    Doing a wee bit of digging myself...

    Coming across some lovely quotes..

    "Let us be in no doubt here, David Murray capturing the signature of Paul Le Guen in managerial terms is the biggest coup imaginable for Scottish football, EVER."

    Ooh I love these...:

    Ian Semple, Ayr, said: “The new look Rangers are going about their business ruthless under Mark Warburton.

    “We are just swatting teams away and it is a matter of time before we are back in the Premiership.

    “The rest of the top flight better be afraid because the Rangers are coming.”

    Robert Hunter, Glasgow,
    e-mailed to say: “I am loving what the new management team at Ibrox are doing.

    “It shows on the faces of our supporters going to games.

    “Everyone has a smile on their face and are talking about how good the football is and not the negative stuff we have had to endure for the past few years.”

    David Shankly, Larkhall, said: “James Tavernier and Martyn Waghorn are both gems.

    “Well done to Warburton for giving them a chance with Rangers.

    “They are the kind of players who get fans on the edge of their seats.

    “It looks like it is going to be an enjoyable season for the Light Blues as we have suffered for long enough.”

    I'm wondering what King will use to get the twerps buying season tickets next season, after using the triumphant return and going for 55 he's going to have to come up with something new. You can bet your shoes he's planning that just now with this season already over.

    Maybe he'll hire Eddy Grant.

    Espanyol are the poor neighbours to mega rich Barcelona, The Zombies see themselves as heading into the realm of never being able to compete with Celtic and quite frankly, they aint far off the mark.

    At least in that respect the truth seems to be dawning on the monkeys...

    I dont agree with that at all comrade,,if theres one thing I have learnt its that football is peeks and troughs,,I lived through their EBT riddled 9iar,,we were up **** creek without a paddle,,could u have ever in a million yrs seen a reversal like the one that has taken place ? ( never ) but hey ho here we are.The problem with the bluenoses is they have always felt they have a god given right to win, well THEY DONT, and the sooner they accept what has happened to them and build slowly within their means ,,they will be back, football is a funny ole game. That said,, they are a circus right now and the magic ten is quite a possibility. The key to all this is champions league qualification,,a new manager and some proper investment that is spent wisely ( not like breadhead) and the gaps not really that big.

    The gap is big enough...
    Playing-wise, it will always be 11 v 11 and anything can happen... Financial-wise, Celtic are out of sight at the moment but we shall see...

    The Huns peak was manufactured through tax dodging and paying players with second contracts who wouldnt normally touch Ibrox with a barge pole. In modern football, there has to be a sustained level of success, this Zombie club could fulfill its potential, but it cant ever beat or even match Celtic, without the cheating the old club indulged in.
