If it is genuine then we should seriously look at not dealing with BBC Scotland, if they can't be trusted to respect an embargo.

Less than an hour to wait and see 👀 😃

More comebacks than me 😃😃

N Not sure if this is genuine

They have done this previously but as their statement aludes to, they fell out with Rangers staff and board. Their TIFOs are normally fantastic, with a couple of exceptions (but nobody is perfect). They must be praised for the work, cost and dedication that goes into these displays. Look forward to 2025/2026 being an exciting new chapter for the UBs.

The other night. Jumped on to see what the chat was around the new manager. The forum is still buzzing away nicely. 🫡

When did you reappear again?

Some need to remember just how mediocre we are. We're never going to be able to attract top managers. Martin wasn't my 1st pick, or 2nd for that matter but let's not write the guy before he's even signed a contract. Some wanted Ancelotti because of the big names he could tempt to come with him to Rangers but he still might've been a terrible appointment. Time will tell.

I'll PM you one. I can also update your email address.

When I joined this site I was using a different email address and I have forgotten my password (which is just a line of asterisks when I log in). Due to the bizarre array of advertisements on the site, I plan to start using adblocker. How do I change/update my password?

At least Pressley is out of the running. Small mercies.

I'm starting a rumour that Naismith is the real managerial appointment. Russell Martin is just the frontman to make it easier to sell to the support.

When do Celtic change their style domestically? Seems their "one style" has been rather successful for about 15 years now. SG rarely change his style and we went an entire league season undefeated. Seems to me if the style works, there is no need to alter it. We just need to find a style that works.

Right. He was good enough at Dunfermline but disappointed on the step up. Very good manager though he got lucky in a cup final which saved his bacon.

"Rumours" that started as a throwaway line of FF, now being taken seriously. However, it would explain his 1hr long interview with one of the fan media platforms last week (can't remember which one). Hopefully just a coincidence.

We all know nothing is official until it's official. Regardless of that, I'm still concerned about the prospect of Martin becoming Rangers manager. I've been saying for years we need someone who doesn't stick to one style/formation. It's boring and easily found out, even by the dross we play most weeks.

The attacking part of Tav's game stopped being effective when Clement "reigned in" our fullbacks. This was about 3 months after he took charge, when we were top of the league (with Tav contributing goals and assists). As the saying goes, the rest is history.

He did and he was. Don't think he lied, but the person he claimed told him this died before the accusations arose (in his autobiography). A very very close friend of Walter Smith, a person who has never hidden his support of Rangers (1st on the team bus when we beat Leeds, sitting before a Man U game on a chair watching an OF game are just a couple of examples). As for your point about him being an average CF, I think SAF would agree with that assessment.

Pro-tip: Avoid depression by not believing any old rubbish you read in the press or online.

I think the lesson for today is not to jump to conclusions. It may still turn out to be Russell Martin, but better to await the official announcement. However, if it is a straight fight between DA and RM, they're a much of a muchness for me.

Deep trouble.

Said above, Martins style is very similar to Rodgers style. That would suggest its suited to domestic games but may lead to some tonkings in Europe.

The fact that Leicester have not announced RM as manager seems to me that’s he’s still in with a chance with us. Bit like Eddie Howe and them, only in reverse.

I long for the days when we first heard about a manager or signing when the player or manger was announced by the club! Mind you that was before Gersnet
