"You better fancy Rangers to win today." To all those Rangers hating bastards out there, you better fancy Rangers to rise again. SEMPER PARATUS.

"We wish the new Rangers Football Club every good fortune." Who's this new Rangers Football Club? Have I missed something? Deary me.

United we stand. No more division. We're all Rangers men.

This deserves more attention than it's received.

Alistair McCoist MBE is one of the greatest ever Rangers. He's up there with the best there has ever been. I can't put into words how happy it makes me feel knowing that he's the manager of Rangers Football Club. He's handled every attack, every unjustice and every obstacle that has came his way throughout this whole saga with resolve, strength, integrity, respect and dignity. I'll be certain to have a special tear run down my face when I tell my grandchildren of the legend that was Super Ally and how his love for the red, white and blue shone through brightest from the skies above Edmiston Drive during the Club's darkest hour, albeit excluding the two Ibrox disasters. He embodies every victory, every goal, every cry, every tear and every smile that this wonderful football club has provided, and continues to provide, to us all, The Rangers Family. We will never forget how loyal you've been to us all and, most importantly, to Rangers FC. Thank you, Ally.

That always cracks me up. The bheasts from the east crying on about how Rangers Football Club is no more and that the newco is a completely different entity, yet they still want this apparently newly formed club punished for the actions of the oldco. You can't have your cake and eat it. It's one or the other. It doesn't work both ways. Although at Parkhead you can have your cake, get molested, be made to feel like a monster for it, be told you're telling porky pies and nobody will ever know. Aye, Kelly. We all saw you on Scotland Tonight on STV a few days ago. You nasty little cunt. You knew and did nothing. Seeing that disgraceful human-being in the studio was absolutely repulsive.

I don't want us in this fucking joke league. Fuck the SPL. Take the punishment and head to the Third Division. That's justified and it's the better option for Rangers too.

They can't even fill their ground for games against Rangers, which as we all know is their biggest game of the season, yet they believe that 300 ghost season ticket holders are going to cover the millions of pounds black hole left by our absence? Too much sheep fucking.

Cheers, Bears. Had to blow off some steam last night.

And don't let anyone tell you any different, Bears. This process is absolutely dissimilar to that of Airdrieonians and Airdrie FC.

It's been a truly dark day today. Personally, I never thought this day would come. A day when the severity of our Club's financial mismanagement has truly been laid clear for all to see, with the men to blame in certain hiding, and the Rangers Family suffering around the world. The anti-Rangers mob of this country however have not been hard to seek out. It's an unhealthy obsession but an unrepentant one at that. I've been approached several times today by vermin with this "cheating" nonsense. According to these self-acclaimed warriors of Scottish football, Rangers "cheated" every other club in the SPL and that's why attendances are at an all time low all around the country; Rangers "cheated" themselves to titles and gained an unfair advantage over other teams; Rangers "cheated" the tax man and should be dead and buried. You'll hear a cry for a just punishment from some more moderate fans of other clubs in the SPL, but very few mean punishment. They want our club dead. Let me remind those horrible little celtic men who vomit this poison across forums, on buses and in the pub: where lies your corinthian spirit and siege for sporting integrity surrounding the funding of the wages paid to Robbie Keane, Roy Keane, Ljungberg and several players of the O'Neill era? These wages came straight from the pocket of Dermot Desmond. Last time I checked the St. Mirrens, Motherwells and Kilmarnocks of this country don't have billionaires behind their club's funding £60,000-a-week loan signings to score penalties against bottom half sides and to appease the masses within the filthy festering east of Glasgow. One would consider such outside investment cheating by all standards - so how dare you take the moral high ground over the football finances of other clubs. Don't you fucking dare. Let me also remind those at Tannadice, Pittodrie and McDiarmid Park that those grounds aren't going to fill themselves any time soon without the Bears. Biting the hand that feeds you is never a good business plan for any football club wishing to progress. The likes of Kilmarnock, without Rangers Football Club, would have been plunged into administration themselves years ago had the Club not received the £2m transfer fee for a certain Steven Naismith. I wonder how that will pan out over the next few years should a similar scenario arise. Let's sit back and watch, shall we? When you sleep in yet again for that kick-off down at the match in that new-look SPL because "there was no point", and when you begin to realise how great a mistake it was to present an SPL without the premier team in the land to the country and to an uninterested Sky, listen closely and be fearful for you own little club's existence. You are orchestrating the demise of not only your own club but the future of Scottish football. And for those clubs who want us dead? The Rangers Football Club has been on its knees fighting for its every last breath over the past 6 months. The Rangers support has kept it living with unmatched love, loyalty and charity. As the saga continues to develop, the Club may in fact be playing its football in the Third Division as of 2012, away from those who harmed it and laughed at it, whilst Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs targets the men who plundered the Club into disrepair. We're willing to take the punishment all around us wish for. No newco Rangers in the SPL is what you want and that's fine by us. We'll rise again. The Club is just going for a little sleep just now. But just you fucking remember: that sleeping giant at the bottom of the Scottish football leagues is going to wake up, and its going to be very fucking angry. It won't ever forget those who kicked it when it was down, and when Rangers return stronger, louder and more powerful, don't expect any favours when the big boys come back to town. We'll have the last laugh, when you'll be taking your last breath. No Surrender.

I don't want us in the SPL. Division 3, please.

Oh, take a running fuck back into reality you silly person.

You may but its important to note that whenever using it in public a disclaimer* is needed always. *No Irish Catholic bats were involved, harmed or offended within this figure of speech.

The man speaks his mind and doesn't try to bend anything asked of him. He's straight to the point. I'm not ready yet to put all my trust in him but he does give me confidence more and more as time goes on.

You're a truly bizarre human being if you honestly believe that there's some sort of mass underground conspiracy involving Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs and the notion of crippling Rangers even further when the Club will no longer owe them any outstanding debt after the TUPE process is completed. And when I say bizarre, I mean bat-shit insane.

Rangers Forever.

Feel absolutely numb.

Again, I seem to have, how one would say, written a lot of pish. That wasn't what was in my head.

Apologies. You're correct.

Where do you get off making such a petulant, ill-informed, inaccurate comment like that simply because Rapid are, quite understandably, doing all they can to not find themselves millions of pounds out of pocket after selling their best player? A player of Jelavic's calibre more so, one of the best that they've had for quite some time. Being bitter towards Rapid for refusing to accept a measly amount out of a very large promised fee is bad enough, but to then go on and call them Nazis...what age are you? Grow up. You can't possibly tar all of Rapid's fans with the same brush of some brain-dead fucking moron who made that Nazi salute to the Hapoel fans. It's a real shame that Rapid will most likely lose out on a lot of that money. A real shame. I want this all to be over. EDIT: I understand it isn't £10k of £4m. That wasn't what I intended to write but my mind decided to do so anyway. I've changed it now but I originally wrote that they were only receiving £10k out of £4m. That is wrong.

350/1 for a 3-0 Rangers win that night from memory.

I would be ridiculously happy if Rino returned.

Fantastic! I never knew that. Cracking post.

It has to be the Moses McNeil Academy for me. Absolutely no disrespect to Coop but this man started it all.
