All the talk of Ally being given another year to prove himself as a decent coach.
Can anyone explain to the fans why then is he back on QOS reviving his tv career?
He is being paid £1m+ bonuses yet is ignoring his coaching duties to build up his own bank balance.
Who is coaching the team while he is in London?

Wasn't it a one off Show with all ex team captains. Ally McCoist hasn't had a minutes peace since Adminstration he's worked hard to help our club anyway possible, I know a few of the gers fans will slag his managerial skills which is fair enough but I'm nothing short of praise for the man in how' he's handled everything else Christ he's aged about 10years in 2 with what's happened to our club and it will have hurt no one more than it did Ally. So who gives a f@ck if he wants to hon & enjoy himself with his old friends on QOS he's aloud a life outside Rangers he owes us nothing not one thing get off his back!

He's gone to Queen of the South?! first division football for Ally next season!

Some of the things McCoist said during administration and liquidation were a downright disgrace. Both he and Charles Green were found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute by the SFA and are still on suspended sentences.

Celtic outclassed tonight as they will themselves admit. However, well done for getting to last 16--that has to be recognised. It was a step too far though but at least they were there.

Thanks OP. Yes, it was a good run and got Scotland onto the big stage again. Yes, out classed by a fantastic team but no shame in loosing to a great team, a team that cost millions. Those big nights are something you don't forget and keeps you going through the harder times. Glad to have the memories and to have been in last 16 with huge clubs.

Yes, thanks for recognising it was great to get to last 16, as it was indeed. Went out to a classy team who may even go on and win it. Nothing but pride to be there and keeping Scotland associated with big teams.

Disagree, Celtic the only team in CL who play in a one horse race joke league, able to rest players, give players time to rest even with minor injuries.

@3 If they play in a 'one horse race joke league', what do you think you play in? How many divisions lower?Get a grip, give credit where credit due, say something sensible----or say nothing at all

I think you'll find the epl, la liga and bundesliga are pretty much one horse races as well this season.

Yes that is true, but being in a one horse league means they have to adapt to a huge difference in class of opposition which in the case of the Juventus tie was obviously to much.

@3 didums, sorry for having an opinion. Rangers are in the 3rd and your point is?. Question : If Rangers were in Pl and celtic had to go hard at it every game, do you think they would have done as well or worse?.

Turned on the telly and wasn't paying attention, "the referee cost us the game, we were cheated, ruined the game", for a minute I thought Celtic had been playing early then realised it was the other team that are gracious in defeat.
So there you go Celtic are up there with the moaning Mancs.

Whereas Rangers are in a class of their own moaning about conspiracies, the world being against them, everyone trying to kill the club etc.?

My dear hector fan, should New Rangers actually ever qualify to play in europe, then you might have a view that is actualy worth any value, but alas, it may be many years if ever, if your cash flow problems are to belived before Rangers will ever be able to purchase a team of players capable of playing in the top comps.

What a total n*b you sound complained only about the grappling /ruby tackles dished out last time,
And you wouldn't? NO YOU WOULD HAVE BUT BECAUSE THE MIGHTY CELTIC RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE S*te that went on! We must be talking /moaning about Sh*te,
But you could see no wrong that's what makes you a bigot!

@op If you had watched Man U game last night and Celtic's first game, you would have seen what the 'moans' were about. No disgrace going out tonight----they were beaten by a far better team (no shame) but the first game didn't reflect the score---say what you will. Celtic didn't deserve to get through---fair enough---but that first game had a shocking ref. ---much like last nights. If it was your team, don't tell me you'd think it was ok for I don't believe you.

Wow!. Some touchy sorts on here tonight.

Well done OP hook line and sinker :-)

Come on op, they will never realise they are pathetic. Lennon takes on the sfa and the fans call him a hero, kenny shiels takes them on in similiar circumstances and they slaughter him. Why?

Any thoughts on murray and lloyds pocketing close to £2.5m for the sale of the albion and edmiston house? Why no name change to murray park yet?this is starting to look messy

Mate just emailed me this form the Buisness Insider:
Rangers International Football Club Plc has reported a £7 million operating loss for the seven months to December 31, 2012.

Revenues for the seven-month period were £9.5 million while costs ran to £16.5 million, leaving an operating loss of £7. 04 million.

Comparable operating costs for the oldco Rangers Football Club Plc - now in liquidation - for the same period are put at £22 million.

At current expenditure rates, Rangers - who are currently playing in the IRN-BRU Third Division - are losing roughly £1 million a month based on average running costs of £2. 35 million against average revenues of £1. 35 million a month.

If we currenlty losing £1million (ish) a month is that all coming out of the share issue? and is previous loss also coming out of it? if so by end seaon May 2013 we would be around a £12million or more at a loss?
Where if any will be the future income profits coming from to re build any short falls? If figures above are true then Rangers pre Green and co where running at costs etc of £22mill?
Where as this seaon we are running costs in Third division of around £16. 5 for 7 month period?which comes out, for year around mmmm £27 to "28 million costs for year?
Even my un-maths brain can see that this makes us spending more now than previous regime? by around £5million? how the hell could that be right?
Someone please tell me this isn't right? for god sake.

Does anyone honestly believe green will give 10 million for players knowing that sort of spending would quadruple the wage bill celtic spent around 9 million but has now got a running cost of 36 million how can a club turning over 9.5 million go down that road

Afraid it's in the accounts, unaudited though. the April books will be more healthy surely?

Think we will find umbrella companies are renting use back the assets and milking the cash.

we can't to a share issue every year, the warning bells are well ringing.

if this is true. were bust within 12 months!

Can we please stop the ' self accounting' on here. We should have learned to watch and see. Read what independent financial experts have said on subject. They believe it would be extremely unlikely to make profit before being back in top division. Worrying about it won't change anything.

@5. that's the problem. Three years with no profit? Investors need returns or they are off.

N2 its fairly straightforward players will be leaving ibrox to free up some money for new players plus I don't think anyone should worry to much about accounts if it was a major problem our charlieboy would sell to somebody else but he must know a good thing when he sees it cheers

No7. i'm not worried i'm bloody craping myself. we could be £11 plus million in debt after one season the next three would see us having debt each year but still leave us with overall debts of £22 million (ish) plus we don't have a bank who will be lending us money? so even I can see that the share issue money, season ticket etc will be gone part way through next year? so where is the money coming from? and wake up people today will not invest in a team who are losing millions. Charlie etc are in for the quick payday then off they go. saying not there fault etc etc, same old I think,, the supporters need to be in charge simple. at least they wouldn't be taking huge bonus at the end of year. or monthly wages which will keep some of our large wage bill/bonus system down.
AS for buying that bloody land from Murray to build a "walkway" is he mad. that bloody man should have handed it over for free after the grief he has cost our great club,,, the *******.

N8 look at your post again I think the word COULD says a helluva lot n7 cheers

No 9 that why I said COULD,, to allow others with the brains to tell me different,,,,,, sadly none have?
You able to help. ?or are you another who is willing to let Green etc milk us dry?
Even our accountant states that there will be more losses in the next 2to 3 years? if that is not helping in the wording of COULD? maybe I should have said WOULD and been more honest in our prediciment?unlike our directors for the last 24yrs.

wait to you see the team next season will be a lot better than the one the now.

What do you base that on?

@1 the arrival of Bale, Falcao, Gotze, Varane & John Daly obviously!

Larky Bear

Ni its obviosly based on the theory that new players more experienced than we have now will be coming in and a few duds will be leaving you know the old saying he who laughs last cheers
