Guest Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Some folk are so bitter man. Gough is a Rangers legend and is well suited and deserving of the role.

the goal machine 7,813 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's very strange that Rangers supporters would be bitter at one of the club's greatest ever players being involved with the club as an ambassador. Loads of clubs have legends as ambassadors yet it's a negative when we do it? Seems like it's just being used an excuse to have a go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Will Follow Rangers 13,005 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Could we really appoint an outsider to the role? Its Global Ambassador, not head of marketing. cant think of many better qualified to fit this position.Delighted with Richards appointment, he's intelligent, articulate has passion for the club and will be a perfect ambassador for the club.

King Jela 20,659 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Where's this supposed bitterness people keep mentioning ? Are we not allowed to question why we'd even need a global ambassador or even just understand what the job is ? Or is that question too bitter ?
