I recently saw a utube clip of the Asian rAngers fan known as Abdul.
He himself gets abuse from some other zombies.
But he didnt help himself when he joined in with them singing ....i would rather be a p*k*,than a tim.
They just laughed at him and told him, in not polite terms,where to go.

I am 70 this week and all my adult life i have seen this institution ignore calls for real change.
They thrive on their bigotry .They even sell the bigotry in the form of colourful merchandise
They and their followers have such an awful grip on some towns and communities in Scotland with orange halls/rangers clubs dominating places
The rest of us see it every July/August
And end up paying for the clean up. Remember George Square last year .Disgrace

I hoped our new Parliament in time would have got to grips with these hateful parades every Summer
But they are to feart ,Churches calling them out would be futile .
They aint religious .Just anti Catholic and anti any number of ethnic minorities .(
Except the ones on the park wearing blue !!)

No one likes us ,we dont care .....as the song goes.

Sad reaction for the guy who should be able to go about his daily routine without prejudice. I am a little surprised he has taken so much to the rangers, given their record of prejudice against one section of society. Their behaviour may not be as deep rooted generally in society but definitely sectarian and hard to argue it’s not racist. No surprise this poor man has experienced awful racism there. Very glad he left unscathed as it sounds like he was less than welcome in the bar he went to. Just awful in society.

Notice they have issued 4 million new shares at 25p each. Their funding gap was £7m but they have received £12m for Patterson and £4m compensation for SG and his staff. Is there still issues at that club?

Is this new money, or conversion of loans to shares?

I suspect that they had budgeted for the Patterson money in the £7m figure, but not the Gerrard money.

Not sure Crops but expect it to be loan to shares.
Still think they have financial issues, time will tell though.

[Smartie]

I've heard that they owe Mike Ashley a settlement of £11m - which might influence things (if true).

Ah ha the plot thickens. If true they are almost back to square one. I believe since Newco they have made losses of £100m. They need the automatic Champions league place then.

Happy birthday!

[weecounty hibby]

Spoke to a couple of huns about this and even they are getting a bit nervous about all of this. They were asking how they can be a going concern but continually offer share issues to raise cash. I pray to every God that has ever existed that the stain on civilised Scottish society that is rangers goes pop again. The unfortunate thing is there does seek to be a never ending supply of gullible bigots who are prepared to chuck money away on worthless shares/loans

Agree with almost every word. Except the bit about going pop “again”
This is a new entity modelled entirely on the previous club that was Rangers but with added vigour towards bigotry. If they go pop it will be for the first time. Otherwise very well made points. 👍🏻

Surprised there has not been much comment on this about the civil war simmering over at Ibrox between the Board and the fans.
Note today the board has back tracked and pulled out of the trip to Australia.

Yes, they may have breached a contract.
Newco are saying the organisers have.
Its them wanting the game to be named "Old Firm" and to keep pretending they were formed in the 19th century.
Celtic are branding it as "Ange's Homecoming" and i think "Glasgow Derby"(not old firm)
Zombies are ragin ,so.... "we're no playin"

No, it's been said elsewhere that there is a penalty clause for withdrawing.

[O'Rourke3]

No, it's been said elsewhere that there is a penalty clause for withdrawing.The Rangers thought the penalty clause was the one that operates here which is, "The Rangers will receive a free kick from the penalty spot regardless of whether there is a legitimate offence at the time of the award."
The fact the board backed down means they need the Union Bears more than the UB need them...

What wasn’t a good look was even thinking about playing a friendly Derby match in Australia. I’d like to think we would react in a similar way if the Edinburgh Derby was going to be designated as a friendly and played in a country which meant most ordinary fans would have no chance of attending.
I hate to give them credit but well done to the Rangers fans for running a successful campaign to get the game down under called off.

[neil7908]

I just love the statement - classic Sevco. Withdrawal is nothing to do with fan discontent of course! Surely if they have signed the contract for the friendly it should be clear what each side commits to, and any dispute could be raised in court?

I suppose one way of looking at an Edinburgh Derby friendly being played overseas would be that the target audience isn’t aimed at us. Just an opportunity to bring the fixture to expats and an overseas audience who wouldn’t normally have the chance to see such a game.

The Old Firm is such a toxic brand the project was doomed from the start.

Most ordinary fans,when their team do friendlies abroad or pre season tours closer to home in Europe could not afford to follow them.

The Celtic v sevco game in Oz would fill theiir biggest grounds.
Scots Expats,and Irish/English from throughout Australia would want to see that.
A few years ago Liverpool played in Melbourne ....95.000 attended


Security would maybe be an issue though !

[Since90+2]

Rangers cancelled because they simply couldn't take being the B side to Celtic in Australia, which they very much would have been.

There is merit in that argument and I agree about friendly match. But how about being more radical and taking some of our more attractive league games abroad?

If we want to showcase to a broader audience and benefit the club by x millions for one match, then why not. If 80 to 100k people wanted to attend in somewhere like New York or Melbourne, carefully planned, it might work.

There are enough ex-pats in these places to generate interest and a properly done beamback would be an option, as well as tv at home and in the pub. Maybe even justify a number of fans on a charter put on by the club??
I know it’s April fools day but something like this shouldn’t be dismissed all together I feel

I’ve never been to an Old Firm game and despise them both, but if I was an expat in Australia I’d probably go to the game for the novelty factor.

Union Bears starting to have control/influence over the board much like you see in places like Italy. Not quite at the level of say Lazio ultras threatening all and sundry after a derby defeat but you can see there is an uneasy relationship (from the boards point of view) starting to take shape.
I'm sure Lawell didn't pander to the green brigade and was quite confrontational with them at times (I may be imaging things) but they don't seem to be as dominant a force within Celtic as the UB seem to be at Ibrox.

Have Rangers been charged for the ball throwing incident at Dens Park?

It won't be the SFA, as there is no strict liability in Scotland.

Will gather a bit of momentum, some Old Firm whataboutery about treatment of away fans while completely ignoring the exact same issues faced by non Old Firm fans every other week in their stadiums.

It’s all about them and the rest of us are mere bit players who just have to suck it up and be grateful for their existence.

A good journalist can accelerate the debate on the treatment in general of away fans in Glasgow, particularly at Ibrox where sectarianism, racism and bigotry is aired on a weekly basis, along with dangerous missile throwing from hight, but then it only becomes an issue when it involves one or the other of them. Sadly the media interest won’t expand beyond that either.

[gbhibby]

Harsh, and a futile exercise. There is not a chance of the media reporting a story that a few Hibs fans were hit by missiles at Ibrox or Celtic park. MSM have zero self-awareness. They cannot see past the Glasgow twins and the double standards. For The Rangers to issue a statement about a few of their fans being targeted is frankly as pathetic as it is laughable.

The common link between every major disturbance at football in Scotland (and abroad when they play in Europe) is ... The Rangers Football Club 2012.

I don't think it's harsh. Dempster continually crapped out of calling out the Huns.
If she had, it would have been reported, if only for the backlash from the Huns.

I think the one certainty that would come from calling out the Huns is that it would end up being the Hibs that would feel the backlash. It’s pointless whingeing about it, I know it’s not right but what is when it comes to the dastardly duo?

But what did Police Scotland actually do and did they have a remit/instructions to do anything other than contain thousands of orange and blue clad followers of a club?
Marching in their thousands to City Centre ignoring covid rules

A new club who won a first league title just a few years after they were formed and their followers wrecked George Square and other parts of the City in "celebration"
Glasgow council taxpayer still footing that costs of that mayhem and destruction.
Newco should have paid for the untold needless wreckless,damage and disruption to the peaceful citizens of Glasgow and their was plenty of that over those days.

If sevco get to Seville,i trust our PC Pod and Glasgow City Council will be warning their counterparts in Seville of the incoming uncontrolable sunami of madness, aka no one likes us we dont care,and mayhem
Sorry for any Hi-Bees and others who may have booked hoidays in the region around same times
These hordes will flood the resorts in their thousands

The west coast media don't care even if we made a statement.What gets me is that clubs high and mighty attitude when it happens to their fans. Their fans cause more trouble than any club. Look at their so called celebrations when they won the league. We have had to tolerate this thuggish behaviour from them and Celtic fans for as long as I have been watching Hibs which amounts to 56 years. Its a sad indictment on both these clubs that they still have scu# that behave like that.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found the club colluded with retailers JD Sports and Elite Sports to keep prices of replica kits high from September 2018 to at least July 2019.

The CMA said the three parties could expect heavy fines if found guilty.

Rangers said they would review the provisional findings before submitting a response.

The UK competition watchdog found that Rangers were involved in the alleged collusion, but only to the extent of fixing the price of adult replica short-sleeved home shirts."

Nothing surprises me with that lot.

Haven't seen anything lately about the cinch debacle, nothing since they covered up their name/logo with tape. If there was any reduction in their sponsorship money then I hope it all came out of Rangers' share.

Pathetic from the BBC, utterly pathetic.

[Sergio sledge]

They've hung Chris McLaughlin out to dry on this one, it would be interesting to see what specific aspects of his reporting the BBC considered did not meet their editorial standards and why they think it didn't meet their standards.

No specific apology or reference to specific articles/reports makes me think that they're just doing this to appease Sevco and their fans and get back into Ibrox as they think it was harming their coverage.

I'd hazard a guess that Chris McLaughlin still won't be welcome to report from there and it'll be other reporters doing all the work.

It wasn't settled because the Beeb decided to stand by their employee and refused to let the Huns decide who could cover their games at ibrox. It certainly looks like they've chucked their employee under the big loyalist hun bus this time, hence the end of hostilities. The Beeb is going to need all the loyal unionists on side over the next year or so as they ramp up the propaganda, this is the reason this has happened now.

Dispicable decision by the BBC. I wonder if the SFA and SPFL have put pressure on the BBC to stop victimising their beloved Sevco. To apologise so long after the original incident suggests some sort of collusion or pressure.

[Smartie]

Not sure I'd be in a rush to go and work for the BBC.

The way they stand by their journalists really leaves something to be desired.

There's something absolutely ****ing rancid about Scotland when you see what happens to the likes of Jim Spence, Chris McLaughlin and Graham Spiers for either reporting facts or holding a slightly different opinion to the one that one of Scotland's most dubious institutions would like them to hold.

This, 100%.

[Carheenlea]

The BBC are effectively condoning sectarian chanting at Ibrox by not continuing to fight the corner of their employee who’s reporting accurately described events at Ibrox at the time. To suggest this didn’t meet editorial standards makes a mockery of any genuine attempts to call out sectarianism and bigotry in Scotland.

Ultimately it wasn’t really much of a boycott as it’s not as if we didn’t hear enough Rangers content from the BBC on a daily basis on Sportsound. If they didn’t actually tell us they were boycotting Ibrox how would we have known?

Huns post a profit. Is it just me or is £5.9m profit (to year end June 22) for a season that they sold a player for £12mil and reached the 2nd tier European final, seem a little small to you? Vast improvement on the £23.5mil lose from last season. Their turnover is up, probably due to their Euro adventures but doing a back of a fag packet calculation, take away Patterson's (12m) sale and the Euro final (est €10-12m so £9-10mil), they would still be taking a loss of around £18mil. Are the huns only sustainable if they sell players circa £10mil each year and get Euro football to the tune of around £10mil per season, is that a good business model?

Yeah I suppose, just sticks in the craw a bit. Their demise lead to 120mil in loses and they are still competing and spending more than everyone bar celtc.

It remains to be seen how engaged the "hordes" will remain if they're a distant second best to Celtic over a sustained period of time, and they appear to have a pretty high bar for breaking even. As has been pointed out, to make a profit of "only" 5 and a bit million when they've had a lot go their way poses more than a few questions.

They hardly spent a thing in the last transfer window compared to what they've done in the past. I imagine that will remain the case moving forward as they are in the FFP sights of UEFA.

That is one part of it but if they're relying on selling players each year to break even, restricting what you spend makes that all the more difficult, which is nice, the harder they have to struggle to exist the better! :greengrin

That sounds very interesting although a bit far for me to attend. I think almost all fans of other clubs observed the goings-on with a huge amount of distaste and find it difficult, if not impossible, to be dispassionate; but as the chap is an academic he will probably produce some difficult conclusions for most of us.

One of these is if he tries to separate the club from the company as I'd always lumped the two together. Up until Murray put them on the market, the directors were, to my knowledge, all Rangers supporters so inextricably linked to the club and after they were sold they were not, just 'suits' in to pillage the club as fast as possible. However, as we all know, the financial problems had started many years before when Murray was looking for ways to pay for his excessive spending to try and keep up with Celtc.

I look forward to hearing what Mr. Howieson says but I hope he confirms many of our suspicions.

No, it says an operating profit of just under £5.9m which is the profit before one-off costs (the note suggests that’s legal costs), finance costs (so interest etc.) and tax. Taking those three things into account, the loss after tax, one-off costs and finance costs is just under £1m.

Possibly included the share capital and share premium, which is a nonsense way to look at things. I still can't get those numbers to work either.

[CropleyWasGod]

To answer the earlier questions about profit/loss,they have included the £11m (?) from Everton for Patterson when arriving at the headline profit.

After the season end , they also sold Aribo and Bassey.

I haven't looked at the accounts in detail, but what I have seen suggests that they need to sell to keep afloat.....

EXCLUSIVE: A sheriff who owned shares in Rangers FC is to retire after it emerged that he colluded with a senior police officer before submitting a dishonest and misleading report during the botched police investigation into the takeover of the Ibrox ...

Will be interesting to see how the MSM covers this. Deafening silence from the Sevco acolytes most likely.

So Hun sherriff falsifies warrants so that Hun cop can try to fit up Duff & Phelps because they're both beelin about what happened to the Old Huns. This costs the taxpayer a multi-million pound settlement.

But Scotland's most senior judge personally intervenes so no action is taken and the sherriff can just quietly retire? :confused:

And folk still insist the game in Scotland is not corrupt, the law is corrupt, and some of those in charge of the football are either frightened to do or say anything, and the rest just plain corrupt.

And we are all daft enough to still follow the bloody game knowing this. :crazy:

Every team in Scotland needs to isolate the rangers to remove them from Scottish football. This is the tip of the iceberg in regards to the level of corruption that surrounds them.

Not sure it's that much of a story.

In cash terms, at best it's £1.93m. Not a lot in today's game.

However, I suspect it's (at least in part) another debt-for-equity swap. That way, FFP is kept at bay for now.

I'm not up to date on all of this but I believe the FSR has superseded the old FFP and my understanding is that clubs are meant to live within their football income and share issues like this aren't included. This smacks of an emergency cash injection to me. They are on the FSR watchlist and I personally think Park is getting out while he can. We'll see, maybe I'm completely wrong (hopefully completely correct) but I just don't believe anything those tramps say and I also believe their must be a damn good reason for Park giving up his throne.

I expect them to be pretty good, given the money from player sales. If they're not, then....:cb

Whilst losing a manager in that way is costly and undesirable, I'd expect that it would probably be less significant for a club with Sevco's income and expenditure than it would for the likes of Hibs.

I expect they've probably borrowed a shedload on their "way up" on the promise that those who lent would be paid back when they're winning the league, getting to the finals of European competitions etc, only for them to want to spend the money they've earned via those routes on better players instead of paying their due moneys. That leads to a position where you have more going out than coming in (again) and shortfalls in cash that can be plugged in creative ways that only certain clubs ever seem to be willing / able to do.

The bit that I don't get is why people who were clever and astute enough to become super wealthy are then prepared to throw away good money chasing bad trying to keep that mob afloat. Seems to be that liking that mob activates the reckless button in their collective heads. As wildly reckless with money as Sevco have shown themselves to be, those super wealthy types aren't going to make vast fortunes from a football team in Scotland and they must know that from the start.

[Smartie]

Should they not be relatively cash rich at this stage of the season though? Going by those accounts, the money coming through the turnstiles is still a huge proportion of their income - and much of that will be via season tickets, a high proportion of which they’ll have already received the cash for.

If they’re needing to raise cash in this way at this stage then surely that’s concerning for them?

In that they’re surely only another early European exit away from being in big trouble? (They’ve raised a good few quid via some very respectable European performances under Gerrard and GVB).

Obviously I'm not in the know but everything about this smacks of them being in financial **** street. The fact that Ross Wilson and the Supreme Leader Douglas Park both bolted within a week does (I hope) mean that they know what's coming down the pike. Hopefully they are again in breach of the FSR and are close to being banned from Europe. Hell mend them, I hope they go bust. Again.

Pretty much. They're follow following the same gamblers strategy Whyte etc tried. They also lack assets to sell and the ones they do have are either too old or out of contract soon. None of this matters to the bigoted press though. Ra Ranjurs have a right to avoid Fiscal fair play all in the name of keeping the sectarian gravy train running. They're like Hearts more obsessed with the opposition rather than their own club. If they had built the newco back up with youth and accepted Celtic are a bigger and better run football club then they might have been in a position to put in a longer term challenge by now/Instead they gave Stevie G(friend of the Kinahans) carte blanch to spend on utter pish. It was miraculous how he got a bunch of well in to their 30s footballers running around like Russians at the 2018 world cup.

Whatever I or anyone else think of them, he was probably the most sensible head in their boardroom and within a month they've lost their Chairman, managing director and DOF. They are bailing out before the **** really hits the fan IMHO. **** them and I hope they go bust.
