The Basket Case at Ibrox continues to mock Scottish Fitba - Chairman Somers now walking away according to Beeb.
Excellent news for Rangers if true.

A fair chance not. I'd probably take a play off now.

Do you reckon you'll get up ?
At this rate I don't see Rangers coming up, they concede too many and don't score enough. I reckon they could finish second just about but lose to Hibs and after that it is a lottery who goes up or comes down. The only saving grace is maybe these 4 Newcastle players being fit for the play off charge.

Falkirk beat Hearts so it isn't a dreadful result. They could be in the play offs.

Superb second half performance from Celtic yesterday. You'd have thought that it was Aberdeen who had played in Italy on Thursday night.

He can retire very content for such an average player.

Heid wasn't as bad as everyone makes out. Him in his prime is still anything better than Scotland have at centre back just now.

Ten goal losers are at the newco Saturday. Wonder how close new Rangers can get o the Hearts total?

Dundee fire both barrels at the BBC and DC Thomson over the inaccurate reporting of their accounts last week.

Following the release of the club accounts from season 2013/14 on Friday, Dundee Football Club were angered and disappointed in the way that some media outlets chose to report the story.

For the avoidance of any doubt caused by these sensationalised and misinformed articles, the club would like to formally state that Dundee Football Club currently do not have any debt. This was incorrectly reported by both the BBC and The Courier.

As a media partner of the league with a national reach, we feel that certain members of the BBC let themselves down with their comments; in particular, during a radio broadcast on Saturday evening. The club contacted the BBC during the show, as did many of our supporters, and while it was semi-clarified during the show, the comments made did not reflect the truth. Simple, basic journalistic fact-checking beforehand would have meant that these comments could have been avoided.

The club have been disappointed on a number of occasions with The Courier this season, deepened due to the fact that this is a local publication.

Back in October, The Courier erroneously reported unfounded allegations of sectarian chanting within the home end at Dens Park. This is an issue which the club took very seriously. While retaining a dignified silence in public, we spoke to senior staff members at The Courier and made it very clear of our feelings on this matter, which they ensured us they understood.

On Friday, having just released the accounts, we were stunned to see a factually inaccurate interpretation of the document under a sensationalised headline appear on their website. Our expectations for their professionalism were higher than the reality of it, unfortunately.

Contact was made again, and the story was amended, although still not to a version which reports the situation correctly.

The article which appeared in Saturday morning’s paper did correctly reflect the story; however, the original damaging article still remains online.

Further to this, on Saturday evening we were surprised to see a post on the publications social media making light of a situation that we take very seriously, accompanied by an unprofessional and inappropriate comment. The post was deleted on Sunday morning, but as far as we are concerned the harm was already done.

With all of this in mind, discussions within the club are ongoing as we look at all of the options available to Dundee Football Club as to how to proceed.

This is not a decision we will take lightly. We value the reputations of our supporters and club; both of which could have been tarnished by the serious and chronic misrepresentations as detailed above.

He can retire knowing that no one has score more goals than him in Europe against Celtic while playing for Celtic.

I was at a junior game on Saturday, the boy who scored the opening goal went to his bed on Saturday night and never woke up.

Absolutely horrible thing to happen to anyone let alone a bloke in what should have been the prime years of his life.

The FA contact other home nations about participating in Rio 2016 under the Team GB banner.

Seems the focus is on a Women's team but should England reach the Euro U21 semi finals there could be scope for a men's team as well.

Like Zombie statement bingo there with references to "the avoidance of any doubt" and "dignified silence".

Just missing a "we demand to know" for a full house.

So it looks like the battle at Ibrox is over.

How is Mike Ashley going to fit in now and how will the SFA get around Stewart Regan's previous comments where he said that King wouldn't pass a fit and proper person test?

Anyone thinking that all sweetness and light is about to return to Ibrox and that Rangers will return to resembling a proper football club rather than a shambolic soap opera, I suspect may find out differently.

Plenty fun to come I reckon.

He probably gives more than that away to homeless folk when drunk on a night out.

Can see the Geordie five being recalled to Newcastle very shortly.
Also with twelve players out of contract in June there is going to be a lot more entertainment from the newco.
