Any idea why the putty in the windows of the staircases was replaced, I don’t believe the clubs statement today one little bit.
-
Is it being suggested that an RM poster posted a poll that is frankly the work of a sick mind.
-
Is there a point to any of this that involvrs any posters on this board, is being suggested posters here were somehow involved.
I really can’t make much sense out of it.

Is this faction willing to pay off PC, his whole coaching staff and a new squad of players?
Didn't think so...
Hoping Pedro would throw the towel in is possible scenario and wojld cost little or nothing, December pay-offs will be an even bigger problem cash wise.

if buster is posting you know mini murray and the #hiredhands are in a state of agitation
Strange how our club’s latest wheeze TRO was first with a leak,though I hesitate to call it a leak as the board can do as they see fit with club info,even leaking it although that will only widen the split.
Our mutual friend is more than upset about developments in his sphere y’day,raging would be an apt description of his reaction?

Some people absolutely willing and needing KM to be the leak,humble pie may soon be the order of the day.

KM is an under 20’s coach,good enough for me and there I leave it.

Kenny Miller has signed a one year extension to his current contract with Rangers.
The 35-year-old former Scotland international is in his third spell at Ibrox and has scored five goals in 13 appearances so far this season.
Having made a total of 201 appearances in the Light Blue, Miller hit 81 goals since making his first appearance for the Ibrox side against FBK Kaunas in July 2000 after making a £2m move from Easter Road to Glasgow.
Miller has also taken on a coaching role with the Rangers Under-20s, where he will alongside Ian Durrant in helping develop young talent at Ibrox.

And talking of cruelties, he need only look across the Clyde to see how the game has chosen to turn on a player who, throughout a long, illustrious career, has been nothing but one of its most model professionals.
Kenny Miller spent yesterday afternoon playing in a bounce game for kids at Brentford. At the age of 37.
While Strachan was naming that Scotland squad at lunchtime on Monday, Miller was walking into a crisis meeting at Murray Park which would turn his world on its head.
Miller must have suspected something bad was brewing from the moment Pedro Caixinha told him to stay at home with his feet up on the night Rangers were playing for a place in the League Cup semi final at Firhill.
On these very pages last Monday morning this column suggested that the relationship between the club’s talisman and its manager was in danger of breaking down in a throwback to the stand off between Paul le Guen and Barry Ferguson which preceded the Frenchman’s demise.
By Thursday, Miller had been banished to the youth department.

Watch Chris Sutton call out the Rangers leaker as 'a rat'
By Friday night TV pundits were tossing around words like ‘rat’ live on BT Sport while discussing his predicament, language which is completely unfounded.
To make matters even more sinister, Miller was also accused of leaking information directly to this newspaper on a website which has very obvious and well established links with the malfunctioning Rangers PR machine.
The same website, for that matter, which leaked news of Caixinha’s Murray Park meltdown in the first place - while presenting it as a stroke of managerial genius in a painfully transparent, Pravda-esque attempt at controlling the narrative.

The entire episode is an absolute mess and, shamefully, it’s Miller who has been made to pay the ultimate price for this rank amateurism. Years and years of dedication to his sport in the name of squeezing every last ounce of ability out of his body now tarnished by a manager who is out of his depth in charge of Rangers and a whispering campaign which has been maliciously designed to maximise reputational damage.
You can almost hear them saying ‘Aye well, the Record would say that, wouldn’t they? He’s their leak after all!’
So let’s get this absolutely and categorically clear for all of those Rangers observers out there. Kenny Miller was not the source of the information around which we wrote the story of Caixinha declaring war on his own players. Nor, for that matter, was it Miller who told us of Caixinha’s subsequent decision to drop him from the squad which travelled to Hamilton on Friday night.
To suggest otherwise is not only a wilful fabrication but also potentially libelous should Miller’s lawyers decide to act. But for this to be published on a website which sits so snugly under the wing of the club’s outsourced PR department? That’s a scandalous state of affairs and one which points to some very serious issues behind the scenes of this never ending Ibrox soap opera.
Miller is neither a rat nor a snitch. He is a victim of an inexperienced, egotistical manager who is struggling to command the respect of his dressing room and who thinks, by taking out the talisman, he will bring the rest of them into line. And of a Machiavellian attempt at character assassination.

He’ll have to ride this one out now because Caixinha doesn’t appear to be a man of compromise. There is unlikely to be sufficient space inside the same dressing room for both men from here on in so it looks likely that one of them will soon have to make way.
Over three separate terms at Rangers Miller has spent seven years, played 211 times and scored 89 goals. He’s won three top flight titles, one in the championship, and lifted both the Scottish and the League Cups.
If he is forced out before time is called on Caixinha then he will leave behind the sort of legacy about which the manager can only dream.
In the brutal world of football, one man’s adversity is another man’s opportunity. Accordingly Caixinha must now grasp this chance to save himself from the chop, Likewise, Carlos Pena must step into Miller’s shoes and prove that he’s not just another one of the manager’s mistakes.

Firstly, I am not inviting anyone into giving the daily rhabid's site hit's, but only to reinforce a point in not doing the hate filled mhedia's job for them, but of course by all means have a look, if you have the need. I ventured on to the site to see how balanced the reporting was after our 4-1 victory and the scum's dysfunctional draw and I wasn't surprised........
So the taig infested mhedia continue in their campaign of hate in doing their utmost to destabilise our club, with the latest article in a long line, from one Gordon Waddell again ringing out his own unique brand of demonising propaganda. It all reads perfect sense, if you are gullible enough.
Now it appears to be a thinly veiled attempt at calling on Mark Allen to sack our manager, on the basis of an "if" Pedro has let his dressing room slip that far from his grasp then their is no retrieving it.
This spinless muckraker didn't even have the courage to leave out the if, so once again a piece of shit stirring at it's finest to meddle in the affairs of our club and a nice piece of propaganda to make sure some of the shite sticks, knowing some of the gullible among us will salivitate over it. Job done. This arrogant bastard must think we are all such fools as he is fucking green looking to fall for this shite.
The last thing Allen needs is another rhabid loving bastard telling him how to do his job, and whilst Waddell is at it, he goes on to say how the board made the DOF appointment the wrong way round, so he could pick his own man. Just to add more poison to the ingredients. Is it any coincidence they point this out now?
Now our board may be many things, but they are not such stupid cunts to have that no mark cunt to infer they didn't do their job right.
Just another thinly veiled attempt to undermine the club. In the bigger scheme of things, this assembly line of poison does nothing to attract the investment we badly need and just all to do with the toxification of our brand to prevent any.
Waddell is just another a cunt, in a long line of cunts along who wish to see us dead.
Scan this taig infested mhedia site and you find not one negative story on the scum. Nothing about their dismal performance against hivs, but plenty of negativity on our 4-1 victory over the Accies. God forbid if the scum lost, there would be a tidal wave against us, just to deflect away from them. They don't even try to hide it anymore.
We are well aware of the exact reason for these articles and none of it is for our good health and well being, so as tempting as an article maybe, or as plausible the article may seem, those among us who are tempted to piggy back such articles because it happens to fall in line with a personal view, then please think again about what you are about to do, because it that is exactly the author's objective.
In this particular one, the mhedia are well aware of the divided opinion on Pedro, but they don't stop there, lets try and poison the mind of our latest employee and have him complete the job for them.
By all means criticise when it's merited, but please not at the behest of hate filled excuses of journos. Don't let ourselves to be so gullible and easily picked off.
In summary, in his very cowardly and thinly veiled opinion, we can do fuck all all right, with him setting about having our manager sacked, telling our latest employee how to do his job, our board being incompetent and lastly demonising our brand in an attempt to stave of investors. It may even all be true, but this is our club and our board will do the telling and not some hate filled no mark with a broken pencil.
Let's not do their job for them. Time to close ranks.
fill your boots,a prime suspect?

THE organisers of the cancelled Eusebio Cup have insisted they DON’T blame Gers fans for the scrapping of the clash between Rangers and Benfica in Canada.
Elite Soccer Entertainment’s CEO Fernando Pacheco had said Rangers fans were slow to snap up tickets for the glamour clash.

Rangers fans aren’t to blame for scrapping of Eusebio Cup insists organisers
The Hamilton Spectator in Canada quoted Pacheco as saying: “Portuguese fans had been responding to the visit, Rangers fans had not.
“Twenty seven per cent of Hamilton has a Scottish background.
“After what they’ve been through the past few years and fought back, there should be support. But they were not buying tickets.”
But Elite Soccer Entertainment have released a statement saying they don’t blame Gers supporters.
While admitting that poor ticket sales was a factor, they stress that they aren’t pointing the finger at any supporters.
The statement read: “Elite Soccer Entertainment would like to apologize to the fans, SL Benfica & Rangers Football Club for the match cancellation of the 2017 Eusébio Cup edition, which was scheduled to be played on the 6th of October in Hamilton, Canada.
“Due to unforeseen reasons and poor ticket sales it was not possible for ESE to meet the commitments acquired towards Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Glasgow Rangers under the terms and conditions that were agreed upon.
“This situation goes beyond the control or responsibility of any of the clubs above mentioned.

“ESE has the utmost respect for Benfica, Rangers and especially the fans. There has been numerous rumors and speculations blaming Rangers supporters for not purchasing enough tickets.
“That is a false statement and Elite Soccer Entertainment would like to put it to rest.
“We deeply regret what has happened, and we would like to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconveniences that may have been caused to the clubs involved and to their supporters.
“As well to Eusébio da Silva Ferreira’s family, all of whom deserve our greatest respect to Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Glasgow Rangers, and institutions of international renown we wish the biggest success and we hope to work together sometime in the near future.”
