RANGERS have issued the following statement today:
“Representatives of Rangers have met with a number of supporter groups over the past few days and discussed a wide range of topics. We again made it clear during these meetings that the club will not grant security over Ibrox to any organisation and therefore the 'Ibrox 1972' scheme can never achieve its objectives. In addition the club will not accept season ticket applications from third parties such as 'Ibrox 1972' on behalf of supporters.
“In some of our discussions with fans, it was indicated that there was a wish for the Board to confirm that our statement of intention not to grant security over Ibrox could become a commitment that would last for 12 months. This has subsequently been discussed by the Board and the Board confirms that it will not be seeking to effect a sale and leaseback or grant security over Ibrox during that period of time.
“The Board is rebuilding the Club by ensuring its financial stability and the integrity of its assets.
“Whilst the Board is reported to have offered legally binding undertakings during a fan group discussion in relation to Ibrox and Murray Park, this is not the case. The Board is committed to high standards of corporate governance and is comfortable that it has at all times been very clear in providing consistent and unequivocal public comments on this subject.
"Season ticket sales have continued at a good pace over the last few days and we appreciate the continued support shown by our loyal fans.
"We trust that any supporters who may have been in any doubt about the Board's previous statements regarding Ibrox now have an additional level of comfort and any who may have made, or were considering making, a pledge of their season ticket money to 'Ibrox 1972' are clear that there is no prospect of that group achieving its aims."

Do whatever you want. Rangers fans are mega paranoid now after craig whyte. In fact you are too paranoid as nothing that has happened since is out of the ordinary. Nobody expected rangers to make any money playing in the lower leagues.

My best mate and his Dad are die hard Celts and I posted about a year ago how Celtic almost got relegated and Rangers at the time proposed a breakaway league to keep Celtic up. I had never heard of this either until my mates old man told me and he's in his 80's. He was raging due to Rangers going to the lowest league. I've watched OF games with the old boy and he's hardcore Celtic as they come, so much so I've been kicked out the house when we scored. But Rangers tried to save Celtic back in the day (something he hasn't forgotten) and something he thought Celtic should have returned.

Bluenose your disgruntlement is different from the main one, the main one is the board/ owners who have no investment and no vision for the long term future of the club
Yours would appear to be the management, who he plays, how he plays and who he signs

Mines is with the whole regime from boardroom downward.
The cants in the boardroom and the faceless owners are holding us back from progressing on the financial sides of things, ffs, chuck Green is supposedly coming back onto the scene as well. As if things weren't bad enough.
While the cants in the dugout are holding us back from progressing on the field.

It does, I accept both are intrinsically linked.
As it stands we're just going to end up in bother, again, one way or another.
