and another thing, now Dunfermline know how their brand of "sporting integrity" works.

He was one of the first to put the knife in us. No sympathy from me I am afraid. The double standards here are sickening.

Just seen his interview and he does not look a happy man.

I hope they are not there to agree the list of sanctions before they are admitted to SFL3 but to tell them where to shove them.

Good to see an article from an outsider unaffected by the malice, bitterness and hatred that is Scottish football.

This is disgraceful. If true what does it do for Scottish football in the long run to have Rangers out of European football for an additional 2 years? It benefits one club and one club only.

I think the e mail resulted in the meetings between CG and 4 of the SPL chairmen prior to the SPL vote and I fear that CG may have agreed to the sanctions.

Is he waiting perhaps to see what Bomber has to say on Sunday

Well worth a listen, regardless of what you think of de Stefano. He is basically saying Rangers are the victim of a massive fraud involving lawyers, businessmen, HMRC etc.

While I think the sentiments are honourable, I fear they are naive. The Scottish game is haemorrhageing Scottish talent to England as it is. The lack of competition and finance in the SPL is going to exacerbate this. I would love the redistribtion of wealth to improve the game but worry that it will dumb the game down.

This is frightening stuff. When will this be over?

I hope he has the evidence because without that he has just paraphrased stuff that has been on every Rangers website.

I think Regan's statement is admitting defeat but it is so wooly I can't say for sure. I think it is ludicrous that Rangers are in Div 3 but the way the situation was allowed to get out of control has led us to where we are at. Like most Rangers supporters I do not believe there was any alternative.

"The club now must be given the time and space to recover so Stuart Regan needs to end his personal vendetta against Rangers by removing the threat of further sanctions immediately. Rangers must now be allowed to plan for next season with certainty so the football authorities must now stick with today's decisive and clear view" I have been thinking about this. How likely do you think it is that we would be given support from the SFL clubs if the SFA decide to follow through with their previous plan of asking Rangers to accept unconditionally any punishment that is levied on them with no recourse to object or appeal as a condition of ratifying our SFL membership?

Alex Thomson is now saying it is no big deal, but from what I can gather, it is about Regan but not Lawell. Think he is due on STV right now in an STV special about Rangers.

Thanks, Andy.

I never saw myself as a forum type person but was so incensed by what I was reading in the media that I started looking at forums. I like this one because there are rules which are adhered to and there are no skulls. I occasionally look in to other forums, was banned from FF for suggesting we needed to wait until the next day for more information about CG's takeover ( lifetime ban as well lol) and have joined the Rangers Standard. I really appreciate the articles and a lot of the debate on here and bow down to your superior knowledge and writing style

Then when they won't he will be forced to resign.

There are protestants, bigoted protestants and bigots. Protestants are mainly not bigoted because of the core teachings of their church but some are bigots despite that. The bigots have no church, are not protestants and know so little about religion they don't even know they are not protestants

Could it be something to do with the words? It sickens me that a new song has to be adapted to f*** catholics or the Pope. I have never been comfortable with that. I agree that it is a minority that think like that, but these songs are sung by the majority, which is what gives us a bad name. I firmly believe the majority of Rangers fans are not sectarian, now we need to prove it, sing songs about Rangers, not about other people's religion.

Were the admin duped by Green's claims of investors and Rangers men?

I have not been able to understand the sale of the club and why the admin entered into a binding agreement. Until this is fully explained, I will not trust them or Green. I will back the club to get it back on its feet but am extremely wary of a scenario where we buy shares and ST's and the value of the club goes through the roof and a £50 million price tag is placed on the club. I am not averse to the current owners making a profit but not to the extent of preventing the future well being of the club. I am worried that we will be left with owners that don't want us, cannot make a big enough profit to sell on and fail to invest properly in the club.

I agree with you about the sanctions absolutely. The problem is we are shafted, we have no say in what will happen to us and no-one that is prepared to back us, they all want to hammer us.

I think the time for calling us shamed Rangers is over. We heard you the previous one thousand times. At least he called us Rangers.

In Holland every small town has community sports facilities that are light years ahead of ours. These centres cater for the whole community with decent eating facilities, changing rooms etc and several grass and 3G pitches. In order to improve our youngsters, we need to pump money into grassroots facilities, which in our small towns are awful in most cases.
