tommy2212 151 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Sad news, it was a good rangers pub Hello folks, This morning I handed back the keys of the pub to the management company. In the many years of running the pub we’ve had great times and made many new friends. It has been a ball. Sadly, the last year or so has been very, very tough for us and our punters. As the pub was leased we were paying a high rent and with the current economic climate the sums sadly no longer add up. In past years the Glaswegian has been a bastion of Rangers and Loyalism in the Gorbals - legendary owners like Harry Heenan and John Carmichael have given it a tremendous history - I hope when the economic climate changes someone else will pick up the banner. This week the Glaswegian was at it’s best - full of football and friendship - two Rangers games and a couple of days with our Hamburg friends. It was nice to go out on a high. No doubt I’ll bump into many of you in the future at games or parades. On behalf of Sharon, myself and all the staff I’d like to say thanks for all your support over the years. We had some wonderful times. All the best. BIG SAM I hope someone brings it back to life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Terrible news, was in there on Thursday before the game and it was bouncing. Wonder what will happen to the Hamburg SC now? Never nice to see a Rangers pub go under. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEDIGNITY 33,749 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Don't see them trying to force the closure of ira slophouses in the gallowgate and surrounding area. That city chambers must be cleaned out soon ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamroller 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Far too many good Rangers boozers have shut down in recent years - The Clachan and Wallace spring to mind. Hope something gets sorted with it soon, was never a regular in the Glassy, drank in it only a couple of times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy2212 151 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 GCC will be rubbing their hands over this I don't think bluevalebomber (sam) posts on RM but if you do - good luck in the future and if that hovil '' the stadium bar'' ever comes on the market snap it up. That needs a rangers man to get rid of the bheggers in it. Absolute disgrace when a good bar like the glaswegian is closing its doors and a ta rrier pub like the stadium bar is thriving on bears matchday money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Newells Sexist Army 2 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Never good to hear about a Rangers pub closing. All the best to the owners for the future. This will also be bad news for future Subcrawls in Glasgow. Wasn't a Rangers pub, but subcrawl related the Honours Three on Shields Road shut down and is now an Italian restaurant meaning you need to go Paisley Road Toll instead.
