McGregor, c2006?

I wonder what percentage of the 'worldwide audience' have stopped watching these matches because of the reduced allocation(s). That's a rhetorical question because I couldn't give a toss. Give. Them. Nothing.

Surely there has to be a loan fee

A fair point but we do have the situation now where ourselves and Celtc are so far ahead of the opposition that we just expect (generally speaking) to win every match. Celtc have been swatting the other teams aside with ease since 2012, so a draw or loss now is far worse than it was 15, 20 or 30 years ago.

Hagi going on loan for free is pigheaded & stupid. He would start every game for me. Before I'm asked, there is not one player I would not drop for Hagi. Roofe should also start every game.

I’m very pleased. It’s two points lost for them. It helps Rangers but that’s all it is. Look at it another way. Will they fail to win in three consecutive games?

Why are we gloating over them drawing? It's cringeworthy.

I assume you don’t sit in the Broomie? Why should I give up my seat to a supporter of another team? I have no interest in a ticket for the Brendanbowl.

I think we are making a mistake with Hagi.

Good luck to Hagi on his loan. AFAIK he’s still under a long contract with Rangers so hopefully he’ll get plenty game time with Alaves to convince MB that he should be part of the Rangers starting XI.

Good luck to Hagi. I hope he gets lots of game time and shows the Rangers management what he is capable of. I also hope that Hagi wants to come back.

Agreed. It seems crazy that we'd let him go on loan without one. I was thinking at least £1 million.

Not at all, i'm hoping we win every game, come third in the CL group stages and win the league and domestic cups. But under Beale I am expecting failure, and so I dont want to lose someone I value as one of our better players who is contracted for another 3 years and IMO could do us a very good job because this manager's ego gets in the way when i personally dont believe he will be manager past Xmas. Of course the way Brenda is going across the road may well mean Beale gets more leeway. 2 wins in the next week and I will be having massive amounts of humble pie, with a huge grin on my face!

As regards Hagi, a 6 month loan will probably be sufficient to see the back of Beale and then a new manager will hopefully see the talent there and not be so pig-headed and egotistical and just use Hagi properly.

A - Use him. B - Sell him. C - Loan with obligation to buy. D - Loan with option to buy. E - Loan with nothing. F - Let him rot in the B-team. G - Release him. Personally, I'm A. However, if the manager doesn't want to use him, then it should be B, then C or D with fines if they decide against. E is stupid. IMO.

I think it's stupid not to use him, but even if we don't want him, we should sell. We're just running down his contract and value to us.

This is stupid:

They think that accusing us of killing our club is the way to get us to change our minds over their ticket allocation? And just in case we had forgotten that their support is full of the scum of society, they decided to bring the banner out in the 66th minute. The banner and the group behind it are fully sanctioned and supported by their club and their directors. Hopefully Bisgrove quickly realises that their club is a disease from top to bottom and never returns to the negotiating table.

700 or nothing it’s their choice, never ever again give them the Broomie.

Absolutely no way should they ever get the whole Broomloan again

What you're actually saying is you would be happy for Rangers fans to be denied a seat in our own stadium and for Celtic fans to occupy those seats instead. That might be acceptable if thousands of Ibrox seats were otherwise normally empty at OF games but that's never going to be the case. What I cannot understand is wanting to treat Celtic differently compared with other Scottish clubs ..... because we want to impress a global audience who otherwise couldn't give a stuff about Rangers. If that mob ever get the whole Broomloan stand again then the club will have let down the Rangers support big time.

It is what it is. I don't see the point in getting too hung up about it - let's just see what develops (here and in Spain). I'm sure most would agree about Roofe but he's very, very injury prone.

I wouldn't mind giving them the full Broomie again, as long as we got the same location at their midden, not stuck in the corner with restricted views. The only reason we have a famous fixture (and the worldwide interest) is the atmosphere and rivalry at these fixtures, which has been diluted since the allocations were restricted. The poisonous atmosphere is a sellable asset and while the SPFL couldnt sell water in a desert this is still the best change we have of getting bigger tv deals which is what we all need. On the basis that it seems really unlikely that we will ever return to this, I can definitely see a return to around 1000 tickets each, and for me this has to be up in the rear of the club deck out of sight of the cameras. Police it properly and it should be no problem. Sell the season tickets accordingly like we used to do, which was effectively a ST for all home games apart from the OF games.

Being in the Spanish top flight is an excellent shop window right enough (assuming that he gets a game).

Well, aye it's hypothetical? I'll cover all bases and say he what if he flops at Alaves, camps out on the bench and no one wants to take him? Or he has a good loan, Barca come in with a £30m bid after he puts on a masterclass at the Spotify arena and we're laughing. No loan fee is stupid granted but the actual loan is fine imo, we're not short in that area.

Just checked it was 2005/2006 he was loaned to St Mirren. So basically same time as McGregor.

So you are hoping we fail just to get Hagi back in the squad. Wow....

I think we can assume there will be interested clubs, if he's made available. We had a link a few pages ago from Israel. I still think it's stupid. We're wasting his value, IMO. Edit: He has a longer contract than I thought, so it's not as bad, but I still think that it is stupid.

Absolutely, or if he does really well with regular playing time on loan, we could have a player back that would be like a new signing. Or we sell him for more money (Tillman a good example)

Again we are assuming someone wants to buy him. He is either gonna sit on the sidelines at Ibrox not playing or he is going to go on loan to someone and play. We have a better chance to sell him if he is playing regularly surely?

Having watched the Roofe goal a few times now it's actually an incredible goal, a pure natural strikers goal

Agreed, they're looking shite and we're growing every game, pump them next week, the latrine brigade will have the anti brenda banners oot at their next game. INTAE THUM!

Why would we give them 15% of our stadium when we only get 12.5% of their stadium it makes no sense to me. Stick to 700 tickets if they don't want them fair enough but if they want full allocation 7500 15% of ibrox we should receive any equal proportion of their stadium 9000 tickets 15% of their stadium.

When the political leadership in Scotland is no longer dependent on the Irish catholic community to win and retain power.

I note he is from Wyoming, retains a house in Yellowstone. I suspect the Bears, Yogi and Bobo have been working on him. Halstead should be told, life at Rangers is no picnic basket.
