They All Have to Go: Four Reasons the Ibrox Regime needs overhauled.

They all have to go

Corrupt
Spineless
Rudderless
Shameless

Well, how else can you describe the Ibrox that David Murray has built? Okay it has taken two decades, but boy oh boy is this man's negligence now paying dividends for those who hate us and who are now quite open in their hatred.

1 - Corrupt - At time of writing it is unclear whether our club has promoted the GAA here in Scotland recently or not. What we can say is they have in the past.

It beggars belief; there are teams in this foetid, anti Protestant/anti British organisation that call themselves after and glamorise dead republican terrorists. Our club will, and has, backed this sport but has banned the Dublin Loyal banner that says 'Behind Enemy Lines' at the drop of a hat.

Corrupt? We are a club that employ the type of man who refused to track down the yahoo who walloped Ricksen with a missile, but will ban a man from Ibrox for throwing a cup of fizzy liquid at Petrov, after much provocation.

Corrupt? We'll throw money at The GAA here in Glasgow but will refuse to embrace The Ulster Scots Society. You bet we are corrupt.

2 - Spineless - Pick an issue and we can discuss. But hey I can sum it up in just eight simple words; 'The famine is over, why don't you go home?' Or even 'The Billy Boys.' Or even wanting to sign us up to dialogue with NBM. On and on it goes.

3 - Rudderless - I grew up hearing tales of how we had a negligent chairman in the 60s called John Lawrence. You look back at some wee Blue books of the time or pick up Willie Allison's The New Era and he always seemed to be in Morocco on business when Rangers were winning trophies.

I never thought the present incumbent would turn out to be as negligent as Lawrence, but this present guy takes us way off the map. In my opinion, David Murray is the single most disastrous individual in the entire history of Rangers Football Club. But don't take my word for it, just let the facts take care of themselves.

Again, pick any issue you want, and our ludicrously self-appointed custodian will be found wanting.PR; the dud he has hand picked as his CEO; the running of the club on a day to day basis; allowing Alfred Hitchcock to face the music a few years ago and sitting in the background; sectarianism; our financial performance overall.

That's just for starters.

4 - Shameless - That's twice now in the last five/six years or so that Neil Lennon has been the aggressor in incidents in the streets of Glasgow. But always the 'sectarian' and 'victim' card has been played. And that gets you away with an awful lot in mixed up, muddled up present day Scotland.

The first time he got away with tackling two young students. The second time he didn't. However, a few days after the two guys who decided to take Lennon up on his aggression were banged up, our assistant manager is posing for the camera with this nasty individual. Will they never learn at Ibrox? Or is it that they just don't care?

This 'event' came hard on the heels of our manager berating us for not fancying him frittering £2m on what must be as bad a footballer as I've seen in my time watching Rangers in terms of first touch, ball control and the like. You know the absolute basic requirements of a footballer's profession. It was all for the wrong reasons he told us.


Now, once again in the last week or so it has came to light that the assistant manager is going to fast to promote a charity ran by a Church that doesn't even acknowledge his own religious beliefs.

But people are allowed to do and promote what they want, I hear you say. My answer is that if this same cowardly individual was asked to promote the Orange Order here in Scotland, he'd run a mile from it.

McCoist sums up all that is wrong in Scotland today; he will happily appease those who hate us, whilst not giving a toss about alienating those who idolise(d) him.

Still, McCoist has been happy to play this game for years. Personally speaking I find the idea of this man ever being a future manager of my club abhorrent.

Without doubt this wee rant is borne out of anger, but it is not down to Wednesday night's disgrace alone.

Look at every aspect of the club and how it is being run. We have capitulated completely on the sectarianism issue. Not only that I now firmly believe the chairman wants to destroy every last trace of our wonder Protestant heritage and culture. It is my belief the manager and his assistant are also in on the act.

We need to rid Rangers FC of these people before they destroy us altogether.
