Regardless of whether you have any interest in WWE or not isn't really relevant. This isn't the lounge and I'm not creating this thread to debate the fact that its fake, grown men who watch it are for the watching, etc.
For those of you who don't yet know/care, Drew McIntyre became the first ever British WWE Champion and did it by "beating" Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania - in Pro Wrestling terms, it can't get much bigger than that.
Now, Drew has firmly nailed is colours to the mast on several occasions. He is a massive Rangers man - he's shared a lot of content to his followers and the wider "WWE Universe" wearing the kit and slagging the likes of Scott Brown and Sutton. This is excellent publicity that, as usual, is simply not utilised by our club.
Go on to our various platforms this morning - facebook, Instagram and Twitter - you'll see a mention of the 2002 cup final yesterday, a happy birthday for Richard Gough... and not a jot about a Rangers man becoming the first ever British WWE Champion
Inevitably I'll get the "who cares" responses but, we absolutely should care. Our club should always be on top of these things, especially if we want to compete with other elite clubs around Europe. Compare our SM following against that lot from the East and we are beaten every time. If Galloway was a dhim - you know they'd absolutely be all over this and utilising him to tap further in to the American market - especially now during quarantine with social media traffic increasing.
Put this in to context:

The forum wouldn't let me post the image I wanted so here it is below. That's a Rangers man holding their title which is accessible to 40 million people this morning. Its ridiculous that the club is not even putting out a "congratulations" this morning with a picture of him in our colours and tagging him. Why are we so slow with these things?
