McCulloch being in charge will make victory even sweeter

Was a fan of McGhee when he played for us but obviously didn't appreciate what an arsehole he was as a human being and that's what really hurts now. Have no respect for him nowadays.

I understand anyone's cynicism regarding my random comment and appreciate it run the risk of being proved wrong. My source is a well known and reasonably respected scottish journalist. I can't however reveal their name, so respect folks choice as to whether they believe it or not.

McInnes is NOT a Rangers man. Trust me on that

Nine years ago today. Bayern at Pittodrie Ah the memories Fast forward four years from that day and The Huns enter administration

Al is pleased by this news. McGinn next ?

Aye same here, cunts at Virgin blocking sites.

"Dave King's refusal to fund moves for Aberdeen's Jonny Hayes and West Ham youngster Reece Oxford confirmed that trust at Ibrox was broken beyond repair. AS in most relationship breakdowns, there was fault on both sides. It’s just unfortunate for Rangers that this one had to end so bitterly and amid such acrimony, farce and rancour. Let’s be clear, for some weeks now the main protagonists inside the old curiosity shop of Ibrox knew Mark Warburton’s time at the club was effectively already up. He was a lame-duck manager from the moment he was summoned to a board meeting like a naughty schoolboy, shoving jotters down the back of his pants while on the receiving end of a withering appraisal from his bosses. Anyone who has had any dealings with Warburton during his 18 months in Glasgow will testify that the Englishman does not respond well to even the most constructive of criticism. When a manager finds himself yelling “I’m not thin skinned!” at every second press conference then it’s usually a sure sign that he is. So chairman Dave King and his board of directors must surely have known Warburton was likely to react badly to having his trousers pulled down by his superiors and his performance given such a brutal spanking. If they were wishing to sicken him then this was a smart way of going about it. But it was a subsequent refusal by the board to back their man with more of their money in the final few days of the January transfer market which meant that Warburton’s time was unquestionably over. Having highlighted problems within his team, King and his men then denied him the opportunity to fix them. It was at this point – when all remaining trust had gone – that the divorce ought to have been cemented and made official. Warburton had wanted to recruit at least two players. One of them was West Ham’s talented teenager Reece Oxford, who was available on loan at a knockdown price. The other was Aberdeen’s talisman Jonny Hayes, who would have cost in the region of £1million. Oxford is a central defender who can also operate as a specialised midfield anchor – a role which Warburton was never able to fill despite all of his many flurries into the transfer market. Hayes would have been viewed by the management team as an upgrade on Michael O'Halloran, who would in turn have been allowed to leave the club on loan. Whether or not these players would have significantly improved the performance level of Warburton’s team is now a matter of conjecture. Also, having pumped so much of their own hard earned into bankrolling the club, King and his men had every right to ask serious questions of how Warburton was spending it given that so few of his most recent 11 purchases have proved to be value for money. Of course they did. But, having done so, they took it one huge step further by deciding they could no longer invest their faith in the manager. The fact the board were not interested in facilitating either of these deals is critical to the narrative of Warburton’s demise. At that moment there was nowhere left this relationship to run. It was no longer a case of IF Warburton was going to go, just a matter of when and in what circumstances. Perhaps, on reflection, King and his directors will wish they had handled things differently rather than allow it to deteriorate into such an unedifying, tawdry episode. They should have acted swiftly and professionally by thanking Warburton, Davie Weir and Frank McParland for their best efforts, paying them up as contractually obliged and sending them on their way. But that would have cost more than £1m. Instead, they triggered a period of internal suspicion and intense paranoia. As a stand-off developed between the boardroom and the dugout, so the atmosphere inside the club became increasingly toxic. Warburton suspected influential figures were working against him at a time when he was in need of the support of his own club. That rather than help him achieve success, they sought to undermine and manipulate. On the other side of this divide, King and the board convinced themselves that Warburton and his wing men were working their ticket, leaking sensitive information to this newspaper and digging an escape tunnel back to England. On top of all this, chairman and manager were already completely estranged. Until that bad-tempered exchange in the boardroom, they had not held a conversation since last May, when King was doubling the terms of Warbs’ contract through gritted teeth. So this messy split was inevitable. It was only a question of how it would come to an end. Or, more specifically, how much it would cost. When Warburton’s representative suggested that the most elegant solution would be to allow the management team to move elsewhere without haggling over club-to-club compensation, King appears to have spotted an opportunity to force them out for free. And so now the matter is hurtling towards yet another angry courtroom squabble with Warburton, Weir and McParland still wondering how they find themselves out of work without one of them tendering a letter of resignation. The agent’s role in this mess should not be overlooked. His attempt at offering an olive branch as a solution appears to have been a spectacular tactical blunder. But while King might believe he has seized an opportunity and acted ruthlessly, saving the club a small fortune, he also cost Rangers another huge chunk of its own credibility, not to mention its dignity with that farce on Friday night. To compound this the following day by releasing a statement, the tone of which was needlessly snide and hugely insulting towards Warburton and Hall of Famer Weir, was unbecoming of his chair. King’s words may have packed a punch – while pandering to his public – but they were severely lacking in class. In parts, they also made very little sense. How can it be, for example, that the contracts of employment were terminated “immediately” after those discussions on Monday and yet Warburton and Weir were still at their work on Friday and even speaking to the media? That’s an insult to the intelligence of anyone who read it, along with the preposterous notion that it takes days to write a simple press release. King also came up with the following line: “In order for us to achieve our ambitions we need employees that, like your board members, will always put Rangers first.” Forgetting for a moment that this is from a stay-away chairman who has attended just one match all season, this tub-thumping motto strikes at the very heart of the entire Warburton affair. If King’s priority is really to protect the interests of his club, rather than grasp at every cheapest available option, then he would surely have afforded Warburton and Weir the courtesy of leaving in more dignified, professional circumstances. Breaking up is never easy. But rowing about it in full view of the public? This hardly casts Rangers in an attractive light and, at a time when King is looking to lure a new manager into his life, this act of naked aggression may yet do the club’s reputation more harm than good."

Eleven out of last twelve have been home draws. WTF is McLeish doing the draw for anyway. Self confessed Rangers man and a that.

See some no mark hack spouting off that the last straw for The Breadman was King's refusal to sanction an offer of £1m for Hayes in the transfer window. Sure these cunts lie awake a night just thinking up controversial stories to write.

Yep hat off to everyone that made the journey today

St Mirren or winner of Ayr v Clyde away in the quarters will do nicely for me

6-0 and BBC 1 a total Celtic wankfest
