Anybody Know how much the seats are on the Govan Front?
🔴⚪🔵.
1.) 28 Mar 2017 15:59:53
£27 I think
2.) 28 Mar 2017 17:13:55
Sorry mate. I actually meant for the season lol
🔴⚪🔵
3.) 28 Mar 2017 20:53:52
Still £27. fro the season, and you get a free BIG FOAM hand too boot. lol
4.) 29 Mar 2017 00:33:23
Im in Govan front and this season was£445.
5.) 29 Mar 2017 11:08:40
I sat in the govan front for a season belter of a seat mate but if it rains yer soaked man the govan rear is better seat i say.
6.) 29 Mar 2017 20:02:36
No chief, I think that the big foam hand is £27 mate and the seat is just the bonus lol
Plus, it can only be purchased at SD too.
7.) 30 Mar 2017 14:44:44
oh my god would you listen to these celtic fans on here I've never laughed so hard the patter that comes from them, i think its 27 quid for the foam hand the seat is a bonus!
8.) 31 Mar 2017 16:41:19
Sorry BRUISEDBEAR, but Baxter never played for East Fife. He played for Raith Rovers.
23 Mar 2017 15:49:22
Remembering today the greatness of Davie Cooper. A huge talent and wish we had someone in our side today with even one 5th of his ability.
Davie Cooper, Legend!
🔴⚪🔵.
1.) 23 Mar 2017 19:26:02
Loved watching Cooper, as a Celtic fan he was the one Rangers player i would try and copy, out on the old red ash on a baltic Saturday morning. Wonderful, wonderful player.
2.) 23 Mar 2017 22:26:10
I remember visiting my grandad up at Craigend and we had a kick about on one of those pitches, not best for sliding around on from what I remember!
3.) 23 Mar 2017 21:15:37
Used to meet Davie Cooper in the Avonbridge hotel in Hamilton with my big mate. Singed our cup final tickets when he was in with Jimmy Nic. He also came to my old Primary School in Hamilton and gave us some football skills session and gave us all a Rangers lapel badge.
True gentleman and my hero.
You only see this type of genius rarely. That free kick against Aberdeen quality. Bandy legs did not get near it even on the way out.
I am sure god will be playing DC wide left in the heavens 11.
4.) 24 Mar 2017 08:40:00
Red ash pitch, mitre moldmaster fitbaw, freezing Saturday morning leaving a frosty glaze on the pitch, both managers combing the pitch to remove the odd bits of broken gingey bottles. Glesga. What a time to be alive.
5.) 24 Mar 2017 10:22:19
Getting skelped in the legs with the mitre then your mum scrubbing out the bits of grit ahhh memories lol
6.) 24 Mar 2017 11:53:00
Vote4Pedro that time you are referring to on the ask parks and the broken bottles produced some of the best Scottish talent in the last 50 years. No one plays football anymore other than arrange games with boys clubs etc.
We used to meet up every Sunday at 1.00, 20 lads jumper down and off we went. During the week we were out every night with a ball practicing our skills. The hunger has gone. The mental boys no longer have the football genius.
Now they just appear disruptive and badly behaved and lack the skills. I run a team of kids under 10s we have outstanding kids in a team of 20.
Surprise Surprise the 4 in question are from a council estate and have ability desire skill and hunger to succeed. They do take a ball out on the streets most nights. The some of the kids from more affluent backgrounds don't practice, moan constantly and mess about at training and are being constantly asked to listen.
I would have thought this would be fairly typical of modern society and a mixture of kids. Back when I was at the boys club the coaches would have gave you a shouting or a clip round the lug and told to pay attention.
7.) 24 Mar 2017 15:56:52
11TheBest I was genuinely reminiscing about the good ol days. Some great memories. Broken gingeys added a bit of glamour to the affair. No jumpers down for us I'm afraid, partly because our red ash parks had goals (no nets) and we were scared that somebody would bump our jumper. I'm not sure I agree with you regarding loss of talent. I'm pretty sure red ash parks had nothing to do with it. If you're looking for something to blame for that then look no further than media and technology.
8.) 24 Mar 2017 17:22:50
Being one myself, i find that its the boys from council estates that have the greater need to do well, a point to prove against society. And most will have had a good working class attitude engraved into their DNA. Its the boys from the same estates from broken homes that our game by passes, be it single parentage, unemployment or all manner of issues, they are simply being priced out of the game, they can't afford the fees or kit, its utterly shameful. This Country has lost more talent that way than it'll ever produce. Its a scandal that young lads can't get to kick a ball about because of fees.
9.) 24 Mar 2017 22:59:52
Gents this has been an interesting conversation maybe it reflects society in Scotland today. Me and a few of my mates took a trial for the Accies way back in 1983 unfortunately non of us made it but we played till mid 30s. now coaching my boys team and it feels great to give something back to a game I love. We have a couple of kids that I would love the Rangers to look at but who know what the scouting system is like at Ibrox
I feel like drinking two of our kids down and asking rangers to take a look.
22 Mar 2017 06:31:49
I think one lad we should definitely be looking at in the summer is Ally Crawford. We could get him more or less for nothing. Especially if hamilton go down. Also John Mcginn from Hibs. Two of the best young midfielders currently in the Scottish game although, I wouldn't be totally suprised if Mcginn is snapped up by the village people
🔴⚪🔵.
1.) 22 Mar 2017 09:14:44
I don't understand why Crawford has been overlooked by everyone the past few seasons. Really tidy player. Always turns up against us. Makes me think there's something more to it, doesn't train well, bad attitude or something. McGinn can chase himself m. No chance
2.) 22 Mar 2017 09:52:34
Why? Because his name is John Mcginn and a Celtic fan or plays for Hibs. He is one of the best young midfielders in our country. I call on anybody here to deny that statement. If we are to get back to the top then we need a proper balance of the best of Scottish and foreign gems. Off hand I cannot think of a better young scottish midfielder currently in our team.
🔴⚪🔵
3.) 22 Mar 2017 10:16:58
Would rather have Kenny McLean than John McGinn. How McGinn gets a Scotland call up baffles me. He is mediocre.
4.) 22 Mar 2017 10:25:42
How you can say he is mediocre baffles me. He gets a call up for the reasons I stated earlier. If Mcginn played for us he would be first team regular for sure.
🔴⚪🔵
5.) 22 Mar 2017 10:23:21
Nowhere good enough
6.) 22 Mar 2017 10:33:48
Neither are good enough, a lot of hibs fans don't even rate mcginn he look out his depths at that level never mind the spl. He can't pass or shoot, he runs around fouling folk and getting book for his lip. Should never ever be in the Scotland squad.
Cummings and stevie millan would be much better signings.
7.) 22 Mar 2017 10:37:43
I would like to hope we will be aiming for better players than that to be honest
8.) 22 Mar 2017 10:40:33
Ped we don't want or need anymore Celtic minded players? McGinn over rated and only has one eyebrow. No thanks
9.) 22 Mar 2017 10:41:12
Got to agree, i think mcginn is a cart horse.
10.) 22 Mar 2017 11:08:58
Well the man who picks our national team thinks different and I agree with him on that one. One eyebrow lol we don't need Celtic minded. I never said we did. I will say we need good players and he is better than anything we have. His eyebrow is inexcusable though fair enough. No to John McGinn. NEXT.
🔴⚪🔵
11.) 22 Mar 2017 11:22:20
I work with John's sister and got her to ask him if he would come to Rangers. He said not a chance. I do like him as a player and think he can have a bright future in the Scotland squad but he needs to move away from Hibs imo and his attitude towards that question will hold him back in his career and shows a lack of ambition. Can't see celtic going for him so if he wanted to move up a level rangers would be his best option and yet he has no interest. Off down south to be lost in the wilderness of mediocrity of the English football it is then!
12.) 22 Mar 2017 12:33:30
Ped you're right, it's mostly because he plays for Hibs and supports Celtic. There's better out there and we don't need to stoop to that IMO. Maybe I'm being petty. I'm one of the few who still holds a grudge against KM. I know I'll prob get slated but sorry I can't help it.
Regarding Ali Crawford, he's definitely good enough. I've been watching him closely for a few years and with a higher quality player around him, he'd be class for us. Just look at Armstrong for them.
13.) 22 Mar 2017 14:12:14
McGinn would be our best midfielder but he would never play for us, and that's coming from his dad. He hates Rangers and if he is good enough for us then he is good enough to go somewhere else which he will eventually do.
Crawford is the opposite. I don't know him or anything like that, not even a bit. But I know he's a rangers man and desperate to play for us. Low price, low risk, possible high return. Good enough to be like Naisy.
14.) 22 Mar 2017 14:51:01
Spoc mcginn, ask your sonif he has any spare tickets for upcoming games please
15.) 22 Mar 2017 15:44:05
well isn't that funny people make out that we are terrible after making the step up and call our players championship quality because they played well down there and those same people are saying we should sign mcginn who isn't even lighting it up in that devision?
16.) 22 Mar 2017 15:53:43
He is no good, that's why he's still at hibs. Chesney only gives him Scotland call ups because of his grandfather. He looks poor in the championship, he's not even as good as Halliday.
17.) 22 Mar 2017 16:02:27
As I said before, Warburton's legacy seems to be that the fans will now accept mediocrity as the norm. I'm sure both of these average journeymen will be somewhere near the very bottom of PC's list of potential transfers if they make it there at all.
17 Mar 2017 22:15:33
I think every player under the new manager should be given a second chance from our fans. Big keirnan included. He was a bit of a fall guy for a previous tactic that left our centre halfs largely exposed. Andy Halliday also, who was played out of position. Pedro has spoken about finding a set up to suit the players we have and that is the sign of a good coach. Warburton (Who I did like) bought players to suit his tactic which in hindsight should have shown an inability to change. 🔴⚪🔵.
1.) 17 Mar 2017 22:52:37
That might be a step too far for some of the naysayers on here!
We have a good squad that needs some reinforcements and a style of play that suits the guys on the park as opposed to the drawing board
2.) 17 Mar 2017 23:13:49
The players you mention regularly give the ball away and usually under no pressure. That's nothing to do with tactics, being exposed or being played out of position. There is a reason why Kiernan hasn't spent too long at many clubs and as long as players like him are being picked you can forget about getting within 20 points of Celtic
3.) 17 Mar 2017 23:21:57
Wouldn't havery halliday anywhere near the side.
4.) 17 Mar 2017 23:36:50
Sorry Bengy but Brenda at Celtic disproves your theory. most of their players were shocking last season under Ronnie. this season with a couple of additions they have been transformed.
Are you suggesting that we cannot replicate that with better coaching and tactics?
5.) 18 Mar 2017 07:11:55
BR65
How do you work that out? Yeah they were that bad they still won the league comfortably. If you think Kiernan will be transformed by the new manager then your delusional and are obviously drinking the same stuff Warburton did
6.) 18 Mar 2017 07:14:25
BR65
No you can't replicate that with players like Kiernan and Halliday these guys are simply not good enough and the new manager isn't a magician.
7.) 18 Mar 2017 07:31:46
BR65 is correct and to say Celtic won the league comfortably is an exageration to say the least. Are you seriously telling me the proper coaching and tactics has nothing to do with individual player performances? Then sorry but you have a poor understanding of the game. Look at Charlie Adam for example. Played out of position in a style the never suited him and was sold for buttons, with just about every single Rangers fan sayin he was rubbish and not fit to wear our shirt. The rest is history. 🔴⚪🔵
8.) 18 Mar 2017 07:41:11
Big-ped
I would say winning the league by 15 points is comfortable and if you think it's tight then it's obvious you don't understand much. To compare Halliday to Adam is laughable. Adam performed for Rangers in the champions league and played some really good games against some top quality sides. Maybe you should also read my post again and tell me where I said proper coaching and tactics can't improve a players performance? I am saying neither Kiernan or Halliday are good enough and no matter who the coach is they will never be the required standard we need. I would have thought that was pretty simple to understand even for you
9.) 18 Mar 2017 08:06:10
There's no need to get personal. It took Celtic to the last 10 games or so to clinch the league and Aberdeen absolutley imploded. Even our team with Keirnan and Halliday and any other of our players you don't like, slaughtered them in that semi. Now they bring in a better manager with the ability to change the game tacticly and 2 new players and they pump us 5-1. I am not saying Halliday or the rest are great players but they must be given a chance under a new manager. Guys like you at the start of the season had us going for 55, now we are going for 11 new players! 🔴⚪🔵
10.) 18 Mar 2017 08:19:55
I know this is irrelavent now but if we won every game from now till the end of the season we would only be about 9 points off their total finnish last season. My point is its not all doom and gloom. Hopefully Pedro can get the best out of our players and make a few good signings. It's not a big a gap as some might have us believe 🔴⚪🔵
11.) 18 Mar 2017 08:36:00
Big_ped
Can you show me a post from me saying that we would be going for 55 at the start of the season? Think you'll find I was never a Warburton fan and have been consistent about this since last season. I took a lot abuse for this from a lot of fellow posters but I ended up being proved right.
12.) 18 Mar 2017 08:40:43
Big_ped
It took Celtic to the last 10 games to clinch the league. Your quote! 10 games that's winning the league comfortably. If it was 2 or 3 games it's tight but 10! If you don't think 33 points is a big gap then heaven help us. Also do you really think we slaughtered them in the semi? Winning on penalties when Roberts missed an open goal and Griffiths hit the woodwork twice.
13.) 18 Mar 2017 09:07:20
Considering where we have come from, yourself and many others are/ were expecting to much. I would bet my scarf you are a Ally hater and where is kings promised millions shouter. I stand by my original post and its fair comment. Now if you don't agree with it I don't care. It's all about opinions. I am entitled to mine and you yours. Now I am sorry but I have no time for people who won't stand behind our team. A new manager hopefully a better time. Get on the bus or get off at the next stop mate
🔴⚪🔵
14.) 18 Mar 2017 10:22:50
Well said Big Ped! Too many supporters on here ready to slaughter our team and be proved right when we fail.
Sad trait, better to be positive and deal with disappointment when it arrives that to be constantly predicting it.
15.) 18 Mar 2017 10:31:05
"Sad trait, better to be positive and deal with disappointment when it arrives that to be constantly predicting it. "
BR65
So it was better to support Murray, Whyte, Green and co while they were in charge rather than point out their faults?
16.) 18 Mar 2017 15:14:24
The difference is this BR, Celtics under performing players last season were Internationalists who have proved themselves this season. Whereas you have a team of journeymen from Englands lower leagues who won't get any better.
17.) 18 Mar 2017 16:54:50
Kiernan is poor and just isn't good enough. Halliday has been poor this season and has no confidence and although a new manager may give him some confidence I am skeptical about if he is good enough too. Of course with better coaching and tactics players can improve I don't see anyone on here saying to the contrary however if players just aren't good enough then they aren't good enough no matter who the coach is
18.) 18 Mar 2017 17:29:33
I'm with you Big_ped! I know exactly what you're meaning and what you're getting at mate! It isn't all doom and gloom and that's coming from myself, who goes everywhere supporting glasgow rangers, just like i have done for nigh on 43 years now! I've put plenty of dough into the club i love! Shareholder, season ticket holder, boy and man!
19.) 18 Mar 2017 17:46:49
@Big_Ped
Fair play on your optimism mate. last week I thought man for man Rangers were outstanding and deserved the points. new manager. a performance like that against us. every right to be optimistic and yeah why can't Pedro turn the fortunes of players like Kiernan around!
13 Mar 2017 16:22:55
I really think we need to strengthen every area of the park for next season. I can't think of a single player who I could say without doubt will or should be a first team regular next year. Great result yesterday but we need to be honest with ourselves. We are still a good bit behind Celtic man for man 🔴⚪🔵.
1.) 13 Mar 2017 16:39:50
Remember we've rossiter and niko to come back in if they manage to get upto speed with no lasting issues then they will have a big season for us! Also matt crooks has a chance to come in and fight for a place! i'd be happy to lose senderos keirnan halliday ohalleran possibly tav! We must bring in a solid RB 2 CBs a midfield anchor and a goalscorer! Fingers crossed we see mckay windass and a few others kicking on under pedro and putting in perfomances they are capable of
2.) 13 Mar 2017 17:26:52
Agree with much of what you have said mate. Although, much as I hate to say it I think Kranjcar is done. We did see flashes of a great player but I can't see him having a big impact next year. Rossiter I really like. If he can stay fit and progress then there is no doubt he could be a huge player for us. 🔴⚪🔵
3.) 13 Mar 2017 19:46:00
Got to play hodson at right back in every game.
4.) 13 Mar 2017 19:48:14
Good point Nic. With Rossiter and Kranjcar in midfield and if we can sign Hyndman that looks strong. We haven't seen what Crooks or Windass can do due to injuries. I thought Hodson did well at right back and we have young Bates as one centre back. We need to replace Kenny Miller and Clint Hill due to their ages.
5.) 13 Mar 2017 20:48:13
I think you'll see a much improved performance from all players in the coming weeks.
Very few if them are bad players but they have been asked to perform in roles that they were not suitable for.
It appears that PC will take a more pragmatic approach to get the best out of what we have rather than putting square pegs in round holes.
4 new signings in the summer will be fine if they are targeted where we need them most
6.) 13 Mar 2017 21:19:24
Got to agree about Krankjar. His career was winding down and I don't think he can come back from that type of injury. Most young guys are never the same player after them.
7.) 15 Mar 2017 23:53:31
people are just being idiots now to say we haven't got a single player seriously get a grip we have good quality in our team. i think with the right tactics that we could see a lot of our players flourish like the way branda has brought out the best in what was there forrest, armstrong, bitton, brown. all those players where worse than ours last year but sumhow are much better this year so don't get carries away 4-5 signings of qulity will turn the rest of them into better players
05 Apr 2017 14:12:38
Has everybody forgetten that Wayne Rooney is a massive Celtic fan. He has been to countless Celtic games against us. He would sign for Rangers if we matched his current wage at United.
04 Apr 2017 11:47:15
I have to agree, Amoruso was average at best. Under pressure great but plenty of time he was woeful. Loved that big guy though.
🔴⚪🔵
30 Mar 2017 07:22:28
Johnstone even pmsl.
30 Mar 2017 00:04:48
Well a certain 16 year old called Derek Ferguson scored the winner against them in the 1970 league cup final infront of 106,000 fans. Youth have no fear. If Gilmour is as good as they say, get him playing whatever games he can. The old saying "if your good enough, your old enough" springs to mind.
🔴⚪🔵
28 Mar 2017 05:33:14
I really liked Mark Warburton but I think he really missed the boat for us here. He could have been firing that boy on the last ten mins of games and giving him a flavour of the first team. It might have given the lad more encouragement to stay.
🔴⚪🔵
17 Apr 2017 12:19:00
Hyndman is a good player and I can understand you liking him to Durrant to some extend. Although, in my opinion Ian Durrant pre-injury could have and should have become one of the greatest if not thee greatest player ever to pull on our shirt. Durrant was outstanding
🔴⚪🔵
13 Apr 2017 19:21:44
Fab, I don't usually find myself agreeing with you, but I agree with your last post 100% mate. I have post on here on a couple of occassions about John McGinn. He is a fine young player and in my opinion one of the best young Scottish talents just now. a lot of my fellow bears can't see past the end of their nose when it comes to him and its because of two reasons; 1, He is a Hibs player and 2, and more importantly he is a Celtic fan.
30 Mar 2017 10:41:59
The fact of the matter is, outwith the oldfirm the demand is just not there for it. It is as pure and simple as that and onlyshow is correct. The demand is not there because of the standard of the games on show. That's not a poor mentality. It's the truth.
