I was heartened to read that Mr Let’s Go had today uttered a word that means that summer is on the way.
Like the arrival of nesting birds in the eaves of our hillside home here in Donegal, the word means that long evenings and warmer days have arrived.
For the avoidance of doubt, the word is “marquee”.
Since the glorious summer of 2012, the Ibrox klanbase have only had carefully crafted delusions to keep them warm.
Of course, the main one is that Rangers FC (Est. 1872) was not liquidated after the CVA was rejected in June of that year.
After an outbreak of accuracy on the matter the Fitba Fifth Estate soon got the high-Level message.
Something unfortunate had happened to a thing called “Holding Company Vehicle”, but the club was perfectly ok.
The fact that the new club was forced to start in the 4th tier was explained by the liberal use of the word “demoted”.
Since the creation of Sevco the happiest time for the Ibrox klanbase has been the summer.
That is the time of year when they do not play any football matches.
It is that part of the calendar when the Stenography Corps can do their best work.
A key component of this summer tour de farce is the confected stories about the players who are “linked” with the basket of assets.
Now Mr Let’s Go is getting into the swing of things for the summer.
I do find it rather interesting that this statement comes in the same week that he was told in a meeting that he effectively didn’t have a budget in the next transfer window.

Phil, you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be at least some kind of Marquee announcement to punt the season tickets. It might not come to pass mind you.
Marquee signings, wow. That will be music to the ears of Kingco with their cheque books safely locked away and any summer investment in the playing squad to be generated by the sale of El Buffoon and Tavernier.
It will be interesting to see what valuations any potential suitor will bid for them.
The permanently petted lip Columbian has goals in him but his penchant for throwing himself to the ground when a defender draws him a dirty look has no equal.
With regards to the penalty king and main assist on goals, that’s all well and good but he can’t defend to save himself.
Hibs successfully targetted him in the Scottish Cup Final and he made Stokes look like Messi.
Any club in the know will realise that a summer sale will be of the distressed variety which will also impact on the fee.
The Fat Controller is going to have his work cut out bigging up the worth of their only two saleable assets whilst dazzling the fans with potential marquee signings to keep ST monies rolling in.
All the while Big Mike is circling the wagons ready to give King another bloody nose.
King, remember him? The guy who in the notes to the annual accounts told the world that the £3m paid to Sports Direct and the purchase of Ashley’s shares at an inflated price would be the end of his involvement with the Ibrox club.
Subsequent events have shown this statement to be of the untrue variety and consequently anything the De Facto Chairman says should be taken with a very large pinch of salt.
Are you listening Stevie G?
The Rangers manager must be very confused and upset indeed with those Dons fans calling him out as an ‘ Orange Bastard’ when it’s a well known fact that he’s a Fenian b!
No excuse for getting your bastarts mixed up.
Phil – either you, or your sources – or both, have misunderstood the message, or you are having the wool pulled over your eyes. According to my – ahem – “sources”, it is not a marquee signing that is expected. Rather, they have been in contact with a few companies that hire out tents for events such as agm’s, etc. I believe Billy Smart’s Big Top was deemed to be rather on the large side, so they are looking for a smaller marquee. Bivouacs are being given due consideration. 😂
A marquee signing would be sensible planning on RIFC’s part.
I mean, when they have their next AGM to announce even bigger losses and even less money,
a gazebo on the pitch might simply get blown away in the December weather.
I wonder if this marquee will keep the rain from falling on their fragile heads
