He owns the land inside the red. He literally owns the land around the stadium. Don't know who he bought it from.

Council owned it I would say it’s not exactly prime land for development looking at the area pretty worthless I do remember the Glasgow council giving them special permission to overhang the graveyard with their north stand and as far as I’m led to believe Janefield street which runs behind that stand is now blocked to all traffic.

There was also an issue with the electric pylon that used to be outside the front of the stadium I think Mr McCan had the power company remove it as it was on land owned by the club .

Prior to the commonwealth games plenty of folk made a killing by acquiring land in that district from the council at bottom dollar prices only to sell most of it back to the same council at a very handsome price .

The situation with their stadium is weird. Willie Haughey owns all the land around Celtic’s stadium, and it was sold to him for £1,000 back in 2000, with Celtic being the feuar. 

I do believe that Murray also bought up some land were the commonwealth village stands land that was badly contaminated buy it cheap and sell it for a nice little earner 

I wonder when the next manager will get sacked Christmas or seasons end .

Let's break it down - what are the qualities we want in a manager:

 

- Clear tactical style - and an ability to implement it from scratch

- Experience (winning experience rather than longevity)

- Leadership 

- Ability to develop and improve players

- Pashun

- Brogues

 

What else? 

Cheap 

Any news on the grapevine as to an appointment it's getting boring now.

IIRC, Murray brought in Enic around that time. It allowed him to spend cash that previously wasn't available. As 26th of Foot always says, he was a gambler. He always believed that he could raise more cash. after he spent Enic's cash, he used Dave King's (plus a bit of his own), then NTL then JJB. He was confident in his own infallibility in raising more cash for the club.

 

It was this gambling streak that finally brought his business down as he financed the purchase of property with short term loans rather than mortgage related finance so when the financial crisis happened in 2008 he was screwed. 

He could go through money like my wife. 😆

Would have been better with Ronnie Barker and Leonard Rossiter

Any sign of white smoke coming from the Ibrox lum

An act of apostasy! Look at Clement's track record - very impressive. My cousin, a Rangers fan who supports Melbourne Victory, says Muscat would be a gamble. And he tipped me off about Ange before anyone here had heard of him.

Life’s a gamble sometimes you have to seize the moment

It does suggest we'll get a DoF. 

 

I see this (him being a coach) as a positive. I think that's what we've always needed. We don't have quality players that can almost manage themselves. We need a coach that can instruct and develop them. 

I think the secret of  DOF and manager is getting two people who are singing off the same song sheet 

You should always back the outsider in a two horse race nothing to lose but plenty to gain 

Muscat only because we have something in common were both stark raving mad  🤪

We've gone downhill steadily since 2000 look at the trophies won column and compare it to the hooped horrors it makes for some dismissal reading.

Have we got one yet if not why not what's the hold up 

It looks like a two horse race l remember muskie absolute loony never heard of Clement but whoever they appoint it will probably be another balls up I think someone has put a curse on Rangers.

Is London as a venue a good sign? Handy for Clement but also Eustace. Probably rules out McInnes.

 

For some reason, I’m starting to lean towards Muscat. I didn’t like him as a player because he was a nutcase. It’s not going to be him, though. He’s still in Yokohama so there isn’t any need for the appointments committee to go to London. Tokyo would have been a big clue.

Check the Heathrow arrivals board 

Appoint Gary Neville he knows everything about football 

Well according to some papers our high heid yins are off to London to appoint our new manager

DJ made his debut against Cowdenbeath at Ibrox, scoring twice in a 5-0 victory. I believe he was 16.

 

Zak Lovelace made his debut against Queen of the South at Ibrox. I believe he was 16.

 

Bailey Rice made his debut away to Livi'. I believe he was 16.

 

Derek Ferguson made his debut in Tom Forsyth's testimonial match at Ibrox. I believe he was 15.

 

The only other one I can think that may be a challenger is Alex O'Hara. I believe he was 16 when he made his debut against Borussia Monchengladbach at Ibrox in a 3-2 victory.

As my old dad used to say,you’re all the man your ever going to be at 16 

Watching McCausland was like in appearance seeing a young Davie Wilson at Baileston 

Lovelace for his injection of pace and youth lets hope he makes a quick recovery 

I liked the look of young Lovelace pity he got injured but he looks good the other lad McCausland a nice lay of for Raskin but he’s another who needs game time 

North London leads the pack followed by the two from the north west makes a little change.
