RANGERRAB

I think this is a very valid point. I'd like to think the current Rangers board have been pursuing this. Unfortunately I think as a consequence of the club being allowed to continue I.e. membership being transferred from oldco to newco this had to be forfeited

Not quite. The oldco was put into a liquidation process after the CVA got rejected. That liquidation process is ongoing and will be for years to come. In football terms the SFA membership/licence got transferred from oldco to newco so the club continued. Any football fines and debts from oldco has to be paid by newco such as this EBT fine. Rangers board had no choice but to pay it

Or is their jerry-built stadium now causing them some concern ?? Wee whispers I'm hearing. Do you know the San Giro costs nearly £1m p.a. maintenance ? Rather a lot ? Anyway let's put out a wee anti-Rangers story. Keep them masses happy eh ?

The football authorities have clearly stated that Rangers are the same club today since 1872. If oldco broke football rules newco has to pay. The Rangers board had to pay this fine. Let's move on.

Oh dear big bad Rangers are now second in the league and the usual suspects aren't happy. The difference between us & them is we have people who put money into the club.

It is clear we are getting better after making one or two changes. I just wish these changes had been made a few weeks ago & we'd be in a better position than we are now.

Yep would appear LW is the second player to have scored in all four divisions of Scottish football for one club

Is Lee Wallace the first player to have scored in all four divisions of Scottish football for the one club ? Anyone know?

Excellent performance. Only gripe was the subs made little impact

Quite funny to read the OP calling the SFA a 'footballing watchdog' or whatever.

Don't understand why Ashley is still involved in football. All it brings him is bad publicity

There are tmes in life when you have to move on. FWIW after watching Wednesday night I think a MF of Barton, Halliday & Holt (with Barton the sitting MF) would be a more than decent MF. It would allow Halliday & Holt to push forward in their more natural roles rather thn constantly chasing back like they had to do on wednesday night

His request should be turned down by the SFA.

The daily record are a business partner of the yahoos. Remember that.

My take MW doesn't want him back but Rangers don't think they've enough grounds to dismiss him

Realistically we're one year behind schedule thanks to McCoist

W You say we've no money but MW has spent £3m since he arrived. FWIW I think the jury is still out on most signings. I suppose I'm one of the few who saw some encouraging signs tonight. I want to see MOH start every game and at long last do we have a forward whom we can play a long ball to ? We can't play out from the back all the time and on the occasions we did hit a long ball Garner generally did well I thought. And I think Hill has done a decent job at the back since he went into the side. He's not a longterm option by any means but if he can get us top three that'll do for me.

I was disappointed we didn't win tonight but I think we're heading in the right direction although not as fast as we'd like. I thought MOH proved tonight he should always be in our starting XI. We need to start scoring more goals and if he can get decent deliveries into the box that will go a long way to solving that problem. What did concern me tonight though was our MF constantly getting overrun & outnumbered. Both Halliday & Holt seemed out of sorts tonight for some reason. I'm not yet convinced by Windass so maybe if Rossiter returns as the sitting MF player that will allow Halliday & Holt to push forward in their more natural roles. Halliday isn't a defensive MF player & I genuinely thought Barton would fill that role this season.Not to be though. The other thing that concerned me tonight was us trying to play out from the back when St Johnstone had pushed up. In those circumstances we need to play a long ball whether we like it or not. Whilst I'm not 100 percent convinced about Garner yet we now have the option of that long ball and if he does hold the ball up as he did tonight he might just start to change my mind. And he took his goal well too.

I don't disagree with him. We have supporters who think we're a lot better than we really are & expect to win regardless

By my calculations we've spent over £3m on transfer fees since the start of last season. Tav & waghorn cost £350k each(?), MOH cost £500k, garner cost £1.5m & Rossiter & Dodoo each cost £250k (?). Other than Tav & Waghorn it's hardly been money well spent has it , although I do sympathise with MOH whose lack of game time mystifies me. I'd certainly like to think this hasn't gone unnoticed by the Rangers board.

The minimum requirement is top 3 to get into the EL. Anything else totally unacceptable

Don't disagree but that makes it all the more important we make better signings than we made in the summer. We brought in 11 players who haven't improved us at all IMO. We parcularly needed to improve at CB & up front where we needed a more physical presence than Miller. We achieved neither.

Selection will be interesting ? Don't you mean predictable ?

But he's not fit is he? How many games has he played this season ? Same goes for Rositter & Crooks too. These are young players we signed with high hopes for them all. Maybe they've just not got the required levels of fitness & stamina required for the step-up to a higher level

Miller 9/10 ? You must have been watching a different game from me
