On my opinion.. I find it great the club has a long standing tradition all things British and I've always loved that part of the club and being a Rangers supporter but when it comes to doing what I feels best for me and the future for my kids or their kids then it has to come before football. Yes vote from me and I know a lot of bears voting no just because of our club even though they've admitted to me a Yes should be what their voting for. Some folk need to waken up and realise there's more to life than football, although it does come close lol.

Can't answer yes or no, I still believe that Ally was given a job to do, and that was to ensure we reached the top flight as quickly as possible, and irrespective about what we feel about the quality of some of the football he is doing the job he is employed to do.
Long term, I don't believe he is the right man for the job, but to be honest I'm not sure who is, we as a fan base demand success and winning championships is the minimum we expect, yes we want more attractive football, and yes we want to win with more flare and style but I'm not sure who we could bring in who would give us both, because let's be honest if we had someone who gave us flare and style but we won fuck all then that person would be hounded.

Rangers FC of Scotland beats Republic FC in friendly

When Rangers FC of Scotland played Republic FC in a friendly Saturday night at Bonney Field, the Briggs family of Elk Grove couldn’t lose.
Robert Briggs was born 47 years ago at a hospital two miles from Rangers FC’s famed Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow. The stadium was on his father’s postal route.
He converted his wife, Elaine, a Northern Ireland native, to Rangers fandom when they married. Their children – Lois, 20, Esther, 18, Deborah, 16, and Andrew, 14 – grew up with blue in their blood. That’s the color of Scotland’s most renowned soccer club.

But Briggs, a pastor, also is Republic FC’s chaplain and a season-ticket holder of the first-year USL Pro franchise. His daughters, all current or former soccer players, also are huge fans.
“We’re 100 percent for both,” Deborah said before the Rangers rallied to beat Republic FC 2-1.
“We’re 200 percent behind them,” Robert said, flashing a big smile. “To have the Rangers come to Sacramento at a time when there’s all this excitement about Sac Republic, it’s just amazing for us.”
For the last nine years, Robert Briggs has coached a girls soccer team in Land Park. Not surprisingly, they are called the Rangers.
Lois and Esther were members of the team before they aged out. Deborah, who also plays soccer at Laguna Creek High School, captained last season’s Rangers team to the U-16 California Youth Soccer Association-North District VI championship. Deborah and many of her Rangers teammates served as ballgirls for Saturday’s match.
Robert and Deborah presented the Rangers FC team with one of their District VI championship banners at practice Friday at Bonney Field. They also had players autograph a Rangers youth jersey that Lois first wore as a 5-year-old and was passed down to her sisters.

“We grew up watching the Rangers because every year we knew we’d get a new jersey at Christmas,” Esther said.
The family also regularly watched Ally McCoist, the Rangers’ coach and legendary striker, when he was on the popular BBC show “A Question of Sport.”
Among their favorite Rangers players are midfielder Kris Boyd and defender Dean Shiels.
Lois and Esther played for Dean’s father, Kenny, when he ran soccer camps and coached a team they were on as little girls.
Boyd has the same last name as Elaine’s maiden name (though no family connection), and he was an entertaining and prolific scorer for the Rangers from 2006 to 2010 who has returned to the team this season.
The Briggs sisters’ favorite Republic FC player is forward Thomas Stewart because he hails from Northern Ireland, where they were born.
The girls attended a Rangers match at 50,000-seat Ibrox Stadium in 2010, an atmosphere they said was like no other they’ve experienced. While Bonney Field isn’t quite the Ibrox, the Briggs family also enjoys the festive atmosphere at the 8,000-seat stadium. It doesn’t hurt that Republic FC plays entertaining soccer.
While he’s rooting for Republic FC in its bid to move to Major League Soccer, he’s proud the Rangers appear to be overcoming a tumultuous period in their long and stellar history.

McCoist is trying to resurrect a club that was forced into receivership over a tax dispute and dropped from the Scottish Premier League, in which it won a record 54 titles. After winning two lower-division titles, the Rangers have climbed to the second-tier Scottish Championship League, in which they begin play in August.
“Ally McCoist has stuck by the club in its darkest days,” Robert Briggs said. “From a Rangers point a view and from a fan’s point of view, Ally’s loyalty is second to none. He has had to rebuild the Rangers from scratch.”

The link for YouTube is in the OP...no need to stay up pissed and trying to watch it at 3.30am.
Save this thread to your favourites - Go to your kip, and tomorrow morning while the missus is setting up breakfast click on the link and enjoy whilst refreshed from your slumbers.
Sunday morning with Tattie scones and bacon on toast garnished with tomato sauce washed down with a hot cuppa during The Rangers playing is most appealing, so that's what I'll be doing.

Big party in Brasil and Lineker, Shearer, Ferdinand and 'no nation' Hansen with 'jacket & ties' FANNIES!!
