ian1964 10,780 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 BRIAN LAUDRUP is hurting. And he feels like his heart has been ripped out. The Dane has been watching the incredible events and demise of the Ibrox club, whose supporters treated him with such adulation between 1994 and 1998. Laudrup canâ??t believe such a proud institution has been allowed to slip into the abyss. And he has vowed to help in any way he can, even offering his coaching services for free. Laudrup told SunSport: â??Like every Rangers supporter, and I count myself as a supporter, it feels like my heart has been torn to pieces. â??It is devastating and it must be even more devastating for people who have been following this great club for so many years. â??I have been on the internet every day for the last six or seven months to follow what has been going on. â??I have hoped and prayed everything would be all right in the end, but it looks to be a very difficult time right now. â??I spent four fantastic years with Rangers and they will always be in my heart. I said to my wife Iâ??d love to be able to help in any way I could. Iâ??m just not sure how. â??Even if it was to be part of the management team or coaching youth players. If it is possible, Iâ??d like to help out. â??I know that is not going to solve the crisis, but that is the feeling every player and every former player has right now. â??I spoke to Andy Goram who is as devastated as anyone. I can also imagine Richard Gough sitting in San Diego wondering what he can do. â??Maybe we can all lend a hand and provide a small contribution to get Rangers back. â??I donâ??t know whether that is going to happen, but that is my feeling right now. â??But I know Rangers will never die. There will always be a Rangers. â??Yes, these are difficult times and it is difficult to see what will happen, but you canâ??t just take 140 years away from any club. â??Rangers mean so much to so many people, not only in Scotland but throughout the world.â? It has yet to be determined where exactly a newly-formed Rangers will be playing next season. Laudrup insists SPL clubs have to let the new club back into the top flight, otherwise Scottish football will become a laughing stock around the world. He said: â??I hope the other clubs vote for Rangers to stay in the SPL. I can understand fans throughout Scotland will be quite annoyed with that because of the moral issue. â??But if you were to ask anyone around the world what they know about Scottish football they would say the Old Firm. That would be it. â??That is what makes Scottish football these days. You have to be honest and say that. â??I can understand why clubs would feel they could move into a better position. But for Old Firm games not to be part of Scottish football, it would be terrible. â??We just have to wait and see if clubs can see the bigger picture or whether the moral issue is too much to handle and they are against Rangers. â??If Rangers are in the Third Division you are only going to have one team winning the league. Celtic will be guaranteed titles, but I am not sure that is a good thing for Scottish football.â? The future of the Gers players is uncertain and Laudrup admitted it would be hard to criticise any of them if they decided to leave. He said: â??You could maybe forgive a player who was at a late stage in their career and wanted to move on. It will be a difficult decision and it will be a terrible one to make. â??If Rangers started in the Third Division they would have to work through it and come back stronger. â??The problem right now is what will Ally McCoist have to work with? No one knows what will happen to the squad.â? One person Laudrup has the utmost respect for is Gers boss McCoist â?? and he believes the Ibrox legend can steer them back to glory again. Laudrup said: â??I played in the charity match against AC Milan and Coisty got an amazing reception. It told me he is more popular now than he ever was as a player. â??He was still the same old Coisty, having a laugh and he was very optimistic. â??He might not be now though, and I can almost sense the pain he and the supporters must have. â??Maybe we will look back and see it as a point where they came through it. â??The fans are incredible and I hope it all goes well. No matter what happens, Rangers will be back competing at the highest level within the next four or five years.â?

Gribz 966 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 This guy is a true Gent in every fashion, and he just happens to be our best player ever!! Some people on here was commenting about how Rangers men arent coming forward with cash, yet it takes a Foreigner the first to want to contribute something, whether Laudrup means be a fund or by coaching - regardless he wants to help! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
