MICHAEL MOLS says fans of Hollandâs biggest clubs would never have stood by their clubs the way Rangers fans have supported theirs if theyâd had the same financial troubles. The former Light Blues star is one of many former Ibrox favourites who will return to Glasgow for the clubâs 140th anniversary celebrations this weekend. And the Dutchman canât wait to sample the atmosphere at his old stomping ground the match with Stirling Albion, which is on course to sell out as things stand. Mols, of course, was back in Govan earlier this year to play in the friendly between a Gers legends team and AC Milan Glorie which the hosts won 1-0 thanks to Ally McCoistâs goal. He wishes he could play again when the Binos coming calling but will instead have to settle for a seat in the stand the night after attending the clubâs anniversary dinner. Mols canât wait to come back to Scotland to see how things are progressing after the trials and tribulations brought by administration earlier this year. And he has paid tribute to the fans who used to idolise him for the way theyâve continued following their team in a way he doesnât think people in his homeland would have done. Mols said: âItâs great the club is getting strong again but it is not really a surprise for me to see the support still getting behind Rangers. âThe team is now in the Third Division but what is happening at Ibrox is amazing and unbelievable because every league crowd is still over 45,000 people. âThat sums up what Rangers is all about and under normal circumstances, if a club dropped so many divisions the supporters might not follow it. âMaybe some people expected there would be less than 10,000 people watching Rangers this season but thatâs not the case. âFootball fans in Holland think what is going on at Ibrox just now is amazing because the Third Division is the equivalent to playing in the amateur leagues here. âIf Ajax, Feyenoord or PSV were to be relegated to that level, they would never have taken 45,000 supporters with them. No chance. âRangers and their fans are getting a lot of respect from the Dutch because of what they are doing just now. âEven when we played AC Milan Glorie at the start of the year and there were 45,000 fans there to see some old men having fun in the park, people back home couldnât believe it.â Mols is excited by the rise of Rangers again and he has no doubt they will keep going from strength to strength. He added: âThey say that what doesnât kill you makes you stronger and the bond between everyone at the club is even better than it was before. âEverybody is behind Rangers and they want to make a statement to everyone else that they are still alive and getting better. It is unbelievable to see. âI canât wait to be back in Glasgow this weekend. I donât see highlights of games in Holland but Ibrox feels like my second home and it will be good to go there again. âThe nicest thing about Saturdayâs game is we will be looking back at 140 years of Rangers and I am part of the clubâs history, something I am very proud of. âIt is a great, great club and I feel that in my heart. To see Rangers surviving and still alive after all it has been through is a wonderful thing.â [video=youtube;raidskJdkXQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raidskJdkXQ[/video]
No other country in the world would allow their biggest club to ply their trade in the bottom tier of their league set up. The bitterness and bile spouted by the TimothyMinded on here and elsewhere is a gauge at how much they hate Rangers, their loyal band of fans, and their Presbyterian beliefs. Shame on them.
MICHAEL MOLS says fans of Holland’s biggest clubs would never have stood by their clubs the way Rangers fans have supported theirs if they’d had the same financial troubles. In his opinion.
You let your club die and want to blame everyone else. If only Hearts had got into trouble first, their fans could have shown you how to come together, raise funds and save your club, with dignity. Oh well, at least you have your tribute act
Remember when he was pictured with his wife when he first signed and I thought she wasn't up to much, but somebody put the same pic on here last year and I she didn't think she was as bad as I first thought she was, in fact, I'm pretty sure I remember thinking, "Ah wid".
In fairness to her, she was pregnant at the time of that picture. Still: Her chest is so hairy, Her face is so scary, Mrs Mols used to be a man, There's only one Michael Mols He's got a face fulla holes etc
I'm betting she looked pretty good most of the time - some women get honking when they're carting a load. Still a ****ing good song, though
I think I would rate a dutch professional footballers opinion about dutch football clubs higher than that of a timothy lurking on the Rangers board
I would too in all honesty but it's simple bullshit which people like you are happy to shovel down like Ambrosia. He can have no way of knowing for certain can he?
