They will write what they're told to write. As you say each to their own, I can understand your view. Maybe once I've got some more miles on the clock I'll come to the same view. For now I listen because they almost always have Rangers leaning journalists on who are very balanced and provide good analysis. Last season it was actually hosted by a Hibs fans, Jonny McFarlane (now editor at footballscotland), who came across as being as pro Rangers as anyone. The way I look at it is at least they do provide good analysis of Rangers somewhere whilst the national broadcaster can barely bring themselves to spend a few minutes talking about even a big European win. I only listen in addition to the podcasts above so it's not a matter of replacing any. Edited August 29, 2019 by DMAA 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives a good analysis and balanced view. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying some of the content isn't good but the source rules it out for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,603 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Just googled it, he used to pretend he was a Rangers blogger for the Daily Record. Hard to think of something that would prove your earlier point about them doing what they’re told any better.
