Stanley Collymore, where do you start with a man like this? A footballer who didn’t quite hit the peak his ability suggested he should reach? A man caught up in a seedy dogging scandal? A human being that has allegedly made two threats on lives of two ex partners? A bully who when arguing with […]

Now as a football manager, Ally McCoist isn’t the best. He has achieved certain targets, which were expected of him. His signing policy was pretty poor, especially when compared to his recent predecessors. His ideas on tactics and formations have been weak and rigid. Some of the performances from his side were turgid to watch […]

So after a two and a half years without one, the Old Firm fixture will be back with a bang in the New Year. The draw for the League Cup final that paired the two Glasgow clubs was made last Saturday, yet the frenzy surrounding the fixture has yet to die down. The fact is, […]

A lot of us predicted good things from the Scottish Championship this season. Having three big heavyweights like Hearts, Hibs and Rangers in the league meant that we would see a competitive league, glowing in the exposure of more TV coverage. As we now step into October, the league is starting to take shape. One of […]

When Ally McCoist uttered the words… ‘This is my club, the same as it is for thousands and thousands of Rangers supporters, and we don’t do walking away.’ Many a Gers fan cheered. Alistair Murdoch McCoist was a hero and an idol and he was the man that stood by the club during its most […]

This Rangers versus the taxman saga seems to never go away. Yesterday an upper tier judge dismissed an appeal from ‘Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) against the ruling from the first-tier trial against the use of EBT’s from the old company that ran Rangers.

Now before I get started I’m not going to get into the debate in who should be running Rangers. I don’t have enough time to get into the boardroom politics. All I will say is if the current board can’t implement changes that benefit the club in the long term and cannot run the business […]
