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.

Thanks mate much appreciated HH
Re Barry Ferguson’s article, which is a sign of the growing awakening by the supporters of his old club.
The breaking of trust did not begin 3 years ago. It began as soon as the men running Rangers decided to keep side letters hidden from the SFA.
You see the system in governance in place has been basically one of trust.
The SFA ask certain questions, certain boxes get ticked to suit the answer given because the answer is believed. No real digging and why should there be? It was just a sport after all and sport depends totally on trust.
It would be madness to break it surely?
Not when the potential rewards for doing so seem to exceed the costs of being caught. Not when the commercial aspect totally overwhelms sporting integrity.
So the question is have the game’s governors realised yet that answers by clubs cannot be taken at face value? Are the processes in place really robust and resilient enough to deal with the commercial world in which the game now operates?
That seems to be the stance of the SFA and UEFA in response to the 2011 UEFA licence issue but yet rules designed to protect the taxpayer clearly failed as they were applied. Otherwise there would be no questions to answer, no resolutions seeking answers.
No the men running Rangers did far more than break trust with their support, they broke trust in the game and it would be more than comforting to hear those in charge of governing to look at where their processes failed and what they are doing to fix those processes so that there is no repeat. Not tell us all is/ was well when it manifestly is not.
BILEL MOHSNI, had two decisions when was growing up, be a Gangsta, or a Football Player, so he became a Football Player, and signed up to play for Gangstas. ;)

A fantastic effort and total re fund raising in memory of St John Doyle.

Headline in the Evening Times
“Gers rivals sign ex-Ibrox youth”
What? Who have the ‘tic signed up? That was my immediate thought!
Then I remembered they aren’t our ‘rivals’, we have never played them.
I read the story and it became clear
“Rangers League One rivals East Fife have snapped up former Ibrox and Motherwell midfielder Stephen Hughes.”
There’s something about the start of that sentence that brings a large smile to my face!
new article posted.
I have a niece who works in a London Publishing House. This morning is a grey wet miserable day here. Tried to play Golf gave up after 4 holes arrived home wondering how to put down the day and found a bulky item in the post from said niece. Opened it to find a copy of Faithful Through and Through by Richard Purden. Day’s activities sorted as a kind of thank you to her, thought I’d give the book a plug.
Description for Faithful Through and Through
Following on from We Are Celtic Supporters, Richard Purden tackles a variety of subjects in his second book Faithful Through and Through. Here he takes a fresh look at the people who have added to the wider culture, reputation and traditions on and off the park which have strengthened Celtic’s position as a much valued institution. Purden talks to a selection of supporters, ex-players, managers and public figures, while travelling to a number of historical locations. While visiting the club’s ancestral home in Ireland he discusses Celtic in the context of faith, politics and identity. The author channels the voices of secret millionaires, Irish troubadours, Scottish politicians and the club’s most popular icons who take you on a Celtic odyssey in a continuing story that underlines why this team from Glasgow’s East End personify a way of life that represents unwavering hope and positive life-affirming values around the world.

Apologies for no selection in your tipping competition last Saturday.
Close family funeral obviously put such things out of my mind.
Tomorrow I head for Donegal, so again I will not be around to select.
Maybe yourself or any of the other participants would put me down for OLYMPIC GLORY in the 3.30 Ascot to avoid missing out again.
I still have not found a winner. Maybe the answer is to make my selections 3 days early. :¬))
