    Not a fan of Djokovic at all, purely because he always pumped Murray 😂, but the way the crowd are with Federer really makes me want Djokovic to beat him.

    Darius72 reacted to RDB14 in Morelos - All Goals from first 2 seasons!   
    Given all the talk of Morelos potentially leaving I thought this was worth putting together.  Every goal Morelos has for us prior to this season.

      If a video like this was posted for a player we were linked with, we would be buzzing.  Left footed goals, right footed goals, headed goals!  Hopefully he stays on for the season ahead and fires us to 55.

    I was actually half jesting with my alternate title, but I admit that there were titles whizzing around my head that could have landed  a person in very hot water in todays Scottish political climate.

    Darius72 reacted to Ace in Gers Season Tickets Hit Record Levels   
    WITH almost a month to go before the start of the new Ladbrokes Premiership campaign Rangers can announce that season-tickets sales have again reached record levels.
    Last year’s figure of 45,419 was itself a record but, as of today, 45,757 have been sold and we have a waiting list of close to 14,000.
    These numbers not only reflect the undying loyalty Rangers supporters have for their club but also demonstrate the strength of belief they have in the present management team.
    No one is more conscious of that than Rangers chairman Dave King, who said: “Once again Rangers supporters have stepped forward and reminded us that we, the directors of this special club, are in a fortunate and privileged position to be able to work for them and with them.

    Darius72 reacted to Ozblue in Welcome George Edmundson   
    The full interview with him on Rangers TV was quite interesting and he seems as if he can't believe that Stevie Gerrard asked him to come and play at such a massive club; he actually looked starstruck when he was in the trophy room and realised just how successful we have been in the past with all the trophies, medals and league title flags on show. I had to chuckle when he was asked if he had met any Rangers player and he said he had played against Jordan Rossiter when  Oldham were beaten by Bury and Rossiter got man of the match. He certainly has got his feet on the ground, so hopefully he will learn quickly and be a good addition to the squad.

    Darius72 reacted to To Be A Ranger in Rick Roberts - Troublesome tribalism: does it matter who asks the questions?   
    You're flitting all over the place desperate to show the celtic paedo scandal is nothing different from anywhere else, and all you're doing is showing yourself up.
    It's been shown that these people exist in every walk of life, but once found out they are reported to the relevant authorities, prosecuted and/or kicked out of the very environment they existed in. Unfortunately any decent person could be working or living next to one of these paedos without knowing it.
    The thing that makes celtic so complicit in the child abuse is that they knew it was going on for decades yet continued to employ and do business with these folk.  BJK kicked Torbett up the arse 'cause that was the way things were dealt with in those days', but they then later welcomed him back into the fold, pictured at official celtic gatherings surrounded by major celtic men including BJK. Only celtic deal with things that way. No decent human being or organisation would dare be so blatant (except perhaps the Pope and his merry men). Big Jock Knew, those high up in the celtic hierarchy knew, the players knew! (6 celtic managers knew https://www.vanguardbears.co.uk/article.php?i=210&a=six-celtic-managers-knew-about-paedophilia-at-celtic-park…… ).
    FFS it was referred to Macari's book and McNeil was quoted saying the abuse was an open secret.
    For you to put the celtic paedophile scandal on a level par with a paedo being found to have worked at Hibs, Thistle etc is downright shameful on your part unless obviously they covered it up, and continued to do business with said paedo etc in the same manner as celtic did (and maybe still do). 
    celtic deserve to be hounded for as long as it takes for them to acknowledge the part they played in the paedophile ring that existed within their ranks. No punishment would be hard enough. 
    And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

    Darius72 reacted to The Moonlighter in 163 Years Ago Today. Tom Vallance.   
    On the 27th May 1856 the Rangers legend that was Tom Vallance was born.
    To quote his Rangers team-mates from the 1870’s ‘’ The whole of Rangers loved him like a brother’’
    Over the years of our research one name kept popping up time and again and that’s the name of Tom Vallance who had on reflection sadly been overlooked.
    Tom was born at a small farmhouse known as Succoth near Renton in the parish of Cardross in 1856.When young he moved with his family to the Old Toll House at Shandon on the Gareloch.Tom came to Glasgow in the early 1870’s following the path taken by his friends from the Gareloch ,the brothers McNeil and Campbell .
    Tom Vallance had an astonishing 60 year association with the Club, and his is an incredible CV.
    He was a master oarsman, a champion athlete (he set a Scottish long jump record of over 21 feet), he studied at the Glasgow School of Art, had paintings accepted by the Royal Scottish Academy and was Rangers Club Captain and President for many years.
    We have recorded details of Tom Vallance being present at the ceremony held on 1st January 1929 which saw the opening of the Main Stand at Ibrox and also at a dinner which was held in the St.Enoch’s Hotel after a Rangers match in 1933 when we faced Sporting Club of Vienna. He was also a guest of the Club at the New Years Day fixture against celtic.So, the lad who was present at Fleshers Haugh in 1872 is still attending Ibrox some 60 years later where the Club that he’d helped form and nurture were now playing in front of crowds in excess of 100,000.
    Tom was a successful business man. He had The Club restaurant at 22 Paisley Road West which today is the Viceroy Bar,The Metropolitan which stood on Hutchison Street in the Merchant City area of Glasgow and the Lansdowne which was at 183 Hope Street.
    Tom was having the Rangers results wired to his restaurants for the benefit of his patrons as early as 1890.
    When Rangers moved to First Ibrox in 1887 it was said that it was common for Club President Vallance to be working the turnstiles on matchday.
    At the opening of the Main Stand in 1929 Tom Vallance recalled the facilities being so cramped at the Rangers ground at Kinning Park that the players would have to wash in basins of cold water in the open air.
    It was the teenage Tom Vallance who helped lay the very foundations upon which our Club was built, hard-work, discipline, honesty, integrity and fair play .Mr. Struth said during that famous speech “No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the Gallant Pioneers”
    Tom was paid the ultimate accolade by the Club in May 1898 when he was made a life member.
    As a lasting tribute to the incredible contribution he made to our Club we had Tom put on to canvas by way of a painting by artist Helen Runciman .Tom Vallance has now taken his rightful place at the top of the Marble Staircase alongside his friends and fellow Founders.
    Tom died on 16th February 1935 aged 78 at 189 Pitt Street Glasgow. He is buried in Hillfoot Cemetery in Bearsden and his funeral was attended by Mr. Struth, Chairman James Bowie and his old team-mate James McIntyre who both took a cord.Incredibly ,players from the Vale of Leven team whom Tom had faced 60 years earlier in 1877 were also in attendance.
    He was a great Ranger who loved his Club.
    Today we celebrate the life of Tom Vallance.

    Good words from Gough and great attitude from Katic. Regardless of your views on whether he shouldn't have been dropped, he should have played more there is little doubt in my mind he has come back bigger, better, stronger and hungrier not only physically but mentally too. Massive credit to Katic. Deserves a lot of praise. As Gough says he could be our centre half for many years to come.

    I get what some of the posters are trying to say. 
    Yes a footballer should be able to go wherever they want on holiday and relax and just enjoy themselves. 
    However we live in a fucked up wee country with arseholes who are willing to break the law and assault a person they dont know because of the team that footballer has chosen to represent. And if I was a footballer I'd not put myself in that position. 
    I'm not saying that's right as it's clearly not, but I think I'd personally choose a destination that's not likely to have groups of drink fuelled morons that might want to take a pop at me because I played for Rangers.

    Amazing the amount of people jumping on their high horse and attacking Inigo for what was a reasonable post.
    Stories going round now that he's not been bottled at all and it was a punch. Not that that makes it any better.
    He should be able to go wherever he wants on holiday. He should be able to walk around without worrying about being attacked.
    Sadly, we all know he can't though and that's the point Inigo was making. He never said it was Dorrans' fault ffs

    Too many jumping on this post and not really getting what the post is all about.
    Whats occurred is absolutely disgusting and at no point is the blame being put on GD as it’s all the cunt who has attacked him.
    Any professional footballer from Glasgow should be able to go anywhere at any time but in the real world that isn’t possible as we all know what’s out there and you’re just a massive fkn target.
    Anyone can see that this wasn't the best choice of location and let’s be honest he probably won’t be back and he’ll probably admit it wasn’t the best place to go.
    Most of us wouldn’t walk through the gallowgate on a Saturday night wearing a Rangers top after beating Scurrilous FC and I don’t see this as any different. 
    A wrong choice when there are a lot safer situations to put yourself in.
