Great sentiment, contrasted by the behavior in Brentford. The mhedia will claim that's why the flag was there, to play one-upmanship, but I'm betting it had to have been made well before Saturday. Greatly appreciated by the Owls' supporters in the ground it seems.

Great news, even if it's only for the last few minutes. He deserves an ovation for his contribution this year.

All around the world journalists have written about the unbelievable loyalty of the Rangers support - apart of course from here at home in Scotland. 50,000 in SFL3 is just mind blowing for most people. I know I'm going to take a moment to look around me on Saturday at the greatest support in the world. We really are the people!

It's all about the Rangers. For me the jury is still out on Charles Green.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/8677608/ Ally McCoist is eager to drive Rangers forward when he discusses budgets with new interim chief executive Craig Mather next week. Mather, the club's director of sports development since October, took on the new role following the resignation of Charles Green with immediate effect on Friday. McCoist is due to meet Mather this week to discuss budgets and he is eager to freshen up his squad, although he knows he will have to work within constraints. The Rangers manager told Sky Sports News: "Craig's been here for a while now and we had an initial meeting on Thursday which was obviously beneficial but with the game coming up at the weekend that took paramount importance. "We have pencilled in a meeting for early on in the week, Tuesday or Wednesday, and Craig's of the same opinion as myself that the most important thing is we move the club forward and in doing that we have to bring freshness to the club in terms of players. "I'll have a better idea in terms of a budget certainly in the next week or so and I'm looking forward to hearing that. "I was given a budget before which I was obviously delighted with but whether that will change or not, we'll just have to wait and see. "But definitely in terms of the club and indeed the team moving forward, the team this year have done fantastically well, just thrown together in the space of days and they've managed to win the league comfortably which was the objective. "And that'll have to be the objective next year as well because we obviously still have the transfer embargo, at this moment in time we're going into SFL Two but I think we are able to sign players who are out of contract at the end of the season and register them on the 1st of September. "It's not an ideal situation but it's one that hopefully we can use to our benefit."

Okay, I'll bite. What I saw last year was a man who worked extremely hard to put together a group with enough money to buy Rangers on the basis of achieving a CVA. Not enough personal wealth to do it himself. He even stepped back when joining forces with Kennedy because he felt that would increase the chances of securing the club. I don't know whether D&P ensured his efforts were doomed to failure or not - time might perha[ps tell. He is a genuinely able businessman and someone with a love of the Rangers. I for one think his heart is in the right place. None of us yet know what the evidence will show about Charles Green, but I believe Paul Murray is doing what he thinks is best for the club. Awaits incoming.

RANGERS will tomorrow night recognise the staggering support they have received from the Light Blue Legions this season and we've selected ten fans to represent them to pick up an award. The fans, who entered a competition to tell us what Rangers means to them, will attend a VIP reception where they will mix with the top team squad then enjoy a four-course meal with wine and then go on stage to accept the award. The loyal Rangers fans have smashed all kinds of records this season, including setting a world record attendance for a fourth tier match, and their backing has been greatest story of the recovery process. Manager Ally McCoist, whose idea it was to create the award, said: “The backing we had during administration and then from the first match of the season has been quite incredible. I’ve been staggered by it. “We have found ourselves talking about the supporters every other week and that’s because they have continued to inspire us as the campaign has gone on. “They have been immense – utterly magnificent – and I take my hat off to every single one of them. Nobody deserves an award more than them and they have truly earned it.” Our panel of experts picked their favourite ten entries and you can read them below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuart Horsburgh My father, who is 78 this year, first took me to Ibrox over 25 years ago. Every Saturday we went to games, home and away. He bought me shares for my 18th birthday, and I bought him some for his 65th! Going to games was our time-just us. I now have a 3-year-old wee boy. I can't wait until he is older, then three generations can go together. We both bought shares again, and have kept our bond/season tickets. Rangers is part of our family. A deep emotional involvement. We are Rangers people. Born, not created. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Donaldson Rangers, to me, are, beside being the most successful club in world football, an example of honour, dignity and leadership. Mr. Struth set the standards to which everyone associated with club should always strive to achieve. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Billy McMorran For me, Rangers are an emotional pilgrimage wrapped with a tradition of success. It's doubtful any other Football Club has dealt such a hand of drama over its course. Ally McCoist once said - "we don't do walking away" - and truer words were never spoken. Rangers' success has been made possible by generations of resolute supporters, devoted staff, talented players, and a grand arena on which to step upon and play. As long as there is football there will always be The Rangers; And as long as I'm alive I will enjoy the journey. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jade Russell Rangers to me is so much more than a football club. It's a family which is held together by determination, passion, pride and history. Generations of my family have supported this amazing club, it's in our blood and we don't do walking away. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holly-Jade Johnston To me rangers mean: Family - I go with my dad every week and it allows me to spend time with him and we have built a strong relationship off the back of our team. Friends: Through Rangers I have met some amazing people who have helped me in some of my darkest and hardest personal times. Strength: No matter what has been thrown at us the team the team have held their heads high and gone from strength to strength. Courage: This last season has thought me that no matter what we are faced with we need to be brave and face our enemies and doubters. Pride: Rangers mean most of all to me pride and being proud of myself for standing up for my team. Having pride in supporting the best team in the world and dealing with our issue with dignity! Rangers to me mean everything ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexander Wilson I have been a supporter of Rangers for many years, ever since my first game at Ibrox. I can still remember the team, Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow, Greig, McKinnon, Baxter. Henderson, McMillan, Miller, Brand & Wilson. There have been many good times and some not so good, but my support for the team has never diminished. Indeed over the past few months my support has grown even stronger. Winning the Third Division title this season is our foundation for the future. I wish the players and staff all the very best. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lee McGowan Rangers is more than a club, it unites us together as family. Over the last year we have been through a lot, but being part of a family means that no matter what challenges are in-front of you, we face them together and stand by each other until the end. Although we may have disagreements, we will be the first to stand up and defend them. Past, present and future players all have a place in our hearts and memories that will live on through generations. But no matter where I am in the world, Rangers will always be home! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Colin Hay Rangers are a huge part of our families life. This has been passed down over previous generations and will continue to be passed down to future generations.This family spirit has never been more evident than this season in terms of standing behind the team we support. We will always follow, follow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emma Wardlaw To me, Rangers is more than a club. It means family, friends, loyalty, devotion and the highs and lows following a football team brings. From cold away days to standing in a packed Ibrox, the solidarity between us as fans and the players, management and staff makes everything worth it. Being a Rangers fan means following on, standing as one, wearing our colours loud and proud and as a great man once said, never walking away. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Craig Barratt Rangers Football Club is much more than its name suggests. It's a family, a great institution, one of the very best. Football is where it starts but its giving never ends. From excitement and happiness to drama and tears, most importantly it ends with friends. They're the people you rub shoulders with on cold match days, 50,000 blue soldiers, every one a familiar face. They're your dads, brothers, sisters, sons and mums, or even that wee guy Jimmy who got the chance of a ticket once. Together we stand strong no matter what they throw at us because when all is said and done there is only one Rangers. WATP.

Like other posters, I've had the pleasure of meeting Alistair a number of times and he was a top bloke. He was happy to chat, pose for snaps and sign autographs. So, for those reasons OP - I'm out.

That's how I understand it too.

Haters got to hate. Their manager is such a great role model for them.

Ffs, Penelope Pitstop!

Is it a really painful, cramping, period?

No, honestly. I can see and appreciate your point.

We were all disappointed that no "Rangers men" appeared last year, but I don't think we really know everything that went on. We do know that D&P were making some bizarre decisions. Some suggest a possible stitch up between D&P, Whyte, Green & even Ticketus that precluded any of the "Rangers men" ever being successful. There is also something about Whyte/Green Zues etc not being as fearful of liquidation than "Rangers men". Who wanted to be remembered as the "Rangers man" who took the club into liquidation? The key to all of that was the BTC. Now that D&P and the BTC are gone, perhaps there are some - like Dave King - who see a chance to come in. I would welcome that. I would welcome Dave King, Jim McColl, Paul Murray, Douglas Park all now putting money in. They seem to me to be wanting to do so not for a return, but to see us prosper. Investors do not necessarily need to be the ones then charged with running the club - so advertise and appoint the best men to do that.

Absolutely not. Life is about opinions, discussion, working together to be more than we are individually. Thinking Ally does not have his heart in the right place though........????
