    There’s a link to listen on the BBC Sportscotland Home Page. Don’t know if that allows you to listen without going through all the TV Licence questionnaire guff.

    Even Donald Findlay the former vice chairman famous for his flute playing has said,"This is not the way the old club used to behave."

    The Great Poobah Of The Knights Of The Grand Teatowel Lodge himself was one of the few ‘Loyal’ to see past the Emperor’s New Clothes and actually call out Sevco for what it really was a few years ago as well.

    That is actually a pretty good read. Totally surprised me. He seems to be telling it like it is. Probably reasons why , but he seems to have the general gist and has no ties (no pun intended) related to the club/s anymore.

    He seems happy being involved with his own wee club living within their means (ahem... the Rangers)

    Still got caught singing the sash tho …. jury still out (2nd pun not intended)

    Jim Spence sums them up well in today's Courier


    Infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me, is a classic line, delivered by the immortal Kenneth Williams.

    It looks like Rangers have nicked his script though, with their behaviour threatening to turn Scottish football into a Carry On comedy.

    The club which, before liquidation, regarded itself as Scotland’s quintessential establishment football institution, is engaged in a war of words with the SPFL, casting aspersions but, as yet, producing no hard evidence.

    Statements are being scattered around in a blitz of indignation and incandescence, as the Ibrox power-brokers play to the wild-eyed section of their gallery.

    Hints and suggestions of dark deeds done to the Govan club litter the sports pages and the airwaves in a constant diatribe of complaints which even tin foil hat wearers surely now find seriously wacky.

    For a club which traditionally traded on their respectability, they seem to have misplaced it in their purple-faced furore, which takes aim at just about everyone in Scottish football.

    To take further artistic licence, the quote attributed to Greek playwright Euripides: “Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad,” seems apt, as Rangers rage against the Scottish football world.

    What the actual substance of their complaints are is difficult to discern.

    What they want they don’t seem to know themselves.

    What evidence they have of misdeeds, if any, remains invisible.

    At best it appears to be a howl of rage that they’re no longer top dogs.

    At worst it’s an unedifying collapse into morose self-pity.

    For an institution whose refrain was always: “Dignity,” it’s all rather, well, undignified.

    Perhaps they would see it as defending an undefendable position. Not sure SSBs look in on this place other than when we play them and that's god knows when in the future.
