Ministryofdad Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I was in Shandwicks of all places watching the game. Celebrated like **** when we scored and won. Draw came about.... Aberdeen 1st I was shouting on hearts. Gave the boos. Saying to my acquaintance sevco again. Guy on the next table said its Glasgow Rangers. I had to educate the delinquent on etiquette, Edinburgh and Scottish football. Heart of Midlothian were bought out of administration. Rangers were liquidated due to the tax fraud associated with EBT (employment benefit trusts) the 'wee tax' case that was the final nail in the coffin of the most successful club in association football. Now just a zombie club with zoomed who think not being liquidated matters. SFA membership revoked. Application to Europe being rejected and banned for 3 years for forming a new Co relevant. As far as I'm aware Rangers still don't own some of the heirtage pertaining to its former history. The club is 12 years old and has won limited silverware in its history. Some would say a successful club. All would say zombie club. Rangers died and hearts survived YOU LET YOU CLUB DIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australis Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Why has the way they brought the club back from its death not been copied by other clubs in trouble. Does nobody else have the brass neck to even try it. Just say it's the same club, trophies and history are all ours and nothing has changed.

One of the official bodies wanted them put straight back into the top league - but we were the first to vote against that and their great ‘enemies’ Celtic waited until last to also - eventually - vote against. Everyone voted against except Killie, who abstained.
