That team selection is ridiculous.

It was Baxter and Drumchaple MARGOT McCuaig from Purple TV in Govan who directed the Jim Baxter documentary, found footage of Jim talking about the time he took Real Madrid's Ferenc Puskas to a house party in Drumchapel after a European tie - oh come on, they did great parties in Drumchapel. The superb Puskas became friendly with a local girl in the house's scullery. As Jim explained: "I've always thought there should be a plaque in Drumchapel which would state 'The great footballer Puskas scored here'."

Possibly that could be the reason. The club and others don't normally use their own match day pitch.

Pedro must be having a serious look at some of these guys for them to use Ibrox and not Auchenhowie.

My son won the Scottish Youth Triples many years ago (28 approx), finals were played at Cambuslang - same prize.

That brings back memories. Couple of names I don't remember; Moore, McCartney, McLardie & Vint. Did they play for first team at any time. Sutherland, is that Bob Sutherland the ex Indoor Bowls world champion?

Looks like Warburton is trying to say he never resigned and is the manager of two clubs.

Good Evening Mr Bearger The three directors that resigned did not give the board the opportunity to discus this matter at a board meeting. The three of them took the decision themselves and left the remaining directors to deal with it We are actively trying to arrange a members meeting and will also be discussing the resignations at a board meeting in early April Kind Regards William Cowie Club 1872

Hope that is true. Not surprised that Jackson has spoken to him, there's always been a conduit between them. Also he was 31 when the Scotland debacle took place, not a teenager.

He was also the Rangers captian who walked away when we really needed him.

I think we should not lose sight of this comment included in the statement by the 3 resignees. "However, throughout our tenure we found the conduct of one director particularly challenging, causing all of us to make considerable personal compromises at times".

Board Comment on Resignations Club 1872 Directors are aware of concerns by members due to a blog by resigning directors. The Director feel the blog contains inaccuracies, was unnecessary and unprofessional. The Board would like to point out that it does operate to the highest standards and that the perceived conflict which triggered the resignations was most definitely NOT seen as a problem to the remaining board members, two of whom have significant levels of corporate governance experience. Some members have stated they wish a members meeting to discuss concerns arising from this situation. The Board of Club 1872 unanimously agree with this course of action and will contact members with a suitable date and venue for a members meeting soon. http://club1872.co.uk/news/board-comment-on-resignations/

Nor for me. As an aside, why would you buy a ticket for the game and spend your whole time with your back to play?

I agree. Could be the membership do something about it, tell the guy in question to resign and the 3 to withdraw their resignations. I have emailed Club1872. Club 1872 Copland House 2nd Floor, Ibrox Stadium Edmiston Drive, G51 2XD e: info@club1872.co.uk

As you will be aware following the announcement from Club 1872, all 3 of us have resigned as directors. We considered it an honour and a privilege to be voted to serve on the board of Club 1872 by our fellow Rangers fans, and those of you who know each one of us personally will understand how painful it was for us to leave an organisation we firmly believed in and worked tirelessly to establish since our election. We feel it is incumbent upon us to outline to members the reasons why we felt our positions had become untenable. As anyone who has served on a board or committee will know there will always be differences of opinion and varied interpretations on matters and the Club 1872 board was no different in that respect. However, throughout our tenure we found the conduct of one director particularly challenging, causing all of us to make considerable personal compromises at times. However last week a situation arose, which we felt compromised the organisation rather than ourselves, and that was one compromise we were not prepared to make under any circumstances. As many of you will be aware Rangers have recently advertised two job vacancies in respect of a Social Media Officer and a Supporters Liaison Officer. At Club 1872 we were informed recently that the latter of these two roles would be our main point of contact at the club in the future. Word subsequently reached some of the Club 1872 board members that one of our directors had applied for the position of Supporters Liaison Officer. However, as no notification had been received from the director in question this matter remained as nothing more than a rumour. Matters came to a head when the director in question intimated he, in addition to two Club 1872 directors who had already confirmed their attendance, would attend a meeting at Ibrox facilitated by Rangers Security personnel. This meeting was in respect of the forthcoming Old Firm fixture at which both Police Scotland and Club 1872 were invited participants. As persons present at this meeting from Rangers were to be involved in the interview and recruitment process for the vacant Supporters Liaison role concerns were raised within the Club 1872 board. As nothing had yet been received in writing to the Club 1872 board this necessitated a phone call by one director to the director in question at which time it was established he had in fact applied for the role of Supporters Liaison Officer. On such confirmation, the director in question was advised that it would not be appropriate for him to attend this meeting. In essence, we had a Club 1872 director who had applied for a job at Rangers, attending a meeting where persons from the club who were not only involved in the interview and recruitment process, but would also have direct line management responsibility for the post in question, were present. Despite such advice and the concerns of fellow board members, the director in question attended the meeting. We tendered our resignations shortly thereafter. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere apologies to all members, and in particular, those who voted for us. However, all 3 of us believe that by resigning in such circumstances we were reflecting the standards, values and principles which saw us elected. Laura Fawkes Joanne Percival Iain Leiper

Club 1872 has been advised of the resignation of 3 directors, Iain Leiper, Laura Fawkes and Joanne Percival. Club 1872 is disappointed that these directors are unable to see out their term of office but does thank them for all of their hard work, dedication and efforts to date. Becoming a director of the Club 1872 is a considerable undertaking and we should be grateful to all of those willing to take this step. The remaining Directors, James Blair ,William Cowie, Alex Wilson and Craig Houston remain and have each committed to continue to serve Club 1872, its members and the vision and objectives of an organisation which is run for and by its members. The Board has made efforts over the last few days to deal with the practical consequences of the resignations. This has included speaking to our employee, dealing with the transfer of passwords and social media accounts, reassigning work streams and many other matters. A dialogue has also been maintained with the resigning directors. We are conscious that they were elected by you, our members and that you would want us to deal with them professionally and with respect.

I see Warburton is saying there is a legal process going on regarding his departure from Rangers.http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/10803894/warburton-privilege-to-manage-rangers

Club1872 did not esist when all this transpired.

So no claim on us then?
