ok ,so rangers are in a mess
losing jelavic doesnt help either but to be honest he wasnt playing worth a toss anyway lately,
all is not lost and we are only 1 point behind a very poor celtic team,this will be the best league title ever if ally can deliver so lets keep the faith and support the team
watp
mango fae perth

Didn't know you got mangos in Perth. lol.

Poor or not they are streets ahead of us with twice the depth mate. Im hoping for a miracle but the reality is there for all to see

Wake up you must be dreaming

You really think that celtic team is poor? What does that make us! I'm hopeful, but I'm a realist and I admit that they are a good team (in this league) and unless we pull a miracle out the back, I can see them running away with it.

Like most gers fans wld admit selik r miles ahead o us like above post says,like it or not administration is upon us and points deduction is more than likely,so in effect we wld have to claw bk minimum 14 - 20 points fairly impossible considering the sham we r in

I think you mean Mongo fae Perth, Celtic are the best footballing team in this country thats a cert! Your mob are talking about playing McCulloch up front, the guy you all call Jig(saw), cause he goes to pieces in the box! Whilst we have Forrest, Hooper, Stokes Brozek and Commons to play up front.

This "very poor" Celtic team have won their last 14 games, whilst your mob having been giving away points!

Think before you type, even your own supporters are embarrased by you!

DazzaBhoy

Why do Rangers fans always come away with the statement "up against a poor Celtic team" when Rangers are playing crap, but when Rangers are playing well and winning it is never against a " poor Celtic team", man you's are deluded, wake up, Rangers are in SERIOUS bother, and right at this minute Celtic are streets ahead of Rangers.

Celtic are a poor poor team with it all to prove... when did you win the league last?? deep down timmy knows they r going to drop 3pts against the jambos!

Well said Brother.

How are celtic streets ahead of rangers? you are 1 point ahead of a team that has lost its 3 top goalscorers now, has been hit with other injurys and cant afford to bring any replacements (Not even free transfers) and are still only 1 point behind... in my opinion if celtic lose the league this year its the equivalent of Vitali Klitschko being knocked out by a blindfolded lightweight with one arm tied behind his back and missing a leg. so what does that say about your sh**ey club. WATP

Mr Blonde

You just said if, if, if, if, then what does that say about your club? It says nothing because it was full of if's. And we're only one point today - and you've only just lost the striker in question - the fact is the MASSIVE point swing over the last 2/3 months wasn't without all these players, only Naismith. If we don't win the title then we deserve all the ridicule we get. If, and that's a big if. You on the other hand have blown a massive, massive lead, being slapped out of 3 cups and are on your knees. Worry about your own club. If we don't win the league then fair play to Motherwell or Hearts of will have.

More like Mongo from Perth! And I'm a bloody Rangers man AND an Optimist!

When you start winning titles instead of shouting ur mouths off about how many points ul win the league by u can then say what a good team u are. the bottom line is celtic are descent by spl standards however if u are judging them as a eurpean side then they are extremely average. if u timmy are so convinced ul win the league then why don't u empty ur account and bet on your team. celtic fans won't admit it but their is a doubt in their heads that they could blow the title against a club with no money and in crisis. i for one still believe the gers will win the league in spite of our troubles. come on the hearts on wednesday!!!

I only used the word IF ONCE in my full post... looking forward to the day the green and white bottle merchants inevitably crumble, When i see you Celtic i see runners up your just not good enough your just not good enough

heard some info today .from guy who is well informed ...and lets just say the black clouds could soon be dispersing from edmiston drive .things will soon be clearer in say 4 or 5 weeks time .

Pls tell. How do u no or is this just a load of pony!!

I hope your right but your not exactly giving us much to go on. A guy on the know tole me things will get better. Come on try better with your info

Dont tell! just let things run there course and dont give timmy any chance of picking holes in mr whytes plan

Not lies m8 ive been told some info from high up sources however the question i put out to the rangers fans is how long is craig whyte goin to b stayin at rangers??

Of course things will be clearer in 4 or 5 weeks. We will have the outcome of the tax case

Heard some info - but can't say? Typical. What a lot of balls.

Was it the weather man

I was waiting for all the negative comments but im not saying to much but trust me things will get better . just wait ..bigt

We are still champions

If only it where true, want to believe it but sadly think it's just mindless optimism

There are alot of rumours.... but i seem to hear a recurring rumour that whyte is part of a bigger plan. whyte is there to take the club either in to admin or successful through the tax case then sell a substantial part of the shares to 1 or 2wealthy investors. whether we go into admin or on the investors will step up.

One word for all of the above..... DELUDED!

Dream on.

Thats a pointless post mate -sum info? 4- 5 weeks? more like nae info
stg

I like how many people are acquantant with "people in the know" but are on this site spewing crap, who is the well informed person, is it snowie?

Of couse mate ur contact work for hmrc then?? So do 3 of ma mates and there is no possible way to find out well just have to wait and see wat happens so stop putting a load of mince on. These pages.

Gazza confirmed to play in legends
Charity game. Against ac milan

Will he be bring the chicken and the 4 cans of lagar

Show some respect

he's been thru tough times

oh and he's a rangers legend

The most talented player in scotland last 30 years. what i'd give to see players of that ilk now at ibrox!

His performance against Aberdeen at ibrox was the best individual performance by any player that I have seen in forty years of going to ibrox. A football genius

Loved gazza at rangers, would be a breath of fresh air to see him run out at ibrox with a blue shirt on again!

The man a legned leave him alone

I still can't believe we had a player of such brilliance at ibrox. The 8 in a row season was all about him and then he continoued into Euro 96, total genius

What charity? Rangers? Craig Whyte?

03 Feb 2012 18:04:06
who is telling the truth regarding the transfer of jelavic?whyte/russell or ally/jelavic?certainly know which pair i believe.

Give us a clue then

Mr whyte told us he wasnt banned from direactorship,then said he had not sold a % of the season books-then the truth came out so i know and trust both football men

They are all telling the truth
but not the whole truth, its blown out of all proportion. Jelavic didnt want to leave but he got an offer he could not refuse.

To all the donuts that were claiming McCoist was quiting - read the mans words

""Absolutely never"

BBC Sport

Say whats he likes, he was thinking about it, no doubt about it, it was in his face other night, nobody can hide it when its stareing you in the face, he was on the brink, no question about it ?

Why should he?get more money when whyte tells him to go,artybhoy

Now that's over and done, let's get right behind him and win this league

Whats this "staring at his face" crap? are you a mindreader? Maybe he was unhappy at not getting more bodies in - as many managers often are - doesnt mean to say he was thinking about quiting - get real. McCoist is here to stay and he'll just love pumping smellic into second place yet again.

What part of 'absolutely never' do people not understand

Unhappy at not getting more bodies? come on , understatement of year, what planet are you on? he was on the brink of quiting, dont blame him, so wake up to reality.

Pumping smellic to second place with no strikers, get a life, what are you on?some manager you would be.

03 Feb 2012 15:44:38
Just heard on the radio super ally going no were as he is a true blue that's that rumour put to bed now lets move on and give him the support he needs

03 Feb 2012 12:54:24
Firstly I'd like to make it clear that the sooner Whyte's away the better cause he's a con-man.

Ally, why on earth would you loan out Fleck and Hutton who could both contribute greatly if played.

Your stubborn managerial approach is driving me nuts. Broadfoot is Shight, McCulloch (stop picking him and blood our youth FFS). I'm sick of watching these players play and we get rid of our players who can play (Adam, Burke, McCormack, Shinnie, Fleck, Hutton etc...). Your Walter Smith approach is the cowards way, have some bottle man and pick players who have the technical ability.

I'll back the team to the end but it looks like my hero just aint up to the job.

Larry RTID

Its an opinion you are expressing and not a rumour but I do agree with you

Adam was a target of the boo boys while playing for us. Hindsight is a luxury.

I agree Ally was a great player but he hasn't got it to be a manager. But who would replace him if he went? Billy Davies?

Well said mate,mculloch is finished,too negative and his first touch is a foul,what has happened with kyle hutton is a disgrace,ally better not moan about a small squad now coz he has let so many leave on loan ffs

Loaned players can be recalled if really needed, stop being so negative & back the manager, if a true Rangers supporter you'd get behind the team no matter who puts on the jersey, in Ally we trust

Kyle Hutton is out on loan to get more games and match sharpness (just signed new contract) - he has no chance of getting in ahead of Edu and Davis just now. Why don't yous lot stop greetin' and start SUPPORTING THE TEAM? - pete

I'm sorry lads but I think your wrong. They were farmed out to reduce the wage bill, its that simple. If there was an enquiry then they were being shipped out, first come first served. If the interest was with Ness then it would have been him, not Fleck.

In relation to Ally not up to the job, wake up. He has practically no support, no money, no squad, Europe was too early and on any other night with the chances created we would have won both games by 4 or 5. NO MANAGER has given the kids a chance. Smith. McLeish, McCoist Souness, they are all the same in that regard.

Sorry but your way off.

GDog
WATP

I used to believe Ally wasnt upto the job but you have all seen how pissed off ally was leaving Ibrox with his wee note of injuries. he had had a list of targets which whyte just tries to get a bargain on or forgets about him.

Whyte is the problem here!

Well said mate! Im sick of us playing the oldies. Give the young guys the chance to do it. Young guys play with no fear (Falkirk) and thats what we need. Ally start believing in the young uns

Will never blood the younger players because of the clause with Murray Park,play so many 1st team matches they gotta pay a fee as reported before

Don't use the term RTID whoever owns us or manages us doesnt matter wether we win lose or draw we are ( and i am so proud of this) glasgow rangers fc! we need to keep people like you out of ibrox mate!!!

stay away its supporters we need not more critisism!

There will always be a Glasgow Rangers. The club will survive. Even at worse, if rangers were struggling and on the brink of collapse, the SPL would help out because Rangers attract 40% of its income.

Without Rangers, sponsorships and TV rights would be lost.

Rangers will be a feeder club to the english premier league, producing the finest crop of young scottish talents.

McCoist is the man to take Rangers forward. Whyte wont sack him and Bring in Billy Davies (old school boss).

If rangers did ever need to replace Mccoist, the candidates would be McCall, McInnes or maybe even Butcher!

Theres no such team as "glasgow rangers"its just plain rangers mate but cheer up after whytes finished you can form "glasgow rangers"and ply your trade in the 3rd division ! jm1888

The SPL wont be able to help a new rfc out they have no jurisdiction over div 3. Accept the consequences of the actions of rfc over the past 20 years and either pay your debts or fold. By the way from 1965 till 1987 RFC won the league twice so clearly Scottish teams were better domestically and on the European stage when rangers were weaker

To jm1888 dream on, will never happen as if no Rangers no Celtic, both clubs need each other, though could do without fans like you....rivals not enemies, rid the auld firm bigotry once & for all

There has never been a Glasgow rangers, I'm a Celtic fan and even I know that.

mark67

For there not a team like the glasgow rangers, no not one and they never shall be one! cant beleive celetic fans are being so petty because ive call rangers, glasgow rangers!!

rangers will never be in the 3rd division, 10 point deduction at the most, so the worst that could happen is that we will happen is we will finish 2nd!

I dont understand why rangers claim to support our heroes but then put their lives at risk by not paying taxes that could help them

I berwick rangers

I know it doesn't really matter now cause its done, but who believes Jel when he said he would have stayed and who believes Whyte about Jel asking to leave.

Who do you believe...
believeable= Jel unbieveable=Whyte

I believe him. He stated last week that he would have been happy to continue playing for Rangers if he weren't sold.

If he wanted out like Whyte said then don't you think the redtop rags would have been all over it like a rash??

The DR don't leave a stone unturned when it comes to Rangers.

I do believe, however, that Jelavic was unsettled by the constant rumours linking him to other clubs. He was linked with moves to the EPL from the day he signed!

TTG

Mate, can we not move on from this? its been done and now we have more important matters to worry about.
TODD88

To be perfectly honest I think its a bit of both. He never denied he wanted to play in the EPL one day and talked up every club interested so maybe some at Ibrox thought from that understandably he was wanting to leave. On the other hand i do believe he would've stayed if asked but then again may not have been the player he was. How many times have we seen an unhappy player down tools. Just a shame we left it so late and that the board wouldn't help Ally with any of his targets.

And if we are so skint why are we bringing in all these trialists we can't afford to sign
( maybe a better idea would be asking some of our wealthier fans to pay for a training session along with the first team squad if thats the case ???? )

As you said, it doesn t really matter. The truth is, his form has dipped since the summer- or he would have been worth nearer £8m. Wish him good luck, and we just move on.

No player is bigger than RANGERS.

we should go 4 3 3 now jelavic has gone. aluko n celik either side of healy, when laffs back healy drops to the bench. play davis more advanced allowing him to link midfield to front n play edu n mcculloch/bartley beside him as the ball winners. back 4 kinda takes care of itself. i know a lot of fans dont like mcculloch but we have limited options. the pressures on celtic now....ally has been let down with no replacement for jelavic but we have to get behind him n the players he picks.

my team

--------------------------shagger-----------------------

bartley/whittaker----goian---boca-----papac/wallace


-------------------mcculloch----edu--------------------

---------------------------davis---------------------------

celik/aluko--------healy/lafferty------------celik/aluko


thoughts???
j1985

My thoughts are that I would like a sample of your p*ss for testing and to get a supply of whatever recreational drugs you are on!

J1985 - McCulloch and Edu should never i repeat never been on the field at the same time

If we play 3 midfielders then it has to be right center and left or we leave ourself wide open down the wings each can take it in turn to push forward and the full backs need to push on as well

What we would need with that line up is players making the effort to get behind the ball quickly when we lose it including the front 3

JG

Ignore the above teeewat! Bang on mate apart from drop McCulloch and give Skippy a go :D

Defo not mcclulloch he is abso sh***

My thoughts are that you obviously haven't seen Jig and Edu play together!

TTG

I agree however my team would be

Shagger
Bartley Goian Boca Papac

Edu Davis Wallace

Aluko Healy Celik

its not a bad idea but it defo wont happen.

McCulloch is not, i repeat not a 1st team starter. he is however useful as cover..... when desperate

I'd play Jig upfront, he may bang in some goals...

---------------McGregor---------------

Whitts/Bartley--Goian--Boca----Papac---

----------------Edu--------------------
----Aluko-------Davis-----Wallace/Wylde
------------Celik-----------------------
-----------------McCulloch-------------

I agree with the majority of people that we should have a change of formation as we have become a we bit too predictable, however the only thing i am sure of is that weather or not McCulloch used to be a decent player, he is not now he is rotten evey time a see his name in the 1st 11 i die a little inside, i would have edu playing before him every single time, and i dont rate edu that highly, however he is a good athlete and breaks up alot of play just by gettin there on time, the ball is always just that we bit too far away from McCulloch and that lets us down alot. I know beggers cant be chosers and we dont have many really good players but we have better players than McCulloch even in the state we are in.

Macgregor, Whittaker, goian, boca, Wallace, edu, Davis, celik, aluko, naisy (when fit obviously), lafferty

Until naisy is fit maybe papac in and Wallace further up

Like to see McKay get a chance

Healy on plays against bottom 6

Obviously....theres no other players,

My thoughts are this team is garbage and cant be successful

I thought lafferty was still

03 Feb 2012 11:22:02
can someone tell me why we dont go for Enar Jaager as he is a free agent and Rangers have freed up 6 wage bills?????

Have you been on the moon mate

We are short of money to be giving out new contracts to anyone and have to reduce the size of the squad

JG

I think it would have happened by now if it was going to happen.with they way ally came out ibrox on monday night i think if the owner was going to let him sign anyone then surly it would have been done by now.

.....because those 6 wage bills will be sitting in Mr Whytes bank account.

TTG

No Europe, No Season Ticket Money, No Income, its only going to get worse boys

bout the rumour that the scottish Gouvernment are going to step in and stop rangers from going into administration is total Rubbish ,

It is coming from Yesterdays Prime Ministers Questions when a torrie back bencher asked about Portsmouth Fc and HMRC .

She asked if the prime Minister would help in setting up a meeting with the club and HMRC and try sort out an agreement to pay back the £1.6 million they owe.

Cameron said he would look into it . And it would be in the best intrest of the club to arrange a meeting with HMRC so they can discuss the best way that they would pay back what they owe.
Pointing out they would have to pay what they owe.
No deals in terms of paying less .

Cameron already stated only 2 months ago that HMRC have to be more tough on businesses and stated that they need to stop accepting lesser payment on dept such as the vodafone scandel.

Also the scottish Gouvernment have no say in HMRC matters they only way they could help rangers is to pay the dept for them, which i doubt they will do.

As a proud Rangers Fan and season book holder for many years i'm finding it hard to accept the reality and seriousness of this situation .

And i strongly believe that if there is any way we are going to fight it , We as Rangers fans have to step up and support our club.

We have situations either back whyte and ask for a new share issue and do as celtic do and never let one man have over 50% of the shares and when it come's to major decisions let the shareholders vote.

I for one don't trust whyte in holding all our assets as he can shout his mouth off about it was the old board who got us into this mess but he new what he was buying when he took over, he did his due diligence so when he took over he had a plan , but things don't look so good for us just now so where did his plan go wrong as he couldn't count Champions League Moneys in when he bought the club as we had not won the League yet.

2nd scenario.

If the club goes into liquidation and the club dies .
If a new Glasgow Rangers is set up it should only happen through the supporters trust holding an election for a figure heads such as King and the Fans get to decide .

If we die i for one dont want to see Whyte anywhere near my club . He deals with high risk business ventures and is known to strip buisnesses of there assets . If this happens i for one will think this has been his plan all along .

Let the club die , strip our assets start a new club and then sell it off to a new owner . so he makes money selling all we have . starts a new club sells it an walks away with millions.

sorry Ed for this being so long but i fell strongly about this and i do think Us as rangers fans should take our heads out of the sand and hope for the best and prepair for the worst and get the supporters trust to get together and do something with the fans to get things going to save the club ourselves.

as we say

Heeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw !!

King.....ffs.....Don't you know the history of this guy?

Govt allowing high ranking Cival Servants to dodge tax. Rules for one

A figurehead such as King? Lol is this the same king who is under investigation for tax evasion in south africa! Deary me this proved to me really how desperate or dumb you really are.
