Popular Post Broxi 11,504 Posted August 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2018 As we all know we've been down in the lower leagues for seasons, now had 2 shite seasons back in the Premiership finishing 3rd both times. On top of that we've spent a lot of money (whether you like King or not) on building a team from scratch 3 times to get us back to the top. We've had no European football for years, we've had no major transfer sales in years and we've been pumped in almost every Old Firm game we've played. For years the only team in Scotland to play in Europe has been celtic, Aberdeen and Hibs never have a chance of qualifying it's just how it is. Today is significant for so many reasons. Today puts us back to the top. We've put ourselves back in the prestige above Aberdeen and Hibs etc and we're now back to being a European football club, where we belong. Not only that, this was one of the most important milestone steps in the journey back. We get promoted to the Premiership, we qualify for Europe. We've just crossed that big milestone today. If we want to get back to competing with celtic we need European football the money it brings. Europa League isn't megabucks but it's an extra £8m or so minimum, it gives us a stage to expand the Rangers brand again, put our name back out there in Europe and will do wonders for sponsorships, recognition and increasing the values of our players. Today wasn't just about making the group stages, it was a big step in our return. Great achievement.

Popular Post govanblue 16,847 Posted August 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2018 It means that the RM Erskine Fund has to find a load more cash to pay for all these midweek home games! Which means we need to renew our calls for new members, if we want to keep our Veterans at Ibrox. If you haven't already donated the traditional tenner to the RM Erskine Fund this season, then yes I'm talking to You !!! Read this thread and then donate, or I'll be lodging eligibility papers with UEFA in the morning!!... bornabear, Wullies_bowly_legs, Blue Avenger and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
