Scottish nationalism, BLM, the Catholic Church, Islamism, immoderate socialism. They all share the same existential dependence on establishing and maintaining calculated points of grievance. Whether real or imagined, the message and it’s appointed target must be repeated religiously and the media is the vehicle. It’s why it’s so essential that kneeling continues, why the victimhood of Irish Catholics must be fostered at every turn. That Rangers sits at the centre of a community that’s largely intolerant of several of these cults makes us more of a necessary target than almost any other group.

Scotland XI leaked:

Why would it have been poor leadership? On what do you base your assessment that the share price is "about right"? So you're saying issuing shares to Club 1872 at 20p 10 days ago but charging the support a 25% premium is good leadership?

Matchday 2: Finland - Russia Turkey - Wales Italy - Switzerland Ukraine - N. Macedonia Denmark - Belgium Netherlands - Austria Sweden - Slovakia Croatia - Czech Republic England - Scotland Hungary - France Portugal - Germany Spain - Poland

Or go super mental and teach Classics and History in schools. Properly. Not from a critical theory perspective.

I simply cannot fathom nor reason , why players continually get picked for international duty , when they are rank rotten for their clubs , it’s beyond madness in my eyes .

We will get pumped if McGregor plays. When he came on his first contribution was to give the ball away; can't tackle and can only pass sideways. How the hell he got 30 caps is incredible.

If you take a back seat and consider we are in the middle of a World Cup campaign , a campaign that’s already floundering , this tournament should have been a godsend to Clark . He should have used this to get the younger players into the team and settled , given they are away for nearly a month . However what will happen is that he has wasted the first game , will no doubt waste the second game and then , and only then maybe change for the last dead rubber . Fast forward back to the World Cup qualifiers and we are back in a whole heap of trouble , there are players who are miles off form and shouldn’t get near the Scotland team , but ............

This could well end up being Steve Clarke's greatest achievement.

Hope Filip Helander plays tonight

Poor team selection, poor subs, Clarke showing why Killie manager is his level.

The role and responsibility of the leadership at Rangers is to get the best deal for the club. If they (rightly) believe they can achieve a better price for the club then it is their fiduciary duty to do so. Why about right? Well it’s a value judgement that says we can achieve a better price and still sell out the share issue - but too high and we won’t. There’s no right or wrong but the priority is always to sell all the shares. I think they’ve got the balance right.

The conceded goal is preventable. Three minutes to half-time and the Czech's win three corners in ninety seconds. The Czech's scored 11 goals in qualifying, seven from set pieces. Each corner is hit deep, bounces beyond the eighteen yard line. On every occasion there is a waiting Czech player to retain possession. There is also a primed overlap waiting. Thus, three corners awards the Czechs six crosses into our box. So often, football is reduced to the law of averages; keep putting it in there, you'll be rewarded. On the third corner, on the cusp of the sixth ball into the mix in such a short time period; why are we continuing to send one player out(Stephen O'Donnell) to prevent the cross?

Totally agree. It's what happens in a functionally one party state that grew up with the inherently same ideology as those in power. Most you can do is just not get a license. What are you missing?

Easy to say, harder to do. Like shares they're only worth what people are willing to pay for them. If you don't feel it's sufficient, you stick long.

Poor goal for Scotland to lose. I’d need to see again but why is it O’Donnel who goes out wide left to try & stop the cross?

O'Donnell over Patterson...

I'm quite happy to be associated with the Ajax fans in this instance. Not often holidaymakers get involved in clean up operations of this magnitude and let's be honest, the Gallowgate needed sprucing up.

The article seems to base this paragraph on comments from the likes of Humza and Dornan, with no opposing viewpoint taken into account. Poor show from the publicly funded broadcaster, yet again.

Didn’t see the England game but the news channels report a brilliant result and England on course for the final. The modesty is impressive. They’d usually claim to have won it..

Yes, just got mine now - suspect it will take a while for everyone to get these. Priority period open; 25p per share...

if they are happy to stay keep them even if they go for free. Perhaps with the caveat of a really good offer coming in. we could sell 30 million quid of players and lose out on 45 of CL money 2 years running. of course we could keep them and still lose out but we can always sell at that point. we should only be buying players who make us better now. Build on where we are. All that said ultimately the finances will dictate.

Strange, must have been a fall out. Huge pity for Borna.

Thanks Barry - good to see you posting - bizarrely I thought about about a week ago. Hope everything is well. Im actually trying to remain thick on PC things as I dont want to rely on technology for so much. But obviously this was needed.

Oi - I should be above you on alphabetical order - that would put me up the table ? But yeah - slow start, a lot of games to go. Im not have whosthedado top of the league - lucky b****** ?

Well he has been their first choice left back for a few years now including the warm up games so I guess he would have played if fit.

Billy Gilmour could do a job at most big clubs, he could be sensational for us at our domestic level. Very unlikely we will ever see him play in our shirt.

I love the tenor of this article and how well written it is. Its writer knows exactly what is happening. And they are both tactically and strategically spot on. However, it has already conceeded defeat. Why was there so much backlash? Apart from the whole 'look at the bad Brittish on top again", it's because they were scared. After weilding so much power for so long, they found that when it came down to it, to quote JM, "They have the guns, but we have the numbers". It is right a government fears its people. It keeps them in check. Its what the 2nd ammendment in America was intended to ensure. One thing is fore sure, when the squnity bridge started bouncing such that the army couldn't have stopped it without lethal force, they reaised they were up against a force greater than them. There was nothing they could realistically do about it. And as for those the caused trouble? It's quite hard to care over much. The idea (legally) that Rangers could be vicariously liable is so funny, or that Rangers could be liable in any situation which prevails across the entirety of the UK. It's not our job to regulate our own, let people who want to be loved do that - unless it can be done person to person with a quiet reasonable word - we are individuals. We're all accountable for everyone else in a purely mystical sense. You can't placate that which can't be placated - I don't know if you know how deeply routed critical theory is in universities, nothing will satisfy them. I'm happy - but not not sad - there wasn't more trouble, to remind them the majority still has a voice and can mobilise.

Good to be back brother, thanks for reactivating my account - and not holding it against me that I disappeared of a day. Gentleman as ever.

CammyF! Hope all is well with you, my good man. Truly lovely to see you. Yeah, it's been such a while. Good to know I wasn't the only one for whom life killed Gersnet, and his good self Whosthedado was saying. It's amazing to see what this has turned into. Frankie doing - hardly atypically - a good job, as ever.

Magic to have you back either way mate! A living Gersnet legend!

Nathan Young Coombes signs for newly promoted Brentford after his release from Rangers. Good luck to him at Brentford.

If I were fantastically rich and wanted to own a club in the English Premier League, the one club I'd want to buy would be Spurs. The potential is enormous.
