    king statement

    I disagree on your first point. Even if Metro wanted to charge us 40% APR (we are paying the equivalent of 34%), we would not have been asked to secure it with two assets totaling £5m.

    It is not just the fee that gets me, it is the security also.

    15% is not that bad if it were a bank or lender but a shareholder taking that, is poor.

    You are correct the loan is secured with assets , 30% per annum is loan sharking

    Scotland Supporters Association Statement

    As someone at the game last night, I'm aware that the majority of fans there were angered by what appeard to be quite a large group, albiet a minority, of fans who chose to boo Ian Black. Many, including myself, spoke to some of the Association representatives to express our dismay at the actions of that minority. All of the reps we spoke to, who support a variety of clubs, were equally unhappy at the treatment given to Black. A statement was released today by ATAC to reinforce that point - a view shared by the vast majority of Scotland fans.

    Fans' body condemn Black treatment

    (UKPA) – 59 minutes ago

    The Association of Tartan Army Clubs (ATAC) have condemned those Scotland fans who booed midfielder Ian Black during Wednesday's friendly match against Australia at Easter Road.

    The 27-year-old Rangers player, who joined the Ibrox club in the summer after leaving Hearts, came on as a late substitute to make his debut to the vociferous displeasure of a section of the home support.

    There had been controversy surrounding Black's call-up to the squad. Scotland manager Craig Levein had omitted team-mate Lee Wallace from the squad due to him now playing his football in the Irn-Bru Third Division.

    Black was then targeted near the end of the game which the Scots won 3-1. It was unclear whether that was because of his Hearts and Rangers connections, or his general reputation as a hardy midfielder.

    Speaking for ATAC, Jim Brown said: "One of the guiding principles of the Tartan Army is that when we come together club allegiances are put to the side as everyone throws their support behind the national team.

    "It is therefore regrettable that a small section of the Scotland support chose to forget this and booed Ian when he took to the field and for the short period he was on the pitch.

    "Given that this was Ian's full international debut, an occasion he has described as being the pinnacle of his career to date, these actions are especially disappointing."

    After the match Black claimed the booing did not ruin the occasion.

    "I'm absolutely delighted, it's probably the biggest and proudest moment of my career so far," he said.

    I'm not particulalry expecting any positive comments on this but thought it was important that Rangers fans know that the vast majority of the Scotland support, including the offical supporters representatives, which still include many Bears, are just as pissed off about last night as folk are on here. I think it's also worth pointing out that Ian Black has made it clear that it was still an extremely proud moment for him, and one which he regards as a high point in his career. Hopefuly he'll achieve, and be recognised for, even greater achievements both with Rangers and with Scotland.

    Good Luck Naisy

    All these players that are now leaving, I say fair enough, you have to look after yourself.

    The big thing that grates with me is they could have transferred to newco, still have their exit clause, Rangers would get some transfer money and so would they.

    The are just being too greedy, none more so than Naismith.

    Bang on , Fuck Naismith, Rangers man my arse.

    Yep, was thinking the same. Cant see him hanging about division 3. He'll have ambitions of breaking into the scotland squad in the next couple of years.

    He will need to get fit before looking at getting in any squad.
