The frustration at the news Derk Boerrigter is injured, again, and will miss another important Champions League game, is enormous. Derk was a big part of our summer signing strategy but he came with a caveat concerning his propensity to suffer injury.
We have seen only flashes of him since he joined from Ajax in the summer. His opportunities to exploit his undoubted speed in SPFL games will be limited by opponents tendency to defend deep, denying him space to run into, making Champions League games all the more important to his season.
Our other pace player, James Forrest, will surely come into sharp focus for the visit of Ajax on Tuesday.
I see Alasdair Johnston is expressing concern that Our Hero is still pulling the strings at Ibrox! I never thought of that!
Let’s see…. He is a director of Sevco 5088 Ltd, the firm which had an irrevocable right to buy the assets of liquidated Rangers, he issued a pre-action letter to exercise those rights, there was in independent ‘inquiry’ which completely failed to investigate control of Sevco 5088 Ltd, then he went quiet. Why are we always a day behind the news?
Does that mean he got bored and went away, or is he conducting his business in private? I am sure it’s the latter but Craig Whyte is the least of Johnston’s concerns when it comes to who is able to pull strings at Ibrox. All the action is offstage.
Speaking about what is happening offstage, whenever Rangers International’s advisers confirm how the company can appoint sufficient executives to be compliant with AIM requirements, they will need a new chief executive.
Going by recent (and not so recent) trends they will need someone with their snout constantly in the trough, with impeccable Rangers credentials, with their snout constantly in the trough, who is currently available for work, with their snout constantly in the trough, who has previously worked in the game and with their snout constantly in the trough.
If only they could find another genuine fan who would be prepared to do whatever necessary in return for a remarkable contract. Can’t think of anyone.
Wait a minute………
Thanks to everyone who participated in Show Your Hand yesterday.

What is the nature of Derk’s latest injury?
I for one am prepared to be patient in the hope that he will show us why he was considered one of Dutch football’s brightest young hopefuls.
You always take a chance with signings that have a bit of injury history.
Look at big John Hartson. The huns dropped their interest in him because they thought his knees were shot. The rest is history.
An Dun, of course you make a valid point about censorship. Regards to Bobby M. Good night CQN.

Have the sodjers set a precedent then
Can your occupation mean you can’t offend through song?
Wonder if Salmon, Sturgeon or the other one will comment on this.
Salmon and Sturgeon? there’s something fishy about that pair.

For cods sake, maybe they didn’t hear the sodjurs as their hard of herring?

Admittedly it’s been a slow news evening, but still…..
Jobo, well done to them.
They play a very good standard of football, Miss Doc played their under fifteen team last year, a real step up for the girls in her team.

My apologies to anyone offended. I wasn’t making any allegations against anyone involved in this sad story.
I was merely trying to highlight the potential for links to secret organisations in our daily lives. ( a matter that has been discussed on here regulary)
I won’t mention it again.

What next?
16 Roads
Aye, indeed they are.
‘minds me of the time Herbo threw a nail bomb at the brits outside the Henry Taggart and his dog,Rebel ran after it and run back towards the rioters,such a scramble for safety!
Rebel got a military funeral by the way

Mad mate.
I remember watching an episode of Cops once,there was a full moon at the start of the show…the policeman stated that crime increases during a full moon,also accident & emergency units at hospitals are far busier.
It would seem that human being lose their minds as well.
Don’t go out tonight,as they say in the song.

A wouldnt say the summer signings are a waste of money, try given them a bit of time maybe half a season at least, big victor hardly set the world on fire to begin with and he turned out alright HH
MurdochAuldandHay, as Paul67 alluded to in the article, never saw that one coming!
A cabal.
Longmuir was due to be announced at sevco this morning but there was a contractual hitch as they couldn’t agree what his severance pay will be when he walks away next month
Longmuir will be relieved to be throwing off the cloak of pretend impartiality……….
was never much of a cloak anyway.

Ah mate,such a classic! Before my time,read it in the book though.So funny.
Ya couldn’t make this place up.
Thank God it’s green & white. :)
Che, he’ll be getting Tuped over to New Newco:-)
The The Rangers, or Third Rangers(my fav. Name for the next incarnation)
Doc
Is he still under investigation along with uncle fester?
just seen the weather forecast for Saturday, looks like we’ll need a canoe to go down Easter Rd.
Houl yer wheest.
Have you still got those Ajax tickets,if yes, I’m interested.
Che, of course not, he took over the investigation himself, no case to answer.
Usual sort of investigation all over the world isn’t it, or is that only in Scotland?

That’s no so bad. It’s paddlin’ back up that hill that’s the problem!
Maybe he’ll want his scarf back off those 4 Brits from the other week
che (standing beside wee oscar),
If longmuir has any nonce, he will ask to be paid six months in advance..
Che, he’ll get a free one with the job, a nice wee Loyal and True number, Keep Ulster Irish, or something!
First job he has to take care of will be the tax returns!
They wouldn’t do that, not again, would they?
Will BDO get paid in Rans……..if they ever actually do anything,…….beyond scandalous
Just another patsy
Whereas pep mcmoist wants another pastie
Thought it took a board of 4 to appoint another board member, or CEO
