pete 2,499 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Rangers have decided to ditch their weekly magazine format for a new monthly publication. Pic: Ã?© SNS Group Rangers have announced that their weekly Rangers News publication is to be replaced with a new 96-page monthly magazine as of July 8. The club say that the move away from a weekly magazine ââ?¬â?? which has been printed for over 40 years - reflects the fast-moving media landscape and insist that the decision is not cost-orientated. The first issue will feature interviews with new manager Ally McCoist, Gordon Smith and Ali Russell. Celtic now remain the only SPL club to publish an official magazine every week. A statement on Rangers.co.uk read: ââ?¬Å?The sports media landscape has changed and the club feels the time is right to move in a new, dynamic direction.ââ?¬Â Making the official Website more hip may also help. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,195 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Our official site is poor from what I have seen from other club's. That said, I think the Rangerstv.tv site is actually pretty good with a lot of good content and coverage - if you have the time to view it all... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,832 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Well, sincerely I hope the proposed new monthly affair includes four pages of pet dogs, cats, hamsters, ...................... and Yahoos wearing Rangers scarfs and tammies? Oh, and a double page correspondence presentation; lot's of inane letters about how nutricious the Ibrox pies are, and stating the Bovril is a true panacea. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 More 'hip' in what sort of way pete? I just think it looks so outdated and the news is sometimes quicker in the media than on the OS. Maybe a chat possibility to keep bears on the site. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a chat possibility to keep bears on the site. If they put any sort of chat facility on the official site I think it would very quickly be infested with bheasts and would be difficult to control mate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The Rangers News possibly has ran its course. I used to love picking it up in the late 80s when it was in a newspaper format. Then in the early to mid 90s it was cracking in the Mag format but I stopped buying it around 95 / 96 and barely seen it since. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_2010 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm pretty sure it stopped for a while when there was a "Rangers Monthly" that ran for about 2 years... I think I had (and still have) almost every edition! Not the worst idea getting rid of the news, since half of the news is discussed to death online before any print has a shot at publishing it! Monthly magazine can be a little more selective, a bit like a sunday edition of a paper... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
