Ibrox tour today was amazing guys. If u haven't done that it and u get the chance go for it. A great experience. Staff and guides were great too despite the situation, not give anything away tho but clear they feel something has to change soon. Almost apologetic to us. Certainly no real love lost with regards Martin amongst anyone. One thing that stands out as u walk through the magnificent old building and trophy room and listen to the history is a strong desire to set high standards and respect in everything and to keep tradition, and it certainly came across that he has totally disrespected everything this club means. Almost every part was highlighting a contrast with how he should be acting. U could see just how much the club and it's history means to these people and how they are hurting while trying to guide us round. Hopefully things soon change for the better but still a fantastic experience.

I wish I will take that tour soon, Kaiser.
As for RM, I am not defending him, but it is hard to get a team in a couple of months playing together with 15 new players, many of them not interested in being here.

1st time i done the tour was by tiny gallachers son john i think his name was. His attention to detail and knowledge of the club was amazing. Also personal stories of inside ibrox as a boy with his mum etc. 2nd time i don't the tour was not as good.

26 Sep 2025 17:25:43
The team that do the tours are amazing! A real credit to the club.

26 Sep 2025 17:29:12
Hope u get the chance mate and there's more a positive buzz about the place when u go.
Its a whole new team but most he new or wanted. Up to him to make a place they want to be a part of. Players and staff around the place.

Guide today was brilliant and really passionate. Took a real interest in the kids around but also tons of extra history and stories.

26 Sep 2025 17:50:26
Funnily enough I was at a tour and it was Russell Martin taking it today.

"Right folks, welcome to Ibrox, the home of Rangers Football Club. We'll start the tour… eh… at the back. Because I always like to start at the back. Don't worry about the front, we'll maybe get there eventually… sideways. "

The group of fans look confused as Martin shuffles them into a corner, points to a door, then changes his mind. "Actually, let's go left. No, wait, right. Actually let's just go sideways for a bit. You'll get there in the end — maybe. "

In the trophy room, he walks straight past the cabinets filled with silverware. "Don't look at those just yet. We'll get to them later. For now, focus on this empty space on the wall. Imagine what could be there if we keep moving the tour from side to side. "

One fan asks about the European Cup Winners' Cup. Martin shrugs. "Aye, it's in here somewhere, but let's not get too direct. We'll circle back round three or four times before we actually stop in front of it. ".

Rangers Tour is brilliant. Always a great day out. I did Windsor park and would highly recommend. I had to ask to leave. The guy had us there nearly 3 hours. He was class but boy could he talk 😂. He was handing out water and lucozade sports from the fridge in the changing room 😂. He even told the Linfield squad who were training that they better win tomorrow for us visitors 😂.

I can't fathom how he is still our manager, which leads me to believe that the poster that mentioned the 6 month clause is correct. An odd clause for someone with his (relative to the size of our club) unimpressive CV to have, you'd think it would be the opposite way around and if he has shown clear ineptitude in his role then we can cut ties for cheap before it gets worse. We have had an absolutely diabolical start to the season and seeing interviews with him constantly smirking and licking his lips just boils my blood, he should be despondent at the state of his team. That mob yesterday are not a good team and have had pretty much as bad a start to the season as us, they will be one of the easier games we will face in Europe and we should be turning them over. He's not improved a single player in the team, even coaching the talent out of Antman after 1 very promising game. I know bigger deficits have probably been overturned in the past, but the league is gone, we need a good manager in asap to get the team ticking before the cup semi final and before Europe is gone too, no matter how much it costs to bag him and his team. I really hope we have sounded someone out as we can't afford to take as long to appoint a new manager as we did with Martin.

26 Sep 2025 16:34:20
The clause certainly explains his attitude in interviews as if he feels completely untouchable.

26 Sep 2025 16:56:28
Never in a month of Sundays will he have a 6 months clause in his contract.

26 Sep 2025 15:25:43
Can someone tell me how RM can say that the players confidence is the best it's ever been. Is he for real thinking were buying this 💩.

26 Sep 2025 16:23:16
He talks utter pish Fork. I have stopped listening to him. Arrogance oozies out the clown 🫡.

26 Sep 2025 17:42:10
Listen. I can't even look at him.

26 Sep 2025 17:45:43
I dread to think what it was like when he arrived then if it's now better than that.

26 Sep 2025 15:17:14
Hi Guys and girls. Managed to log in on my original username. Thank God as I was getting sick of looking at the silly bouncing Tigger. I've been really busy over the past few weeks, though still keeping an eye on the site and posting when I have a spare few minutes.
Hope you are all well and calming down after last night's debacle.
The thing that struck me about last night (apart from the performance itself) was watching and listening to Ally visibly and audibly squirming when discussing the players/ new signings/ tactics/ manager/ fans/ board etc.
It's clear to me that he's convinced that RM is without doubt completely the wrong choice for such a massive job. Of course he can't say as much, unlike ourselves, as understandably, he wants to try and keep in with all parties. I actually felt sorry for him, as I also did with Hutton and Arfield as they tried to pick over the bones of that woeful, inept display.
Worse, the post match interviews with John Souttar and Russell Martin were so cringeworthy I found myself squirming in my seat as I listened. Souttar looked and acted as you would expect - embarrassed, confused and lost for words at times, while Martin gave his greatest performance so far, his pure arrogance stabbing every single supporter in the heart with every word. It was clear to me that this guy does not give a flying f*** about anybody but himself. How many times do we have to listen to his deflections and excuses? How bad does it need to get to get through to him that his system is not working and needs to be changed RIGHT NOW?
As people on here have said, there is undoubted talent in this squad. Surely we need to be setting up the guys in their correct positions and playing to their strengths. I feel sorry for the likes of Moore and Asgaard who are constantly played out of position, stifling their natural talent.
Hoping and praying for confirmation that he's gone before he does serious damage to the club. As I've said previously (though I can change like the wind! ) - I'm not going back to Ibrox until he's gone, though I fully understand others that may not want to do this. Either way, I believe everybody now knows that he has to go, and go quickly, before the league is out of our grasp. 9 points and counting.

26 Sep 2025 16:23:35
Good to see you back on bud👍👍.

26 Sep 2025 16:36:50
Feel exactly the same way seeker. Esp regarding McCoist and the other pundits. They were really struggling to hold back.

26 Sep 2025 17:01:47
Cheers forky, I hope to contribute more to the mad house from now on. Not enough hours in the day at the moment, pal.

26 Sep 2025 17:39:29
Seeker👍👍.

26 Sep 2025 14:49:46
I agree wholeheartedly that martin is way out his depth, but having said that whoever is scouting these player's is not far off just as bad.

Chermiti (strangest transfer ever)
Aarons (woeful)
Djiga (good player in English league 1)
Fernandes (another utterly strange transfer)
Rothwell (who knows)
Aasgaard (not cutting it at all)
Moore (terrible signing, didn't understand it at the time, still don't)
Antman (1 good game, confidence shot to pieces)
Gassa ( looks a player but goes missing every other game)
Cameron ( one of our better signings, but something stinks with this fake injury.

We swapped igamane for chermiti
Dessers for miovski
Balogun for djiga
Aarons was supposed to be tavs replacement, who is 3 years passed his best, but tav keeping him out team.
Aasgaard for hagi etc etc. Our full scouting network needs showing the door it's dire.

26 Sep 2025 15:03:44
Boy blue, I'm convinced with a better manager these players would be doing much better.

26 Sep 2025 15:10:02
I agree with Mark44 these players would be much better in a better system with a better manager where they understand the tasks and are able to play to their strengths.

26 Sep 2025 15:32:16
A good manager would get a tune out of them all. jury out on chermiti.

26 Sep 2025 15:40:32
I believe this manager has broke their confidence and they prob don't want to play and it shows, yes their professional and should give their best but they are human so things do effect them
Think we will be surprised how well they can play under a different type manager and tactics.

26 Sep 2025 16:02:56
Right there with you BB4, our summer recruitment has been absolutely dire. Even with another manager I still see these players as nowhere near the requires quality.

Seen so many folk say Gassama is great but I don't see it at all, he has a coupe of goals but done nothing of note since our first few games and you can see why he never gets assists either.

26 Sep 2025 16:04:46
Blue

Not going to slag off individuals because still believe making team under right manager but we and why not Thelwell et Al don't see RM nowhere near right man I'll never know. Are they scared compensation? Small price to get right man and team playing. I live in hope.

26 Sep 2025 16:23:43
Utter drivel BB4. Martin GTF 🫡.

26 Sep 2025 16:26:45
I honestly can't believe we spanked 8 million on this kid (not his fault) when the defence is in that much of a mess. Martin and whoever sanctioned it need to go.

26 Sep 2025 16:32:52
Totally agree Mark. I think Martin has sucked the life and confidence out of the players, bringing in a manager with with a style which may allow the players to feel more comfortable and to allow them to play to their strengths.

26 Sep 2025 17:21:26
Dessers for Miovski is a great swap.

26 Sep 2025 13:56:52
I put this on another thread but too far down. Why are some of our fans so against SG coming back. Tell. me who is a better manager since walter that we have had?

26 Sep 2025 14:57:41
OT I will say that I hated SG when he left but after some time I started to understand his reasons for leaving the way he did, we know he loves the club and fanbase but was treated so poorly by the previous regime and the EPL lure and being closer to his family is totally understandable.

For me he demands respect because he achieved so much in his career and players would play for someone like him, whereas RM has done NOTHING.

He did go unbeaten and had Celtics number by the time he left, so for me I would gladly have him back.

26 Sep 2025 15:13:24
How was he treated wrongly. He demanded we kept Buff even though he wanted away, had players on astronomical salaries, took 3 years to win anything and only did so during covid.

Claimed he wanted home nearer his family and left a week after saying he was happy where he was. We couldn't give him money in the transfer window because we were skint paying the costs of the players he didn't want to let go at their prime.

Yes i agree i would have him over RM but he isn't the saviour you all think he is. he has done nothing since leaving so how does demanding respect solve his other failings.

26 Sep 2025 15:33:32
Lets get the deal done. i'm all for his return and watch how he gets those players ticking along like a swizz watch.

26 Sep 2025 16:24:07
I would have Stevie G back in a heartbeat 🫡.

26 Sep 2025 17:23:22
I would take Beale ball over this.
