The Rangers board will have contingency plans in place for this eventuality. Won't they....???

Rumours of an issue regarding the steel have been doing the rounds for weeks.

 

Today I took part in a meeting at Ibrox via Teams and was told that "everything was on schedule", the meeting ended at 1pm, 2pm statement released confirming delay.

 

We are an omnishambles.

That is embarrassing.  Why lie to people when you know you're going to have to tell them the truth an hour later?  The only explanation I can think of is cowardice.

Why are we importing materials from Asia they will be like everything else from that part of the world crap second rate materials if it’s metal then there’s a steel stockholders just along the road Asia for materials my arse sounds like a cowboy project.

Like it or not, Asia is the factory of the rest of the world now. We in the UK do not produce enough steel, that's a fact. There's been a huge excess worldwide demand for metals since covid, and before. If you want to use steel not produced outwith the UK, Ibrox will be out of action for wayyyyy longer, and we'd have no money left for players.

If only Murray International Metals was still involved.

Just send a couple of men along the road to Barclay Mathieson at Hardgate road about half a mile from the front door at Ibrox and they will supply you with the steel you need

They don't manufacture steel, merely a distributor. I'd be amazed if their product isn't asian manufactured.
