JM1872 3,694 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I wonder how much money that will bring the table.Knowing the fools at the SPL/SFA they'll have charged a packet of Malteasers or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRodgA2k8 542 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 ...with the only reason they want to show the games being because of The Rangers US Contingent...Boca, Edu and Bedoya....we await thanks from the rest of the SPL for this deal, yes we will be waiting a long time.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Just wait for the demands that although Rangers create the interest that the money should all go to Celtic and the 10 dwarves in the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMac 1,405 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I read somewhere that Americans don't like to watch Sports with half empty stadiums, so a packed Ibrox would be a big attraction if their are a few Americans in the line up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
