James Cook- anti- Rangers, anti - British, a Nationalist and sucked Salmond's cock every day in the referendum campaign.

His chairing of the TV debates were very transparent

Sorry STB not sure what you mean here.

 

By transparent do mean he was obviously biased or are you trying to say he was even-handed?

Obviously bias I meant, maybe was bad wording.

 

The way he let a nat filled audience attack Darling in his debate with Salmond was particularly disgraceful

What he did here was absolutely moronic.

 

I take it that you are referring to James Cook?

Meanwhile Roddy Forsyth' take on the matter ...

 

On yet another day of incredible events at Ibrox, Rangers appointed Stuart McCall as manager until the end of the season. At the same time they were dragged into controversy off the field over the Charlie Hebdo massacre, when it emerged that a newly appointed director had posted a sexually graphic image of the prophet Mohammed on his Twitter account.

 

 

McCall agreed to take charge lon Wednesday but the appointment of the former Rangers and Scotland midfield player was overshadowed by the revelation that Chris Graham – spokesman for the Union of Fans, the umbrella group for supporters disenchanted with the previous Mike Ashley-backed regime – had posted the image on his Twitter account,

 

 

The incident occurred during an exchange with radical Islamist preacher, Anjem Choudary, immediately after the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris. Choudary had Tweeted: “Freedom of expression does not extend to insulting the prophets of Allah, whatever your views on the events in Paris today!"

 

 

Graham posted a reply, which included the words, “You probably won’t like this one” alongside an explicit image of the prophet Mohamed engaging in a homosexual act. There was no comment from Rangers or Graham last night but an investigation will follow in the morning and it appears impossible that he can continue in his post, especially as his Twitter timeline also contains contentious references to Celtic personnel.

 

 

Meanwhile, Rangers’ plummeting form – and Kenny McDowall’s admission that the team could be edged out of the Scottish Championship playoffs – forced the incoming Ibrox board to put Stuart McCall in charge until the end of the season.

 

He will be in place for the visit of Livingston on Saturday, replacing McDowall, who was ordered by Llambias to take charge on a caretaker basis when Ally McCoist was placed on gardening leave at Christmas.

 

Rangers have won only one of their last seven games under McDowall and the Telegraph understands that – before Dave King’s coup at the extraordinary general meeting which overthrew the old regime last week – Llambias believed that the former head coach had lost the dressing room.

 

In fairness, McDowall has made it abundantly clear that he did not desire the responsibility and would welcome being relieved of it. The question of his position in the event of McCall’s arrival has yet to be resolved but indications were that McDowall would no longer be involved on an active basis.

 

Following Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw with Queen of the South at Ibrox – when his players were jeered from the field – McDowall looked particularly despondent as he admitted that, on the evidence of such form, Rangers would toil to achieve promotion. “It is going to go right to the wire for the play-off places,” he said.

 

 

“We are stuttering along. We are not doing enough in front of goal and not doing well enough defensively.”

 

Although Rangers have had talks with the former Fulham manager and West German international midfielder with a view to a possible appointment as director of football, it is understood that this has no bearing on McCall’s appointment. Nor is Craig Brown in the frame for the position, although he was present in the Rangers directors’ box on Tuesday night.

 

The former Scotland manager, who is an Aberdeen director, was assisting Jeff Tipping, director of development at the National Soccer Coaches’ Association of America on a fact finding visit.

 

Finally, a development which would have made headlines two days ago but which was eclipsed by the day’s events, saw the resignation of Sandy Easdale from his position as Rangers’ football board chairman. Easdale – whose brother, James, resigned as a plc director two weeks ago – departure in what was termed an “amicable” resolution.

 

Easdale, though, had been angered by Rangers’ announcement of an investigation into his activities as a director and, after exchanges between the respective legal teams, the club conceded that there would be no further enquiries on that front.

 

However, the Telegraph understands that the probe which was extended to include the conduct of chief executive, Derek Llambias, and finance director, Barry Leach, continues in the case of both men, who are long standing associates of Mike Ashley, the Newcastle United owner.

 

Dave King, the new power at Rangers, was not in Glasgow during any of these developments. He flew back to London yesterday morning, seated in front of another notable – Special Papal Envoy, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor, who had been in Glasgow to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of St John Ogilvie.

 

On face value, it does not augur good for Chris, even though the club has yet to say anything on it. What the remark about that papal envoy had to do with the article is anyone's guess. Sometimes journalists do make you wonder ...

There's a Jehannum of a difference between Je suis Charlie and what Chris tweeted. Man, he's 38, not 14.

It's another example of something that seen as racist and offensive whether we agree with it or not. Personally I'm far from being PC about these things.

 

It was offensive and it was meant to be; that's the whole point. However, it could only be seen as racist by an idiot, or by someone with and agenda against CG. The two are not mutually exclusive.
