FWIW there is only one stadium in Glasgow whose safety certificate I'd question and that in the east end. It's regards their old main stand whose roof is held up by pillars which are removed on matchdays. How unsafe does that sound?

I've never heard of this before? That's quite extraordinary.

his wife should be out doing the shopping surely...

How'd you get on the internet from the 19th century?

I don't wish to be rude, but they've not exactly hit the heights. Feel a bit for Robbie Crawford & Templeton though, I hope they find clubs soon

This sounds really good, but there is zero information on how/when to buy?

"forearm smash". Isn't that a tennis term and slightly hyperbolic?

Will Beaton also include that he fucked up royally?

I'd say he's been in the games more than he was his first for us. He also reminds me of Harry a bit - so desperate to prove himself and get that goal. Once it happens, he'll settle down. I do kinda like his fieriness I have to say.

I grew up on the black isle - way north. There was no protestant/catholic pressure up there. I chose Rangers at a young age because they were exciting and that was that. It's massively different to then live and Glasgow and support Rangers.

I'm also not your supposed typical Rangers fan - I'm female, left-wing minded, have a distate for religion and really not interested in seeing the monarchy continue. And yet, I've never felt unwelcome - forced to defend my views, absolutely!

I will admit to rolling my eyes when I see all the talk of Protestantism, loyalism & unionism, but I can also understand I didn't grow up in Glasgow. If we really want to be seen as inclusive, I agree we should absolutely celebrate the differences.

Gawd please lets not do nazi comparisons ffs.

I do think though, that scottish football is poison at the moment. This festering hatred has been allowed for too long. I was worried about Warburton after the cup final. He looked so disgusted then. Would I stay if I was him? I'm not sure I would, but then you can also use it to fire you up.

I like Craig but I'm not sure he's a good fit for the board. I've voted, but on the whole this whole process has put me right off.

The true meaning behind the dolls doesn't matter. I get the rivalry, I get the hatred but ultimately what parent wants their kid sitting underneath blow up sex dolls hanging by their necks? I mean on what planet is this reasonable behaviour?

To better themselves not live in their wee protected bubble , if you look at his playing record over the last 5 seasons it's horrendous, plus he was getting labeled as mentally weak at Arsenal ,many of his injuries a normal player would have been back in weeks not months. Yet another example of a player bottling it, it's up there with Tom Ince tuning down Inter Milan to sign for Hull .

It's not solely down to him. We seem to expect players to move wherever we deem appropriate, yet with little consideration for family. I know the Mail & Sun like to proclaim wags live a life doing nothing but for most that isn't true. Plenty of player other halves have their own jobs/careers. Then add in kids.

But yeah, he's just lazy. Nothing to do with him possibly having consideration for other people than just himself.

So basically kids watching their team train had the cops called on them? Nice.

“Effectively, a decision was taken to pay Rangers a 25 per cent share of the dividend before the loan was repaid and the shareholding returned to the more even split.

 

“In other words, Rangers should have banked more than £1.3million but that payout was reduced in half to around £650,000. And from that sum a whole range of other deductions were then made.”

This to me pretty much sums up the entire arrangement. They (SD) know exactly what they are doing, triggering the dividend as we repay the loan so we get less. Then it seems most of the associated costs come from our side?

Get to fuck. This is absolutely horrendous.

Fantastic news, great job of all you

Honestly mate, this whole letter could have been discarded and 'it's all about the Rangers' written in it's place.

WE KNOW

Really pleased with this.

I wish everyone (media) etc would shut up about Tav & Waghorn. I mean, it's like they don't even consider they are people with families. We just expect a player's family to move wherever they go and upsticks. They have two years left on their contracts and that's fine for now.

Was it rangers fans though? Doleman was definitely at it yesterday with the accusations - tweeting email responses etc. Funnily enough he has now deleted his tweets.

This sounds very much like an RST coup to me. It sounds as though the RST have pretty much gained the rights to all RF has done. I feel RF voters were led down a path based on pretense.

Ultimately, fan ownership is a huge deal and I'll always support that. It's just especially disappointing that what should be a vehicle for that feels like it can no longer be trusted. I mean can it? Without spin? Where is this members register? Why are elected directors resigning and yet there seem to be plenty of non-elected people making the decisions

How sad it's become a shambles when we had such hopes.

If MW is telling the board he wants these players, and the Board are getting them, then yes.

Remember, we don't as club like to talk about potential signings. There is also the point as to whether our targets want to come to us.

I'm not really talking about us being a 'force' in Europe; that seems a pipe dream at this stage. I'm saying that we'll need to put in some solid investment simply to just make a respectable account of ourselves. I wouldn't want our current side going anywhere near Europe.

It's not like we've spent nothing. Barton may not have a box office fee for example, but his weekly wage will be pretty high. The thing is, the club ARE investing. They are investing long term which is really what we want surely? We're investing in our youth & facilities. We have one of the best training grounds, yet our youth breakthrough hasn't been great & scouting has been below par.

Rather than look at the next 6 months, the board appear to be looking at the long time gain and I support this strategy personally. I'm happy enough with the signings so far, albeit we want to see them on the park.

I've cancelled my DD for now. I'm sorry, but I don't send monthly money to a company who doesn't seem to have a proper structure in place. Maybe once all the in fighting and pissing competitions are done I'll rejoin, but honestly I've had enough with everything the club has been through, to sit through this nonsense too.

I actually like this response. I like that he said as board members they now have no right to the football fan opinion. I like that they are trying to direct Warburton, but are solely going after the players he and his team are targeting.

I'm not sure what else he could have said?

To me, this actually feels positive. It appears the move by the board has worked. So Ashley put new directors in to the retail, so what? Not much to be a director of when there isn't anything you can sell.

This will be my boy's first Rangers game. We get back from our hol on the Thurs before, so should be a nice wee end to our time off. It's great as well cause the three of us can go for £35 which I swear is cheaper than the cinema!
