The journals 140m was the number that folded oldco right? They're in 120m debt right now correct ?😮 this is only going one way. More share issues raised. Any money brought in surely has to go to debts and not more players 🤔 how can other clubs be folding in our country with a tiny fraction of debt that rangers have 🤔 pattern of assistance is back Alive and kicking and it's OK because the sfa admitted making one mistake in the finale not awarding that soft penalty which any footballer knows cerny could have stayed on his feet an probably got by scales but choose to take a knee an play for the pen. Hagi ratskin jefty the simulation in there play is disgusting a thought it was illegal in our game and throwned upon. The stick trusty took for a stamp on his foot with studs yet you have rangers players rolling about the ground over an over with no punishment but for the guy they kicked an then took a tumble over. Call it out media man Pedro or be part of the issue on scottish football that is the ranger international. International by name international by teamsheet. A thing celtic used to get hounded for while having Scots in the team yet rangers with their budget an international team struggled to beat the good ol Scottish aberdeen team on a rotten run 😂

Rangers biggest problem is not how the club is managed now, it's how the club was managed prior to the liquidation. The way the game is structured now, with European money, a club with Celtic's financial advantage is only going to widen the gap. Like it or not Scottish football now comprises a moderately big club, a medium sized club and minnows. Criticising the manager/board etc is just a form of denial that the club is not financially equipped to compete with Celtic and that isn't likely to change.

[@stephenclark6058]

As a manager due to circumstances had to use dessers and dessers only up front..they have improved with options up front,injuries ,and lack of options at back an ongoing issue.If he manages to get a couple of defenders ,and maybe 1 in midfield,i personally think we will see a different animal.I feel under circumstances he has coped with ,he has done as well as anyone could.He deserves more time.

Rangers FC died in 2012 when the cva was rejected same as Gretna in 2008 and Airdrieonians in 2002. The team playing out of Ibrox since 2012 are a completely new club whatever the SFA and SPFL concocted between them.

[@chrisd3211]

Masonic 🤝 doubt it go have a peak in rangers main entrance. Signs of freemasonry everywhere from pillars to checkered floors 😂 but you've no to believe that your crazy if you think that scottish masons and scottish orange order aren't pulling the strings. Difference from before is rangers haven't got the money nor team to dominate and rake in the euro cash prizes lile they used too. Rangers international aren't a football team they're a pantomine playing to the blue gallery everywhere and the referee does what the gallery tells him 🤔

[@sammckinstry]

A CVA is a device used in company law. The Company was liquidated, not the club. Insolvent companies die, not clubs, if they still have fans, supporters, traditions, trophies won in the past, and so on. A Club is a social structure, a company is a financial and legal one.

[@NiagaraThistle]

That's like saying Celtic are a new club when they got sold in the 90s. They are not. It's just a banter topic. Let it go.

[@chrisd3211]

@sammckinstry keep telling yourself that the masonic connection kept yous alive just the bank of Scotland overdraft helped yous win leagues with ineligible players so if the sfa knew at the time it was happening an ignored it its obvious that they would sweep it all under the carpet and help yous. Where's the stars on yer top 🤔 fake stars put there out of jealousy that celtic had the European star on our jersey 🤣 now we have over 50 titles too yer stars are where removed like your titles shoulda been or deemed too silly to show now 🤣

[@HailHail247]

Remind me again when were celtic liquidated and request permission to join the Scottish league again? Didn’t happen the old Rangers got caught cheating their queen among others, they weren’t relegated or punished they were liquidated in 2012 and newco will never succeed until they get over it,own it and move on.

[@1980-h2m]

Rangers will never be what they once were. Firstly because that old club died. Secondly the financial gulf between the new club and Glasgow Celtic is too much. Outwith the odd victory against them over the course Glasgow Celtic will continue to dominate.

[@eugeneritchie5403]

Celtic's success is based on doing the right thing.The Rangers contemporary success was based on financial skulduggery. You reap what you sow!

[@Hydraargyrum]

Fergus McCann laid the foundations, with the highest grade materials. David Murray similarly laid foundations, but of a somewhat different type. Ironically, at the time Fergus McCann was slagged by a significant number of Celtic fans and David Murray was lauded by Rangers fans. But one sowed the seeds of success, the other of catastrophe. Today sees the logical outcome of that. KTID, I hope we take you tomorrow but have my doubts... :-)

[@BlairMayne-iv2bw]

This is a long term effort. Trying to hing on to celtic while coach lesser young players to sell on but stay competitive. Big Phil has a vision. Gerrard got 3 years he needs at least the same. He is slowly turning things around. We have no choice but get behind him... Patrick Stewart can put the board room thinking back on track and unite the fans.. We will fix this given time.

[@Kalarandir]

The Dons' draw against Celtic at Parkhead flattered them. I was an absolute drubbing that the scoreline did not reflect. Then when the beat Rangers it was assumed that second was in the bag. Well, we now know that beating Rangers away is not a great achievement.

Remember his column a few years ago when rangers won the league - banged on about culture, religion and “days when religion was asked on a job application 🤣” - the only person with a chip on his shoulder and showing a bitter side in at that moment was him. In the same article he called out the behaviour of a small minority of thousands of people (rightly tbf) but then bizarrely claimed it didn’t happen at any other club … forgetting the scenes a few months before when police, players, officials and ambulance workers were attacked outside Parkhead 🤣 year later it happened again - not by rangers - and surprise surprise he never spoke about it again. would take whatever he says about Rangers with a pinch of salt tbh 😂

Self inflicted running on loans deserve nothing more than failure

[@dp89-i4l]

Peter, why don’t you offer some balance to the rangers argument? (which is something my fellow rangers supporters need to do aswell) Here’s contextual view on it for you: - Rangers ended the second half of last season from Dec- May going into most games with 6/7/8/9/10, and at one point 13 first team players injured. We had 1 striker to play every min of every game (Danilo’s back 2 months played Celtic twice and scored twice, Rangers missed that for a year). Maybe thats a valid reason why we lost the league, instead of the “bottled it” myth that’s portrayed. And so a reason why clement went 6 games without beating rodgers. Look at the difference in jan when he actually had attacking options - totally battered them. Going back to last season, Would Celtic have won the league with that many out at the same time between Dec-May? Doubt it. - this season at the start of the season rangers had limited options in the forward areas for injuries and different reasons, and still only one striker; so struggled to score - while hardly conceding (middle of sept into Oct they conceded 1 domestic goal). They get their attacking options back and score for fun, but loose basically a full backline and their back ups and a keeper from Xmas onwards so conceed a lot more. Is that maybe not a valid reason why away form has been so poor? (albielt yes in some games Clements starting team has let him down e.g. st mirren away, Dundee United home and Dundee away). - look at the season overall - they are basically even head to head with Celtic on games played against each other, lost the league cup on pens in an even game after a dodgy ref decision, sitting pretty in Europe and near perfect home record. - this season Rangers board have brought in a new CEO, chairman, revamped their transfer strategy, reduced their wage bill and now have major assets to sell - Jeffte, Igmane, Raskin the main ones. They changes aren’t gonna be seen until the medium/long term. Considering all that in context …. Is that not fair? Never heard anyone on your programme offer a fair and balanced opinion on rangers considering context. Always the usual hysteria. You won’t respond to me, or get anyone in your programme to peddle that viewpoint …. Because it doesn’t suit the agenda 😂

[@stephenclark6058]

I feel we are turning the corner defo.Injuries,and lack or real options made managers job ridiculously hard.who could have managed any better recently..I mentioned earlier,I think get a decent ,strong central defender in,and 1 in midfield ,this team will fly.

[@dp89-i4l]

Aided by decades of puff pieces from the tabloid writers. Finally, realisation is kicking in.

[@sammckinstry]

The SFA's sanctions on Rangers were designed to destroy them. What is happening now is to a large extent the aftermath of what the SFA's members did to the Rangers club - put it down the divisions to prevent its future financial strength from growing. Unfortunately, it still has and it is performing on the pitch, hsving recently gubbed Celtic, narrowly missed a trophy earlier partly because of a dodgy penalty call and are doing well in Europe.. Rangers have a bit to go, but don't let soccer controversialists such as are on this website talk Rangers down, turning every drama to a crisis to lower the confidence of fans and management.

[@JTT2505]

When Sevco applied to join the Scottish league, the rules requiring three years' accounts, were overlooked. You should be grateful the authorities looked the other way to let your club in. Rangers, btw, voted to accept Sevco into the bottom tier. Were they anti Sevco too?

[@fliesbychris]

They put them down the divisions because it was a new club, Rangers football club ceased to exist and The Rangers football club was born, all other new teams have to start in the regional leagues so they got off lightly. It's wasn't a big conspiracy they broke the law, went into administration and were liquidated.
