Dear Sons of Struth

As requested, please find below, The Truth.

No one likes you. But you don't care, so that's okay.

This is, in part, due to 8 decades of institutional sectarianism and bigotry at the club you supported, instigated by the man whose stern features adorn the wagon you are driving around town, the purpose of which remains unclear. Are you trying to jog the memory of the Man in the Street, hoping he will deliver new insights into what has happened at Ibrox in the past couple of years?

Well, here's a short version. Don't thank me, it's been a pleasure watching it.

Rangers were run into the ground over a period of decades, not the last two years. David Murray came in and bought your club, which had won three championships in 20 years. It was a club that, on the face of it, appeared to be on the way up after those two decades of ritual humiliation. For the next ten years, David Murray fed the delusion of 'we are the people' with grandiose boasts and unsustainable spending. When one of your directors tried to enlighted the fans, he was lambasted. Only last year, he was dismissed as a doddery old man when he spoke of the culture of 'cheating' that everyone behind the scenes Ibrox knew of and embraced. When he died, his memory was besmirched.

All for trying to tell you the truth. As it turned out, he was right. The club was hammered into the ground and sold for a pound. You threatened Lloyds bank and demanded they clear the way to install Craig Whyte, because he was touted as your saviour. He was carried down Edmiston Drive on the shoulders the grateful fans. Attempts to enlighted you were met with anger and derision. The tv was picketed for running a story, with the demand for 'parity of esteem', another bizarre soundbite where implied dignity obscures meaning and relevance.

Craig Whyte burned you, as predicted. 'But nobody told us, why didn't anyone tell us?' you wailed. Well, you were too busy standing behind banners on the picket line to see the obvious.

No one, not the fans or the 'billionaire' businessmen who are suddenly full of moral fibre, wanted to step up and 'save' the club and pay the money owed to the taxpayer. Remember that. It's important, if you want to know The Truth.

A deliberate decision was made to kill the club and stiff the general public of money that could have been used for services (maybe equipment for those soldiers cavorting around the pitch on Armed Services day?).

Charles Green clearly stated that the club would die and all of its history be wiped out if a CVA wasn't agreed. Still, no one stepped up. The club died and the fans allowed it to die. Maybe if you had driven around with a van at the time demanding the truth, things would have been different. Probably not, right enough. It's only a van. Not a vehicle for real change.

Charles Green was rightly suspected, but a few choice digs at Celtic and Neil Lennon and you all loved him. That shows you up for the utter lack of intelligence of your entire support. That no one could see past him anymore, simply because he had found out that bigotry was the glue that held your club together.

The truth is that Rangers exists no more than a succulent lamb breathes on a plate.

You have sat and watched your new Company be torn to pieces and you have done it with a smile on your face, backing one asset stripper one minute, then backing another a minute later. You do not have the wherewithal to make up your own mind, instead buying the stories of scheister after scheister as long as someone with 'Rangers best interests at heart' testifies on their behalf.

Whether that's Ally McCoist or Walter Smith depends on whether they are walking away, threatening to walk away, or meeting themselves coming back.

You are persons, led by persons. The smart people associated with the defunct club and the soon to be defunt replacement company are those who left with their pockets full, to the wailing of 'why us?' ringing in their ears. Well, why not you? You are a soft target. You have been fooled, duped, laughed at, and duped again. Not just by the spivs, but by football in general and society at large.

It has been no surprise to hear of your zombie incarnation beaten by the likes of Annan, the only surprise was it took 3 or 4 days to learn of such 'shock results'. Because no matter how you try to keep your ugly mugs in the paper, the fact is your Sevco is truly an irrelevance.

William Burroughs said this in an interview:

"The nasty sort of power: white junk, I call it-rightness; they're right, right, right-and if they lost that power, they would suffer excruciating withdrawal symptoms. The picture we get of the whole [Rangers FC and fans], people who are exclusively preoccupied with power and advantage, this must be an addiction. Suppose they lose it? Well, it's been their whole life."

Study that and you get close to The Truth. The day your club was liquidated, it lost it's status in society as a self-proclaimed 'institution' second only to the Church of Scotland in importance (another multilayered soundbite that was gobbled up by the easily outfoxed Ibrox fodder). Get used to it. It's not coming back.

Any further versions of the 'the company' are just like the whiff of mint sauce in the air as the plate gets cleaned.

You're finished. And that's The Truth.

"You are an irrelevance"

But I'll spend hours coming up with a load of garbage about you anyway and post it on a CELTIC page. I have been reading this site for a long time, and have seen some obsessive posts about Rangers by Celtic fans. But this tops the lot. Embarrassing.

LOL

@9 Embarrassing WHY?. If the scottish media told the truth like the op we would not be listening to all the crap from your side of the fence, same club, what a load of garbage, you know your team is a tribute band, nothing more nothing less.
Tambhoy

@10 the low life at @9 is kidding himself that all is right at his pretend club! Fact is "people" like that are happy to condone the theft of millions of pounds and then laugh in their faces when talking garbage about being debt free! They are mate, nothing more and nothing less!

Morning Ed007, if lustig makes the hibs game who then do you drop . I was hoping our younger players would get more games before and after cl games, pity we did'nt give them a chance against morton, monkeybhoy is on the right track these young players will save the club a fortune, they may make the games a lot tougher task but as you know the board as of now seem too have a set amount and buy 4 or 5 players when a lot of us would rather have quality ready to go guys, anyway just some of my thoughts no need to rip me a new one lol cheers {Ed007's Note - I really can't see Lustig making it tomorrow, if he is anywhere near fit I can see him being wrapped in cotton wool until Tuesday night's match. If he does play then from the team I posted further down the page it would be Kayal dropped and Mulgrew moved into MF with VDV and Ambrose in the middle of the defence.}

Ed do you know what lustigs injury is and how bad? Hip? Cause I read an article today where it says he will not have surgery in order to help the clubs problems for Ajax match. Does he need surgery or are they mixing him up with Mathews maybe? {Ed007's Note - Lustig's has an ongoing hip problem that seems to be very similar to Scott Brown's was before his op. There was talk of Lustig going in for surgery during the summer and missing the start of the season but that never happened.}

Just think its time to blood some youngsters in our team, it's the perfect time with the zombies gone. If blooded in league and cup games it would give them some needed game time if injuries happen and they are needed in Europe rather than maybe having to fling them in at deep end.

Cheers Ed, didn't know he had the problem before he was injured on swee game. If it is as bad as browns, he has been doing well with it because haven't seem any problem or slowness in his game.
