RICHARD Gough, Michael Mols, Marco Negri, Alex Rae and Bobby Russell have all shown their support for the march that will retrace the steps of the Gallant Pioneers from their previous home in Kinning Park to Ibrox.

 

 

 

RANGERS stars yesterday joined forces to lend their support to tomorrow’s Sons of Struth march to Ibrox.

 

Nine-in-a-row legend Richard Gough, Michael Mols, Marco Negri, Alex Rae and Bobby Russell all backed the protest march that will retrace the steps of the Gallant Pioneers from their previous home in Kinning Park to the current one.

 

John Brown joined Sons of Struth chief Craig Houston yesterday to promote the walk as the fans’ group continue to seek legal assurances over the club’s playing headquarters and Murray Park training base.

 

Former skipper Gough spoke out yesterday and said: “Ibrox Stadium is the spiritual home of our great club but also to many thousands of fans. The fans should march to safeguard our home and quite rightly ask for legal assurances from the board.

 

“Their words cannot be trusted as has been proved in recent months.

 

“I hope the fans will turn out in large numbers and obtain these assurances from their actions.”

 

Mols, another fans’ favourite, said: “Ibrox is our history, Ibrox is our present. March to Ibrox on the 19th to protect Ibrox for our future.”

 

Negri said: “Ibrox Stadium is an icon for Rangers players and especially Rangers fans. Keep fighting for Blues’ home and never give up. I am with you.”

 

Rae said: “I believe in what you are trying to achieve with the march and hope you are successful. The board can easily grant what fans are asking for.”

 

Russell said: “ I hope everything goes to plan as I want what is best for my team.”

 

Houston, who will lead the journey to Ibrox, insisted this a fight the current Rangers board won’t win.

 

He said: “We want the board to issue legal assurances that they won’t raise capital by selling off Ibrox.

 

“It is superb to have former players backing us. It is inspiring that guys you have sat and worshipped from the stands for decades are endorsing something you are doing as a fan.

 

“The passion the fans have cannot be matched by any directors, especially those who don’t have any passion for the club. We will win this battle.

 

“Whether it’s tomorrow, a month, a year, it doesn’t matter. We will still be here and doing what’s best for the club.”

So is the Californian based Director of Ibrox 1972 Ltd flying in specially for the march or will be in Sacramento following the team?

the only way this won't make a difference is if everyone doesn't go.

 

much like the season ticket trust plan it only failed because of the fans.

 

the notion the board would ignore 40thousand united customers is spurious.

 

"Everyone" who is everyone in this context? Every fan, every ST holder, every shareholder?

 

The ST (non) Trust Scheme failed because it was a ridiculous arrangement from the start; my guess is that a lot of those who were sympathetic to its aims, recognised that, so didn't bother to sign up at all.

 

Where are you getting this 40,000 from now given that at least 20,000 have now bought ST's?

Everyone who wants ibrox to remain in house.

 

What I am saying is its wrong to say anything won't have an effect. If 40k turn up tomorrow it will sure have an effect.
