Not directly employed by the club, but the amount of tweets etc I’ve seen from people saying that they work part time ‘selling pies to huns/orange bastards ‘etc...
 
George Bowie - This pricks auld man will be spinning in his grave.

Bowie father was one of the biggest bears out there in his day. A massive bluenose who was one of very few who followed Rangers behind the Iron Curtain in the early days of European football.

His auld man even bought the iconic concrete home dugout from Ibrox and re-sited it in his garden when we upgraded to the new plastic bus shelter types.

Yet this prick cannot even bring himself to admit he is a bluenose. Instead he hides behind the Morton pish.

As for the hybrid Tiger Tim / David Guetta character he has created someone needs to toe him square in the balls.

;):))

If I'm not mistaken this was a policy under Martin Bain who once said it was more beneficial to apply to work at Ibrox if you were NOT a Rangers fan.

Says it all that he can't even bring himself to state he is a Rangers fan and instead claims to be a diehard Morton fan.

He is a Morton fan and attends Morton games

David Murray?

I know that one of his companies knocked back a guy for an IT job when they found out he went to away games in Europe.

Would Martin Bain come out with the comment he did (just after he started) if he wasn’t comfortable Murray would approve?
 
Was it not rumoured in Nains time that the chef at the training ground was from the dark side - Quite unbelievable if true.
I'm sure there was a thread about it on the old board?

Again another misconception. He said he will hire the best people for the job and not necessarily bluenoses. Feckin chinese whispers :)

No, he said they would check the ticket database and it would count against someone if they were a Rangers fan. It’s in the Herald.

His old man Ross would indeed be spinning in his grave
 
I'm sure Bain took great delight in showing off a hospitality suite that he had got "de-rangered". It had hee haw RFC crests or blue in it. Was basically like a minimalist modern design you'd find in a hotel or something. To me you go to hospitality BECAUSE of the "Rangers" but hey ho. I might've just made all that up but i don't think so.
 
I used to work at Ibrox as a porter for Rangers Catering in the early/mid 90's. There were 2 other porters, and one was a massive Tim. I couldn't believe it when I was first told as most of the others (managers, waiters, barmen, chefs, etc) were Bluenoses, and a good proportion were Orangemen and/or Masons.

The Tim's reasoning for working at Ibrox rather than the sum was that, because rangers and celtc never played at home on the same day, then he was working on the days that the scum played away, and generally speaking he didn't work on Saturdays when rangers weren't playing so could go to their matches (and I'm pretty sure he had a season ticket for the piggery)

He sneered at people who pay thousands for their seats and like Rangers memorabilia. He was a classless tramp who wanted Ibrox to resemble a Radisson. All the sophistication of Alan Partridge.

He's a Rangers fan who didn't have the balls to admit it on Radio Cattolica, sepite everyone knowing.

He used the Morton pish to further his career. A fraud and a massive let down to his late father.

The prick wasnt shy when he was offered the job in Manchester 2008 as joint stadium announcer. Hes a coward

I'm 67 and have been following since 1964.
I have never been to the piggery and never will go in.
I drove past it once just so that I have seen it. That is more than enough for me.
Would have never even considered working there no matter what the circumstances.
I've done most of the grounds in England & Scotland but would always have been one short .
Childish perhaps - but not a place I have any wish to go to.

What a staunch post. This is the type of attitude we need in the trenches, not a campaign to give them more tickets to come to pollute our iconic stadium.

Yip. His social media was plastered with IRA stuff if I remember correctly.
 
Loads of mentally challengeds worked in our catering etc. The reason they give for working at Ibrox is when we are at home they are away and usually at a different time/day so they get to earn money while still being able to watch their team. I also know bears that have done the same at the piggery.
Anyway Rangers don’t employ the catering staff
 
This was back in 2012.

"A CHEF has been suspended by Rangers after posting photos of himself at IRA shrines on Facebook.

Jamie McGinness was sent home from the club’s training ground when pictures of him beside a mural of Republican Bobby Sands and at an IRA garden of remembrance appeared on his profile page.


Grinning McGinness is pictured giving the thumbs-up next to another large mural in Belfast depicting the Starry Plough – a symbol of the Irish Republican movement – which says “Support Republican Socialist Political Prisoners”.
 
Martin Bain was proved to be a cowardly, spi eless, snivelling little lick spittle for the despica ble David Murray. Bain was openly challenged to defend our club and its fans where he promised to do so. Upon challenging of his failure weeks later, he ran away.

There's a reason the conning bastard was called smithers.

Him and Murray a match made in hell for Rangers.
 
The only person I have met that worked at Rangers who wasn't on the playing staff was as big a celtic as they come. He hated working for us as a youth coach but it paid and the job was local.

Bain was a General Manager at Murray's Electronic factory Mimtec. He tried to transfer those skills to our club in return for a hefty wage and bonus. Miles short of what was required. A lickspittle is the perfect term.

Was the employing Rangers fan / non Rangers fan thing not brought up in a Herald interview? Not defending him but I think it was in respect of a senior position. He replied a Rangers fan would be influenced by their love for the club. A non Ranger would make a decision based without bias. Sound like something straight out of that 80's favourite book "The 5 minute manager".

Anything lower than executive level then Bain couldn't give a %^*& what their name was let alone what team they supported.

Miles out of his depth yet made multi millions out of the game.
 
The liberal and hand wringers at Ibrox have ensured we fight the Tims with one hand behind our backs if we even fight at all, yet they are excused the focus and scorn the FTP brigade get.

It's time to get staunch again at Ibrox. Boot out the mentally challengeds, get our values back and our sense of purpose back again and take to the war to the filth.

2.50 onwards. There's a pic of Jimmy Johnstone in the green n grey hung on the wall at Ibrox (it's in the video if u don't believe me).
 
I was in a taxi last week and the driver told me this whopper where he had an old oirish bint as a fair, she told him her man and son, both mentally challenged, helped erect the upgrades in the 90's, said they planted r*$@ry's in the brickwork :D
