I'm more aware than you know about the goings on in football clubs across the west of Scotland. Yes Rangers hand out freebies, guess what? so do celtic, so do St Mirren, so do every other professional team in Scotland.

What I find puzzling is why celtic fans seem to be hell bent on making it seem like Rangers are the only team who do this to the extent of photoshopping tickets to 'prove' they are freebies.

Maybe if they were more concerned with talking about their own teams their manager wouldn't have to beg for them to renew their season tickets?

Yes we have some halfwits amongst our support. Guess what? Every team does.

A man has been arrested accused of racially abusing two former Rangers players.

A HEARTS fan was arrested after making "offensive" gestures to Spurs fans earlier this season.

I do find it quite surprising that the BBC removed any reference to the IRA supporting songs being sung openly in Italy midweek when any comment bringing attention to them were placed on their website.

I find it quite refreshing that the Rangers management try to address the problem rather than pretending it doesn't exist. Remind me again how celtic are getting on in finding and banning the supporters responsible for the misspelt anti-remembrance day banner a few years back?

Making up figures again. Your own manger uses tax avoidance strategies. Rangers didn't pay the taxes when Whyte was in charge, everything else was above board.

Remember Rangers were not the only team in Scotland to use EBT's. Another team did and tried to hide the fact. Still waiting for the witchhunt against them to begin.

It does. It doesn't seem to be going particularly well for some teams.
St. Mirren had 3,394 fans today against Dundee Utd. For a town of 80,000 or so thats utterly pathetic. The claims of a lively league without the old firm dominating everything making attendances, the money coming in and standards of football improve have been utterly false.
