Thought every player on the pitch last night was super ! Kyle Hutton shoulda been on from the first minute! My question to Super Ally is where has he been all this season? He had an average game on day 1, but last night proved he could walk into any SPL team! Let's hope the Gers get a win against Mechanics and get a few wins on the roll!

Ally prefers that useless thug black.

Been reading a few threads regarding Celtics attendance v Benfica.Yes the attendance was 53k but that id down to Uefa buying up the front seats for a safety basis.I remember this being the case at Ibrox also.

I don't believe that was ever the case at Ibrox - my so had a front row season ticket and he's been to them all

@1 Look at every CL game and there are front rows missing from them all.UEFA do buy them.The celtic v benfica was sold out on the monday night

Front row for a reason!

27 Sep 2012 22:24:49
I've been to every home Champions league game that Celtic have ever played and all i can say is the Benfica game was as full as i've seen Celtic Park for these occasions apart from for some reason a row of seats of maybe 20 half way up the North stand, don't know where they got the 53,000 figure from! I would say there was round about 59,000 there...Fact... Anyway why are Celtic attendances getting talked about on The Rangers page

28 Sep 2012 01:07:03
Some seats do get blocked out. I'm pretty sure theres a ruling that in CL games no spectator can be within the field of play. For some grounds this isnt a problem but at others it means seats get blocked off.

27 Sep 2012 17:28:50
I noticed last night that we made better use or corners and set plays - in future games keep Black away from taking them Every time he does they are completely harmless and totally ineffective

The big difference in The rangers performance was urgency& the will to win,which hasnt been showin from day1..This new young team given time will climb thru the leagues no problem& will be back in the spl in 2016 with loads of first team games under there belt& plenty expierence,so future looks bright for yous bears in the long run,yet the dark clouds still loom,when will any supporters groups ask,or find out who has the floating charge too ibrox??as no proof has been forthcoming..even the most deluded wounded bear leggat,has stated many times over,greene is a snakes skin oil salesman,and out to milk the cash cow of the fans loyalty,so dont say yous havent been warned,charlie chuckles will be hated as much as murrray&whyte,watch this space!stevo

Whose name on the deeds to MP and Ibrox? Bomber Brown.
If I told you what he said about who really owns this club, there would be riots.

27 Sep 2012 17:09:25
I have seen on these pages, the Celtic supporters saying that prices are one third or half price. What a load of tosh, the season tickets are a third off, not a third of the price. I would also point out that last nights game was pay, not covered by season tickets, the game was live on a main channel.
My season tickets for me and my son were still £1200, reduced from £1600.

When you are getting crowds of 14000 please don't embarrass yourselves any more by making up prices
that suit your argument, but are completely inaccurate.

14000 on a wet and windy night in Glasgow is not bad and tbh it was only raith rovers...

Will be different next Tuesday when we're away on champions league duty... Playing one of the best teams in Europe this year when your playing who? Someone from the AA or RAC this weekend?

Lenny

27 Sep 2012 19:27:22
The 'best teams' in europe fans must be thinking the same when the 'tic come knocking in the Champions league, easy 3 points in the bag.

14k lmao very poor.

And here's me thinking your playing Spartak - one of best teams in Europe ? Pmsl

27 Sep 2012 15:38:11
4th round draw thur 4th oct 1.30pm at dumbarton stadium. as long as we get a home game we have a good chance against ANY TEAM!!

Who would lie down this round any suggestions ??

27 Sep 2012 19:36:38
Personally, i want Aberdeen at Ibrox...loathe those sheep shafters more than the Septic. Look forward to any of the Rangers haters at Ibrox, where we get a chance to shove it down their throats.

Yes i agree aberdeen at home do me

To be honest rather get put out than get septic starve them of money everythings on the way down for them they need us now

27 Sep 2012 20:54:33
if after turning into world beaters after last nights game must you get a home tie?

@4 i think you forget your old club will be liquidated because it couldnt pay its debts now your shouting your mouth off as thou your the cash cow of scottish football get real pal

Re:reply 4 - I can assure you, Celtic are not suffering financially due to Rangers' death. Debt was £7m up till June 2012: we then secure champions league money, sell a bench-warmer for £6.5m and everything is just fine. Oh, and Celtic are still owed money from McGeady's move to Spartak. It just keeps getting better. Read it and weep, my zombie friend. Accept it, we just don't need your Rangers franchise that much.

@ 4 In the history of stupid things said in here, and lets face it from both sides there is a lot of examples, yours is easily amongst the dumbest.

Given the averages so far Celtic will make approximately £10.2m more at the gate than Rangers from league games this season. (Want the figures? I'll happily oblige). Approximately £21m from Champions league prior to one point being won. Sold Ki for £6.5m. That's £37.7m, you have the paltry amount made from the Ramsden Cup and both the teams have the domestic cups left. STARVE US OF MONEY? ARE YOU INSANE?

Michael Exadurating Laudrup

@4; Are you a lunatic? CL money of around 17 million plus wages decreased and 6 million plus add ons for ki.Glinty needs the cash mate hence the share issue.

27 Sep 2012 14:42:36
should we not now put to bed the call of mc coists head ? too many people still trying to pull us apart as the slow process of rebuilding starts, we have stuttered yes , but we have shown we can still easily take on any team in scotland, even with a squad of youngsters bar a few stalwarts , we done motherwell easily , let the rebuilding commence , from strength to strength, one game at a time , in ally we should trust!!

27 Sep 2012 15:55:05
1 good result out of how many ? that does not make ally a good manager!

since ally became manager he has had us pumped out of all cup competitions (apart from last night) very early costing the club between 15 - 20 million in revenue. So one good result does not make him this great manager !!

27 Sep 2012 17:23:15
McCall is hedging his bets as he has ambitions to manage Newco. He should be ashamed of his tactics last night. I am a Motherwell fan who will not be back until he is out the door.

Football fans have selective memories. Ally will get a break now. But as soon as the team slips up in SFL3 again it'll be the usual moans.

So far it's game on. Rangers WILL be promoted. Still unbeaten remember. Still in the cup, beating an SPL team. Isn't this what everyone wanted? Show the SPL how Rangers can thrive despite them and Regan/Doncaster's misguided plans?

Yeah, McCall has been shocking for Motherwell! Qualified for the cl last year and sitting top of the spl this year! Just goes to show that everyone hates Rangers and can't stand it when we beat them! Stop being so bitter that you stop making sense!

Yeh yeh number 2,

Get a grip, do you think a manager tells his players to lay down to a team? ( and not one of the players/ ex players to comment on it)

....are you sure you don t support the pacific shelf boyos?

27 Sep 2012 11:16:08
Ally McCoist, 3 games to save his job! Agree or Disagree?
Personally, i think he should have been away last season!
RGrant1872

NO WAY! Super Ally Super Ally ole ole ole! watp!

27 Sep 2012 13:09:38
To all the Celtic fans that frequently visit our popular banter site, I would like to remind them... ALLY MUST STAY! Geo the Ger

27 Sep 2012 13:38:41
Speaking on behalf of Celtic fans I would like to wholeheartedly say: "We agree". haha.

Replying to 1.) At last celtic fans agreeing that Rangers Banter and Super Ally are popular! Tam the Bam

If i where yous i would want him replaced by mccoll hes done more for you than mccoist

As a Celtic fan, I agree; Ally MUST stay. The zombie franchise is comedy gold with him at the helm.

27 Sep 2012 12:46:22
I was not impressed at all with Liam Macleod commentory on the BBC he came across as biased and this is unacceptable, the BBC should consider if this is the right type of person to present their football shows it does seem he has an agenda came across as very bitter and twisted, very poor perfomance

27 Sep 2012 11:57:05
With the revelation that Green met Murray yesterday it maybe assumed that hes playing a very dangerous game, colluding as to how they can minimise damages etc.
From a creditors view point it doesn't look good, Green meeting one of the men who was responsible for consigning the club he's trying to reincarnate to liquidation.
From a liquidators viewpoint also you have a situation were there's even more evidence to suggest that a gratuitous alienation has taken place.

Gratuitous alienation doesn't this only come about when it's a person that's been sequestrated and not a actual company, which would involve liquidation and eventually dissolution?

27 Sep 2012 10:01:34
Calm down everyone about the free tickets, people were getting free tickets at the last minute as we knew they wouldnt have sold. Thats why there was a big queue outside the ticket office just before kick off.. These couldnt have been added as pasrt of the attendance as i think there was more than 29,000 there...
FauldsRFC

So what you're saying is the product isn't strong enough for people to pay to see it?
Surely that isn't viable?

Better to have 15,000 people paying full price to watch something rather than letting in more than that for free and claiming the attendance was 29,000.
It doesn't make business sense! {Ed001's Note - yes it does, the staff are there to deal with the higher numbers already, so higher numbers will just mean more money from concession stands ie food and drink.}

Ed, you've obviously not got a business brain. I take it you pick up the same wage, every month and are in a mind numbing job that's dissolved any brain cells you had? {Ed001's Note - actually no, sorry, I happen to know that only someone with no idea about business would think that letting people in for free, rather than having empty seats and excess food that has to just be disposed of, would be a bad idea. The police and staff have been employed on the basis of having a large crowd, those costs aren't going to be reduced by having empty seats. There is nothing to gain by leaving the seats empty, nothing. There is a chance those people that come in will spend money buying food, drink and merchandise, so increasing income on the night. You still want to carry on being an arse about something you clearly have no clue about?}

For those fans who got in free they must have turned up willing to pay but were let in for free because game was about to start. Rangers did a good thing and it made sure ibrox was rocking at kickoff. We all know what Celtic would make them miss the first twenty mins and still charge there fans thirty quid

So why buy a ticket for the next mid week game? wait until on the night and see if you get in free, if not then you pay. Think we're undermining ourselves with this strategy and diluting the brand.

It makes sense if they make money , how much will motherwell receive compared to raith rovers , genuine answers only please

Good move by gers if fans got in for free near or just after kick-off time, made a better atmosphere and more pies, etc being sold. At the same time less gate money given to an SPL club. Sorry 'Well. watp

27 Sep 2012 23:03:19
it seems to me to be 2 scenarios here.
1. CG expected a bumper crowd and had suitable levels of staffing/police/cateering to manage - for the supposed not walking away fan base that wasn't the case, thus freebies in an attempt to purchase food, give appearance on tv of nearly full stadium etc etc.
2. An inept set up that one again can't handle large crowds as has been shown already this season. TV most likely forced issue due to scheduling and game had to kick off on time. If that was the case then 99% of those milling around just before k/o would have been expecting to pay and so lost revenue. Its unprecedented and will certainly make a lot of people think of acting in same manner next time around there's a decnt profile TV game

27 Sep 2012 09:37:00
Seen the other day on here fans wanting Naismith severely punished for an off the ball incident when he played in the Scotland game . Just wondering will we get the same outcry about your Captains deliberate elbow on a player last night......DH

Nah the Motherwell player was trying to ride him like a dog he was only defending himself lol

27 Sep 2012 03:01:50
no wonder your crowd was 10k more than celtic's tonight - you were letting the punters in for free!!

Haha each day I think "thats the laughs stopped, they can't get any funnier" then bang! Lol

Keep it up. This is like one big train crash all in slow motion!

I believe you even need to pay to watch Hill of Beath Swifts but low and behold you can get into Ibrox to watch the new club for nowt!

27 Sep 2012 09:03:41
14737 was tics attendance. 29,413 was Gers'.

That makes a difference of 14676.

What school did you go to?

Op you weren't laughing at us letting punters in for free you were greeting thinking why can't Celtic do that. Simple cause your chairman does not give a toss about you. Seriously how f,cked up are Celtic fans

27 Sep 2012 13:16:22
@2. Our chairman doesnt give a stuff about us? That is laughable from a Rangers fan who's last two chairman killed thier club and the chairman of your brand new shiny one lies to you just about every time he opens his mouth!

@2 - they just love to hate us lol

Have to say thought Alexander did great tonight. For a man who has played second best for a long time, he showed what a good goalie he is. His save from the free kick low to his left was first class.

Whilst in the mood to praise, Emilson was much, much better tonight, he looked a class act. Aird is a breath of fresh air, so direct. However I thought Hutton deserves a big
mention. Thought he did a great job tonight and if he plays like that he has to play. When you consider that we were without Black & Templeton, tonight was a real good performance.

And lastly yet again the crowd were superb. For a game that was shown live on BBC to get a crowd like that was superb. Our friends across the city were sadly posted missing in recent games but that's no surprise. The fact that they are in SPL and getting beaten and no criticism forthcoming is the beginning of a decline in their crowds. They don't care if they beaten now because it doesn't matter, they know they will win the league. If they were in this position if we were there they would be calling for Lennons head.

Lennon wouldn't stick at the Celtic job if he was in the 3rd division.

Weren't 75% of the punters on here a week ago calling for the head of McCoist and most were crying out for McCall to be manger . Just enjoy your win and stop boring people with this we can get a bigger crowd than yous crap.........DH

Maybe that's because Lennons capabilities mean that he's above the Third Division.

He certainly wouldn't need to manage a side of Celtic or heaven forbid a reincarnation of them because Celtic pay their bills.

27 Sep 2012 00:34:07
The hysteria around one result for our newly formed club is a sad reflection of where we are at.
For the many it masks the realities if what has and is happening down Ibrox way.

Bah humbug!

Why can't we enjoy this result, we have had little to cheer about lately.

Big man, we are where we are, we"ve lost a full team of decent standard players, yeah still got some decent players, its gone a be bitter battle wae everyone we play fae the sphl, chuffed tae bits, rangers were different class in ally i trust

27 Sep 2012 11:20:46
@2 Not a Gers fan but I was happy for you all last night as you have been through so much(some well deserved ok)but this season has been bad in Div 3.So I for one was glad you got something to lift you all ---esp. the kids---Keep thinking how I'd feel if it was my team.
You see,some of us do have a heart.Not saying I miss you ,well, miss the extra edge a bit.
Anyway just wanted to congratulate the win and see a few smiling faces this morning---not seen for months.

27 Sep 2012 00:26:08
God I love the Rangers. I feel so good tonight and I really didn't fancy our chances. Great performances from the young boys which is all good for the future.

The fans, once again turned up in good numbers despite it being shown live. The atmosphere was great yet again.

There were times I thought I may never see them
again and even though we are where we are, the true Rangers spirit was on full show tonight.

We will be back and when we win the SPL, if there is such a thing, will be the best ever. That will be some party!

Going to bed a happy bear tonight, just to see some grit, fight, determination, and no little ability. Well done guys!
