pcbear 10,924 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Originally it was 'Aye Work Awa', which was then changed to 'Ready Aye Ready', subsequently shortened to 'Aye Ready' and in 1966 to 'Ready'. "The change in 1966 was explained as being a modernising move, but in fact it was so that the badge could be legally incorporated"Robert McElroy.

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 A Scottish poet, Joseph Wright wrote...AYE WORK AWA'. Help yoursel' whaure'er ye gang Aye work awa' ! 'Mang the simmer's sunshine an' the cheerless winter's snaw, Never lippen to yer freens tho' they may loudly blaw Help yoursel' whaure'er ye gang Aye work awa' ! Fortune favours them wha work aye wi' a busy haun' ; Folk'll ne'er win forrit if they at the fira-en' staun' ; Look before ye loup baith in meikle things an' sma' ; Tak' a' things in a canny way, an' aye work awa'. I have no idea if this is Rangers related, or it might just be that "Aye work awa'" was a popular old fashioned turn of phrase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald de Bear 44 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It has NEVER at any time in our history said "AYE READY" on any of the crests mounted at either end of the Main Stand.It has ALWAYS said "READY"The crest on the old Press Box above the Main Stand also said "READY" and never "AYE READY" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 This has been a question that rears its head every now and again, and no one ever seems to be able to supply a picture of the stand with "Aye Ready" on it.I say it never was there.It was there.....................

allgers 735 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Alway think of the club motto as Aye Ready, it's got a good honest feel about it, better than that latin pish some other clubs have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
