We played the long game and won.
Showed we will not be bullied and this is a massive victory for us and quite the red face for a behemoth of a corporation.
That statement was not put out lightly and will have been sanctioned from the very top.
No doubt our European exploits had a lot to do with it as well.

A big climb down from them.
An admission from them of bias against us.
We have shown that we don't need these 'traditional' media outlets.

Have BBC Scotland had a slap into line from head office in London?

Has that been on the cards Mark? Seems completely out the blue and that is about as grovelling an apology as we could ever hope for. On a side note, do you know if the 'journalist' has had his press credentials reinstated at the same time?
Nvm the last part as you've answered it above. That is a complete climbdown on their behalf then and we haven't changed our stance. Excellent.

Yes. Although they were never banned remember. Press privileges were removed.

Translates as;
"Rangers are by far the biggest draw in scottish football now and are being reported on Europe wide, I know we don't want to but we better suck it up and half heartedly apologise. Wee Chris has even had his hair blow away hes been stood out on that roundabout so many times."

They had 10+ reporters and staff in Leipzig for the match there. Full-on jolly.

Hopefully he’s sharing it with Michael Stewart, Graham Spiers and Chris Mcglauchlin!

The nearest he will get is the roundabout.

Will be interesting to see if McLaughlin is one of the reporters they send.
I'm guessing the concession from our side will be the BBC can send whoever they wish and thus we allow them access.
Another victory.....

Just shows you then, the degree of childish petulance that they were going to by not reporting from Ibrox.
Watch for the next bit of trivial bad/negative “news” involving us being exaggerated out of all proportion by the Pacific Quay CSC

Statement to me reads that "the BBC" is fully committed to the Scottish Premiership.
Aka the wider BBC has told it's Scotland department to sort its shit out.

People will be along to say who cares, the BBC are irrelevant etc. but they are absolutely not irrelevant. Rangers fans have gone years without proper radio coverage of their games whilst Celtic fans got additional coverage if anything. Great outcome, and elderly Rangers fans were the most affected by the BBC's actions and are the biggest winners here.

Oh my. This will be a good day on social media
Someone must have had there arse handed to them for this level of apology. Could quite easily just have stared covering games again without admitting anything. Still, won't affect me, wouldn't give them the shit from the bottom of my shoe.

I can see heart and hand losing subscribers in their droves as we all swarm to get our news from bbc Scotland.
