Although I did not condone the march,on looking at street map of Brand Street and so mentioned care home,it looks as if home is well off Brand Street and makes me wonder how march could have stopped outside it.
Unless stopped by police would the march not have been continually moving?
Really pi***s me off the negativity shown to our club and fans,be it that this might be fake news.
It’s obviously fake news.
Next time we’re at Ibrox we’ll have another child-bottling story.
It’s almost like the ‘Rangers-stealing-Church-water’ stories a few years back released on certain ‘Celtic’ websites were just test-runs before they started releasing the stories in the MSM.
Next week: ‘Rangers fans ATTACK little boy because his balloon is GREEN’.

I thought the sandcastles story was as ridiculous as it could get but this takes the biscuit.
interesting to see some familiar political names commenting on the story.
Mr Dornan comments on Green Brigade marches in the East end but doesn’t mention if they were then banned or not. Memory is that they still have their pro-terrorist marches towards their Stadium of Secrets.

Rangers fan march spoils pensioner's birthday
Rangers fan march spoils pensioner's birthday
A guide to a night like no other - Manchester's secret bars
Find out morePromoted by CrossCountryA RANGERS fans group have been criticised amid claims a 70-year-old’s birthday party had to be cancelled because of a pre-match demonstration.
The Union Bears led a march to Ibrox Stadium before the club’s tie with St Mirren last week, having previously been criticised for a similar walk before an Old Firm game this year.
Hundreds of supporters were seen marching down Brand Street, banging drums, chanting and some holding flares.
And that is said to have prompted the family of an elderly resident at the Ailsa Craig Care Home to shut down a birthday bash.
Police Scotland have admitted they are finding it difficult to track the organisers of the march but warned that season ticketscould be confiscated.
Inspector Kevin Lammie said: “It’s challenging to find out who the organiser is. Police have an intelligence department where we’re reviewing these incidents.
“These will be reported to Rangers who take a very dim view with season tickets being taken off people.”
But area councillor Ricky Bell hit back and said: “It can’t be that hard to find out who is organising it. You could start by asking the guy at the front of the march holding the megaphone.
“It’s exactly what was said after the first one in March before the Old Firm game. The same type of behaviour has taken place again outside an old folks’ home.
“There’s been some fairly severe action taken against fans of other clubs in the city, but I think we’d like to get assurances that you are doing something here.
“It’s not acceptable just to allow this to go on as a permanent fixture within the football calendar in and around the Ibrox and Cessnock area.”
In March this year, a similar demonstration was criticised after flares were set off and a banner portraying someone being kicked was held by supporters.
Stephen Dornan, who recently led calls to stop Rangers using the Ibrox Football Centre for a fan zone, called for season tickets to be taken from those who use flares or hold offensive banners.
He added: “There was a march and it stopped outside the old folks’ home. A birthday party at the home was cancelled because of that.
“That kind of thing happened in the East End with the Green Brigade but there doesn’t seem to be the same urgency to deal with it here.
“It cannot continue because some of the stuff there is generally offensive. Banners portraying people with their heads kicked-in can’t continue.”
An Ailsa Craig Care Home source said: “The home didn’t cancel the birthday party, it was the family’s decision.”

As a matter of transparency, Rangers (and any right-minded club) should be asking to know what the recruitment process was. Transparency is key.

So we’ve had a blatant goal disallowed, a clear penalty disallowed and a clear red card not given.Again, if we win this, it’s a great opportunity to criticise the different standard of refereeing against us.And Craigan is a biased a-hole.2

File under more lies from Celtic.
I do think it’s funny that the cycle is coming to an end though and these foreign players are starting to believe their lies and are now downing tools (see £8m, last 12 months of his contract man, Boyata).

Sorry to go off piste but I have a wee question that relates to Rangers and the Media (I don't think it merits a new thread tbh). Can anyone tell me what the deal is with Jim White? (ex-STV, now Sky). I started listening to his morning show on Talk Sport and in between Jim delivering his tabloid sensationalist drivel, I noticed that Jim goes out of his way to talk up Celtic in the most sycophantic way possible. It's getting to the stage that it is utterly cringeworthy. We all know Jim had leanings towards Rangers back in the day and he often mentions going to his first game at Ibrox but I just wondered if something had happened between Rangers/Rangers fans and Jim? Or is he just over compensating when it comes to Celtic? It really is beyond embarrassing the levels White talks Celtic up. Has anyone heard it?
Has it ever been considered that he is being paid to be kind to Celtic?

I really don’t know how he couldn’t give a penalty at the end. It was unbelievable.

That one with Sadiq at the end. The St. Mirren player had both arms around him and the ref and linesman chose to ignore it.
It was one of the most blatant penalties I’ve ever seen.

I am just on the way home now. Hard fought three points and another smashing team performance.
What is the overall feeling on McCrorie? I sit up the other end so didn’t have a good view. Was it a red??
I was right next to it.
Yellow card every day of the week.

So, that went well eh?

I’m actually really pleased we made a wee profit on John.
Around £500k or something?
in the past we would have been releasing him.

If he gives anything against us riots could ensue.
It would be madness and quite possibly a failure of duty of care.
That’s exactly what they would want.

4th officials arent allowed to give on field decisions.
Well if that happened, it would be the second time against Rangers. It doesn’t really matter though as the rules don’t apply to us.

I genuinely think that this sandcastle story must be some sort of experiment into how easy it is to spread fake news and get the police involved when the story has a ‘Rangers bad’ tag.
2 -
It seems that anyone can now make any allegation, no matter how ridiculous, and the press will report it as fact.
As I’ve said before, I would not be surprised if they simply make these stories on twitter to then report them.

Incredibly this week’s fake news is that Rangers fans got off a bus and kicked over a child’s sandcastle.
Police involved after Rangers fans ‘kick down’ three-year-old boy’s sandcastle
Reporter4 hours agoStonehaven harbour.
A Mearns dad has hit out after Rangers FC fans destroyed his three-year-old son’s sandcastle at a popular beauty spot.
As reported in the Evening Express, Stonehaven man David Officer said the football supporters stopped off at the town’s harbour on Sunday ahead of the Glasgow side’s Scottish Premiership clash with Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
The 37-year-old’s in-laws were out in the beach area with his eldest son when a bus with Rangers fans on board appeared.
One of the fans is said to have shouted at his father-in-law, who is a Rangers supporter himself, before kicking down the sandcastle.
ADVERTISEMENTHe said: “One of the Rangers supporter buses stopped in Stonehaven on Sunday and their fans went down to the beach where my eldest son and his grandparents were.
“They shouted at my father-in-law and then kicked my son’s sandcastle over before they left.
“I’m more annoyed for my father-in-law and mother-in-law who had to deal with it. My son wasn’t affected by it, but I just don’t get it. I don’t see the point in all of that. It’s just not something you do.”

I think Mr.Robertson will now be acutely aware of what will be significantly increased scrutiny of his performance on Sunday afternoon.
All we ask is that the rules of the game are employed fairly for both teams.
ps. according to soccerway he was 4th official up in Sheepland 3 days ago.
And I’m hearing stories that the communication to send of Morelos cake from the 4th official.

I’m hearing that Don Robertson has been appointed the ref for our game against St. Mirren. Funny fact is that he is actually an ex-St. Mirren player. Funny that eh?

BBC Scotland reporting that Rangers fans hit an Aberdeen fan (child) with a bottle.
other reports state it missed. BBC are not known to exaggerate though...

All this is is just more evidence that the two are completely intertwined.
Very odd also that the club woild
gift them £20k to change their name. It certainly wouldn’t be another payment to conveniently forget some things.
I can see in 10 years, the memory that St. Patrick’s Boys Club (bizarrely of Glasgow) had anything to do with Celtic being completely wiped off the earth.
and of course anyone who brought that up would be a bigot.

Looking at the location of the care home on a map further cements the “fake news” status.
