You're gonna hear a lot of "people will pay it". As if that justifies high pricing for anything. And I'll be stupid enough to pay mine, most likely. But I'm lucky enough to be in a place where I can do that and not really suffer. Sorry Rangers, but that's a poor decision.

Both Tavernier and Gerrard full of praise for Itten today.

I'm probably not as bothered as many about Rangers signing someone to strengthen the squad - it would be nice, of course - but I utterly reject the argument that no signings equals not winning the league, or that a quality signing seals it. There's no guarantees either way.

@GrahamSpiers Can I ask why you'd focus on Rangers here when pretty much every UK club has had similar responses to such posts? Why fascinating when it's Rangers but unremarkable anywhere else?

@RaeComm Times have changed though. The people benefitting from that now are the media alone. If anything, the clubs are held back by poor reporting, clickbait nonsense and a complete inability to talk about football in far too many cases. Why keep giving them this privilege they abuse?

Crazy match which only further confirmed a lot of what we know. But I'm really, really fucking happy for Jordan Rossiter. He's desperate to do well for Rangers, and deserved that moment. Roll on next season!
