Sad that a man who scored so many winning goals for the club,held it together against big odds,got us through the first two seasons in the lower divisions but made signing mistakes in the Championship is vilified for holding on to his agreed salary,which was his right.
Overlooking that blip I think there is still a place for him to be invited to a game.
The club was struggling for money, leading to deals being made with the fat Cockney **** at the same time as McCoist was sitting in the house drawing an astronomical salary for doing nothing. The goals he scored, for which he received great praise and was paid handsomely, have nothing to do with his later actions.

If McCoist hands back everything he took out of Rangers after Green took over he should be invited.
There's nothing to stop him buying a ticket like the rest of us.

I think that first photo was in the Rangers The New Era book. My copy is up in the loft but I'm certain I've seen it before.

Can we have a moratorium on posting spurious drivel by known bigots and Rangers-haters?
I understand it's as well to know what folk are saying but we really are dealing with all the usual erseholes excreting the usual, biased keech that we've all heard before.
Posting garbage like the subject should be encouraged and derided. There is another concerted campaign against us ongoing at this moment and it's gathering pace. We ignore these buffoons at our peril. We tried that before and it didn't work.

He better roar loudly next season because nobody in Scotland will be able to hear him. He'll be back home and unemployed.

I still have a feeling the pondlife are in more financial strife than had come to light yet, they haven't got bundles to spend, if they do, it's not their money they are spending. We will compete just fine, they are already using their BBC And general media machine against us! We could do very well next year and they could very well implode! WATP
Big money transfers leaving the scumhut is what has kept them going for the past few years. Had we failed to go up this year they would have been in bother. Many of the manks who said they wouldn't buy season tickets will now do so simply to watch us playing against them. Delilah has messed up their overloaded squad and they won't be that difficult to catch.

It could be worse, it could be that clown Craig Thomson!
It's a bit early to be on the drink, is it not buddy ?

Save your money from the bookies bears. We're a goal down before kick off.

Can anyone remember the last time that utter dumpling said anything worthwhile ?

A win over Hivs away is one I want to see. The cup final and cup game against the scum take care of themselves. But I'd love us to shut Stubbs gub up.

I 've just got home. Another great night. Only one team in it. Well done the Rangers.

If I lived in Glasgow, the moving around of games would be one of the biggest things preventing me from purchasing a season ticket. I'd probably pick and choose my games, deciding each weekend.
I've two mates who flat out refuse to buy season tickets due to games being moved to Friday/Tuesday/ whatever nights or Saturday/ Sunday 1230 kick offs. Older bears were brought up on 3pm Saturday kick offs with the opportunity to sink a few beers and relax pre-match.

"LIVINGSTON have hit out at the SPFL after their end of the season clash with Raith Rovers was moved to a Sunday lunchtime kick-off due to TV rules.
Championship leaders Rangers' match with St Mirren has been selected for TV coverage and SPFL rules dictate that all matches on the final day of the season must kick-off at the same time.
It means that Livingston's match will also kick-off at 12.30pm on Sunday May 1 and a post made by the club's official Twitter account blasted the decision.
The tweet was in reply to a fan who asked was the decision made so Rangers' last game will be on TV and said: "Naturally. 2 tier rules to suit The Rangers #farce."
The match could be vital to Livingston's chances of surviving in the Championship, with the West Lothian outfit currently sitting in the relegation play-off spot.
In 2014, Livingston chairman Gordon McDougall issued an apology after the club's match programme referred to Rangers as a new club and have since deleted the tweet from earlier tonight saying that it isn't the club's view and was intended for the person's private account."
The rules are there. Everybody knows what they are. But some simpleton decides there's a conspiracy at work ?

QUOTE=pete;616592]Almost 70.000 Rangers and Celtic fans being released in Edinburgh. I am not sure that is a good idea. Commuting them all alone would be massive and no segregation in trains would always be a danger.
To say nothing of, in over 60 years every time visited or passed through Edinburgh it's been raining.
My wife has banned me from ever going there if that's where she's heading.

Pipes and Penny Arcade just don't do it for me mate?....it's not the Pipes, it's blooming Penny Arcade...It's like West Ham's 'I'm forever blowing Bubbles'...at least that goes a long way back in their history.
Rangers - Penny Arcade? ffs!!!
Every man to his own taste Bear, Personally I love the song.Yes it has nothing to with football and is recent in our history But there was a time when the West Ham fans found themselves singing a new song.

The day of the Petro cup final is my daughters birthday. My stupid wife has invited half the family over and promised them I'll be serving one of my specials.
I hope they all like crisps and nuts.

I'd personally prefer not to have Muirhead's lies, bitterness and bigotry on here. I've got no interest in what he has to say.
Yes, I've seen that way of working things before. The next thing we knew was there were a dozen separate campaigns on the go looking to have us thrown out of football, have titles stripped and so on.
Burying heads and ignoring what they have to say is the worst thing to do. It didn't work last time. My post quoting him shows the title-stripping mantra is about to gather pace again. Search around online and you'll see that.

As I said above it was started by Queens Park who play in Glasgow. I believe I read somewhere Queens Park were also declared World Champions at one time. They beat the best English team at that time.
I remember hearing they went 5 years without losing a match.

I hope we are all prepared for next season!,the anti-Rangers tsunami from the whole of Scottish football will reach new levels!.................
Muirhead uses the headline on the Record front page to start spinning the web again -
" The EBT scandal and subsequent fiasco surrounding the handling of it by the Scottish football authorities, saw calls for Rangers to be stripped of honours won during the years that they used the EBT scheme, with accusations of ‘financial doping’ being aimed at the Ibrox side.
These were rejected by the commission set up by the SPL and chaired by Lord Nimmo Smith, who used the initial ruling from the First Tier Tribunal [which found in favour of Rangers], to decide that the club did not gain a ‘sporting advantage’ but fined them £250,000 for failing to declare side letters to the authorities for 11 years.
Since then HMRC appealed two court rulings and won the last won – which saw liquidators of ‘traditional Rangers’ ask for a leave to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, which was granted.
This latest episode surrounding the Rangers financial debacle and tax avoidance issue will pour more fuel on the flames of those demanding that the Ibrox side be stripped of honours won during the EBT years. "

So when it got renovated in the 1990's who paid for the renovation ? Not QP obviously. And who is paying for its upkeep nowadays?
Various national funding ie lottery, the SFA were selling 50p scratch cards to the public for years, etc. I think the SFA got their lease to use Hampden with no charge going to Queens Park in return for funding.

What's wrong with transport links to hampden? Trains, bus, car, all easy as pie.
As someone who lived in the area and sometimes nowadays returns I have to disagree there mate. Pre match is fine. The problems start after the games when traffic comes to a standstill and trains just do not have the capacity. Next time you are there stand back and look at how many folk are heading off on foot walking for miles.
The mistake imo was made years ago when the option of moving out to a brand new stadium with quick connections to motorways. Somewhere like the Linwood byepass or perhaps Motherwell direction.

Written by Mark McGivern. That should tell you all you need to know.
And if Rangers ,as expectedly, win their EBT appeal at the Supreme Court and the EBT scheme is proven to be legal tax avoidance how will HMRC claim any monies from these players ?
The new regulations brought in at the last budget point towards HMRC specifically targeting individuals who benefited from such schemes - from what I read, even if the schemes from the company/trust were not breaking any laws.

As I said on the post about the Suns article, a relative who knows about the subject told me it was garbage. Cops attending matches don't receive any briefing until the day of the game. The police planning department are the only ones who will have looked at the matter - and their main concern is the logistics of the whole thing.

Certainly disappointing and something that new group will need to address going forward.
Most fans imo do not really care about supporters board matters as they quite simply don't have enough information . Their primary concern is attempting to assist the club in any small way they can.

They went up by 5% last season. I'd suspect more this time.
