    I've just  come across this thread. My Dad and Uncle played for a Dreghorn juniors in the 1950s. My dad recently passed away and I'm trying to track down any information on Dreghorn juniors from his time. Do you have anything which would help ??

    Cheers

    I am researching this former club's history.
    If anyone has any connections with the club or can remember its playing days could they please post here.
    I do of course know about the Scottish historical archive.
    Any pics would be most welcome.
    My dad and uncle - Hugh and Bobby McGhee- played for Dreghorn juniors. My dad recently passed away and I'd be interested in finding out anything you have about Dreghorn from their time

    A couple things. Firstly, regarding the people commenting on the lack of debate, they're dead right. Yes, some of the analysis has been excellent, and the thread has been compulsive reading, but any Rangers fans are shouted down, and when people try to give some balance to the hysteria, they are drowned out. There are also far, far too many cringeworthy posts (some of the song lyrics have been dreadful), and there is too much posting for the sake of posting. Also, if you have a news story, read back at least the previous 3 pages just to check eh? I do think people need to maybe calm down a little. The thread might be a bit less active, but it'll be a better thread for it. Oh, and see all this "well other clubs didn't point fingers and reacted with humility" pish? Well I remember Gretna in admin, and both Dundee admins, and Motherwells admin. Many of the fans were definitely not humble or realistic, with Dundee being particularly bad for it. Frankly, Rangers and Dundee probably have the same percentage of absolute fucknuts in their fanbase, its just that Rangers are a much bigger club. Now hold that thought, I'll come back to it..

    Oh, and enough of the Rangersmedia obsession eh? Its a bit cringeworthy.

    Now, what I'm about to say might sound a bit crazy, but bear with me here. I think Brown is on to something. There, I said it. Firstly, people on here have been asking why the fans haven't been active and haven't tried to get something properly started...well here is one Bomber Brown, the first person to actually apologise to Scottish football on behalf of Rangers. And I believe he is using exactly the right kind of language to get Rangers fans going. I was thinking about this this evening, and I believe that part of the reason that there hasn't been an organised single group is because Rangers have literally been an institution. I know we're all mocking this idea, but look at the way the media have reacted. They ARE more than just a club. They've been used to having things handed to them on a plate for so long that they have never needed to organise and muster. The media have always been on their side, their chairman was an expert in placating them, the authorities frequently turn a blind eye. We've (as in non OF fans) have long commented on this, so we would be lying if we said that this wasn't the case. They do have a long history of funny handshakes and the like. So they have never had a "proper" fans trust, and I doubt they'll really be organised even if they started right now.

    No, Rangers need to play to their strengths, playing nice hasn't worked. And that just leaves the less pleasant side of Rangers...now Rangers do have a lot of rather unique associations. I'm thinking Orange lodges, organised crime, and Northern Irish paramilitaries. Frankly, I think they need to take advantage of those associations. If Green continues to play silly buggers and lie to the media and fans as much as he has been doing, then the less "nice" aspect of the Rangers fanbase are going to have to show their hand a bit. A spot of intimidation might work. I'm not saying I agree with it, but its probably something Rangers can do better than any other fanbase...

    Behave yourself for f**k sake

    Are the administrators serious when they say they don't want to lose first team players because it will put off potential buyers? :blink: I think the fact that the club are racked with debt and have a potential £50 million tax liability might be slightly more off putting, I doubt losing a few players worth a few hundred thousand pounds is really going to matter. I can just imagine the thought process - 'aye, Rangers were quite an attractive business proposition, but now they've released Steven Davis and Kirk Broadfoot it's just not worth it, I'm out'.

    Spot on

    If a NewCo Rangers are allowed to stay in Spl then I'll chuck fitba.

    Totally pointless league.

    Wouldn't happen to Killie or Hearts, so why should Rangers get special treatment?

    Agree. Said same on You'll Never Take The Killie. If Rangers stiff the taxman and Scottish Clubs, had illegal contracts and stay in the SPL then I'm out - I've been going to Rugby Park for 34 years but I couldn't stomach that.
