[Gers55]

Interesting that Mick Beale won't be the only one wearing a suit on matchdays, saying the players will now also being going back to that tradition.

It is true, he said it himself

 

[Scarlett]

Iirc he did that at QPR too.

 

[Oranje]

I’m a fan of this

 

[TheEgg]

must be a nightmare to run in , no?

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Go back to the no mobile phone rule as well. Also lets not feed them till they win games

 

[T WATP]

When was the last time the players did this? I think maybe Europe under Gerrard but not in the league, are we going back to Walters 2nd spell?

 

[Simply a Bear]

He is going to hold the players to higher standards. About time, as too many have been coasting this season.

 

[Zwingli'sSausages]

Win lots of games of football, and I couldn’t care less what they wear, as long as it’s not bootcut jeans.

 

[Thewandofpedro]

A suit and giant headphones?

And Nike trainers

 

[si72]

All about standards and MB will bring it back.Suited and Booted is the standard at Rangers.

 

[club175]

Football and rugby clubs up and down the land turn up to games in shirt and tie and our club should be no different.

 

[Carson's Cat]

I came to post 'standards' and 'suited and booted' but you got ahead of me.

I 100% endorse this.

 

[Nick Angel]

Huge fan of this

Wore suits to the Girodome before.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

Should never not have been the case.

Well done MB.

 

[cooperman]

Having to wear a suit in the Scottish weather can’t be fun, especially if it’s pissing it down & freezing to boot

 

[Harbour Bear]

Should never have been anything but.

Building great foundations is the Gaffer

 

[Willie Legenderson]

It will put some of signing for us……
how many clubs have this as a rule?

 

[dcbear]

Go full in, no facial hair or tattoos either.

 

[Nerlinger]

Can wear armbands and a tutu for all I care as long as they get moving on the pitch again.

 

[MountFBear]

Just waiting for the Castore suit range email

 

[Bornabear]

Yeah you really feel for them must be a hard life..

 

[Humbug]

[Harry316]

Good, bring back the traditions of our club.

 

[Diego Maradona]

Go full in, no facial hair or tattoos either.

Manager needs a shave then

 

[The Meik's Crombie]

Not if you are wearing a Crombie over your suit.

 

[dh1963]

Folk won't be surprised to hear that this old traditionalist is very happy with this news.

 

[PrsoGood]

Meh, I don't really care about the players being suited

 

[11 ALBERTZ]

Castore matchday suit range incoming

 

[ItsInTheNet]

As it always should be at Rangers.

 

[The Director]

This is where you see who believes in high standards and who doesn’t based on the reactions. Good move by Beale - the traditions of Rangers are paramount.

 

[JMCK]

Meh, I don't really care about the players being suited

The manager obviously does though.

 

[Awritenobad]

You just know they’ve been sitting round the bowling club committee room that is the Ibrox boardroom wondering what demands to place on the new manager.

‘Let’s make him have the players wear suits on match days?!’

Reminds me of the time Pedro banned green boots.

 

[CooperBlue]

I think I remember Barcelona did, maybe still do, this and it was part of the physiology with the opposition seeing them turn up suited in their huge bus and coming across as more professional, the bigger team.

 

[Dumfriesbear]

Standards

 

[HighlandLoyal3036]

I love it. Discipline is a massive thing in my opinion. I know it's only wearing a suit, but putting that extra bit of effort in makes a difference.

 

[ronadamus_prime]

Was this tradition not dropped by Gerrard originally? Never understood why it was dropped in the first place to be honest.

 

[insanicdrunk]

Aye right.

Well apart from Beale implementing the same thing at QPR.

I see nothing wrong in asking them to be smartly dressed when going to their work. Might help with the mindset that they are going to work.

I think it was Advocaat who did away with the shirt and tie when he arrived.

 

[ronadamus_prime]

I was convinced it ran longer than that. I remember it being a thing under Pedro and Murty. Pretty certain it was under Warburton too.

 

[Blue and white ‘75]

Right I’ll get grief on here from the woke brigade among us , but I would like to see the end of players making the sign of the cross

Ggod News that will cover up some unsightly tattoo's

 

[Burghblue]

Players turning up in suits with club badge an club tie,class

 

[Sandy76]

It may have been reintroduced but something sticks in my mind that Advocaat was 1st to do away with the tradition.

.....equally, I might be talking pi$h!

 

[ronadamus_prime]

It must have comeback in under Walter or McLeish. Because I'm convinced we had it in place prior to Gerrard and Gio being manager.
