How thick are the Hun and the Daily ****** and when will they learn this is a new club?
When Third Division leaders Queen's Park visit Ibrox, it will resurrect world football's oldest rivalry - the Spiders having first played Rangers 137 years ago.
Full story: Daily Record
The last time Queen's Park beat Rangers, in the semi-finals of the Glasgow Merchants' Charities Cup in 1953, the result was decided by the toss of a coin.

Yes but clyde haven't played in Glasgow for years - even before they played in Cumbernauld it was Rutherglen, not technically Glasgow (a lot further from Glasgow city centre than Maryhill for example)Quote:

Sorry to be pedantic but it is Nottm Forest and Notts County.Quote:

The FTTT verdict is apparently with both concerned parties.
Just like a stopped clock!Quote:

No one believes it for a second, even Rangers supporters, and even if true, it's still possibly the third highest wage bill in the Scottish leagues - depending on how Hearts' cost cutting is going.Quote:

The old Rangers, MIH and HMRC all have the FTT decision according to Rangers Tax Case.
If it has gone well for them then I expect David Murray will be shouting it from the rooftops before the end of the weekend.
Silence probably means it has gone as expected.
While not wishing to speak for Ballengeich, I think there may have been a degree of sarcasm in his post. He was replying to my comment about staff numbers being slashed from 256 to 255.Quote:

I thought this was quite good:

Yes, an enjoyable read. You would be hard pressed though to decide who, from their current owner back to the previous two, had told the most lies.Quote:

When will people learn that this is how papers (especially those published in Glasgow) retain a readership?Quote:
