Hope we go 4-6-0 on Sunday, is rather not play with a striker if its Andy little cause he's gash.

Mcshagger
Whittker, Perry, Boca, papac
Aluko, big jig, Ness, edu, kerkar, Wallace.

Haha good joke

I think we could play the under 19's and still beat this mob. They are rank. Kidding themselves on, hiding behind administrators and thinking they are world beaters. Actually I think I could play up front and score goals against there defence!

Don't be so stupid, that kind of talk is just a red neck pal

Davis? Maybe Lafferty fer a bit?

Play your u 19s and we'll play our u 19's and we'll still humiliate you .....Stevie

4-6-0, lol whats your name craig levin, and another thing wallace in left mid your having a laugh. We have tried both wallace and papac in left mid id does not work !!

I'm pretty confused by this site ..It's called Ranger's Rumour's yet there seem's to be an awful lot of Celtic supporter's trawling on it ..It's true what they say Obsessed with Ranger's since 1888...

As long as Rangers play a team on a par with Kilmanorck they will be fine.

Celtic aint any world beaters, would either team at their best this season compete against Wigan, Wolves, Bolton, Blackbun, QPR, Southampton, West Ham and Reading ?

I don't.

Eh and whats kerkar? mccoist will balls it p anyway cheap mans wattie smith and his tactics were boring at most but granted great results against that mob

And steve davis wont play!

How are we hiding behind administrators ha ha so the fact we're unbeaten in the league since November has nothing to do with us being top. Ha ha Ok then. We know we ain't world beaters and we've never said we are. I pity you lot, if anyone is hiding behind the administrators its you. The tainted title talk is b****cks and everyone knows it, you were on the downward spiral months before the administrators came in and you blew a 15 point lead. Lets not forget your the one's under investigation so we all know who's really been winning tainted titles don't we lol

I think Andy Little aint bad. He's no Jelavic but right now he's the Rangers centre forward and he's doing his bit for the team. Would love to see him stick one in the back of the net on Sunday.

Who is BIG JIG?

Nah man thats gash how can you not play attacking side when at HOME against the septic?

I hope Whittaker and Laughatmy are playing on Sunday , neither has played for months and will not be anywhere near match fit , smacks of desperate measures .

A team n par with kilmarnock, is tat the same Kilmarnock that beat rangers too?

We will be out there giving it everything we have, Septic watch out because if we are dying as you all predict. We will die in a Blaze of Glory. Honestly we will do you 8-0. You lot will do walking away and most of you will be going home to melted Ice Cream another party ruined. The adimin should stick everything left in the kitty on Rangers half and full time. Oh you will get your tainted Title but Never at Ibrox.

Just when I thought the moronic element of our support can not embarrass us any more this ridiculous celtictaxcase blog pops up. And we say timmy is obsessed with us? This clown has no evidence and nothing to back up his libellous claims.
I urge every decent Gers man to get on this kn*b's case and tell him to pack in embarrassing us further. He is disgracing our wonderful club and every Rangers fan out there.

VB

It's been on the go for ages so chill out ffs

Not 100% sure what your banging on about , but Celtic have used the EBT's to pay Juninho's wages and stopped soon after.

He's hilarious!

Du Wei/Celtic/Derek Riordan/China are all major players in some diabolical scheme according to him, apparently Celtic were trying so hard to cover up the link that they sent Riordan via Hibs (timmy co-conspiritors)!

Give the guy a break though he's obviously not the full shilling.

Mac

Best just to ignore him.
Dont give the pleb the attention he desires.

Like ideas on here post stuff without any proof to back up he would be better buying a red and black scarf, some flags or going to the legends game

The guys got the Celtic fans annoyed anyway think that is his aim, so good on him ,some of the things he says about celtics attendances are more than likely true ,just can't prove it it was still a form of tax cheating

The misrepresentation of actual attendances vs gate receipts at Parkhead started in the 1950s and went on for nearly 40 years. It was common knowledge mind you.

Ha ha its a parody account
best laugh ive had in years
and they have even got people thinking its true

Dont agree, the celtic tax case blog twitter jobbie whatever is a light hearted poke at our noisy neighbours which if nothing else relieves the tedium of 'no news is good news, no news is bad news'

Just dont read the thing.

Your noisy neighbours who aint in administration lol

Why are you so annoyed? Its not much different to a lot of the crap the more crackpot tims are spreading about our club, which incidentally a lot of them are starting to believe. Cheats, stripping of titles- that sort of pish. Anything to get at us.

I can see him getting sued!

Celtic are the pivot point in an unholy alliance between Ireland and China! This guy is awesome!

Totally agree.The sceptic fans are having a field day ripping the p1sh out him all day but are keeping him going. My mate told me that it is a sceptic fan doing it to catch out Gers supporters tweeting sectarian stuff to report them, the gb and the usual suspects are behind it all. He works with a guy in the gb so be very wary fellow Bears and spread the word. A parody of a parody can be very dangerous.

This is a celtic fan at the wind up- well done Declan

Sadly it is just vicious mud slinging which makes him look like a deranged fool and muddies all of our reputations by association

No such thing as libel in Scotland, but you knew that really......just pandering to the Rule Britannia brigade

Its called defamation

Rangers went into administration on the 14th of may 37 days a go. Now we have 4 bids to take over the club. Can some one tell me how they are going to get rid of Mr Whyte? He is the biggest share holder with 85% share of RFC. It seem to me this issue is just being swept under the carpet and everybody is hoping he is just going to go away. Does anyone have a clue? He did buy the shares for £1 which makes the shares his.

14th February

Could be be whyte bought the club fraudulently, certainly under false pretenses.

what is the current share value of rangers shares?

oh right we've been suspended from the trading market, wer're in administration and have 49m + 15m + 24m in the accounts payable column.

seriously how much legality has whytes shareholding let alone value.

The man is no fool. He's open to offers.

He was and still is a venture capitalist.
We will have to pay for him to leave.
He has covered all bases.

The bidders are after rfc and the assets after liquidation

I don't understand the question. Whyte has done nothing wrong, morally his ilk operate in a repugnant way, but all above the law.

What I think the real is the real question , Did SDM know how this was going to be funded and did they know each other - we will never know but the 2 Lanarkshire steel men probably bumped into each other at some point.

Has the money everton paid for jelavic to whyte ever been traced yet ? doug

Liquidation or extinction,you choose !!

Come3 in peace bears well put mate wee craigo is alot of things but a mug he aint!
he bought gers with �1 out his OWN pocket so he has done nothing wrong in that,the other thing still baffles me in that people are saying that he got the ticketus money before he bought rangers,
NO LENDER ON THE PLANET WOULD LEND TO AN INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT SECURITIES either personal or against collateral , ie rangers,if he then wipes out the debt with MOST of that money exactly WHAT has he done wrong?
& if he has borrowed it on apersonal basis then hes cleared off the debt himself & can keep any monies left over to himself!
do you agree?
marty bhoy

Geez a break it was 14 feb as for Whyte he screwed us our club hopefully the police will find him out prison is the only place for him ... Kenny bluenose

Why would we want to get rid of Craig Whyte? Is this a rhetorical question? Craig Whyte is the guy who saved Rangers from extinction.

Re: Jelavic money
We don't want that to be traced, and it can't be. (Because ultimately the assets our out of creditors reach but will feature in the takeover. It's not rocket science)

Do we want to get rid of White? He bought a sinking ship for �1 paid of the debt with ticket us money, milked RFC for all it was worth pocketed the Jelavic money and the rest of the ticket us money. Then brought in his own guys to sort the mess out at a reduced rate. Then offers the club to the highest bidder who buys the club with little debt. I reckon in 5 years time we will think he is a legend!
Somebody had to do it! I did not see anybody else try to buy it.

Whyte has reneged on the terms of the purcase , he hasnt declared his past bankruptcy which can also make a purchase null and void , however the most rediculous thing is the missing money that hhe may well be charged with so wait n see no way he will be allowed to carry on

Jesus is this guy Marty McFly 14th May is weeks in the FUTURE it was the 14th February some fan he is!

Can't believe there are still some people here who thinks Whyte was our saviour.He bought the club for�1 of his own money (which he probably still owes),and will walk away with millions.How does this translate into saving the club? Should we all bow down to him (if we ever get the chance to see him again)

Whyte legally bought the club for a �1. so he is the owner. he done a deal to raise money to clear the bank debt which he saddled the club with. legally there is nothing wrong with this as this was done with the sale of mam un. & liverpool as well. but morally it is wrong

Am I the only one who believes, as he is fit, that Jamie ness should start every week? He is the sort of player, along with kerkar McCabe etc, that will gain value and become a good, if not better, player for us.

Won't exactly fill the opposition with much dread. yes, jamie ness could turn out to be a future star provided he stays clear of injury but kerker isn't up to much.

Not sure he is fit and anyway rangers are having problems getting insurance for the guy

No ur not. Inthink if fit ness should be in the team every week, it's just a shame about his injuries. I dont know if it's true but I heard he has one leg shorter than the other and this is causing the problems. Hope he gets over it cause i think he'd br a star for us

Lee

He does have one leg longer than the other and that is what is injuring him all the time. he has had special boots made but he is still struggling

Jamie Ness has great technically ability, if he could stat clear of injuries hes surely the best CM to come through since Barry Ferguson (C Adam was usually played out wide b4 u all start lol) he oozes class and the range and accuracy of his passing is of a high standard
Theglasgowranger

100% top post. Jamie Ness deserves his chance and this is as good a time as he will ever get to prove himself.

Having one leg longer than another is actually a major advantage when playing at Easter Road.

Ness is a cracking player but always injured. Kerkar is mediocre at best and for a wide player, he really lacks pace and toils to get past players. If whitty, lafferty,goian,bocanegra & papac r bak along with aluko from the start I'm a confident bear

Agree that ness should (and probably will) get game time, but kerkar?? worst player i've ever seen

Garrincha had one leg shorter than the other and it didn't stop him

League voting structure change: One of the league chairman is highlighting this as "beingabout democratic change". If it was about democratic change they would let all football supporters (season ticket holders and supporters club members) vote on league decisions. This is proper democracy and would ensure that the fans in this counry have their say. Given that 85% of the revenue comes from the Old Firm, I would think that 85% of football supporters in Scotland support the Old Firm, so give us democracy! The grand total of the supporters supporting the other clubs would never carry a majority, and this is why they do not a true a proper democracy like this!

On the subject of democracy in the SPL and the SFA, without EVERYONE having a say it's not democracy, no one can say the Old Firm are not major players in the game but teams at the bottom of the league and the lower leagues of the SFL should be able to bring their issues to the table too.
It's important to all of us but in the grand scheme of things it's just a game, we should as reasonable people and be able to have our say on the format, fixtures and rules governing our game, after all it's our money and attendance that makes a fixture happen at the end of the day isn't it?
Rather than a Rangers fan group or a Celtic fan group or a Auchenshoogle Stanklifters fan group we should start a Scottish league fans forum who will bring the majority of all fans considerations to bear on the powers that be with the clout to say "If we are not heard we will approach our members to boycott fixtures and merchandise", like the unions can.
As soon as fan power is realised true change can come about, the racism, sectarianism, and general individual club mentality would eventually dissipate for one of solidarity that we as the fans can change the face of Scottish football for the future, make it a better if not finacially richer league.

But then again, that would put idiots out of a fat cat expense account job wouldn't it?

As a once proud khaftan wearing man said,

"Power to the people"

Charli3.

What would you rather have two big fish in a load of minnows? Or a competitive league where we cant pick a winner? I'd rather the legendary glasgow rangers won trophies in a competitive league than swap it with septic every now and again.

They talk about the greed of the old firm well what about the greed of every other chairman in SPL they would rather keep it a 12 team league rather than increase the league to 18 or 16 to look after their own due to loss of old firm gate receipts if it went to larger league ..so on one hand they want a meeting without old firm to discuss change and then on other hand are happy to live off old firm travelling fans every season .i would say to all rangers and celtic fans to boycott away games and stop giving these parasites money

We will still have democracy no mater what they vote we can stay away from their grounds they over charge us they herd us like cattle we sit in cramped seats so lets see how they get on without the fans from the old firm because going by the home crowds ive seen they will be in grounds with about three or four thousand so party on without us

What gets me is out with the old firm the other spl clubs have smaller support so they want the big 2 to help out but if and when any of the others reach a cup final they demand more tickets so there fans only want to come out in numbers if in a final,and the old firm do it every week home and away ....b

The chairman in question is John Yorkston of Dunfermline FC. Radio Scotland reporting that Celtic's Peter Liewell, will be issuing a statement around 17:30 this evening.
Stevie-A-Bear

We should just play the sellick evry week that would show the ungrateful swine

Celtic fan in peace. The old firm should have there own channels and let the rest try to get a tv deal without us. Peter Lawell spoke well and also said it was unfair to rangers. We should tick together on ths one

The hypocrisy of those teams outwith the old firm is disgraceful. It was the chairmen of those clubs (Aberdeen aside i think) who chose to vote for the Setanta deal over the original sky deal, which has subsequently cost the league countless millions. Had they followed the old firms lead and voted for the sky deal they would have chosen the deal far more suited to the LEAGUES intrest for example, with sky involved, the SPL would have been far better marketed, and reached a far greater audience among countless other benefits. Instead those chairmen took the selfish route and voted for a few extra million each at the leagues expense! They can f*ck off with their average 8000 crowds.

Let's hit these incompetent would be spivs in the pockets.
A total boycott by all old firm fans of away games and instead buy more of our clubs merchandise.
A meeting of minds of old firm fans would be a powerful and terrifying thing.

What is it with Directors of football clubs? They have this hubris that they are intelligent and cleverer than all the rest of us. When out here in supporter land there's by far cleverer people.

Herald reporting sources within the ebt enquiry have claimed that more bad news for rangers is on the way....just what we need

It doesnt matter, if guilty it wont be paid, into luquid and start again, debt gone.

Think you'll find that come 1st april when tax law changes - new company would be liable for the debt
so if we're gonna go down that route - unpallatable as that might be! - - we need to go now

bill72

Reputation and history gone!

Always to be remembered as the 2011 Reigning SPL champions who went into administration and Liquidation and ceased to exist!

Liquidation is not exceptible for Rangers FC fans.

Not true. As of the new financial year starting next month ie ASpril 2012 'New cos' ie 'Phoneix Companies' will be responsible for the debt of the old company the 'came out of'.

Read it again, lots of could , buts , if and mebbes, but agree if guilty serious bother. Liquidation might be looking like the best option and hope for the future

Oh what an honourable mob you are, have some decency & pay what you owe! even if need be sell what assets you have left.

History will never be forgot, will still be gers and fans will accept when we are plus in cash, watch this space

I think the sooner all of the worms come out of the woodwork the better.
It will be easier (though difficult) to save the club if everyone knows what they have to save it from. I seems that every day a new nail is hammered in our coffin.

No-one in their right mind would buy into any business if it's debt committment was unclear. We need the whole picture and we need it now!

After all if the Blue Knights win control they want us to provide the finance.

Paul Murray wants to buy the club but doesn't have the money. Every second week there are 40,000 bears inside Ibrox with the same idea! He wants the glory but we have to pay for it!

What you all need to remember is that D&P are doing us a favour, the average time for a business larger than the club to wound down and assests sold is 3 weeks.

Liquidation means Newco. Rangers 2012 FC. Starting off with 0 trophies and the embarresment.

Would we be embarrassed? Yes! WOuld we loose our history and some seem to think? No of course not, history can not be removed.

GDog
WATP

New laws set be to passed in paliment april 2012
any tax debts from liquidation will carry forward to any newco
so it wont be debt gone it will be carried forward

History of the Old CLub.

Something to tell the grandchildren!

Have until 5th April before new law, but if still in administration by 31st March will get penalized by UEFA, SFA and business authorities as still won't have filled last yrs accounts and held AGM all legal requirements for an ongoing business the punishments are only get worse , thanks Murray and Whyte!

Legislation to improve the process for 'pre-pack' insolvencies, where firms about to collapse can be restructured and sold, has been put on hold while an "urgent review" takes place. The new laws, which were supposed to be introduced in April 2012, were designed to increase transparency and confidence in the pre-pack process, and clamp down on 'phoenix' companies that collapse and start trading again under another name while leaving former creditors unpaid. The FPB urged the Government not to delay the legislation, and to revisit earlier proposals in order to better protect creditors.


The Forum of Private Business is responding with dismay to a government announcement that legislation to improve the pre-pack insolvency sales process, designed to clamp down on ‘phoenix' companies starting again while leaving their creditors unpaid, will now not go ahead as planne

The History will always be there for the club that dies, not the necow and everyone will always ask how much of that history was achieved through legal means...... the plot seems to be thickening every day that goes by. There will always be rangers fans?? Maybe but they wont be supporting rangers I'm afraid.

The history will remain, wont go anywhwere, new com created, playing at ibrox, same fans etc, more cash, wont make a jot of a difference. We will always support Rangers, FACT and I beleive Rangers will keep the same name.

New Co means New company.

Old Name has to be replaced.

Thats one of the rules of Liquidation.

Thats why Rangers 2012 FC for example.

Enjoy sunday guys this may be the last time you witness the mighty hoops in your own place before you need to sell up and move out. the clock is ticking

Bullsh*t. There is no way any "sources" would give out any information that would compromise the integrity of a trial. Any source found to have compromised a trials integrity can be tried as a criminal. We wont know the outcome until its announced. End of.

The Sun reporting that Ally showed Kennedy Ibrox facilities and stated it was informal and doesn't mean anything. That he will do it for all bidders.
Tellingly, Kennedy is quoted on record 'I think the key could be what happens with ticketus. Let's wait see how that one works out'
Ticketus ruling due end of next week.
A fourth British based bid confirmed received.

The ticketcase cant be won.

This is deluding the fans.

D&P are the main winners and the new buyers getting deal of the decade.
