Blackburn is a wonderful, wonderful club and I hope he doesn't go... #JujuLoyal

Matron will be around soon to tuck us in 😅

I think that you could sell that idea to Channel 5.

Right, I've been down a rabbit hole coming up with all sorts of predicted figures depending on what sort of run we go on. Here's what we're going into the competition with atm: https://www.football-coefficient.eu/team/322-rangers-fc/ It's pretty healthy and I think we're pot 1. Imo we should aim for 5 wins to get into the play offs, that's accounting for 4 home games and 2 games against pot 4 sides. We probably want 6 to get top 8 though. It's the unknown though so go out and try and win all 8, we are Rangers! (And we love a Thursday night at Ibrox...hopefully!) Here's an explainer for the format: Now I've said before that missing out on the UCL does have the sliver lining of us being veterans of the UEL and getting into the KO stages. We are currently ahead of Celtic in the 10 year and 5 year coefficient and if we perform well in Europe this season we will more than likely pull away unless they have a blinder in the UCL. What needs to happen in the next few seasons is having at least one season, if not several, in the UCL whilst we've got priority for the share of money in Scotland. We could hit 100+ points in the 10 year ranking if we perform well enough in the near future, which would have us on a par with the likes of PSV and Salzburg. Which, imo, is what the aim should have always been the last few years. If that happens it is imperative we capitalise on it. Now this is a big old caveat which gets thrown out the window because I and everyone else want Rangers to win the league and be at the table of the best competition in football as well as the caveat that Celtic have all the honey whilst we plan accordingly with another UEL budget (which should be the case when we do qualify for the UCL btw). Lots of ifs, buts and maybes but I'm looking forward to the campaign, like the ones that have gone before it could be blessed relief from the domestic slog. Let me know what you think, I'll include a prize money calculator that I've been rinsing the last week - always look forward not back! Cheers lads. https://www.fotcalc.com/prize-money-calculator-post-24 Oh, also.. UCL= Uefa Champions League UEL= Uefa Europa league KO= Knockout And apologies to @Rousseau for the aneurysm, theres a lot of lofty hypotheticals ha.

Prepare yourself for Europa League humiliation.

Of all the players linked, I like the sound of Josip Brekalo. He's just turned 26 and can play both wings as well as the 10 position. Any player that has managed to gain 35 caps for Croatia over the last 6 years must be of a decent standard IMO.

I remember a time when there were no international teams. Changed ends after every goal then. Good times...

Jermaine Jenas sacked by BBC for 'workplace conduct.' This pleases me...

Anything is surely better than the B team playing endless friendlies. The cynic in me thinks this will go nowhere though

I remember the time when we didn’t have to.

Ngl we do need a new 10. Lawrence will be the end of me if he's the pick for the foreseeable. Bloke can't or won't run.

Wait, what!? I thought they were downtrodden victims, formed by a selfless bloke, who just happened to be part of a decadent, global cult.

Before ra Sellik had even played a match, they had purchased the original Sellik Park and constructed two grandstands. The first game to happen on the ground was an exhibition match between Hibs and Renton. In the aftermath of the game, Sellik signed the better halves of both sides before playing their first match against Rangers reserves(the Swifts). Remember, Scottish football had been on the go for a quarter of century and was firmly amateur. Did the cash rich club that could afford their own ground and two grandstands offer all those Renton and Hibs players an incentive to sign? We should be told.

You're all wrong, it's 1979, that strip is recognised by FIFA as the greatest Scottish Cup Winning strip, Michel Platini told me that himself. Technically we sort of won the 1879 final too, well, we drew the final then complained about the refereeing, (plus ca change) and the SFA awarded the cup to Vale of Leven. So the Tims used to wear stripes, who knew!

I thought he was going to Breast, feel like a tit now.

Wrong socks, which is why I picked '76.

Haven’t we got enough wingers? what about LB where ridvan is injured once again? We’ve only got Jefte & the untried Fraser. Were still short in MF where we’ve been playing the immobile Lawrence and Tav fills me with fear at RB as he gets beaten so easily Ideally a few will go but I’m beginning to dread already the visit next week to the BJK arena

It must be bad if the BBC sacked him

I don't dislike him, but I want a #10...

I've found the reason why we're not winning trophies:

Problem is if he hasn't got the pace running back the way he won't have it going forward. I'd much rather have him on the bench, Sterling at RB and rotate between Cerny and McCausland. But Dujon has hamstrings made of empire biscuits. Ideally Devine would be a level or two better than he is currently but alas, that's not the case.

We will probably not lose him this window, so Clement should look at converting him to his beloved right-midfield role and put some defender behind him. As I suggested a few times, make that Sterling, Souttar and Pröpper in a 3-man defence, one DM and let the rest have fun.

So much furore about our captain, one of the greatest right-backs ever at the club, stats-wise. You would assume that scores of clubs would look at him, given the stats and the hero status. And yet ...

There’s trophies and cups and for me this is one beautiful cup and would be a pleasure to lift

The Green Grassy Slopes of the.......where?

The title does say 'winning strip'. Please don't remind us of 2016. ☹️

Strong rumours of Matondo to Blackburn, that absolute dump is probably a good place for him tbh.

I instantly thought of the 1979 strip, but like Frankie, it has to be the 92/93 strip. My favourite of all time.

I think there is a limit of 2 players on loan from same club per season and 4 on loan in total. Otherwise aye, buy a diddy team like Clyde under a myriad of shell companies to get around duel ownership and use it to develop players.

Agree, but was my fav top probably because it was the first one i ever owned although had to hand sewn the badge on.🤣

No excuses now I hear all the steel is on site

Forgot about the 1964 blue and white stripes. It looked brilliant but for occasional use only.

I usually prefer the plain blue tops with v neck collar but the 1992/93 strip remains my personal favourite.
