Aw no I'd forgotten about that speaking in tongues bastarding TV. Is this what we pay our license for?

 

It offers you a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch your team's journey on the road to nowhere

 

I'll give you the heads up on this BAD. Slippier people than you have tried this line of pun with me before. Mind what I'm saying I'm not full of hot Air. I have no compassion for such talk and I know you stay up late thinking of taunts for our club. You may think you're in heaven just now, but I think you'd have to be on drugs to laugh at what happened to us. Cities need derby games and competition so the teams stay hungry. Does John Collins feeble patter not throw up a warning sign to you? I know you don't want to be pulled up by me any more so lets have a clean break from this sort of oneupmanship. I know you think this must be the place to air your grievances, but I'm not blind to what you are trying to do.

 

Morning, Moses, hope yer good

 

I think the heat s got to me mate Have a good one buddy.

Scottish Challenge Cup Round 1, Saturday 25/07/2015 : Hibernian 2-6 Rangers

That was a comprehensive demolition of the team that will probably be Rangers' main League rivals this Season, so very well done, lads. What was even better about this was not the excellent result itself, but the way Rangers played to achieve the result.

Match Report : Rangers FC - Hibernian 2-6 Rangers

Attendance : 11,225 (Alba)

Manager's verdict : Rangers FC - We Can And Will Improve

For the record, I missed most of the first half, so my judgement of the match (above) is based upon what I saw of the game.

Rangers FC - Ayr Date Confirmed

I misread the article, it actually says :

The game against former Gers star Ian McCall’s side will kick-off at 7.45pm and hasn’t been selected for live television coverage.

So for now, we are spared BBC Alba.

 

There's no escape Larry it will be on it always is. It's our ultimate penance in all of this madness that has engulfed us in the last few years.

The Alba commentary. It's actually a medium channeling Arthur Montford from the other side (STV).

 

Not on BBC Alba, just checked their website ... zilch !

It's a champions league night so live TV games outwith that are a no no Larry.

 

Rangers: Foderingham; Tavernier, Ball, Wilson, Wallace; Shiels, Holt, Walsh; Oduwa, McKay, Clark.
Subs: Kelly, Kiernan, Miller, Aird, Waghorn, Halliday, Law.

Five changes for tonights match. Be interesting to see Ball play. Hope Nicky Clark rediscovers his scoring ability.

 

Nicky Clark scores from a great ball from Holt .
