A genuine question here (somewhat historical), but was watching youtube last night and it came up that Pedro accused either Kenny Miller, Lee Wallace or Andy Halliday of leaking stuff to the press.
There's been a few comments on here over the years.
Was this true and proven by solid proof or just accusations?
1.) 21 Jan 2025 17:39:17
Pretty sure it was Kenny miller but don't know where I heard it.
2.) 21 Jan 2025 17:49:23
Think it was an open secret that it was Kenny Miller but never ever saw any proof.
3.) 21 Jan 2025 17:59:02
It was Kenny miller that was doing it.
4.) 21 Jan 2025 18:07:07
Kenny Miller was suspected as being the mole, he was very pally with Keef Jackson and he seemed to have far too many inside stories at the time.
5.) 21 Jan 2025 18:10:28
Seems common knowledge it's Kenny miller but of course I can't be certain.
6.) 21 Jan 2025 18:33:26
Was it not Wallace who was blamed?
7.) 21 Jan 2025 18:36:31
Miller got the blame as he was friends with the journalist, the reality is it was probably one of the drunks that Pedro signed. The video was hilarious.
8.) 21 Jan 2025 18:57:01
Wsl correct.
9.) 21 jan 2025 19:31:06
players been giving inside tidbits since god was an alterboy, nothing new in that, and they still do no doubt,
10.) 21 Jan 2025 20:42:13
A wee bit of info to a journo pal for some positive spins and to get a 7 or 8 instead of a 6 in Sunday paper ratings was always common place. Miller and his mrs were apparently at it for a decent spell.
11.) 21 Jan 2025 20:59:19
Kenny Millers wife, has she no got a bit of a gob?
12.) 21 Jan 2025 23:02:37
Bit harsh mills?
13.) 22 Jan 2025 09:17:06
It wasn't Miller as the leaks etc kept going even after he had left.
I'll leave that up to you to decide who indeed it was. Isn't hard really.

We need an updated post at the top of this page, so here goes.
I used to go to ikea to steal pencils for the golf. Now I just go for the meatballs and mash.
1.) 07 Apr 2025 23:09:45
I've never been in an Ikea but i have drank vodka mixed with strawberry milk with a Swedish dude in Dubai airport before. I had the vodka he had the milk and we had some refreshing cocktails whilst waiting on our flight.
2.) 08 Apr 2025 12:47:15
Three Cheers IKEA follow the yellow brick road as the locals call it, There's only one here in Perth Western Australia and it's always busy, If you want to furnish your house on a budget, It's the place to go. ?????????.

I'm still disgusted by some of those players, but, it would be churlish not to put that aside and say, to a man, they were immense.
A few who i thought were exceptional.
1. Dio - his best game yet for us possibly.
2. Barron - not much football of late but what a never say die attitude and engine
3. Raskin - everywhere. Different class.
Butland - his usual, either brilliant or cr*p. Brilliant saves, mental fart to knock out Propper.
Jefte - really good for 20 mins then switches off, let's a man run off him which could have cost a goal. Overall though good game.
Big CD - Nuff said.
1.) 06 Mar 2025 22:21:22
So chuffed to see Barron getting some good reviews.
2.) 06 mar 2025 22:22:12
as always a fair and goodly post athole.
3.) 06 Mar 2025 22:36:00
Watched the game in southend way the commentary of the spurs game on so no idea if butland or proper made a shout. Whose fault was it?
4.) 06 Mar 2025 22:45:51
I also thought sterling when he came on stopped there threat at the time St. maximim. every player did there job but our mom was Barry he was brave to change things for such a game.
5.) 07 Mar 2025 00:23:43
Barron may not be the most technically gifted but by God the we man puts in a shift.
One thing I did notice with jefte is his work rate, the way he bombs up and down that wing is tiring to watch, what an athlete he is. I get he needs to add so much more but reminds me a bit like Allan Hutton.
6.) 07 Mar 2025 07:16:24
Southend - to be fair i'm not sure of the communication. Certainly after it Raskin was having a go at Butland. For me Butland should have read it and taken a few steps back.
Could have been really nasty.
7.) 07 Mar 2025 08:25:30
Southend I think that was the issue that neither shouted so both went to deal with it late and Butland as keepers do clears out everything. If I was the defender i'd be screaming it was mine so I don't get clattered.
Both Barron and Jefte Gove the team the energy and tempo we need to play that game. yes he might switch off mentally occasionally but that will get better as he gets experience. Barron does a lot of the unflashy work so doesn't get noticed like others.
26 Feb 2025 08:29:22
EHL - as a laymen, can i ask a daft question please bud?
Is the tempo of the training different in the day or two since new team came in?
I was mightily impressed with training video but i'm conscious you only see edited snippets and it could have been just as intense under PC.
1.) 26 Feb 2025 09:42:42
Excellent question athole, though you would imagine they would be trying to bust a gut for the new team?
2.) 26 Feb 2025 09:50:06
Was very impressed by Billy Dodds in the clips. Seems to have a real energy and enthusiasm which looks infectious. He clearly knows his stuff as well but that energy he brings can't be coached.
3.) 26 Feb 2025 10:04:38
Hello, not in the slightest.
The only thing that really stood out for me was the emphasis on communication - which I thought Dodds was absolutely tremendous at.
4.) 26 Feb 2025 14:26:35
A lot of people chastised the appointment of Dodds but from the training video it's clear to see his value, communication is key and he's loud and clear in his communication.
5.) 26 Feb 2025 15:33:12
EHL - thank you.
24 Feb 2025 23:05:52
Evening Lads,
Hope everyone is well.
Ive been dipping in and out reading from first thing this morning until just there as I was in Ireland for work so haven't been able to post.
But if you read the posts from when it was announced, it was all WTF/ shocking decision etc etc. But as the day's went on there's more posts which support the appointment. I think that once you process the decision, its not a bad appointment.
Listen, we weren't going to get a top manager in for 3 mths. We can't make wholesale changes with the takeover, so next best thing is a team who know the club and DEMAND high levels. I think its smart but time will tell.
I don't know Barry well but my only experience of him was when i drank in the pub i did on PRW. After a trophy win, he made sure the players went to see the fans in the pubs, and while the players were up on bars and signing etc, he used to sit in the corner of the bar with a pint, reading the paper. He didn't want the limelight.
I can only judge him on what I've seen.
They'll be a very proud Rangers family today.
Good luck Barry.
1.) 25 Feb 2025 00:12:33
Athole, I think it's a really good call mate but wouldn't have last night.
2.) 25 Feb 2025 00:52:24
I really don't understand the fans who are slating Ferguson before he's even in the door. What are they expecting at this point in the season?
3.) 25 Feb 2025 04:39:42
Totally with you athole ? very good post my friend ?????.
4.) 25 Feb 2025 08:28:28
Great post athole. I sit in the let's wait and see corner as we needed someone with passion to turn this around temporarily and they deifinitely will have that.
22 Feb 2025 23:52:02
These spineless cowards will continue to get manager after manager sacked.
The jersey is too heavy on them.
Of course you can't empty out a team of players and PC will carry the can and be relieved of his duties. I think its a matter of time.
It sticks in the throat though.
1.) 23 Feb 2025 08:13:37
I agree athole. I think the whole team need to look at themselves and tbh I can see any manager coming in and getting a tune out of them; possibly a new manager bounce but that will go. there is always talk of the captain and that is right at times but Rangers teams in the past had 5-6 'captains' on the pitch who didn't need an armband to lead.
2.) 23 Feb 2025 08:56:51
Angus PC is not the man to take us forward and I agree the players have to take responsibility as well but the buck stops with the manager we have no tactics no style nothing.
3.) 23 Feb 2025 09:37:35
Storm you are right the buck does stop there but if you think any of those players gave even one ounce of effort for the team/ fans or anyone then I am surprised. If we are saying the manager has lost then do you have confidence that they will not do exactly the same next time when they don't like the managers ways. Several have been talking about a culture in the club and yesterday showed me that this must exist and need stop be gotten rid of asap.
20 Apr 2025 10:44:52
TheBells - Craig Houston as CEO ???
I like the work Craig is doing but CEO of the club based on what?
16 Apr 2025 11:11:37
Great post WH. Thank you.
14 Apr 2025 19:05:34
Sorry john.
Didnt have my glasses on when i read your post. Hence the mis-read.
14 Apr 2025 15:02:01
John - i'd agree strongest team on 4/5. Continuity, fitness, match sharpness etc.
Injuries are just a risk we have to take. As many injuries happen in training vs matches.
04 Apr 2025 08:04:09
Those that think Dio is worth 17.5m, let's play devils advocate and test that theory.
If we were linked woth Dio and the price was 17.5m, would you be happy to pay that? (lets assume we had that cash) .
BTW - I like him and think he's a good player and if we can get that for him, take it and run.
17 Apr 2025 16:06:35
Pick6 - perfectly summed up.
16 Apr 2025 22:00:58
Three Cheers - just to clarify, you were running aboot ibrox with YOUR boaby oot or with Bobby Williamson. you never know woth you. ??.
15 Apr 2025 15:48:45
Unbelievable how many years have passed SS.
Remember sitting in my wee auntie's house as a young teenager watching it unfold on Grandstand if I'm not getting the prog wrong.
Sad.
11 Apr 2025 15:16:14
Foreverrangers - NOT understandable. We're out of the league BECAUSE those spineless players don't fancy the battle they face in the league!
30 Mar 2025 11:35:09
Im calling it.
GoJack = Coldo ?.
