And also played for Dundee United who AFC were playing in that semi final.
McLean also played for Falkirk, Preston North End, Ross County and is now playing in the Singapore League. If anybody thinks they can make something out of these things, so be it.

I would expect them to close ranks and stick up for their officials.

McLean chopped off Rooney's goal in the League Cup semi when it was 1-1 for absolutely no reason at all. That probably denied us a place in the final and the chance to defend our cup. We get screwed while McLean get's the reward of another showpiece occasion.

It was also McLean who allowed Motherwell's goal to stand against Aberdeen that gave Motherwell 2nd place in the final minute of last season.

I have my own suspicions on several refs, I'm sure everyone does but I just can't ever see the SFA hanging any of them out to dry.
As if the sheep mean enough to have a big conspiracy to stop them winning the diddy cup

I haven't been on here for ages , so well done to Dumbarton for a great season. They had double their normal crowd for Rangers ( no surprise) and even took the lead,

What are the chances of Rangers getting promoted

The Sons have done well again, 4th year in The Championship next season.
We need new faces in, during the summer though, squad needs strengthening. Can't complain though

The late 1980's to most of the 1990's?
I miss Boghead, to be honest. The home & away fans could walk round and switch 'Ends'
at half time.
Great pies too.

Is it really any wonder that they never want to comment on their team after the horrific season they have had?

They spent all last summer telling us how competitive the Championship would be yet they find themselves 22 points behind Hearts whilst the gap in the Premiership is only 5 points albeit Celtic have a game in hand.

Next we go onto the Scottish Cup where they were put out, at home, by Raith Rovers in front of a crowd of 11k.

The League Cup was even more embarrassing as they get beat by Celtic and don't even manage a single solitary shot on target. I'm sure Craig Gordon was pictured reading a newspaper in the second half as it became evident he would have nothing to do between the sticks.

And then finally we have the Challenge Cup where they were beaten 3-2 by part time Alloa despite having been 2-0 up with 20 minutes to play.

Looking off the pitch they seem to be trying to get more gardeners than the Beechgrove Garden and now have the GASL in charge, the same person who earlier in the season caused them so much financial hardship that they had to get loans from Mike Ashley and Sports Direct so that they no longer own the rights to their own club badge or even Broxi Bear.

Like I say, after the clucker**** of a season they have had it is no wonder they don't want to speak about their own team.

Look at the hurt The only treble you managed was getting pumped out of Europe 3 times in one season.

Only the most stupid of Zombies wouldn't be able to admit that this has been a disaster of a season for The Rangers.

But as has been said elsewhere a fan of The Rangers slagging a Celtic fan for Sunday is like a homeless guy slagging off your choice of curtains.

Rangers haven't been in the top league for 3 seasons and you still can't win a treble. Even the worst Rangers team in living memory managed by Ally beat ICT this season. You lot thought you had the treble sewn up seeing Falkirk in the final. You are still playing guys like Tonev as well. I wonder what you would have done if he made it 3-3?

10 trebles in the entire history of Scottish football belies the ease with which trebles are won obviously.
When Celtic were arguably the best team in the WORLD, they won 2!
It only seems to be those with no hope of ever winning a treble that think it's 'expected' or 'easy'.

The same as Rangers fans did when Gazza scored after beating up his wife?
I know which crime I consider 'worse'.
Come on Frank you can do better!

It has never been easier to win a treble, you have no difficult competition in the league or the cups, no European football to tire you out and you are paying your players many times more than the other teams who are all skint and if they do have any good players you can take them for buttons.

Your fans are holding up refugee welcome banners or bleat on about anti-racism and all that Kult club rubbish and there you have Leigh Griffiths and Tonev being cheered on as heroes. I don't know what Gazza's home life has to do with it as Rangers fans weren't trying to promote some anti-domestic abuse agenda to try and tell the world how morally superior they supposedly are.

It would be interesting seeing Tonev and co line up on 'show racism the red card' day. Probably need to make it a yellow though.
