I for one am glad he was so animated after the Aberdeen game, he had every right to be so.

F*&k, I've a stack of spares to punt tomorrow

Thought it strange at the time but I suppose they had their reasons, heard murmurings at the time the feeling was Ashley would challenge it via the Courts.

They don't, and not all the shares which are in what was known as the 'Easdale Bloc' are eligible to vote and it's 75% of the eligible votes cast that count not 75% of potential votes. Last year the resolution to dis-apply pre-emption rights got (iirc) 73.8% of votes cast and that was despite what I consider a relatively weak push by the Board , I suspect any similar resolution this time round would receive a greater push from the Board and would be passed.

Never thought I'd see Warburton put out a team that was too negative but that was simply damage limitation today,there was simply no belief that we could have won that today. Playing Hodson (who I thought had an excellent game) and Tavernier to negate the threat of Sinclair and Tierney certainly worked but also neutered the attacking threat of Tavernier. Our passing was simply atrocious all game long. Midfield sat too far back and offered no assistance to the forwards, most of the game we seemed to be playing 4 1 4 1, They pressed us high up the park and stopped us playing it out from the back while we sat back and left Miller to chase shadows when they were playing it out the back. Thought Kiernan had one of his better games in a Rangers shirt but once again one of his all too common lapses in concentration cost us dear but Wallace was at greater fault than him for their goal. Windass is a talent with real potential but today he was woeful hardly found a blue shirt though he most certainly wasn't alone in that respect. Still don't think we're as bad as results seem to indicate (I know, I know!) but our wastefulness in-front of goal this season is simply lamentable and has to be addressed as a matter of urgency. I'd be inclined to try O'Halloran through the middle but only if we play the ball in front of him, in the little game time he's had we stick him on the the wing and tend to play the ball to him when he's facing his own goal the result of which more often than not results in him hitting it back first time to whoever passed it to him. Another noticeable aspect today was how we seemed to take an eternity to take throw ins for a team that likes to take quick free kicks and quick short corners to try and keep the tempo up that is quite bizarre, Wallace was by far the worst culprit in that respect today. Can't get the fact that MacKay is the new whipping boy round my head, yes his standards have slipped but he's still the only player we have that could do something out of the ordinary in order to change a game.

Of course the photos were a case of get your retaliation in first, Celtic's PR whilst not having the mythical status that some believe is at least organised and primed for damage limitation. Where was our PR ? It's rumoured Traynor was on holiday, Kerr had a day off and Carol Paton was left holding the fort a recipe for a shambles if ever there was one. Our Board really need to get a grip in regards to PR as Level5 deliver f*&k all but the odd photo shoot for selling tickets, rising stars etc. Been saying for years the Board should go on hands and knees to David Burnside and beg him to help or at the very least get him in to set up a suitable structure and oversee it. Penny pinching on PR is costing us dear and continues to damage us consistently.

Not a chance we'd sell out a Europa League Qualifier at £40 a ticket and I believe the Board would have the wit to realise that. Game would probably be against a relative minnow, be televised and in all probability be played first week of July perhaps even earlier.

So Barton is effectively no longer a squad member.

Sadly we made a rod for our own backs, both should have been dismissed immediately it was brought to light.

.....and straighten the pennants!

RSC's allocations. A+9 A 7 B 5 C 4 D 3 E 3 F / N 2

In Scotland it's a criminal action in England it was a civil action.

Who could possibly foretell in SNP run Scotland a country that will jail you for singing the Billy Boys yet gives rapists Community Service?

Years of investigation, millions of £'s spent, hundreds of thousands of documents and they basically fall back to Alastair Jonston's initial complaint of "financial assistance". At least Prentice should bring some competence to the proceedings, God knows it sorely needs some.

Welcome aboard.....

In any case it's not a sash it's a collarette.

Me for one and https://twitter.com/orangebunnet for another.

Truely tragic news.

It's claimed 10k

Rangers 4 - 1 Partick Thistle FGS Holt

It's not really when you consider that the turnout of eligible voters in the Fans Board elections was circa 5%. I think the gap between eligible voters and votes cast will be huge.
