NEW VIDEO: Rangers have lost their last two home games, haven't scored in either of them, erm, either. Here I reveal the unheralded, almost unnoticed, change to our management and coaching line-up since last Saturday's Ibrox loss to St Mirren. And how it might help. Plus Tav turns 500.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

I see the Tates are now "controversial influencers" rather than just nonces.

NEW VIDEO: After seven straight days of mayhem, a chillaxed, smooth, almost boring win at Rugby Park was exactly what Rangers fans wanted. Instead, we got what we needed. "This is how shite we have been" laid bare and quickly transformed into "this is how great we will be". Welcome back, Barry.

"Character, Davo" Damn straight, Barry. That substitution, on the half hour, could have made you look even more out your depth than the scoreline already indicated. You could've looked panicky. But you didn't care about you - you just cared about Rangers winning. It needed doing. Character, Davo.

Oh. Barry Barry Barry, Barry, Barry, Barry Ferguson. Oh. 2-0 Killie. Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers scored four straight.

It's the end of February and Barry Ferguson has us three more points behind Celtic than we were when he took over. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL THE BOARD PUT UP WITH THIS??!! #boycott

This is the guy who came from nowhere, ran a TikTok campaign for President of Romania to become the front runner, leading to the Constitutional Court annulling the election. There is literally nothing Russia will stop at to meddle in other countries' politics

🚨 NEW MERCH UPDATE 🚨 You can now purchase "FUCK ELON M*SK" stickers straight from my store. I'll take care of shipping so you get what you pay for 🫡 🇺🇸 www.christianrincon.com/store/fuck-e...

TUESDAY'S VIDEO: Bazza impresses at presser.

MONDAY'S VIDEO: Yes, one for every day of the week now. Well, this last week anyway. Just need to deal with the takeover talk and the sacking of Philippe Clement and when we get an interim manager I'll be back to normal amounts of ... sorry, what? The caretaker is who? Nah. You've got to be shi...

Reposting anti-Musk memes on Bluesky:

Won the league with Genk and Club Brugge, struggled a bit with AS Monaco - couldn't make it work at Rangers. What we need, clearly, is someone who won a league with Kelty Hearts and struggled a bit at Clyde and Alloa. ONLY JOKING! It's not like that. That's not how it works. Bazza is back, baby.

NEWER THAN NEW AND NEWLY NEWER THAN THE LAST NEW VIDEO, NEW VIDEO: Manager sacked. Been sticking up for him all season but, frankly, after a week of extra pods covering the CEO's statement then a potential US takeover, to turn in a CRISIS POD performance v St Mirren means he can just fu** right off.

Phillipe Clement sacked. This one lasted longer than the last two. We're getting closer and closer to completing an entire season with the same manager. Fourth Time lucky🤞 You Go, Tedz!

NEW VIDEO: Rangers support's excitement over possible takeover utterly crushed by, of all people, would you believe it, Rangers FC.

Wow. A corner routine. Liverpool reminding me, at Man City, of what we used to think was one of Rangers main problems. #HeadyDays

Another video. I'm just really, really sorry. But had to do a separate one for all the takeover tittle-tattle.

Myself and newly-married Brian discuss American investors, Turkish titans and Paisley Buddies. And Leeds United and the San Francisco 49ers.

NEW VIDEO: Buddies before Jose, all wrapped up in a big miasma of blind optimism about the future of Rangers obfuscating the horrific embarrassment about the last time we played at Ibrox.

Murdoch’s New York Post today. #ukraine🇺🇦

(we are not reaching the final. Probably not getting past Fenerbahce to be honest)

Rangers-Fener rematch in the Last 16. Could be a rematch with Athletic Bilbao in the quarters, Man U in the semis and a repeat of the 2022 final in the, erm, final. In Spain again. In fact, only new opponent possible before the final are Roma. If we reach the final Athletic Club can't: more tickets

Someone better tell DOGE there’s this guy working from home

Philippe Clement knows nothing about this club and should do one, taking Park with him. NFL-crazy Americans though: PLEASE COME AND TAKE US WE LOVE YOU.

Bodø/Glimt or Fenerbahce. Youth, speed, freezing cold; tiny ground, funny fans, groovy manager. Or Experience, aged, roasting hot; huge stadium, scary fans, bona fide legend manager. Doesn't really matter though. Trump will make Uefa gift the trophy to Moscow Dynamo anyway.

Gotta love the British press! 🇬🇧

First half Twente were doing the perfect impersonation of us at Tynecastle on Sunday. Winning 1-0 at the break without a single shot on goal - an OG from a corner - and approx 2% possession. Until a Celtic centre-half bailed out by VAR at Ibrox is caught by VAR above the arctic circle.

The 1949ers

Calling it "the American Revolution" is seriously unstaunch: The American Revolution was Republicanism defeating Britain. Calling it "Make Rangers Great Again" is seriously unstaunch coz Trump is a Russian asset who is currently gifting our country to Putin.

What else did we expect from PSG when they're up against someone from one of those Mickey Mouse domestic leagues?

Trump now openly lobbying against Zelensky, using the least subtle fake news ever promulgated by Russian bots, as he brazenly sucks up to a fellow bully to try and steal the minerals lunch money from the wrong kid. Russia hasn't defeated Ukraine in three years of trying, Donald, you silly coward.

RIP Rick Buckler.. youtu.be/x8aoHrDZGt4?...

Not just the first record I think of when anyone mentions Rick Buckler but the first record I think of when anyone mentions drumming.

40 years ago today, BBC1's iconic Mirror Globe rotated for the last time. Designed by Sid Sutton, who created the Doctor Who starfield titles, with updated versions from Oliver Elmes, who created the McCoy era Doctor Who titles, it ran from 1969-1985. A graphic design classic.

There's neither enough West Highland Way signage nor enough places for a cuppa & cake said no-one about Milngavie town centre ever I didn't even bother taking a photograph so here's one from Dumbarton instead

Hugely privileged man baby would rather country was taken over by a brutal dictator than pay taxes he had planned to avoid. Nice. #TaxTheRich #Cnuts #Putin

NEW VIDEO: Genre-bending moment as Rangers podcaster patently enjoys Rangers victory.

NEW VID: Fan media very quiet at pre-Jambos presser while trad media tells Rangers manager, "Clement, Clement, Get Tae Fu**..."

Such awful news. Paddy Barclay has died. A superb writer, a magnificent man, a friend of thirty years. How we will miss that smile.

Jack Posobiec has boosted not one, not two, but *three* Russian intelligence-backed operations. One of them, a website called SouthFront that U.S. Treasury sanctioned in 2021 and said "receives taskings from the FSB," regularly published disinformation on the war in Ukraine.

I don't know if it's Nike being, as always, shitter than Adidas or vertical yellow being worse than horizontal white but Brest are doing the 80s pinstripe revival so much better than Liverpool.
