RANGERRAB

So QP effectively got their stadium renovated free of charge ?

So when it got renovated in the 1990's who paid for the renovation ? Not QP obviously. And who is paying for its upkeep nowadays?

who actually owns Hampden? does anyone know? surely not QP?

Can't see where that sort of money would come from

Written by Mark McGivern. That should tell you all you need to know. And if Rangers ,as expectedly, win their EBT appeal at the Supreme Court and the EBT scheme is proven to be legal tax avoidance how will HMRC claim any monies from these players ?

I was thinking more of the other punishments we got. As for the EBT's they were in the annual accounts every year although I do think we mayend up having to pay this fine

When the Crown Office ordered their investigation the Scottish Football Authorities should have suspended all of the punishments for Rangers

There are 2 elephants in the room in Scottish Football at the moment: Whyte getting convicted of a fraudulent takeover & Rangers winning the EBT appeal at the supreme court

I don't think Bell is out of contract.

I'm not convinced he'll play much next season if we get a top drawer striker in during the summer

Let's hope we can give the baldy, specks one and his vile club a wave as we pass them on our way up as they 're on the way down to the Championship

What's ironic about the daily Rhebel backpage with yellow teeth's nonsense being the main article is that there is also an article about Harry Forrester whom I believe could win this SC semi for us.

Would you not keep Forrester?

Warburton was very successful with Brentford in the English Championship on a shoestring budget. They made the play-offs but were unsuccessful. Remind me again, how did Yellow Teeth get on at Bolton ? A bigger club than Brentford presumably with more resources. However as regards the SC semi we are playing against a team who have been in decline over the past four seasons. We have nothing to lose in this game and I sense they know this. If they lose what will they do ? Ditch Deila? Who will want their job then ? Keane didn't want it and many more too I suspect

There's no doubt one or two players seem to have put the tools away as the job is now more or less done. It's unfortunate but that's what happens under these circumstances when you've got such a large lead in the league table.

We have come a long way from what we were a year ago on the park. Just goes to show what happens when you get the right manager in & allow him to make the necessary changes. Make no mistake with 2 or 3 quality additions during the close season we will be challenging for the premiership title next season. Of that I have no doubt

I'll get slaughtered for saying this but I think we've little alternative other than to pay this fine if rules were broken despite what LNS says. The club continued when we went from oldco to newco and so the newco should accept its responsibility here.

If we beat Raith Rovers next Saturday & Hibz fail to beat St Mirren we win the title.

Today wasn't great but the job is almost done. We now have effectively one foot over the finishing line. Not getting promotion this season would have been unthinkable after last season. We now have a group of players who know the job is almost done & I think it's beginning to show. We are still well short in 2 or 3 positions & the squad is still very light. I wouldn't expect any of the 3 players who came on as subs today(Law, Clark & Shiels) to be here next season. They will need replaced & we must hope their replacements are capable of making the step up which will be required for next season. I hope we can get this finished as soon as possible so we can go into the Petrofac final & the SC semi against the yahoos without any unnecessary pressure. Then, whatever happens, rebuilding can begin for next season. We should be looking forward to it even if we're a season behind schedule

Those whose opinions matter have declared Rangers are not a new club. It is there for all to see on the SPFL website which shows Rangers history from 1872 to present day. Opinions of yahoo no-mark journos have no relevance on this issue.

Failing to get third in the Euro2016 qualifying group was a failure IMO.

Does the Scotland manager need to be Scottish?

Maybe he did. But IMO McKay was fortunate to have survived ' project McCoist' whereas others weren't so lucky. Getting away from Rangers to less than glamarous surroundings such as Morton & Raith might not have seemed ideal at the time but I bet young Barrie looks back on this as a blessing now. Season 2014-15 must go down as the worst ever in Rangers history and Barrie McKay should be grateful he had no part to play in it. His progress since MW & DW came in has been there for all to see. His career is now back on track.He is now a vital player in Rangers first team squad who at 21 will only get better. So much so that iif he keeps progressing that in a couple of years or so he'll probably be gone to the EPL or the likes.We should all sit back and appreciate his talent while we can

I would like to think so

Every time you see McKay this season you can see why McCoist failed so miserably as Rangers manager. FWIW I think we'll miss him on Saturday against against QOS if he's away with the Scotland U21 squad and we'll need to dig that bit deeper to get a result against a side we've often toiled against these past two seasons
