    Not against it in principle as long as they aren't using it as a stepping stone to play a competitive game abroad, like some are trying to do down south.

    Nah, Celtic-Rangers games shouldn't be played as exhibition matches / friendlies.

    Did Rangers turn it down or did the authorities not stop it!

    To be fair, couldn't care whether it happens or not ... just another pre-season friendly!

    The fact we play each other so often has already diluted what was a massive occasion IMO. Playing it more often will only further dilute it

    Personally I'm not against it either but to play it in Boston is asking for trouble i think, too many backward Irish there i think it could be more trouble than its worth.

    Wow.

    You try to post on a forum and it gets changed to Aussie-phobe sex chat.

    For the record, Rolf's didgeridoo is nothing to write home about and his pubic arrangement is in the same style as his beard in the 70s.

    He wasn't even there, they attacked the home of a pregnant lassie home alone. Now admit its cowardly, condem it and stop looking to excuse it.

    So again you assume that everyone knew she was pregnant, could've been a bunch of wee boys getting up to mischief.

    Then again it could've been the UVF.

    I have it on good authority from a bosom bud of mine in the Scottish media that it was Melbourne Victory fans.

    I'd like to distance myself from this - it was clearly people not normally connected with the Victory.

    will rangers be around next year for this friendly?
    or are they using it to make money while they start all over again in the 3rd division?

    It does come across as little more than a money making ploy. They need this fixture more than us.

    thats why they had the liverpool friendly and the hamburg? friendly - thats why they started the indian twitter thing and had all the american pash for thanksgiving day - they are desperate for money at the minute

    an honest point - if rangers do start again in the 3rd division, they will be crying out to play us in friendlies every year until they get back in the SPL

    Can't see that happening. Too much self interest for a start. Think of all the cash clubs in the SPL would lose from ticket sales and TV money if Rangers didn't come calling twice a season?
