Did you miss the day in school when you learned what irony was? Its the fans enjoying themselves in the current plight, none of them actually believe we're going to win the league! :rolleyes:

Good first half.

Lee McCulloch, Rangers legend

Eirebear

Super Ally, Super Ally!

Jelle1880

Kerkar with 3 assists!

Should have been 5, ball was over the line.

Eirebear

Should have been a goal.

We've had some amount of contentious goal decisions this year.

Jelle1880

Can't really blame the linesman, all happened so fast.

I agree to an extent - but how many times have we found ourselves saying that this season?
Two goals last week, one today, one against sellik at new year, Hearts against sellik and numerous others.

Goal Line technology would catch some of it, but not all.

F.T
Good win, well done lads.

Craig whyte was on Sky sports news.

Question about buyers is for administrators.

- Not sure when he'll next be in Glasgow.

- Whyte urges us to stick with it, support the team and rally round.

- Media is following him everywhere. Toughest job he's ever taken on. He'll be back in London next couple of days and getting on with job in hand.

Squad are apparently thinking about taking a 25% wage cut, which would mean that no playing staff would have to be made redundant.
Brilliant gesture if they go through with it.

Great gesture. Everyone needs to do their bit to help the Rangers.

Can't see that being true... If it is then are creditors going to be offered the same deal of 100% of what they're owed? I very much doubt it.

Jelle1880

It is true, not sure it will happen though.

By the way, remember how Celtic fans on here were so in support of their club asking money up front ?

THE Old Firm are locked in a cash feud after it emerged Celtic have reneged on a deal to hand over a £300,000 advance on tickets for next month's derby clash.
And Record Sport understands anxious Ibrox staff fear the move may force more job cuts at their stricken club at a time when administrators are trying to unearth enough money to keep the business running.
We revealed on December 6 how Celtic were breaking with tradition by demanding Rangers pay up front for their fans' tickets for the derby match at Parkhead at Christmas.
With the Ibrox finances unravelling under the disgraced Craig Whyte regime, Celtic feared they might be left out of pocket if Rangers went into administration.
Whyte reluctantly cobbled together the cash to avoid having an 8000-strong travelling support locked out of the biggest fixture of the festive period.
And according to sources, a verbal agreement was reached between the clubs that Celtic would also pay up front before their second visit of the season to Ibrox on March 25.
But last night that deal appeared to have broken down, just as Rangers' need for cash was becoming even more desperate.
The Parkhead club are due to receive 7300 tickets for Ibrox with their fans set to stump up £42-a-head for the pleasure of celebrating this season's title cakewalk at the home of their bitter rivals.
That adds up to a sum of just over £300,000 and it's money Rangers need to get their hands on as quickly as possible.
Administrators Duff and Phelps are still trying to track down the missing millions from Whyte's £24.4m deal with Ticketus as they attempt to find enough money to cover next month's wage bill. And, as if the financial carnage at Ibrox was not already chaotic enough, the club was yesterday hit with a £50,000 fine from the PLUS Market due to Whyte's failure to disclose his seven-year directorship ban.
Head administrator Paul Clark is expected to hold a further round of crisis talks with manager Ally McCoist today as the club braces itself for even more bad news.
The fear among players and staff is that the axe is likely to fall tomorrow unless more funds are found immediately to cover the running costs.
McCoist, though, despite the latest in a long line of misinformed reports in Whyte's pet paper, the Scottish Sun, will refuse to select which players stay and which go.
Instead, the manager will attempt to broker a deal to save jobs by slashing his own salary and asking his first-team squad to do the same to help the club survive without the need for job losses.
Rangers had hoped the £300,000 from Celtic would help tide them over but the administrators will have to find cash from elsewhere if swingeing cuts are to be avoided.

Fork it over Celtic
Or Rangers could always sell tickets to their own fans instead

Not exactly what I would call a concrete arrangement.

There's a reason we were looking for money up front from Rangers, 'cause they're skint. That's not our problem now.

Pompey Magnus

Rangers will have to give Celtic the tickets. It would be a nice gesture though if Celtic decide to help to ease a little of Rangers' debts by giving the money for the tickets directly to Dundee Utd and Dunfermline who are still waiting for their cut of their recent games in Ibrox.

A nice gesture but I'm afraid £300,000 is a drop in the ocean - can't see it making any difference to the total amounts due.

How can it be true that the players will continue to get 100% of the wages set out in their contracts? The other creditors will go ape about that.

Not a hope in hell should Celtic give the ticket money up front to Rangers unless there's some thing in the rules which state we should. This is just another run of the mill game for us and, because there's no hope of us running no any Mediterranean financial difficulty and payment is assured, you'll get the money the same way any other team n the league would get it.

Rumour has it it'll get them through the next month's wage bill.

That might mean an extra player or two that they can hold onto. I hope we pay them according to SPL rules.

Hope so, it would be the decent thing to do - maybe even heal a few old wounds for fans too;)

I said the players are thinking of taking a wage cut, that's not taking 100% of their wages is it ?

Player A agrees a new deal with Rangers that is 25% less than his current wage from March 1st.

Rangers pay his new agreed wage from March 1st.

Player A gets 100% of the wage that he agreed to.

Ergo, Player A is getting 100% of the wage due to him.

I don't believe for a second that players will only have to take a 25% pay cut.

I think you're picking me up wrong. I see no reason why Celtic should pay this money up front to Rangers, it is not the done thing in the SPL and why should we be forced to alter our cash flow because RFC messed up and want preferential treatment?

I'm sure there's normal rules as to when and how this money is paid, we should stick to these rules.

Hasnt it always been the case with football clubs in administration that the footballers get their wages first before any other creditor?

You already went past those rules when asking for the money from Rangers up front.

And yes, I understand the reasoning behind it, but still.

edit: Fuhrer, I think so.
This because if players don't get paid for a certain amount of time (3 months isn't it ?) they become free agents.
Players are the last people not to get paid when things are bad at clubs.

fionnsda

If celtic paid the cash upfront they would lose the lot, if rangers where to become liquidated before the match.

Call from Jim Hannah

This is a plea all Rangers fans out there who love the Club and want to help them through this disastrous horrendous time.

We need to buy tickets for this Saturday’s game against Hearts we need the game to sell out. The ticket sales have slowed right down only 300 sold today and still over 4.400 to sell.
The club needs the income urgently to keep us going and the money generated by the sale of tickets is the quickest way to get money into the Club.

Hopefully over the next few days there will be a vehicle available which will allow the fans to help our Club by donating money, I have personally been inundated with requests from fans pleading to help the Club out NOW by giving money to the Club and hopefully this will be the way.

I cannot stress how vital it is to be able to raise money for the Club during this difficult time, we are currently awaiting assurances from the Administrators that any monies raised and passed to the Club will be used for the running of the Club ONLY and will not used to pay creditors, and so far the talks have been really encouraging.

PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW, SHARE IT, PUT IT ON FORUMS, EMAIL AND TEXT IT.
LETS HOPE EVERY RANGERS FAN AROUND THE WORLD READS THIS AND REALISES THAT RANGERS NEEDS THEM NOW AS THEY WILL DO AFTER THE ADMINISTRATION PERIOD ENDS!!!!

But that's irrelevant because both parties agreed to the altered payments.

As it stands I don't know if both parties have agreed to altered payments this time so if they haven't then normal SPL rules should apply.

I'd say the other SPL teams that are owed over £1m pounds b Rangers are looking on not too happy.
