RANGERS have appointed a new Disability Access Officer to help continue to make the club an inclusive environment for all supporters and visitors. https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/rangers-appoint-new-disability-access-officer/4TuY1CZrWToYhqs5PJ3LQ

RANGERS travel to Dens Park this Sunday with the match scheduled for a 4pm kick off. With parking restrictions in place around the stadium, supporters are encouraged to park responsibly or risk a fine. Coach parking is in the usual location at Fairburn Street and Tannadice Street. We encourage supporters to arrive early as there will be a stewarding operation in place that will include ticket checks and profiled searches with turnstiles opening from 3pm. Dundee have also advised that they will have a robust policy regarding excessive drinking. Please note, large supporter flags will also not be permitted due to a lack of available display positions. Dundee have requested that we remind supporters to ensure they bring a valid ticket for the fixture as tickets for the SPFL fixture are very similar and cannot be accepted. Thank you for your continued support.

Voted for Tav due to VAR not being on list.

When he came in I thought he was the man for the job, but now I have my doubts. It looks like he does not have it in him to make the big decisions e.g. McGregor as Bluedell had already said.

So the club did make a mess of it, not in Sydney proportions though.

Club forgot to register it and only realised 5 mins before KO, anyone confirm? At the game I did say to mate that teams were late in coming out.

https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/spor...p-storm-issues-Ibrox-board-demand/?ref=twtrec DAVE KING has thrown his weight behind furious Rangers supporters and called on chairman Douglas Park to 'reverse the cult of personality' has developed at Ibrox. The Light Blues board - which has been headed by Park since King stepped down in March 2020 - and the champions' executive team have come under severe criticism following the decision to sanction a controversial trip to Australia. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side will take part in the Sydney Super Cup and play the first ever Old Firm match outside of Glasgow in November as two A-League sides - Western Sydney Wanderers and Sydney FC - also participate in the four-team tournament. Fans unfurled banners during the Premiership clash with St Johnstone on Wednesday night and made their feelings clear towards their board with a series of protest chants throughout the 1-0 victory. King has harboured deep worries over events at Ibrox for some time now following Rangers' public fight with the SPFL over the cinch sponsorship deal and the departure of manager Steven Gerrard to Aston Villa in November. And the former chairman - who voted against the re-election of Graeme Park at the AGM last year - has expressed his concern at the way in which Rangers are being managed at boardroom level as they fight to retain their top flight title. King told Herald and Times Sport: “I am 100 per cent with all supporters on this. It is not something that I would have sanctioned if I was still on the board. “Unfortunately, this is another in an increasingly long list of recent instances where the club has shown its indifference to supporter wishes and interests. “The shoddy treatment of Club 1872, the firing of Mark Hateley, Richard Gough, Derek Johnstone, etc, as ambassadors, the unseemly spat with the football authorities to assist Douglas’s personal agenda, and the completely unnecessary loss of a manager that won title number 55 and would have successfully defended the title are among the concerns that have caught my attention. “I have not spoken to Douglas since I stepped down as Chairman but, as an ordinary supporter, I call on Douglas to reverse the cult of personality that has developed at the club and to remember that the present board are temporary custodians of the club on behalf of present and future generations of supporters. “Recent success has unfortunately created short memories and supporters have every right to be concerned.”

The amenity housing on Main Street, right in the centre of the town, was delivered by Ashleigh Housing and has been officially named Johnny Hubbard Court. The building contains 11 new homes designed for the elderly or infirm. It was named in honour of South African, Johnny Hubbard, who was known in his playing days as “The Penalty King”. Johnny’s playing career encompassed 10 years at Rangers where he took 68 penalties for Rangers, and scored 65, earning him his nickname. He also spent three years at Bury, and two years with Ayr United, a move which saw him settle in the South Ayrshire area after his playing career came to an end. Johnny died in 2018 at the age of 87. He was involved in local community sport, working for the council. He captained Prestwick Cricket Club and managed and coached at Prestwick Tennis Court, as well as coaching football at schools across the Ayrshire. A plaque featuring a likeness of Johnny is displayed at the front of the building. A group of around 30 people gathered outside the development on Friday, February 25 to hear from those involved in the project. Councillor Phillip Saxton, speaking at the opening of the Johnny Hubbard Court, said: “Construction has been built to a very high standard and fits in with the town centre, with the exterior matching the surrounding buildings. I would like to say a personal thank you to the fundraising group for the plaque.” Speaking on behalf of the fundraising group that raised £4,500 for the plaque to be made, Bill Baillie said: “The plaque was the endpoint of what we started just after Johnny passed. “Tam Cairns, is actually the one who initiated it and we got a small team together. We were actually going to go for a statue at one point, but because of Covid, it all fell down and we had to downsize it a bit. I’d like to thank Tam (Cairns), Allan (Hago), and Gordon (McKenzie) for all their help and sticking with me to get this done, I’d like to thank Linda, Linda Burridge, for coming along and being part of the group for the plaque as well. “And Ruth Davis, Ruth is the Sculptor, who did the plaque. “I want to say one small thing about this, it’s composite material, it’s not worth stealing. The plaque cost £4,000 and with money left over from donations, the group is to install a memorial bench at Prestwick Cricket Club. Bill added: “Thanks to everyone from the whole community for investing in it.” Bill also relayed a message from Sir Alex Ferguson, who praised Johnny’s sporting impact. “As a young fan growing up in Govan supporting my team Rangers, the emergence of Johnny Hubbard was starting to catch supporters attention, was his intelligence he’d arrived from South Africa in 1951 and was not your normal well-built players Rangers were accustomed to, he was a small diminutive left-winger but bit by bit he became an important player in the mid-50s. “This culminated on New Year’s Day in 1955 for the Old Firm match where he scored a goal that would equal the Ryan Giggs’ goal of the 1999 FA Cup semifinal against Arsenal. “I was also at Broomfield Park in Airdrie when Hubby missed his first penalty, cutting his shot to the right-hand side of the Airdrie goal keeper, however his record of converting 65 penalties out of 68 22 of them consecutively, takes some beating. It was my pleasure to meet Johnny in later years, he was an absolute gentleman.” Johnny Hubbard’s daughter, Linda Burridge, said: “It’s a great honour for the family that he’ll always be remembered in Prestwick, his adopted home, it’s a massive honour.” “He loved sport that was his passion he loved nurturing young people regardless of their ability. to take part and enjoy it as well he could be quite a disciplinarian sometimes, but that was his upbringing with sport and everything. “He’s sorely missed, it’s three and a half years now since we lost him and then we lost my mum in April, so she’s not here to witness this, so it’s a bit bittersweet, but yes, it’s a huge honour for the family.”

We are one slip away from another disaster.

And I suppose that will also be the excuse for FTP & no Pope of Rome? These people are morons.

Nearly Alfredo. Unlucky.

TBB oh dear. UB just don’t care.

Sydney Tournament - Club 1872 Comment Dear Contributor, Following queries from a number of Contributors, Club 1872 can confirm that we have today written to Rangers Managing Director, Stewart Robertson seeking an explanation for the decision to take part in a ‘friendly’ match with Celtic in Australia in November 2022. Regardless of the fee involved, alienating a significant portion of your supporter base cannot be seen as a sound commercial decision. Furthermore, the way in which this entire episode has been communicated to supporters once again highlights a lack of genuine supporter engagement, which has been replaced in the last two years by saturated marketing activity. Supporters remain, by far, the largest contributors to Rangers’ financial health and the Rangers Executives and PLC board would do well to remember that. We will update Contributors on any response we receive from Rangers. Club 1872

Ok ranting on a fans forum, let the board know your feelings. Davidgraham@rangers.co.uk JoanneYuill@rangers.co.uk - Robertson personal assistant.

Hopefully just another Sun non story. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/8503957/rangers-celtic-australia-old-firm-accept-offer/

If GvB sticks with McGregor then he is not up to the job, it’s obvious that McLaughlin or McCrorie should start.

How bad must it get before McGregor is dropped? No room for sentimentality, his best days are in the past.

Aye, I also think Dyche will get Burnley out of the relegation places.

Leeds have sacked Marcelo Bielsa.

Conference winners €5M Europa cup winners €8.6M

As above today.

More dropped points.
