Hi fellow bears.
Having a wee drink tonight and sitting reflecting on all that has gone on these last few years and feeling very emotional.People ask me how can I be so passionate about a football club, and I tell them to wear a Rangers scarf for a day and then they will see why.The four lads who started the dream, Bill struth, Willie Waddell, Jim Baxter, Jock Wallace, Davie Cooper, Sandy Jardine and the many many others all true blues, I hope your all looking down today and have a wee smile on your faces, Your memory will live on, and so will your beloved club Glasgow Rangers.

06 Mar 2015 22:54:47
God bless Dave King, and his pals, without them we would never have been the same again, ever, we are so fortunate that we have such passionate fans, that's because we are not an ordinary club, we are.RANGERS, not any club, we really are an institution,
To the people who didn't stand the that of Dave winning, u lost,! The gers won!

06 Mar 2015 23:01:49
Great post mate, totally agree with everything you said, some people just don't understand what glasgow rangers means to us true blues, to support the most successful & greatest football club in the world ie.the famous glasgow rangers is a way of life passed through you're family, my late dad passed it on to me and I've been in love with the teddy bears from birth, god rest his soul!

06 Mar 2015 23:14:31
J R, Your dad will be looking down pal with a big smile.

06 Mar 2015 23:33:31
Cheers for the kind words foreverinbluejeans, much appreciated pal!

07 Mar 2015 00:02:25
And so will my wee brother who suffered a dreadful death at Xmas, he gave me his Rangers ring, god bless you Terry, the gers won our club back m8,

07 Mar 2015 01:29:56
Paul Murray has been there since the liquidation trying to get the club on the correct footing and he has to be applauded more than anyone for his determination.
We also have to be thankful to Dave king and the three bears and most importantly all the fans who believed we could beat the shysters who were using our club as easy money based on all our loyalty.
The most important thing we need to get back, more than beating celtic, is the clubs integrity and honesty which has been severely lacking since SDM lead us into the precarious state we are in now.
The most important thing for our club is to regain our standing and integrity more than any championship we have ever won as that is who we are and who rangers are, unfortunately this has been lost over the last few years because of the conmen who blead our club for every penny they could.
But now is the time to be positive. It will take time and pain but at least we have the right men to lead us now.
Thank you Dave king and the three bears but most importantly thank you to everyone of the fans who bought shares, stopped buying merchandise form sports direct and stood up for OUR GREAT CLUB
FOLLOW FOLLOW

07 Mar 2015 03:08:13
In the same boot there miss my dad greatly. But l am sure l felt his presence touch me when l heard that they two fu**ers were gane fae lbrox, hope we can move on the noo.

07 Mar 2015 08:22:06
Gents, I totlally agree with the above posts. This club be is not what some people choose to follow but are born into and was close to being dragged to hell for good, as the new board rightly pointed out. I have been very fortunate to site with my parents in the Broomloan rd growing up, friends in the enclosure and my own family in the Copland rd. This can now continue for everyone who is a part of this great club.

Rangers now and Rangers forever.

07 Mar 2015 09:07:53
Tommy agree with most of what you say mate, apart from getting the punters in to fix the stadium.Its not the village rugby pavillion, as you say we are Rangers, an institution.We will be restored to greatness inside and out soon enough.

07 Mar 2015 10:41:20
A wee post to all my fellow bears who like myself were thinking of loved ones we've all lost and with yesterday's fantastic win for king & co probably made us think we would have done anything 4 our loved ones to have been here to see this, they will be looking down and smiling and always with us so here's to absent friends who we'll never forget!God bless them!

07 Mar 2015 11:10:18
Hear hear mate.

07 Mar 2015 13:56:05
Gkk, I thought it would be good to get unemployed or guys with skills and spare time the chance to be inside Ibrox, helping to fix what is broken, only a thought, all the best m8

07 Mar 2015 15:03:26
Yesterday was a very emotional day all round it would of been my late mothers 80th and was afraid I could not really celebrate the great news we got yesterday but the kind words from fellow posters on this great site I went to the grave and told her what took took place I new she'd of been made up and I felt so much better enjoying the day God bless all fellow Bears going through the same we really are one big magic family

06 Mar 2015 20:04:33
Should rangers start a fan membership scheme like other European clubs? 50,000 fans paying £5 a month is £3 million a year.good source of income.

06 Mar 2015 20:09:11
Wud be up fae that.

06 Mar 2015 20:29:18
That is a fantastic idea. Count me in.

06 Mar 2015 20:40:08
Time to sit back boys and leave the policy decisions up to Mr. King. In our current situation, we must trust him to take us forward as he sees fit. Time for us to start looking at the team on the park and not how it is put there.
Starting tomorrow, let's see how the team reacts and watch Kenny McDowall in action. Depending on the result and the board's reaction, we act accordingly. At the moment we must walk before we run.

06 Mar 2015 22:17:07
Good shout jason brown, no harm in suggesting good ideas to make money for our club, the new board said as much as fan engagement & ideas are important to them, I would be totally up for a fan membership fee, I'm already of many years a season ticket holder, shareholder, rst community shareholder & lifetime member so paying into a fan membership scheme would be no problem, again a good suggestion jason!

06 Mar 2015 22:39:21
I believe that is the p!an, fan ownership with a leading team of 34, and my idea of asking fans who are unemployed, or have time on their hands!and skills, or simply are just grafters, to offer their services to repair Ibrox at no cost. I'm sure Dave king and the board would make sure these people would be rewarded in the long term, and the pride in doing sum thing to help rebuild Rangers would be huge,

06 Mar 2015 22:42:44
Dave has done it billyboy, he has chased the rats out, notice not a word from the chief rat, Murray?

07 Mar 2015 00:01:28
Thanks for the compliments guys c'mon the gers!

06 Mar 2015 18:57:29
I see Royal Blue has posted on the Celtic banter site "god save the king" lol can I gently remind you all that after Green and Whyte you now have John Paul in charge, blessings be upon you.

06 Mar 2015 19:02:53
Oh cheers. All sleep the night.

06 Mar 2015 19:03:06
Tim Alloy?

I posted on a Rangers Site - oh that's right you have your own Rangers Button - bless!

06 Mar 2015 19:05:29
By The Way Tim Alloy

We have god rid of the gobsh whyte; and the person green and those shysters oireland & co - a good day indeed.

Might pop over later and see how those celtic/Rangers supporters are getting on - a bit like cross dressing I suppose (lol)

06 Mar 2015 19:14:26
Jesus Christ timalloy you used to be half comical.

06 Mar 2015 19:24:39
Ha ha Royal Blue yes I enjoy coming over here for the fishing still getting my usual number of bites lol and I know you do not get irony on this site but chiding me on posting here when on your supposed "big day" you are posting on the Celtic site

06 Mar 2015 19:48:20
Tim coming over or coming out.

06 Mar 2015 19:59:17
tim and his mates came out the closet years ago he's just happy for all us bears on our big day

06 Mar 2015 20:01:30
So royal still waiting for you to reply, you seem to have plenty to say

06 Mar 2015 20:05:33
Sorry peep I have been on my other Rangers site - you know the one I mean, it is where we keep the wee peepil!

06 Mar 2015 20:14:22
Plenty to say royal but still no reply why would that be

06 Mar 2015 20:20:22
peeps? What are you on about. You know wee peepil should never do drugs, you do don't you.

I am away back to my other Rangers site - god, I love interjecting with the wee folk, it does you good, so it does.

I still can't believe it - a Rangers button on a wee celtic site, bless! They really do cover us, so they do.

06 Mar 2015 20:31:34
Timalloy - you forgot to mention David . Remember what David did to Goliath??

Keep looking over your shoulder - we
WILL be back :)

06 Mar 2015 23:02:42
Why do you reply to these trolls,? God almighty, they have nothing else in their lives, even real sellik fans wouldn't bother being on here, football is the last thing on their mind, god sake guys ignore,

07 Mar 2015 06:54:22
Thankyou Timalloy
Nice to see a bit of humour coming back to these postings.
Been a long time.
Right now nothing can upset (most of) us but look forward to the rivalry getting back on track.

06 Mar 2015 17:39:44
I hope ally does the right thing now and quit his post and not look for any pay off, time to get a bit of respect back. I think we are right in taking time to appoint new manager/coach as we must get it right this time and as King and co say us the fans must now get behind the team and get Ibrox bouncing again from now till the end of the season. I think everyone knows there are players there now that don't deserve to wear our famous jersey but let's get off there backs and support them from now till the end of the season and if we get promotion fair enough if not another year in the championship might benefit us with new players and a new coach to settle in and at least now everyone is going in the same direction onward and upwards. RITD

06 Mar 2015 17:58:46
I think maybe Ally and Co will cut a deal and go - he and they will not be back.

Onwards and upwards.

God Save the King!

06 Mar 2015 20:13:14
Like him ally or not he still got a massive cheer.

06 Mar 2015 20:15:55
Ally doesn't deserve any money, he got free shares and was on nearly a million quid a year.

06 Mar 2015 20:47:54
Gee ally and the rest their pay off must be pennys compared to what's required to start again, again! Clean slate fresh start new rangers new beginning! Use guys need and deserve it I think you've suffered enough. Just be wary of king and the three wise men. You must have had enough of crooks baring gifts

06 Mar 2015 22:50:54
Had enough of them bearing gifts too mate.

06 Mar 2015 23:07:07
Ally maybe asked to sit on the board, he has a gr8 relationship with DK, don't be surprised if he returns as gaffer to see the season out, it wouldn't surprise me, and he did have the balls to show up today,

07 Mar 2015 07:03:11
It is not Ally's fault he is not a manager. I remember him not only for his scoring but mainly for carrying us through our darkest hour. WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY.
Like to think his talent will get him involved in the commercial side of our Club.

06 Mar 2015 16:36:47
The one main thing I picked up from the news conference today was that everyone seems to be singing from the same hymn sheet. A full house at Ibrox from now 'til the end of the season, that'll give the players a massive boost. C'mon the Bears.
Long live the King.

06 Mar 2015 16:19:38
Just watched the interview with DK at the back doors of the Govan stand. I went over to Ibrox today and sat opposite the main doors in my car and reflected about all the fantastic times I have had with my brother, my best mate and my uncle who is no longer with us. I couldn't help but think I want to back again and as from today we have good people in charge at Ibrox.
I was a bit emotional thinking of all the fantastic times and it seems such a long time ago. Looking forward to better times ahead. The interview with DK was very good and showed a level of respect and dignity that we need at Ranger.

Happy day ahead, difficult times as well but we have a chance with people who want Rangers succeed.

Lets get all the Rats paid what they are due and get them out of our club for good. let's get out of the Sponge Direct contract for the Rangers goods. I could never understand sub-contracting out our merchandise. let's get a deal with a good retailer by all means. But the Rangers shop should be run so maximum profit is returned to the club.

06 Mar 2015 23:31:46
The people outside Ibrox when Dave, Paul and John came out hardly allowed the guy time to speak, we asked for dignity, they were screaming like banshees evert time the man tried to speak, obviously didn't have work to go to, they should have gave the men time to speak, there was a time when they looked embarrassed, I understand we have been thru a lot, but screaming is not doing a lot for our character on sky news,

06 Mar 2015 15:48:46
Great press conferance just given by King and Co.
Open and honest about where we are heading and what will be required to get there.
When they get a chance to go through the books the first thing I would love to find out who is Margareta and Blue Grass are.
Tuesday night should be a full house.

first time in 3 years it feels good to be a teddy bear again watp

06 Mar 2015 15:34:10
I fear Mr King is going to ask McCoist back until the end of the season to finish the job he started. what's the thoughts on this?

I for one am completely against this, however trust Mr King and his associates judgement on the matter. I can see how his return would be viewed by the players. but the guy has limited skills in the managerial sense. Thoughts?

DK: "Always a place for Ally McCoist at the club." However, there will be discussions with both the manager - who is still on gardening leave - and interim boss Kenny McDowall.
C&P from the Daily Record.

06 Mar 2015 15:57:42
No chance, King should know it was the football that kept the fans away almost as much as the board.There's always a groundsman position open for him, I hope King means that.

06 Mar 2015 16:07:47
What do you mean you trust there judgement on mccoist! The majority of fans wanted mccoist out that hasn't changed just because dave king might bring him back, there is no place for him on football side of the club,

06 Mar 2015 16:10:20
Hmmmm I dunno. That seems like a very strange statement to come out with? If they are not going to be hurried into choosing and appointing a new couch until the end of the season, I can see Mr King asking McCoist back and asking McDowell to stay on, finish what you started and leave at the end of the season.

Mr King stated in his press conference "If we go up this season, we go up, if we don't, we don't!" That statement alone is telling. Can only hope not.

Anyway its a great day and no point in worrying, the worst is over and whatever happens from now on, it will at least be being actioned by people acting in the best interests of the club.

06 Mar 2015 16:25:09
Hooly

I don't want him back either mate. It was beyond dross when he was there and McDowall still continues with the same brand of dross!

He had a real gaul even showing up there today! A brass neck as wide as the clyde.

What was meant by Mr Kings judgement was. the guy has just saved us, i'm extremely happy about that and prepared to just let him get on with it. I think re-appointing McCoist would not send out the right signals to the fans but if that's what he choses to do then so be it!

06 Mar 2015 16:47:43
Not a chance of Super Ally being asked to take the reins again.

Be as well giving up on going up through the playoffs if that was to happen and it would not get the amount of bums on seats that the new board require.

06 Mar 2015 17:33:32
Don't want Ally anywhere near the team and can't believe the reception he got today from the fans. This man is as culpable as anyone for the mess of the club and is clueless when it's comes to managing the team. Both him and McDowall need to be nowhere the team if we are to get out of the division. It would be a major mistake to keep McDowall on as manager

06 Mar 2015 15:12:24
stomach now settled, time for a few beers to celebrate and reflect on what has happened to us over the last few years. congrats to the real rangers family, tomorrow as a club and as a family we start moving forward, and make sure were never in this position again, I smell their fear, we welome the chase

06 Mar 2015 15:02:50
Douglas park has now also been appointed as a rangers director, fellow bears let us all now engage together and get glasgow rangers the greatest institutional football club in the world back to the pinnacle of scottish football where we truly belong, what a result and so very proud to be a blue nose, watp, a message to all of scottish football 'we're coming', I attend all rangers games anyway and have done for around 40 years and I hope we all pack ibrox out for every game now, I'm ecstatic, over the moon, rangers 'till I die!

06 Mar 2015 14:24:53
GOD SAVE THE KING!

06 Mar 2015 14:40:33
So happy and relieved to finally have gotten to this day. its been an incredibly long and negative three years. Thank you King & Co, thank you Three Bears and most of all well done everyone of the fans for enduring this and now seeing the other side.

Peace!

06 Mar 2015 14:51:19
Douglas park just been appointed to! Just gets better for a change,

06 Mar 2015 14:23:05
good news at last for the Rangers it's been a long 3 years hopefully they can sort out this mess and get rid of Ashley and esdale once and for all, and we get back to the top. watp

06 Mar 2015 14:12:57
The rats are out guys, Dave has won, yippeeeeee, god bless those men in blue, now get the financial cops after green, Ahmad stock bridge, and get good men back, like all Johnston and malc Murray

06 Mar 2015 14:10:14
Rats out Friday
Now let's have a sell out tuesday

06 Mar 2015 14:05:00
The rats are gone, yesssssss

06 Mar 2015 13:24:27
Just seen online that Sandy Easdale didn't even vote. Looks likely to sell his shares.

06 Mar 2015 13:28:57
He abstained

06 Mar 2015 14:43:03
That was certainly unexpected, although I suspect Dave knew this was coming, am I rite in thinking this abstention included blue pitch and margarita votes ed? Anyone else see llamass at airport last note on news, he was a very angry man, a man who isn't used to losing, he resorted to squealing about Mr King nomad, don't think the man realises he was dealing with real businessmen!

06 Mar 2015 12:45:26
Arsenal fan in peace here. I came on here just to wish all the fans the best of wishes and I hope the egm goes well for you all today . I hope your club rebuilds and once again becomes one of the biggest uk clubs.

06 Mar 2015 13:21:53
thanks bud, your comment is appreciated, fingers crossed eh? :)

06 Mar 2015 13:25:36
Gooner Be Better

Thanks mate QPR in peace lolol (no threat to top teams!)

Heading to the Walkabout Bar in Temple the London RSC having wee celebration there

The good guys won m8, I have a liking for Arsenal and of course Rangers and Arsenal have long and lasting friendship, I don't know if ure aware but Rangers were given around 200 shares in Arsenal many years ago when Rangers helped Arsenal who were in financial trouble, the rat who stole our club sold those shares That Rangers had kept in their blue room under lock and key for a long time, I it was part of both our heritages, he had them copied then sold the real shares for around 200grand, and kept the cash, it would be lovely to see Rangers have those shares back, unlikely I know, but it is one of the emotional aspects that the rats didn't care about

06 Mar 2015 15:29:19
Tommy51
The Arsenal shares are just the tip of the iceberg methinks. Will be interesting to see what comes out over the next few months. I can see rats being led away in handcuffs

06 Mar 2015 16:06:35
Loony goon, good luck to the arsenal mate, hope you have a very successful season, everything tommy 51 says about the rangers/arsenal friendship and the shares we were gifted by then arsenal manager herbert chapman is bang on the money, go on glasgow rangers & the gunners of course, my late gran was a 2nd cousin of wullie waddell and my gran always told me that rangers & arsenal were very friendly in those days and used to play arsenal every year ie.ibrox & highbury in alternative years waddell also had a massive soft spot for the arsenal

06 Mar 2015 17:17:30
I'm well aware of the shares that were gifted as my old man is a Rangers man. I have a soft spot for Rangers as I know about the history of your great club and keep an eye out for your results. Personally, I think what has went on is a disgrace and I'm glad the fans have got their wishes. I don't think that those in charge for the past couple of years understand just how big Rangers are, and what it means to fans. All the best guys, and onwards and upwards from now on for your club.

06 Mar 2015 11:38:05
Who reckons 60% Rangers?

06 Mar 2015 12:23:37
I reckon a landslide of about 70% as the darkside have capitulated.

06 Mar 2015 12:24:19
Where is the last sleazedale hiding?

06 Mar 2015 13:58:13
Unless I have not been counting right I thought it would be around 90% vote in total

Removing easdale leaves around 60% us 10% them

I always totaled 51/55% but think 60% is highly likely

06 Mar 2015 10:53:47
would just like to wish Stiliyan Petrov well in his new venture with Aston Villa backroom team after fighting back against his illness.

06 Mar 2015 12:48:08
True! Good guy!

06 Mar 2015 14:00:57
Good post wee bill he was always a celt you could at least like similar to Larsson and Tommy Burns unlike the classless Brown

Wishing him the best health in future

i am george

06 Mar 2015 09:54:36
Just a post to see what my fellow bears think would anyone like to see nadir cifti sign for rangers no rumour just to de what people think

06 Mar 2015 10:18:40
yes I think he could be a good signing, but let's get a manager in first. RTID

06 Mar 2015 10:22:15
Yes he would be good but there's more important things to do before we can think of signing anybody

06 Mar 2015 10:37:40
Well I think you're getting way ahead of yourself. We need to get the club back, sort out a manager, make the play offs and somehow get beyond Hibs and whichever Premiership side thereafter to even consider people like Cifti.

06 Mar 2015 10:59:27
Nah to hard to sing his name ffs it took us months working out Dado Prso lolol

i am george

06 Mar 2015 11:29:18
Good player but Dundee United is his level imo.

06 Mar 2015 18:39:36
South side bear: He would be a great signing, we should be so lucky

06 Mar 2015 07:52:39
Morning fellow Bears. I woke up today feeling it was like a brave new world for our beloved Glasgow Rangers. All the pain and thieving of the last three years will end today. It is time to stop criticising King and any others have stood up and let themselves be counted and are prepared to boot out Ashley's henchmen. I can't help feeling that the great boost the change will give to the club as a whole will spill over onto the park and with a new coach in asap, we can at least guarantee second place this season. I'll be glued to Sky Sports from 11.00! WATP.

06 Mar 2015 08:31:01
DOIGER?

We have been denigrated; We have been reviled; We have been humiliated; We have denied and we have been attacked, but we are

The Famous Glasgow Rangers

The King is back and he stands on the shoulders of giants.

THE BLUEBELLS ARE BLUE!

06 Mar 2015 08:54:36
i wish I could feel the same as yourselfs, but that won't happen until its all offical, still waiting on something happening from the board, stomach churning!!

06 Mar 2015 09:10:53
On my way over to Ibrox for about 11 am

This day is monumental for The Famous Glasgow Rangers - Scotland will be on the edge of their seats, breaths bated with anticipation and excitement - The biggest and best club in Scotland has awoken from it's slumber!

Remember fans of The Famous Glasgow Rangers the WORLD IS WATCHING!

06 Mar 2015 09:15:02
boyblue(?)

The board will not be there.

06 Mar 2015 11:00:11
Stomach in knots is so true

06 Mar 2015 06:22:18
Here's hoping we get the right result this morning. King has clearly waited for the right time to pounce and get these people out of our club. I think he's right in saying, it's gonnae take a few years to get anywhere near where we were a few years ago. If all goes well this morning, I forsee a full house at Ibrox for the Cowdenbeath game, and possibly a few goals. You can almost feel a sense of hope and pride returning.
Long live the King.
