Do you like our new lightweight template? There’s a lot less green and tons more whyte. Like it or not, the whyte template will be here for a wee while, so try to enjoy it.
Ticket arrangements for our game at Ibrox next month were always going to be tasty. With rumour that Rangers were heading for administration, Celtic refused to forward their rivals tickets for the game on 28 December on credit, demanding payment in advance. Rangers found the money after a failed appeal to the better nature of the Celtic board. This proved to be a wise move as only a few weeks later Rangers were in administration leaving a trail of unpaid debts to other clubs in their wake, but an awkward situation was likely to follow with Rangers (in administration) looking to reciprocate with payment terms.
Celtic are good for the credit, but if they pay for tickets, what’s the chance Rangers will survive long enough to fulfil the fixture?
None of us are in a position to tell, but Celtic cannot sell tickets to their own supporters in the chance that Rangers will not honour them. If Rangers are still in business, I expect a busy few days leading up to the fixture as cash and tickets are transferred.
And to think we’ve listened to all the ‘Old Firm conspiracy’ theories all these years….. didn’t turn out that way after all.
Really pleased to see STV picked up on our story of last week on the potential improper registration of players and managed to get an anonymous quote from the SFA suggesting “that if conclusive evidence can be produced, the Scottish FA could launch a wider investigation into the conduct of the club”.
“Could”! This story has now been reported by several mainstream media outlets. It looks like the SFA will have to be dragged into examining this by Uefa. Embarrassingly, they are likely to conclude an inquiry into Rangers next week without reference to the 10,000lb gorilla (as No Surrender Johnston would say) in the room.
There are now serious questions of corporate governance at the association, something the chief exec was keen to avoid. If the SFA do initiate an inquiry into the multiple contract allegation, they should start by asking some of the guys who have arrived at Ibrox from continental Europe. I hear Joachim Bjorklund, a decent defender who signed his only Rangers contract in 1996, is still working in the game.

You had me worried there, Paul!
Very stylish, and perhaps no-one will notice that it is I who am posting!
(Fiendish cackle!)
Not 600 hundred, I don’t have a pound key on my keyboard.
It’s still cheap is 600 a day
that charity money will just be resting in ranjurz’s(in administration) account
Joachim Bjorklund, the first of many…
You think him and Henrik were plotting back then?
Cheerio to 9-in-a-row
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

Just noticed my green name has disappeared. Can’t remember how I got it to be green in the first place.
Condolences and good luck to Daniel Majstorovic for the future. I hate it when our players go away on International duty.

Re. Big Dan
Haven’t read all posts but noticed several asking what happened.
According to Swedish tv – in the last minute of the final training session before match tomorrow he stretched for a ball, Svensson and Ibrahimovic collided and Svensson fell and landed on Dan’s leg. The manager, at first, didn’t think it could be too serious because “he didn’t make a sound and I know from experience how painful that injury is” (approx. translation from memory).
Talk about rotten luck! Still he sounds like a tough character who should get over it.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Alex
Good to have the blog back up.
I see SSN have given a breakdown of employees of the bust mob, payoffs soon I think.
Brilliant for Vanessa and her family that the target was reached and I hope her treatment goes well for her.
danny BIG BALLS

WOW!!!!
Can’t wait for season 5 :)
if it hadn’t been for the media CW will still be at ranjurz! wee dawell
Evening bhoys,good to be back,
does anyone know if the manky mob have to declare a donation
to charity for the legneds game,if not surely they cant describe it as
a charity match,would this be of interest to the charities commission?
shit happens says danny
Danny on Clyde batting them all over the place..get in there
BSR
I never thought of that :>)
Beeeeautiful…
I loike it !
Bhoys
Any thoughts that the liquidators are stretching this out
1, for the money (Elvis)
2, the longer it goes on the more difficult it is for Rangers (in admin) to avoid anything other than liquidation and our hero to be the stand up guy he is gets the everything to sell on or rent out
I can’t see anything else,
I actually managed to get some work done today!
But by God am I glad you’re back :-)
Donations to Vanessa’s appeal averaged £10,000 a day… Makes me proud to be a Tim and appreciate that I’m part of that family.

Thanks for that about Dan
the chaps have been talking for minutes straight now , has Danny been silenced ?
Hi all, first time post. Glad everything is ok with the site as I tried to log in today and thought something was wrong.
I also passed little orc ville today around 3.30 and there was indeed a considerable amount of press. When I passed they were focusing on a silver merc estate coming out and taking loads of photo’s more than the normal for one of the average players they have.
As regards to jabba and his bumboy outrageous the statement they wrote. PL should take them to task.
Last thing were any of you bhoys in babbity bowsers before the game at the weekend.
Keep the jelly and ice cream coming bhoys
