There is an alky tramp in charge of the mank supporters who is not shy to stoop to any level whatsoever to defend any perceived slight towards his club or its supporters. That is what our spokespersons should be doing. No matter how low we need to go. I'm fed up with our guys turning the other cheek, ignoring things, or talking about "class". We had years and years of lies and half truths spread by every section of the media about Rangers. Get into them at every opportunity. Name them and call them out every single time. If the club don't want to ban these non-entities fair enough - but I'm certain there are many thousands of Rangers fans who think like I do and who'll maybe reconsider further funding of the club if the silence goes on much longer.

Warburton had a huge budget to work with and got us to the top division. A look at who has turned out to be successful will show how good a manager he was for us. Plan A for Warburton worked, but only against what he expected. He had no plan B. The point I'm making though is - what is the report card asked for in the thread ? The pupils have been largely guff. The teacher changed mid season. The new teacher had to work with what the old one left him. There can't be much debate about our squad. Just about every one of them failed and there's no point in judging the current manager until he's had time to work with his own men. The one thing I've been impressed by is his dropping of serial failures and giving youth a chance. That won't be enough next season but at least shows his thoughts are along the same lines as my own. If somebody is wasting a clean jersey then give a young boy a chance.

I'd to rely on online text updates for reports on todays match. Sportscene highlights were copied but in my current state my telly would be at risk if I watched them at present.

Jackson is a fecking fanny. Who gives a monkeys what he has to say about Rangers ? That is not a criticism of you Ian btw.

Warburton was a disaster but we have a new manager. Those who were patently not good enough should be moved on, but going by their performances who would pay any of them more than the minimum wage ? We got above where I expected us to end up. I'd keep very very few. No need for anywhere near an A4. Next seasons report card will be worth reading. Warburton is why we ended up with dozens of wasted clean track suits. He's now gone.

Rangers 3 - 1. FGS - Tavernier. " PEDRO CAIXINHA has made five changes to his Rangers side to take on St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park this afternoon. From the team that were defeated by Aberdeen in midweek, out go goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, Lee Hodson, Barrie McKay, Joe Dodoo and Joe Garner. That means it’s a debut for goalkeeper Jak Alnwick in goals following his January move from Port Vale. In front of him will be a back four of James Tavernier, David Bates, Aidan Wilson and Myles Beerman. In midfield, there is a first ever start for 18 year-old Jamie Barjonas, and he is joined there by Jon Toral, Josh Windass and Jason Holt. Up front, Martyn Waghorn will play with Kenny Miller. There is also some interesting news on the bench with another 18 year-old in Kyle Bradley featuring alongside Foderingham, Academy players Ross Lyon and Serge Atakayi, Andy Halliday, Barrie McKay and Joe Dodoo. "

At the start of Rodgers tenure I said exactly the same thing to a pilgrim brought into my local by a bear I know. I was accused of being " a bigot". The bear and his pal are now off my postcard list .

Sorry JH but that is just simply sowing discord. He knew practically nothing about Rangers before he arrived. He's been here longer than 30 minutes. If you have evidence of which shadowy figure is making appointments to the club without the approval of our manager I'd be obliged if you told the rest of us. This is not the first time I've read here of a "he's not our manager signing" post. Unless proof is provided it does nothing but harm to Rangers.

A good goal too.

I am amused by this Garners heading ability thing. It was only a couple of games ago we were talking about the ball coming off the corner of his head. He's managed to score from a talent every single football player should have before he ever got near a youth team .

To be honest RS, I don't see the problem as Naismith, rather with Garner. The guy seems to have mental, never mind professional problems and I'd wager money that in 50% of European matches he'd suffer a rush of blood to the head seeing us reduced to 10 men with the subsequent loss of income. Being truthful I'd have it written to that guys contract that a sending off saw him lose 6 months wages. That's how unstable I view that player. He's selfish, has very little ability and can in no way be regarded as a team player.

It took him a wee while following his injury but he also returned to his previous form. I'll agree, he's better than anything we currently have.

" Nottingham Forest have been bought by Greek shipping magnate Evangelos Marinakis after his takeover was passed by the English Football League (EFL). The businessman and Olympiakos owner is facing accusations of match-fixing in Greece but has passed the EFL's owners' and directors' test. Marinakis' buyout brings to an end Fawaz Al Hasawi's five-year reign in charge of the Championship club. A previous takeover by a United States consortium fell through in January. In an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, Marinakis said that allegations he is involved in a "criminal organisation" were invented by "jealous" opponents to "destroy" his success with the Greek champions. He was previously accused of being involved in the bombing of a referee's bakery but faced no action. Marinakis, who is heading a consortium with Greek businessman Socrates Kominakis, denies all the claims and has not faced any charges. He is waiting to find out whether a remaining case against him will proceed, but says: "I have nothing to be afraid of and to worry about as I have done nothing wrong." The EFL has approved the deal after reviewing the business plan and applying the owners' and directors' test. It saw no reason to disqualify the prospective owners under the test. The EFL also asked Uefa for its views on Marinakis' ownership of Olympiakos and received a positive response. " http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39962342

I've always liked him as a player.

At times it's been difficult to watch. Given the absolute dumplings that Warburton seems to have signed I'd say we did as well as could be expected. Next season will tell if we're on the right road.

Rangers 2-0. FGS - Miller.

Which is why I held the opinion that C1872 should have been kept totally separate from the club itself. Nobody with connections to Rangers FC should have been allowed onto the board of C1872. It is fans money that's going into the club . Yes, invite them along to answer questions or to listen to points of view. But keep them separate. We seem now to have a position where a Rangers employee is in control of much of the fans money. That should never have been allowed to happen.

And hold fresh elections. I thought at the time of it being set up there were too many egos involved. If we don't sort this out right now the whole idea is going to fall apart.

" Rangers defender Lee Hodson has gone on record today saying “it would be nice” to see Kyle Lafferty return to Ibrox. And he could get his wish very soon, with the bookies making it even-money for the Northern Irishman to return to Govan. The former Gers forward has been open about his exit from Rangers being the “biggest regret” of his career. But with the 30-year-old having now parted ways with Norwich City, and Pedro Caixinha reportedly keen on his signature, a move could well be on the cards. In fact, it’s 6/5 he joins the club as soon as this summer. And there’s little doubt the former Canaries man would be an excellent addition to the Gers squad.

No central defence, a midfield posted missing in action, and a centre forward who couldn't score in a brothel - things could be better.

I watched yesterdays match today and have to say we were so far ahead of Hearts it was embarrassing. How we didn't win by 4 or 5 goals is my only wonder.

They've been supplying UEFA with details for months now mate.

The usual suspects have been running with our funding being an issue and shoving the line that a licence should be denied to us. They don't seem to understand that not all funding is the same.

You too my friend. The rest of the lads and lassies too. I look forward to the next one.
