remember, these games are more to get things set up for the competitive ones, so don't expect the qualifiers to be the same

I fancy a draw, 1-1 maybe, 2-1 Scotland at a push.

Firstly, The Rangers is the Plc. The club is Rangers Football Club. But I know Celtic fans will never accept that argument, as they are convinced the club died in 2012.
Secondly, how is what I said arrogant?. EVERYONE knows that Rangers will rebuild and rebound, just as Hearts did and Hibs will. Rangers are too big not to be able to restore themselves over time (and sooner rather than later) at the top of Scottish football. Be it top 5 or eventually champs. I fail to see how what I said is hubris. Hate it if you must, but Rangers will be back. Just as Celtic came out of their dire period 20 years ago. As everyone knew they eventually would.
That's what I love about Celtic fans: selective history, As if 1990-95 and the shambles that was Celtic Football Club of that time never happened.

Is there really a comparison between early 90's celtic the club you call Rangers today?
One was financially mismanaged but never had the embarrassment of being liquidated and reformed as a new club. Celtic were never in the bottom tier of Scottish football while having the 2nd largest wage bill in Scottish Football.
Celtic were mismanaged and the fans wanted those at the top gone. Rangers were mismanaged spending well beyond their means for years and the fans loved it.
Celtic after McCann took over actually had a plan to ensure the club is never is such a financial mess again.
'Rangers' were liquidated and then reformed and still the financial mess was apparent. Share issues, emergency loans just to cover the costs of running the club, dodgy directors and so forth.
The wage bill 'Rangers' have means they should of reached the SPL by now. In fact they should of walked it but even after being liquidated they still don't learn. They again handed out crazy contracts for average players as well as paying a Manager in the lower tiers of Scottish football an absurd wage.
There isn't that many similarities between the two clubs.

You'd have needed a big punt, I think they were 1/3.
There is a warrant out to arrest Elbows McCulloch after he failed to show up in court. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/u...pea.1433773353

Rangers are the same club. How many times does it have to be said before Celtic fans understand it?

Yeah, because it is just Celtic fans who hold that opinion.
No fans of any other clubs have had banners saying that you are a new club, no fans of any other clubs have sang "You're not Rangers anymore."
None at all.
It is only Celtic fans who think that you are a new club.
It couldn't be further from the truth.

Aye, right. Because these dicks have jumped on a bandwagon of shite patter that makes it true, does it? What a childish argument. Deary me...

So what if EVERY fan does?. Dosent make it true!.
All that proves is the ignorance of Scottish football fans. I think my 'favourite' were the Airdrie support, every Gers fan just looked at each other and burst out laughing.
The Plc/company went bust, not the club, you cannot liquidate a sports club. The club survived, its assets transferred to a new company. Had that not happened, THEN Rangers would have been forced to fold as a club. As they would have had no ground or team. Either that or become the world's biggest amateur team, playing on the astroturf across the road from Ibrox!.
I think a lot of the myth comes from Celtic/Scots fans misunderstanding of the 1899 incorporation. And that (incorrectly) that was seen as company and club being one and the same. But that's not how incorporation works. The business/company and the sporting organisation still remain separate entities. Lets be blunt, in 2012, your average scots football fan suddenly became a financial expert, with deep knowledge of scots law and financial law. I think not.

If we ever got summer football would we slowly have to slight the dates of the season, season by season.
Rather than finish may and that's it till the following February
