Good man that Hugh Adams was in his dealings with Rangers pools, but who told you he was Rangers chairman at any time???
Poor show from a Rangers obsessive like yourself!!!

I'll go to my grave saying we should have signed Tierney instead of Digne

Tierney is the real deal. I actually prefer him to Robertson.
Apart from a few years in the 80s when Alex Ferguson won with Aberdeen, the Scottish league has always been a 2 horse race. Celtic and Rangers have both won over 50 titles, next best are a couple of teams on 4.
A friendly in Sydney is going to make absolutely sod all difference.

That time you're absolutely raging at an article, but can't argue it because it's a former director of your ex-club who stated the facts, so you end up sniping about my getting him being a chairman wrong. ???
I admit my knowledge of Rangers., and The Rangers, chairmen isn't great. I misread the article. He was however a director at Rangers, and has said they looked into this, and found Celtic were better supported worldwide.
He also told you if things didn't change Rangers would be bankrupt, and guess what? ?

Iirc, at the time Everton were linked with him some of the posters on here were saying Tierney played in a farmers/pub league. Not you btw. ?
He hasn't done too badly for a farmer who goes to the pub...

Back in Fergie's day Rangers and Celtic in particular didn't splash out loads of money on players. Rangers always spent more than Celtic who's board had the infamous biscuit tin mentality.
I remember when Frank McDougal played for Clydebank Celtic and St Mirren were linked with him, and St Mirren ended up getting him. I highly doubt nowadays St Mirren would put together a more attractive package to potential singings than Celtic.
Those same people said the same about VVD when I had the temerity to say we should sign him instead of Ramiro Funes Mori

I will tell you politely now.. Do NOT patronise me like that.
People will say that about anyone who plays outside the PL.
They're also the same people who say we shouldn't sign established Premier League players because, they're here for a payday/top 6 reject and not good enough and we need to unearth gems from other leagues.
If I had the choice, I would choose st mirren too ?
Yes, there will always be some individuals that chose clubs other than the old firm, and the financial gap is wider now than before, but when 2 teams have won over 50 titles each, and third is a team with 4, it would be quite silly to claim it hasn't always been a 2 horse race.

Raging??? ? Your the one that made a cnut of it!!! ?
Fact is that you in your excitement to highlight a 20 year old newspaper article being attributed to a former (in your bitter old head) Chairman AND Managing director of Rangers Football Club it has only highlighted the fact that you regularly misread(as you admit!) and misquote articles to suit your bigoted agenda on here.

Ok I'll just give you my honest opinion.
In my opinion, the reasons you gave were ludicrous.

It wasn't always a 2 horse race before the mid 90's. obviously Celtic and Rangers still won the majority of titles, but Aberdeen and Dundee Untied won titles, and I remember Hibs, hearts, and iirc Motherwell finishing second. T
With the money both Glasgow club spend that isn't likely to happen very often. I realise other clubs finished second when the newco as on it's journey to the top division, but those were exceptional circumstances. It's unlikely to happen very often nowadays.

He's snapped!
You regular accuse me of bigoty, yet when I ask you to provide any actual evidence of this you waffle utter Scheidt, then do walking away. You're an embarrassment, son. People posting facts is a 'bigoted agenda' according to the staunch ones, like you.
I admit I didn't know he wasn't the chairman of Rangers. I got that completely wrong. As I admitted, my knowledge of Rangers chairmen is sadly lacking. He was however a director at Rangers.
I don't want to be accused of misquoting as part of a bigoted agenda, so I'll just quote this part verbatim
'Not given to sensationalism, this essentially conservative disciple of prudent forward planning and low-risk business principles did, however, cause something of a shock by observing almost matter-of-factly that, if Rangers continue on their present track, their ultimate destination will be bankruptcy.
"That’s the logical conclusion to a strategy that incurs serious loss year on year," said Adam. "In the past five years - and it’s all there in the last annual report - Rangers have lost 80million.
"Now, the banks are well known for being a bit more tolerant of companies whose core business is a popular pursuit like football. But there is a limit to how far backwards they can bend to accommodate you.
"David Murray has always had an amazing persuasiveness when it comes to getting people to put money into his businesses, but the signs are that those sources have dried up.
"The 40million worth of shares that ENIC (English National Investment Company) bought a few years ago are now worth about 15million, with no evidence to suggest that they will recover. The money itself, that which was actually invested, was lost some time ago.
“Now the latest investor, Dave King from South Africa, will know that his 20million shareholding is worth around half, or even less, of what it was when he bought. No proper businessman will want to buy into that kind of loss.'
