Article in todays Press and Journal regarding transfer activity. It suggests we are looking to add a couple of players. Quote from Butcher: Really hope this will be supplemented by a couple of loan signings to cover defence The article identifies that we have signed 5 in Reguero, Raven, Warren, Oswell and Draper (waiting on paperwork from the football authorities). 3 players are joining the first team from the U19s in Liam Polworth, Martin Laing and Connor Pepper. As it stands we have: Goalkeepers 1. Ryan Esson 2. Antonio Reguero 3. Ed Baldy/Scott Mathieson Defence 4. Josh Meekings 5. Gary Warren 6. Chris Hogg 7. Graeme Shinnie 8. David Raven Midfield 9. Nick Ross 10. Andrew Shinnie 11. Martin Laing 12. Aaron Doran 13. Owain-Tudur Jones 14. Gavin Morrison 15. Ritchie Foran 16. Ross Draper 17. Liam Polworth Strikers 18. Shane Sutherland 19. Billy McKay 20. Jason Oswell 21. Connor Pepper Hopefully we can replace Hayes and Tade but we really need defensive reinforcements, absolutely no way can we go into the season with 4 fully fit defenders and Chris Hogg recovering from a very serious injury. Butcher says he will be running with a smaller squad this season, understandable given the financial state of Scottish football at present

The social unrest comment was unbelievable. Each new statement I see from Doncaster and Regan brings with it a real sense of bewilderment I competely agree about the latter part you wrote, this whole situation has shown Regan and Doncaster up to be completely corrupt and devoid of morals. How can we seriously plan for a fairer more competitive playing field for Scottish football when they have so clearly displayed that morals, rules, competition and indeed laws should all come second to ensuring that the Old Firm remain in the SPL in order to keep money coming in from TV contracts.

Anyone know how our season ticket sales compare to this time last year?

Todays Highland News suggesting that a deal for Draper should be completed before the weekend

No need to guess who that was. The corrupt actions of the bigwigs at the SPL have been nothing short of scandalous

this is a direct quote of Doncasters' yesterday He somehow thinks that the third option should be ruled out because it would massivley damage Scottish football as a whole. Does he not realise that it is his fault that every scottish club will now suffer not because of Rangers being liquidated, but because of the duopoly of money/power that he has created and maintained for the Old Firm. If this guy remains involved with Scottish Football any longer then there really is no hope for anyone

Alex Thomson has tweeted a very valid point and one which has been totally ignored. He has quite rightly identified that it is the Scottish Football Authorites that have created this entire fiasco, if they followed the rules that they set, then the newco would have been sent to SFL 3 to start again. Whilst Rangers have been the catalyst that has identified the SPL/SFAs shortcomings this isnt Rangers fault. In no way am i defending Rangers, they should be put to SFL3, end of story. This is a problem entirely of Doncaster and Regans making

My guess it will be on sale at best a couple of weeks before the seasons opening game. No doubt the last of the SPL clubs to start selling new strips once again

confirmed, just saw this: http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/109273-ian-black-agrees-to-rangers-move-depending-on-their-league-status/

hearing whispers that he has agreed a deal in principle to join 'The Rangers' dependant on them staying in the SPL what a clown

off

There is nothing official yet but the Press and Journal yesterday was reporting that Draper had been North and had trained with the squad. The article also said that they had agreed a deal so hopefully we dont get gazumped. What ive read about this player sounds pretty good, think he would be a decent addition to the squad
