I remember the first time I heard "the famine song" at Easter Road (it may well have been the first time it was aired anywhere, I'm sure it was a Sunday game).

I am an Edinburgh-born Scottish protestant (in the loosest possible way, I've never been to church other than weddings and funerals) and both my granddads were Rangers fans.

There was a certain irony that there will have been an element amongst their fans who will have woken up at the crack of dawn, got the boat over from Northern Ireland and come to Easter Road to sing "why don't you go home" to me, within a mile or so of both my flat and my birthplace.

Brought to mind the irony of an occasion many years ago when I went to Love Street to see George Best play for us against St Mirren. We were involved in a bit of a discussion with a hun in the Wee Howf bar before the game, he had the Guy in a wig on a prancing pony tattoo and 1690 underneath it.

It started going wrong when he insisted that George was a "papist barsteward" and as part of the wider debate was adamant that the battle of the Boyne was fought in Holland and it saved Scotland from being ruled by catholics. As they say, if you know your history.

They're a parody of themselves. Who needs satire?

Personally I'm all for moderated liberalism with a live and let live culture. I have no time for bigots yet in Scotland bigoted bile is allowed to be heard being belted out every other week from mostly the rangers fans. I cannot for the life of me understand how on earth the sfa and/or politicians do not take action to stamp out such hatred. It absolutely baffles me how it is quietly tolerated by the authorities.

They're not going to come down hard on themselves are they. Rotten to the core.

Looks like the word has gone out to the press to try force him to walk away. He won't survive back pages like that for long. The board know they can't sell season tickets with him still in charge. They need him out but can't afford a pay off.

Level 5 knives out for Warby. I think it was inevitable once we showed the world his magic hat was akin to the fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson the Emperor's New Clothes. It just took the knuckledragging huns a bit longer to realise he had no magic hat. In saying that they sent him out to challenge Sellick in absence of the promised £30 million warchest by the board to the gullibillies so he had no magic wand either. The board have now issued Level 5 to get rid of Warby and his Emperor's new clothes before the gullibillies storm the building in search of the board who duped them.

Brilliant if he ended up there but unfortunately Mrs B is apparently not keen on their "traditions" or the way they choose to display them

Aye that's true and wont happen but in a weird way it would give me some closure on the whole time that man was with us.

Shame as there are a number of similarities between him and the soon to be unemployed warbler.

I'm in that group too. I think we're the treacherous, turncoat b******s that they hate the most.

Bafflement and indifference on our part winds them up more than the outright hatred they get from the other side, which is a language they understand and can relate to.

I met a Rangers fan in Aldershot when I lived there. The look of disbelief when I said I wasn't a Catholic stopped him dead. He literally stood with his mouth open and just looked at me in amazement.

Eventually he said "but how can you support Hibs?"

He genuinely had trouble understanding. Never really spoke to me again, which was no great loss to be fair....

Also met a guy at a wedding a few years ago, when I mentioned going to the Weege to see football he said "To see the Glasgow Rangers I presume?" and when I said I supported hibs, the look of disgust on his face was comical. Went quiet for 10 minutes then started telling me (crap) jokes about the Pope.

I said I wasn't a Catholic and he just stared at me. That was the end of all conversation that night.

They just equate football with religion as a way of life, I really dont understand it myself...

I once turned up at a contract tendering meeting in Glasgow - quite a few people there and before it all started I bumped into a guy I'd met before who was a hun. He openly said to his colleague that we'd be no threat as we were just "hibbies up against the big boys".

Quite a few baffled looks since I was actually working self employed for the people who he had been invited to tender to! He wasn't successful and sat through a very uncomfortable process, especially when question time arrived

Bellicose bellends.

I reckon MW will be desperately searching for the 'invisibility' function on his 'magic hat'.

That's a great story. Hope you gave him a roasting. Love it 😅

Of course, I tried to remain as professional about it as he was. Still bumped into him from time to time up until a couple of years ago.

Frank MParland apparently close to quitting TheRangers due to frustrations with budget constraints according to the Sun.

The BDO action on Duff and Phelps for gratuitous alienation of assets could be the final coffin nail if the claim succeeds. Will put another material uncertainty in the Sevco accounts, and cause any party considering soft loans to rethink. Could be the whole lot goes under the hammer and the proceeds given to BDO. Who would think a 5m deal that quickly raised 22m via an IPO and was valued at 60m in the first set of accounts had any whiff about it. Sevco looks a doomed enterprise to me. The autopsy will reveal multiple causes of death.

Can't see that the BDO action will have any effect on the Rangers accounts, or their financial situation.

The claim is against D&P. If it succeeds, it will probably be met by their PII.

I doubt it will have any consequences for new Rangers.
