  1. That we will get a rendition of "there's not a team..." and "follow follow" sung at the correct speed, correct words, and completed all the way through this season?
  2. What's the chances of getting tickets for a CL group game at Camp Nou? Do they always sell out?
  3. Can only assume that the club see it as guaranteed money. John Giligan at last years RST said that they would sell as many as was possible in answer to them getting the whole Broomie. Dave King has now changed that position in his answers to fans a few weeks back. Looks like they are just going for the maximum number of ST's as possible.
  4. Club have opened up BF5 for ST's which was previously unavailable. This is the area that TBO sit in, if still in existence? Sold 42500 so far.
  5. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=anEa7LwEOWQ'>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=anEa7LwEOWQ Goals. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=anEa7LwEOWQ
  6. BJK being sung, why? Lots of Rangers Songs to pick from, and against East Stirlingshire!
  7. #RANGERSFC: Gilks, Hodson, Wilson, Hill, Wallace, Halliday, Windass, Forrester, McKay, Miller, O’Halloran
  8. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Great day out in good company and very informative.
  9. I don't have it, just publicising the fact that it has been found.
  10. Anyone know the guy?
  11. Bloody iPad! This is a photo from "Rangers the New Era" and purports to show the team of 1898-99 that won all 18 league games. Front row third from right is said to be Finlay Speedie and it is, but Finlay Speedie did not sign for Rangers till 1900 I believe. This picture is all over the Internet, probably taken from the New Era book. The Complete History states that Speedie signed in 1900 and that is repeated in various places on Internet, once again probably from "Complete Record". Does anyone know when the photo was taken? Any definite date for Soeedie signing for us?
  12. Two previous drink driving convictions since 2013!! This ain't gonnae end well for Butch.
  13. http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/william-willie-logie-former-rangers-footballer-1-4179601 William ‘Willie’ Logie, former Rangers footballer Born: 30 September, 1932 in Montreal, Canada. Died: 20 June, 2016 in Stirling, aged 83. Rangers footballers hold many Scottish football records, but Willie Logie, who died last month after a long battle against Parkinson’s *disease, held one which he would rather had gone to someone else. In a short and in many ways unremarkable one-season Rangers first-team career, which spanned just 23 games, Logie became the first Scottish – indeed British – player to be sent off in a competitive European game. He achieved this dubious accolade in the second leg of a first round European Cup match, between Rangers and the French champions, Nice, in Nice, on 14 November, 1956 (pictured below, the team leave for France). Rangers, in their first European Cup campaign, took a slender 2-1 lead to Nice, but, after weeks of non-stop rain, the pitch was like a ploughed field and the French side had overturned the scoreline. With six minutes left, they led 2-1, when the flashpoint came. Logie tackled Nice’s Muro heavily; Muro punched Logie, who hit back, whereupon the French side’s Argentine centre forward Ruben Bravo waded in to attack Logie too, sparking off a mass brawl, which ended with Logie and Bravo being sent off. Logie was able to play in the play-off, in Paris, two weeks later, which Nice won 3-1, but his place in history was by then secured. Willie Logie had been born in Montreal, but, when he was about four, the family returned to Scotland, to settle in the Riverside area of Stirling, where he was brought up and schooled. After school, he served his time as an apprentice joiner, before National Service with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders took him to Hong Kong, Singapore and into active service during the Korean War. Back home, he settled into his trade, married childhood sweetheart Catherine in 1954 and played junior football for Cambuslang Rangers, before signing for Rangers in 1955. He made the first of his 23 first team games in a 1-0 Ibrox loss to Kilmarnock, in September, 1956, keeping his place for the Old Firm game the following week. He played twice in Scottish club football’s biggest match, Rangers winning both – he even hit the Celtic bar with a long-range “dipper” in that debut appearance. However, by the end of that season, he had lost his place to another Korean War veteran, Harold Davis, but his 16 league appearances were sufficient to earn him a League Championship medal. At the end of the following season he left Rangers for Aberdeen, before winding down his senior career with spells at Arbroath, Brechin and Alloa. Then it was back to joinery and for many years he was employed by the well-known firm of RJ McLeod. In the 1960s, on holiday, Willie often had to dissuade people of the notion he was another former Scottish footballer – Bonnyrigg Rose’s one-time winger Sean Connery, a likeness which caused Willie and his family much hilarity. He and Catherine, who pre-deceased him in 2013, had two sons, Martin and Greig, who survive him, along with six grand-children and one great-grand-child. He is also survived by his sisters Muriel and Marion. In later life, before his Parkinson’s put a stop to it, Willie Logie was an enthusiastic gardener. His family and friends remember a cheerful and very funny man, a teller of tall tales and snappy jokes. Scottish football recalls an unfortunate history-maker, punished by a referee for a tackle which, in Scotland, would have passed off without comment, but, in Europe sparked-off a “rammy”. It’s a funny old game, football, as somebody once said.
  14. Arrived today. Excellent quality.
  15. We can't have it both ways. We complain about the stewarding going in, we get annoyed by the extra stewards in front of our end, we get angry that extra barriers have been erected at our end only. Then we get some cretin in our end letting off a flare and we are not to ID them? The aresehole with the flare gave our detractors just the ammo they needed.
  16. Joel Ekstrand ex Watford. His signing with Leeds? seems to have fallen through, injury problems?
  17. Why would the police be stopping them?
  18. Agreed, these cretins are a disgrace. It's the look at me mentality and to hell with any bad press the club get.
  19. Great goal and some eejit let's of a flare.
  20. Why are there barriers erected at Rangers end?
  21. Halliday left for dead there, he looked puffed oot as my Grannie would have said.
