    Can't make the game tonight and haven't missed any game home or away this season. 

    But don't want to use a crap free YouTube link, and would rather money went to the club so the easiest way for a first timer doing this guide would be much appreciated. 

     

    Thanks in advance. 

    You don't need to.

    Just buy the game for £5.99 and it's yours to view (If you're already an RTV subscriber)

    Not sure if you can see it if you're not.

    I haven’t had time to do the survey yet- but what is that about? Is it similar to the ‘founder member’ thing that the old board did a couple of years ago to squeeze more cash out of us that we heard fuck all more about? I came across my ‘founder member’ pack the other day for the first time in years:

    https://Rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/Rangers-launch-club-membership/

    have a look at some of those ‘benefits’- we saw absolutely none of them.

    Pretty much

    When FARE act against all clubs the way they do against us then Yes. 

    But while we get targeted by them we should be telling them to fuck off and go on the attack. 

    I agree completely, we highlight their hypocrisy as often & as loudly as we can but why give them the ammunition to hurt us with .. I just dont get it

    Like any other club is your mistake there Dean. Racism and sectarianism is rife in certain leagues and clubs all over Europe, everyone knows it yet Fare don’t seem to see fit to give them any attention.  

    Why is that? Because they are exactly what they claim to stand against in that they are discriminatory in what and who should be held to account.  They have an agenda. 

    Yes they do & it's a shit show, however they DO have the ear of UEFA so we have to play the game under certain rules, it's not fair but it is what it is, so play sensibly & get by it.

    Songs hurt the club? 

    On the authority of who exactly? 

    Some jumped up republican with a briefcase? 

    Unfortunately yes they do ... European competition comes with "strict liability" which means the club are responsible for YOUR actions.

    Do you think singing TBB is worth a big fine or shutting of stands or banned from competition (unlikely but an option) ... don't any of those options hurt the club,  all because you'll "sing what you want" .... that's not an RFC supporter IMO, that's just selfish.

    If you want to go through life with a fenian boot on your throat for the rest of your days then go right ahead. 

    If you value your right to sing song above hurting the club you love .. fucking strange way to show it.

    Fuck them. 

    They are only interested in the bad words when it’s coming from Our fans. 

    Get the songs sung loud and proud. 

    And watch us fined or heavier punishment levied !!!

    We have just complained bitterly about the club wasting cash over stupid legal challenges & terrible signings but fuck it ... let's do it to ourselves by singing songs WE KNOW will cause the club bother.

    Sing what we want just gets us into bother, doesn't matter a fuck about anyone else, I only care about RFC & it someone wants to fire shots at us .. I won't hand them the fucking bullets to do so.

  8. I wondered this too.

    If it was a sell out then there would be no segregation so I was assuming there would be an attendance of over 50k.

    However there is a difference between tickets sold & actual attendance (numbers through the gate)

    Height isn’t everything but it’s clear to see that the manager has realised how badly we failed to compete with teams physically last year. McGregor, Arfield and Murphy aside, so far we’ve brought in:

    Flanagan 6ft, Ejaria 6ft, Coulibaly 6ft, Goldson 6ft3.5, Sadiq 6ft3.5, and Katic 6ft4.

    We could still potentially see Solanke join at the end of the window who’s 6ft2, and the Rangers Observer have just confirmed that we’ve made an improved bid for centre back Jake Cooper at Millwall who’s 6ft5.

    It’ll be interesting to see the average height of our starting eleven when all deals are done. Height means nothing if you’re a shitebag like Herrera but I’m optimistic that we’re heading in the right direction to not get outfought physically this season - especially with the pressing system being implemented.

    It's not about just height though, too many times we've bought tall players who are essentially a lanky streak of bacon.

    Married to height has to be an element of bulk and power.

    However, yes it's clear that SG is intending to dominate games with either physicality or possession.

    There’s something about the timing of this...

    I've said as much too.

    As I said,  doesn't take away from. The content & point of the statement, all very valid and worthy of further comment but yeah ... "look over there, not over here"

    Spent a big chunk of last season injured. 

    Was just about to say this.

    Pretty sure that youth coaches believed he was destined for bigger things but injuries this season curtailed his opportunities to impact during the games program.

    I imagine they think this season, injury free, he can prove his doubters wrong & confirm what they believe.

    Rangers boss Steven Gerrard hopes to persuade Walter Smith to take up an advisory role at Ibrox

    Gerrard firmly believes Smith, who had two hugely successful spells in charge at Ibrox, can still have a vital part to play at the club

    STEVEN GERRARD is hoping former Rangers bosses Walter Smith and Graeme Souness can help him plot celtic’s downfall this season.

    The new Gers manager revealed he is keen to get Smith on board as soon as possible so he can start picking his brains.

    Gerrard firmly believes Smith, who had two hugely successful spells in charge at Ibrox, can still have a vital role to play at the club.

    The Liverpool legend plans to speak with the 70-year-old when he returns from Rangers Spanish training camp later this week.

    And he also refused to rule out the possibility of Smith being offered an advisory role as part of the new set-up.

    He said: “My main priority right now is getting myself settled in Glasgow and getting myself settled in the role.

    “Then I will certainly be leaning on the likes of Walter Smith and Graeme Souness and and bending their ears. — they will probably be getting sick of the sight of me.

    “I have met Walter quite a few times. He is a top fella and I am really looking forward to sitting down with him. We will invite him in

    Gerrard, who is in his first managerial role, reckons Smith’s vast knowledge of the Scottish game can prove invaluable.

    He said: “I haven’t really thought about it in terms of roles or at what level we want to use him.

    “I think we just want to get him round the table and have a chat with him — get his thoughts and his experience, how he saw last year and get some advice.

    “I never got the chance to work with Greame at Liverpool, but I have done a couple of TV appearances with him and charity events with him and being a midfielder myself he is certainly someone who I look up to.

    “So if I can get his ear as well it will only be to my advantage.”

    Gerrard also has his former Anfield boss Kenny Dalglish on speed dial although he’s not quite sure he will pick up now, given his allegiances lie on the other side of Glasgow.

    He said: “Kenny is my hero, if you are a young boy and you grow up in Liverpool, Kenny Dalglish is the man.

    “I know he is a celtic man but we are friends and Kenny is that type of man. He is a real football man.

    “He has given me many bits of advice over the years.

    “Our relationship is very strong although he will probably let the phone ring out now!”

    Gerrard, who hung up his boots two seasons ago at LA Galaxy, admits he’s known for the past five years management was the path he desperately wanted to follow.

    He added: “Around the age of 32, 33 while I was still playing, I decided this is what I wanted to do because I loved the game. The game has been a big part of my life.

    “I was at Liverpool from eight years of age and went full-time at 16 when I left school.

    “From 16 to 36 it was all that I knew — full-time football, being around top players, top managers.

    “That’s where the education had begun.

    “Towards the end of my career I knew I wouldn’t really be able to just walk away from the game and go into anything else — football is all I know.

    ‘I’m not sitting here thinking that I’m a top manager.

    “It is something that I will try and grow into, mould into and improve. I don’t want to stand still. I want to keep trying to grow.

    “But this is what I’ve craved since I came out of a playing kit. I craved that responsibility, that pressure, that three important points at the weekend.

    “Looking back at my playing career now, I feel as if I should’ve maybe played on for one more year.

    Spartak Moscow'

    “Not for the lifestyle in America. For the actual buzz of playing football. I went there to come out of Liverpool, just to breathe.

    “Because I knew my Liverpool days were coming to an end and I knew emotionally I would’ve found that tough.

    I used to love every single day going in and representing that club.

    “So I’d have played on for football reasons. But, my wife got pregnant while I was out there in the MLS and it just made sense at the time to come back home.

    “Now it’s just about experience, getting that experience, growing and improving.”
