Would anyone be complaining about the stars if we were closing in on 60 titles?
-
The website is very good in many ways. Still room for improvement. A lot better than our competition though.
-
Helander is slow. That's not even up for debate. He's still a first pick and that's partly because he is left sided and better with the ball than Katic.
-
Helander is a first pick. His absence last season will probably prove to be a bigger blow than Katic being out this season.

Not sure if it is a rumour anymore. https://twitter.com/JordanC1107/status/1279871784473497601

Perhaps time to revise my opinion. A guy on another forum received a Whatsapp message from another guy who has 'no inside knowledge what so ever'.

I won't believe it until someone tells me that it is going around on Whatsapp.

Yet fools still demand to pay the television licence.

I wonder how many people work there.

SPFL Season declaration challenged legally (ongoing discussion)

There must be some mistake. John Nelms was using his leverage to benefit all of the clubs in his league. -

It's not difficult to click the 'View history' button and undo various recent changes. -
Plenty of players have made bridged the gap. Allan McGregor Alan Hutton Chris Burke Gregg Wylde Steven Smith Barrie McKay Danny Wilson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangers_F.C._Under-20s_and_Academy#List_of_Academy_graduates You might be advised to stop looking for the next Barry Ferguson. I'm pretty sure that European football has some rules that make it desirable to fill the squad with academy graduates.

It's guaranteed to be better for clubs like Rangers in one way. There is no debate about that. Rangers will be able to increase the likelihood of players moving from the Rangers youth system and into the first team. Sadly that doesn't mean that it won't do any harm. One way that smaller clubs can compete for good players is by offering playing time to young players. Very few are good enough to break through at bigger clubs so most need to go elsewhere. By allowing big clubs to play youth teams in the lower leagues we will cut off small clubs access to good players. Small clubs will not be able to compete at all. We can already see that our youth team is a match for many teams in the second tier. What will that be like when players don't need to leave Rangers to go and play somewhere like Inverness? The game is already structured in a way to favour big clubs. We earn a higher proportion of prize money. We have higher gate revenue. We get more money from televised matches. We earn income from European competitions. We can afford to underwrite young players wages while loaning them out to smaller clubs. We can afford to run a large youth development setup with quality facilities. We get to bypass the earlier rounds of the League cup. We get to bypass the earlier rounds of the Scottish cup. Some of these advantages are unavoidable. The game wouldn't function if the winners didn't get more prize money for example. Some other advantages are designed to make the game less competitive. If we keep stacking up these advantages then Scottish football will be less competitive. In the long run that it bad for Rangers. It is also bad for anybody who watches Scottish football.

Lets be fair. The S.P.F.L. don't mention it anywhere near as often as some of us.
-
Terrible idea. Just like having youth teams in the lower leagues.
-
The other teams would be very foolish to accept this. How many advantages do we need?
-
As many false tens as we can fit on the park. Triple pivot too.

Quite. This sort of thing happens every year though. Why does the chance to buy a Rangers strip, or season ticket, inspire so many complaints? -

Another day another terrifying Lewis Ferguson rumour. Thankfully a silver lining always appears when we discover that it is a load of rubbish.
