Doubt it would come to that, I can see other clubs making a play for the best of the bunch and they'd probably end up being a fire sale

Rangers have managed to burn their way through the ?22m that came from a share issue a little over a year ago and two years worth of season tickets, and have since paid out questionable fortunes to departing directors, advisors and various hangers-on.


That meant returning a ?14.4m loss in the last financial year ? none of which was down to the players who delivered a promotion, or the fans who continued to turn up in droves.


No, the faults and failings are at board level, among the people who appear loathed to set any kind of example by taking a financial hit of their own.


What has stunned, angered and bemused many (the latter definitely the domain of rival fans) is that Rangers find themselves in this shambolic financial position once again

"and have since paid out questionable fortunes to departing directors, advisors and various hangers-on."


I've not read up on it, but would they have had any choice about paying these people off? Maybe better to pay them off and get6 rid, than keep them involved and milking the club over a longer period.


If I was a Celtic fan, this would be upsetting for me to see. What are Celtic without Rangers? It's like night without day. They need each other.

I'm not sure the financial woes expereinced by Rangers will be unique to the SPL, I can see clubs in the Prem coming to grief a la Portsmouth and Leeds.

Mick is right, I might feel differently if I were a Celtic fan, and take some joy in seeing the enemy destroyed.



Then I'd realise that I had no one to challenge me, and I'd just get fat feasting on the other crappy teams in my league whilst clinging to fond memories of old firm days.

You forget Otta that it means we get Champions League every year when they are not around.


It's not all about them and never was. We won the European Cup when we won the league 9 times in a row. Rangers were in the top division then but no-one noticed as we were far superior.


Don't try to think it's all about Scotland, we have and always will have bigger aspirations.

Lennon finds another gem.

Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk has moved to douse the speculative embers burning over a tug-of-war between Arsenal and Manchester City for the player?s services by saying he?s happy in Glasgow, for the time being at least.


The 22-year-old has established himself as one of the Bhoys? top performers since signing from Eredivisie side FC Groningen in the summer, catching the eye of the Premier League?s top two, priced at 17/4 and 11/10 to win the title, respectively.


Van Dijk?s ?1.6m acquisition looks to be another shrewd piece of business from Neil Lennon, who is in line to make another windfall of Victor Wanyama proportions if his Dutch defender?s development continues on such a sharp incline.


Wanyama was snapped up for a measly ?900,000 from Belgian club Germinal Beerschot ahead of the 2011/12 campaign and Celtic got two stellar seasons out of him before flogging him to Southampton for ?12.5m; an immense profit on their original outlay.


It has been reported that any Van Dijk suitor would have to fork out ?10m now following a lengthy stint at the heart of the Celtic defence, starting in nine of the 10 SPL games in which they?ve recorded clean sheets.

1st half hopeless - falling apart - an O.G. to keep us in it.


Why not give Morrison and Carroll a run out if they're fit enuogh to be on the bench. Roll the dice y'miserable prck.


ETA - Morrison just on. Maybe he really ISN'T keeping him under wraps to get a high transfer fee....

Gotta getta new plan Sam. Letting the opposition do what they like for 45 minutes in the hope they'll get tired or fed up and you can bring on your half-fit strike force (Morrison&Carroll) to nick the match later don't work when they finish it before the interval. You plank.

Remember Ajax of Amsterdam, 3 times winners of the European Cup. The Dutch league is hardly considered a top league. More recently Porto won the CL. You don't have to be in a top league to do well in Europe.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
