  1. This was always going to happen so enjoy the scenes instead of getting upset about it. It's not ideal and I can understand why folk might be annoyed but if I were 20 years old and lived in Glasgow, I'd be there too so I'm not going to be a hypocrite about it. It's like saying we shouldn't have ran on the pitch at Pittodrie 35 years ago. Let's get back into the real world.

  5. Of course not directly but breaking the law is breaking the law. And winning a title after many years is winning a title after many years. CV19 is a horrible, horrible thing. People have died and lives have been ruined. No-one is downplaying that and I absolutely agree that congregating in hundreds isn't something of praise. However, we both know it was going to happen so there's absolutely no reason to be upset. Relax and enjoy these moments Smile. Laugh. Even cry. Just don't be angry as we have enough to be stressed about by also adding a few footballs fans whose team is their life letting themselves go during one of the most difficult post-war periods in living memory.

  7. I've got mixed feelings about it, I'd be a liar if I didn't say that I got a bit emotional watching the video of Gerrard arriving at Ibrox, I closed the kitchen door so the missus wouldn't see me! Football has been one solid factor that has carried me through this fucking pandemic, seeing those scenes kind of reminds you what life was like.

  8. I know his auld man, played against him many times in the juniors and he is a Rangers fan, and so is Kenny, can't explain why he went to the dark side for a while???, however regardless what anyone thinks of him he always gave his all and was a good player for Rangers.

  9. Nine years ago the late Sandy Jardine was an inspiration as our club fought for its very survival. Sandy must be looking down tonight a very proud man indeed. God bless and thanks Sandy. This has been a long time coming and your efforts will never be forgotten.

  10. I have deliberately avoided tempting fate and as an older bear have waited patiently until I can say we are the champions, today after the game I finally said it to my Mrs, my boys and my extended family, we have waited so long and went from the lowest league with no money to rightful champions again, never in my time have I ever felt as proud and happy to see us back where we belong

  11. Can't take seriously this stuff about "just one more point". Today was the day we won the league. The day when we couldn't lose it was over a month ago. We don't need any more points but I'm sure we'll get plenty in the games still to play, starting next weekend.

  13. Find it difficult not to like Kenny Miller and though he and Wallace were treated shabily by the club. Two who I'll remember fondly and thank them for playing their part in our journey back to the top. Kenny scored so many important goals in his times at Ibrox and always gave his all (if only others could say the same) even when the team were struggling. Had pleasure of seeing him and Boyd at a Q&A and both spoke well. No doubts from this Bear as to where Kennys loyalties lie.

  20. I’m absolutely disgusted at those scenes. There is a feckin lockdown in force to prevent people dying. The selfishness on show by those idiots only goes to ensure it is longer until we can all get back to the games. I have suffered like the rest of us and am desperate to celebrate our long awaited title and the completion of a 9 year journey back to where we belong. I was at Brechin at the start, at Stirling when we lost for the first time in the 4th tier, at Alloa to see us knocked out the diddy cup, I gave up my ST and a fantastic seat to try to get rid of the spivs, I was in Luxembourg to see the worst ever defeat in our history, and I am desperate to be in attendance when we win the title but am resigned to the fact that I won’t be. There will be plenty of time to celebrate when the restrictions are eased, until then we just have to celebrate at home. That is utterly crap, but it is the only acceptable way to do it. I was highly critical of the bheasts for their antics at Hampden, and I am hugely disappointed that we are doing the same, although where the groin brigade wannabes are concerned I shouldn’t have been surprised. This has their hallmark all over it.

  23. Big Dick was stuck between a rock and a hard place today. Couldn't wait to bring up the scenes at Ibrox, but instead of his usual gang of miscreants, Ferguson, McCall and Dodds were his buddies, all agreeing that 'you canny really blame these fans, after the years they've had'. He even agreed, but you could hear him choking back the bile. Up ye ya c###

  33. Yeah, I think it's ok to accept there will be mixed feelings about it, mixed feelings between one another and mixed feelings within ones-self. One thing for sure is that I haven't felt as excited for a football match in ages after seeing it.

  35. It's inappropriate in the current climate, but I can't really blame them after 10 years of pain and hurt - same with Liverpool last season. However... AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL IT'S WON! FOUR POINTS!

  37. Wullie Miller was born and bred in Bridgeton. Those that schooled with him agree, he was a Rangers supporter. In saying that, he has utilised the platform provided by BBC Scotland on several occasions to give thanks for his perception of good fortune. He was signed by Aberdeen on an S Form and resided in Aberdeen from the age of 15 years. His continual conditioning is such, he happily tells of being removed from the pressures of sectarianism. Reference Roy Greenslade and the Guardian's apology to Mairia Cahill, there is a grouping of arch feminists who would normally be storming the barricades over such treatment handed out to sister, quite rightly so. However, the likes of Lesley Riddoch, Anna Smith, Jeanette Findlay, Angela Haggerty, ...... etc have said? You will find the answer at the centre of a dougnut. Actually, you'll find the majority of those gals have homes/holiday homes in the same coastal Donegal village as Roy.

  38. Founder Peter Campbell was born at Garelochhead on the 6th March 1857. Peter came from a more privileged background than his fellow Pioneers. His father John was a harbour master, his mother Mary was sister of Sir James Jenkins, honorary surgeon to Queen Victoria. The family home was “Craigellan”, a large sandstone villa in the lochside village of Garelochhead. A life on the ocean wave was always seemingly inevitable for the youngest of our founders given the sea-faring family to which he belonged but it was the ocean wave that tragically claimed his life at the age of 25. In the early 1870’s Peter moved to Glasgow and joined the Barclay Curle shipyard as an apprentice. When he and his friends Peter and Moses McNeil and William McBeath struck upon the idea of forming a football club it was no doubt a welcome release from the Clyde-side for Peter. He served a five-year apprenticeship with Barclay Curle and a further two years as a journeyman until 1879 while playing for the newly-formed Rangers. He was one of the better players in the fledgling side. Indeed he was described in annuals of the time as one of most outstanding players of the period. Like his fellow founders, Campbell played in that first match in May 1872 and went on to become a pivotal player for Rangers. Campbell, who was vice-captain of Rangers, played for Glasgow against Sheffield in 1876 when he and Moses became the first Rangers players to gain representative honours.He scored five goals in the 1876/77 Cup campaign when Rangers made it all the way to their first final but as previously described they agonisingly lost 3-2 in a second replay to Vale of Leven. His last match for Rangers was a Scottish Cup tie against the dominant Queen’s Park which was lost 5-1 in September 1879 and then he became one of the first Scottish players to move to England when he joined Blackburn Rovers and played for them briefly before hanging up his boots. The smell of the salt was too strong in his nostrils. He is said to have had seven spells at sea with the London-based merchant ship Margaret Banks in the next three years and then, fatefully, he was on board the St Columba which was bound for Bombay with coal when it left Penarth in South Wales in January 1883.In horrific weather the boat never got past the Bay of Biscay off western France and Peter was pronounced drowned on March 3.The youngest of our founders died aged just 25. On Saturday 22nd July 2017, after a period of negotiation with Penarth Council, we unveiled a memorial plaque at Penarth Pier to commemorate the life of Peter Campbell and his contribution in the formation of Rangers Football Club.The memorial was funded by our Restoration of Rangers Graves Project. We’re fortunate to have something more tangible to remember Peter Campbell by.He was a member of the first Rangers’ side to win a trophy, the Glasgow Merchants’ Charity Cup in 1879,and there’s an incredible story behind the medal that Peter won that day. Fellow Rangers supporter William Mason contacted us to tell of how one of his friends had found this medal belonging to Peter Campbell in a park in East Kilbride in 1968. A few years ago his friend loaned the medal to Rangers and Peter Campbell’s medal is on display in the Blue Room at Ibrox. This is a permanent reminder of the contribution Peter Campbell made in forming our great Club. Today as we charge towards our 55th League title we remember Founder Peter Campbell.
