Alex Rae is a blue nose apologist, it’s cringeworthy. “Scottish football needs a strong Rangers”, aye right, here’s your arse Rae In fairness they both had good points to make. Scotland may not need a strong Rangers but it does need a competitive league in order to attract better sponsorship, TV income etc. which leads to better players, better European performances and a better national team. It's a virtuous cycle. For Souness to be talking about Scottish football dying is just utter pish. Rae to his credit did concede that Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen, Hearts etc don't NEED a strong Rangers in the end. His problem is that he is confusing a competitive league with that competition to Celtic naturally and solely coming from Rangers. English's problem was that he wasn't answering the perfectly reasonable point about an uncompetitive league losing sponsorship money over time because he was so obsessed with defeating the "strong Rangers" point that he wasn't actually getting to the root of the issue. Rae certainly didn't get his arse handed to him. It was a pretty decent discussion from both. Edited October 28, 2017 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestically, loss of sponsorship money in the short term may be a valid point but who needs a strong Rangers most - Celtic & ex-OF players like Rae who make their living off the rivalry.

Rae was as you say “confused”on that point, English certainly put him right, Rae conceded, that’s what I heard, a fan boy letting his blue specs confuse him. So why split hairs, just concede that English owned him on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody got "owned", "slammed", "crushed" or any other ridiculous expression. Edited October 28, 2017 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that they can't compete with the other ugly sister who continue to build up an impressive war chest [emoji41]Unfortunately for the rangers the business plan fell another year behind schedule back at the start of July.

Russian Saint Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Whatever happened to the “Financial Fair Play” rules?• 6.7 million loss in revenue last season.• operating costs of 32 million.• over 15 million in debt to interest free loans.• Over 7 million required for the next two seasons.SEVCO are relying on European football to bring down their debt? That’s a bit like walking into a car showroom, putting down a deposit and saying I’ll pay the rest of I win the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linwood buddie Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Former Motherwell and Celtic striker Andy Walker believes Chris Cadden and Louis Moult will carry the main threat to Brendan Rodgers' Invincibles at Hampden on Sunday. (Scottish Daily Mail, newspaper edition) When does it stop getting embarrassing for folk to use the moniker "Invincibles" ? A 7-1 hammering does'nt seem to do it.
