Shockingly sad to say I've not been to a game since December, just not been well enough. Been keeping tabs on everything going on and am improving. Hello to all out there. Tom.

05 May 2018 20:28:14
Health comes first mate. You've not missed anything. Get better soon.

05 May 2018 20:51:28
Tom get your health in order first the Gers will be there when your fit and ready mate.

05 May 2018 21:14:59
Thanks people, an overdose/ suicide mission that got me detained for a period of time on an acute ward. After group therapy with Hibees, Tics and others I am getting better. I will say here and now regardless of my fellow patients loyalties they were good people with their own individual problems, naturally I took pelters but when it comes down to health, we all won.

06 May 2018 00:39:01
Good lad Tom, 1 for beating it and 2 for having the courage to talk about it in here.

06 May 2018 10:51:02
Hope your back at ibrox soon pal keep fighting the good fight

05 May 2018 20:01:47
Get well soon sir Alex Ferguson hope u pull through big man!

06 May 2018 00:04:24
Watching sky sports news disappointed Rangers haven't made a statement about Alex Fergusons illness. With him being an ex player I would have thought we should have made statement.

05 May 2018 19:31:41
Another tough watch today, Stevie Gerard has his work cut out.

05 May 2018 18:50:09
Stayed till the end watched Bates (our best defender) and Martin both applauding fans. Both saying goodbye. I think gerrard and allan have centre backs lined up for next season. Lots of talk about fresh investment coming in on monday! let's go.

05 May 2018 19:55:47
Should of kept bates bad mistake from the board

05 May 2018 17:57:53
First time post fellow Bears so please be gentle, I agree with CFBear, Bates was immense, what’s he thinking now watching the new revelation starting to unfold knowing he is heading for the German lower leagues. good times ahead!

05 May 2018 18:03:28
Probably thinking I can’t wait to get paid and valued correctly, only 1 person to blame for Bates leaving and that’s our Director of Football

05 May 2018 18:31:48
Let's see who we have in the position next season before we criticise Mark Allen

05 May 2018 19:31:22
The lad wanted more money, we obviously had other plans based on SG etc. The lad is promising he’s decided to go let’s leave it be.

05 May 2018 19:40:28
Presumably the Stevie G and Mark Allen have other central defenders in mind, makes sense especially if we have more investment coming in

05 May 2018 22:52:31
I like Bates but I don't think he's worth 10k a week.

05 May 2018 17:15:11
Thought David Bates was immense today. Hamburg certainty now to be relegated. Do you think the big man has made a mistake especially now losing the chance to work with Stevie g. I can't blame him . at the time let's face it things didn't look good.

05 May 2018 17:53:47
I think he'll regret it but can't hold it against him given how things looked when he made the decision. Wish him all the best

05 May 2018 18:53:27
Stevie will bring in better than bates anyway so its aaaaalll good

05 May 2018 14:29:21
Gerrard is a legend
Scott Brown is a fanny
Gerard's wife's a belter
Rodgers snagged a tranny
The revolutions started
We're going for the big prize
Stevie G's in Glasgow
And we're going for 55
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

05 May 2018 19:33:55
Lol! Look out Stock Aitken and Waterman will snap you up!

06 May 2018 00:07:05
Try doing your talking on the pitch

05 May 2018 13:51:58
If Chelsea were to request musonda to return to Stamford bridge due to lack of playing time with Celtic, which I have seen quoted online, do you think there would be a place for him with us?
I know there may be a bit of controversy given that he has featured for Celtic but surely the days of players not being able to turn out for our club due to playing for our arch rivals are long gone, Miller Presley Johnson just a few examples.
The lad has enormous potential and i would love to see them spitting feathers if he were to showcase his talent with us rather than sit on a bench at parkhead.

05 May 2018 11:15:52
Woke up this morning with an increadable dream that the mighty Stevie gerrard had took over the reins at our club the mighty Glasgow rangers . ah well . can only dream . wonder what dross murts is puttin out the day?

05 May 2018 11:54:49
Mols, 32 years ago I had been out for a "few" beers and then headed home to a frosty welcome. At least my ex-wife left a pillow and a duvet on the living room couch. I woke up the next morning believing Souness was our new player manager.
Naw, it must have been a dream I thought, but it was true and led to a tremendous few years for us.
Trust me, the era that started yesterday will better what we experienced under Souness.

05 May 2018 12:52:50
I hope you are right guys.

Lets go!

05 May 2018 10:54:50
Could SG really have gone anywhere else after Liverpool after all he did grow up on the BLUEBELL Estate in Huyton

05 May 2018 09:31:59
A Challenge to My Fellow Bears let's see if we can come up with some clean funny set of new songs to welcome our new Manager and move forward into the future, I get tired of hearing the same old tunes, Rangers have loads of old songs we could utilise, in the words of our new Manager "Lets Go".

05 May 2018 09:39:51
"BRING IT ON" might also reflect the good news

05 May 2018 13:24:42
the teddy bear song if you go down to Ibrox today your sure of a big surprise, if you go down to Ibrox today youll hardly believe your eyes, for stevie g and garry mac they will bring the good times back todays the day the TEDDY BEARS HAVE THEIR PICNIC

05 May 2018 08:44:52
I wanted Derek McInnes, I wanted Neil Warnock, I wanted Billy Davies. If I go months back to a previous txt and I did say, to be fair, that I would really like Frank Lampard or John Terry as per the Souness era. Apologies Mr Gerrard for not including you in this but it really was just a pipe dream. I never thought that we would actually go down this road. Football is full of highs and lows. If you don't have the lows then you can't fully enjoy the highs. When Souness (God) came we had, in my opinion, the worst Rangers team in living memory. This current team. God bless them. isn't much better. So now along comes Steven Gerrard. If I had a tail I would wag it. I am delighted. Credit where it is due Mr King. well done.

05 May 2018 11:33:44
the team graeme souness inherited would have wiped the floor with todays celtic lmao

05 May 2018 07:14:04
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 5th May 2018

05 May 2018 04:20:51
A don't think we need as much investment as all these pundits are going on about. We are terrible just now but celtic ain't much better 12 points it's not as big a gap as they make out.

05 May 2018 08:19:38
I think your underestimating them a wee bit. The last 2 games especially the last one, they pumped us rotten. They are a very good side. However I think they can be got at.
2 quality centre backs,
2 quality midfielders,
1 number 10
2 quality strikers
Along with some of the squad we have now and we can challenge.

05 May 2018 09:49:32
Ask yourself this- is the gap 12 points due to rangers? I think you will find it because of other teams taking points from Celtic. Good luck and let’s hope next season brings a decent challenge

05 May 2018 10:40:29
The gap is 12 points because of rangers horrendous home form. If we had managed to beat the lesser teams at home we would be right in the hunt. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous

05 May 2018 10:51:58
Bhoy1411 that's what is supposed to happen. It's not a league with 2 teams in it.
It's high about time the smaller teams recognise that at the start of the season every team has a chance to win title. It's not celtics right to expect the title. They have biggest budget and best squad but if you don't set sights high then what is the point competing?
Every team should try and take points of every team. It's a competition after all over the course of season.
Feel very positive Rangers will be very different next season.

05 May 2018 00:31:17
Listened to every word Stevie had to say n his interviews and I must say I never heard one word out of place. a class act. maybe just maybe this is the time. instead of making do with other tried tested and failed more secure options our board have given us a chance of Valhalla. very very inspiring. Certain people . (. you know who you are ) shuld be ashamed and embarrassed at the lack of faith they showed our board. I for one want to unreservedly thank them . and apologise for the dross hurled at them recently
. let's get behind Stevie Let's go indeed let's go.

05 May 2018 07:27:38
"I am honoured to become the next manager of Rangers. I have enormous respect for this football club, and its history and tradition.
That'll do for starters son.

04 May 2018 23:20:09
Seems everyone is talking rangers now Stevie g is in charge. Conte, klopp, rafa Benitez all talking about it in there press conferences today. First time in a long time anyone down south has paid attention to what's going on up here. Can only be a good thing.

05 May 2018 01:54:09
Aye, but what other footballing nation would define itself by how it’s judged by its neighbour? I think its sad that somehow we’ve ended up with such a poor opinion of our game that we look to the commentators of the English game to find value here.

Its a distorted way to see ourselves, and its only because Sky and BT don't do right by the Scottish viewers and put in equivalent funds to buy the rights to our game as they once did south of the border. Of course, our game isn’t worth it, is it? But if 8% (population pro-rata) of that fat fee was available to our Premiership, we’d see a growth in our game to redress the balance.

04 May 2018 22:35:22
If any of the current squad think they have 3 weeks to prove to Stevie Gerrard tgey are worthy of playing for The Rangers then they are WRONG!

They have had a number of clean slates! A number of opportunities! A number of big games to and win! An endless amount of chances to prove themselves as individuals and as team players

Halliday ohalloran holt martin D. john Tavernier windass morelos Pena Herrera just to name a few could all score a hat trick and throw in world class performances from now and until end of the season and they still should ALL be out the door.

Our best players are simply the best of a bad lot. The jersey is too heavy. Away and linger in League 1 and championship where there's ZERO pressure.

Forget who Stevie G is bringing in!

Let's get this home dressing room EMPTIED! .

" LET'S GO ".

05 May 2018 05:28:51
Don’t see why o hallorens name is in that list the guy has never been giving a shot to show what he can do the guy who signed him never game him a chance fell out wit Pedro and murty only recalled him from his loan to not included him in most squads not seeing he’s going to end up a player but the guy at least deserves a chance to put his case to Gerrard I wouldn’t be writing off any of the current squad making a dramatic u turn not saying every player will but good chance there could be few players who find the next gear and shine under a new manger

05 May 2018 06:39:18
that guy doesn't give a flying hoot about our club never looks interested he's stole a living at our club and its time to put him out on his ass even on the bench when we're losing he's not exactly saying let me on I can change this game he's all smiles chewing his gum

05 May 2018 07:39:24
Give him a effing chance man is all I’m saying clean slate for every player at the club

05 May 2018 08:33:24
Bbg. OHalloran was laughing away when we were getting gubbed by Celtic. he's first out the door!

05 May 2018 09:16:55
Clean slate for everyone, but I think it's plain to see some will never cut it. 3 managers haven't rated ohallaran.

There's a lot of squad players who will go, and some first team.

Some players will improve playing with better players and better coaching, but in my eyes you'll not make the following into rangers players:
Martin, haliday, dodo, ohallaran cardosa, dalcio, Cummings, herrera, pena, hodson

Time to think again like rangers fans, and not accept mediocrity

04 May 2018 22:20:35
I'm hoping last three games are an indication of things to come. Three wins cement second and basis for good European run highlighting SG means business.

05 May 2018 00:40:19
Wishful thinking we may very well lose all 3 games

05 May 2018 00:58:56
And we may very well win all three, Mr Doom.

05 May 2018 06:41:24
Hope Gerrard get a to talk to the players let them know they have 3 auditions for there job and he's said it he will be watching the games and analysing what we have

04 May 2018 22:03:35
Like everyone ( well most on here ) I am delighted to have such a name come to our great club. Investment surely to be announced soon. GS and BK I wonder? And for Ryan Jack Greg Docherty Jamie Barkonas. Lads you are all young and have great potential. As midfielders you will be learning from one of the best ever to have been born in the UK. As for our Liverpool connection. KOP = King over pope . Let's go.
