Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they gave hibs Allan and stokes the old fenien connection

Stones and the stinking wee fuck pig rat bastard will strengthen them

I had trouble figuring out which one was the wee fuck pig rat bastard. Pretty good description of both those cunts

Don't think the Allan one will happen, he wouldn't to go back the same season he left for European football. Even wallowing in the reserves would be preferable to dropping back that quickly.

The Stokes one is believable as he's nowhere near their first team these days.

Dunno if you heard but they are out Europe. No more european football for the turncoat this season

Stokes is up in court in Dublin on the 20th of January for serious assault. Nobody will go near him until he gets past that. Hopefully justice prevails and he gets the jail.

Funny how nobody in the press seem aware of it.

I've never worried about who hibs are going to sign and I won't be starting now. Let them sign who they want. As our manager keeps saying it about what rangers do & I'm sure we'll be making a few signings of our own.

Did anybody see the Sutton article? Bitter fucking cunt and does not try to hide it. AIDS would be wasted on this bitter cunt

What's that clown saying ?

Basically we have fucked up Scottish football and its up to us to fix it, Scottish football shouldn't change leagues to accommodate us etc the usual mate. If I ever seen him on the street ..

that's ridiculous I had no ideA, if it was a Rangers player everybody would have knew

This thread how dare our nearest challengers try and strengthen their squad to win the league!!! Don't they know the rules?

[piperpete 3,186]

Stubbs was hinting at something for January. They really will go to any lengths to prevent us going up.

Think thats Stubbs job to go to any lengths to stop us winning the league. The headlines should help all at Ibrox to achieve our goal.

[HG5 11,299]

Dont think they would let the turncoat go as they seem to use him now and dont thing liewell could face another year without the blue pound.

I liked the bit where he set up Ajax's winner the best!

he was smiling like the cat that got the cream - i think the sun is spot on here.

[Liam_RFC 238]

We win the next 2 games and the league is done

They will only have one more shot at us after that and we will be 6 clear (more like 7)

And if we had beating them at Easter road we would have been 11 points clear ... But we didn't now we're level on points nothing is certain anymore the way we're playing

[Bristoe1872 2,614]

Although it's none of our business who Hivs bring in,i can't help but have a bit of a sour taste in my mouth over this and can only imagine the reaction if the shoe was on the other foot.

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

Clearly Rangers cant control who other clubs sign. But it may well suit the other lot and perhaps some other clubs in the top league see Hibs go up automatically this season. It gives other top league clubs better competition next season, reintroduces an Edinburgh derby for TV, means Hibs take points of other clubs like Aberdeen and Hearts and anyone who might remotely offer a weak challenge for the title .....and make for an easier title for the other lot to win on their path to 10 and more in a row (which is their obvious objective)..........and at the same time see us continue to be financially weakened and established as a Championship club who cant break out because it cant assemble a team that has the bottle to fight its way out or a manager who has the experience or bottle to lead the team out. A perfect world for those whose original agenda has not altered - if Rangers cannot be put out of business then at least have Rangers weakened so that we reach a near permanent state of weakness.

Too much to believe? Too far off the mark? Whether it is or is not is irrelevant. As it was last season, and as it is this season it is entirely up to the Rangers manager and players to get the job of promotion done and for the Board to find the money to get the job of promotion done - this season. But while they appoint people to jobs with an eye on the future, and talk of acquiring players with next season in mind, and continue to behave like a top flight club on the way the infrastructure of the club is run (as though we were already shoe-horned into the top flight)..............but allow the sort of form and results dip we are seeing in recent months then they may yet find they have failed to keep their eye on the prize that needs to be won this season and to instil the bottle to achieve it.

Hibs built last season and continued to build. We started a rebuild this season after a disaster last season. The momentum being gained by Hibs at this time, if matched by continued dip (becoming a slump) in our results could see a decent points gap in their favour come the start of Feb.....and with a strengthened squad for the run in to May. What then Mr Warburton with your experimental youth signings who are not now delivering? And what then about statements about only needing 1 or 2 players in the transfer window? And what then about the quality of the squad to deliver - does it have the bottle - does Warburton have the leadership skills to get more out of these players? Will he need another season to do as Hibs did and build from this season - will that be the line being taken come May? Will that be acceptable to King and the Board - more money for no return? Whether they like it or not, whether they acknowledge it or not - the pressure is building. They just need to ask McCoist, McDowell (who is still on the books anyway) and McCall about pressure at Rangers. Its the way it is -they ether deal with it or we see a re-run of last season.
