Could anyone explain the payment options available for Rangers season tickets?

Cash, cheque or credit card card mate.

10 payments by direct debit through some company called Zebra Finance or 4 payments direct to the club by direct debit. The first option is pending a credit check. Then obviously the other option is one off payment by credit or debit card. Think the first option carries some additional interest.

Finance option too.
10 monthly payments

Payment via 4 or 10 month instalment also available.
AJM.

Exactly the same as celtics. I didn't know this til I read you guys answers.

yes zebra finance, 4 or 10 payments. and nothing in between.

I payed cash at parkhead. shammy

Anyone who knows the slightest thing about football knows that Craig Gordon is a far better keeper than cammy bell and that's not taking anything away from bell because he is a good goalie, but here's the question, if rangers don't sign Gordon who would you prefer as our no. 1 keeper, cammy bell or marian kello?I throw this out there to my fellow rangers fans

Gordon will never go to the new club, he knows just how low it is. Ppl need to wake up no good player goes to rangers to play, only there for a check which the club throws money at players cause they know they would never come. That's why old players are signing up, thought black was going to be a superstar for yous, what happened there?

@1 Law is 25, Peralta is 24, Clark is 22, Bell is 26, Smith is 27, Foster is 27

Old players right enough, with them in the squad we're like a team of pensioners

I'm sure your post is coming from a balanced, unbiased, certainly not green tinted, point of view

/sarcasm

@2) all those guys are available freebies mate. None with a market transfer fee value. Still, they're full time guys in a division where all the other teams are part time, so that makes them special and they'll get three competitive games each before they're even registered with the SFA.

Artur Boruc is looking to come back to Scotland. sorry light hearted banter. Vinciebhoy

@3 What does it matter that they're free, we are only allowed to sign free transfers

as an aside this does not mean they hold no transfer value, for an outlay of £0 in transfer fees we have just signed up assets with future transfer values

your point about part timers is just as pointless, do you expect us to sign plumbers and postmen because that's what the rest of the division have to do?

of course not

The initial point was saying that players are only signing for Rangers to make money, which in these economic times is hilarious at even a basic level of logic

Gordon's talent is not in doubt his fitness and longevity are if he were to go from a £9 million premier league keeper to a sfl2 it would be his admission that he is finished and is merely picking up some free money while its on offer. First rule of football management never sign a player based on what he could do five years ago (don't tell alex mcleish as de la cruz and burke can still do a job in his eyes)

I have to agree to a certain extent with the OP. What are the new signings ambitions? They could have remained in the top tier and realistically played European football (assuming that Celtic wipe the board next year). And yet they sign for us. Why? Also, what are our motives for signing these guys? We don't need them. We already have the squad to win the league. I'm sorry but I'm not going to blindly follow the team just because we make some signings. I want to see facts. Where is the money to pay these guys?

@7 because no matter what league we are in Rangers are a bigger club than their previous teams

We're in the 2nd division and the general consensus is still that we're the only team who can challenge Celtic

With the players ally has at his disposal he better not play 4-5-1 this season as I think it could sicken a lot of fans.

No the answer is even more fans

He will play 4-5-1 but the 2 wingers will play high up the park

temps/little/mckay/clarke

It's all he knows, he is no manager and blind loyalty cause he was a legend for the club stops it from moving on. He was one of the ones who helped end the club for keeping shut and taking money. He knows this is the only place he can get a job and is taking all he can while fans support him. Shocking how fans would rather hold on to the past then move on and actually play football

Ed can we have an exclusive page just about the bestest bus in the world {Ed001's Note - I think there is already one on the Celtic site, judging by the amount of posts I have seen about it on there......}

Ed, bears, just want to point out, I think your new bus is a good thing, as I have said on our page. shammy

Will a team managed by Ally ever be worth more than the sum of its parts?

thats the question which will be answered next season

@4 and Ed, don't you think it's funny and sad how the club is celebrating this bus and all the attention? And the license plate on it rather then looking at football aspects. Of course you are going to get made fun at and of course its going to get a lot of laughs and joked about. Bit I guess the obsession talk will just start up again eh {Ed001's Note - not really. It is nothing more than something to talk about at the moment. I really don't understand how it matters at all.}

@3. Spot on mate, been saying this for ages and been getting called a Tim for ages, McCoist is milking Rangers dry and humiliating the club with his pitiful excuse for tactics, but worst of all is the way he has constantly spouted boardroom rhetoric whilst claiming empathy with the very supporters he helps keep in the dark over the real issues inside Ibrox. Unfortunatley quite a few Bears see him as our saviour (I know its beyond belief) so we will have to wait and see what lasting damage he and his cohorts do to Rangers in their pursuit of personal financial reward.
