Steve1872 4 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 CRISIS-hit Rangers have been given the flick by footy table top game SUBBUTEO. No tiny plastic players will sport the Light Blue this season after the newco Ibrox club failed to sign a contract with the makers in time. And that leaves arch rivals Celtic as Subbuteoâ??s only Scots team â?? joining English giants like Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. The previous Ibrox regime HAD agreed to a new model version of Rangers. But the reborn club led by Charles Green has still not rubber-stamped the paperwork. Last night Richard Wells, sales director at Subbuteo maker Paul Lamond Games, said: â??We agreed a licence and the team was ready to go. â??But weâ??ve had to apply for a new licence with the newco Rangers. â??The contract is ready and waiting to be signed â?? but itâ??s probably not the first thing on the managementâ??s mind right now.â?

Craigy1881 79 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Pretty sure this is the least of our worries. Who plays this any more anyway? Did this not die out in the 90s you know when proper football games appeared on computers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeeBlueDevil 0 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Misleading headline as usual, because it then goes on to say Richard Wells, sales director at Subbuteo maker Paul Lamond Games, said: “We agreed a licence and the team was ready to go. “But we’ve had to apply for a new licence with the newco Rangers. “The contract is ready and waiting to be signed — but it’s probably not the first thing on the management’s mind right now.” So Subbuteo never dumped Rangers, only Rangers have not signed the agreement yet . Another non-story put out to get a further dig at Rangers , must be said that this one is really scrapping the barrow. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it as squad lists need to be in by a certain time and we don't have a squad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
