagree0

Royal Blue

I agree these figures are positive but they are also very accurate based on facts and previous votes. It therefore boils down in simple terms to King needing only 6% of the "undecided/unknown" shares which is an absolute certainty

I said some time ago I expect it to be 55% + in Kings favour and nothing has happened to change that.

Any Bears worrying about them having something up their sleeves has nothing to worry about as the shareholders in the King camp are all die hard against the board and no offer to buy their shares by an ashley "stooge" or any other party will interest them it is that simple

King waited and after his peace offer of 16million allowing some of the board to stay was treated with the usual contempt he played his hand beautifully as have the 3Bears. Anyone that thinks for a second that this twin purchase of around 15% each by the 3Bears and King wasnt planned is naive it allowed them to take power at EGM but also saved them having to offer to buy all other shareholders out with a 30% + shareholding. This was an extremely shrewd move and in my mind it is the first time GREEN has been out flanked and beaten over the last 3 years. He has been with ashley behind everything from whyte untill now.

I really hope after King wins that they can catch them out on illegal deals and hand it to the Police. Green joining Whyte in court and prison would make Rangers rebirth all the more happy

These people are all professional cr**ks in the guise of businessmen and Green's plan from day one was to bankrupt Rangers TWICE the second time promising ashley the deeds of Ibrox, Murray Park and every other Rangers asset. he came within a couple of share trades in January and an EGM of succeeding.

F**K YOU green I love the fact you are going to fail and hope ashley and whyte turn on you in court.

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

Royalblue the mistake your making is thinking that Ashelys interests entirely coincide with the boards.

Whilst the board are tied to Ashely , he might simply be maneuvering to ensure that his share of the pie is as large as he want and untouchable Whomever runs the board.

Agree0 Disagree0

Growls? What mistake am I making?
I am asking the question about the board, and when I say the board, in case you are forgetting, it is being run by Ashley.

Agree0 Disagree0

Growls

You make a very good point about ashwipe

I had not really thought on him from that perspective.

He could very well be looking at how Rangers will be a national brand again with a very large support base and look at the EGM as the board losing why should he.

That said he has a very strong hold on all our kit production and related fuds for a few years as it stands so unless he suspects the contracts can be voided due to boardroom dodgy dealing he won't be too worried.

One thing I thought this week I do not think he will be happy with is the Parlimentary questioning he is facing on two fronts he does not like being looked into privacy wise and he hates being told what to do he could well look at Rangers and its publicity is a pain in the ar*e and not worth the little it is earning him

Personally as I posted earlier I believe 100% the Green and he had a plan from the outset and it was that ashwipe would end up with Ibrox MP and all other Rangers property with a possibility of leasing back to us or developing the sites for his own business concerns. He will be very unhappy about EGM loss if this is the case

Roll on 6th March and King/3Bears victory. I will be very surprised if after the result we don't see a coming together of King and the 3Bears with at least 2 or 3 places on the board for them

i am george

Agree0 Disagree0

RoyalBlue he is a major shareholder and holds contracts worth a large percentage of the clubs revenue stream . At the moment he is acting as a life boat for the current board.

The question is are they his chosen crew or are they passengers of convenience (for him) because they need him. If the latter then consider this. The whole of the pie is now off the table unless he was willing to buy enough shares to force the other major players to sell . This would be costly. The next option if you are shrewd is to ensure that you have the biggest slice of the pie you can get for the least amount of work. That is why I have no doubt the commercial contracts are legal and watertight.

Why would he object to loosing all his fellow travelers on the board and them being replaced with people who make the club bigger and successful when it won't be his money they are using but he still gets 75% of all the revenue?

Agree0 Disagree0

Growls, good points as are the others on this post lads. I think it will be the case that fat mike ditches his beleaguered stoogies on the board as they have failed in their biggest quests for him, they have sent all his retail customers away, emptied the stadium he gets cheap advertising in and if it continues they will keep the club in the Championship with much less UK TV exposure for the aforementioned cheap advets.
Remember he has already shafted the board at the last share issue where he withdrew his underwriting through his proxy and bought shares on the open market. This was a message to his stoogies.
Fat mike wanted them to get us on the Premiership and get us into second place spending the minimum cash as keeping us interested while he mops up the revenue. The loans were to be his safety net for when us fans got bored of being second and stopped supporting, then it was to be his favorite pre packaged admin and him securing all our main assets for £10 million. King and the 3 Bears blindsided him because in his plan he thought institutional investors who bought blocks at the IPO at 70p a share would never sell at a massive loss. His arrogant stoogie board put paid to that with their sh*te management and then chrighton votes against him at Kings takeover bid and Fatboy was arrogant enough to sack him, bad move fatty. So we have King and the 3 bears to thank for saving us no matter how successful they are as a board its a simple as that and I hope all the fans know that not only their supporters.

Agree0 Disagree0

Itsallgonetitsup captain mannering here last night showed we have players capable of going on to better things we suffered foster for long and weary faure comes in and does 10 times better hutton is beginnig to show how good he can bee far superior to ian black (and better tempered)i have been sore on k macdowall at least he has been brave enough to make the changes and its coming good for him

Agree0 Disagree0

RM

I agree with you and you are so correct about King saving us we are 6 months from 2nd Admin and ashwipe keeps all assets were it not for the Crichton factor as you point out and fatboyslim got it wrong there hugely hahaha

BIGWULL

Faure told press about cake eater Black and The Salary pissing around on training ground he was clearly blackballed (no pun intended) then by The Salary but fortunately he played a blinder in Hibs game (just the cross balls into box alone were a huge difference) so made himself a must pick for McD despite his oyalty to The Salary

Technically a very good player and puts a shift in I would have him in defence every game

I may be a bit behind the times here, someone may have posted this before me, but I nam going to email BT sports to tell them I will be cancelling my subscription if Collywobble is allowed to continue in his position with them < I would have loved him to have been at the rangers game wit a former Gers player who asked him if he was planning on monitoring every club in Britain to check what they're singing?, I think the guy is a crackpot, does he forget his wifebattering days? maybe it was Rangers fans who stopped Ulrika being crippled

Does anyone else think that big davie weir would be a good appointment as our next manager of rangers?What's your take on davie weir ed?I honestly think it would be a good appointment as by all accounts big weir is regarded to be a very good coach especially with youth players which is exactly what our next manager must have in his armoury, thoughts please fellow blue noses?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed039's Note - JR, I am trawling through archived posts in a minute, before the season in 3rd division I gave my view that we should appoint Dave Weir as manager - before he got the Sheff Utd job - for pretty much the same reasons as you just mentioned. I think he would be an excellent addition to the coaching staff, the problem is his family live in Merseyside and full time commitment might be a problem)

20 Feb 2015 16:20:58
I agree Davie would be a great addition but maybe not as manager at the moment, maybe as assistant, that would be a great move

Agree0 Disagree0

I think in the current climate that the only people we can ask to come, and for that matter who will come, will be those that are True Blue.

And I think that we would be better off with Billy Davies.

We also need an assistant for Billy - this is where it becomes interesting. I would not want anyone from the current regime - How about Barry Ferguson?

We also need a Head Scout - I think Tonto and The Lone Ranger would fit the bill as we need to hit the ground running to set up a working, cohesive network.

We also need to bring back or reimburse those staff that were tossed out by The Bored.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure he'd move up here, when he played with Rangers did his family not stay in England and he commuted back and forward!

Agree0 Disagree0

What's the chances of brentford manager, David and Lewis all at ibrox next season!

Agree0 Disagree0

J r this is not the time to bring in managers with little experience this will bo one of the most critical appointments of a rangers manager ever

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Feb 2015 14:57:19
Tonights game should be a good game if we can stick in the same performance and effort as last week. I thought the defence played better with Lee, I know Marius wasn't great but he must be ring rusty. Should improvenwith game time. Steve should not get his place back between the sticks as he has brought unwanted attention on the club and broke the rules.

I personally feel if we get the young guys and those who's contracts are getting renewed playing until then end of the season. let's start building a team. If we get promoted then well done, if not another year to build and get Rangers back to being a force and Ibrox a fortress of astadium every other week and get rid of the sectarian songs and abuse once and for all.

I hope the EGM can pass with the right result and our fellow bears behave. This will be for all the world to see, we don't want to start off on the wrong foot. i'm sure there's plenty of things we can chant and sing.

Spot on, old pals act it is,

Kris Boyd is playing after last weeks worst ever performance from a full time footballer.

lee McCulloch gets back into the team simply because he is Lee mcCulloch.

What a spineless character Kenny is, a once in a lifetime opportunity to do your own thing as manager of rangers and he simply continues the bad management practices of the jolly one .

Agree0 Disagree0

For me if two strikers are going to play it must be Clark and Boyd last time they played together we beat raith 4 0 . they could be a descent partnership. Boyd needs supply which vuckic might just give him

How much money has rangers wasted on these bloody letters telling us about the egm lol! Got one for the grange then the millennium now they will send us one for ibrox just to ask us our vote to proxy or not. Why not just email lol?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

CeeXXX

The cost of sending them gets an "Admin" fee added to it which Rangers new regime will find to be thousands same as the thousands that LLameass PR people will be invoicing for the temporary help they are doing now. Basically for 2/3 weeks until the board are removed every possible way they have of emptying the bank of cash will be used. They will have accomplices . sorry associates . invoicing for all sorts of consultation fees it is how Whyte and Green removed millions from Rangers to be split up in cash handbacks.
For example Aiden Earley 250k sent to Banstead Athletic of which Earley took 40% for "handling fee" and 60% cash o Whyte. It is how Long Firm Frauds operate.
Still going till this day until we finally get rid of them at EGM seriously only people that are fully aware of the level of this Fraudulent Scheme realise just how near we are to going out of existence were it not for EGM. It will become clear in the courtrooms at the various trials that will happen over the next 2 years. Whyte and I hope Green will end up in prison and if lucky all of them from Stockbridge the current board will all see their day in court. Despise the lot of them.

I am George here here mate, that's my view on every last one of them, people think Ashley is squeaky clean, pfft, let's wait until we see under the bonnet before making judgment on that one, easdales never took money from club?whopper, another lie that will soon surface, IMHO.

Agree0 Disagree0

I am George, you are bang on the money as usual, this mob will withdraw every last penny from the bank of Ibrox until they eventually get a decline, as you and many other posters and ED's have said previously this mob are professional crooks and know every trick in the book to make sure they all get there kickback "the great stadium robbery" is still active and will only end once king and T3B get in and start to unravel this mountain of paperwork left behind, I will certainly be giving them any assistant and guidance to highlight the "insider traders" who are still at it right now hiding behind whoever is in charge, I'm sure Mr king will be delighted to know who they are! Any make sure they are removed from the club, because in my opinion they are as bad if not worse than the current and previous board members.

Agree0 Disagree0

RR

They are using the exact same system as whyte and stockbridge used during stage 1 and stage 2.

Invoice issued for say 250k like Aiden Earley @ Banstead AFC. He trousers 40% and returns 60% in cash for providing the facility. I am happy that Stockbridge has been caught red handed doing a 300k invoice so hope that the next stage of the Police investigation brings him and Green/Ahmad etc to the Courts charged with same Fraudulent Scheme as Whyte and Gang of 4

I hope you all vicariously enjoyed watching Celtic in europe last night, and hope most of you never lost too much in your bets lol. I had a wee smile on my face reading the posts from all the bears slagging Gordon, these are the same fans who have Simonsen as their goalie, I know which goalkeeper I would rather have. As for my bets I had both teams to score and a draw which both came up, I also had 2-2 and 2-1 Celtic which was unlucky but still in profit. Big ask to win in Milan but hey I am still confident.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Celtic played well, I had a score draw on so not bothered got a wee bit. When have Celtic ever conceded 3 at parkhead though? Armstrong looks a good signing! But the back 4 needs sorting out, I know I have cheek to say that with how we are playing atm lol. Well done hope Celtic goes through (tongue firmly in cheek)

Agree0 Disagree0

Hands up, I thought Inter were certs and lost a few quid last night.

Still at least the result has helped the coefficient and every little helps as I think I am right in saying that if against all odds we were to win the SPFL next year we would face three qualifying matches against seeded teams in order to reach the CL.

Agree0 Disagree0

I love the enthusiasm Naz, hopefully it does reduce the amount of qualifiers off the winner of the SPFL which ever team it is

Agree0 Disagree0

Hilariously more like. same syllables. We're in our world, you're in yours. if you're happy with 3-3 draw at home to a mid table team, good oh. our world will get better. where can yours go if that's your aspiration?.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cash out buttons are amazing timalloy

Agree0 Disagree0

LANI that mid table Italian team cost £60m more than Celtic's team did. And if there is encouragement in it they were all terribly bad goals to lose and we still drew with them. Rangers on the other hand can comfortably lose to teams (home and away) who are assembled at a fraction of the cost of the Ibrox squad. I'd be far more concerned about that personally.

On the subject of aspirations after the recent 0-2 v Hibs Kenny McDowall while talking of his team said "To a man I thought they were fantastic."

Glass houses LANI, glass houses.

how can 2-1 to sellik be unlucky? they were 2-0 down?

Agree0 Disagree0

Glass worlds mate. Chelsea cost zillions more than Bradford, still lost. what's cash difference between current Tic squad and Caley, for example, £60 mill?. We've won our leagues, but been rotten in cups. many trebles have Celtic won since we fell out of Premiership? And as for fantastic players. Remember Geezabeery, Kayal were worth trillions?. As I said, different worlds, we can only get better. Celtic are not the team they were2/3 years ago, and it'll be tough to improve.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gannet who won that aforementioned Champions League, oh yeah the team with the most expensive two players in the world and almost certainly the most expensively assembled squad, if you are going to make financial comparisons please make it one that can't come back and bite you on the arse so easily eh?

Of course it goes without saying teams can and do under/over achieve compared to financial input but while this is not a great Inter team they on paper and on the park are better than Celtic, the same can't be said for Alloa, Raith, QOS or any number of teams who have beat you in the past three seasons.

LANI "we're not as good as we were three years and it will be difficult to improve" how does that work? Surely good scouting, the very thing that has gave us Wanyama's and Van Dijk's etc can see the team improve, a second year under the coach too, let's face it the team is still markedly better than last July, August, so there is arguably already improvement and perhaps the most screamingly obvious thing, you mentioned Izzy (well I think you did in your infantile way) he is rotten so surely a decent full back would improve that position, no? Cheers for helping making my own argument there and destroying your own.

Gaz I

!infantile?. dearie me. it is a banter page mate, wipe the spit off your tablet. having read your answer, thoroughly, still can't get how I destroyed my own argument. and neither did you, btw.

Simple question, are Celtic as good as they were 2/3 years ago?. short answer please, no keyboard incontinence now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok. just for you, no they're not. no argument there. and you mentioned Wanyama. who is where exactly?. not at Celtic. same as Van Djik in a few months., despite fact he is overrated. Ergo, tough to improve, tough to maintain improvement.

Lani football is like that, teams are better/worse than at other times, Celtic 3 years ago weren't sufficiently brilliant that they are out of reach from this team, at least 2 of this team would get into O'Neill's UEFA Cup Final team for example but that team 3 years ago won less league points than last years team, swings and roundabouts mate.

As for your other point, you scoffed Izzy as being worth trillions, first off I never read that any where and have never really rated him bar his first season, so it goes without saying that you scoffing his perceived worth suggests you don't rate him either, therefore surely it would be pretty easy for this team to improve by replacing him, that's my point.

Conceding 3 home goals I don't see much hope of celtic going any further in europa league afterall u only managed to score 2 goals against the worst rangers team ever and even at that both goals were the result of woeful defending

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm 99% certain they will go out BIGWULL having said that I was 98% certain they would go out before a ball was kicked in the first leg. Defense is very poor at that level. They did toy with Rangers though be fair, Rangers didn't have one shot on target in 90 mins.

Heartened to read young walsh saying that now craig mulholland is now head of youth football at auchenhowie that a new style of football has been adopted with the emphasis on playing football out from the back and he says it is a style they are still trying to adjust to but it will lead to a better product from the youths but my concern would be that come changes at the egm will it lead to more change at ghe academy and hopefully whoever comes in continues the new play football policy

I remember when souness arrived, chris woods nearly always played it out through the back four when he could. it makes sense, as you have pocesion of the ball right away, instead of punting the ball up the park, and becoming a 50/50. we have to find a system that we play, from 1st team right down to our boys clubs, and stick to it, something like the ajax ( education ) system or we will never get anywhere and end up watching the dross that's being served just now and with future rangers players!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Boyblue in the days o sounes and advocaat we were wasted now its the players who havebeen wasted by super swally but macdowall is improving he as now had a little more sene and let durie do after match interviews

Hi BT61. I too pray that these imposters are ousted from our club but I do not think its a fore gone conclusion. Would love to be 100% confident but I always feel this mob has some cunning plan.

Gutted the date now March 6th that would have been the birthday of my very recently passed mum I was looking forward to a real knees up to celebrate the end of the toxic regime and the beginning of a new dawn somehow won't feel right anymore.

Cheers lads nice words much appreciated.

Agree0 Disagree0

Soton bear when your next having a wee quiet word with your mum, you can let her know we have got rid of the imposters, and I would bet she will be looking down and smiling at your news rip.

Rumoured that Rangers chief executive Derek Llambias has emailed the secretary of the Rangers Fans Board to inform him that he is disbanding it, just four months after it was set up by his predecessor, Graham Wallace.
So much for interaction eh

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It's a known fact

Agree0 Disagree0

The fans board was always a pointless exercise. They were only ever going to be told exactly what the board wanted and have no say in the running of the club. Very quaint idea but waste of time

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Feb 2015 16:44:10
turns out they didn't do what the board wanted then

Agree0 Disagree0

The supporters board were hand picked by the idiots on the rangers board, and they even made a c.nt of that,
