Why could therangers not play Kelty Hearts in a pre arranged testimonial?
Why were Rangers(RIP) not relegated to Div3?
Why could therangers not play in Europe when they had qualified for the Europa?

Rangers winning 55 and stopping the thing you have been singing about for 10 years has absolutley broken you.

It's ok not to be ok, fella.

Fake’ty Five!

To be fair, it's hard to quote any statement released by The Rangers without there being a mention of 55 in it.

Fair point. They could have just quoted the SPFL instead

The SPFL who are promoting a business? I can see why they would perpetuate the lie.

It's incredible. Even Celtic, who renewed the trademarks for 'Old Firm' and 'The Old Firm' days ago, are also involved in the lie. Cray times, bro

They sure are, much to the annoyance of many of the fans. Celtic are doing all they can to keep the resolution 12 guys at bay.

As for the old firm trademark, it makes sense to renew, why let The Rangers have sole hold over it. Atleast we have some control over how its used.

This must be our toughest game this season. Slavia are unbeaten at home so far and have had decent results against some good teams. If be happy just to still be in the tie at the end of the night.

Bookies have the Czechs favourites to win tonight (just) and the Scottish champions favourites to progress over the two legs (just).

Given their home form I’d bite your hand off for a draw right now, tbh.

[dalzo]

I knew there would be a meltdown but didn’t realise they would take it this badly absolutely sensational

Anyway what’s the score prediction for tonight?

I think it’s going to be a hard game tbh and not sure if we’ll win but I reckon both teams will score. 2-1 slavia and then we’ll go through once we beat them at ibrox. The teddy bears have beaten better though

[DocJock]

Agreed. 1-2 loss tonight and 1-0 win at Ibrox. Through on away goal.

[Algarve]

I think we'll win 2-1. Morelos man of the match, and show French Eddie how its done on the big stage.

What a man McGregor is

So drunk he can't even lift his head 3 days ago - https://twitter.com/stuardy1/status/13689529911480...

then pulling off the save of his career tonight - https://twitter.com/Rossco5055/status/137009862787...

I'm getting the Karaoke on now, time to celebrate

edit- Ukrainian team lost away 2-0 so doesn't get much better. lets hope Roma batter the other one in the late kick off.

Decent result and a fantastic save. We can argue whether it’s the best save ever but it’s definitely in the top 55.

[hongkongdonkey]

That is a great result. The tie could go either way but to have the advantage for the second leg at home is fantastic. Good news for the Scottish coefficient too with Kiev losing and Shakhtar Donetsk a goal down at the moment.

[Driver101]

Slavia Prague pressurised and dominated the game first half forcing lots of mistakes. Second half with a bit of the same they lost their way and made mistakes. Their composure went up front too and the quality into the box went. They looked very good in the first half with their movement and passing.

It was an incredible save at the end.

[Scrubs]

That McGregor save was absolutely outrageous. Still expecting to see it go in watching the slow motion replay.

First half Rangers were outplayed. After 30 mins would have snapped your hand off for 1-1. Credit to Hagi though for managing to cut the ball back to Helender for a tap in for the equalizer. Important away goal to get.

They are no mugs and will be a difficult game next Thursday but Rangers will have much more prep time and Slavia play this weekend.

Rangers are still unbelievably unbeaten in the league and in Europe. It's the middle of March.

I would say it was as good as Gordon Banks #no1

Scott Brown to Aberdeen? https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/footb...

I didn't think he'd even be remotely interested in it. He'd need to live in or near Aberdeen. He'd be on a fraction of the money he gets now. He'd be in with a chance of winning nothing of note, ever.

I'd certainly make the rangers v Aberdeen games more interesting though

Surely there's better options for him if he does leave? In his shoes I'd retire before going there.

Lives in Cramond (A very very wealthy and nice part of Edinburgh) with his wife and kids who goto a local school. I'd be surprised if at 35 he'd upsticks for 5 grand a week to move to Aberdeen. Surely Celtic will be his last club. Aberdeen are skint, have a crumbling stadium and making a massive loss. They won't push the boat out for a player who will be 36 before next season starts. Hibs might be a more realistic option but a more realistic option yet is him retiring.

[DocJock]

Hibs have far too many midfielders as it is without signing an auld yin who is way past his best.
