    At least with it happening in England there's a chance the police might try to catch the bastard.

    Some disgruntled teuchters in silly hats covered in wee badges being interviewed on their return form San Marino, they’re not saying it out loud but I can’t help feeling its really about McLeish and his Rangers background.

    Hopefully CCTV in the area caught the wanker and they can track him down.

    Probably more than a little truth in this. Stewart really is that much of an arsehole.

    It’s becoming so naturalised into daily conversation that he probably didn’t even notice anything was amiss.

    The point this cow makes is valid.....domestic violence can be triggered by a combination of alcohol and anger at a football result. But it’s merely a trigger.....guys who are going to beat their wives anyway and if not the football then some other excuse. 
    So, firstly I get quite offended by the vilification of football fans in general. But, for her to have identified one specific club....for me that’s liable, detrimental to the clubs image and actually the club should not be issuing statements. We should be issuing writs.

    There was a considerable blip in the anti-Alfredo Morelos narrative currently being driven by sections of the media in Scotland. Sadly, the predictable one-way traffic was not brought to a sudden halt by an ex Rangers player speaking out, no, Barry Ferguson and Lee McCulloch were too busy acquiescing and adding to that negative narrative with criticism of their own.
    In a week which showed Kirk Broadfoot raking his studs down Alfredo’s Achilles heel, you might have thought the onslaught would abate for a few days – but alas, this is Scotland we are talking about.
    Instead it was left to Chris Jack of the Evening Times to write an article,
     
    https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/17510914.how-alfredo-morelos-has-gone-from-medellin-to-Rangers-multi-million-pound-man/
     
    not only defending Alfredo, but in addition, humanising this young man so many have sought to dehumanise with comments such as “buffalo brains “and relating his upbringing to something from the Narcos Netflix series.
    Jack highlights a young man brought up in extreme poverty, who has never forgotten his roots, who remains respectful to his parents and the country of his birth, and for whom the lessons learned from such a harsh upbringing remain a driver towards success. Perhaps in any other country such a young man would be seen as a positive role model rather than the devil incarnate.
    But the comments of Ferguson and McCulloch really rankle – their adding to the anti-Morelos narrative serve to give it a sense of normality, when in fact it is anything but normal – it is  in fact, abnormal. And no amount of ex Rangers players selling themselves to the highest bidder should allow us to lose sight of this fact. It has been a concerted campaign to demonise our prize asset and the likes of Ferguson and McCulloch, with their strong Rangers antecedents, adding their weight to the millstone being placed round Alfredo’s neck serve to give this concerted campaign a sense of credibility.
    Ferguson and McCulloch are by no means the worst, Kris Boyd demonstrating his ability to adapt to the anti-Rangers agenda with considerable aplomb following a series of articles and comments criticising his former club. His lack of consistency in his arguments demonstrate Boyd realises which side of the bread requires to be buttered to ensure a favourable return.
    You make your bed and you lie in it. I hope we as fans and in particular RSC’s will remember those who have served the dirty pieces of silver some sections of the media will pay in order to provide a sense of balance and credibility to that which is unbalanced and lacks credibility. Hopefully the club itself will add some solidarity when the same individuals go begging for tickets.
    “To be a Ranger is to sense the sacred trust of upholding all that such a name means in this shrine of football. They must be true in their conception of what the Ibrox tradition seeks from them. No true Ranger has ever failed in the tradition set him.

    sandyinroyalblue reacted to The Moonlighter in A Memorial Plaque for James Wilson.   
    Back in 2015 our research, gleamed from the records at the Mitchell Library, confirmed that a James Wilson who was trainer at Rangers from 1897 until 1914 and a respected individual who also worked tirelessly with the building process of our great Club, had died suddenly after a bout of double pneumonia in 1914 at 21 Princes Street in Govan aged 52 , and  was buried at Craigton Cemetery.

    Bill Struth who was trainer at Clyde at this time was actually offered Mr Wilson’s job at Rangers but he refused to take another man’s place at our Club, that was to change upon the sudden passing of Mr Wilson.
    The Club had actually organised a benefit match for Mr Wilson against Everton at Ibrox only a week before he passed.
    While James Wilson was trainer at Rangers our Club won:
    7 League Titles
    2 Scottish Cups
    8 Glasgow Cups
    6 Glasgow Charity Cups.

    We were to discover  Mr Wilson’s stone at Craigton Cemetery and were incredibly fortunate that although sadly it was off  it’s plinth it was lying on the grass  inscription side up.

    A real chill went through us as we cleared the earth and moss from James Wilson’s stone and the words ‘’Trainer of Rangers’’ emerged.
    Since then our Restoration team placed new foundations, put the memorial back in place, cleaned and re-lettered the stone.
    James Wilson played a very important role in the success of  Rangers and we thought it would be appropriate to place a plaque at the base of his stone highlighting his achievements at our Club.
    That work was carried out yesterday.
    The plaque was funded by our Restoration of Rangers Graves Project..
    James Wilson. Gone but not forgotten.
