    The handling of this by the relevant authorities in this country has been nothing short of sickening. 
     

    the victims and their families deserve justice and the truth. 

    They may very well get the justice they seek but it'll be no where near the justice they deserve and as for the truth.

    Some truth will come out but whole truth will never see the light of day due to the scale of the cover up that's gone on and continues to go on and will continue after this thing has ran it's course.......imo of course

    Why is this not everywhere, this is the biggest scandal in sport, there's enough out there already and still it's sweeped under the carpet, 80 victims and almost certainly more who've not been identified, murder, suicide, bodged investigations, this horror must be connected to very high places in society, I can't think of any other reason for this to stay buried like this.

    That's the scary part of this.

    One way of looking at it. The other is the last few games they are only just getting over the line. Could easily start to turn. 

    How many games did we do that last season?

    Playing to the final whistle was taught to us at a very young age so it's nothing new.

    Will they drop points between now and the end of the season? I'd like to think so but when you don't take your chances the way we simply haven't been doing all season and can't defend simple crosses into the 6 yd box the way we've been doing forever then this is what you get.

    All that being said it's only 3 points but it's the goal difference and that is where not taking the chances you create comes into it.

    Know what I love about this?

    I'm 36. These wee guys look about a decade/generation younger than me. I remember seeing us beat Lyon 3-0 away in a pub wae the auld boy. Here these wee guys are probably the same age watching the game in front of an expensive computer with all sorts of gadgets streaming to thousands of people live. Couldn't be more different from my setup watching the Lyon game in 2007 however those emotions, those screams, those wee tears of sheer adulation at each goal probably sounded exactly the same as me all the way back then. Great to see no matter how many things change the raw emotion of fitba stays the same.

    I was the same the night we won the ECWC in 72 m8 running about with a Rangers flag waving it like a 16 yr old maddy.

    I’m 43 this year.

    Older bears will want 3-2 away win (the Bobby Russell goal) over PSV in European Cup to be considered too.

    Having said that, the gulf in the relative player values means last night is probably tops.

    To get Lundstram, Jack and Arfield for nothing and see them boss players costing tens of millions was superb. And Kent showed (even just for Lundstram goal alone) why £7M was good business too.

    I was at the Apollo that night to see AC/DC then went into the Lunar Seven for a pint afterwards to watch the highlights without knowing the score.

    There was a lot of unhappy bheasts in there when I let out a yell as Bobby Russell slotted home that goal,,,,,,which was nice.

    That was as first class a performance from a Rangers side as I've seen in a while.

    Lost a couple of goals through allowing them to run direct at us through the middle but hey ho that's a top top side we beat tonight and if you'd offered me 4-2 Rangers before a ball was kicked I'd have bit your hand off for that.

    Plenty of plaudits to go around though with , for me anyway , Jack , Lundstram , Bassey and Kent as the standouts with a very confidence boosting performance in the 2nd half by Barasic.

    It's far from over but it's good to be in the driving seat in the tie and I look forward to seeing how GVB approaches the game at Ibrox.

    How in the name of fuck can the higher ups that run the game in Scotland sit back and accept that standard of refereeing on a consistent level without doing something about it?

    That was as blatant a penalty as you'll ever see and a laughingly brutal non call .

    Willie Collum - call him out Rangers

    In no way am I sticking up for Referees here especially Collum who I thought was very poor , to say the least , but the ones who should be helping the referees more get off without a complaint at all and that is the lines men.

    Time and time again they refuse to flag for incidents that happen right in front of them and what Kevin Thomson said on RTV was bang on about that's how frustration builds when Referees don't make the calls they should be making.

    Is there an arrogance in Scottish officials that they're the ones in charge and tell linesmen to leave the calls on the field up to them?

    Think the proactive/reactive is bang on. We kept talking about holding onto our players as a huge achievement but it feels like we've just stagnated because of it. They aren't hungry anymore. We probably should have shifted 1/2/3 of them and used the money to bring in the next batch of players. 

    They've always talked about this model of buying low and selling high but outside of Patterson we never actually do it. We had guys at high values after winning the league and I know teams have got to be interested but I'm sure we could have made a fair chunk out of a few of them. 

    Now they are all approaching 12 months left on their contracts and we aren't even reaping the rewards on the pitch. 

    The great Bill Shankly once said that the key to keeping a winning team was knowing the right time to make changes to the team even though some of the changes would be unpopular. That the right changes at the right time kept the team fresh and hungry.

    I think what you've just said equates to what he said many years ago and by that way of thinking the horse has bolted and we've reached to close the gate a little too late.

    Time will tell here and basically it's all in the players hands from now on.

    1988 FA cup final......First whistle Vinny Jones totally cements Steve(can't remember his name) in the first 5 seconds.....it laid down the foundation for Wimbledon to win the cup....I'm quite sure that was a tactic in the dressing room before a ball was kicked.....Boyd has rightly called it out without saying (go and hurt him) seriously mate we are becoming weak if we bow tow to them

    Boydy's got a point absolutely as that used to be the way the game was played back in the day.

    John Grieg did it to Davie Cooper when it took Rangers 3 goes at knocking Clydebank in a LC tie in the  70's and DC kept on picking himself up and going at Grieg every chance he got and not long after that game DC was wearing a Rangers jersey.

    The old cry of "put him up in the air inside the first five minutes" is a thing of the past sad to say as there's far too many players nowadays who wouldn't look out of place on Broadway.

    A man dies and goes to heaven, as he’s standing at the pearly gates he notices a huge wall of clocks behind St Peter. He asked what are all those clocks? St Peter says these are lie clocks, every time someone tells a lie the hands move, Oh says the man, who’s clock is that ? He says pointing. That’s Mother Theresa's clock the hands have never moved , said St Peter, wow says the man, And who’s clock is that ? That’s Abraham Lincolns clock the hands have only ever moved twice said St Peter, where’s Peter Lawwell's clock asked the man ? St Peter said we’re using it as a ceiling fan .
