The board have totally failed in this.

Another thread reminds us of disappointing players some of whom cost a fair bit of money but we did get one or two players for not a lot of money who did pretty well. Baxter and McMillan the prime examples. Here’s the team. All money paid or player exchange from senior clubs. No Queens Park graduates or Juniors selected. That’s two different teams. McCloy, Shearer, Telfer, Bill Paterson, Shaw, Harold Davis, McMillan, Alec Macdonald, Baxter, Gordon Smith, Ian Ferguson.

Sadly this is the yahoo-infested, SNP-run state we now live in. No one seriously believes they accidentally lost evidence of the 2 hanging effigies. It was deliberate.

As important as new and better players will be for next season, we also need to see our manager developing his tactical and strategic leadership. I think he will.

Of course, the left doesn't actually give a fig for Palestine or its people. That much is pretty clear. The left happily ignores the hijacking by Islamism of what was traditionally a secular Palestinian population. They ignore the current governance of Palestine whose activities effectively contradict and despise the identity and values that western leftists claim as their own. Leftist ideology has such shallow roots that it depends for expression on causes that are purely emblematic. What Palestine does is irrelevant. The principles by which Palestine conducts itself are irrelevant. All that matters is the projection of "Palestine" as a cause celebre with no purpose other than self-justification. The same applies to the adoption of Palestine by the ludicrous celtic brotherhood and its installation in the lexicon of self-appointed freedom fighters. It applies to superficial wannabes who fly Palestine flags over our public buildings and wave them at football matches or ScotNat rallies. It has little or nothing to do with the reality of Palestine and everything to do with surrogate symbolism. When was the last time St Jeremy sharpened his sickle or the green brigade visited Gaza. Hell, when was the last time St Nicola visited Govanhill? No wonder socialists everywhere make such an arse of it every time they stumble into government and are forced to confront reality.

I had a discussion with an associate who, whilst being a reasonably intelligent guy, follows them ardently and is brainwashed to their cult group think. I seen his head almost explode though when bringing this one up on him: He was banging on about Israel and I questioned him as to why he hated them so much. Him: “Israel is a foreign invader and have no right to be there, it’s not their home land”. Me: “So if a group of people aren’t indigenous, they shouldn’t have the right to set up home somewhere else?” Him: “no, it’s shocking, they way they persecute the Palestinians who are the true people of the land is shocking too”. Me: “you do realise that Celtic and their fans are the Israel of Scotland?” Him: “what absolute rubbish”. Me: “Well the Celtic fans with their hatred for the country they now reside in and alleigance to Ireland makes them the non-indigenous people, say, invaders. They have no wish to assimilate with the local people or their customs, they openly discuss the ultimate goal of wiping out the indigenous population and support violence against them. In what was does that make them different to what your perceived hatred of Israel is based on?”. Him: “The Irish had to come over because of the potatoe famine. They had no choice”. Me: “So the extermination of millions of Jews in the world’s worst case of ethnic cleansing isn’t justification for finding somewhere new to live?” Him: TIMPLOSION Celtic - The Israel of Scotland.

The Ibrox chief released a statement after season tickets went on sale for the 2019/20 campaign. DAVE KING says Rangers are within 'tangible reach' of becoming the 'dominant force in Scottish football again. The Gers chief released a statement to supporters after season tickets went on sale for the 2019/20 season. And he said it has been 'extremely gratifying' to have 'witnessed the progress that has been made over the last year'. King insists Gers playing squad is 'significantly stronger than in recent seasons' as he promised to back Gerrard in the transfer market. Fans will have to fork out extra after season tickets were increased by five per cent with a waiting list for supporters who don't yet own a season book. Full Statement I begin by again offering my most sincere thanks to each and every Rangers supporter for the continued commitment and understanding that you have shown throughout the recent rebuilding of our club. It was never going to be easy and it is extremely gratifying to have witnessed the progress that has been made over the last year. We are now within tangible reach of Rangers becoming the dominant force in Scottish football again. Much of the progress on the pitch can be attributed to Mark Allen, Steven Gerrard and their respective management teams. Turning to a young manager was a risk but it was one that Mark and the Board felt we should take because of Steven Gerrard’s football pedigree. Steven’s passion, professionalism and winning mentality has been inculcated throughout the football activities at all levels and we have seen strong benefits from this. Of significance was our first, strong European campaign for many years. The team was heroic at times in battling through four very tough qualifiers and went on to narrowly miss making the knock-out stages. However, the inconsistency that inevitably comes with another new management team and a new group of players was also evident. We saw periods where we were rightly regarded as title contenders, followed by periods of varying quality. However, despite these periods of inconsistency it is clear that the playing squad is significantly stronger than in recent seasons and, importantly for future transfer activity, the overall value of the squad has greatly increased. This is a tribute to the work that Mark, Steven and their management teams have done to improve the process behind player recruitment and their overhaul of the training methods and the general wellbeing of the football squad at all levels and age groups. The team requires a further upgrade and the Board will continue to back Mark and Steven, who fully understand that Rangers must win titles and cups and plans are already in place for recruitment in the summer window. Rangers has always been a leader on and off the pitch. Apart from the aim of amassing titles and trophies, being part of Rangers as a fan, player, manager or director means we conduct ourselves in a specific manner. Our club often comes under unfair attack and we are relentless in working hard behind the scenes, and up front when necessary, to make sure we are given the respect our club and our massive support deserves. But we will not engage in unseemly debates through the media. Conducting ourselves with dignity is a part of who we are and it is up to us to set standards. However, in doing this, we will not allow ourselves to be treated differently or held to a different set of rules. The institution that is Rangers Football club is special and has a unique place in football history as having won – by quite some distance – more trophies than any other club in the world. We must now start adding to this record but can only achieve this by remaining together and being stronger in our unity than other clubs. This season, a record number of season tickets were sold and it would be remarkable if we could again hit that number as we lay the foundations for what we hope will be the season which sees Rangers triumphant again. Your Board is committed to providing further funding and we are also asking for supporters’ help through renewing season tickets, which will increase in cost by only 5%. We feel this is not an excessive increase and every fan should know that the season-ticket revenue will solely go towards the first-team squad. We have also witnessed a significant advancement at the Academy under the guidance of Craig Mulholland and his team. This was evidenced by our under-17s who went to Qatar and won the prestigious Alkass Cup. This triumph – and the fact that more than 20 of our players across all age groups were called up for international duty recently – are clear signs that the Academy is doing a terrific job. Rangers is a massive club and our importance demands that we contribute to the broader community as a whole. No club in the country does more to help those less fortunate than we do. The Rangers Charity Foundation’s work goes mostly unheralded but through its various education, health and well-being, employability, diversity and inclusion programmes (as well as many others) it continues to be a force for good and has eased the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who need help in so many ways. In order to further boost our charitable activities we are proud, for the first time, to have included a £2 donation for the Rangers Charity Foundation as part of the Season Ticket payment. I know that all fans will support this initiative to help others. I sincerely hope that you will renew your season ticket for 2019/20 and thank you in advance for your continued support. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4124732/dave-king-rangers-tangible-reach-dominant-force-scottish-football/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1555320989

18 in the Govan Rear 16 everywhere else.

What words did they struggle with? Season? Tickets?

The OP disqualified signings from the Juniors, or him and Sam English would be straight into the side.

For me the litmus test for Davis is to be able to control the midfield against Celtic at Ibrox.

First name that came to mind was Bobby Russell at 200 pounds sterling from Shettleston Harriers IIRC.

I have exercised my franchise too.

Looks like another kicking from the fat man and another huge bill to pay his legal fees, I think we need a better legal team .

McGregor came to us straight from a boys club, I'm not sure he qualifies for this team.

Im going to need to think about this one. But Allan McGregor goes straight into goal. Next will have to do a too expensive XI. Stephen Wright, Michael Ball, Tore Andrew Flo come straight to mind. How much did Guivarch cost? This one should be easy to do.

He is in my team. One I meant to mention and came straight to me the other day and I forgot to post it because I was too busy putting a playing XI: JARDEL. Brazilian who was sitting in the stands one game reportedly had signed - how frustrating was that!

This thing will never be resolved without some form of Islamic enlightenment because it’s not about land or any perceived suffering of any group it’s about nothing but a nazi like Jew hatred and no amount of negotiation is going to change that.

TWO more wins could seal the SPFL Reserve League for Rangers after they defeated Celtic at Firhill this afternoon thanks to a Glenn Middleton double. https://rangers.co.uk/news/academy-news/res-celtic-0-2-rangers/

Voted! Since Frankie mentioned me on the podcast over the great Ajax academy myth I will try and write a post when I get back home next week to put it up for discussion.

It's not really that interesting. A bland statement that the club must win something and plans for recruitment are in place? It would be interesting if he hadn't said it but it's just standard season ticket renewal phrases that we've heard every season for the past 30 years.

They - or let`s say the modern day semi-ultra version of them rather than your average football supporter - are in many ways just a hypocritic bunch of "against-anything", "against authorities" semi-leftish anarchists, much like their brethren at FC St. Pauli. Of course, "if they knew their history", they would know that the Jews actually hailed from Judea, virtually the exact place they shared - back in the day - with the local Arabian (or whatever) population of the Southern Levante, before the region was renamed (and not de-populated) by the Romans when the Jews grew too bold. That many fled the region before and after is also known ... and when you actually read the history of the Jewish people, you wonder why the Scum support holds the Palestinians so dear, but not the Jews? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora#Roman_destruction_of_Judea But hey, Israel was "invented" by the British Empire, as was Iraq et al, so it must be evil. Incidentally, that the Palestinains use heinous terror attacks on civilians is swept equally under the carpet as the IRA terrorism against the British people. Some sort of killing people simply is the correct version, the "freedom-fighting" killing of people than the other versions of terrorism. If that confuses you, you are lucky since you are a pretty normal person.
