This absolutely nails it . In our hour of need they all had a good kick as Super saidThe Scottish game voted to withhold prize money from us when we needed it most. Go away with this shite
Rangers are nothing like Bayern munich mate.Is he forgetting that Mark Hateley handed out 2 tubs of soap last week? Even nuns got them. What about that for helping others?
I agree that we generally fall short in this area.
The same clubs who are happy to have empty stands when they play us?
There are more reasons not to give them money.Is this the same clubs who would rather die than help Rangers?
The clubs that failed to sell out Saturdays?
The same clubs who are happy to have empty stands when they play us?
Fuxx each and every one of them.
This, it should never be forgotten even in these troubled timesThe Scottish game voted to withhold prize money from us when we needed it most. Go away with this shite
Personally I would love us to boycott them in to oblivion. Every penny to Rangers.There are more reasons not to give them money.
Add 2008 to that also.The way we were treated in 2012 was shocking and now they want help. They tried to finish us off and failed so now let's see how the rest battle through this. We took care of ourselves through the hard times with the help of our fans.
This exactly.....contrast Bayern's actions V's the whole of Scottish football 2012........ poles apart ....
F*ck them
Yes they would .That is how hypocritical Scottish football is..Do you think clubs like Aberdeen and hibs would accept our money
Is even worse than that when you look at Revenue. Bayern Munich had revenues of 750.4million euros so if they are paying 5 milliong then that's around 0.67% of their revenue. If Rangers done the same then we'd be paying £349k and getting slagged off for only offering a pitiful amount.Imagine comparing our situation to the wealth of the top 4 Bundesligs clubs. What a fucking idiot.
Bayern giving €5M to support other clubs is 10% of their year’s profit. On the basis our last accounts showed £11M loss, I’d love to know how this twat proposes that we prop up the rest of Scottish football.

This. The cash injection Rangers fans gave the likes of Montrose was enormous. new stands, new community projects, coaching budgets increased. Financial security for the last 8 years.Our demotion to the bottom tier of Scottish football was a massive positive/help for the smaller clubs. It literally kept them afloat for the foreseeable future back in 2012.
Where was our help at our time of need. No where, every bastard wanted us dead
This phrase will stick in my head forever ' I'd rather we went bust than vote for Rangers'
From the Scotsman
When this is all over, the hope is we’ll look back and realise that despite the borders, the different countries, races and religions, we are all in this together.
The world’s population will remain at risk from the sort of invisible enemy that is currently having such a profound impact. It could yet prompt a philosophical response. Some are even forecasting another Summer of Love when we are all allowed out in the open again.
Is it too much to expect Scottish football might develop something approaching a sense of community? Many are proving unarguably heroic in their own communities. The Scotsman has been carrying a diary from Stenhousemuir chairman Iain McMenemy in which he has been outlining his club’s efforts in helping the vulnerable in the local area.
Others, many themselves operating on the breadline, are pulling out the stops, such as Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Individuals, too, are taking a lead, Inverness manager John Robertson among them. He slipped on some protective gloves to deliver food parcels to pensioners in isolation due to the coronavirus outbreak.
But what are clubs doing for each other? I recall receiving some flak for suggesting Celtic should help bail out Rangers back in 2012. It was, perhaps, foolishly idealistic. One or two Celtic fans got in contact pointing that out. However, it was not some hippy notion plucked out of the air. The column was written on the back of a story in Germany where it was revealed, almost ten years after the event, that Bayern Munich had provided a €2 million loan to help fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund stave off the threat of bankruptcy in 2003.
It was a critical situation for Borussia Dortmund,” Uli Hoeness, Bayern’s president, explained. “I’m a big fan of tradition in sport. I think it was the right thing to do.”
The right thing to do. Just think about that for a moment. Bayern have also helped out financially troubled 1860 Munich and St Pauli in the past.
This week, it was reported that four clubs in the Bundesliga, including Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, have pledged a solidarity payment of €20m to support other clubs struggling to stay afloat in the country because of the shutdown.
“In these difficult times, it’s important that the stronger shoulders support the weaker shoulders,” said Bayern chief executive and former star player Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
It is hoped those in charge of clubs such as Rangers and Celtic might have the good grace to feel slightly embarrassed upon reading these words having presumably already banked the cheques received from the SPFL earlier this week. There has been little from either of them or any top-flight club in Scotland regarding the greater good. Of course, they have needs too. And compared to Germany for example, there is simply not the same level of funding to hand in Scottish football.
But we must also accept there is something far wrong in our game when earlier this week our top three clubs, including third-placed Motherwell, received an early handout totalling almost £400,000 each from the SPFL. League 2 clubs’ share of the pot, meanwhile, was only £1,350. Barely enough to pay for floodlight bulbs they may be about to turn off for good.
We have nothing to feel embarrassed about after our journey back to the top it must be lost on him how much of the Blue pound was spread through the little Clubs during it,I didn't see that mob give away any of their unimpossed CL entry money or any big commercial contracts that brought because of it,we have already paid our debt to Scottish football we owe it nothing.
Maybe if you had treated our club with more respect during our darkest hours instead of constant sanctions our club would be taking the initiative to help other member clubs. Our fans helped a lot of clubs in the lower divisions while one abomination of a club swept up all the money. "Hunners 'a millions" so we are told. Maybe ask them for help since our taxpayers are constantly funding their projects through dodgy land deals and commonwealth games money. Its time that club gave back to our national game.
WE OWE SCOTTISH FOOTBALL NOTHING.
Agree !That’s beyond a joke. I’m sure someone else has probably already mentioned it but ‘we’d rather go bust that vote for Rangers’ springs to mind. Phuck the lot of them.

It’s almost as if 2012 didn’t happen.
Stands empty at Kilmarnock same for the Sheep games as well now and their losing money really.It’s our fault right enough that these clubs wouldn’t sell us tickets
