So another trip to the home of the lot from the dark side. No Guard of Honour but have to say I'm not surprised. Just hope that players remember to take scarves to tie around the goal posts. Morelos to score a hat-trick would be nice.

Here's to a Blues Double today. Beers at the ready.

understandably Rangers look like a team who are in post season mode. they've achieved what they set out to achieve, they'd be on the beach if COVID restrictions allowed that.......

55 - I've seen that number before somewhere.  The game has started to open up a wee bit after that goal.

Great goal by Morelos. Would have been a great goal from Kent as well but for a fine save.

I'm not a fan of Scott Brown - and that's putting it mildly - but fair play to him for going over to Kamara during the warm-up and offering his support after what happened on Thursday.

slow start; this game will be won by the team that wants to win it most - few issues defensively we need to sort out

Celtic are getting a lot of space on the Rangers right hand side. Time to bring on Patterson?

maybe - he's carrying a knock though from the other night 

Rangers TV discussing Player of the Year. Obviously I'd say the Ulster Pirlo but it's a tough call - so many guys have had a really excellent season

Good point. As you say, need to sort out the defence. 

I still detest Brown, utter scum.

Agree, will be a tough call. The Ulster Pirlo has been brilliant as has been Shagger. Aribo is in with a shout as well.

I think the way this year has gone has really hurt him - it's great!!

Still unbeaten, now to the Chels 

A win would have been nice but a draw means they stay unbeaten in the league. Now to concentrate on the Chelsea match. Switching between two screens can be a right pain.

A bit different. Next year marks the 150th anniversary of the formation of Rangers in 1872. 2022 also marks the 50th anniversary of Rangers winning the Cup Winners Cup in 1972.

IN March 2022, Rangers Football Club will celebrate the monumental milestone of the club's 150th anniversary. 2021 will see the build-up to this special occasion begin, with that landmark being followed shortly afterwards by the 50th anniversary of our European Cup Winners’ Cup win celebrations in May 2022.

As Europe’s first major club to reach 150 years, Rangers are determined to celebrate the landmark to the maximum, with work already well-underway to make it a season and a year to remember for our fans all around the world.

Rangers have gone on to become one of the biggest names in world football with millions of passionate followers worldwide. Despite its global fanbase, the club’s roots in the local community remain as strong as ever.

The club was founded by four young lads – Moses McNeil, Peter McNeil, William McBeath and Peter Campbell - who had a dream to start a football team whilst walking through West End Park (now known as Kelvingrove Park) in March 1872.

The first match was a friendly held at Fleshers’ Haugh which became the club’s home for the first three years. The club has a deep history with Glasgow and has had many homes throughout the city before moving to the site of the current Ibrox Stadium in 1899.

Forever proud of our origins, it was important to launch a crest that upholds the Rangers values and details which are symbolic to the club. The ribbon which features below the crest design was influenced by the decorative crests from the club's earliest documented member books which feature an ornamental scroll ribbon. The ribbon design is synonymous with Ibrox where it features in the crests displayed on the side elevation of the iconic Bill Struth Main Stand.

In the summer of 2020, the club launched an evolution of our brand identity and unveiled an updated ‘Ready’ crest which displayed our core ‘READY’ message in a new, modern way. ‘Ready’ has always had significant meaning in the club’s history. For the anniversary, ‘Forever Ready’ will be the message that unites everything we do as a club to celebrate 150 incredible years – and fittingly, Rangers enter this milestone year as Champions of Scotland for a World Record 55th time.

The anniversary will form a year-long celebration of commemorative events, fan engagement, exciting activations, and the unveiling of Edmiston House - the club’s new, state-of-the-art, multi-purpose venue which includes event space, a Rangers museum and new Castore retail store.

Throughout the season, our kit and retail partner Castore will release commemorative kits that pay tribute to the rich heritage and success this club has been built on. These kit launches will be further complemented by special edition training wear, leisure wear and retro items for all ages.

MyGers members will be the first to experience the 150th anniversary identity with the new season 2021/22 welcome packs specifically designed to celebrate this moment with exclusive collectors’ items. MyGers members can also look forward to exclusive events and experiences plus unique opportunities to influence some of the anniversary planning and legacy projects.

Rangers Chairman, Douglas Park, commented: “Rangers are today delighted to unveil our 150th anniversary crest – the first major milestone as we count down to the celebrations of being the first major European club to reach such a landmark.

“Supporters are at the heart of everything we do at Rangers, and that will be no different as we mark our 150th year.

“The backing we have had from our Season Ticket holders, hospitality clients, and MyGers members since its launch last year has been phenomenal. It is just wonderful to see that loyalty rewarded this season with success on the park.”

James Bisgrove, Rangers’ Commercial & Marketing Director added: “Today marks the beginning of the build-up to our historic 150th-anniversary celebrations with a wide range of supporter-facing activities planned in the coming 12 months, culminating in the grand opening of new Edmiston House.

“Everyone at Rangers understands the significance of this landmark moment, as we become the first major European club to reach this special milestone.

“We are looking forward to unveiling a host of initiatives that will inspire Rangers supporters both in Scotland and across the globe to join the 150th-anniversary celebrations.’’

 

Congratulations to the Ulster Pirlo for winning his 126th cap for Northern Ireland this evening. Steven Davis is now the most capped British footballer.

Another good win for the 'Gers yesterday. Maybe not their greatest performance this season and Hibs did score - only the third goal that Rangers have conceded in the league at Ibrox this season but one step to hopefully being unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership for 20/21.

Two great goals by Aribo and Kent.
