Sad to hear about Sandy Jardine, a True Rangers Legend.
He was without question the most elegant right back I have ever seen. He was a joy to watch and a True Blue.
I was lucky enough to have dinner with him at a Bondholders event many years ago. I was sitting in the presence of one of my heroes and he didn't disappoint. He was great company and a down to earth guy. A real gent and a major loss. R. I. P Sandy. You brought a lot of pleasure into the lives of so many.

I am a celtic fan. sandy jardine was a great opponent. he wore his heart on his sleave.
rip.

Just read on news Sandy Jardine dead.

So sad RIP one of the nicest Rangers players in all my years as a bear.

Memories of the Dryborough Cup game the Dave Cooper keepy up greatest goal ever game.

Anyone that was there will remember as I do seeing Sandy take the ball up near halfway and head to the Rangers end, beating a few celtic players in that silky style he had like a european player before his time, then lashing an unstopable shot to keepers left. Nearly as great a goal as Coops.

I feel so sad like I've lost something of my youth tonight.

That era was my teen years watching Rangers and despite the dominance of celtic and the sheep I still loved the passion we had as a Rangers team.

A prayer to be said on Sunday

According to Mark Guidi there are going to be good and bad bits in the long awaited 90 day report. Good, apparently, is the renaming of the stadium for a substantial fee. (Could it be Mike Ashley with what he tried at Newcastle)
Bad appears to be season ticket sales are slow and board may not be able to keep promise of new financial investment.
I also heard on Radio Scotland that one of the Easdales has confirmed poor season ticket sales and club is in "perilous" position.
So all you gers fans now have a big dilemma do you swallow pride and buy a season ticket or do you watch club go back into administration.

{Ed039's Note - Wasnt it a 120 day review?)

Total garbo 90 day review WTF?. And Easedales comments are a joke because the UOF and Dave King have said give us Ibrox and Murray park we will hand over the funds. So is what Mr Easedale saying is he and his fellow board members would rather the club go to the wall than hand over the securities to the fans?. The report is going to be grim I would rather Hull City owners Assem and Ehab Allam bought us and called us the Glasgow Rangers Tigers than let that clown and his cronies tarnish our great club any further.

No Dilemma for me Tim I just can't afford to renew this year so I won't pretty simple. I've helped the club all I could at every turn no more these guys are total crooks & I can not & will not support them. I'm finding it hard to even Support Ally & the players after the miserable football they've served up for the past 2 years anyway. Growing up I've always liked the full Rangers team as individuals apart from a rogue few. This team the only 4 players I actually really like as players & in how they act off the park is Wallace Jig, McLeod & Clark.

Oops ED039 I never could count lol
@Larkybear it's the genuine Rangers supporters like yourself I feel sorry for (my own 2 young nephews do not know what to think)
For some reason your club has attracted lots of shysters, guess it is the easy money on offer.
Myself, like most Celtic fans have enjoyed seeing your club's difficulties, but this time it appears even more serious as you may not be able to come back anything like before if a second Administration takes place.
Sadly your predicament was caused by "Rangers men" maybe it is time to get just DECENT men running your club.

@ ED yes it was 120 days although it feels like 360 days.
Very negative sound-bites from HQ today which partly could be the board panicking bears into ST purchase but on balance does seem a fair bit more than blackmail.
I wonder if the small majority who thought we would win the Championship would feel that way if we start with a 25 point penalty?

Here here Timalloy!! Although we banter on our own page about what happened to them, like yourself I feel for all who bought shares/ season tickets for the club they love! We have been in the position! It's always the hard working man that suffers! Genuine supporters on here are still torn! No mater what the report brings! I genuinely hope you guys still have a club to support! I just hope the blinkered fans are wary of ploughing good money after bad, and you all start pulling in the same direction and rebuild this mess.

N5 cheers delbhoy and timalloy cheers for your concern

Thanx for the reply tmwnn! Wether we love, hate or miss each other, the one thing that makes us all the same is the love of our football club. Sorry to hear about sandy jardine that's him up there with the rest of the legends, jinky, burns and cooper r. i. p.

There are, in my opinion, a few reasons why Ally should not be the man in charge next season. But the main gripe I have is the manner in which he went about winning Div's 3 and 2. I don't mean the way we played etc I mean the players he brought in. I, and many others, said on this site way back then that I hoped he went for youth, our own and any talent out there that could be bought (we had the budget it seems) mentored through games by 4 or 5 seasoned Pro's, not 10k a week one's I might add. We would not have won every game but we would have won the league's in my opinion. But much more we would by now have a core of 6 or 7 blooded, exciting and talanted youngsters, who would have known all about playing for Rangers, had real first team experiance and be hungry for more trophies.
But no. We have a team of over rated, over paid underachiever's that are too well paid to be sold and not good enough to make a dent in the top flight
This was a once only (I hope) chance to re-build from scratch. To mould not just a team but a club into the ideal unit. That chance has gone, I believe because Ally did not have the confidence in his own ability to do it. I believe he took the easy option which was to throw money at experianced SPL players and forigners
Nightmare.

I agree with almost all of that post apart from the last part.
I don't think ally's experience didn't stop him, it was his philosophy.
The old rangers way was celtic spent this, we spent more. Ally believes that is how rangers should be run.
Look if ally could buy the players he wanted we would have more or less the same players we had when we went into admin.

Reading the reports after Ayr game and Ally's quotes, he's sounding like that wee guy that was useless for Scotland but had all the stats to back him up. You know the guy that wrote into the papers under his birds sons name to say how great he was. Craig Brown. OMG.

Is Ally doing the same on here?
