Has this matter been raised in Scottish Parliament by anyone?

Nothing to do with holyrood.

It’s for the law courts to determine the criminality.

And for the SFA(eventually) to deal with the football aspect of all this I.e. the role played by a member club 

No big surprise. It’s circulation figures were on a downward  spiral.Unsustainable

Very pleased with result & performance. Best of season so far in league. Only downside is we didn’t manage a clean sheet. 

And good to have a referee not going to tolerate Motherwell’s hammer throwers.Surprised it was Thomson however 

I see our old chum Craig Thomson is referee today.

You can be sure there will be at least one decision goes against us which shouldn’t or there will be a stonewall penalty we don’t get.  

Always the same when he referees a Rangers game

Pena won’t return. He’ll get sacked for breach of contract when he doesn’t show up.

Unbelievable OP. Eight of the starting eleven tonight signed at the start of the season.

Last season we were getting embarrassed by Progress Niedercorn.

This season we reached theEL group stages

We can’t expect too much too soon. Wenow have a team upon we can start to build & make further progress.

Let’s just enjoy being back in Europe after a long period of absence

Some fans don't deserve a good team

For the third season in a row a team was thrown together at the start of the season.

The first two bombed. This one got to the EL group stages.

if that isn’t progress what is ? And this team will get better with additions over the next few seasons

If the SFA wish to have any credibility they must investigate the club in question to determine whether or not they may have at the very least brought the game into disrepute. I’d suggest however it is much more serious than that.

They must start by asking why Torbett was re-employed twice (yes twice) by them after being initially caught.

And during the 70’s and 80’s Celtic BC produced many players who went on to the first team winning many honours. Would that have happened had Torbett & other been known about at the time ?

I suspect not

Other than Greg Docherty I’m not sure any of the loanees are benefitting much.

I’m not convinced the younger players will learn much at clubs at the bottom of the Scottish Championship. If they don’t achieve anything there what’s next for them?

And it seems some of these loans are also an attempt to get rid off players we no longer want but the clubs they’re at wouldnt be willing to meet the wages we’re paying them let alone a transfer fee.

The yahoos accounts showed a wage bill of £60m & operating costs of £87m. 

Totally unsustainable without CL income I’d suggest.

Maybe that’s why they sold their best player before the transfer window closed 

Arfield’s booking in the first half was almost as bad as the red card

Wind at our backs second half. Hopefully an advantage 

How many times has Dornan’s team been fined by UEFA these past few seasons ?

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw.....

That’s now 5 semis in a row these past 2 years we’ve lost at Hampden (3 LC & 2 SC) since the 2016 SCfinal and not even scored a single goal in any of them.

Very poor show whatever way you look at it.

Looking back on yesterday’s game I believe it was another example of where we should be playing 2 up front in domestic games where we’re dominating possession & the other team parks the bus.

I’d have played 3-5-2 with either Grezda or  Arfield alongside Sadiq up front.

Dont get me wrong I wouldn’t play 3-5-2 in Europe or against Celtic but I think there are definitely games think it would suit like yesterday.

The Sadiq gamble didn’t work today.

He looked well short of match fitness & sharpness.

I thought beforehand this game  was going to be difficult without our first & second choice strikers and so it proved.

However I still believe we’re heading in the right direction (at long last) and must expect the odd setback like today.

I’d think BK’s role will be to monitor the young players Rangers send out on loan to other clubs

Doran’s is a classic example of why we shouldn’t be signing players in their heir 30’s

I wonder how many of us could have predicted at the start of the season we’d be joint top of a EL group after 3 games ?? Not many I ‘d suggest.

And I think there are those in our support who forget how far we’ve come in such a short space of time.

Leaving the stadium at full time last night I couldn’t help notice a fair bit of dissatisfaction around me at not being able to get the victory we probably deserved against a side who were there for the taking. 

We must be more patient & realise that the road back to the top will have many ups & downs along the way. Like last night was.

There's no point to this. It's just howling at the moon and expecting a reply. We all know the BBC isn't going to change its attitude to Rangers, regardless of what the Rangers Board does. 

 

What I absolutely don't understand is why you place responsibility for "resolving" this dispute at Rangers' door. Are you trying to say this is all Rangers' fault? Why aren't you appealing to the BBC? Is your inconvenience more pressing than the anti-Rangers discrimination actively peddled by the BBC?

 

Are you really saying there wasn't somewhere you could have gone to watch the game on TV? There are bears all over the world who get up in the middle of the night and drive miles just to see the Rangers. Suck it up, stop whining.

The BBC is funded by the licence fee payers i.e. you and I.

And a result It is supposed to be an impartial broadcaster without allegiances.

However what we can see from the pondlife at BBC PQ is an organisation which works to various agendas. One of those agendas is blatantly anti-Rangers bias. Everyone can see this.

What I object to is having to pay a licence fee to fund theBBC. If they want these agendas then,fine, but get funding from the real commercial world like other broadcasters have to do.

Then see how they get on with much reduced income because viewing(& listening) audiences no longer want to watch/listen to their purile anti-Rangers broadcasts 

Can’t seeSG being too impressed with this

Good luck to Kris Boyd. True Rangers man & always will be.

Would have thought Ashley had much bigger things to worry about just now. 

Another Newcastle relegation being biggest.

Good to see him doing well. Hope he returns a better player from his loan spell & can push for a first team place

?????

How long before the mock outrage from Spiers & co ?
