For years, I kept telling myself things would eventually turn a corner and get better, but all they ever seem to do is get worse. It is clear the club is on a very wrong path right now. We have had an absurd revolving door of managers—watching the likes of Clement, Martin, Röhl, and now McInnes come and go in the span of just a few years proves there is absolutely zero long-term stability. The results speak for themselves. We have won exactly one league title since 2011, and we have had to sit back and watch Celtic not only catch up to our historic record but officially surpass us with 56 titles to our 55. We are no longer the most successful club in the country, and the boards have allowed it to happen.
To be perfectly honest, Scottish football as a whole is heading in the same dismal direction. Our UEFA coefficient has absolutely plummeted recently, dropping us right down the European rankings. We are losing our automatic Champions League spots and dropping from five European places down to just four for this season. The overall standard of the game here is regressing fast.
I have realised life is just too short to let this constant cycle of disappointment ruin my weekends. The joy has completely gone, and the stress simply isn't worth it anymore. I need to focus my time and energy on things that actually bring me happiness, so I am stepping away and taking a proper break from the club and from football for a while. The sad thing is I can be certain I won't be the only one.
Take care, everyone.

It's hard for us all, but Rangers is for life. I'm drained, but I'll be there on Thursday. Good luck to you though, I'm sure you'll be back at the first sniff of a trophy win.

I feel you pain, mate!
Right now, I am watching my mate fade away while he battles an illness he's never going to recover from. Added to that, I have a young family who are my whole life, as well as a job that takes every ounce of energy. Do I need to add to these stresses? Nope, especially when it's this football club of ours who continue to bounce from one disaster to another while continuously draining every penny they can out of our fan base.
Why bother?!
I have stated that apathy has now replaced anger amongst a large proportion of our support, and unless things change for the better, this will get worse. And these changes must happen soon!

If you read this TKF, then also take care of yourself. I'm not a million miles away from doing the same myself. I'm unfortunately already financially invested in my trip over in October, whether I take in the game or not is very questionable.
How this club attracts new supporters is beyond me, the absolute dross it has served up over the last decade is laughable. The odd result here and there, and yes a run to a European final, but those are exceptions.

Totally understand how you have reached this point, mate. I am similar at the moment.
I've had a season ticket for 25 years and have lost all motivation. Instead of giving it up completely, one of my mates has taken it for the time being. I find it easier to switch off from it if it's not costing me as much time and money.

Rangers are in my blood. Father's blood. Grandfathers blood. So, no walking away. As much as I'm disheartened, disappointed and embarrassed, it's no surrender. This is for life.

TKF, look after yourself, it gets to us all at some point. 🇬🇧

TFK, I left Scotland at the time we imploded back in 2012. I genuinely think it saved my sanity! Not being here when all that played out was a blessing. It would've made me ill being surrounded by it, I honestly believe that. 1 thing is for sure, see, at the end of the day, your health and your family are more important than football.
My youngest son was born in England and supports Fulham! He said he's happy he supports a club that's not expected to win every week. 🤷🏼♂️ 😂 It's less stress, in his words, and staying in the PL or finishing in the top 12 with their budget is a big win for him. I sometimes think, wouldn't that be good! Lol.

Mols, it's going to take a lot more than one trophy to get my interest back.
I used to love this club, but I honestly don't feel that any more. There's been so much promise for turning things around, but it is always followed by disappointment.
I don't give up on anything in life easily, so this hurts to say, but I'm genuinely out. I'm no longer willing to spend my hard-earned money in the hope I may be pleasantly surprised as opposed to sad and disappointed.

I've basic trading with both Army and Police. Those that can't hack it walk away. You can't have people walking away when it gets a bit hairy. Good luck TKF, but I don't walk away from the Rangers. This will get sorted. When it does. Do you waltz back? Stay with us, mate. No surrender.
10 Aug 2026 10:06:42
TKF, we've all got to do what we feel is the right thing to do for ourselves, but I will never walk away from Glasgow Rangers. It's just not in me and would never cross my mind, but each to their own. 🤔 I was born a Rangers supporter and I'll absolutely die one. 🤔 My great grandfather's from both my parents' sides, my grandfather's from both sides, my own father and all my uncles from both sides, and even my gran from my mother's side all went to see the Rangers.
❤️ I didn't choose to be a Rangers supporter, I was born one and wouldn't have wanted it any other way. ❤️ 🇬🇧

This isn't getting at anyone, but I am glad we don't all feel the same or otherwise 2012 would have been the end of us.
That said, I understand and accept we are all different, for sure, it's much easier and better to go to Ibrox and come home with a smile, but it's at these dark times the club needs us most.
Whatever you decide, always stay safe, and remember, family is the most important thing.

It's a tough one because we all care about the club and it ruins our weekends watching us underperform year in year out. I decided a while back to change my thoughts on it. Rangers winning doesn't pay my wages and they're not the most important thing in my life.
Being a Rangers supporter to me is a life long hobby that I'll never give up, however, as much as I still get really annoyed, I don't let it fester and I don't dwell on it. It is what it is. The highs may not be what they used to be, but the lows are certainly less stressful now.
10 Aug 2026 10:37:27
We don't do walking away.
10 Aug 2026 11:10:37
I could never do it but each to their own, From the womb to the tomb.

As I get older, I appreciate life more even my who is in know a football fan her boss said to her that he was asking for me he is season ticket holder other mob 30 years ago I would been drowning my sorrows in booze but these days I juat walk my dog gets rid of stress and by now use to the abuse from the tims.

What's that famous cry, Ns? 💪🏻

I take the odd sabbatical from the site, but I will never walk away from Rangers. It makes me sad reading that post, but you must do what is the right thing for you.
I am at a very low ebb just now, and the football certainly doesn't do anything to change that. I live in hope. It's the hope that kills you, but hope is all we have.

It is very difficult just now, and I fully comprehend people choosing to take a break from ongoing disappointment. The stress doesn't just come from our own failings, but the generic rubbish we see week on week from players and officials. This weekend highlighted it. Another well dodgy decision that went against us. People are laughing at us - and Scottish football in general - because they see this rubbish and unintelligible decisions.
I'm also fed up with non-entity players getting away with goading us on the park. Time for a Souness style reaction and a few red cards to regain respect. Or even, better, rattle 6 past other teams and laugh at them.
