  1. It would be a strange move selling the one player who’s shown consistency since the beginning of the season .

    It would also seem strange that the new manager would have accepted the job knowing that the club intends to sell their best player.

    I thought it was offside. 

    If those refereeing decisions had been against Rangers the fans would be on here moaning until Christmas I'm no Scotland fan but even I felt for them , wouldn't surprise me if he was under instructions to make sure only the so called big nations get to Germany Everyone's aware that uefa are as twisted as a pig knob

    Im no great lover of the Scotland team and it’s support but I thought they were hard done by getting that goal chopped off last night 

    Once again VAR the culprit. It was brought in to reduce wrong decisions but seems more and more to be creating wrong decisions 

    That referee was Holland's version of Willie Collum

    Taking away any of the chat about who would host such events, in no way should a country the size of Scotland, with the financial constraints that our footballing authorities have, ever be wasting any more money on a national stadium. It's a grotesque luxury, and not even a good one.

    Someone should as supreme leader Humza about building a new national stadium I’m sure it could be completed in around ten years

    IIRC the two end stands were built by the now defunct Barr Construction & the North Stand overhanging the cemetery by Miller. Yes I’d heard that £40m figure too which was a lot of money for a club which had not long survived bankruptcy 
    All sorts of rumours at the time of using cheapest materials, cutting corners, safety breaches etc. Crucially no one really seemed willing to question how it got planning permission especially after the old Celtic board said it couldn’t be redeveloped & were looking at alternative sites.

    Ultimately though it gave them a stadium with a 60k capacity but with a life expectancy of how long? And it gave them a stadium with a 10k greater capacity than ibrox or hampden. Then the bunnet began parroting phrases used by the Rangers board in the 1970’s about not needing hampden which had also got redeveloped but with national lottery funding, something  which would come into play years later in 2020 when Mr Haughey would emerge as a hampden supporter as the SFA threatened  to move games away from hampden. But to where? A rugby stadium in Edinburgh? Why not 60k Celtic Park? Maybe we’ll find this out soon enough.

    Their bigger stadium had the potential to get them more revenue through the gates than ours so our Mr Murray starting looking at other sources of revenue & whatever else that would unfortunately ultimately lead us to 2012.

    I still do believe alarm bells must have been going off in the Rangers boardroom about where Celtic’s funding was coming from back then.


     

    Think on they are going to have the euros in Britain Hampden will need a lot spent on it or will someone suggest why spend money on Hampden when Parkhead is ready along with disco lights

    I always thought it was the BoS were Rangers bankers under Murray?

    Anyway my point is ‘they’ were up to all sorts around 2000 which led Rangers(Murray) into taking rash decisions which ultimately led to 2012.

    As you rightly say GCC were undoubtedly helping them & we were mostly oblivious or uninterested. The stadium was the best example. Their old board clearly said it couldn’t be redeveloped. Along came the bunnett & GCC granted permission. And where did the funding come from? Ultra soft coop banned loans? Don’t think their 3 share issues got them that much.

    They were skint

    That’s usually a very reliable guide. Uniquely the difference in the present case is that they have by SP standards a reasonably well oiled machine that needs a light touch -  Clement? Rangers need someone who will bang heads together and deflate egos and light a fire under the team - Muscat?

    We’ve been long overdue someone to crack the whip I think some of them look at Ibrox as a kind of rest home an easy billet just go through the motions and pick up a decent pay packet every Friday.
