Bears r us 30,823 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I don't care about ten of the eleven, bit I think McCullouch deserved better than being quietly released like he has been.Putting personal thoughts on him to the side, you can't deny that he's a player who's made a big contribution to the club over the last decade - eight years service, nearly 300 apperances and spending the past the past three years as our captain.I know this won't be a popular post but I don't really care. Some sort of acknowledgement that a player with that level of service behind him is leaving is the type of classy and dignified way I would hope the club would act, even if I'm not the biggest fan of McCulloch as a player.As long as he is away Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrox_Nights 429 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The likes of the painter and decorator barely deserve a large door hitting them square in the arse as they're booted out for the final time, much less any thanks from Rangers supporters.A horrible little bastard who should have been given his jotters the day he decided to bet against the club he was playing for; moreover he should be thankful anyone was ever remotely stupid enough to let to play for a team like Rangers.Half these wallopers have failed in getting us out of the second tier of an ever decreasing standard of Scottish football; all the while being payed as the second highest earners in the country by a long chalk. They'll be getting fuck all praise from me whilst they manfully negotiated two part time leagues, batling against posties and the local plod.On huge (relative) wages and being utter mince would have been bad enough, however, the fact half of them have sauntered through these last three years not looking like (and sometimes admitting) they couldn't give a flying fuck is the final kick in the tea-towel holder for me.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Fair enough I can see that side of it aswell. A select few of them may have tried their hardest and I can appreciate that a lot of them weren't good enough. But I refuse to believe they are as shite as they played this year. They are all supposedly professional footballers and the majority have had successful careers. I would say the players and management are both to blame. Unfortunately in my mind the players that played this year will be forever tainted by their contribution to the worst season in our historyHard to swallow and to understand, but they were that bad. For what reason I don't know. Some in the likes of Boyd were just past it.I wouldn't give any of them a second chance, as you just couldn't trust them and the the one thing we need next season is consistency, with the ability to take us up at the first time of asking and that will take significant investment and a manager who as an eye for a player that also possesses the right attitude.We may not have quality to be the Rangers of old when you could literally guarantee a win week in week out in the top league, but we should be well capable of doing so in this league, rather like Hertz done I may say and better. We at least with our financial clout be able to achieve this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was part of the three title winning teams and was a vital part of the team that got to the UEFA cup final and that fantastic season. He stuck around when others fled, deserves the utmost respect.

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 A statement was released to announce that five players from the youth team had moved on. On course you would expect the club to announce that ten first team players had left.It obviously isn't official, yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 McCulloch deserved better than his departure being confirmed by King's "yes, they're gone" comment. He deserves more than to be categorised with the likes of Faure and co.I also don't understand why there was no official statement by the club when all eleven first team players' contracts expired and they moved on. There was an article on the website to inform us that five youth players had left, but nothing about 50% of our entire first team.What the fuck?
