  1. Horrific as it is, the fans can and will have to find another way of investing their money into the club
  2. I liked the wee man and will miss him, however it's clear he wanted away so best of luck to him and he goes with my good wishes, good servant to Rangers
  3. Sviatchenko plays for them, tough one but we should be looking forward to the challenge, if we play to our best then we should be ok
  4. You used to be able to go on official website and view from your seat, not sure if you can still do that?
  5. Davis is a brilliant signing, pure class.
  6. All joking aside, I would rather keep him for another season, if he is successful again he will be worth even more
  7. I hear you, however I see it as giving money to the club so I will buy it as I can't make it to the match
  8. I was sceptical when we signed him, yet trusted SG, and I have to say what a professional he is and still knows his way to goal, his fitness is not in question. What I am wondering is, when does his contract run out with Bournemouth? and is he someone we should be looking to sign again if he is a free agent? can we afford him?., and would the majority of Rangers fans want to sign him?. I would like to see him play next season again depending on the wages!!.
  9. RANGERS’ host Blackburn Roberts at Ibrox on Sunday and the match will be available to supporters on RangersTV across the world. https://rangers.co.uk/news/rangers-tv/blackburn-friendly-live-on-rtv/
  10. His auld man and his side of the family are Separate Entity FC fans, his mum and her side of the family are Rangers fans, if I remember Johnnyk correctly?
  11. Both need to stay if we are to seriously challenge for the title, selling our best players won't win us the title.
  12. A COLLECTION of 21 medals belonging to Ibrox legend and former Rangers captain, Bobby Shearer, has gone to auction in Glasgow. The haul, which was sold by the family of the late player, covers the period 1955 to 1965 and is believed to be the largest set of Rangers medals to feature in a single auction. Amongst the items that went under the hammer were the ex-skipper's League Cup and League Championship medals from Rangers momentous treble winning 1963/64 season, which fetched £2,600 and £1,900 respectively at McTear’s Sporting Medals and Trophies Auction. In addition, the sale also included the player’s finalist medal from the European Cup Winner’s Cup in 1961, which Rangers lost over two legs to Fiorentina. The lot sold for £2,700 on the day. Bobby’s wife, Helen Shearer, said: “I wasn’t a big football fan but I enjoyed going to the games to support Robert. "He loved playing for Rangers and was very well respected by all the players. He was tough on the pitch but always fair. “He had lots of football friends, including a lot of folk at Celtic. Robert was lucky enough to play with and against many great players who became close friends. "He was honoured to become the captain of Rangers Football Club and captained the treble winning team in 1963/64." “There are a lot of lovely memories tied in to the collection, and the family have kept a few medals, but to be honest I thought the time was right for the others to come out of their boxes and to be passed on to football fans who will treasure them.” Nicknamed Captain Cutlass due to his combative playing style, Bobby Shearer played right back for Rangers in 407 games between 1955 and 1965. During his time at Ibrox he won five league titles, three Scottish Cups and four League Cups, and also played four times for Scotland. He passed away on November 6, 2006, aged 74. Brian Clements from McTear’s, said: “Bobby Shearer was a true Rangers legend who picked up every honour going in the Scottish game, including a treble haul of medals in season 1963/64. “We see a lot of Old Firm medals coming through the doors at McTear’s but this was by far the largest collection associated with a single player. "There were some fantastic individual pieces which resulted in a lot of interest from football fans across the country.” In addition to the Rangers items, the Bobby Shearer collection also included medals from the player’s time in the RAF in the early fifties. His wife Helen added: “Wherever Robert was posted he would play football. "When he was in the north of Scotland he won a tournament with Inverness Thistle and he also won a medal playing for the Royal Air Force Football Association.” https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/17783200.former-rangers-captain-bobby-shearers-medal-haul-goes-hammer/
