As with all others who move on, our thanks for all he did while he was at Rangers and our best wishes for his future. He will carry the memory of that Scottish Cup final goal for the rest of his life. Very few can do that.

Seems fair, reasonable, and accurate. Pacific Quay could, then, become known as The Glory Hole: again fair, reasonable, and accurate.

Getting Wright off the wage bill is a good thing, regardless of the fee. Good luck to him but we need better players.

Should be fine in most pubs around the city centre and Ibrox, as long as they allow football colours and the behaviour is relatively civilised. Avoid Celtc slophouses - they're easy to spot as the patrons have monobrows, beady eyes, are unable to go a day without wearing club colours (green and a brownish white) and bad BO.

Not RAB's Cup of Tea. The news broke on Friday last, Neil Doncaster and Murdoch MacLennan apologised and agreed to pay compensation to Rangers. Further, both agreed to sanction an independent review into the governance of the SPFL. This was the end of a two year spat between Rangers and the SPFL over the Cinch sponsorship deal. Rangers had argued their existing contract agreement with Park's prevented them from providing advertising inventory to a competitor in the motor vehicle industry. When the SFA gave permission to Rangers to progress their intent to sue the SPFL, all agreed their position had been completely vindicated. Rangers had won and the SPFL owed several hundred thousand pounds in legal fees. SPFL Chief Executive, Neil Doncaster and SPFL Chairman, Murdoch MacLennan decided to railroad through the Cinch deal despite being informed by Rangers beforehand that their existing contract with Park's prevented the club's compliance. The force utilised by the SPFL duo involved numerous mendacious briefings of Journos in both print and broadcast media. Basically, they were given absolute assurances that the SPFL were right absolutely whereas, Rangers were in the wrong again. PQ and, Michael Stewart in particular lost no time in conveying such pernicious propaganda. The conclusion to this saga is most embarrassing and, indeed humiliating for the SPFL duo. The SPFL is a members' organisation and the clubs will have to decide whether Doncaster and MacLennan should be disciplined for their actions. They promised a money making deal and it now appears the only club that will benefit in pecuniary terms will be Rangers. The Cinch deal has cost every other club. I note over the weekend, the Journos NOT compelled to do what Peter tells them; have compared the conclusion of this spat alongside the Jim Farry - Jorge Cadette incident. Our national broadcaster, BBC Scotland have exhibited absolute loyalty to Peter, their discussion on Friday's news occurred on Sunday at three O'Clock. Liam Mcleod and Tom English spent an entire four(4) minutes imparting background knowledge and views. We endured four hours of, 'Off the Ball' over the weekend and RAB Cosgrove who never misses an opportunity to get after 'the Blazers' said nothing, not one word on Friday's news. Of course, go back a couple of years and he was delighted to join the SPFL inspired pile-on. He was a willing contributor to the Michael Stewart conducted chorus. RAB is a tireless drummer for Scots nationalism, "this is new, modern Scotland". In his seventy-second year, increasingly he articulates a narrow personalised nationalism. His Username on the Rangers Tax Case Blog was a homage to his Donegal born maternal grandmother, 'Sarah Leyden'. Last weekend, he told of his love for avuncular bearded Irishmen; his guest was Paddy Duffy. Yesterday, whilst talking about pet hates he announced, "I won't have Twinings tea in my house. During the Irish potato famine, Twinings forced my great-grandparents off their Galway farm". The Celtic State of Mind is such at PQ that RAB is bringing new terminology to the grievance politics of nationalism. The Green Brigade accuse elements of ra Sellik Board as being, 'soup takers'; RAB has added the term, 'tea takers'. Clearly, the events of Friday last require a whole lot of sweeteners in comparison to events of 180 years ago. In RAB's mind, Tom English must be a 'tea-taker'; he is not bearded and certainly, his avuncularism needs work. In four minutes he told Liam McLeod he had spoken to a number of club Chairmen about the apology and the costs incurred. He related all were angry, they had been informed the SPFL were 100% in the right and Rangers 100% in the wrong. Further, they want to know where the money for compensation and legal fees are coming from, because the SPFL is not flush. He ended with, "Sadly none of the Chairs want to put their heads above the parapet, this is extremely messy and Rangers have won". Liam McLeod dd not put this topic out for panel discussion, it was guillotined after Tom English stopped speaking. I suspect the other members of the panel, Rachel Corsie and Richard Foster were happy to do as Peter told them? Talking of which, Fozzie had no qualms about launching into an attack of recent Rangers re-signing, Leon Balogun. He was pushing at an open door as he told Liam McLeod he was not a fan of Balogun's first spell, a poor defender and, given his age, "I think it's a bit desperate of Rangers". It would appear Motherwell's first team coach is determined to fast track himself into the position PQ's latest useful idiot. What is in the tea at BBC Scotland? I am of a mind to send a Twinings tea bag to PQ, addressed to RAB with an accompanying message, 'Have a drink on me".

Talk of 5.5M for Wright and Kamara. Personally I think that's great business

I think Michael Stewart should henceforth be known as the Bonus Hole.

Continuing the thrust of Scott7's comparison; if the Royal Artillery are nine mile snipers, then Nicolas Fairbairn was a chutney sniper.

I've not seen that much of him, but what I have seen of him suggests he's got a real chance. He's clearly got ability and a decent reading of the game and he seems to have his head screwed on. I know Motherwell were really disappointed to lose him. He was the best player on the pitch in the cup final against Celtic at the end of last season despite being one of the youngest playing. The small caveat I'd make is he has the physique of a grown man. That's a huge advantage in age group football, it really helps a young player stand out if they're physically stronger than pretty much every other player on the pitch. It will allow him to move on to 'adult' football quickly . Rangers haven't been good at nurturing the talent in the youth teams, so that's against him, but it would be fantastic if he made an impact this season.

Guys, just came across this website, you can view full matches from way back and up to date. You have to sign up for it, free, takes seconds to do so. I have watched a couple of matches now, currently watching Rangers 1972 Cup Winners Cup final win. https://footballia.eu/?locale=en

'Arsehole' fits perfectly.

Don't know about the validity of this source, but:

Worth another £300000 at least poor bit of business.

Makes you wonder if £500,000 is entirely appropriate.

My father was Royal artillery for many years before the war and after.

Oh yes he did prosecution work I seen him in Glasgow high court it was a joy to watch he was like an accomplished Shakespearian actor work was put on hold I attended for the full trial .

Stats guy on Twitter, Joost, has Danilo performing at almost exactly the same level as Gimenez. I’ve got a good feeling about Danilo. https://twitter.com/joostvanderleij/status/1619066905243062272?s=46

I watched his techno/trance/dub step backed (muted) highlight vid on the Youtubes...seems decent. However, he doesn't appear to be quite at the single name level. I will be referring to him as Mr. Da Silva until such a time comes.

oh he comfortably is and may be going to the likes of man utd for 25 million.

Have you compared their minutes played?

who is suspended for the first 2 cl games.

If we start getting far ahead this season (fingers crossed) then miraculously the compliance officer and strict liability will reappear

With MLS on their mid-season break after this weekends fixtures, so timing would make sense.

Cifuentes incoming... According to a good source. Well see.

My bad, I don't think tiktok links work, some other pish pops up when you click on it. Just Google rio ferdiband Walter Smith, it'll be one of the first results.

Your inability to see our set-up never fails to amaze me. We played with a front-two under Beale; a 4-4-2 diamond.

I'm waiting for @JohnMc to come along and tell us that, in fact, Bailey Rice is p*sh and won't make it before I get on the hype wagon.

If Harry Kane has any sense he would see out his contract and sign for a Saudi club can you imagine the signing on fee and wages
