Here's the dilemma for rangers fans.
You been lied about investments from directors, soft loans that are hard loans guaranteed against assets.
Do you.
1 carry on as usual and let the director's direct.
Or
2. Not renew season tickets, not buy merchandise and call the director's bluff and see how they deal with the potential loss of secured assets
Looking forward to your replies.
16 Feb 2018 22:23:26
I’d say keep supporting the team the same way we always have and let the rest go on in the background! No dilemma for me here mate, there is a clear difference between what is actually true though and what you want to be true after your years of obsessing over The Famous! Keep well my friend, I want you all here for flag 55! 😉
16 Feb 2018 22:31:28
Why would you as a Celtic fan even care about our finances or what we as fans think?
{Ed033's Note - obsessed?
16 Feb 2018 22:32:41
@10 - sounds like its more a dilemma for yourself than any of us? A day after a decent Europa League result and it's still all about Rangers for you!
Here's a wee dilemma for yourself:-
1/ do you continue to obsess about us for the rest of your life
OR
2/ seek medical help and take a more active interest in your own club?
16 Feb 2018 22:49:44
Yo teninarow, an interesting post, a good valid question. Are you suggesting we trust King or not? That is the question.
{Ed033's Note - To be, or not to be. That is the question.
16 Feb 2018 23:39:12
Says the man who is one of the top posters on the Celtic rumours site 😬
17 Feb 2018 00:13:15
Ten in a row or what ever your name is. Posts like yours make me smile with unadulterated joy. You miss all points and always will. Whether you get 10 or 100 in a row you and the rest will always be second to the Famous. I've stood in total awe in front of the bust of Egyptian queen Nefertiti in a Berlin museum. I now know what it feels to be a them supporter and can empathize. But as you've always known you will be second, in all ways to Glasgow Rangers FC. It is only a temporary ripple in time that has allowed your club to perceive its unfounded elevated status. History has shown and I predict will still show that Glasgow Rangers are still the most successful club in the world in 2100. Keep up the good work though, second to the best is something not to be ashamed about.
17 Feb 2018 10:00:50
love it dead head . still obsessing about the only show in town 😂
why our affairs keep you up at night is beyond me, but it’s still hilarious! we will continue to support our magnificent club, of that I can assure so if i were you i'd get out more maybe go a few long walks, or take up caravanning. anything to rid you of this unhealthy obsession
17 Feb 2018 11:31:24
@who67 - another one of my fan club! Welcome aboard son. I class myself as a Rangers Missionary when posting on your site - to right all the wrongs you spout and teach you the error of your ways. Its a hard gig but the joy I get knowing that our 9IAR and subsequent EBT years have damaged you all for life is enough too keep posting.
17 Feb 2018 14:15:45
Goalie,
It makes no difference to me what's so ever. It's an issue for rangers fans.
However if the position was reversed and it affected celtic, I'd be asking why the misinformation about the overdraft/ loan against assets. Is there an agenda not being shared or worse still being hidden because of the effect it would have on rangers and it's reputation.
At the end of the day, if the majority of rangers fans are happy with the way the club is being run and the information being published and disclosed by the directors then there can be no complaint in the future, particularly if it's not positive news.
18 Feb 2018 01:25:34
Rangers missionary 😂aye because you’re the one on your back used to getting pumped
18 Feb 2018 10:02:53
Obsessed UJ? How ironic since you are one of our top posters!
18 Feb 2018 10:19:53
This guy makes me laugh.
He must wake up every morning wondering how he can make the bears worried. What crazy story can i come up with. How can i make it sound legit. How can i try and influence them to slow down their progress.
Behave yourself mate. Start worrying about your own affairs. Stop obsessing over the famous.
But be worried because we are on our way back. And it's coming soon. 55 is coming before 2021. And it's going to ruin you. And the world will know it's most successful football club is back.
18 Feb 2018 10:24:33
@who67 - pumped? You forgetting some of the recent results under Brenda? Record home and away European defeats. 😂😱😂
18 Feb 2018 13:10:04
Us getting pumped by the likes of PSG and Barcelona is akin to getting pumped of a high class exotic hooker. Sometimes you just have to take it and enjoy the view. 😂 whereas your lot will take it aff any mob, junkie with nae teeth far Luxembourg comes to mind
18 Feb 2018 18:03:14
@who67 - you've obviously deleted the one night stand with the Red Imp from Gibraltar from your memory!
18 Feb 2018 18:05:37
@raymnan99 - not top poster. Its replies. And I wouldn't have to if your lot never posted so much Colin Nish! Always happy to keep on setting you straight.
18 Feb 2018 20:20:54
We gave the red gimps a good seeing to in the end. Shame you couldn’t do the same to to Progres. Got to admit it was Caixinha to be fair. Be interesting to see how Murty does if yous make euro spot this season.
16 Feb 2018 21:52:20
Is there anybody else out there who hates the versions of our match day songs? I much prefer the older tradional versions played with accordions. They are a little slower and easier to sing along to. I don't think our current songs create an atmosphere as good as it could be? 🇬🇧🤚🇬🇧.
16 feb 2018 22:05:25
difficult to respond to this. personally prefer follow follow but accordions, sorry no.
{Ed033's Note - Well what about ukuleles instead? when i'm cleaning windows :)
16 Feb 2018 22:27:45
Naw definitely leave the ukuleles / banjos to Dingles over in touchy feely
16 Feb 2018 18:00:52
Hi All. Running out of things say as things seem to be going great. Just wondering though on everyone's opinion on our squad. Do we think our squad is now the best in Scotland. I think we have. Our 1st 11 is open to debate but on their day with a bit more tinkering a match for the them and most definitely the sheep/ diddys clubs.
Also big ec in the hot seat can only be good for Rangers.
Also 2. Would be great to see Dundee Utd get humped by Dundee in the end of season play offs, LMFHO. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )
16 Feb 2018 19:20:36
Dont think we have a better squad than celtic but best of the rest
16 Feb 2018 20:36:18
We should have the second best team/ squad with the player budget we've got surely? We should get 2nd in the league. let's wait and see where we finish this season eh?
17 Feb 2018 13:05:05
"Should" doesn't win games we need another three or four signings Ofthe Standard That Celtic Has all Over Their Team .
18 Feb 2018 10:03:30
You actually have the 3rd best as the league tells.
16 Feb 2018 16:21:06
Anybody have any update on fitness of Dorrans, Jack and McCorie and when likely to be available for selection.
16 Feb 2018 21:00:48
Ross McCrorie is being assessed monday and the club are hopeful he'll be cleared to start training again.
Dorrans is looking at a return at the end of March-start of April.
Ryan Jack is out for rest of season and could miss the start of pre season.
16 Feb 2018 22:09:28
Jack will likely be out for the season. Dozza is on schedule which I think is about 6 weeks or so. McCrorie will be assessed on Monday, hopefully a few weeks at most till he returns.
16 Feb 2018 15:45:54
Rangers legends match 24 March at ibrox.
Let's make this a sellout.
16 Feb 2018 14:20:15
Far too much negativity on here of late.
We have secured two future potential big money transferable players on longer contracts, in the process of securing Morelos on one too and the loans have all chipped in well.
The nucleus of a strong team with a good spine is developing and we have a few Rangers men, who knows what the fight means.
Forget the media spin and hearsay and get behind the team on the park and stop acting like a fekking blouse.
Streets be broad or narrow, we will follow on.
16 Feb 2018 16:06:47
Well said bluebell
Sometimes wonder if i'm on the right site the abuse players get on here
16 Feb 2018 17:15:09
Well said. But it is STRAITS be broad or narrow.
16 Feb 2018 21:25:17
👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 Here here, bluebell, great news about Windass today, I have a feeling that Murty will be next to be signed up, I know there will be lots of bears not happy with that but it seems Mark Allen and him can work together and with the players with resale value being tied up I wouldn’t expect a change in manager in the summer unless we get knocked out the cup by anyone other than Celtic or finish 3rd with no fight for 2nd. I trust the guy and I hope he gets the same backing Pedro got last summer! Also let’s get some of the young boys signed up long term ASAP
16 Feb 2018 21:29:58
Dam predictive
17 Feb 2018 08:23:23
Good recovery blueberries. Damn i mean bluebell
16 Feb 2018 14:11:52
Windass signs new deal 👌🏻
16 Feb 2018 11:38:07
Should the board be held responsible if (a big if) we don't fulfill the terms of the loan while according to Andy Devlin we have rejected £9m for AM. Who to believe here Andy saying we knocked back £9m or the board saying we now have overdraft facilities. Well the second one been blown out the water by the document at company House, and the first one too me is bull. For the Chinese to pay £9m it would cost them £18m (government have a 100%tariff on foreign transfers) and the team already have their 4 foreign players. Why must we put up with so much bull, didn't Dave King not get elected on a transparency ticket.
16 Feb 2018 12:49:46
Its coming up to season ticket renewal that's why we are being fed bull. I have previsouly stated my opinion on the previous "bids" for Morelos and my opinion doesn't change with the latest £9m bid we have ko'd apparently😂😂
16 Feb 2018 13:08:33
The clear rules state Chinese clubs can include five foreign players in a match day squad and have four on the pitch. They can have more in overall squad but not include on match day. This covers for injury and suspensions .
The 100% tariff is held in a trust and returned to clubs once player completes length off deal or is sold on.
It was set up to limit clubs paying big wages like what happened re Teves
16 Feb 2018 14:54:11
What document at companies house?
16 Feb 2018 18:26:10
Here’s Calvin55 our with husbands statement that we haven’t knocked back 9mil are you going to retract that statement when it’s confirmed we have just like you did the last time the bids were made you would’ve thought you would’ve learnt from the last time Before you spout off
16 Feb 2018 19:06:10
Typo error his statemen
16 Feb 2018 22:05:52
Great times, celtic win in europe yet morelos and rangers are still the big news. Must be tough to swallow lads. Nothing happening at the dhim dome calvin, isle of bull?
16 Feb 2018 22:28:33
🙌🏻 Well said Coldo!
16 Feb 2018 23:42:21
Gersman we didn't ko a £9m bid because we never recieved a £9m bid or a £8m bid or a £8.4m bid or a £7m bid!
17 Feb 2018 00:38:58
Calvin how do you know we haven’t I’m not saying we have or haven’t as I can only go with what’s getting reported but you don’t know this either so stop making it out as if you do unless you have proof we didn’t knock them bids back
17 Feb 2018 00:39:46
Plus Calvin it not rangers that are saying we’ve knocked this amount it that’s amount back it’s media that’s saying it so stop making it out it’s out club
17 Feb 2018 08:27:41
Don’t even go there with him gersman. It’s the same gumph he spouts all of the time
16 Feb 2018 10:07:10
You've got to laugh off the hypocrisy of some of the posters. On the one hand they say 'back your team if you're a real fan'and then disagree like a rash if you say back our current midfielders as a better bet than a 33 year old Steven Davis.
16 Feb 2018 10:39:04
Spot on kfraser too many on here contradict themselves constantly. It rarely works out when players go back to their former clubs. We are not a retirement home for former players looking for a final payday.
16 Feb 2018 11:37:52
Agreed guys. I would have taken Naismith back but in general best to move on. Dorrans, Jack, Murphy, Goss, Docherty, Holt, McCrorie. Pretty strong. One man doesn't make a team.
16 Feb 2018 12:01:56
Doesn't make any sense what you have just spouted. We as fans are constantly wanting to improve our team / club. If you are telling me that Steven Davis wouldn't get in our team your mental. A rangers supporter also, left on good terms and has done wonders down south. If he wanted to come back for a season or two we would be mad not to make contact with him.
A retirement home and final pay day. Maybe 20 years ago, but we simply cannot afford the wages that he will be on at Southampton, he would be taking a huge wage decrease and maybe he wants to help his boyhood club get back to the top.
16 Feb 2018 12:53:05
He could have stayed and helped his boyhood club get back to the top instead of fleeing like a rat off the titanic in our hour of need! Rangers supporter my a@#e!
16 Feb 2018 14:56:44
Did we not get a fee for Davis?
Apart from that football is a short career, do you think he would have been picked by Northern Ireland if he was playing in the fourth tier of Scottish football?
Too many people live in the past, wonder what they would have done in the same situation!
16 Feb 2018 17:11:52
Doiger, you managed to contradict yourself in one sentence, well done there.
16 Feb 2018 18:14:38
To all the outraged and and disagree button fanatics I ask who you'd drop for Davis. Let's say a midfield of Candeias, Docherty, Dorrans and Murphy. Subs, let's say Jack, Holt or Rossiter and Windass. The two upfront being Moralos and Cummings. Who would you drop for Davis, a 33 year old not getting game time at Southampton and likely in doing so, damage a young player's career and learning curve? If you agree press the disagree button.
16 Feb 2018 20:27:49
Davis is a better player than anyone we’ve got in fact he’d arguably be the best player in the country if he came back
16 Feb 2018 21:32:05
Because none of our current midfield are close to the quality of Davis. This doesn't mean that I don't support any of our current players.
16 Feb 2018 22:00:40
having watched davis closely since he moved to EPL he’s improved playing with and against better players these last few years
i fully respect the players we have and think in goss docherty dorrans jack windass murphy mcrorie etc we have a good core midfield
but let’s be clear even at 33 if there’s any chance to get steve davis back to Ibrox (which i highly doubt) we shd move mountains to get the lad back - he’s a step above what we have, and is playing in arguably the best league in the world
id take him back in a heartbeat
16 Feb 2018 22:07:23
Aye Southampton paid a fee but it was nothing to do with anything Davis did. He can gtf with the rest of the rats. In any case why would we want a 33 year old when we plenty younger midfielders with more potential
16 Feb 2018 22:10:11
Really don't understand the desperation on here to bring former players back who are too old now. We need to sign players who will make us a profit when we sell them on that way we won't need to obtain payday loans because shareholders are fed up providing soft loans to enable us to survive!
16 Feb 2018 22:12:12
Yeah we got about 800k for him I believe . Ridiculous to expect a player of EPL quality to play in the lowest tier of Scottish football against plumbers and postmen every week.
