"Little known fact, Henderson and McMillan didn't play that often together, probably a season and a half. It was mostly Alex Scott on the right with Ian inside.m" True. Pity the substitute rule wasn't available then. Imagine starting with Scott or Henderson and the other on the bench. Full back's nightmare. And Rangers could probably have kept Billy Stevenson to come on for Greig or Baxter. Here's a Scottish international team from that era and not a Ranger or a Celt in it: Brown, Hamilton, Cox (all Dundee) Cumming (Hearts) Ure (Dundee/Arsenal) McKay (Hearts) Smith (Hibs/Hearts/Dundee) White (Falkirk/'Spurs) Young (Hearts) Gilzean (Dundee/'Spurs) Robertson (Dundee) Plenty more to pick from - Slater, Parker (Falkirk) Martis, McCann, Weir, Hunter, Quinn, St John (M'well) Herd (Clyde/Arsenal) Glen, Leggatt, Buckley (Aberdeen) Hilley, Harley and Gray (Thirds) and Joe Baker of the Hibs. OK he was born in England but he talked like a Scotsman and played football like one. Today's guys are fitter and faster but they don't have the talent of the old fellas.

Cost of gems? Priceless. That Dundee final was superb a football match. Dundee were terrific. Rangers a wee bit better than terrific although McMillan had finished by then.
-
Twenty minutes of McMillan worth more than ninety minutes of most others. If there had been substitutes in those days would you play him from the start and take him off after an hour or would you wait 'til the opposition was a bit tired and then bring him on for the final destruction? How I remember the slide rule passes for the flyer Scott to race onto. Moravzcyk the nearest comparison of modern times.

DF's not that kind of lawyer.

Whyte can have no claim on Rangers. In his wildest dreams he may have a personal claim against Green and the shafters but I can't see how a Court would reduce the transfer from the old company to the new one and clawback the assets.

Paul Murray, the Blue Knight calling for core values

Rab. You said it. "Former labour Cabinet Minister" The Government for the last three years has been Tory- ish. You might be right about LBG but Reid is a busted flush. -
Stood at about the halfway line three quarters of the way up the terracing. Plenty of Dundee supporters, plenty of good natured banter and sensible discussion. As Rangers did their lap of honour the air above the MF end seemed to shimmer with the noise. Sixty thousand blue-scarved fanatics, the Daily Telegraph called them.

I remember bowler hat day as though it were yesterday. Belter of a game. Dundee superb. 'Gers even better. Quite liked the stripes.

"wher are the blue knights go on get in there and fill yer boots its there for the taking " Yep. The BTC is away in the long grass and LNS saved the SPL penalty kick.

Forlan posted yesterday - I can't remember which thread - evidence of recent large scale borrowing from their bank.

The Founders Trail shown the red card by bigots

Green fascism triumphs again. One of their stormtroopers grumbles and decent folk give in. -
Wow! Have they put the family silver on E-bay as well?

Dire. Name the bigot. -
If Dermott Desmond owned the Rangers it would surely mean that he had turned and we must always welcome sinners to their redemption.

Tell us your fears. No need to bear them on your own. Second liquidation? My own view? More perilous than this time last year. The respite provided by the BTC and LNS rulings has dissipated with colossal damage to reputation. Perpetual Crisis Club.

"I wonder who in Rangers instructed these firms? Who has the authority with no CEO?" The Board has the authority. Wonder if they asked Stockbridge if he knew any good CA firm.

FS: " As the saying goes, "Even dead cats bounce". " You speak in jest, I trust, or is it really as bad as that? Darther: "looks like some folk offloading " Look on the bright side. Some folk are buying.

I hope that includes the ability to shaft the opposition where required but also the sense to keep quiet about it.
-
"and whyte is or was a director maybe even owner of sevco5088" If sevco is a subsidiary of the plc Whyte cannot be its owner any more. Even if he were majority shareholder the structure of the susidiary would prevent him from having control of the Board.

"this guy was a teacher and clearly intelligent but no less obsessed" I've got to say, I was surprised when he said he was a teacher. Although when I reflect on what schools are turning out I maybe shouldn't have been.

David Dein is out of work but also out of our reach salary-wise. Great pity. Arsenal to Rangers - that's the way a man's career path should go.

Not for the chop but for the Chief Exec job. Somebody mentioned Gordon Smith and I wouldnâ??t mind him as Director of Football but Rangers need a bloke with a money/business background for the top job. He also needs touch of class to hide a ruthless streak and the sense to know when to keep quiet. AJ would be the man if he were 20 years younger and lived this side of the Atlantic. Did SDM not appoint a guy McIlroy with a proven record at pre-Vlad Hearts who lasted a few months before he walked/got pushed because he recognised a straw business when he saw it? We could maybe get the Lloyds bhoys back. We did ok when they were running the show. Iâ??d better say that last paragraph is written in jest or else some of the more smouldering readers cry Timmery. Always remember, Tims donâ??t do humour. Any serious suggestions?

"Those suspicions were that Milne had been hand-picked by Peter Lawwell to be his public face." Who in his right mind would pick Milne as his public face?

So, LNS has abandoned browsing his pressed flower collection for Ibrox on a Saturday. "Hello! Hello! We are Lord Nimmo's boys!"

Clever stuff that. And, why yes, I remember it well
