An apology to @RangersFC : despite what I was told from China, there was indeed a multi-million euro bid, indeed bids, from Beijing Renhe for striker Alfredo Morelos, with varying options for how it would have been structured. This retracts, and corrects my previous tweet.

An update from Kheredine.
They forgot to add the words "Just cut and paste that Kheredine. Thanks, Dave King" at the end.Quote:

What a farce! I suspect some agent is involved in the shenanigans here. Why would a Chinese club be offering euros to a Scottish club & what happened to the limit on foreign players? Well that's the MSM back in their box!Quote:

I suppose it's possible that they could still get a bid as I think the Chinese window is open for another month. Still reeks of lies from Fat Jim (I imagine)Quote:

Why apologies to Sevco at all? All sorts of stories have appeared linking McGinn to all sorts of clubs. We haven’t had a single apology?Quote:

Even allowing for the usual Celtc bias that's an excellent article. The Beeb should be ashamed.Quote:

I was speaking to a guy yesterday who lives in Glasgow. He goes to a bar that shows Scottish games live. He was there watching our 3-2 league win at Ibrox. The hatred towards Hibs and NL was much worse than any old firm game. Guy has no axe to grind as is a Dundee Utd fan (in Glasgow I know) and whose dad has always liked the Hibs. Anyone going just watch as the pure hate now is overwhelming and pretty pathetic.
We all need to have a little more sympathy for the average Hun. They've had 4 years to come to terms with the fact that Celtic are on a different level altogether and they just can't compete - maybe fluke 1 in 15 if they're lucky. Celtic are also heading towards 10 in a row which Sevco are powerless to stop. They are impotent.Quote:

The outpouring of bile and Sectarianism will be in full flow today as The Rangers and The Politicians and The Police have no intention of trying to do anything about it

I preface this by saying the guy I was chatting to, I met for the first time this weekend - he was a friend of my dad, who isn't a fan of The Rangers, or indeed any football team, so no axe to grind.
He was Danny Wilson's accountant before his relocation out to the USA. He spoke with Wilson shortly after the team returned to Scotland from Orlando. Wilson's contract was up at the end of the season, and had been told prior to going to Florida that he was integral in Murty's plans for the remainder of the season. He was trying to negotiate a new contract to allow him to keep playing at Ibrox - didn't want to any pay increase, didn't want any ludicrous perks etc to his contract, just an extension - his partner is due to give birth in 3 months, so he wanted to settle in Scotland and keep playing. He turned up to training one day to find out Rangers had agreed to the approach from Colorado without any consultation with him or his people. They had been offered some money for him (undisclosed) and were in 'real need' to accept the offer. The same 'need' was the reason they offloaded Pena and tried to offload Alves. The Morelos story was pure fabrication by a PR company hired by Rangers to drum up interest in the player.
Their accounts are horrific to read, and the last lot didn't include any of Pedro's signings etc - several of their creditors have also been pushing hard to try and get repayments back, and there's a growing concern about their longevity.
Not sure how much of this is 'new' information (as I don't follow this thread in daily detail), but I thought I'd pass it on! :greengrin
