Rangers are close to completing deals for Dean Shiels and Greek midfielder Pantelis Kafes as they press on with their rebuilding programme.

Killie were hoping to persuade the 27-year-old to pen a new deal with them, but he appears to be on his way to Ibrox.

Shiels could form part of their promotion push, with McCoist admitting that a deal to bring him to Glasgow is almost done.

The Gers, who will be free to register new players from Friday, are also hoping to wrap up a deal for Greece international Kafes before the end of the week.

McCoist said: "It's not over the line yet but I know in both cases there is certainly a deal to be done there.

"I've spoken to both players. They seem keen and we are very keen too so we'd be hopeful something could be done."

I hate when ally uses that phrase, its not over the line yet, many times did he use it last year? And many times did the player he was talking about sign?

c aw the fans slatin the team get a grip weve had 2 closed door games the whole pre season so nun of them are match fit thats plain ta c but gee them a couple of games n they will be. a thought the young boy mckay played well he showed sum nice touches n has a fair bitta pace black looked good a dnt like that broadfoot never have but he dun awrite the day. anyway onwards and upwards

Believable6 Unbelievable12

Hi bears, everybody knows Kirky boy isn't the best right back ,but he does get up and down that wing taking people on. I myself would play Darren Cole at right back and play Broadfoot on the wing for Division 3 if Ally doesn't bring anybody else in to cover these 2 positions.

Quite disturbed by Mr Green's comments on BBC sport page.'some of it driven by bigotry,some of it by jealousy and some of it driven by the wrong motives'.How inflamitory is that?Very surprised as he has appeared measured.Will any action be taken against him?Why leave himself open to any by saying silly things.I liked him from the start but he did himself no favours today.

Believable29 Unbelievable19

It's hardly silly and in the context of what he was saying is quite blatantly true

The question was put to the fans, the likelihood being that quite a few of those fans voted the way they did simply because of bigotted views, not guessing what percentage because I don't know but certainly "some" of them did

pedantic maybe but still correct

Agree5 Disagree13

There can be no denying that there are certain elements of other clubs supporters are driven by bigotry,one club chairman has even suggested that he voted rangers out of the spl because of emails and letters from certain other clubs fans and not the views of his own fans. of all the points made by charles green its no shock that the scottish media focus on this.

Agree1 Disagree6

Any other CEO and McCoist as manager would be charged by the SFA of bringing the game into disrepute.
Why isn't it happening?

RUBBISH Time we stod up for OURSELFS!well said Charles Green.

So are you saying it is bigoted to hate rangers? get a dictionary

Agree2 Disagree0

Yes Aberdeen fans,Hearts,St Johnston,I.C.Thistle etc etc etc-----yeh,all bigots.Think not.What a stupid comment.Why did he make it---yes,prob.wants to be 'victimised' and then able to walk away.He's only been here a matter of months but the propaganda machine at Ibrox has got to him.Let him listen to the singing and he'll know what 'bigotry' really is.

Rusty the tim here!!not saying much but like the reading on the pages,just a few points tonight about the whole saga.1st point-as a Celtic fan spl will miss rangers but they've made the decision so need to move on.think rangers will get thru d3 no probs but need to sign a few players a.s.a.p b4 transfer embargo or they'll struggle to get out d2 that year.as for the history debate,history will always be history.you can't ever take it away or change it. You will always see that rangers won titles,but with all the rules etc with liquadation,yes same team,ground,supporters etc the business structure is different now.sevco are the new rangers and any titles won will be in the history books as sevco (or what ever name they use).rangers fans will say nothing has changed and add titles to oldco and other fans will say no,if a neutral was to look up the history books they would see 1 company has ended and another company has began.(all depends on which side of the fence you sit on.. Hail hail rusty the tim

Believable18 Unbelievable9

First sensible post I've ever read from you rusty. Actually first one I could make sense of

Agree6 Disagree0

No crusty , the next cup will be the first one for servico ,wont matter where on the fence you sit , thats the reality of the situation,fab1

Agree3 Disagree5

Rusty history isn't a matter of opinion between fans. The various governing bodies, insolvency law and numerous rules and regulations conclusively show Rangers history ceases with liquidation and the new football club's history starts in 2012, the year of founding of Charles Green's new club.
Anyone suggesting that it's a company being liquidated and not the football club is wrong and deceitful. Both the club and the company are one and the same.

Agree2 Disagree3

29 Jul 2012 20:43:36
I think Charles Green's comments were weel over the top. "Bigotry" - he has the cheek to accuse the SFA, SPL and SFL as Bigots? Is the man a fool? Does he want to drive the new Rangers into administration by his actions and ill-informed comments. This is all deliberate so that he can use the authorities that administer and run the game as scape goats as he drags the newco into admin, liquidation and strips the assets. He is throwing petrol onto the fire to cause controversy and create a smoke screen to hide behind. How dare he accuse people of bigotry, what experience does this Yorkshire man have of Bigotry? How many SPL games or SFL games has he attended? Nothing but a charlatan, Rangers beware of false prophets.

Believable30 Unbelievable21

Why does he need to have experience with bigotry to say what he did? The fact you even asked that question indicates you don't even have a clue what the word means!

TTG

Agree10 Disagree17

Away and stop talking nonsense! It was a welcome change to have somebody at the club saying in public what the support have all been thinking!...and since when did words cause administration? I loved seeing somebody actually stand up for the club! A few home truths that probably won't go down well with the hordes but why should we care what they think?

Agree13 Disagree15

My thoughts entirely. Accusations of boigotry is a serious matter. If he doesn't have evidence to support this, how can he be deemed a fit and proper person to run a football club?

Agree17 Disagree12

Martin Bain would never have made such comments. The SFA would have roasted him.

Agree5 Disagree0

Accusations of bigotry. We all know scottish football is full of bigotry. Away and bury your head in the sand again. your just mad because he's part of rangers.

ED will you post my post plz as i never see them on here, green wants nearly 600 notes for a bar 72 ticket i think they can jog on with what i saw the day.

Your better going on official website rather than on here

Agree1 Disagree0

Official website is pants, try and find a price on the site. nothing. what is so difficult for us, just tell us what the tickets cost. nothing (or nout, as CG would say) no information at all. The club is being run like a pound shop, but at least at a pound shop you know the price!

Agree1 Disagree0

Roughly about £281 if you renew! Slightly higher if this is your first.... around £300. You can pay this over monthly installments. Welcome to Ibrox!

Broadfoot will cost us goals no matter where he plays or in whatever league he is a joke of a footballer, only the reason he is there is because nobody wants him.

29 Jul 2012 20:00:57
Green still criticising SPL etc and naming bigotry amongst other things for Rangers' rejection.

Thinking back, though, wasn't the turning point when HE refused to accept sanctions? Yes, we could argue he had a legal case in point but then again if we're following rules to the letter his company shouldn't even be playing Scottish football (yet, at least). There was always going to be a fudge.

Looking back, then, if Green would have accepted the sanctions, would Rangers have been accepted ino SPL?

Believable9 Unbelievable9

He seems to be making this up as he goes along. The bigotry thing is nonsense. Yes, he should have worked with the SPL from the start - he was always outnumbered 11-1 so should have sued for peace.

Agree3 Disagree1

You might like to take a look at the actual rules and not an interpretation of them from your fellow tims. Maybe then, you won't fell so hard done by and oh, BTW, you know for a fact then that bigotry wasn't involved in the SPL's decision, do you?

Agree1 Disagree1

29 Jul 2012 19:41:44
Ok todays game , we have to accept that we havent had any strong friendlys and hardly the best pre season, but we played against an organised side who i think most spl clubs wouldnt of humped, so we done alright for first game thought the young boys done well also black has been injured for a while so will get better even though i thought he looked alright and glad he came to us but i thought broadfoot and goian were absolutely horrific, so chins up fellow bears and lets get behind our team. another thing that was fantastic was seeing ally smile again, fair play ally rangers legend.

True Rangers supporters should be on this site not slagging the team but giving thanks that we actually have a team to support.

I know it was our first competitive game of the season but I have to say that was a stinking performance today. Only a couple of players get pass marks. Thumping long balls up field the whole game was diabolical to watch, really poor tactics. Hutton definitely hasn't got it, will be really glad if we get Shiels in as at least he's got a bit of skill and technique about him and is an attacking player. Thought Goian and Wallace were shocking today, I see big Clubfoot is getting pelters on here today but I thought Wallace's performance was far worse. Black looked half fit but will get better especially with better players around him. Little was woeful, fair enough he scored a goal but did he touch the ball after that? Hopefully we'll get Beattie in. Young guys we had playing looked lost, the game really passed them by with all the long balls we were playing. I really hope once we get 2 or 3 players in we start to pass and keep the ball on the deck. I hope Ally's tactics change once he gets the players in that he's after. Big improvements are needed.

Rangers1

Believable16 Unbelievable11

Nice to see someone supporting their team - not. Give them a break it was the first game of the season

Agree4 Disagree4

Lee Wallace was the best player on the park today i thought?

Agree3 Disagree7

Wallace was man of the match,Hutton broke play and passed the ball well,Macleod had a good game,broadfoot??Cole might be a better option at R.B.
This was our first competitive match so lets get behind the team

Agree3 Disagree7

Well arent you a delight. Rome wasnt built in a day mate. Cut them some slack. A wins a win.

Agree4 Disagree6

Its not easy playing against higher league opposition

Agree9 Disagree0

Wouldnt read to much into performance mate players that have not played in ages..players that have left ,players that dont want to be their ,new signings ,young players going to take a while to sort out this mess

Agree4 Disagree0

Remember they have only had a couple of games, normally by this time they would have had 6-8 games.

Agree2 Disagree1

If murry park is sending out young players that can hardly cope with a 2nd div team i think the coaches at murry park should be sacked and little being back is no help to us, deguzman.

Agree3 Disagree2

For f*ck sake, the team doesn't need fans like you. We had four young guys who have played a handful of games between them start. McKay is 17 n McLeod was 18 last month. We had another two youngsters come on as subs to make their debut Naismith (20) and Crawford (19). Kyle Hutton is only 21. We can't expect to throw all these boys on together n stroll over teams. I thought the youngsters played well and they will improve with games. It's a start n it will get better. why don't you go watch Motherwell or someone else.

Agree5 Disagree4

@9. Been a Rangers supporter for 30+ years and a season ticket holder for the last 25. Been to almost every game home and away in that period at home and in Europe. Spent untold thousands supporting Rangers and been more of a supporter than you will ever be so i'm entitled to my opinion. That was pish to watch yesterday end of. Once you've pumped as much money into the club as I have then i'll maybe listen to your opinion.

Rangers1.

Agree0 Disagree2

@10. Fair enough you've spent a lot of of cash. You can't expect us to steamroller over the top of these teams. We haven't played a game since may and have lost a whole team of our main players. It's gony take time. So I'm afraid it doesn't matter how much cash uv spent following rangers, these boys aren't gony cum out n b playin the way we have played over the last 3-4 seasons. If u r expectin tht, ur heads up ur a*se

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jul 2012 18:25:18
Well that was a bit s**te ...Green talks a load of Pish .Anything to try and stir up support and buy tickets .We are fecking doomed .Administration by the end of the year

We will be if we dont all get behind the club we all support, time to put up or shut bears. the season is about to begin, we are starting to get players in so lets all renew our season tickets and give cg some support. he's not done anything wrong thus far and i think he deserves the benifit of the doubt. i think his plan isnt to asset strip, but get us to spl asap and then sell for a tidy profit as he will be selling a club ready to compete for europe

Agree3 Disagree3

Green brought the game into disrepute today, really disappointed with his attitude, Lennonesque to be honest but I guess he thinks it's the best way to drum up season ticket sales.

Green wants nearly 600 pound for bar 72 season ticket are you having a laff after watching that the day jog on. and ED what are they doing at murry park if the young 1s find it hard to play against div2 teams what chance we got , you would hope murry park would be sending out players that could cope with at least the spl nightmare . and where are the 5 stars on the gers top??????? big baz

Agree3 Disagree0

The five stars aren't above the crest on the home shirt so it looks like the 72 top

If you don't like the ticket prices for bar 72 don't buy them. There will be loads of people willing to buy them.

29 Jul 2012 18:43:08
Okay so it wasn't the greatest performance today however I thought the three youngsters done well for spells of the game and they should have something to offer over the course of a season.

Black will be fine, a few games under his belt and he'll stroll through games.

I'm still not comfortable with mcCulloch up top as I feel we'll start playing high balls to him and a bit of me hopes we don't sign Kyle for the same reason.

Let's see what position we're in next month before we jump on the band wagon!

Believable8 Unbelievable9

After that poor display, wonder how many hector fans will lay out for a season ticket.... not many I think.

Agree6 Disagree10

Are we watching the same game gers were really poor the day if murry park was any good we should have had at least 5 the day. mind our back 4 are prob worth more than that full team put together the day , btw i am a fan but you cant same they done well lucky extra time win, berti

Agree3 Disagree1

I know and I agree with you, however my point is lets see where we are after a month.

That was as good as a pre-season friendly and how many times have we seen poor performances from those?

We just need a few more games under our belt and we'll come out stronger.

By the time the kids have 10 games under their belt their confidence will start to grow.

Also if you put Shields in there (hopefully but unlikely Beatie) and another 2/3 the team would still give a few SPL clubs a going over.

As I said, lets see where we are in a month.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Jul 2012 18:24:31
Wallace was best player on the pitch and broadfoot was terrible, even Brechin had better players than him. Think ally should get him off the pay roll and get someone who night know what they are doing.

Broadfoot and Goian were absolutely shocking. Didn't look as though they had a clue what they were doing. Since Goian wants to leave i think he didn't really give a toss anyway.

Broadfoot did not look out of place in the ramsdens cup , think that's his level?

Agree1 Disagree4

If any of our support or management think that was a decent game/result today then we are in for a very long season. On a day when everyone would /should have been plalying out their skins we ended up with a complete an utter lot of crap. Our players were made to look mediocre and if this whats going to be the bench mark for the rest of the season? then not a lot of people will be attending? we should have been at the top of our game today, showing the media and rest of doubters that we are in wrong league of Scottsish Football ? instead we were made to look exactly the team we are 3rd division. I am not going to any more away games (had it already) sorry. As for Mcoist you were crap last year ,, and this you are already showing that your worse, time to go ALLY .

A good result for Gers and fair play to Brechin. Team looked a bit shakey but did well overall, not impressed with broadfoot though. He seemed to give the ball away with every touch and looked lost, but i give him credit for staying with us. WATP

Believable14 Unbelievable5

Pity he signed over

Agree8 Disagree4

Thought black was a bit sloppy hope he ain't going to be our corner and free kick taker thought goiania was slow and uninterested. It was clear we lacked match fitness but got there in the end. Hopefully we will get some more players in over the coming weeks. A wins a win so onwards and upwards well done boys keep up the good work

Thank you to the fan of The Celtic Football Club PLC for your thoughts. Yep, Broadfoot was dire (he wasn't alone either) but he stuck around when plenty others up and left and was still playing out of his natural position today. I will cheer him on anyway, no matter how bad he is, as I support the players win, lose or draw. Good luck against Helsinki (part timers aren't they?) in midweek. Hope you manage to contain them half as well as we contained Brechin in your first competitive match of the season. You will have no excuses if you don't since you have had a full pre-season, can list more than four subs for the match, and have played some decent teams to prepare. Hope there aren't any boos if, like today, things don't go quite as smoothly as predicted!

As a 'neutral' you wouldn't come on and slate a team which has lost most of it's playing staff and has had no exhibition games.

Briggs; your analogy is erroneous, it is not the same thing at all. Nothing of note on the celtic rumours page today Briggs? Nah, there never seems to be since half of the celtic 'support' read this page far more than their own clubs! How very, very, sad lol.

All football history carried. football debt, and punishments that's why we are still rangers. You can't punish the new for the old unless they are the same company. Where would be the sporting integrity. Lol

29 Jul 2012 14:50:24
ed im obviously missing something here . what is the difference between whyte getting a loan of future season ticket money and using it to run the club or green asking for season ticket money then using it to run the club ? after all the club only cost one pond to each of them so they are not using the money to buy the club.also is it really the case that out of the millions or rangers fans in every corner of the globe ( or so we are told )that not one of them would make a substantial amount of money available to rangers other than people who are looking to make money ,fab1 {Ed039's Note - Season ticket money always funds the clubs, the difference is white mortgaged 4 years worth of tickets to pay off the debts he said he had his own financing for. The deceit)

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Whyte got the loan of future season ticket money to PURCHASE the club. Green has already(with his investors) purchased the club and now wants to fill the seats.
That is normal business practice.

Hi ed,now that we have agreed to incur punishments from the old co. ect. does that mean the history of the old co. still exists i'm confussed about everything thats happened. {Ed039's Note - You and me both, the argument from green is that the corporate entity that ran rangers went bust and that it's still rangers the football team)

Believable7 Unbelievable5

We transferred our membership. We did not start a new one. Same membership same ibrox same fans same Rangers. No history lost. Watp.

Agree10 Disagree10

So tell me then ...... how much are the shares in the club formaly known as RFC currently worth in todays market ......?

Agree4 Disagree2

@1 you haven't transferred your membership! You have a temporary one until a NEW one is granted... get that....NEW!

Briggs

Agree1 Disagree4

Hard to know how the SFA/SPL will move on this. In my opinion, if oldco Rangers baggage is being transfered to newco then so should its history. And the transfer is required as newco doesn't have the 3 years accounts etc required to apply for first time membership. I really don't know why SPL/SFA is concerned about history - can't they just allow the transfer so at least one bit of uncertainty is removed?

Agree0 Disagree1

No transferred yet just a 'made up' temporary one.

Agree1 Disagree0

The shares of the old company are worth nothing as before admin the club was taken off the stock market therefore couldn't be bought unless buying from the share holder

Agree0 Disagree0

Football clubs are incorporated companies, they have to be to have association membership. When the company fails and liquidates, it's the football club liquidating.
If its the same club why doesn't FIFA, UEFA, SFA etc,.... Acknowledge it as such and acknowledge its football history? They don't! Why is it The Rangers FC? A new named club? If it was the old club it wouldn't need to transfer shares or memberships, it would own them.
The new club is unseeded.
It is not the club that got second SPL place last year.
Saying it is a company being liquidated and that the football club can be swapped over is a really bad lie from a really bad liar.
The SFA will tell you it's a new club soon enough.

Agree1 Disagree3

29 Jul 2012 14:55:56

At long last we're back to playing football and supporting our team where it most counts.
It's a real pity that Ness and McCabe didn't stay the course with us as I believe they'd have become greats like the Greigs and Baxters of old. I live in South Africa now but if I were in Scotland I'd be at Ibrox every second week to show support.
I reckon that the fans should support Charles Green now and put the Whyte fiasco behind us. To all the lucky fans out there who live close enough go fill out Ibrox at every turn, go make us all proud. This is a historic moment in our history and time to show our support and passion for a great club.

A wee while ago Charles Green attempted to 'buy over' Bury in League One to get Rangers into England.According to the papers anyway.
Now,Portsmouth FC with only 4 senior players to their name and seemingly doomed,would it not be an idea for Rangers to 'takeover' Pompey and play their fixtures?

Still play at Ibrox and probably have to start with Pompeys' -10pt penalty.Logistically the F.A. will hate the idea but I'll just put it out there....as a why not?.

Thoughts guys...........

Believable6 Unbelievable9

Think your a doughball

Agree3 Disagree1

This is the kind of spiv scam thinking that doesn't work and got our old club liquidated. With our history.

Agree3 Disagree3

Charles Green, has no money to buy over any club except us because that was a 3 way stitch up, after duff and duffer guess the other crook, no the best thing in the interest of rangers moving forward is to boycott Green, hope he sells, (in fact make him sell to the right type of people) and then he can run down to England and buy what he wants,

Agree2 Disagree4

Portsmouth are in millions of pounds of debt so the original post to me reads the equivalent of saying: Why does Green not make a bonfire of £50m in pound notes... The debt would just be transferred across.

Where do you lot get your information Mr Green is a millionare you clown!

29 Jul 2012 00:57:58
Eds, on the SFL website it calls the club 'The Rangers FC' on the div3 table, which appears correct and when you click that name it gives all the history and stats of the old club which is being liquidated. It also shows the strips with 5 stars, does this mean the history is being sneaked back?

Because its a transfer of membership and not a new one all history gets kept.

I hope BBC Alba has the biggest viewing figures in it's history today, it might serve as a gentle reminder to the other TV companies that even a severely battered and bruised Rangers still are (Follow) followed by a vast percentage of Scotland.

Good luck to the boys, Little to score 2 and Goian to score the opener!

Believable11 Unbelievable7

Your probably right about the viewers as its on freeview and the channel was only launched 4yrs ago so probably right about it being the highest viewing figures in its long 4yr history lol

Agree7 Disagree1

Lol.playing brechin and hoping for good luck

Agree2 Disagree0

Brechin are a Division above us and will be better than most of the teams we will face this season. They have also had a full pre-season, were playing at home and were clearly up for the game. The Rangers team have had no pre-season games bar two closed door kickabouts to get their match sharpness. In addition we only had enough registered players to field four subs and two trialists on the team sheet. On top of that we had Goian (dire and uninterested) and Bocanegra (who barely scraped a pass mark) who clearly don't want to be there, and a clutch of kids in the team. Yes the performance levels need to improve but all things considered it was a great result.

However, today was clear proof that we do need experience (Shields, Beattie, etc) to accompany the youths and introduce them gradually into the hard knock football in the lower leagues. We will probably sign more players (frees and nominal fees to replace the ones we have lost) in the next month than the SPL teams collectively. Judge the quality of our team and how we play then.

It wasn't slick and it wasn't pretty today but did anyone actually expect it to be with only five regulars from last year in the team (including two looking to avoid injury so it doesn't affect their chances of a move away)? I didn't.

Well done today lads and good luck to Brechin for the season ahead, they put up a good fight and can be proud of their team's efforts.

New Rangers players being paraded in the tabloid this morning. Nice to see positiveness but I can't help being worried about the exact same club badge and 5 stars. My understanding was that we couldn't use that. I guess we just have a lot of stock from last season to use before new kit and badges come out for The Rangers FC.

Believable8 Unbelievable17

No liquidation as yet means everything stays the same till that kicks in.

Obviously one of 'them'!Otherwise you would know that the kit never had the 5 stars on the badge.And why would we not be able to use the same badge?!Also....why would the kit man have this years top left over from last year?!

Things will change once liquidation happens. The name will change along with the badge, then you will have to buy the new tops etc. taken for mugs again!

Briggs

Because we transferred the sfa membership the crest the 5 stars it all stays the same we have not lost any history. That's why we are getting a transfer embargo and a fine.

Maybe the five starts now represent the 5 months of administration. Lol joking aside couldn't care less about history it's a nice have its just good to have my team back let's move and and look forward not look back

Guys I know we don't want to believe its not the same club but legally it isn't and it's just stubborn silliness remaining with some guys. The history stops with the old club being liquidated. The Rangers FC were founded 2012 by a guy called Charles Green.

@1) liquidation or not new club should not be wearing old clubs strips it's illegal. {Ed039's Note - Are you a lawyer?)

St Johnstone chairman admits that he voted no to Rangers remaining in the SPL because of massive response from fans of Celtic,Hearts,Hibs and some others via letters and e-mails.

A similar post was put on here weeks ago cant remember the posters name stating that a certain element within the Celtic support had made hundreds of calls to clubs threatening boycotts etc and a national rag had got wind of this.
Yet there supporters are on here constantly spouting sporting/moral integrity. Now I see they have a fund going to sponsor players of teams who voted against Rangers.

All Rangers fans should boycot all Rangers games until Charles Green reverses the shameful decision to hand over the TV Rights to the hypocrits in the SPL. Holding on to those TV Rights are just as significant as holding on to our titles. Without those TV Rights the SPL are fecked. However, we Rangers fans will not be lectured from the SPL about 'Integrity' because they have shown with their bullying of the SFL and blackmailing of Rangers that it was always about 'Money'. The fans of all the SPL clubs may be saying one thing but the chairmen of your respective clubs are saying something totally different behind your backs. Rangers may have been disgraced because of the actions of a few men in suits at Ibrox but 'Scottish Football' is a 'Disgrace' because of the 'Hypocricy and Greed' of a few men in suits in the SPL and SFA. First the SPL wanted Rangers parachuted into the First Division then they demanded the TV Rights to all Rangers games in the Third Division in order to secure the Sky deal. I wonder where this sits with all those who shouted about 'Integrity over Money'.

Believable15 Unbelievable15

I as a rangers fan don't want us to play in the spl again. There should only be one governing body in charge not three. The leagues should all benefit financially from the top down no more greed. we where part of that when we broke away and help start the spl. Now it's our duty as football supporters to fight and make sure all teams in Scotland get a fair crack at it and get what they deserve. One Scotland.

Agree3 Disagree5

Yip, kill off the only supply of cash to your club. Nice one.

Agree7 Disagree0

I am under the impression that the SFL own the broadcasting rights for any games in their leagues. If so, why are you blaming Charles Green? I am getting sick of the constant bashing this guy is getting. The more I see him speak the more I think he is doing a good job. Where were all the so called Rangers Men when it came down to it?...Nowhere is the answer. Green and his consortium came up with the cash when it was needed and no one else did, end of. Walter etc came in after the liquidation had been announced...like vultures picking over the bones. If they had come in at he time and when the club needed them the most I would have been right behind them. Stop all the talk of boycotts etc as now is the time to get behind the team and support them in our historic journey through the SFL. Starting today at Brechin.

Why do Rangers need to sign players that no other teams are even interested in, not even the decent junior sides?
The players that stayed such as Alexander, McCulloch, Bocanegra etc. mixed in with the younger squad members should be more than capable to cruise through D3.

Believable6 Unbelievable11

Players are needed for 2 full seasons. That's a huge squad to put together. The bad playing fields will result in many injuries. Expect more players to leave.

Agree5 Disagree0

Bocanegra will go. Can't ask internationals to play at that level. Your mcls and alexanders will need to take paycuts to play at that level obviously. Cost base will need to be reduced to match revenue. Thus we need players because....we need players. A few "experienced heads"/ hatchet men to mix with quality youth products....oh and cheap too- black ticks all the boxes.

Agree4 Disagree0

Trust me lots of teams were interested in ian black, its a major coup for a division 3 team to have signed him.

Agree3 Disagree2

OP what players would these be exactly?. Black, Little, Sheils all had offers to play elsewhere and at a far higher level than D3. As far as I am aware they are the only players who have signed or agreed to sign deals. As for the other players Rangers are looking at, Beattie, Kafes, Kyle etc. To suggest that no other teams have interest in them especially junior sides is laughable. You clearly have no idea about football.
