[Captain Climax]

Dunno about anyone else but i thought Gareth Bale has left spurs to go in the Indian league from the picture haha

 

[Macdonsj]

that could boost our facebook traffic significantly


gone from AGM in tent run by spivs to a well oiled corporate entity to compliment the core football side

 

[cooprfc]

We seem to be starting to branch out into non typical money making ventures these days.

 

[Barisic's Bandage]

James Bisgrove proving his worth once again.

 

[CoopBlue]

Continuing to guard old Dheli's wall and all that.

 

[shotta1974]

if it makes the club more money then excellent

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

Mon the Bengaluru!

 

[brain]

Good stuff. There 8-10 million people in Bengaluru.

 

[ICA_86]

Excellent.

We’re doing some really innovative business just now.

 

[brain]

Give Hyderabad a hiding!

 

[Voxtronix]

Genuine question, how will this benefit Rangers? I'm guessing it does and I just don't understand.

If it is to broadcast games to a UK audience does that not mean there needs to be an audience in the UK wanting to watch Indian football? Is there much of a market for that?

 

[ScottXC]

Nice, only the 1.3billion people in India, with football rising to be their second biggest sport behind cricket.

 

[JD1872]

Would not be surprised if we also do something similar with a Chinese club next, there is huge growing potential in these countries and we have expertise on the board that know these markets

 

[Man on the post]

Is this not last months news?

 

[Tom Petty]

There's millions of Indians in the UK who now have the chance to watch it for free. The point of making it free is that it's a developing market. Asians have been pretty much excluded from football in this country, why can't Rangers be the team to bridge the gap?

I’m sure this is all coming through a link via Alan Gow.

Yep there we go. Knew I was missing something completely obvious! Cheers.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Let the puns commence.

No Surrinder.

 

[SpectraBear]

Hopefully we get an influx of Indian supporters like we seem to have with S. Africa after Zungu signing!

Rangers, the global brand, its just different baby!

 

[BABN]

Nice. Will celebrate with an Indian takeaway 2nite.

 

[Blue As]

This deal looks well...the full bhuna

Remember rangers bought the rights to show spfl games in India and every penny of profit on that through advertising etc goes to us and nobody else.

 

[oldblueeyes]

Thought we had finally signed Robbie Fowler

Because they all already support English teams or prefer cricket

It must be beneficial or we wouldn't have done it but I can't see it being a massive success.

 

[SirAlfredofMorelos]

There are millions of Indians and people of Indian descent in the UK. If advertised properly we could bring a lot of traffic to Rangers along with potential ad revenue.
Not everyone of them will become Rangers fans but they will be consistently seeing our branding and stuff about us when watching. It could add some new fans to us.

I'll bet they can't believe their Lucknow.

 

[Arkanoid]

I'll tune in for sure never mind the Indian community, Will this includes Robertson's Kashmir?

 

[a_weir]

This is cool and I am sure that we will have many Indian football fans cumin to our Facebook page to watch the games.

 

[bedsblue]

Probably.

 

[Kilpatricknick]

Wonder if Martin Bain is involved? I think hes working out there.

 

[Theoldgeezer]

Excellent.

We’re doing some really innovative business just now.

Long may it continue

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Wonder if Martin Bain is involved? I think hes working out there.

Still trying to get a tan no doubt

 

[hms]

Let the puns commence.

No Surrinder.

Tikka seat, we’ve got all day

 

[hms]

The potential is for the ex pat indians watching, advertising, traffic to the clubs social media accounts and eventually an interest in Rangers

 

[SuperGers07]

[BoyciesDa]

Anymore partnerships there won’t be enough seats if they all turn up for same game when it starts back up

 

[GF7]

Out of over a billion people there is surely a footballing superstar there who will be mesmerised by the the Teddy Bears.

my Naan is over moon.

Bengaluru is the team we partnered with our there, I think?

Didn't know this, could be good business.

 

[Bannerman]

Can we adopt this team from Goa?

 

[Tormusk1872]

Im looking out for Jamshedpur this season. Owen Coyle and old Castlemilk school pal Sandy Stewart in charge.

 

[waltersgotstyle]

We had that lad in the picture on trial a few years back.

 

[Tormusk1872]

Can we adopt this team from Goa?

All the teams in the Indian ISL are temp based and playing all their fixtures in Goa this season, due to the pandemic.

 

[the_littlest_hobo]

Mon the Real Kashmir

 

[motlow]

I'm only here for the puns. They didn't disappoint lol

 

[Giopeople]

Is this not last months news?

Last months news was the Rangers had bought the rights to show SPFL games in India. So this is the reverse sort of.

James Bisgrove deserves a Patna back for this! Didn't think this could be a Goa!
