Legend - I was happier when big Baillie was left out!

Not the best of times to join up, Herr Berliner. No one could call you a glory hunter. We old geezers 1947/64 had it pretty easy apart from one freak event that I don't like to talk about.

"Are we the oldest people on this site that can remember those days ?"

Naw. I'm just a young lad. Ma faither tellt me aboot them. (Ahem)

Johnnie Little - another unsung hero. And Willie Rae. Imagine being understudy to Sammy Cox, but he never let Rangers down.

Billy Stevenson - how I wish we had kept him. One of the cornerstones of the Shankly Liverpool resurgence.

And good old Willie T and George Niven. Undersung stalwarts.

"that was against slaves"

Naw. It was against Immortals, supposedly. But that cant be right because it was before Morton, McPhail and Meiklejohn were born.

no12: "Hmm, I've never been to Borough Briggs. There's a first time for everything."

About 70% City fans have Rangers as their "wee team" Peterhead something similar.

Long journey to Elgin but worth twice the distance to get to the Drams Capital of the World.

Started off on the lead horse in the posse and now he's trying to get us out of jail. Fair play to the man. He's starting to talk sense. Expect a return to normal, though, once the new Rangers get going.

"From day 1 we should have went straight to Div 3 and start preparing for the season. "

Correct. Why didn't all these smart business blokes see that liquidation was inevitable (King excepted) and that the rest of the SPL were never going to let a new Rangers back in?

The Elgin City chairman is ready to receive Rangers into Div 3. He doesn't think the new Rangers or the fans should be punished for anything the old company did.

He's not a Rangers supporter. NUFC born and bred.

Ross County will definitely vote in favour. Not many people live in Ross-shire but of the football-minded population they are 90% Rangers except Alness which was polluted about fifty years ago.

"Does James Forrest count?"

Yes, probably as high as fourteen. And reads a little bit too.

Valentine, Konterman, Ricksen.

And you know what? I resented Wullie a wee bit for edging out Alex Scott. Wish there had been subs in those days. Keep the two of them. Nigthmare for fullbacks

Who wants to play football with all these other Scottish clubs given their ridiculous posturings? A football match is a sporting event for men not whining babies. Even Div 3 clubs(where we now rightly belong) are starting to jump on the "dinnae want Rangers" bandwagon. The Chairman of Elgin City is an outstanding exception. A native Geordie and lifelong dyed iin the wool fan of Newcastle Utd., he is reported to have said it is unfair to punish the Rangers and their supporters for the wrongdoings of the previous ownership.

Anyway, "Rangers" will never be the same again. Before Whyte we could always patronise other fans whose clubs did not have our majestic history, even the fans of a club with a euro-bauble because they had looked down the barrel of the Bank of Scotland's liquidation six-shooter whereas Rangers had never been short of a shilling.

I'm for jacking it all in. So celtic eventually pass our total of championships but so what? They willl be meaningless without having a Rangers to beat..

Morton, Meiklejohn, McPhail. The Iron Curtain. Caldow, Baxter, Henderson. Greig, Stein, Parlane. Goram, Gough, McCoist. When will Scottish footballl see the like again? Never. Some talented players there may be. But they wont be Rangers.

For all that, if Green can get a team on the park somewhere I suppose I'll support them.
