HMRC's Home for Peculiar Practice
There has always been something about the Rangers tax saga that didn’t quite sit right. Perhaps it’s down to the surrealism of watching something you care about being in peril or being ripped apart. The out-of-body helplessness of knowing that you cannot stop this slow-motion car crash. Knowing that there are things beyond understanding and influence that have been set in motion and no amount of wishful thinking or shouting into the void can change.

Gersnet Review of Rangers' Accounts 2019
Overview
A loss of £11.3m has unsurprisingly made the front pages but are we really in such a bad shape? I’d argue that we are not for 3 main reasons:
- The loss is funded by the directors/investors who have converted most of their loans into share capital.
- We have no external debt
- I will argue below that the inherent loss is well under £5m and can be contained by regular European football and the sale of players after development.Gersnet Podcast 065 - Breaking Hearts and focusing minds

Rolling back the years: Porto v Rangers
John Greig began his fifth season as manager of Rangers in August 1983. Levels of optimism were low, Jim Bett had left and returned to Belgian side, Lokeren. However, Ally McCoist had finally joined Rangers at the third time of asking. Sunderland had taken a considerable hit in accepting a £185,000 fee. Ally would go on to finish the season as Rangers top scorer on 21 goals, John Greig's season ended on the 28th October. In two months, he had lead Rangers to wining a Glasgow Cup, a 1-0 against Celtic in front of 60,000 at Hampden, the League Cup semi-finals, and secured a club European record victory over Valletta (18-0) in the first round of the European Cup Winners' Cup.

Jousting with the Jambos: Hearts v Rangers
International breaks are never the most popular time amongst Rangers fans. Since the difficulties of 2012, we've not exactly had huge numbers of players representing their countries and, even now, Ryan Jack seems to be the only Scottish player considered good enough to make what is a poor Scotland squad. Yep, fortnights of fun these are not.

Unfortunately, the challenge won't be any easier with old foes Aberdeen the visitors who, as always, will be keen to inflict the most possible damage on us tomorrow.
Player Ratings: Livingston v Rangers
Rangers sneak into the semi-finals of the Betfred Cup with an unconvincing performance. Who was your Man of the Match?
A Starting XI Juggling Act : Livingston v Rangers
I think it's fair to say that if we rewind a few weeks back to September 1st, most of us were in a disappointed mood after being beaten at home by Celtic in the league. As such, it was vital that, after the international break, the team got back to winning ways: not just in terms of fan morale but for the players and any thoughts of trophy success we might have.

After another wonderful evening under the lights it Ibrox we rate the players in their win over Feyenoord.
Measuring success: Rangers v Feyenoord
When Mark Allen left Rangers last Friday it's fair to say there was some interesting comments about how well he'd done in the job. Some 'chief sportswriters' decided to concentrate on the poor player signings made during his two years at the club whilst others felt his legacy was the capture of Steven Gerrard. The more pragmatic amongst us felt the analysis had to be more general and perhaps even empirical.
