Reviving an old family tradition/superstition for tonight. Always used to visit a certain wee chippy on The PRW before a game for a fish tea. Apart from being bloody delicious and a good soaker upper of the pre-match pints it also served as a portent (for me anyway) of good things to come at the upcoming game. Suffice to say that over the last few years I have not been indulging in many fish teas before the games we have managed to attend, so it is my fault we have been pish at times over the last few years at home. So everyone, no matter how outlandish or downright lunatic your fitba superstition may be, let us take nothing to chance tonight. Lucky scarf, boxers, socks, cuddly toy, sex toy........ Whatever, just do it.

I do not suppose that Wikipedia names them all? That is still an impressive number mind you given that most of them would have been brought up to hate us.

Watching the John Greig interview there, it struck me how strong his Embra twang still was.? The late, great Sandy (Sandy in Royal Blue) was the same. The fact that our greatest ever player hails from outwith Glasgow speaks volumes for the appeal we have as a Club. So, for those anoraks out there, how many Edinburghers have played for our glorious institution?

I would advise some caution on predictions Brothers. Motherwell's players will be fighting for their jobs. We could easily stumble again befre we emerge from this dark tunnel we have been travelling before emerging once more into the light.

May I suggest that the thread belongs here as I was attempting to make a tounge in cheek point about the ludicrous reaction from some to the young Bears lobbing some paper balls at the Hivs game?d

Watching the news there, article showing The Mhanks celebrating their glorious plod to victory in a one horse race. I was horrified to see viciously sharp shards of confetti and countless paper streamers being blasted on to the pitch by what looked suspiciously like rocket launchers. If it had not been for the fact that the game was already over, then it must surely have been stopped, and the culprits responsible marched out to the centre circle and shot down like rabid dogs.

Had the great good fortune to be present that day. In footballing terms the only way we will ever experience a better high would be to win another European trophy. Best memory of the day was seeing the guy in the seat in front of me who was listening to the radio, leap almost 10 feet in the air when Motherwell equalised, scenes of joyous pandemonium then followed unlike any I had seen before or after, including many a goal celebration against the Mhanky Mhob. Our supporters club bus that day literally bounced home.

Half the usual number of course, so you will have to sing twice as loud. Bring the result home guys and I hope you have a trouble free day. Wish I could be there, as I was 10 years ago, the same result as that day will do nicely.

What do you expect from a Mhank? They spend more time thinking about us than they do about their own bottom feeding rock suckers. When it comes to football, all I ever think about is Rangers. How sad that our enemies can only think about Rangers. Perhaps if they thought and loved their own teams more than they hate us then they might actually feel some sort of peace in their lives. We are criticised in some quarters for being arrogant, because we only care about us, not the rest of Scottish football, but what has Scottish Football ever done for us apart from trying to kill us off? Be it this year, or next, or the year after we will return to the top of the Pile, and once we do I am so going to enjoy pissing upon them from a great height.

More season ticket holders. Bums on seats Laddie, bums on seats. Equation works out that 50,000 paying a tenner including lowered season ticket prices would be more beneficial. 50,000 bums on seats, season ticket prices would obviously have to drop, but you would probably end up with 50,000 season ticket holders. Guaranteed income.

DK has admitted his faults and paid an not insignificant fine for doing so. He never attempted to cover up anything, unlike the goings on at The Piggery and their deals with Glasgow Celtic Council. Sooner or later the vast degree of corruption and illegal duplicity between Celtic FC and Glasgow Celtic Council will be exposed, and with any luck, the retrospective fine imposed upon them for defrauding the British tax payer will see them confined to the abyss.

Pies, Bovril, programmes, half time draw tickets, Rangers Store customers, 25,000 more people buying stuff. That's the difference

Stuart has started to guide us towards the Light, there are many places where we could still stumble. We must have courage and rely upon our Brothers to guide us through the darkness towards the light.

I know where you are coming from with your post, give an alcoholic money and he will spend it all on booze. I can only hope that he has people looking after him.All that being said, I still think that such a naturally gifted footballer could be found a productive role within our Club. Rangers, we look after our own.

Was at Tynecastle on a Wednesday night when we utterly thrashed Hearts by three goals going on six or seven. The whole Bears support spent the second half singing the Advocaat song. One of my favourite memories amongst many.

I know that they take a lot of stick from some, but you see a brief glimpse of the youngsters of the UB just after the goal goes in and for me it is a joy to see the joy on those lads faces. Say what you like about some of their actions and antics, but they are Bears.

I know one of the architects appointed to the New Piggery Project, his name was John N****n. He informed me that the New Supersty has a build life of 25 years. So basically after 25 years the architects and builders of Mordor will be free of any responsibility once the hovel stars to disintegrate around the Mhanky Mobs ears. I also know several Bears who were employed on the job, suffice to say that their heart was not in the job, and they also commented on the cheapest of cheap materials they were forced to work with. I have it on very good authority that behind many a wall in Darkheid, not seen to the public, is a less than complementary message about Ra Sellick painted on. Suffice to say that once the place collapses I sincerely hope that there is no one present. Too many people have died at football matches over the years. I really would not wish such a fate on anyone for attending a football match no matter how much I loath them

IF we are able to win promotion, then we must, as is our nature, look to win the competition we are in. This may not be possible in the short term, however it is what we must aim for. We are Rangers, we are the most successful football club in the World for a reason. WE DO NOT ACCEPT SECOND BEST. If we get back to the top league, we will have massive crowds, we will have hopefully have had major investment in the squad, we may actually win a trophy and qualify for European football. As said before, winning the Scottish Championship may be beyond us next season if we earn promotion, but it is what we should be aiming for.

It is a White Elephant. Half of that fucking midden has been shut for most of the season. The Mhanks will not admit it, but they are desperate for us to get back to the top division because it is the only hope they have of ever selling out that shithole again.

Despite his struggles this time around, never forget that Kris Boyd scored many a vital goal for us and displayed extreme joy in doing so. Boyd, Boyd, Krissy Krissy Boyd, when he gets the ball he scores a goal, Krissy Krissy Boyd. Some Rangers fans are able to turn on our own people too quickly.

It has been shown time and again that if you make the games more affordable then the people will come. We get 25 to 30K at the moment charging the current prices. Guaranteed to increase if the prices were lowered. It is simple arithmetic, the more people in the ground, the more pies, programmes, half time draw tickets, shirts, scarfs, Rangers Garden Gnomes etc, you sell. Given that safe standing is most definitely on the horizon now then we could have an area of Ibrox now where 7 or 8 thousand could get in for a tenner. Trust me that if we had a safe standing area, then it would be the first to sell out every week.

We have a 50,000+ Stadium. Charge £15 for adults, £5 for Kids and concessions and you will sell out most weeks. Between half an three quarter of a million gate money every home game. Add on to that the pies, programmes and numerous other merchandising opportunities including Fat Cat hospitality then we are talking about £1,000,000 a game at Ibrox. Would you rather have 25,000 paying £30 per head, or 50,000 paying £15. No brainer.

Doubt it. He is a marked man now as far as Refs are concerned. If Jig was to fart too loud on the pitch on Saturday he would be sent off. McCall will not take the chance.

A bit of good news for our favourite Geordie for a change, awarded significant sum as compensation for having his phone hacked by scumbag journos. Latest photos showing him looking well, no headlines recently about him falling off the wagon. Hope you can keep it up Paul. I know that Rangers are not a charity as such, however it would be nice if we could find a role for him somewhere, give him something to work towards, give him the chance to give even more to the Bears who adore him. Give him a purpose in life again.

We should not hesitate for a moment to park the bus. We have done what we need to do. Kill the game stone dead from the first whistle, brick up the goal, boot the ball oot the park hard and often. Do not let Hivs pass the ball, have every player booked if need be, but just get it done. Pleased as we all are after last night, the game is not over yet, watching The Gers over the last few years should have us all well aware of that fact. Who cares if we get slaughtered for playing anti-football if that is what it takes. Get through on Saturday and the rest will take care of itself.
