A more pertinent question would be why on Earth did we bring him back?5 points

Looks like a meeting to convert debt for equity and fulfill takeover panel requirements. https://rangers.co.uk/news/club/rifc-plc-notice/4 points

Dick by Name. "Edinburgh Zoo have accepted the transfer of Rangers player, Filip Sebo, they plan to exhibit him". It's almost fifteen years ago now, but the above was an e-mail received by BBC Scotland's 'Through the Window' programme. Big Dick presented the show, the transfer window was closing and BBC Radio Scotland had reporters around the country, past the bewitching hour. It was a slow night and Big Dick had received the e-mail early, he hummed and hawed over broadcasting it, but kept chuckling. He told us he intended clearing it with his Producer, and after midnight would tell us the contents of the e-mail. On hearing the contents, I thought he was just flashing his credentials as a Rangers hater. Today, I have read Big Dick's SPL Premiership team of the season 2018-19, it confirms the hate remains strong. Joe Lewis again proved he is the best keeper in the country. Allan McGregor performed well for Rangers, but was let down by on going disciplinary problems. Daniel Bachmann was the other serious contender for the number one spot. My full backs are Rangers skipper, James Tavernier who improved defensively and remains a menace going forward, and Greg Taylor who had an outstanding season and looks to have a bright future. Craig Halkett and Stuart Findlay form a rock solid central defensive partnership. The outgoing Livingston captain should be an excellent signing for Hearts, while Findlay must be in the running for international honours. I had a list of about fifteen other defenders to choose from, including the likes of Max Lowe, Scott McKenna, Andrew Considine, Paul Hanlon, Jason Kerr, David Gray, but the quartet I picked were the top performers. The midfield was the toughest area to whittle down, Killie trio Alan Power, Gary Dicker, Chris Burke, Celtic captain, Scott Brown, Scott Arfield and Ryan Kent were among plenty I considered, but I am more than happy with the four I have gone with. MY LINE-UP PROBABLY LACKS A BIT OF BALANCE but I have selected the best midfield in the country across a season. Callum McGregor was the outstanding talent in Scottish football for me, a player with the touch and vision to stand out at the highest level, and always a joy to watch. Lewis Ferguson came to the fore on day one for the Dons and very quickly established himself, and Graeme Shinnie put in another highly consistent season, and thoroughly deserves his place. At the tip of my diamond, it has to be David Turnbull, who exploded on to the scene and reeled off a series of dynamic performances, capped by a fifteen goal haul. The least competitive area of my team was up front. I considered Eamonn Brophy but half his goal haul were penalties. Osdonne Edouard peaked for the big games, but lacked consistency and Alfredo Morelos would be more of a liability than an asset. James Forrest was a stick on, so I would give him a flexible role supporting Dons top marksman, Sam Cosgrove. Had he converted that late penalty at Easter Road, then Big Sam would have finished as the Premiership's joint top scorer, and given where he came from at the start of the campaign, his final tally was a remarkable achievement. Thus Big Dick choose, Lewis, Tavernier, Taylor, Halkett, Findlay, McGregor, Ferguson, Shinnie, Turnbull, Forrest, and Cosgrove. Four players from the fourth finishing Dandies, two apiece from Killie and ra Sellik, and one each from Livi, 'Well, and Rangers. The official BBC Scotland Premiership team has five Rangers : McGregor, Tavernier, Arfield, Kent, and Morelos. Reference, "the goal machine"(it's how the Dandies on the Beeb refer to Cosgrove), how many penalties has he converted in failing to achieve joint top scorer status?2 points

Very odd. If someone has entered into a contract without sense-checking the details then some serious questions need to be answered.2 points

Maybe they mean that they don't know whether to just write out a cheque for the £20m or send it electronically.2 points

In hindsight we would have been better leaving him at Tynecastle and he might have done more damage for us there1 point

Seems his off-field antics as well as his lack of application have finally seen the Gaffer lose patience. It seems the game vs Liverpool U23's a couple of months back was the final straw. Lafferty wasn't even making the squad in the final few weeks.1 point

It’s probably new age heresy but I couldn’t care less what the shirt (I refuse to call it a ‘top’) looks like. So long as it’s predominantly blue (or orange), the fashion statement stuff is all bollocks.1 point

Hopefully this is ok to post this here. If any of you are in need of even more football chat to keep you going, I suggest you listen to the Football Daft podcast. It's run by Ewan Cameron and Grado, and I laughed out loud on a few occasions. The various BBC programmes as we know are a disaster, biased, and boring. This however is great fun and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I've just listened to the first pod where they had Kris Commons on. He was really good on it and great fun too. Give it a listen.1 point

A team with not a single non Brit in the starting 11 or on the bench. Changed days. Plus when John O'Hare came on in the 67th minute to replace Gary Mills there were 5 Scots on the field.1 point
