🚨🏴 Rangers have agreed deal to sign Lawrence Shankland from Hearts, here we go!
Paperwork now signed and Shankland set to be announced as new Rangers player. 💙🤍
Joint statement from the Rangers Fan Advisory Board and the Rangers Supporters Association
The Rangers Fan Advisory Board and the Rangers Supporters’ Association are deeply concerned with the handling of Sunday’s Old Firm game by Police Scotland, which we consider to have been wholly inadequate and which created unnecessary risks for our fans that should have been avoided.
We are appalled that visiting supporters were allowed to storm the turnstiles before the match – not for the first time. Then, later, to invade the pitch in reaction to events on it, with little or no attempt made to stop it - also not for the first time.
Our fans were also placed in danger before and after the match by a chronic lack of segregation on Helen Street. This failure in basic matchday planning contributed to heightened tensions around the stadium as opposition supporters were allowed to walk and gather freely in the area where Rangers fans had been asked to park.
Police Scotland’s Greater Glasgow Chief Superintendent Emma Croft is marking her own homework when she describes her satisfaction with their matchday operation.
More disturbing was the abhorrent mockery yet again of the Ibrox disaster, with the memory of our 66 desecrated by vile graffiti, the perpetrators emboldened to vandalise our stadium and its infrastructure with impunity. The failure of Police Scotland to act on Sunday and the failure of Scotland’s civic society to call out this repeated and shameful behaviour, from across our game, is a disgrace. It would not happen in Liverpool or Manchester.
Collectively, we call on Rangers to take robust, decisive, and public action in defence of our club. The handling of this fixture, from ticketing and allocation decisions to policing arrangements, fell far below an acceptable standard and breached an expected duty of care.
Our support cannot be expected to tolerate repeated failures that compromise safety and dignity. We will never apologise for protecting the wellbeing of Rangers fans and will continue to work with the club, ensuring there can be no repeat of the events we witnessed in the build-up and aftermath of Sunday’s fixture.

Don’t worry, the Vape Shop that doesn’t money launder and doesn’t just employ foreign men will have complied with all building regs, they would definitely have their electrical and gas certificates in place, no need to blame them for destroying more of our nations history in Glasgow Central Station.
These are the exact situations in which Gassama should be introduced. Teams chasing an equaliser and more space for him to exploit on the break.
Brilliant result for the teddy bears ❤️
🚨🔵 Steven Gerrard’s return to Rangers, closer than ever with talks advancing and set to continue this week.
Positive initial discussions in the last 24h and Rangers hierarchy’s set to meet with Gerrard to discuss further details.
🚨 Funniest. President. EVER.
SEC. BOBBY KENNEDY: *Sneezes*
TRUMP: "God bless you, Bobby. I hope I didn't just catch COVID just there...GIVE ME A PAXLOVID, IMMEDIATELY!"
Oval Office crowd: *Cracking up* 😂
Martindale absolutely bang on
There’s far too many times where the same incident gets a different decision and the officials/pundits just explain it away with nonsense
The folk making the decisions are unreliable so VAR needs binned
MSNBC’s shameful
output since Charlie Kirk was shot, first suggesting it was one of his own supporters firing a gun in ‘celebration’, then inferring he brought it on himself with his opinions, confirms everything I’ve always suspected about the woke left - they’re repulsive.
A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.
Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."
Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.
Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.
When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.
Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.
Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.
Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.
He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.
Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.
I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.
God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.
You ran a good race, my friend.
We've got it from here.
