Four lads, a dream ignited,
Rangers' flame, forever bright.
No fortune fuels their burning quest,
Just tradition, put to the test.
With hearts ablaze and spirits high,
We will reach for greatness, touch the sky.
No wealth we crave, no riches we  seek,
Just Rangers' glory, strong and meek.
If fortune smiles, then let it be,
But first, the soul, for all to see.
Four lads, a dream, a timeless call,
To make Rangers great, standing tall. 
 

If you wrote that well done.

My three  things in life I love are Rangers family my family and my Armed Forces family. 

 

I wrote this last year Driving along the A93 

 

    

 

 Things that are forever seen

 

              

I set off yesterday morning along the A93 from Braemar,to Balmoral,along the River Dee. I’ll  always remember, with a poppy on my car, on the battles we fought both near and far. It helps to evaluate my sometimes sombre mood on how important it is to live each and every day and not to just squander it or throw it all away.

As I reach Aboyne,I'm suddenly welled up with pride as a guard of honour is laid on by each side. Row after row of poppies painted red to honour our present,the fallen, and dead. I take a left, I think it's along the B993, where my mind starts to wonder at some of the things we take granted for free.

If you have a car, display your poppy with pride. As it's a poignant reminder, a call to dare, I say, to withstand.

For each poppy displayed,a story is told,

Of bravery and sacrifice, of hearts pure and bold.

It's not just a flower, but a beacon of light,

For those who were/are willing to put up a good fight.

Wear your poppy with pride and grace,

A symbol of honor, a noble place.

         

          Lest we forget

It's been barely mentioned what effect the loss of Andries Ulderink had on Clement and the team. The assistant manager is usually the bridge between the manager and the players, the person a player goes to if he has something he wants to discuss, the one the manager relies on to get across his ideas, keep on top of training and have a quiet word when required. Ulderink had a low profile with the support, but I wonder how important he was to Clement and the squad. 

 

I'm with @Rousseau, as unpopular as it clearly is I'd have kept Clement in place until the director of football is appointed or the takeover happens, which ever comes first. No way we can appoint a permanent successor now, no one sane is taking the job until those things are sorted out. Barry Ferguson apparently being in the running for the job is utterly depressing.

RANGERS Football Club can today announce Hall of Fame member and former club captain, Barry Ferguson, is to become Head Coach of our men’s first team until the end of the season.

 

Ferguson, who won five league titles, five Scottish Cups and five League Cups across two spells at Ibrox, will be joined by coaches Issame Charai, Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor.

Rangers CEO, Patrick Stewart, commented: “Philippe and his team have worked tirelessly during their time in at the club and have played an important role in developing the first team’s young players.

 

“I want to reiterate, the issues we are facing run deeper than the manager. The ongoing football review seeks to address those issues, and we will continue to implement its findings in the coming weeks and months ahead of appointing a new, permanent manager.

 

“When I spoke to RangersTV last week, I was clear that everyone is judged on results, and nobody will get unlimited time in any role at the club. Ultimately, the team’s response following their early exit from the Scottish Cup was a cause for deep concern, leading the board to conclude that action had to be taken now.

 

“I want to wish Philippe every success in the future. He is a fine man whom I have enjoyed working with in my short time here so far.

 

“I also want to welcome Barry back to the club. We appreciate him and his team stepping into the role at this difficult time. Myself, the board and the executive team will give them our full support for the rest of the campaign.”

We have ceased being a serious football club.

Dodds and McCann  -  did they do well in their last coaching jobs?

[Rousseau 11,353]

It's depressing, but I don't think it matters; It's temporary. 

 

We just need to get through it.
