RANGERRAB

Who’s going to check 50,000 vaccine passports at ibrox on match days?

you are right. 

 

Good article on it here but certainly they will bring in cash. MY brother in law bought 3 yesterday.

How much do Rangers get from every Castore shirt sold? Any idea?

Ive been saying for years it makes no sense for Rangers to sign contracts  with the likes of Adidas & Nike because we’d get so little back if we’d sold 100’s of thousands

shirt sales with be worth tens if not 100s of millions on ronaldo. 

Not so sure about that. The lionshare of shirt sales goes to the manufacturer. 
When Messi went to PSG it was revealed that the club got 15% of sales in their Nike contract.

So if they sold 1miliion shirts at €50 each they’d only get €7.5m.

Not sure what Manchester United’s deal with Adidas is but won’t be too different from PSG’s I wouldn’t think

The £4.5m from the share issue will be used to repay Dave King's £5m + interest loan due for repayment next month.

 

The £10m figure I used had already factored in the commercial deals. Remember that we made a £16m loss in the 19/20 season.

 

As I said above, we made a £16m loss in 19/20  season that included qualifying from the group stages of the EL. There were some league games with no crowd but other than any refunded season ticket cash, we would have had most of the cash from them anyway.

 

It'll certainly be interesting to see where the finance comes from.

From Hong Kong maybe??

While I largely agree with you that the club can't be held responsible for what happens in the town an hour before a match when MSP's are publicly calling for a response from Rangers it's difficult for the club to remain silent. Even if the MSP in question is someone with questionable motives and undoubtedly doing it for political reasons, it's hard for the club to simply ignore him, unfortunately. 

The club should be challenging these MSP’s and mhedia no-marks more directly.

Where was the condemnation from these people of the hanging effigies or the ‘huns know your place’ banner ?

Name and shame these cretins in any club statement

Valentine's Day was their last away victory domestically.

Their worst start points-wise since 1997/98

First Celtic manager since Mowbray to lose their first OF indeed.

 

But for an unfortunate goal away to Dundee Utd we would be 4 points clear of them, despite our own slow start to the season.  As it is, we are 3 clear.

 

What makes for really interesting reading for me is their recruitment policy.  Apparently they are close to signing both a winger and a striker.... in fairness, the boy Kyogo looks very tidy (despite Balogun ensuring he had a quiet day yesterday you can tell he is a good player) and Abada will be OK against the other SPFL dross.... but in signing another striker and another winger they are completely ignoring their actual failings.... which are in midfield and defence, particularly in defence.  I thought Juranovic did OK for them yesterday and maybe he will play RB instead of Ralston (Ralston is getting plaudits for being an SPFL hammer thrower - he did ok yesterday for them too, but isn't much of a footballer), but Starfelt is a horror show, Welsh will get exposed having to be the cool head beside him, and Joe Hart will undoubtedly cost them points this season.

 

They have, apparently, spent 20 million this season on transfers - when added to last season's spend and given how poorly those transfers have turned out, they must be close to being on their last legs in terms of sellable assets to balance the books.

 

You can only have so many strikers and wingers start... even John Hartson got it spot on yesterday when he said "will Angeball mean Celtic have to score 3 or 4 goals to ensure victories"..... those close games when they are 1-0 up with a few minutes left to play and opponents lump it into the box will be telling, they can't handle the aerial fight.

 

At half-time yesterday, sure they had most of the possession - but a) because Rangers were happy with them having possession in their own half and b) a lot of that possession wasn't dangerous at all.  They are easier on the eye than Lennon's Celtic last season... but they are 6 points worse off, after 4 games, I believe.  Hardly inspiring.

 

Our expectations are heady, we believe we should win the league.  With how we won it at a canter last season, they expected to not put up a fight this season... given their brand of play is better they have bought into the delusion early.  For us, we just need to keep focused on one game at a time, winning whether we play poorly or not.  We proved yesterday, again, that we have superior tacticians.

Joe Hart is for me the interesting signing they made. Going back to yesterday’s goal, Helander’s header was far from unsaveable.

It was however to his left hand side which, during his loan spell at Torino a few seasons ago, the Italians highlighted it was his weak side & he lost many goals at that side. Just wonder if he’ll get exploited up here the way he was in Italy

The Troy Deeney rumours now being rubbished. He’s off to Birmingham City

deeney is a bit risky. High risk but possible high reward. 

Far too risky in my opinion 

Hope I’m wrong but I’d be surprised if Patterson still with us after Window closes 

Just back in from the game. Great afternoon. Only complaint was we should have scored more than one when on top early second half. Certainly brought them down a peg or two after all we’ve hearing the past few weeks

3-5-2 today?

I don’t think we can have too many complaints about the draw we got.

Olympique lyon have made a poor start to ligue1 & Sparta Prague arent as good as Slavia. And if we’re honest we should be able to beat Brondby home and away.

The starting XI I predicted on here yesterday ?

54 minutes ago, BlackSocksRedTops said:

Am I the only one thinking that this works in our favour for Sunday? As long as we still have good options all over the park, I reckon this will eradicate any complacency and make the players more determined.  They will go in as favourites and that will suit me tbh.

I’ve been thinking the same too. Trying to guess the starting XI:-

Mccrorie GK with Paterson,Goldson, Helander & Barasic 

A MF of Davis, Kamala & Arfield 

upfront Morelos with Aribo and Hagi in the wider areas 

Not seen enough of McCrorie but the rest of the side doesn’t have natural wide players. Could make us stronger maybe. And harder to play against 

Looks like Robby McCrorie going to get his chance now because of this. It’s up to him to show us what he can do

Is Celtic BC still a live investigation?

Are the police still working on this case?

Great to see Doncaster & McLennan getting handed their arses on a plate….?

and rangers of course have shown the same energy. Now will we see the same shown for the celtc racist. 

No chance of that happening. 

I see Postecoglu throwing in his tuppence worth now. Someone needs to give this guy a brief history lesson about his new employers stretching back 40/50 years. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

Do you know what amazes me about all this Celtic Boys Club stuff?

Have any of their old board of directors (before McCann) ever been interviewed about any of this ?

One or two were even Torbet’s business partners I believe. Did they really not know any of this was going on? Or just turned a blind eye to it all?

Glad we got the win tonight but the MF is a big worry.
Can we get another full season from Steven Davis ? Will Kamara stay? When will Ryan Jack return? Lundstrum is struggling. Kelly doesn’t look like he’ll get his chance does he? 

And I’m hearing various reports about Bacuna, especially from Huddersfield Town supporters. 
Need to sort this out

seems like we ar only looking to loan him out. 

Makes more sense 

Easy one.Roofe. We wouldn’t have lost to Malmö & Dundee hibz if Roofe played. Roofe was badly missed. Rangers are a totally different team when Roofe is in the team

Keeping Roofe fit & free from suspension is what matters most
