Only Motherwell to go and it's three seasons, three promotions. Has anyone done that before?
Gretna with a tiny fraction of the money and without the added safety net of play offs. They had to win the league and not come very distant third place finishers. Only Motherwell to go and it's three seasons, three promotions. Has anyone done that before?
They often walked the leagues.
If the same rules applied through the leagues, I'd imagine more teams would have managed it before.
They also made the Scottish cup final during that period.
I wouldn't start counting your chickens yet.

Talking about sell outs, when did Rangers last have a sell out, other than when they were desperate for a ticket against Celtic?
It was only £5 against Hibs in a game of huge importance, still only 41,000 turned up.
Quite a few times during the season they were only mid teens turning up.
Why did Scotland and the Scottish football end up taking the brunt of the blame when Rangers went bust?
Only after Rangers went bust was there ever this attitude towards Scotland and the Scottish football team as if they were in some way at fault.
Diddy teams. I beg your pardon. Falkirk have won more than "the Rangers" have.
I support my local team. If the rest of Scotland did then Scottish football wouldn't be in the fking mess it is now.
Falkirk pulls in ten percent of its local population in the first division. Show me how many clubs like that exist. they are the minority.

Hibs fans today obviously don't do irony.
"You're not Rangers anymore!" followed shortly after by "same old Rangers, always cheating!"
Special, special people. They are also apparently really pleasant...
And people wonder why Scottish football is fked with idiots like this around?
Hate their opponents more than they love their own club.

On the note of hibs, I have no idea why people think stubbs is a good manager.
I've watched them quite a bit, ive been at all 5 Falkirk v hibs games naturally, and watched them everytime they were on the tele. So about a dozen or so games. Every time I watch them I see the same team, making the same mistakes.
The first 20 minutes of the game was what they can do. Really good passing, attacking football team.
Then they run out of ideas. They cannot break teams down, Falkirk have had the better of them all season with the same formula. Sit back, soak it up and counter attack. There defence is shocking. The midfield are too relaxed to pick up the runners and help the back up because they over expose themselves in the final third.
They become incredibly venerable to counter attacking on the wings with crosses in.
They spend too much time passing the ball around with nil effect. Their possession is always great, but again today I watched players make 30 yard passes, through the air, to a man, who by the time receives the ball will have a marker on him. He in turn is then pressurised into making a quick pass or taking the man on. This results in nil product going forward and possibility for the counter attack.
I saw it so many times today with the same passing, the players just pass to a man in space with out taking into consideration the whole picture. If youre making a 30 yard pass it has to be to a man that can do something with it. It's to risky to do if he's not, and that's before you consider the pass might be a duff one and end up with counter attacks. Its happened to them so many times this year. Stubbs needs to shut the fk up and open his eyes. He is playing a good style of football but he's tactically not very astute. He mumphs and moans about this is the way football should be played. Well it is, but its not forever one, deal with it.
oh and welcome to the championship again.

There was a poster on here who went by the name of Groak who used to call Celtic fans "bheggars" well it's changed days when the club is using pay day loans to pay the players wages and begging ex managers to forego wages that are contractually due to them!
Still this is all comedy gold from "one of the richest clubs in the world" !

Only a Rangers fan would say that, Such a shame that so many of them are sad, moronic, single-minded simpletons.k about the national team, 99% of the clubs, the diddy team family finals they can't sell out or anything else come to that.Although I now remember the Gretna rise.
For the sake of Scottish football, I hope you don't get promoted.

I accept these don't take into account season ticket holders who don't turn up but I'd challenge any club in Britain to get anything near in the same circumstances.
Rangers are my local team (Glasgow southside born and bred). I've followed them around the country and beyond for 20+ years. I no longer have a (Bar 72) season book due to work but since the demotion have still been to see delights such as East Fife, Montrose, Newcastle reserves and many more. I certainly don't need to justify myself here.
54 titles we're still going strong.

I agree 100% with every word of that.
You'd think that being a pretty good defender in his time that Stubbs would do something about Hibs' defensive frailty.

If I remember correctly Groak was the chap who used to buy properties for next to nothing. Where did he disappear to?
Back to the football, McCall seems to have done a decent job at Rangers. He's got the players playing as a team - something S'Ally seemed unable to do.

Average attendance of 43k this season at the piggery.......loyal to the core to see your team win the top division.
Makes me laugh when teams of other clubs criticize Rangers for their attendances, as if Scottish football is booming with sell-outs everywhere every week. Comes back to my point about people being more obsessed with hating Rangers than loving their own team.
This person I've quoted being a prime example. He seems to know more about Rangers and their financial situation than anyone else. Why? You don't even support Rangers, so why do care this much to go looking for this information?
Mental.
