On the 16th February 1935 Rangers legend Tom Vallance died at the family home at 189 Pitt Street Glasgow aged 78. Tom is buried in Hillfoot Cemetery in Bearsden,his funeral was attended by Mr. Struth, Chairman James Bowie and his old team-mate James McIntyre who both took a cord. Incredibly, players from the Vale of Leven team whom Tom had faced 60 years earlier in 1877 were also in attendance. That will give you an indication as to how highly regarded Tom Vallance was. Tom was paid the ultimate accolade by the Club in May 1898 when he was made a life member of the Rangers. In 2012 we had Tom put on to canvas by way of a painting by artist Helen Runciman which was unveiled at Ibrox Stadium at the end of our Founders Trail. Tom Vallance took his rightful place at the top of the Marble Staircase alongside his friends and fellow Founders. Some facts on Tom Vallance: Tom Vallance had an incredible 60 year association with his Club that he loved. He was a master oarsman, a champion athlete (he set a Scottish long jump record of over 21 feet), he studied at the Glasgow School of Art, had paintings accepted by the Royal Scottish Academy and was Rangers Club Captain and President for many years. While President of the Club it was not uncommon to find Tom Vallance working the turnstiles on match day at First Ibrox. In 1890 he was the owner of the Club Restaurant at 22 Paisley Road Toll which today is the Viceroy Bar. We have recorded details of Tom Vallance being present at the ceremony held on 1st January 1929 which saw the opening of the Main Stand at Ibrox and also at a Dinner held in the old St.Enoch’s Hotel after a Rangers match in 1933, he was also a guest of the Club that year for the New Year’s day game against Celtic.So, the lad who was present at Fleshers Haugh in 1872 was still attending Ibrox some 60 years later where the Club that he’d helped form and nurture were now playing in front of crowds touching 100,000. His final resting place at Hillfoot Cemetery was restored last year. Today we remember the great Tom Vallance.

We can barely hear Spiers these days, his last, shallow, rattling breaths continue to roll across the Fenwick Moors. He is reduced to being a Columnist on a newspaper that barely sells 7,000 copies daily, providing 3 or 4 Podcasts for £3.75 per month, and continuing to be ra Sellik's useful idiot. This latest Tweet is under Peter's orders, he is hoping for clickbait? I hope Rangers supporters refrain from engaging the current Sellik season ticket holder. You will be doing him a favour, allow him time to identify and battle his demons. Ra Bhoy in Corduroy is a right Baptist and his demons arrived 21 years ago. It was the culmination of MON's first season and a dozen Journos who had slavishly adhered to ra Sellik party line, were to be rewarded with a slap-up Beano at One Devonshire Gardens. There was Kevin McKenna, Andrew H Smith, Ewing Grahame, Mark Guidi, Hugh Keevins, Glenn Gibbons, ............. and Graham Spiers. The Odious Creep learned to suck cock, realised he liked dairy products, and these last few years has confirmed his status as Ershur's Big Cheese, the Laird of Dunlop. Don't bother looking for any Spiers reference to THE child sex abuse scandal in Scottish football, he didn't get off his knees. He has a couple of indulgences, firstly running interference on Hearts then young player, Craig Thomson who was convicted of internet grooming a 13-14 year old girl. Graham thought the means of communication was the problem, and not the beast operating the keyboard. Then there was Graham Rix, mitigation provided again, without request. Graham himself feels abused by David Murray and today's Tweet is a regurgitation of succulent lamb. Graham has a cover story, he takes his two lads to Parkhead, encouraging their love of football, the way his Dad did, taking him to Ibrox. Peter is going and he wants to cause chaos, he feeds Graham the line that is effectively accusing others, of what you are being accused. It's a line from every Totalitarian regime's Aide Memoire. Graham does this willingly because he is motivated by hatred. Still, hopefully it will earn him a cheese board at the Captain's Table?

Mark Dingwall is reporting that "the five" have tested negative.

Really like the graphics on this: they should actually make the beer mats!

There is no elite bubble Craig, elite sports merely has an exemption when across the line, whether in training, or in a game. At any other time, it's the same rules as us plebs, no bubble.

Who was the 5th ? Testing negative is fine - but they shouldnt have done it regardless. To be fair to them, plenty of people will be ignoring lockdown rules just now - but they should know they will be scrutinised to the nth degree

Patterson's family and his girlfriemd still maintaining that he was not part of this and that they were alone together on Saturday night. https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/19094092.amp/?__twitter_impression=true

I used his words as quote there ?

Two posts doesn't increase your chances!

I imagine they'll need another negative test in a few days before being passed fit for flogging.

Spiers' tantrum Tweet sums up his infantile and deranged hatred of Rangers. As for the club's response to the SFA report, wouldn't it be better to take the necessary time and steps to do the right thing, for the victims first and foremost, than to just issue a largely pointless box-ticking statement. I hope the club do do the right thing.

Someone`s had no sex for a while or tries to endear him for a future job, someone who will surely never set a foot into Ibrox as a journalist ... Graham Spiers @GrahamSpiers While Stewart Robertson, the Rangers MD, bans or bars journalists galore from Ibrox - a hallmark of his time at the club - I am astounded he and Rangers have still not uttered a cheep of regret over historic child sex abuse. That SFA report was 5 days ago now. Sheer cowardice. Maybe I am wrong, but I can think of about 2 or 3 reporters "banned or barred" form Ibrox. "Galore" has a different meaning. Has any of the other clubs mentioned in the report commented on it or offered an apology to anyone?

This is a good listen - but if you are tuning in for a lot of chat on Rangers then don't bother - the majority is about Liverpool and his playing career - still a really good listen. He says that for him to be as good a coach as Michael Beale would take him 15-20 years. I like the way he says he has a very strong coaching staff and he lets the others do what they are experts at whilst he does what he is good at.

Neither does Archie.....

Sorry, I had a bout of man flu and wasn't on much over weekend. Site appears OK this morning, I read the hosts were doing some work over weekend. I will try keep eye on

Agreed, I said similar on another thread that Celtic will struggle to get to Mid 80s Pts so I think we are about 2 wins away.

It’s a fake account mate, pretty pish patter from me, seen it and thought it was funny

As soon as Neil Lennon took over from Brendan Rogers it was almost guaranteed how this would end. Many of us said so at the time. The only question was how long it would take old popcorn teeth to work his brand of magic. Personally, I'd like to thank him for his predictability and for being the one who destroyed the 10 in a row dream. Horrible bastard that he is.

If anyone is still paying for a TV licence then they're effectively endorsing the bBC and how it operates. Surely no one here is in that category???

That is unconscionable.

Turn away now Rousseau...… effectively.... if we are undefeated in the remaining 2 OF games this season.... we only realistically need 2 more wins. Celtic can amass 91 points. If we draw twice in the remaining OF games they can only get to 87 points. If we draw those two games we would be on 81 points. So 6 points (given our superior goal difference) should be sufficient to win the league.....

Well, that's it then. 29 played for us and 28 for them. Last season set the precedent, null and void is now off the table!

Listen! if this is proven to be correct then the players deserve every punishment they get, lucky we had the day off today and this has been reported as happening on Saturday night! so I don't see there being any punishment handed out to the club. Separate Entity FC went on a weeks jolly to Dubai during lockdown and we have yet to see any punishment handed out to them for that! also Duffy left the ''bubble'' by flying home on a commercial flight to London and then play for them the next match, a day later? so for me there is nothing the club could have done to prevent this, it's all on the players who are involved, if true??.

It's clearly something that Rangers felt sufficiently serious to formally acknowledge at the earliest possible opportunity. Beyond that, best not to speculate.

Why make any comment,unless it is to satisfy those on twitter who may have heard or know of something. I for one do not have a phone or other which can connect to these social media sites,although it may be possible to do so on PC. Having had a bad family experience as a result of a social media site I have no wish to connect with any. I enjoy being able to interact on here as in the whole it is a friendly site.
