Had two tickets but couldnae make it due to work so gave them to supporters bus. Got game on phone and now wish i had said no to overtime. Happy but sad. Roll on sunday.

So he might end up in England this transfer window after all.  To see a specialist.  

If the ref never seen the kickout and only went on linesman's word,then the linesman should have to explain what he seen. Then asked why he never flagged for two blatant barges. Corrupt to the core the whole lot of them.

No crticism of tonights performance intended by the way, everyone played their part. 
And I'm not criticising Tavernier. For me he is a natural talent, has a bit pace, loves going forward and is definately a keeper, just that he is not commanding. 
And I think Tavernier would benefit for not having the captain's reponsibility, would give him more freedom.
What summed it up for me was when Goldson decided to give Tavernier and Flnagan a wee bit of his advice and experience after both had been left exposed. To their credit Tav and Flanagan appreared to accept it and move on (suggesting there's a good team spirit there.)
So yes tonight was a big bonus all round.
If some of the posters s above are quite prepared to sit on one games result and not learn from it and look forward, then that's fine.
Not me though, I want more and more success and will never sit back in the short term. and  personally can now see greater potential and have much higher standard of expectation from this team., and quite simply see huge potential in the character and experience I have witnessed in Connor Goldson in all the games I've seen him.
Just like Steve Gerrard probably sees...................................

Not all are gimmicks. Bar in lanzarote would not sell hearts fans as seen them as junior H***. Would walk past every day with a Rangers top on jhst to wynde them up.

Was a great day at cowdenbeath. More on the streats than i was expecting ,and a good sash bash after at greengairs orange hall.

Delighted to see Lee Hodson in the pictures..

The hatred is killing football in this country.... when Dundee United played in the UEFA cup final I wanted them to win.... I was only 10 mind you so clearly supremely naive, but irrespective, there seemed to be a lot less hate. As I have posted many times on here, the hatred in our game really ramped up with John Reid joining the scum.
Its been all downhill since. not just for Rangers but for the whole footballing nation.
If Scottish football could get over their hatred of all thing Rangers and ask questions of why we are performing so badly on a European scale then we might start seeing change. being back in the top 10 of revenue earners because Rangers are back in the top league may sound like good news but imagine how we would move up that top 10 if we actually had some smart businessmen running the FA in the interests of ALL member clubs instead of just the few (one). Investors must look at the hatred and division here and think "fuck spending money there"
But even with current levels of investment we need to see much more development of our game and many more youths coming through. We just spent 4 years working our way through the lower leagues spreading the cash all through the divisions, what have they done with the extra cash? Have we been the catalyst for a conveyor belt of talent coming through? Have we fuck, we kept the lights on for a wee while for the smaller clubs and fuck all changed, they went back to normal once we went up the leagues.
Rangers are in the weird situation of being the financial juggernaut that keeps the lights on in Scottish football and yet have almost no say in how it gets run
 

Got a brick and a paving stone at the albertz wall. Done for my christmas by sister and daughter .

Just my opinion. Interested in other views…
 
INSTITUTIONALISED PREJUDICE AGAINST Rangers – ARE WE THERE YET?
There is almost certainly not a club in world football that faces the daily barrage of negativity and animosity that Rangers does. There is likely not a club that possesses such a dedicated, vitriolic and well organised enemy as the “anti-Rangers movement”.
It is a unique situation where the largest sporting entity in the country – a proud institution that has contributed so much to that country’s prosperity – is the focus of such relentless and all-consuming scorn and derision. So much so that, rather than offer support to the club in its hour of need, the forces within this country preferred to batter it to the ground (or try to). 
The process of systematically targeting Rangers FC through the press, the SFA and even the government has become more intense, more widespread and more blatant since we entered administration and were left vulnerable.
The question now is: are we already operating in a climate of INSTITUTIONALISED PREJUDICE against Rangers Football Club and its supporters?

THEIR INFLUENCE IN THE MEDIA
The infiltration of the Scottish media was a movement of stealth, a loose affiliation of the ‘celtic-minded’ over a number of years until there came a point when they were able to noticeably start pushing their bitter agenda through the Scottish press/radio/TV (and even further afield through left-wing publications like the Guardian). Just think modern day and the planned tabloid serialisation of Ill-Phil's vicious, hate-fuelled hatchet job on our club; or the cartoon of Ally committing suicide; or anything by Spiers; or the biased undertone of so much football content on the radio.
There is no doubt that, since the rise of the SNP, this anti-Rangers movement has enjoyed an almost free reign to increase its bitter propaganda in the press.
THEIR APPARENT INFLUENCE OVER THE LAW…
For me (and I fucking hate to mention this individual) the classic example of how these people now exert their control in The People’s Rhepublic of Scotland - is Haggerty. This angry, bitter woman complained to the police about the social media abuse she was receiving due to a podcast by a Rangers fan (never mind that she actively sought to bait Rangers fans on a daily basis). The police said "no crime committed" and THEN....Ms Haggerty engages the help of her mhedia buddies to FORCE the police to suddenly leap into action and arrest the guy who did the podcast. [Did a wee phone call maybe take place from one of Salmond's cohorts to the Chief Constable??] Inevitably, the legal system then kicked dutifully into gear and ensured the dude went to the jail. Strange outcome when no crime was committed, no? 
THEIR INFLUENCE WITHIN THE SFA
Few of us feel any real surprise each time there is a new instance of an influential figure in Scottish football harbouring an anti-Rangers bias. The warped agenda of the SFA was made abundantly clear (if it wasn’t already) following our entry into admin in 2012.
Gary Hughes is quite likely one of a number of Liewell “plants” within the SFA given the directive of taking every possible opportunity to twist and manipulate the official SFA rules to hurt and undermine Rangers FC. This new revelation about Hughes is a minor "blip" for these people. It is an unfortunate instance of their anti-Rangers/anti-Protestant agenda being exposed for what it is. Liewell will be pissed off because he likes to carry out his manipulations in such a way that we KNOW full well what’s happening but we can do fuck all about it. That’s the entire basis of his self-satisfied supercilious smirk. In common with most of his ilk, his hatred of Rangers far outweighs his love of celtic.
THEIR ATTEMPT TO INFLUENCE THE WIDER PERCEPTION OF Rangers
Influencing the law…influencing the media…ultimately the anti-Rangers movement want to influence how we are perceived. They want to marginalise us and redefine us in the eyes of Scottish society and, indeed, British society as a whole. They want us to be regarded as ignorant and outdated, an unwelcome demographic that has no place in the SNP’s modern vision of Scotland. Ironically, the main thrust of their propaganda is to label us as obsessive, bitter, aggressive and bigoted – all the things that have been proven time and time again to be THEIR primary characteristics.
In fairness, they have been more determined and more united in their cause than we have been in defending ourselves over the last couple of decades. The rise of the SNP and the clusterfuck of negativity surrounding our demise in 2012 have made it easier for their anti-Rangers narrative to gain traction.
Their number contains plenty of calculated strategists and manipulators who have successfully ingratiated themselves (and their cause) to the woolly minded liberal appeasers that are sadly more prevalent in our society than ever before. I’m talking about the type of folk who think equality means discriminating in favour of minorities rather than ensuring a level playing field; who think it’s sensible to mollycoddle Islamic extremists rather than expunge them; who generally fall over themselves to apologise for being British. Sadly, the propaganda in the media has sucked in many of the PC brigade hook, line and sinker.

THE FIGHTBACK - OUR WAY FORWARD...
What do we have to do?
Over the past six years we have shown incredible resilience and loyalty that has been admired across the entire footballing world (with the exception, predictably, of our own country). Given our size and our passion it is inevitable that our star will rise again and, as we recover our status on the pitch, we must also start to defend our rightful place in society.
1.       The Rangers Board need to stand up and take issue with EACH and EVERY instance of unfair reporting and obvious prejudice, threatening and actually proceeding with legal action wherever viable. Some may think this type of constant griping is not the Rangers way, but just take a wee look at how successful the other side have been with it. We NEED to match them blow for blow in the gutter press in order to defend our reputation and stop their poisonous doctrine spreading.
2.       The Ranger’s press liaison officers need to cultivate stronger ties (and more of them) with sympathetic journalists and media people. We need to actively feed the narrative of OUR choice rather than just react to the narrative of THEIR choice. After all, attack is the best form of defence. We should readily ban journalists and publications that clearly have an anti-Rangers bias (they need us more than we need them and if they can’t behave…)
3.       We have to actively keep promoting a positive image of Rangers and its supporters showing that a respect of Queen, country, tradition, the armed forces and the Union flag is something to be PROUD of and goes hand in hand with welcoming EVERYONE into the Rangers family. The Rangers support is traditionally made up of proud, hard-working, decent people who conduct themselves with integrity. The anti-Rangers movement would love dearly to change this perception of us permanently.
4.       We should embrace our rich history more than ever before (not least because it winds them up so much with their sevco crap). The recent examination of our origins and the fantastic Founders Trail that resulted are wonderful developments. Personally, I have an image in my mind of my Great Grandfather going to Ibrox back in the thirties (apparently with a rattle!) to cheer on the Rangers in the midst of the Depression. It might be hugely romanticised, but the main stand would have been there and I see him walking along Edmiston Drive in the midst of the famous mighty throng of Bears from a much simpler time. I doubt there are many clubs who value and identify with their heritage like we do.
5.       Crazy as it now seems, some of us were briefly wooed by the SNP but now we should ALL be able to see the danger they represent. They must never get another solitary vote from the Rangers family.
6.       We need to refrain from giving celtic fans like MOH the blue jersey. This isn’t in the least bit discriminatory or connected to religion, it just makes absolutely NO sense to fill a place in our squad with a man who will never put us first in his heart when playing our greatest rivals.
7.       We have the largest fan-base in Scotland and consequently (as has been proved) the SPL relies on us. Yet we have not used this to our advantage. Rather, we have sucked up all the unfair treatment meted out to us and we have continued to pack away ends across the land thus giving the clubs that tried to hurt us their life-blood revenue. If need be – and without hurting the club - we should consider withdrawing the blue pound from those who actively work against us.
8.       Finally, we must STOP APPEASING!!  We need to recapture what it means to be a RANGER (player or supporter).
a)       Ex-players who don’t stand their ground and defend the club when in the media should NOT be welcome at Ibrox. You may say that it’s necessary to ‘toe the line’ in order to get work in the biased Scottish mhedia but this is a defeatist attitude that actually MAKES OUR SITUATION WORSE. It’s no surprise that proud Rangers men like Willie Henderson and Davie Wilson make Terry Butcher look like a Judas weasel.
b)       Our celebrity fans should stand proud and say ‘Rangers all the way!’ when asked their team, not mumble it into their fucking boots like it’s something they’re a wee bit ashamed of.
c)       Those sympathetic to us in the media should find the confidence to counteract the bias we face by reporting in a way that, God forbid, actually favours us and tarnishes them.
d)       Hand-wringers and apologists should be banned from holding office at the club or representing the club in any official capacity whatsoever. And hand-wringers among the support should be taken to one side and quietly enlightened. These people show weakness to our enemies and are telling the world that the negativity against us is somehow justified. This delights the anti-Rangers movement and hurts the club. People the world over respect STRENGTH and SELF-BELIEF, not babbling clowns who are embarrassed by the National Anthem, the waving of our Union Flag or the singing of our traditional songs. You never see that on a supporter’s bus yet some of the posts here on RM…
 
In summary, we need to consciously take affirmative action if we are to reclaim what is rightfully ours. Our enemies have had a field day and we need to actively start working to redress the balance.
I think there is an inexorable link between our challenge on the field and our challenge as a community within Scotland. Success breeds confidence and it will become so much easier for us to collectively fight our corner and start to redress the balance and repair the damage of their slurs and propaganda once we are winning the league and cups again.
I’m taking the positives where I can. The repeal of the Salmond’s ridiculous “Offensive Behaviour…Act”; the newly announced ticket allocation for old firm games at Ibrox; the record uptake of season tickets.
I’m praying that King will come good with funds available to the new boss and that, in turn, Gerrard can demonstrate real managerial prowess to galvanise our squad into mounting a proper challenge. It shall indeed be a joyful thing to behold when the cosmetically enhanced grin gets wiped off Brenda’s weirdly orange face.
We have tolerated for too long, Bears. We must be strong and defend ourselves with absolute conviction. And we must be clever about it, as they have been.
Let’s take back our rightful crown and usher in a new era for our magnificent football club.

Real Rangers men, loyal and proud. 
Let them be an example to today's squad.

Gutless spineless cowards. Get the whole lit to f##k.

And Fraser Aird in the Haribo advert

Id rather dundee hibs went down and junkie hibs stayed down. Then would not have to travel to see THE RANGERS play them and give them any money.

Every year I try getting into this sport and every year it doesn't happen.
What are my team like? 49ers?
