The Chairman Souness idea is just daft. Not because he's past it or because he's not a Rangers man ... but because he's not an experienced board chairman. Nor is there any sense in this idea that the chairman needs to have financial pull. He doesn't. That's a mentality that became entrenched under the Murray dictatorship when one man ran the club and personally took all major decisions. That's not the role of a chairman in any normal corporate structure. In many cases the chairman doesn't even have any executive role in the company. His role as chairman is to ensure the board fulfils its legal, fiscal and corporate obligations and to ensure board meetings are conducted Ian effective manner. There's no benefit as I see it for the chairman to have Rangers connections. Good if he does but someone who has experience running successful companies or financial institutions would be acceptable. The person who needs to have financial pull is usually the finance director but it can be anyone on the board and is often a non-executive director appointed by the board for that specific reason. That's not to say there isn't a place for Graeme Souness on the Rangers board. In my mind he would make a good appointment as a non exec director, not because he used to be our manager but because of his media and international football connections. All of the above depends of course on Rangers having adopted a normalised form of governance and has ditched any residual structures from the Murray years.

Wonder if Coronavirus will be built into it and when a season can't be completed if it just gives the team at the top the title or if it is declared null and void

Souness as chairman could attract investors.

The idea of grasping for an incomplete league title becomes more squalid with every step we take into this dreadful crisis.

Seems to me everything is going as planned, COVID-19 apart of course!. King stepped up and took the club back off the SPIVS, him & the 3 bears not only have done an excellent job I am in no doubt they saved Rangers and I think we all thank them for that for sure.

KT was a far better player than Brown. Unlucky with injuries and unlucky with our financial situation at the time.

It's beginning to look like there might not be any football for at least 13 weeks that's us almost into July no one knows which way this virus is going to go so the league should be cancelled.

Hey look @Rousseau Ian found it

Once we're back at work this is something that we will pursue.

Wise words @Bill. With luck this will ensure that we only dedicate 20 pages to debating Souness as chairman.

wonder if there will be a 20/21 game on football manager ?

I remember that day my son and I were going to the bowling club to watch when he said he wanted to put a bet on Rangers first scorer and I suggested Kevin Thomson. He laughed at my suggestion and bet on someone else and me being a non-betting person did not put a bet on,still it was nice to be correct.?

I can’t remember Dazzler. One of the Germans? Or Dalziel? Centre half is Johnnie Valentine. Actually, I’m beginning to feel sorry for him. I’ve been excoriating him for more than sixty years. To him and his family I apologise. Still pick him for the worst XI, though.

No. We need a real Rangers man with the financial and political pull needed. Park might be that man. Souness is a has-been.

A more than adequate replacement for "slim Jim" as you say also a cultured left foot.

This topic is the best XI but the best team: The names in capitals are the optimum combination. The guys in brackets all played a part at one time or another, mostly with distinction. (Niven) RITCHIE (Little) SHEARER CALDOW (Provan) (Davis) GREIG (Paterson) McKINNON BAXTER ( (Stevenson) (Scott) HENDERSON McMILLAN. (McLean) (Murray) MILLAR (Forrest) BRAND (Hubbard) WILSON That’s the team I call the Rangers.
