I don't think a manager has ever joined Rangers or Celtic, or probably any decent-sized club, and there hasn't been a story in the paper a few days later with a player saying how incredible the new regime is. Wow, the diet. Ooft, the tactical insight. Ouch, never worked so hard, never felt so fit. Players are like dead-eyed hookers, trying to make their johns believe they've never been done so good.

Ooh the hardest pre season they've ever done...What a load of absolute and utter tosh.. They be been away about three days.. Running every morning and " the balls come out in the afternoon" ge55ard is obviously some sort of visionary, works his players hard , the way has he works himself, doesn't expect anything less than 100% . He's like a modern jock Wallace ,Graeme souness, Walter Smith all rolled into one big struthian genius. I nearly forgot about his new signings, gems every one of them, only available to the rangers because of gerrards contacts and the high regard every player in the world has for him. The sooner they get pumped out of Europe, and take their place as third or fourth in the league the happier I will be. I want Gerrard to be the new version of fat salary, and never get a job at a football club ever again. 110% Timmy.

If this bear didn't know better, he'd swear he'd heard all this peesh before but it must've been some other club.

A few days into pre-season and they are already better prepared for Europe. A wee cup run a couple of games in the Europaa league and it could be burnout by Christmas (or the beginning of September if we are really lucky!) DAN CAN Rangers star Daniel Candeias says Steven Gerrard’s pre-season training is the hardest he’s ever workedThe Portuguese winger has been impressed with the work done by new boss Steven Gerrard with six new faces already checking in at Ibrox Spoiler: click to toggle By Alan Potts DANIEL CANDEIAS insists Rangers are better equipped this season for European football and a title challenge. The Portuguese winger has been impressed with the work done by new boss Steven Gerrard with six new faces already checking in at Ibrox. Scotland international Allan McGregor has returned to the club, while Nikola Katic, Connor Goldson, Jamie Murphy, Scott Arfield and Ovie Ejaria have also arrived. Candeias, who played in last season’s disastrous European defeat to Progres Niederkorn, admits he feels an added weight of expectation on him this season after being named Player of the Year in his debut campaign. He said: “We have brought in some great players and we are stronger. I think this is more like Rangers and we want to bring trophies to the club. “I have more responsibility because I am the Player of the Year. I will work hard because the first thing I worry about is the team. “I do want more goals and to get more assists because I know that can help the team. “If I can score a few more goals and have a few more assists that is great, but the team comes first. “The group now is better and I think the new ideas from the manager are very good. “I knew he was a great player and we are learning from him. He is better for the players because he was a player himself and he understands what we want. “Now is the time for us to get down to work.” Candeias endured three days of running in pre-season during a spell in Turkey but he admits Gerrard’s regime in Spain is even tougher! Speaking to Rangers TV, he added: “It has been a hard pre-season but it is good for the players because after it you get the results ahead of the long season. “Before when I was in Turkey we used to run for the first three days and we never touched the ball but this has been harder. “I am so tired after all the running we have done here but it will stand us in good stead for the season.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2816066/rangers-daniel-candeias-steven-gerrard/ "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."

But...but they were sold out 4 times over with a 1690 year waiting list.....
Season tickets 'back on sale'?? Doesn't make sense. They were sold but now are available? DD payments refused?
I think "Sandy Jardine Upper Stand" would be a nicer description. Certainly better than Willie Pullar.

If BR rated him we'd have got him. In a nutshell. There's no doubt in my mind we passed on that "opportunity".

Since then, he's had all manner of injuries & has totally lost his way.
If there was still a player there, I'm sure Brendan would have taken a look.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
If BR rated him we'd have got him.
In a nutshell. There's no doubt in my mind we passed on that "opportunity". I would guess Flanagan’s agent made contact with BR before they gave sevco a seconds thought

Another day in court for Dodgy Dave.
Dave King in new court proceedings over failure to make £11m Rangers shares bid Martin Williams @Martin1Williams
Spoiler: click to toggle REGULATORS have brought fresh legal action over the failure by Rangers chairman Dave King to make a judge-ordered £11 million bid for most of the club’s shares. It has emerged that representatives of the Takeover Panel were in the Court of Session on Tuesday in a private session in front of Lord Doherty as the impasse over the issue continues. Last month the Takeover Panel was granted a court order which forbid any attempt by Mr King's South African-based Laird Investments (Proprietary) Limited from making the mandatory offer to thousands of shareholders without a third party confirming that the funds to support it are there. The Rangers chief who says he has the funds in South Africa rather than the UK has since accused the Takeover Panel of “bullying” while confirming the club hoped to raise £6 million of fresh capital from a share issue “before June”. The Rangers chief has already been told that he is in breach of takeover rules by failing to make the shares bid by a deadline of April 26. Rangers International Football Club plc stated in early May that it understood that the funds for the offer are there and that Laird was seeking South African government approval to allow the money for the offer to be transferred to the UK. Lord Carloway at the Court of Session dismissed an appeal in March forcing a bid for 70 per cent of the shares to be made after agreeing that Mr King and others acted together to force their way into the Ibrox boardroom three years ago and ousting a board of directors said to be allied to Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley. That meant under the code of takeovers and mergers, an offer should be make to all other shareholders at the highest price paid in the 12 months before the offer was announced. It came after the Takeover Panel originally decided that a formal takeover should have been triggered after the Three Bears group led by Mr King secured more than 30 per cent of the voting rights in Rangers. It is understood that no decision was made at the Thursday hearing which is understood to relate to having an order in relation to Section 955 of the Companies Act 2006. Section 955 provides a route for the Panel to apply to the court to enforce requirements as well as requests for documents and information. The Panel can make an application where there is reasonable likelihood that a person will contravene a requirement imposed. But it is not normally expected that the court would rehear substantively the issues giving rise to the original ruling. On April 24, the Takeover Panel received "certain orders" which were aimed firstly to ensure that the bid is made while supported by actual funding making it Takeover Code-compliant, and secondly to ensure that no offer is made to shareholders without that money. The move came after the panel said an initial share bid announcement by Mr King did not comply with the Takeover Code, as it was not supported by cleared funds. Mr King's Laird firm had said in the March 29 announcement that the bid would be funded "using the receipt of dividends" amounting to £13,074,842.90 which was "to be declared on April 4". Mr King had gone through a lengthy battle through through the courts to stave off pressure to buy the shares fearing the heavy financial toll it would place on him. During an October hearing, Mr King's advocate Lord Davidson of Glen Clova QC argued that the Rangers chief "is penniless" adding: "Any order wouldn't secure compliance. It won't. It is pointless." Under Takeover Code rules, a written offer to shareholders had to be made within 28 days of Laird making the bid announcement on March 29 - but it is still not forthcoming. A letter by John Bennett, the chairman of an "independent directors" group of Rangers International Football Club plc on April 4 to shareholders agreed that the original Laird announcement had not been "cash confirmed" and said that "this will be addressed promptly" after April 4. He said that the bid announcement was expected to be followed by the actual offer to shareholders "no later than 26th April, 2018". Mr King claims the Takeover Panel had "changed the requirement" in insisting funds were held in the UK and said at the beginning of May: "I'll need time to comply." He added: "You can’t ask me to do it, get my acceptance to do it and not give the extension to comply. That’s absurd.” The King-led takeover group – which included Park's Motor Group founder Douglas Park, Rangers Supporters Trust and Rangers First member George Taylor and Rangers fan George Letham – had always denied that they had acted 'in concert' to purchase shares in Rangers on December 31 2014 and January 2, 2015. But the Takeover Appeal Board (TAB) last year said that " the case for concluding that... Mr Letham and Mr King, at least, were acting in concert in purchasing the relevant shares becomes overwhelming". In December Lord Bannatyne ruled in favour of the Takeover Panel that Mr King acted in concert with other shareholders when he bought a controlling stake in 2015. But Mr King argued that a judge went "too far" in ordering him to make a mandatory offer at a price of 20p a share. Lord Carloway on March 1 announced that a fresh appeal would be refused. Lord Bannatyne in a previous hearing said that Mr King's argument that he did not have the funds to make the offer was "irrelevant". http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/16305959.Ibrox_chief_in_new_court_proceedings_over_failure_to_make___11m_Rangers_shares_bid/

Flanagan signed official now with them
I think we missed the boat there - He was excellent under BR at Liverpool but after that has been a shambles - Still think me might revive his career in Scotland He did well towards the end of that season because Rodgers did everything possible to accommodate for his pishness - his only responsibility was to tackle whoever had the ball closest to him - as a result, he did an alright job and was praised to the heavens as 'just doing a job' was an amazing feat for a player of his limited capabilities.
Much like Barton and Alves (and Gerrard), there's a reason he's going to Sevco and not anyone else.
