This is not fair, in fact Rangers must be very cross over it. Hearts get away with it in effect. Some teams have gone bust in the middle of the season. Depends when it happens, if around March time Hearts will be assisted to the end of the season to fulfill all fixtures. November time won't affect table much, so they would probably get no help.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

You seem to ignore all the things Rangers did. I suspect it would be hard for any club to do as many wrongs as Rangers, fairly unique, they had to write war and peace just to list the wrong doings.

Try as you might, you can't re-write history.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Fantastic result for St Johnstone in the Europa. Raising the league flag at Celtic Park tomorrow :D Hopefully see a couple of our new signings too.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Yes, good result. Big game next week.

Not impressed with partick vs D Utd. Prefer the sheffield Utd game

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

0-0 ain't exactly a thrilling start to the season.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Interesting...

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Looking forward to it. I've been on holiday so haven't been to any home games yet this season. It'll be my daughters first game using their own season tickets too. COYBIG :D

from BBC
BBC Radio Scotland's Charlie Mann at Station Park
"On the day that former chief executive Charles Green, having returned to Ibrox, piled pressure on manager Ally McCoist by demanding the lifting of a cup as well as the League One title, Rangers are out of the League Cup after being beaten by Forfar"

Ouch

Derek, If the SFA know that Celtic use tax avoidance schemes, is this the way Scottish Football has one rule for one, and one rule for another.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Very interesting. The infighting seems to be reaching a crescendo;

The most undignified post match interview ever:

From a football perspective I'd have thought embarrassment was a word that the sleekit McCoist should stay clear of...... given his managerial record in cup competitions.:D

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

It was stupid by Green. I have to say i don't like him, seems full of it.

So on that basis, sympathetic to mccoist, but Rangers still should have won, there is no real excuse for that

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

That's my real point. A manager of a full team time being knocked out of a competition shouldn't be making excuses.... yet something that appeared in the newspaper and the wind!!! are cited by the pie muncher.

I'd have thought that they'd have changed ends at half time ;)

So far McCoist has fully endorsed Whyte, Ahmad, Green and Mather. I'm just hoping one of them gives him a 25 year contract :D

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

Yes, i don't really see McCoist as a manager.

Re: The Scottish Football Thread
 

..... and the plot thickens.

Season ticket sales suspended at Ibrokes this morning:

"Richard Wilson @timomouse

Rangers Season Ticket sale have been suspended this morning. That doesn't bode well.
10:36 AM - 4 Aug 2013
41 RETWEETS 3 FAVORITES ReplyRetweetFavorite"

What can be the reason for that?

Sold out? Nope they've sold about 5000 less than last year.
Safety certificate problem? There have been rumours for a while about the condition of the asbestosdome.
Stock exchange announcement on Monday? Would that cause them to suspend ticket sales?
Admin 2? If they're still losing £1M a month then that may happen, but I wouldn't have thought yet...

Rangers must be spinning in their grave.

Can't beat a winner in the last few minutes:D Should have had it wrapped up long before that to be fair. Loads of chances, was an excellent game.
