Isn't it a shame a heart and a brain don't come in a two for one package?

ARE! There ARE a few trumpets. And I don't want to join in.

I shouldn't worry. If Swansea want him neither @rse cheek could compete.

Not to mention the venom he is directing at those down Greenhill Road. Spookily familiar.

I have to admit Airdie's change was done quietly enough as to escape my attention but, if I had heard about it, I would have suggested a motive for doing so and it wouldn't have been to placate those who support the new diamonds. Think about the timeline Bud. ETA. I certainly was vocal in decrying ANY attempt to get the rangers into the league and I wasn't alone on here or on other platform.

I thought the dungvermin player should have walked with Ecks but it wouldn't have made a difference to the debacle.

The Scotsman has it too but you have to laugh: Swansea has already thrown its hat in the ring to sign St Mirren midfielder Lewis Morgan in January but the club may have stiff opposition from both Rangers and Celtic. Stiff opposition? Aye. Right. As stiff as a pissed up 90 year old looking at a woman ten years his senior!

Aye. But perhaps they would have noticed each other and recognised the opposition as the passed us by. ETA. I was hoping for us to have the final say yesterday, even though it would have been token but not the one/s we had in the last couple of minutes.

That's the very crux of the matter. They CLAIM to be the same club. Their followers CLAIM it's the same club. The inept custodians of our game openly allow the new club to display the badge and the list of "honours" from the old club to be brandished everywhere, including on their shirts to further maintain the illusion that it's the same club. Those in power are just hoping the rest of us get fed up and go silent so they don't find themselves being caught complicit in the lies and wrongdoings of the old club and it's now proven deceitful methods of player recruitment. They hope everybody will move on from the fact they allowed a brand new club with no historical trace to be catapulted into the league set up at the expense of clubs who have been waiting years to have the privilege. It's astounding that they are getting away with this. At the very least, an open, honest enquiry will prevent this lot from repeating the folly when, and I do believe it's when, the newco jumps over the financial ledge with their lemmings in tow. ETA. If there are any lemmings in any doubt RANGERS ARE DEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were in danger of thinking this was going to be a cake walk so, as after the Morton debacle, I hope this is another wake up call. We will need to score more than one to win so I'm hoping for a good performance and another 3 in the opposition's net.

I don't actually agree that it was "sorted". It was muddled through with Armageddon being the CLAIMED alternative. The honesty I mentioned certainly wasn't to the fore. Clubs' directors voted with their wallets. Fans forced them to vote for slightly less than they wanted. We still get the nonsense spouted that rangers were demoted. That was clearly not the case as, even today, Rangers are still being liquidated. I know folk will go on about rehashing but that is not the case. It's a new ball game since the highest court in the land has decreed that rangers were guilty of tax avoidance. I reiterate that I don't care how many titles they might lose because they can't win any more. I admit I still smart when I think of what our board had to do to gain entry to the top league and what they had to sacrifice. In the end it culminated in us losing our ancestral home. Yet fans of the govan mob can still attend the same ground when it should have been sold off along with their car park and training ground to pay the old clubs debts. But that is not the sole motive for my hope for the investigation. Honesty and integrity are fast becoming even more a second concern to cash and it would be good to redress the balance at the top of our game.

Shull and faraway should be revered and treasured on this forum

I agree Drew. It would certainly make us poorer but the Scottish football hierarchy made the mess. They, and that includes us, should foot the bill. It's not the government's mess. It's the football authorities. If there are legal implications, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, then the state can intervene. For our club to say nothing is an act of complicity.

I am in agreement with you about trying not to read fictitious stories but I don't want to put you on ignore so that's a dilemma.

It's about far more than that. It's about the proper, honest governing of our game. It's about who knew what, and just as importantly, when. It's about why the deed club were allowed to get away with things. It should also be about why the new club were allowed to circumvent rules to be allowed to start life in the bottom rung of our professional league. The whole episode needs to be looked at. This is a case where dirty linen should be publicly washed. I hope it happens and, at the end of the process, we rid ourselves of those who were complicit and hopefully be seen to be doing something about it. I don't give a flying fcuk about titles. Those in the green part, and I deliberately say part as they are not Half of Glasgow's clubs, may want some sort of petty point scoring vendetta but for the rest of us this should be about cleaning up our game and shipping those out who sullied our collective name internationally.
