You talking about Lindsay Hamilton?

Who was the last player we signed from Hamilton? Bobby Shearer ?

Sorry Frankie, I have no idea what you’re talking about regrading Twitter posts. Four Lads Had a Dream @4Ladhadadream Positive discussions had tonight & a deal has been thrashed out to bring Greg Docherty home to his boyhood heroes in the region of £600k It will roll over into tomorrow but hopefully all going well & barring no disasters, Greg will be a Rangers player 8:25 pm · 18 Jan 2018

Greg Docherty Update Hamilton Chairman was at a funeral so this has delayed negotiations slightly. However both clubs were talking at 5pm tonight & during this Rangers are expecting to bid for a second time We await news on that - No ‘done deal’ or accepted bid.. Yet

Thought the SLO would have put this on Gersnet also. Following a number of complaints and feedback from Rangers Supporters, the club arranged to hold a post-match debrief of the experiences of our supporters at the recent Old Firm match. The meeting included discussion of topics that had been raised by our support in feedback to the club and supporter groups. The issues discussed at this meeting included ingress/egress of supporters, segregation, and potential flashpoints. Police have given assurances that they will make changes to the operational plan for the next fixture at Parkhead.We would like to take this opportunity to thank the support for getting in contact with the club with their experiences and would encourage supporters to continue to do so in the future.All feedback is appreciated – slo@rangers.co.uk

Alan Stubbs was surprised Jason Cummings decided to join Rangers rather than stay and fight for his place at Nottingham Forest. The former Hibs striker has agreed a loan deal at Ibrox until the end of the season barely six months after quitting Easter Road for the English Championship outfit.Signed by former Rangers boss Mark Warburton, the 22-year-old struggled to hold down a first-team place at Forest, making just ten starts and scoring only four goals. Warburton was sacked at the end of December to be replaced by Aitor Karanka but, it seems, Cummings wasn’t willing to hang around to prove himself to the former Middlesbrough coach.“Am I surprised Rangers have gone in for him?” asked Stubbs. “No, because I know Jason’s representatives are very fond of Rangers, let’s put it that way. “I can see why it’s happened but I am probably surprised that Jason hasn’t stuck it out more down in England because that seemed to be a big motivation for him going there in the first place.I know he needs to play games, but especially with the new manager coming in, why not stay around and try to impress him? “Ask any player, if they are doing well, they will ultimately want to be down in England for one of the big teams.” Having said that, Stubbs insisted returning to Scotland so quickly wasn’t proof of a lack of ambition on the part of Cummings, who was top scorer for Hibs three seasons in a row. He said: “Jason is am ambitious guy. He’s not left the Championship to go to any club. Rangers are still a massive club. I must admit, I’ve been quite impressed with the signings they have made up till now. I just hope he does well. “Playing in front of 50,000 at Ibrox won’t faze him. It’s whether he can produce his form and goalscoring attributes the way he did at Hibs.”Read more at: https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman....d-by-jason-cummings-move-to-rangers-1-4664408

RIFC Board Place Poll - Result Dear Member, Members were polled last week on whether they believed Club 1872 should have a place on the RIFC Plc board. We had a huge response to the poll and the final result was that 97% of members were in favour of Club 1872 having an RIFC board place. The Club 1872 board will now formally notify the RIFC board of the result and seek to hold discussions with them as soon as is practical to discuss the matter. We will also be notifying members shortly of a members meeting with the Club 1872 board and plans for a wide ranging consultation. We thank all members for their support and would urge all Rangers supporters to sign up to Club 1872 in what is going to be a huge year for both us and Rangers - with an opportunity for major investment to be made directly into the club through Club 1872.

Weird that Hibs fan have taken umbrage at a Hearts fan signing for Rangers.

Jeez, why do you stay here?

SUNDERLAND: Why the Jack Rodwell saga exposes the chronic mismanagement that has driven the Black Cats to the brink Scott Wilson scottwilsonechoChief Sports Writer ON HIS KNEES: The signing of Jack Rodwell is one of the costliest mistakes Sunderland have ever made WHEN the story of Sunderland’s calamitous decline is told in a couple of decades’ time, the role played by Jack Rodwell will barely merit a footnote. Yet when it comes to explaining why the club finds itself at the foot of the Championship table, saddled with debts of more than £100m, the tale of the invisible England international could hardly be more instructive. Even for a club that has set new standards of ineptitude in the last few years, Rodwell’s three-and-a-half years as a Sunderland player represent a remarkable new low. And despite this week’s talk of cancelled contracts and mutual agreements, the most staggering aspect of all is that there could still be another 18 months of this sorry saga to run.The numbers make for harrowing reading. Rodwell was signed from Manchester City for £10m in August 2014, and is understood to have been awarded a five-year contract worth £70,000-a-week. He has spent 180 weeks as a Sunderland player, picking up £12.6m in wages. In that time, he has made 76 senior appearances, 23 of which were as a substitute. If his transfer fee and wages are combined, he has cost Sunderland £299,000 per appearance. Or to put it another way, the club has shelled out more than £4,700 for every minute he has been on the field. Perhaps that would have been worth it if Rodwell had been leading Sunderland to a succession of Premier League wins. Instead, the 26-year-old has made 44 league starts for the Black Cats – and only one of those games resulted in a victory. To all intents and purposes, Sunderland have spent more than £22m to secure a 4-0 win at Crystal Palace in February 2017. The sums are staggering, and if Rodwell opts to see out the remainder of his contract, he will leave the Stadium of Light having earned £18.2m in wages over the duration of his deal. Plus the one win bonus from Selhurst Park. Rarely can a player have taken so much for so little, and having completely fallen out of love with the game over the course of the last 12 months, it would suit everyone for Rodwell to walk away and make a new start. A player with three senior England caps to his name, and who was once touted as the answer to this country’s central-midfield issues, would have the opportunity to rebuild his career while there might still be clubs in the top two divisions willing to take a chance on him. Chris Coleman would have a £70,000-a-week gap in his wage bill, waiting to be filled by some much-needed acquisitions. And Sunderland would be able to move on from an extremely costly mistake. It all sounds so easy, yet the fact that Rodwell remains on Sunderland’s books despite having asked to leave at the start of the month proves it is anything but. The reality is that the Black Cats’ highest-paid player is perfectly within his rights to sit tight for the next 18 months and continue to count his money. Ultimately, it is the club to blame for the current shambles, not him. What on earth were Sunderland thinking back in 2014 when they signed off the Rodwell deal and agreed to the midfielder being one of the only players on the club’s books not to have a relegation clause inserted into his contract? The transfer made no sense at the time, and is even harder to explain now, yet it was far from the only instance of dreadful decision making to have occurred on Ellis Short’s watch. In fact, the Rodwell signing fits neatly into a pattern of chaotic management that has driven Sunderland to the brink of League One. Two-and-a-half months before Rodwell arrived, Sunderland had clambered to Premier League safety under Gus Poyet. They were locked into a recurring narrative. New manager arrives and drags the team out of the bottom three. New manager asks for a barrel-load of money and is given it to make new signings. New manager abandons everything that his predecessor had been building. New manager starts to struggle, is sacked, and becomes the old manager. A new manager is appointed and the whole sorry cycle starts again. The upshot was that Sunderland signed 45 players under a succession of different bosses, and made a profit on just three of them. That’s how you rack up £100m of debt even though your owner continues tipping money down a black hole. Sporting director Lee Congerton was in charge of recruitment when Rodwell was signed, and no doubt wanted to make his mark. Margaret Byrne was the chief executive charged with the task of drawing up contracts, and appears to have been out of her depth from the outset. Poyet wanted high-profile new signings, and was delighted to see Sunderland outbid a number of their Premier League rivals to land a player who had recently been playing for England.

Got it now.

Is the default text now smaller and lighter, or is it just my old eyes fading even more?

Cannae go all this positivity.

Aye but I got a reply.

As title game on 3rd February is sold out.

Nope. On a thread asking if TBB Is banned I see no reason to bring ones political predujuces into it.

No, I read somewhere that Celtc spent £500K on theirs. No idea what our costs would be, but it does look like the Club1872 board are looking to finance it. Assuming of course members vote for it.

IMG ?

£500K by them I read somewhere? But it looks like the Club1872 board are wishing to finance it, if members give the go ahead.

Every penny spent on these projects delays us reaching 20% of the share issue and beyond.
