I was considering using a 4-4-2 but then I thought, it's Division 3: we should just attack. So I'm using a 4-2-3-1, Let me know what you think please.

Is Sir Walter of Cardigan back in charge ? One up front in Div 3 , against these mobs you should be playing the 60's formation with 5 forwards ffs

So true @5, Lmao, the W.A.T.P mob trying to get their tactics right to win the 3rd div. ffs get a grip your becoming even more embarrasing.....Stevie
Agree5

Giving them the benfit of the doubt last week as it was the first game
but surely we should be playing at a higher pace and passing these teams off the park - the next couple of years gives a chance to develop a good attacking style of play.
Unfortunately last week we appeared to be slow, and reverted to long ball too often
Its the bottom end of scottish football FFS!

Did I just imagine it or did some form of sanity breakout several months ago for Rangers fans? "We should nurture the young players and run a tight ship." Alas that has became we should sign Craig Gordon and any number of quoted players. You really cant help yourselves can you? It is becoming increasingly evident that any attempt by David Murray to say "look we cant afford this and are going to have to practically hand Celtic a few titles to balance the books" would not have been tolerated by the vast majority of you. Is McCoist still on around a million a year by the way?

If his contract was that with the oldco and was transferred under TUPE then he will be.
Agree6

Evidently you will find that we have only signed two players and they were free agents,as for the
Players being touted daily o think you'll find about 75 percent are names being thrown about a rout site and by the press.on this subject i notice Celtic are being linked with there fair share of non starters,Rhodes,Vaughan,the best one by a mile skirtel from Liverpool.so watch your landing when you fall from your moral highhorse,no doubt another Celtic fan obsessed with the rangers. {Ed039's Note - Never heard the skrtel one)

@2&3: how do you know the OP is a Celtic fan? As usual, you just assume anything you don't like has been written by one.
Agree10
Disagree11
Celtic are in the SPL and have a chance of making the group stages of the Champions League or at least the Europa League , you lot are in Div 3 with no prospect of European Football for a minimum of 4 years , you owe several clubs money to the tune of £3m , so how can you be talking about players like Craig Gordon (who Celtic couldn't afford to pay) trying to buy success has put you in the position you are in , wake up and smell the coffee .
Agree8
Disagree4
Hold on a minute 6). I thought we were a new club. So how can we owe money to anyone? Surely those debts went with the old club. No?
Agree4
Disagree5
@ 3 This is the OP, I was merely trying to do you a favour, for months in here people have been spouting "cut our cloth to suit" etc but why should I care, just carry on the same old way, with the fiscal responsibility of an eggplant. @ 2, I only posted because ON HERE, not anywhere else, some fan had suggested Craig Gordon. Oh and by the way am I right in thinking Black is on £7k a week? Isn't that a bit expensive for Division 3? Sure there is the transfer embargo but it is still a huge expense for Division 2. What happened to the lets nurture the kids from Murray Park notion? I'm tempted to say you are throwing good money after bad but the reality is you are throwing good money after 276 creditors money.

The Rangers Finance Director, Imran Ahmad, is a close business partner of one Craig Whyte.
Charles Green has been involved with Ticketus's parent group.
Source: Merchant House Group
Craig Whyte is an asset stripper, Mr Ahmad has already made reference to the value in Ibrox and the training facility.
Whyte didn't get what he wanted first time round with his "floating charge". He's going to make sure he does this time.
Very, very concerned bear.

Guys we need to chill andseewhat happens. Things are looking ok, even if it is Ickes hat are the real owners, anyone ever thought they might be thinking of getting rangers back to the top of Scottish football, running a tight ship and then sell for a massive profit? They only paid 5.5m for the club! With no debt etc we will be worth at least 30 - 40m including all assets.

If we are worth £30-40m then BDO will anull the sale to Green's consortium.

Good Day Fellow Bears.
Well thank the mighty duck we are back playing football again, well almost. I have been through some pretty sh***y times, but this past saga has taken the biscuit let me tell you.
However we are on the march once again, so let’s get behind the wee man and his troops.
This Ragan and Doncaster what a side show they are, a bit like Punch and Judy, they almost single headedly made a laughing stock of Scottish football, I know there will be a sh** pile of you muck raking sadooo’s posting that it was all our fault, we weren’t working the puppets..
And now the SFA want of Mr Green proof regarding his bigotry comment, go listen to some of the press comments from yourselves and the other SPL member clubs chairmen on, before and after the voting process, very good listening.
To the SFA I say quite simply please do us the justice of tabling the proof to support your claims of hate and death threats from Rangers fans, please lay it out, show the world your proof, or even, shut up, and stop all your nonsense and leave us to get on with playing football and rebuilding.…… O” and stop putting the boot in, you have your TV money so leave us alone.
It’s great being a bear.

As if they'd make it up. These demands are pathetic, much like those from McCoist about the panel that led them to being threatened.

I think you'll find that the biggest laughing stock in Scottish football at the moment is Rangers. You'd say exactly the same about Celtic if they'd been horrendously run, liquidated and were in the third division.

Stop being an idiot.The police are investigating everything and no one so far has blamed rangers.

Has everything said about rangers going into admin been forgotten has all the decisions by the spl been forgotten, are we to accept being kept holding on for weeks not knowing what was happening if we would be playing ever again, Yes Total Hatred of the Rangers, this as Mr Green rightly said was caused by BIGOTRY! I agree 100% no one mentioned Religious Bigotry but this is what the press are playing it as, Cant anyone say anything to defend us without being kicked back into touch by sfa spl sfl newspapers radio tv, LEAVE US ALONE! WE will be back and we will have our revenge, god willing!

Original post: some great comments.
@3 as always I think you will find there is an intent to direct everything hateful in archers direction it has happened now since our decline. I have been campaigning against this for some time now. The BBC have many cases to answer. So don't play the big brother role asking people to grow up, it's a belief and an opinion shared by many Ger fans.
It's easy to kick us right now because we are weak. However I grow more and more tired of pious Celtic fans spewing nothing but drivel. There has been many reactions stemmed from bigotry, Green was pointing the finger at opposing fans. Led by hatred of our club and certainly not by facts.
I don't expect you to agree and I most certainly couldn't give a flying toss for what you think. I have absolutely NO interest in any other club in this country only my own.

Yes to Hateley, could do a job for us in the next couple of years. Big strong lad. Don't see the need for Gordon though, we have a great keeper in Alexander. He deserves his chance, never let us down and has shown his loyalty. Can't see Gordon sitting on the bench!

And what do you think Craig Gordon's weekly wage was at Sunderland?

I think Craig Gordon will be whistling for Craig Gordon's weekly wage at Sunderland. He doesn't appear to be batting them off with a sh!tey stick from what I can see. The jambos certainly pulled a stroke getting £9m there.
