    I didn’t hear the programme tonight but I like McCall and he’s usually pretty reasonable with his views. He may have played for the hun once upon a time but he’s no hun.
    Okay, I may be wrong about his allegiances but it was still a ridiculous thing for him to suggest a club would sell more tickets than seats that are available.

    If thats what he said it does come across as a bit of a naive comment to make.

    Mike Astley has just bought Jack Wills for £12.8m, no idea if he's any good or not.

    Hopefully better value than the last purchase, Fraser. That hasn't gone well......

    It's Ashley by the way, you're thinking back to the days when you dressed like Rick Astley

    If the Rangers end was over filled due to fans gaining entry without tickets, then the game should have been called off for safety reasons.

    Only spending pocket money this time and not taking on any debt.SD has about £500 million spare cash at the moment.

    Jack Wills is average and overpriced imo.

    Cracking statement from the Rangers today regards what went on at Rugby park last week, demanding apologies from everyone and condone fans who invaded pitch and smashed disabled section up, the Rangers say they are still trying to identify fans from incident.

    Clubs in Scotland should save the hassle and just ban them from grounds, this just gives a green light to Huns to do as they want when at away games, and what the ****** are Scottish police playing at, still no arrests for fans invading pitch and wrecking disabled bit.

    What are the rules on this? Is there any precedence?

    Would that be in the football rules? I would have thought that would have been a police decision?

    I like the part where they have various witness statements from Rangers fans saying it wasn’t their fault and there was crushing going on - regardless of this being out the stadium and any pushing was done by their own supporters. So the Killie ticket system failed and unlike normal civilians they decided to push and crush fans until the gates got opened but of course this is the fault of Kilmarnock and not the poor fans who thought they might be late for the game.

    No I don't think it would be in the football rules, more the health and safety rules. Although perhaps after this incident guidance should be created with a specific football view.

    Was in the last part of my post. That was probably the real reason for them to act like caged animals, smash down the gates, get in before the match begins then claim they felt unsafe when they shouldn’t have been barging in in the first place.

    Ever since 2012 when McCoist demanded that the names of the SFA-panel be made public - all 'in the interests of transparency' mind - what most Scottish Football fans always suspected but now had it confirmed, it's the fact that the Hun can do what they want, mainly because it's never their fault ! The panel-members (and their families) had to get security-advice from the Special Branch after death-threats were made to them, journalists/lawyers involved also got them, Raith Rovers/Turnbull Hutton received threats of arson-attacks on Starks Park etc, etc - and nothing was done, no-one from 'The Place Where Football Goes To Die' were even reprimanded or spoken to !. Ever since then the Hun, greatly helped by our 'esteemed' media, have just walked all over our game and given the finger to the game and Scottish Society in general !. Statement-after-statement is basically a 'F*** YOU !' to everyone outside their in-bred inner-circle !

    And Sevco knew who was on the panel all along.

    It would appear Killie have also put out a statement as the war of words continues

    This is true. Like Trump or Brexiters, try and appease them and they just demand more and more.

    I know peepl who still think they are owed a debt because the Rangerz were dumped into the 4th tier. The obvious lesson is: they should have been made to start again at the very bottom.

    This seems to be only mentioned in today's 'Scottish Hun' - presumably the 'Record'/Scotsman/Herald' etc don't do bad-news ? -


    https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/new...-today-hummel/


    RANGERS must pay Sports Direct £450,000 in court expenses by this afternoon after a judge imposed an injuction 'killing' the club's Hummel deal from next season.


    Anyone know if the've paid it or are they/King doing their usual and just ignoring it ?

    Rank stupidity if they did ignore it - the court documents clearly stated that failure to comply was punishable with jail time, for whoever the signatories were on the agreement....

    Yeah, you'd think something so important - especially as it's one of Scotland's biggest clubs - would've seen our esteemed 'media' all over this, keeping concerned supporters updated .............

    Media aren't going to publicize this mate - Ashley is still having too much fun bending Sevco over and skelping their erses.....

    Nothing from our esteemed 'media' as to if/has the Hun ponied up with SD but for the Herald, it's apparently 'Situation normal' for their 'journos' - print any/all absolute keech or drivel you can think up for the 'IQ-challenged loyal' as, no matter how outrageous or financially impossible it is, they'll believe it !

    https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport...eedback-anchor

    'Rangers have moved to break the bank with a €10m offer ........'


    Dunno who the player is as I couldn't get past the frst few words - this has Traynor's stench all over it !

    They can't even trust their fans at away games in Europe, so they've refused tickets for their next away game.

    "The same applies to those who indulged in sectarian singing in Warsaw last week and that is why we have taken the decision to make UEFA aware that we will decline tickets for our next away match even though this means that, once again, the many must suffer because of the few. "

    Probably saves them getting thrown out, if they were to get three
    Also means they know, they can’t control their fans
