Without going over the whole political songs issue again, I stuck this in as something all fans can get behind. Some fans would rather stick to football and are put off by the overtly political chants/banners.

Forgot about him. They got 3 million back on small outlay so decent business by the current board

Apologies in advance if this has been done before but in the light of all the negative stories of in appropriate chants/behaviour in football in general over the last few weeks, I thought it would be good to look at the flip side and the potential positives that could come from this. It would be interesting to hear from fellow Bears about what 3 suggestions/additions you could make to the overall match day experience/atmosphere. It might be something you have seen on your travels at another football stadium or sports ground. It might be something we already do that you feel could be improved upon. Anyhoo, here's my 3... 1. One from my travels. I've always wanted to visit Dortmunds stadium and I finally got the chance a few years back to see the Yellow Wall in action during a Bundesliga game. It was amazing to see it action and it made me think if something like this could be generated at Ibrox. Imagine a " blue wall" at the Copeland Rd end inspiring the team when they were shooting into that end. It would simply be based on colour, spectacle and non-political noise and would help make the whole experience inclusive. 2. More interaction between the club and fans to celebrate our footballing history. Be it famous players, managers or honours we have a rich and glittering history to tap into and it would be good if the club could help initiate special fan days. ie. John Greig day, Laudrup day, International Players day etc. 3. We desperately need a new playlist before games. As much as Simply The Best has become an "anthem", personally speaking I bloody hate it because I hate that song. I don't want to hear Tina Tuna before a football game. I'm not sure what you use? Nothing political but a crowd pleaser? Would be really interested to hear other suggestions

Fair enough but all business was under different stewardship. I'd rather judge them on what they actually do as opposed to comparing them to previous regimes

I don't see what our "record" of poor fees has do with anything. Has this present board had a sellable asset on their hands?

If we do we have to be clever. Make sure we have laid the foundations for a replacement and get a possible sale done early in the summer

This is the best result CL in years IMO. RM may be on the slide but Sergio Ramos' apparently earns more wages than the entire Ajax XI. That gives hope to teams in smaller leagues with less money and in turn shines a spotlight on how bad St Brenda was in Europe. This result will not go unnoticed over at the cesspit. It also means Real are out. I've gone from not having an opinion on them to really disliking them due their antics under Jose Mourinho, the primadonna posturing of Ronaldo and the horrible gamesmanship of Sergio Ramos over the years. Good riddance IMO. I've no particular skin in the game but I would like to see Spurs win it. I really like the way Mauricio Pochittino operates and it would be nice to see a new name on the trophy

Even if we had 25 million we won't be spending it on 2 players. The most we would spend would be about 10 million between those 2 positions.

That's wee Tom off Angela the Hagg's Christmas card list

I can honestly see us cashing in on Morelos and Tavernier (if the price is right). £25 million plus would be great business for us and it's no coincidence that: 1. We have brought in a dynamic right back/midfielder (Polster) 2. Have secured Defoe on a 18 month loan 3. Have been linked with pre-contracts with a few strikers. I'd hate to see them go but considering we are still playing catch up with the mhanks, 25 million would be very handy indeed.

By all accounts there is a split. Those sitting behind are part of The People's Front of Judea and take nothing to do with those at the front, who are part of The Judean People's Front

Just heard that the great Eric Caldow has passed away at the age of 84. My old man's favourite Rangers player. RIP Captain

Missed the game yesterday and have just watched the highlights. With regards to the Aberdeen penalty, it looks to me like GMS fouls on the back of the leg of Goldson and prevents him from fully stretching out his leg to get the ball. I was expecting a stonewaller but that looks iffy to me

I noticed that the picture chosen by the BBC website to plug the highlights was one of Morelos "shoving" an Aberdeen

Don't care who wants to sign him as long as they have the right amount of money.

It obviously is for some

Yip. You keep telling yourself that.

Wow. 8 pages in and this is where we're at? Let's continue to damage the club's reputation because wee Nicola gives me nightmares in my sleep. This has nowt to do with politics ffs

Totally Missing The Point Loyal

Well said ? Imagine they tried to reintroduce smoking in cinemas/restaurants? People would think you were crazy. It only takes a few simple steps forward to make significant progress

Good to see consistency in the starting XI. C'mon the Rangers!! Hammer the hammer throwers

The fact that Follow follow is on a banned list speaks volumes. A perfectly good anthem with unwelcome add ons

Good luck with their less than willing attitude when tickets are removed, stands are closed and pts are are taken off. "But, but, but...ah pure live ra Rangers...". Obviously they don't. Why would you set out to damage something you supposedly cherish?

When this topic is raised I'm always amazed that the issue of new fans is not addressed. Some tend to dwell on the negatives and how stopping these songs will somehow lose our core fan base. What about the opposite? What about young kids who are not being promoted through traditional family allegiances? What about fans who want to return and are tired of the FTP nonsense? With the advent of a global EPL on our doorsteps and the daily exposure to elite European football, it's hard enough to attract new fans. This stuff just makes it harder IMO.
