My point entirely. That's an example of the lie that has to be told to justify the nationalism in a Rangers fan ... you have to pretend that Rangers is only a football club.

The lack of general non-clothing merchandise is a common complaint. If that's not Castore's thing then we should do a deal with someone who can provide this particular type of product.

Nah, the really funny bit is you thinking you can mix black and white and still get black and white. We all know you get grey ... which is neither one thing nor the other. We also know how hard you have to press your one-size-fits-all spectrum because otherwise you might show how compromised you have to be where this issue is concerned. But it's always Scottish nationalism first eh?

Correct. It's strictly one or the other. Unless there's a hefty element of pretence and deceit involved.

Interesting ... can you say why you found it embarrassing?

The only thing that matters to most is that Rangers will run on to the park wearing it.

I couldn’t remember. In Diallo’s case, half a season, mostly unused, is no basis for anything but another look as a loaner

How many seasons did we have Ryan Kent on loan before he signed a permanent contract - was it one or two?

Maybe ten Hag has bigger issues to hold his attention than a 19 year old youth player

The Diallo rumour is an interesting one. It seemed to take him months to understand where he was when he signed. Suddenly, when he was about to leave, he appeared to switch on a little. If this is a serious option then at least Wilson and GvB go in with their eyes fully open in terms of his ability and character. He could be can absolute star in the making but only time will ever tell that story.

There is. He's been in it all his life.

I hope it's better. It could hardly be worse. I don't expect gourmet at a football match but it would be a big improvement if it was well cooked, well presented and plentiful.

With respect, you're complaining about something that was neither said nor, I'm sure, intended. No one has disrespected those men in any way at all, or their achievements. Quite the reverse. The comment was about endlessly repeating a merchandising exercise that has already been conducted on so many previous occasions for anyone to see, when there are so many other ways to keep their memories alive. That said, I was at the game in Barcelona and you do have a point about the age and inevitable passing of these heroes.

You can't get more proper than the Bon Scott years

Sorry to see the v-neck has gone

Rising interest rates might suppress the spending plans of many indebted clubs. I don’t think many in the media have realised this yet.

You're not alone. It was a great achievement but it was 50 years ago ffs. It's got the 1966 feel about it for me. Every time it's brought up as our main achievement I just feel it reinforces how little Euro glory we've achieved in that broad expanse of time since Barcelona. I haven't been able to drum up the enthusiasm to watch it, which probably sums up how tired I am of endlessly repeating it every ten years of so. I'd rather have seen a compilation story of all our five finals, maybe with our unbeaten run in 1992-93 thrown in.

Yes I like that very much, apart from the plastic pitch. Keep a close eye on young Lewis Mayo.

Calvin Bassey has set the bar pretty high for any kid coming up from England with little or no first team experience ..... but he's also living proof that it's a transition that can be made, given enough patience and good coaching.

That’s the long and the short of it

You may be right but I think this is largely about managing a successful transition and not just who pulls on the jersey

It’s always the same. Fifty pages so far and what has it told us?

The fact is that his contract has been extended and McGregor will be with us next season. That much is now just pointless debate. The only issue still to be settled is who will be first choice keeper and it really makes no sense for this to be McGregor.

I recently watched his amazing double save against Leipzig (I think) and find it hard to equate that with the proposition he’s ready to be canned

You could also say he saved a few that no one could be expected to save. Clearly, his time is coming to an end and we need his replacement between the sticks but I just don’t think we can deny his new contract on the basis of last season
