Before ra Sellik kicked a ball in their first game against a Rangers xi(the Swifts), ground had been purchased and two grand stands erected, a wooden cycling track had been laid, and an exhibition game was played between Hibs and Renton on the ground. Ra Sellik promptly signed the better halves of both sides; condemning the original Hibees into oblivion and Renton to a junior football future. The four teenagers founding Rangers played their games on a tidal flood plain. It took Rangers first eleven three months to gather sufficient pennies to purchase a second hand football from Queens Park. The price was seven shillings and sixpence(37.5 pence post decimal). Truly, Collymore is a clown.

Mayhem and carnage in the West of Scotland after matches against celtic. You must remember it from a few years ago. They were all on about it. Chief Constables, Jack McConnell, Salmond, the toff Liberal guy, Gorrie, Chick Young, NBM and all the rest of the hand-wringers, even surgeons from A&E departments. Streets running with blood. Domestic violence. Hospitals over burdened. You don’t hear so much these days. What’s changed? Are all the initiatives and re-education programmes bearing fruit? Or is it just that Rangers were winning then and celtic are winning now?

It's definitely coming from Gersnet. On my iPhone I get no ads at all anywhere, apart from Gersnet over the past couple of days.

no I prefer a forum like this where there are Rangers supporters

Ach! lighten up guys, it's all mainly bullshit made up rumours, but it generates a wee bit of discussion/interest while we wait for the fitba to start!

Yes and equally it would be disingenuous to pretend that the club and many of the support didn't have some of the political and/or religious beliefs we are talking about. It's fairly simple really and it comes down to realism and mutual respect. I'm not from the West of Scotland and growing up a first generation Rangers fan in Edinburgh, my attention was always directed at the football. I went to games and sang songs but wasn't really aware of the history behind it until further down the track and that co-incided with joining the Marines and a couple of tours of N.I., so it dovetailed quite nicely. As I've got older my politcs and my football are very seperate and I wouldn't shape my politics because of the football team I support. To me, that would be plain silly but for those who grew up and were formed closer to Ibrox and/or within a Rangers supporting family, then you can understand their politics, etc.

Or you can live in the modern world and just support your football team.

I am afraid I would just walk past him and possibly say good luck but I certainly wouldn't start kissing him. Craig would probably get the tongue in just so as he can call him his friend.

It's in The Sun. As such, it's not embarrassing at all because it's just made up bollocks by wannabe journalists.

As soon as we start beating them again, the sectarianism card will get played by the usual suspects. It's so predictable.

The number 34 used to be the bus you'd catch from Lothian Road (Edinburgh) to take you down to the dug racing at Powderhall. Powderhall has long since gone, as is the best part of James Collins career. --------------------- Edit...according to soccerway stats. / recent injuries Hamstring 11/03/18 12/05/18 Hamstring 21/03/18 30/04/18 Hamstring 01/03/18 09/03/18 Calf Muscle Strain 27/12/17 12/01/18 Ankle/Foot Injury 17/09/17 13/12/17 Knock 23/05/17 31/05/17 League minutes played (Max 38x90 = 3420) 12/13....... 2496 13/14.......1899 14/15.......1879 15/16.......1439 16/17.......1653 17/18.......1050

Folks, Most of you will have been bombarded with emails recently about the new GDPR laws in the EU. This forum is already compliant in terms of your registration but we also need your permission cookie-wise for our advertising partner on here and our main site so you'll receive an opt-in to review their obligations and requests there. The odd small issue aside with the occasional ad, our partner is very good and reliable on such issues so as much as it's your choice what purposes you want to approve, I'd like to put your mind at res in that regard. Finally, apologies for the green colour in the pop up but that's their branding...

I'm perfectly at ease if we don't qualify. It should be fairly low on our priorities for next season.

Aye but sometimes it's quite enjoyable being the grumpy git. I've met a few famous people and have never felt the need to act like a wee lassie.

I think you need to adjust your thinking mate if you think supporting Rangers is about fighting anti-British and the IRA. I would say you need to find another organisation.

He's been sacked and is unemployable due to his mental problems. He's craving attention and we shouldn't be giving it to him.

Totally agree Gonzo at the very least the captain should have gone over to the keeper but he was too busy bubbling. Kopp also should have made the point of consoling his keeper right away poor management. A bravery award to the keeper for going over to fans and apologising. A decent game though.

''Over the years police bosses have fine tuned their security operation'' Rephrase that to, Police Scotland need to refine their security operation so that they can continue to overcharge Rangers.

The Liverpool players not going back to speak to the keeper immediately after the whistle tells you a lot about modern football.

Crying on a football pitch. Cringeworthy (and I include Gazza). Man up FFS.

Definitely wouldn't want a pay wall, but you could open yourself up to donations. For me, this is not just an extremely well run site with a good balance of members, but it's literally the only choice for a Rangers forum. We all know what the other ones are like. However, ads have been no issue until this recent occurrence, which is obviously a glitch.

Will be surprised if Real don't win this. Liverpool need Salah.

you know when he was released the other day i thought to myself "we;ll be linked with him", just like the john mcginn link weeks ago i expect this to filed under pish

Why do we wear red & white socks so often? I'm with you it should always be black & red socks

It isn't stupid at all, Liverpool are a typical Klopp side and devastating going forward on their day. Also, despite all their recent CL success, I honestly don't see this as a great Real Madrid side at all. They failed miserably domestically this season and I think they're benefiting from Europe's other elite clubs being poor recently in Europe. I'm also not entirely sure about Zidane. If he was across the city at Atletico would be working Simeone's miracles? I doubt it. When you've only coached Real Madrid, it's hard to quantify your ability, and finishing third in the league is extremely poor for Real. However, the gulf in quality between the two sides midfields, man for man, is enormous.

while agreeing about the Sun....Andy Devlin seems to get a lot of things right......I think we feed him from time to time

Forget doing it in a bar on PRW before a game, try it on the RM forum and you’ll see the response, it won’t be pleasant. Buster was 100% correct - there a different types of Rangers fan and in many ways the only thing that unites them is their passion for Rangers. I’m a huge Rangers fan but I’m toward the other end of the spectrum when it comes to many of the associated values that some of the staunchest of supporters behold. I don’t always believe some of those values are very healthy but they are entitled to them and I certainly wouldn’t want to ‘enlighten’ them in any way - you can’t change them. At the end of the day it enhances the rivalry and probably adds to the interest in the Old Firm outside of Glasgow. It does define us and perhaps we would lose that attraction if that wasn’t there.

I had just turned 18 and remember being distraught in the West enclosure at the end of CSKA game. We were effectively finished when Hateley got sent off v Brugge at Ibrox. The big man was unplayable that year.

34 is definitely pushing it. The 34 still goes down Lothian Road...from Ocean Terminal to Riccarton.

Would rather we got no ads and self funded. I would be happy to chip in.

Thanks, I'll report that asap.

The last few days I've been getting plagued by fake Amazon pop-up ads, when browsing Gersnet on my phone - I think a couple of other users mentioned it on the main forum. They redirect me to a page that can't be backed out of - the only option is to close the browser. Is it something admin can report or block? I'll attach a screenshot... Thanks.

Come on. The guys are all blootered and on their way to the Champions League Final. It looks like drunken jubilant scenes to me. Let them enjoy it ?

We can try not to upset them with Union Flags and orange strips. And ditch any offensive songs. And we can post pictures of ourselves at Irish Republican memorials, like their MPs and councillors do. And we could embrace their outlook and dismiss our misgivings about unicorns and rainbows. Freedom will ensue. Only kidding. When's the orange top out?

I can only say it is about Rangers for me. Yes I hate the IRA but that is not what Rangers is about for me.

When Rangers becomes purely about football, there will be nothing left to stand against Celtc FC and their anti-British, terrorist loving filth dominating Scottish football. Why do you think they hate us and obsess about us so much, cos it has little to do with football.

I am not denying anything. Bill, times change. people change. I remember supporters saying they would burn their scarf's if we ever signed a catholic. A few may have but it was minimal. When you have 40.000 season ticket holders you are going to have mixed idea's. You have yours the same as the other 40.000. It doesn't make you right and them wrong. For me the important thing is Rangers Football Club. It is that institution that I love. I think more and more people support Rangers rather than Politics. In fact you may say football is becoming more important than politics for many people.

Most club stalwarts were proud Scots and Brits, judging by what we can see and read. Union Flags and pictures of the Queen have always been part of the furniture (I'm not much of a Royalist, for the record). People can deny it all they want but there's something undoubtedly British about Rangers FC.

Most of the time on these forums we enjoy a great debate and argument about all things Rangers. Now and again however there's an element of our support that surfaces which in my opinion is distasteful and embarrassing. I suppose this element exists in society, and as we've discussed on here before, our support is largely representative of the wider society. It therefore shouldn't be a surprise that we see a representative sample of that in some postings on here. Thankfully, this forum seems to be subjected to it far less than others, which for me is a good thing.

We could do relatively well and still not make the group stages. I look at some of the seeded teams further into the qualifiers..... Sevilla Besiktas AZ Alkmaar Maccabi Tel-Aviv RB Leipzig Partizan Belgrade Burnley Atalanta Zenit Feyenoord Bordeaux Olympiakos, etc. .... and just think it's asking a lot to turn things round so quickly and dispatch that level of team.

I was going to raise this. When using my phone, I keep getting ad redirects. It's not topic specific. I'm using an iPhone X and never normally get issues like this.

One wonders if DK is going after them?

I don't think SR is the man for such 'conflict' and from the outside looking-in, it's seemed obvious for a longtime that the club had a need for a hardnosed and competent CEO.
