Not quite the same standard are they?? :faf::faf:

For those not fans of DR online, basically the space cadets at the top at Rangers have decided that to placate the frothing masses, a commissioned (and I expect not cheap) oil painting called "The New Pioneers" (honestly, Christopher Columbus et al have nowt on these Brave Huns) to celebrate their 3rd Division title is worthy of a place in their Archibald Leitch designed - and pretty famous - staircase in Ibrox's main stand.

This has caused a certain degree of restlessness amongst the natives as you might expect........

That painting is an absolute monstrosity!

'Simple misunderstanding which has now been rectified' indeed.

Aunt Sally on £62,500 per week, jeez, my gardener is only £15 a month... bargain. What about McDowell? Let's not forget him too. He must be another 20k per week if not more.

Classless and clueless, hopefully they will have painted a definite dividing line for paintings after the previous club became defunct, quite a gulf in terms of achievements worth celebrating before and after as well.

I do like the way they have managed to capture McCullochs' elbows on a sharp point even if they are pointing downwards for a change.

No chance he was on that much. Sure it was 800,000 a year or so.

Your right - probably intentional too, given the equal managerial success of both men. :wink:

Did they get a 5 year old to paint this, it's terrible! Maybe they couldn't find a canvas wide enough to fit Fat Ally onto in proper perspective?
