Looks like Jack and Roofe are both fit to play. Any news on the injured Frankfurt players?

I could have been off all week. Thought I was doing my employers a favour by working as much as I could manage. Complete nonsense as it turns out.

No idea what I am achieving either today or Friday.

If the final was in Estadio de La Cartuja we could complain about both the lack of tickets and the existence of the running track.

Not sure what that implies but, unless something unlikely happens, I think we are about to see almost everyone accept it. For what it is worth I will accept the absence of a beam back every single time that Rangers reach a European final.

Robertson explained precisely why it is highly unlikely to happen one week ahead of the fixture. That is not opaque and neither is it last minute.

I understand that would be ideal. You will still manage to watch the match some other way though, yes? No.

Oh, I see now, you don't understand that resource means staff. Yes, I don't think I've misrepresented anything.

What did I misrepresent? The facts are simple. We have limited resources allocated to higher priority tasks.

None of the irrelevant comparisons that you make will change our priorities. None of the irrelevant comparisons that you make will change our available resources.

Wilful misinterpretation on your part.

No, we should spend zero time organising beam backs for finals that we have yet to reach.

I agree that many do care just now but I don't think that anybody should care just now. People really won't care after the match. I don't get it anyway. Won't people just watch it at home on a television or at a public house?

Ask Robertson to explain the details but please don't waste his time prior to the final. If we win nobody will care. If we lose then nobody will care either.

Robertson has been explicit. We can't do it because the staff that might implement a beam back will be in Seville performing other duties.

That would be ideal but it is not the reality we are stuck with.

That concert has been in the pipeline for ages. We've had two weeks to organise an extremely low priority beam back while resources are allocated elsewhere.

You'll just need to settle for a board that oversees the team getting to a Europa League final. Priorities lie elsewhere?

Robertson has said that it is not feasible due to a lack of staff. Surely we all accept that any beam back is a far lower priority than the match itself.

Really? His rationale was that Rangers don't have the staff to implement a beam back. The staff required will be in Seville. There are no shortage of other ways to watch this match. Let the club focus on the football.

Paste as plain text please. I beg you.

Now ready for all first picks to be rested against Hearts. This includes Tavernier and Goldson.

It is possible that the answer is no in each case.
