Another day of refreshing twitter, reading crap sightings & waiting. For me I honestly feel like this because it's a big name player. We've not really had this for so long so I think we're all a bit feverish lol Yet again, well done to the board/management for getting us excited about both the football and taking aim (via legal methods) at those who sought to bring us down.

With Burnley saying they offered a new contract today, chances are that is what the IT meant

just saw that. If that is true, they are the only ones saying it. Everyone else is pointing our way...but I still don't know lol

you are kidding?! hahahahahahahahaahahahaha

I do, because it will be rattling with press over there. All the sycophants who feel hard done by at the moment from us will be over there breathless with excitement.

Yeah I know, I just won't believe it until he's confirmed by Rangers. Would be brilliant if they did it to coincide with a certain other announcement. Quite an up yours to the journos (IF he has signed)

That tweet was from a troll account.

I'm genuinely struggling to believe this is happening...

About time they put out a statement. Was pretty disgraceful they weren't backing the players until now.

Man how long has it been since we signed a big name

Imagine this was all a big troll haha

my twitter is going mad with people now thinking he has been signed. Craig Houston will have a lot to answer for if he is wrong!

Terrible behaviour. Interestingly, it was Stubbs who has been the most decent in all of this. He was immediately trying to tell fans to go back and his remarks so far have been fine. It's a shame he has been let down by everyone else.

right because we should have teleported Foderingham from the Hibs supporters end goals eh

See. this whole argument falls over for several reasons. 1. If you are going to cite previous occasions where Rangers fans haven't behaved impeccably, you are saying that behaviour is wrong. So either that behaviour is wrong ALL the time, or none of the time. The law is not to be applied selectively. 2. The fact there are those trying to deflect the attacks on our players is absolutely incredible. By continuing to go with line of Hibs just wanna have fun etc they are effectively saying it is open season on players/backroom staff. I'm also a little incredulous to have not heard Tom English use his favourite 'whataboutery' reply in response to other club fans/zealots. I quite often try to err on the side of caution when it comes to journos/bias etc but this incident has well and truly opened my eyes.

I'd rather chop off my ears tbh. No way is that going to be balanced.

I'm so pleased out board put out a strong statement. Incredible silence from a government who have been so keen to criminalise football fans for singing, but when players going about their job get attacked - nothing. I really feel for Wes, he was furthest away. It's an absolute disgrace the numbers that got on so fast. Terrible security.

What a waste of money! Are they that stupid? Aside from anything else, the ongoing legal situation with certain parties makes the nonsense non-existant. Let them waste their cash and show the public what muppets they truly are.

Oh now I like that watch.

I would also expect the legal teams have been working overtime on this. If you are going to make such a bold move you make sure you don't end up with egg on your face. It has to be watertight. It's also after the end of all the litigation by SD - where they have LOST significantly. One could also argue it takes the heat off the team right before an important Cup Final that could see us back in European Football. By the end of it, this could be an incredibly successful week. IF we qualify for Europe, the merch sales will rocket (as they will anyway since we've all been starved of it for so long). Lets remember, King offered Ashley the chance to renegotiate. He spent time trying to get a more reasonable deal and Ashley's response was to chase King through the courts repeatedly. I can only imagine the big cheesy grin on King's face when he knew this could work.

This is AMAZING!

Do you think this whole thing will have anything to do with it? http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/crestfallen-rangers-dundee-utd-hibs-7766054

On twitter there are suggestions pictures with SD advertising are being removed...

If I'm on the right track, it's a bloody masterstroke. This is what I want the board to do. Short, snappy statements without giving the game away. It must be much easier to get on with business when most of the rangers talk is now about the football rather than contracts etc

But it's not SD we've given notice to, it is Rangers Retail. My feeling is there must be a loophole they've found, whereby they can remove the rights from RR. The SD deal technically still stands, but they won't have anything to sell if they don't have the rights. I have a feeling THIS is why we paid back the £5mil and since then we've making sure we are watertight. Be funny if all the other court cases proved to just be useful distractions!
