Dick was on Dutch TV just now with two members of his Curaçao coaching team. They talked about Curaçao and how if you were new, you had to sing a song or do a dance. It showed a video of Dick singing Simply the best. When it came back live, Dick had tears running down his face and couldn't speak. When he was asked why he was so emotional, his assistant answered that the song came from Glasgow Rangers, and Dick considers that the best time of his life. He loved the people and his time there.

Callum McGregor has also been nominated for the Scottish Football Writers' Association Referee of the Year award.

Should only get one vote, then in the future when someone says 'Always wanted such and such" we can consult the vote and see if they're lying bastards imo.

He's taken my FGS off... The b*st*rd, gaslighting pr*ck!! #BarryOut

I find the situation really strange. When the TIFO was unfurled, I thought it was quite strong - the wording especially - but also very funny given the date, the Star Wars association and the banners at the Celtic Park fixture recently. For the club to react like they did is nothing short of farcical. Yes, we need not and should not be defined by other clubs but there was no reason to release any statement with the sort of urgency they showed. Hopefully it's a lesson learned for a few people.

Season finished last September didn't it..... 👀

Thinking back to 1945. While the world rejoiced at the end of the war, life, like football, found a way to carry on. We lifted the Southern League trophy that year – a small beacon of joy in a world still healing. And as our brave soldiers returned home imagine what the emotions at Ibrox would have been like , a community that had undoubtedly seen loved ones go off to fight. That Southern League win in '45 would have been a moment of shared joy, a small piece of normalcy returning as our heroes, weary but unbroken, started to come home. The same spirit that drove our team to victory on the pitch , fighting for what we hold dear, I often wonder what the atmosphere at Ibrox would have been like? To me, it was more than a noise; it was a lifeline, a sense of coming home. I've been on the pitch after I came back from Afghanistan, and I have to tell you, seeing the Blue Sea rise, especially after losing friends, makes you realise the love and support each Rangers fan gives us is truly speechless. To this day, it is still one of my greatest moments in life. The roar of the crowd shakes the foundations of our stadium. I suppose that's the Rangers family. Just like then, it would have been an overwhelming sense of gratitude, a silent understanding of the battles fought on a far greater field. These were not just heroes on the battlefield; they were our neighbours, our family, fellow supporters who understood the true meaning of fighting for what you believe in. Tomorrow, as we mark VE Day, though it is a day of poignant remembrance for us all, especially for those who fell, as a veteran, I'd like to say thank you for the support. It means the world and would no doubt have meant a lot to those returning home to loved ones and family. WATP.

Should the SPFL not be asking other clubs too about their supporters banners?

Just sent my last sixty five pound to Rangers. This kind of dedication is not for everyone though. Not everyone is a real Rangers supporter.

What’s the point of a thread with nobody else on it?

An Avengers team of 'Rangers men' like Barry, Dodds, McCann, McGregor would p*ss this leag-- Oh.

I'll just close the poll, then...

You made a good point. And then followed it up with pointless vitriol. Make your point here, then get the vitriol off your chest on Twatter.

My Dad was in the navy for the entire war and Armistice Day and special anniversaries were very hard for him as he remembered those who did not come home. Time, if anything, made it more difficult for him. He was at both Dunkirk and D Day among many other theatres of war. We support Erskine, Poppy Day and Armed Forces charities in his memory.

I would also like to thank you and all the men and women who fought in the war and indeed other wars. My uncle lost his leg in the war and lived in Erskine hospital estate for years. Living in Holland and Germany for 45 years, I used to love the stories of my wife's family of how they worked for the resistance. Sneaking out at night to gain information, bring food to people in hiding It wasn't only soldiers who risked their lives, without resistance information it would have been more difficult.

Credit to the FAB for putting the points forward to the board, covering most of the main points. The response from the club is verging on pathetic. They still haven't stated what was wrong with the display other than in the most general of terms. To try and put the blame onto the police who "seized the banner at half time" (the photos show it was seized the following day) which nobody knew about is crazy. It's the board's statement that caused the front page headlines and to try and shift the blame is cowardly. they then contradict themselves by saying that we have to protect the identity and traditions that define us, whereas they have done the exact opposite. Patrick Stewart has done a huge amount of damage to himself with the support. I'm not sure he will survive long term. Politically he may benefited from saying that we may have been hasty in issuing the statement but to double down has completely lost any support he had from a large section of the support, and that's not good for anyone.

What's particularly disappointing is none of the 2019 Alkas Cup winning side have made the step up to our first team. There were boys in that side that really looked like they could make it, yet none of them have. Nathan Young-Coombes is currently without a club. Kai Kennedy was named player of the tournament, he plays for Queen Of The South now, Aaron Lyall at Morton, Ciaran Dickson is in prison, captain Kyle McClelland was released by Rangers and played for Coleraine this season. Adam Devine is still with us but for how much longer, and Lewis Budinauckas but as he can't get into the Thistle team on loan currently, I'm not confident he's displacing Kelly or Butland anytime soon. Alex Lowry was the one who probably had the best opportunity but he's currently not troubling the Wycombe Wanderers first team very often. It's not too much to think that at least a couple of those players could have become decent squad players by now at least. You wonder if winning that tournament, and the adulation and expectation that followed it, was the worst thing that could happen to them. If Birmingham want to keep our players I can't imagine we'll be making that difficult for them.

I sent an email to the address given by @L72and received a response, just the usual format to confirm my son is actually Non-speaking and Autistic but with all the relevant paper work and subject to availability, Broxis Den may become a dream for him to watch the game in a secure environment he feels safe in. Thanks Again 👊

Wearing a polyester t-shirt that cost a fortune and looks awful is just silly, regardless of club loyalty. I prefer to lull people into a false sense of security before unleashing my bigotry. 😀

After a late flag Forest player in intensive care having collided with post. T have several rimes posted that someday there would be a severe injury as a result of the rule and now ir;s happened. Wishing the guy a good recovery,

Interesting that he has given the board and the new SD a warning around timescales a few times. He is really stressing a sense of urgency around getting ready for the CL qualifiers. Glad someone has finally twigged that timescales are tight and moving quickly is important.

Rousseau, report yourself, you've voted 3 times 😂

He likes to keep things tight.

Is Ebenezer any Goode ?

Rangers manager Philippe Clement hailed the signing as a significant boost to the club’s defensive ranks ahead of a crucial season. Suggests the accuracy of that story...

Ferguson is picking the team based on what's best for Ferguson and not what's best for the club in the medium term. It shouldn't matter if Lawrence is doing better in training. He's gone soon and not part of next season. Cortes will still be our player and desperately needs game time. Ferguson wants the win so it looks good on his CV/record, rather than thinking about the club for next season.

The word obligation seems to confuse people. We've bought him, the payment was deferred (finance reasons). I wouldn't read too much into Ferguson's decisions. I'm hoping with a full pre-season and a new manager, the player will come good.

You'd pick Barron if he was an unused sub 😂

The sentiment is shared. But you can make the point without using that kind of language.

Dear SPFL, Picture of Graeme Souness and a Star Wars reference. Sincerely, Rangers FC.

Edwards led Forest Green Rovers to promotion. Some pedigree. O’Neill got his jotters from Wolves who have soared to respectable safety since he left. Gerrard we know about and what’s likely to happen. Martin we know about as a player. Sacked by Swansea. Carry on with the search.

The fact the banner is still being discussed at length shows how weak we have become as a club and a support. They had a banner celebrating a convicted terrorist murderer a few weeks ago. They hate us and will always find something to get offended about. Stop caring what they think. The banner should've said paedo scum instead of rebel scum but other than that it was terrific and everything football rivalry is about.

As soon as I saw the banner my heart leapt with joy but my head took over instantly: Souness: devil incarnate. Shotgun: troubles, violence peace process (remember that last one?) Take aim: incitement to violence. Rebel scum: oh no; what a bead-clutcher. The media, SPFL/SFA, Scottish government firestorm would be immediate and immense and never ending. Luckily the Board saw it coming and got in first and shot the fox. In a perfect world no one would be offended and if anyone had been offended it wouldn’t have mattered. But the world is not perfect. The world is tilted against Rangers. So, in an uneven firefight do not give ammunition to the enemy.

Whilst I agree with his in principle, the biggest complaint is the way that we're treated compared to Celtic. Their banners didn't make front page news. Their board don't allow their club to be attacked. It seems like an excuse for inaction because they don't have the stones to deal with this issue and take the easy way out by attacking a banner that most don't have an issue with.

Ben Davies – Defender – Birmingham City Ben was absent for Birmingham as they rounded off a remarkable campaign with a 2-1 win over Cambridge United. The 29-year-old defender has been an ever-present for the Blues this campaign, helping the club record a memorable campaign in their promotion back to the second tier. Apps: 44 Kieran Dowell – Midfielder – Birmingham City Kieran, meanwhile, was a half-time substitute as Birmingham netted late in the final day triumph. The midfielder certainly made a strong impression after making the loan switch to the EFL League One outfit and was a creative force in midfield. Apps: 23 Goals: 5 Assists: 3 Jose Cifuentes – Midfielder – Aris Thessaloniki Jose was a second half substitute as Aris played out a 1-1 draw with OFI Crete. The midfielder has featured in each of Aris’ five fixtures in the Super League fifth-place play-off as they look to end the season on a high note. Apps: 31 Goals: 1 Assists: 3 Robbie Fraser – Defender – Livingston Robbie started and played the full 90 minutes as Livi’s title bid in the Scottish Championship came to an end. Falkirk’s victory over Hamilton Academical rendered the Lions’ defeat to Partick Thistle on Friday evening immaterial, with Robbie and his teammates now shifting their attention to the play-offs where they will face the winners of Ayr United’s clash against the Jags. Apps: 19 Goals: 1 Assists: 1 Cole McKinnon – Midfielder – Ayr United Cole started but was forced off inside half an hour as Ayr United edged Airdrieonians in their final outing of the league campaign. The Honest Men had already secured their play-off berth and will square off in the first leg against Partick Thistle at Firhill this evening. Apps: 14 Assists: 1 Lewis Budinauckas – Goalkeeper – Partick Thistle Lewis was an unused substitute as Partick Thistle sealed their place in the play-offs with an impressive 1-0 away win over Livingston. The Jags are no strangers to the play-offs and will hope their experience in the format can help fulfil their ambition of promotion to the Scottish Premiership. Apps: 8 Archie Stevens – Attacker – Dunfermline Athletic Archie was absent as Dunfermline were condemned to a 2-0 defeat away to Greenock Morton on Friday evening. The 19-year-old featured prominently for the Pars in the second half of the campaign as they preserved their place in the Scottish Championship. Apps: 11 Adam Devine – Defender – Queen’s Park Adam was named in the starting XI for the Spiders in their defeat at the hands of Raith Rovers. The full-back was withdrawn at the half-time interval as Raith turned the screw in the second period to prevail in emphatic fashion. Apps: 13 Goals: 1 Leon King – Defender – Queen’s Park Likewise, Leon started in midfield for the Spiders in their final evening defeat at Hampden. The 21-year-old has featured in a number of positions for Queen’s Park in a productive loan spell in the second half of the season. Apps: 9 Kieran Wright – Goalkeeper – Airdrieonians Kieran was among the substitutes for Airdrieonians in their defeat to Ayr United at home. Rhys McCabe’s side will hope that their improved form since the turn of the year will make the difference in the relegation play-offs as they look to secure their Scottish Championship status. Apps: 24 Josh Gentles – Forward – Alloa Athletic Josh started for Alloa as they suffered final day heartbreak in a 2-1 defeat to Kelty Hearts which ended their hopes of finishing in the play-offs. The young forward made a strong impression for the League One outfit and chipped in with several goals and assists in an attacking role. Apps: 14 Goals: 3 Assists: 3 Blaine McClure – Midfielder – Kelty Hearts Blaine, meanwhile, was a second-half substitute for Kelty as they ended the campaign on a positive note. The 18-year-old midfielder has produced several impressive performances for the League One side in what has been a valuable first loan spell in senior football. Apps: 13 Kristian Webster – Defender – Dumbarton Kristian was in from the off for Dumbarton as they tasted defeat to Stenhousemuir at Ochilview on Saturday afternoon. The 20-year-old defender has featured at both right full-back and the heart of defence for the Sons who were condemned to relegation to League Two. Apps: 16 Assists: 1 Goals: 1 Jack Harkness – Defender – Stirling Albion Injury curtailed Jack’s involvement in Stirling Albion’s goalless draw with Forfar Athletic. The Binos were unable to muster the points required to secure a play-off berth, with Jack featuring prominently in an impressive individual campaign. Apps: 28 Goals: 2 Assists: 3 Leyton Grant – Defender – Stirling Albion Leyton was also absent for the Binos in their final day draw with Forfar. It was the young defender’s first loan spell in senior football and he caught the eye with his performances as part of a back three in League Two.

Simpler solution, no more yahoos.

Sounds like double standards to me, very wealthy individuals complaining of 'investor fatigue' expecting people at financial breaking point to fork out thousands of pounds a year, every year.

I reckon Ancelotti has already got it, as per Spanish reports.

This is the worse than the fucking transfer thread

Doesn't give much away.

Robin Hood wore jeans?

Just dire to watch. BF before the game saying they have worked on things and he has got his message across - Erm no he hasnt!

Arteta thinks his team were the best in the whole competition he has to be sacked

The Legend of Alan Morton He was a proud young Airdrie lad, Alan Morton was his name. He played for Glasgow Rangers, the left wing was his game. The Ibrox crowd, we loved him so, we cheered him loud and long. And every time he scored a goal, we sang him ‘Follow on.’ And every time he scored a goal, we sang him ‘Follow on.’ Now Alan played his heart away in the Rangers’ Royal Blue. And then one famous Saturday, in Scotland’s darker hue, Young Alan laid the English low, the legend it was born, And every time he scored a goal, we sang him ‘Follow on' And every time he scored a goal, we sang him ‘Follow on.’ At least that is the story my father told to me, He said ‘My son when you’re a man, will you do one thing for me, Each Saturday down Ibrox way, though Alan’s dead and gone, Every time the Glasgow Rangers score, will you sing them: ‘Follow on!’ Every time the Glasgow Rangers score, will you sing them: ‘Follow on!’ Every time the Glasgow Rangers score, will you sing them: Follow on!?

There's a sensory/autistic box at Ibrox. Can inquire about needing special access. https://www.rangers.co.uk/disability-matters-/7DxZjynrP9gtHQuZ77IFx7 Anyways...
