It was theoretically possible someone could have bid for Rangers today but it was always more likely that interim-managers, Duff and Phelps, would get offers that were dependent on a remarkably positive upside.
Sure, if HRMC get their bums handed to them on a plate by the First Tier Tribunal (FTT), Craig Whyte decides to tear up his security on Ibrox and Ticketus forget where they put the contract of sale for the next three years season tickets, even I’d bid for them. Not much, though, I’m only interested in Waitrose Park out at Milngavie.
There is nothing Duff and Phelps can do about the FTT but wait for the verdict. It might report in their favour. If so, it’s game on and they will surely invite offers for sale again, until then, they will have to shuffle paper and look busy.
No one has been able to shift Craig Whyte’s security or offered to buy Ibrox from him, so he is the only real bidder for Rangers and I don’t think he even bid today. Our old friend Game Theory would have us busy planning for a scenario when he exercises his power in this game. Ostracising him might encourage him to walk away, or it might force him to dig his heels in.
Game Theory would also suggest we don’t play poker when we know the other guy has four aces, they don’t often walk away.
Pay the man or find a way of telling yourself he’s not that bad after all.

When did they last lose 4 consecutive games at Ibrox?
Is Sally the worst ever Rankers manager? – discuss
Off to wash the car. Enjoy your day.
jobo
fat sally tactical genius does it again…………..nice wee rendition of god save the queen at the end……..they dont do irony or walking away.
they dont like it up ’em you know!
happy st pats………..now for the english.
McCall will have Motherwell playing like demons to avoid us taking the title at their place. C’mon the Dons!
The big house must stay open for The House Party.
McCall will have his team extra fired up for next two games now
” GSTQ “? How thick ARE they?! Even with all the revelations about that heap of filth,they still cling to their fascistic sense of ‘entitlement’.
Enough to make ye boak…
YivWhit,
No idea if it’s true but I read that they’ve never lost four in a row at home.
Be nice for them to go out with a bang then.
Been through in Edinburgh with the wee yins and walk in the door to hear United could only score twice against that rotten mob!!
Slightly disappointed to be honest :-)

Mibbees it was the DU fans expressing their appreciation for HMRC..?
Dreadful game. Great result.
Who hiljacked the DU team? They were unrecognisable and one would think that there was a tacit agreement that we are not to be allowed to take the title next week.
If it was boxing, the ref would have stopped it.
If it was horse racing, there would be a steward’s inquiry.
Huns, thuggish, ten men behind the ba’ first half.
Why did they not start with Pay2Play Sone boy?
yes he will yivwit. mullett nugget..

Following upon my comments thus morning re the media spinning of Sally
I wonder if they will consider his position further enhanced after another league defeat .. His third in a month or thereby
Huns are an appalling team and institution led at present by an inept manager who in any other country would be pilloried for his abysmal results
Long live Sally as Hun manager
Sally is the worst manager of the worst team from the worst club in the world.
AND…he’s proud of it!
A bunch of thugs. I backed Dundee Utd–17/10. Bookies taking no chances. Lenny better talk to the SFA if that is what that shower can get away with. Liscense to kick, injure and maul. A disgrace to football. McCullough?—I’m an old guy now but I know a coward when I see one. Play these barstewards off the park. I think they’ll park the bus and try to injure as many Celtic players as they can. I would be asking for a EUFA observer.
Why did Houston take his 2 best players off with 5mins to go? Strange one. Then ref kicks the ball over to have the corner taken quickly. Strange 2
Mon wee Craigy Broon!!!!!
Funny, sally dodged the flak so far!!! not for much longer i think. if we do them next week , he’ll get the blame, lets see the idol take it then.

DUnt scored 3, but were kind enough to score one of them for the Huns.
Don’t know how they managed to finish with 11 on the park.
Kicked everthing from start to finish!
Raw stuff from the Hun, the referee was a joke.
I tell you…we had better be wearing body armour at The Midden.
That lot are clinically psycopathic mad yins.
You know there must be something in this story that they would need to pay more money if Healy plays again. Unused sub when they need a goal and only four outfield subs?
Houston looks and sounds DISAPPOINTED at a historic win!!!?
WDH
I will do mate thank you.
Mon the aberdeen take some points off murderwell. Party at the big hoose is nearly with us!
Thanks for the updates.
kevinlasvegas,
WHEN we beat them next week it will be poor Sally battling manfully with one hand tied behind his back being forced to watch his depleted team in an unfair contest.
Still, he will go down in history as the huns’ last manager.
4 defeats in 6 for sally, must be a record for them.

Houston – the crowd was right behind them (Rangers).
What planet does he live on ?
I hope that Andy Walker or his wife has the courage to speak up. Rangers fans sank to new depths today yet other SPL managers defend them.
We URGENTLY need to get out of this cesspit.
Seville67
Houston talking about Rangers “young team” and United’s “young team”.
Strange – the age of our team rarely gets a mention.
lol. gordon j. he is an idol after all. he is cluless

Was the hun goal an og?
Gordon j
If that’s the case why put him in the bench?
This constant undeserved lauding of Mccoist us irritating the heck out of me. Just what has he done to merit anything other than negative comment .
His team performances have be awful and his own performance even worse
Risible
Chic’s story – apparently a takeover bid for St Mirrenfrom a Paisley businessman came through the then Rangers company secretary!
Great result pary on down to Ibrox next week.
Prefer to win it at Celtic Park but with rangers U15’s still to go to Fir Park before we play St Johnstone it was never going to happen.
Still can’t bring myself to contribute £42 to the Save the Gers fund so will just need to console myself with the vision of our Lenny doing an Irish jig across the turf of Ibrox when he conquers next Sunday.
