buster.

In my heid, it is now .......... We aren't scoring many but have tightened up at the back (lost 2 goals in 8 league games this year). Hibs don't believe anymore and will look to the Cups and play-offs.

11 points (+1) difference 10 games left. We ain't going to lose 4. Champions elect

Nothing wrong with a different view but twitter isn't usually the best place to be able to explain further.

Scottish football is essentially a 'low-quality' enviroment. The vast majority of the surrounding media fit in nicely with and only help preserve that level. They aren't going to enjoy the way MW brushes them off and will look for any opportunity to have a go back. That is we are told 'the way it works', if a manager gives them stories they'll give him a better press. What they did find leading up to the January transfer window, during it and now occasionally still going on about it was a disproportionate and relentless theme being covered on DK/30M/5 players/MW let down?, etc. I didn't see anyone doing the work and going into the actual details so as to help put a lid on the understanding of some of the issues. Instead it was just a superficial rant saying the same thing as another so called journalist had said the day before. Bottomline is that 90% of the Scottish footballing media isn't worth consuming.

The hypocrisy shown only shows up even more how rushed, flawed, poor, discriminatory, flawed, unnecessary and hypocritical the Act passed in 2010 was. The politics and nature of the SNP are what they are and that isn't going to change. However this hypocrisy is something that should be highlighted. Politics encompasses life and can be mixed with anything. You can't say with credibility that politics shouldn't be brought into football/sport. Some may not want to mix it but we are not here to satisfy the some.

Maybe you could ask David Low for some advice.

Much ado about nothing. Was never happening......

Old school, today they'd be down quicker than you could say 'Broad Jump' and secure the info within about 4 minutes.

If offered, I'd sign for the 3 points without the commanding performance right now. But yes, a decent performance that is reflected by several goals and no injuries would be the perfect way to take advantage of last night.....Will be Wilson and Ball at the back if Kiernen is suspended.

We are now winning games in a way which suggests there will be further slip-ups along the way. Hibs also appear to be faltering a little. Suggests to me that the presuming of 3 points against anyone can't be done with the same level of confidence as earlier in the season for either team. I think the main dangers for us are further injuries to important players and not getting back to scoring goals more frequently. This is far from over and we desperately need to keep churning out the wins.

I think in the 3 years previous to Cooper signing (100,000), only Colin Stein re-joining had generated any real expectation prior to the Cooper arrival. I can't remember in which order they were signed but Gordon Smith (65,000) and Bobby Russell (200 sterling) joined Cooper and went on to help Rangers win the treble in their first season (77-78). As a child on a supporters bus going through to Glasgow from Edinburgh, it cost me a whopping 50p for the return trip !!

I remember coming home off my first and last school trip (5 days at Loch Tay) to the news that Cooper had signed. I was estatic and picked up my ball to go play and pretend I was Davie Cooper.

Christ,....... Davie Cooper would have been 60 today !! When you think about it, back in the day he was probably the nearest thing to Christ. Official site with some videos http://rangers.co.uk/news/rangers-tv/video-happy-birthday-davie-cooper/

There are obviously issues that are festering and the one comment I'd make is why were they not put out there and debated openly, prior to the recent election ?

Preparing and publicising an 'exit strategy' for himself is a curious way to start. Why bother standing in the first place. Given his half-hearted and grey message and how much he didn't achieve when 'speaking to the bad guys' maybe there are other candidates who would be better for the role.

The 'Big tax case delay'......seems to have been going on forever. 'My brain hurt like a warehouse it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people I never thought I'd need so many people. We've got five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot We've got five years, that's all we've got'

It's more that they don't want to encourage people, more especially groups of people to protest or register political opinion in a publicly visible way (if it can be prevented). Can't have groups of people starting to develop a sense of unity and thinking that it might be a good idea going forward. Better that you watch reality TV, take 'selfies' and shut-up.

Has he ever really gone away ?

I wonder if the 18 year old arrested was trying to keep, but move the banner away from advertising and the Police were just for taking it away, period ? Anyone know if the banner was returned after the game ?

The predictable wheels of the Scottish football media keep turning round the 'controversial angles' to stoke up the predictable verbal rammies. How many words to come on: - 'Dundee unhappy with Gers attempt to unsettle Stewart' - 'Stewart aims to put Rangers out but could be ruining his chance of European football next season' - 'Stewart says he has heard nothing and as far as he is concerned will be a Dundee player next season' - 'Stewart says he doesn't read the stories as he is only focused on his next game' etc.

Reality was that if relatively unknown candidates (however impressive their CV) thought they would get elected on a profile page and not a lot else then they were being extremely optimistic, you could even say naive. Had they wanted to win then they obviously had to make more of an effort at communicating X and Y. However many good candidates simply won't want to go near what they might perceive as a 'no mans land' of Rangers fans politics. We need whatever comes of any proposals to end up with something that enourages 'honest quality' to come forward and take the place of the 'politically toxic'.

Would it be too kind to call that a 'schoolboy error' ? ...

Fair comment IMO but it's the hidden and more Machiavellian agenda of others that is the real issue here................ some of whom who are developing a habit of controversially moving onto to new pastures when one group doesn't suit, not being timely and up-front about telling who they should about their new visions for what appears to be 'themselves'. The irony being one of them, Graham Campbell (seconded by Ronnie Johnston) standing on a 'consultation and transparency ticket' in the recent election. #Toxic
