RANGERRAB

Good news by looks of things. Perhaps even more so following yesterday’s ESL news where fan involvement in clubs may become mandatory

These 12 clubs certainly seem deadly serious.Remains to be seen whether this 12 club league comes to fruition or not and whether they’d still be allowed to play in their domestic leagues. I think they do have a point about the CL though. Totally lost its appeal with too many meaningless games particularly in the group stages

Absolutely delighted with today. Only one wee criticism I thought we had a poor second half. Had we got a third goal just after halftime the opportunity to blitz them might have been there. be interesting to see where today leaves them with their managerial appointment. Reckon Kennedy has lost his opportunity. Hopefully they’ll go for another Deila-type appointment as it looks like Howe’s rubber-eared them

We need to brace ourselves for bids for our players this summer. Won’t be easy to keep everyone like we did last summer

I’d doubt very much if Grier’s arrest simply proceeded the BBC documentary ‘the men who sold the jerseys’ as he suggests you didn’t need to be a legal or financial expert to think what went on at Rangers was highly dubious during the entire period from Whyte ‘buying’ the club from Murray in 2011 until Green acquired the club & its assets for £5.5m in 2012

And Peter’s lucrative bonus too. I wonder if Dominic McKay will get a bonus ?

Job was done first half. Suppose it was all about giving some fringe players gametime. Do think however when these fringe players get their opportunity they need to do a bit more at times. Particularly second half

Clancy-time. Only minutes get added for yahoos when needed.

Maybe that’s why we’re appealing the bans for Paterson, Bassey, Zungu etc the main bone of contention for me over their Dubai trip was Duffy. He left Dubai on the Monday for personal reasons & flew back on a commercial airline then played against hibz in a league game the following Monday. My arithmetic ain’t the best but that’s not 10 days isolation. Even Shooo Keevins made that point on SSB on the evening of the hibz game. The SFA have done nothing about this as far as I know

I wouldn’t say either is in the same class as Morelos unfortunately.

Perhaps if we’d accepted Lille’s £16m offer for Alfredo Morelos last summer we wouldn’t be having this conversation. But yet again the yahoos might have got 10IAR ? Morelos remains our biggest asset(along with Kent). At some point both will likely be sold. Hopefully replacements are being identified

Whyte was allowed to appoint the administrators IIRC. From what’s now known it was obvious who was going to be the successful bidder in the end up.No wonder the crown office got suspicious

And don’t worry Sportscene’s cameras will miss it too ?

When SNP Holyrood introduced the OBFA it clearly didn’t include Scotland international matches did it ? Think this alienated a few of us who used to attend Scotland matches

Regards the yahoos Dubai trip, whatever became of the Shane Duffy scenario when he flew home early on the Monday on a commercial airline yet played against hibz in a league game the following Monday? My arithmetic isn’t the greatest but that’s not 10 days isolation. Even auld Keevins on SSB on the night of the hibz game couldn’t believe he was playing. Have the SFA forgotten about this?

Can’t complain too much today. Draw was probably a fair result. Alfie getting on the scoresheet against them at last was highlight of the day for me

Good to see Hagi start. The type of game for him to show what he can do.

Is Ryan Jack still injured?

Am I the only one who thinks it’s just as well there’s no spectators tomorrow? Imagine us going there tomorrow having ended their 10IAR ? Visions of 1999 all over again

Makes sense. Perhaps won’t play as many games as this season but still had a very strong influence & presence

I’d disagree with that. I find it really disappointing to go out to a team who are at best mediocre. Despite beating Leicester in the previous round I wasn’t really that impressed with Slavia over the 2 legs And McGregor may have made a world class save last week but he really should have stopped their first goal tonight. If we’d gone in goalless at HT they’d have needed to come out more in the second half which would have given Kent & Morelos more opportunities

What no one will admit in Scottish politics is that the block RC vote holds the balance of power. Traditionally it voted with labour but has now switched to SNP. And they are represented very well in many political and media positions where they exert their influence. In particular BBC Scotland. And Rangers-bashing makes them popular with the rank and file. As a support we have stood back for too long and allowed this to happen

Twice Walter Smith took on the role of Rangers manager & was magnificent both times. Thirty years ago next month Graeme Souness left Rangers to go to Liverpool but Walter stayed behind to become Rangers manager to achieve success like we’ll probably never see again. As well as 9IAR he almost led Rangers to the first ever CL final losing out to Marseille under the most dubious circumstances (L’affaire OM). He returned in 2007 and more success followed including a UEFA cup final appearance and 3 titles before he retired in 2011. A magnificent Rangers manager. A true legend. GET WELL SOON WALTER. ?

Nothing will change with the BBC in general until the licence fee is scrapped and they are forced to go out into the real commercial world for their revenue like all other broadcasters have to do. That revenue will be dependent on audience figures so puerile broadcasts such as Sportsound & Sportscene with their agendas & opinionated presenters will be binned before long. Regards this ongoing ‘dispute’ all that’s required is for the BBC to send someone other than McLaughlin. The club must not give an inch on this.

Great performance and result tonight against I’d say the second best team we’ve played this season (after Benfica). Hopefully we can finish the job next week at ibrox
