BEARGER

A player who bet against us.

Aye and we had one group of fans singing his praises.

The Glasow Merchants Charity cup semi finals in 1958 and 1960 were also decided by toss of coin. Rangers won both. Masonic penny used both times!!

That first photo is not from 1929-30. It's either 1958 or 1960,

RANGERS need just eight more points to lift the Championship title and earn promotion back to the top flight of Scottish football. With second-placed Falkirk sitting on 61 points, and third-placed Hibs sitting on 55 points with two games in hand over Falkirk, the highest points tally either side can reach is 79. Despite a close-fought battle for most of the season, Alan Stubbs' Hibs currently sit the same distance from fifth place and falling out of the play-offs as they do from top spot in the Championship, with a 17-point gap separating the Easter Road side from both Morton and Rangers. Rangers, despite their 3-2 defeat to Falkirk on Friday night, sit on 72 points and can take the title providing they win their next three games. image: http://i4.dailyrecord.co.uk/incoming/article7568753.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/JS85166428.jpg Rangers manager Mark Warburton at training That means that the earliest Rangers can win the title will be Tuesday, April 5 against Dumbarton at Ibrox. Mark Warburton's men face Queen of the South on Saturday hoping to bounce back from the defeat to Falkirk, and start their run towards clinching the title. A trip to Raith Rovers is sandwiched between the two matches and with the Kirkcaldy club attempting to seal a play-off spot, a potential banana skin awaits at Starks Park. Winning the title against Dumbarton could start off a huge couple of weeks for Rangers, with Warburton's side involved in the Petrofac Training Cup final against Peterhead the following Sunday, before a mouth-watering Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic a week later. But the Ibrox club might not be the first side to win a league title in Scotland, with Dunfermline able to reach 75 points, one point more than second-placed Peterhead can accumulate, and win League One by April 2, three days before Rangers could potentially clinch the second-tier title.

Rangers' final home game of the Championship season has had the details confirmed, and the Livingston game has been organised. Beginning with the final Ibrox encounter of the Championship season, we host Alloa Athletic on home soil on Saturday April 23 and the game has been given a 12.30pm kick off slot. With Livingston set originally for Saturday April 16, the game was postponed owing to our involvement in the Scottish Cup semi final. Following discussions the game has been re-set for Tuesday April 26 and taking place ten days later at the Tony Macaroni Arena, it will now kick off at 7.45pm. It means Rangers end the 2015-16 season with back to back away games, with Alloa at home as above on April 23, and then Livington followed by St Mirren on April 30.

i agree with that, but it's also reasonable to piont out that our central defence duo are not good enough for us to challenge for the title next year. The Falkirk game was further evidence of that.

That may be true or not. But I can remember a Rangers team that went from poor to bloody awful in a short space of time, not that far back either.

You could have a point there. How Clark managed to score so often with QOS I'll never know.

Don't think it's drama queen behaviour to say that the second half was a very poor performance from us. Some players seemed to think it was all over. Personally I have not been happy with our two central defenders, I just don't think they will be good enough for next season. Having said that we will canter to the title this year.

Certainly should bring some fans (and players) back down to earth. Our central defenders will just not do next season, far too lackadaisical at times will not get away with it next season.

Why the change in tactics with corners particularly in this game?

And so was that. We need to up our game, take our chances. Back down to earth with this.

Only here to see the Rangers.

Thanks will look up plgsarmy post.

By Graham Luney PUBLISHED 17/03/20161 COMMENTSSHARE Rangers hero Graeme Souness believes Neil Lennon could return to Celtic and help the Scottish giants taste more glory days. The former Northern Ireland international left struggling Championship side Bolton on Tuesday and many Hoops supporters would love to see him back at Parkhead where manager Ronny Deila's future is uncertain. Lennon guided Celtic to three Scottish League championships, two Scottish Cups and also steered the club into the group stage of the Champions League twice. Read more: Neil Lennon will be in demand despite Bolton nightmare Former Gers player-boss Souness, who was in Belfast yesterday on a tour with the European Championship trophy as a Carlsberg ambassador, believes the Lurgan man could be tempted by a return to Parkhead. "I don't see that as an impossibility," said Souness when asked if he could see Lennon return to the Hoops as boss. "Neil had such a good time and is very popular there. "I was speaking to him this week and I said to him that although he might not feel it now, he will be richer for the experience he gained at Bolton. Read more: Souness tips his old club Liverpool to finish the job "It can help him be a better manager. "Next time he should show more diligence and do a bit more homework on what job he takes." “Anyone would have been doomed taking charge of Bolton but the Celtic job will interest him.” Should Celtic lose to Rangers in next month’s Scottish Cup semi-final, Deila’s position would become even more vulnerable but Souness expects him to pass that test. Read more: “I’m delighted that Rangers are in the semi-finals but I just hope that Celtic do not embarrass them,” added the former Scotland skipper. “From the top league to the next division down there is always a big jump. Rangers are flying but Celtic are the best team in Scotland and I just hope it’s a competitive game.” The Belfast Telegraph revealed that Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill is a leading candidate should the Hoops hotseat become vacant and Souness added: “The job Michael has done for Northern Ireland has been outstanding. I would struggle to even name many of their players with Steven Davis and Kyle Lafferty two stand-out performers. “But he has galvanised this group of players and they have qualified for the Euro 2016 finals which is a hard thing to do. They weren’t in an easy group and only lost once to Romania so it’s a tremendous achievement. “There’s always a temptation to say it’s all about the players but given the standard of the players he has had to work with, this has to be about the manager and I very rarely say that.” O’Neill’s troops will not adopt a ‘making up the numbers’ mentality in France and Souness has backed them to ruffle a few feathers. “With the Northern Irish fighting spirit they will be a handful for all their opponents,” added Liverpool legend Souness. “It’s not impossible for them to win a game even though they have difficult matches against Poland, Ukraine and Germany. They’ve got to show what they can do and make the fans proud.” Northern Ireland’s dangerman Kyle Lafferty, who hit seven goals in the qualifying campaign, has become a frustrated spectator at Norwich City — starved of first-team action – but Souness says the Fermanagh man must earn the faith of manager Alex Neil. “Kyle has got to make sure he does a lot more in training,” he added. “He’s got to put the work in and make sure he’s sharp for the Euros. He’ll need to get up to speed as quickly as possible.” Souness and his Scottish comrades enjoyed many feisty battles at Windsor Park but the British Home Championship was kicked into touch after Northern Ireland were crowned winners in 1984. “There’s that much emphasis on the Premier League now and that much money involved that it’s not a tournament that has appeal,” he added. “Unfortunately for Northern Ireland and Wales, it would be all about Scotland and England if that format was ever rekindled.”

Seems a bit strange to me (if I'm reading this correctly) that ordinary £10 a year members of RST will not be members of new organisation unless they pay a minimum £5 monthly subscription. Whereas someone like me who is a life member of RST will be due to paying a one off £100 years ago. Is this correct? I assume RF are also in same boat? This from proposal: "Existing RST members who are not currently paying a monthly direct debit contribution and do not hold shares through Buy Rangers will be contacted to see if they wish to join Club 1872 directly through the Club". So looks like some RST members will not be in the new organisation, not sure I get the thinking behind this. Surely we want as many fans as possible to join the new organisation ?

http://rangers.co.uk/news/club/new-founders-date-added-2/ founding_fathers_1872 Wednesday, 16 March 2016, 11:00 by Rangers Football Club THE latest date for the highly successful Founders Trail tours in 2016 has now been released for fans to book on Sunday 3 April. Since 2009, over 5,000 people have made the trip around Glasgow on the Trail of our Founders and through the doors of Ibrox Stadium, many for the first time. Through the education process of the Founders Trail the objective is to safeguard our unique and wonderful Rangers story for future generations . Join us on a journey of discovery back to 1872 when The Rangers were just the dream of a group of young kids who gathered on Fleshers Haugh. They had no ball, no football kit and used a bush on the Glasgow Green as a changing room. Their Club, which they nurtured, was to become the world’s most successful and it all happened on the streets of Glasgow. Our journey takes us to the area of Fleshers Haugh where The Rangers played their first ever match, we also visit Glassford Street, Union Street, Berkeley Street, Burnbank, Kinning Park, Craigton Cemetery and many other places of interest before finishing off our day with a tour of our magnificent Ibrox Stadium. During our journey we have a 30 minute break at Partick Bowling Club which sits in the shadow of the West of Scotland Cricket Club which was the scene of the Rangers first ever Scottish Cup Final in 1877. It gives everyone a chance to unwind, grab a beer or soft drink and a bite to eat at a beautiful and historical setting. Adults: £22 Children (under 16) and Senior Citizens £16. Group discounts are available upon request.

Seems this is a right shambles. People on friends and family not getting tickets together, meaning kids in separate part of ground from parent.

Rangers have released goalkeeper Maciej Gostomski after only three months at Ibrox, according to reports. The Polish stopper arrived on 3 January to provide competition for places with current incumbent Wes Foderingham and last season’s No.1 Cammy Bell. His is believed to be returning to Poland after failing to break into the first-team, often struggling for a place even on the bench. The 27-year-old arrived with ambitions of becoming the No.1 but will now return home, with Rangers expected to confirm the termination of his contract, which only ran until the summer, in the next few days.

MW is not here to finish second, he has a plan and I believe the board will back him.

Never understood why fans leave games consistently early. Willing to bet they don't do it at the theatre or cinema. Obviously there are special occasions when you need to leave early e.g. wife's funeral.
