was in the away end last night in Nice. Fans were kettled on arriving at the stadium, with some crushed and at least one assaulted. What followed was 'policing at its ugliest'. Here is his testimony.

Rangers have been awful once again. Zero threat. Dundee United the better side. Propper isn’t physical enough for Scottish football. That deal hasn’t and will never work. Should be moved on in January.

The creation of this Sporting Director role is a good move. Many issues have arisen for the manager and club as a consequence of removing it. Rangers need stability. Now they have someone with the power to take some things off Clement's plate.

A lot of people talking about trolls, conspiracy theories and Musk as reasons to migrate here. All fine, but for me it’s about the utility of the app. It’s not loaded with adds, engagement vampires and unwanted blue tick wankers. It’s just a MUCH better experience to use

Personally think Connor Goldson has a point when he talks about his form last season. Like Tavernier, he was chronically overplayed for years. It finally caught up with him, but he’s still better than those signed a replacement.
