Funnily enough I’ve achieved everything in life I ever set out to. Two daughters, a wife & a decent job. Own house & car. I earned every penny I ever spent. Never conned anybody or ripped them off either..

Murray didn’t put a penny into Rangers, as I’m sure you well know, apart from maybe the 6million he paid up front in 1988. He got the bank & various individuals (including Dave King) to loan us the money, which even then I doubt amounted to £160million. If it was his own money, he’d have been bankrupted in 2012 & we’d have continued to thrive, not the other way round. David Murray and Craig Whyte are the worst examples of ‘entrepreneurs’ (the French word for crook) buying football clubs, but that isn’t the only disgrace this Labour policy seeks to redress. Considering the truly obscene wages paid to players & agents by Premier League clubs in England, it actually beggars belief that only 4 out of 20 even pay matchday staff the living wage. Even more outrageous considering the prices they charge tourists & fans for the merchandise these workers are selling. It is simply unjustifiable.

We would probably be exactly where we are, as we wouldn’t have needed King & co to bail us out in the first place! There would have been no Craig Whyte, Charles Green & Mike Ashley, and no liquidation. Only difference is we wouldn’t have been waiting 8 years for a major trophy. In any case Dave King doesn’t own Rangers, yet is prepared to put money in. We are actually not far from the community ownership model already.

Sorry but you’re all wrong (well most of you). Football clubs are vital public assets & should be owned by nobody except the community they serve. If you don’t like it then go and live in Monaco..

Has everybody forgotten Craig Whyte now then??

Only clubs seen as ‘right-wing’ get stands closed by Uefa.

That’s a bit optimistic! Get 10 points and we’d still be well in contention. 15 and we’d have it won before Xmas!

Ok. Good luck if you did back us at 5/1 though! So far it is similar to Liverpool/Man City down south, ie the difference is we have been picking up points when we played bad, but celtic seem to drop them. I reckon they might pip us at the post this year, but we will use the disappointment to win it next year. Just a hunch..

Anybody willing to admit that London Dykes might genuinely be a good player yet..?

Unless we play them in the League Cup final..

Sorry mate but I don’t know where you got those odds from. Rangers were round about evens with most bookies when the league started. Dunno where you got 5/1 from, was that maybe a boost on Skybet??

To be totally honest, neither squad has more than one or 2 genuine legends. Not like the AC Milan game a few years ago. They brought a proper legends squad!

Seeing a lot of complaints about the quality of ‘legend’ playing. I think we want to see a decent game, so would rather not see 57 year old Richard Gough up against a 35 year old Torres tbh. We don’t have any real legends under 50, so Gerrard will pretty much have to play for us to even it up. I’d have rather seen real Gers legends up against the likes of Beardsley, Barnes, Grobelaar etc. But Liverpool seem to take these games seriously & are sending quite a young squad..

Where are you seeing that mate..?

Incidentally, I watched ‘the theory of everything’ about Stephen Hawking last night. Quite inspirational, and Eddie Redmayne’s portrayal of the scientist was well worthy of his Oscar. Felicity Jones was great as his wife as well. Well worth a watch!
