I'm hearing Kenny McLean is a done deal. No other details on it though.

Apparently Kelly didn't have the best of seasons last year, so I doubt he's been brought in as a replacement for Butland. It really appears that he's a replacement for McCrorie.

We've already got one assistant manager, don't we?

Why would we have to move to Murrayfield? Presumably we can still use the other 3 stands, so our capacity would be reduced to 42K for some games that we can't switch to the away ground.

Playing 5 in defence against one striker is laighable.

I don't recall ever seeing a story from him that I hadn't seen elsewhere first, but can't recall the specifics of the Sakala one. As you say, very hit or miss.

Premier Sports bought Viaplay’s UK sports broadcasting business and is rebranding Viaplay Sports 1 and 2 under its own banner.

Agreed. It is good to have a museum and to have NEH, but did it really have to be at the cost of selling off our land around the stadium? Surely it could have been financed in some other way, perhaps over a longer period of time.

The ongoing work in the stadium is great, but selling off a large part of the Albion is so frustrating. We've owned it for many years and it's part of our history. For the directors to sell it off to finance their (perhaps needed) vanity project of NEH is short-sighted. Future generations will lose whatever benefit they may have had from it. It'll be gone forever once it's sold for flats.

The CEO will take his instructions from the PLC board as to the level of confrontation. Also we may not know the level of confrontation. It may be that they think that doing it privately may be more effective, even if it doesn't assuage parts of our support.

Robbed in an OF games yet again. Thought we were the better team and unlucky to lose.

Thanks for organising and keeping it going each week @Rousseau

Rangers 1 - 3 Celtic Tav I may change this prior to kick off but just want to put in something in case I don't get the chance tomorrow as I'm away.

Does extra time count?

I did in the last game lol.

Haven't decided who I'm going for yet, mate, so there's always a chance 🙂

Hearts 1 - 2 Rangers FGS Dessers

Yeah, my wee cousin just got a cheque in the post unexpectedly.

My wee cousin won £4K on the lotto a few weeks ago.

Absolutely. Over the course of the season, he's been our best outfield player. However, it's just really difficult to forgive the red card and the suggestion that he just wanted out of there. He did look as if he'd checked out. It's more than "a very poor 45min performance".

Best players were Cantwell, Silva and Raskin, and I'd go for Cantwell. FWIW I thought McCausland had a poor first half, other than the goal, but did improve in the second.

Rangers 2 - 1 Dundee FGS Dessers

That is unfortunately the current outlook. The board always said that the investment would be front loaded and that resulted in us getting 55 and Seville. There's little to no further investment on the horizon as far as I can see. We now need to be self-sustaining and that's going to be limiting. We had a chance this season and we did remarkably well to win our Europa group and claw back the deficit, but it just fell away from us at the end, for whatever reason...partly overperforming and partly injuries (and other reasons). Not winning the league this season allows them to invest bigger and it's going to be more difficult to overtake them. I'm not sure that there are further investors out there who will be willing to invest significant sums in a club in Scotland, so we need to manage our resources better and hope for a bit of luck but we're still suffering from the legacy of being sent down the leagues and it will take some clever handling by the management team to claw it back overt the next few years.

@Rousseau I also got the correct number of Rangers goals.
