Join Us On The Journey

[ian1964 10,811]

LEE McCULLOCH would love Rangers fans to carry on their journey back to the top of Scottish football next season with the team in a league he thinks will be the best in Scotland.

 

The Light Blues will contest the Championship with a host of clubs including Hearts and Hibernian, both of whom will drop down from the Premiership.

 

An intriguing campaign is shaping up and while Gers will be favourites to claim the title, it’s clear they will be pushed far more than they have in the last two year if that’s to happen.

 

The public sale of season tickets starts tomorrow and McCulloch hopes supporters snap them up to ensure Ally McCoist’s men are given every chance possible of winning the crown.

 

McCulloch was speaking in Toronto at the 2014 NARSA convention, where more than 1,000 fans came together over the weekend.

 

He was joined in Canada by his team-mates Stevie Smith, Lewis Macleod, Luca Gasparotto, Nicky Clark and Fraser Aird as well as chief executive Graham Wallace.

 

Season tickets can be purchased in person at the Rangers Ticket Centre, online at rangers.co.uk or by phone on 0871 702 1972. Calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras.

 

Club captain McCulloch said: “The fans have been brilliant. They’ve kept us going and whether it’s the home support or the away support, they’ve filled stadiums to cheer us on.

 

“The way they get behind the team is fantastic and for us as players, it can give us such a push forward.

 

“We’ve got some young kids in our team and it’s great for them as much as it is for the likes of myself.

 

“We need the fans and everybody knows that. Without them there won’t be a Rangers so hopefully they can keep coming to support us.

 

“They’ve been great so far with us but now things are getting harder and we’ll really need them there by our side.

 

“If they do that, we’ll do everything we can to do the business on the pitch and it’ll make it a bit easier for us in what looks like being a very interesting season.

 

“It’s going to be a great league and with Hibs and Hearts in there as well as the pull of Rangers, it’s a division a lot of people will see as being the most exciting in Scotland.”

The club have certainly made the most of NARSA's publicity by using its popularity to feed us propaganda.

Strange how Wallace will go to US and face the fans yet not in Scotland.

Leaving aside the politics for a moment, there is nothing more depressing than the idea of Lee McCulloch still being a part of this journey.

 

He spoke about appearing for Rangers again in Europe a few weeks ago and as he appears to be the first name on Ally's teamsheet, he probably believes that he'll still be in the first team when it happens, even if it takes several years.

 

The sooner Rangers parts company with McCulloch and McCoist, the sooner it will stand a chance of having a half-decent future.

 

An Ally McCoist managed team captained by Lee McCulloch is as good as any political reason not to go anywhere near Ibrox.

NARSA has a reputation for being obedient. It is populated in the main by older fans who tend to buy into the dignified silence ethos that has damaged the club so deeply over the years.

 

I'm told that it invited Chick Young over to host a NARSA event a few years ago. Even in this modern age of instant communication, NARSA is often perceived to be out of touch.

 

The club loves it though - and no wonder. Away from Scotland, they can have a largely untroubled jolly.

 

It's strange. They engage with NARSA as though they were Ibrox regulars, but they keep a safe distance from those who really are Ibrox regulars.

I am in general agreement but it these 2 chaps stuck by the club in the severe dark days, so it should be a case of thank you very much but time to move on.

On message.

 

Ker-ching.

Rangers reduced to a level where McCulloch finally became effective instead of being, as he too often was at the top level, a passenger.

 

Rangers' plight was the best thing that ever happened to McCulloch. It extended his career and made him a hero. If he'd been as young as Naismith he'd surely have walked away - and he'd have been right to do so.

 

Now, he's in the Hall of Fame, a place that he had no chance of being included in if we hadn't dropped three divisions.

Then don`t go back.

I wish the players and management would stop trying to patronise us.
