Well put Tom, and I think most Celtic fans have the same feelings as you have just expressed, I know I do.
As a Liverpool supporter with a leaning towards Celtic I too should feel happy about their plight. But that could so easily have been us. Plus, I don't ever feel sorry for any business men losing money as it was their choice in the first place. Being a fan is an entirely different thing.
I'm close to chucking it.
And I completely deserve it as well.
I was way too naive to place faith in those running the show and now we are where we are.
We're fooked and there is absolutely no chance of getting back.
The sooner the plug is pulled for good, the better it will be for all our sanity.
Good post Tom...and I agree with most of the sentiments. I'd be very happy if rangers were back in the top league next season. The fans have suffered enough....although I don't remember getting a lot of sympathy when they were in their 'pomp'.
As for the impact a stronger rangers would have on Scottish football...I'm not sure about that.
It might encourage Celtic to spend a bit more and give us a stronger team for a while...but I wouldn't bet on it.
Our game was already in rapid decline before rangers' problems became evident. The advent of tv money as one of the biggest revenue streams in the bigger countries and the investment that has followed it has opened up a huge gap between the haves and the have nots. We're a have not...simple as that.
Celtic and possibly rangers have to find a way out or accept the position. The other clubs have to find ways to compete better...that's been the case for 50 years or more.
Rangers coming back won't alter this general trend. The corruption and greed at the top of the game (and rangers were an early adopter of the financial madness we are in) will ensure that the gap keeps getting wider and wider....and we got conned by FFP as well btw
"Cracking post"
The pain is endless and at times really hard to understand.
On the matter of McCoist what an absolute dissapiontment he has been for Rangers on the coaching front.
Perhaps the writing was on the wall as he is from the school of Walter Smith and all the hopes of a club legend ex striker would bring attacking football has been one big myth. "Never happened" perhaps if the football was better while witnessing effort on pitch by players fans might not have been scrutinising his signing policy.
We are in serious serious danger of entering admin and facing a deduction of points ending any hope of promotion.
To hell with them. They laughed in our faces when it was us that was in trouble. They still rub our faces in it with their tainted nine in a row.
This is what they get for spending money they didn't have.

A bit hypocritical of them to expect their fans to pay taxes
Thank you UTC.
As a Rangers diehard it warms my heart to hear words such as yours expressed about my club.
It does have a personal impact on people,families,and indeed communities,here and in Scotland.
When a few celts wished Rangers dead,it did hurt and anger us,even though we expect banter and rivalry.
A decent Rangers set up benefits us all in fitba.
