Great explanation IMO
Ironically the club tweet could have been written by a 13 year old girl

To be fair, that's as good a theory as mine. Though I still think the timing lends mine more credence.
Either way, if it was a dig at Speirs its obvious from the reaction on here that its gone over most folks heads. As soon as I read Speirs tweet (at 1158hrs) I went back to our statement on 11 Apr to see what he was on about and found the line. Within half an hour the Club had posted the tweet in the OP.

That’s a bit of an own goal PR wise tbh.
Just keep things professional.

-FF: Spiers' having a dig, wish we'd take him to task.
- Club responds.
- FF: Rangers shouldn't have done that, its unprofessional.

This type of stuff was inevitable, discredit, deflect, mis-direct....Any details of bullying/coercion are not going to come from Rangers, the club merely stated they had received reports from other parties. IF an investigation happens then those who experienced it will be able to give their account, discretely and to an independent body. In the end it will only add to what is a pile of highly questionable actions by those being paid to govern.
That tweet is pretty embarrassing, can see it coming back to bite us on the arse.

We have stooped to their level with that tweet.
Heat of the moment decision I’d imagine.

Surely it's sending a message to other clubs regarding their cowardice?

Sue Speirs. Let's go to court in a big way. Trawl his and Pizza face's published articles for glaring errors and sue the Bast***s and their Employers.
I think that we have made provision for Court and legal Fees in our accounts and now that Ashley has gone that provision can be made to get rid of some annoyances.

As for Speirs, I will quote the Bard, "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing".

It’s been such a long time coming I never really expected us to finally find our strength and recognise our value to the SPFL. Rather than continually be manipulated for others benefit for the first tangible time, we’ve said enough is enough.
The spirit of the club is also defined by its support, we must stand shoulder to shoulder and give everything we can in whatever position we are in.
I’m proud of the club today. Into battle we go, over the next few weeks you’ll see rangers bloggers and high profile fans either collapse at this or stand tall with the club.
Together we stand against the establishment or divided we fall.

OK, hands up, it appears I was wrong to suggest it was the Club Twitter hitting back at Speirs. Even though the timelines do fit perfectly.
Seems the media are content to take it as the Club simply 'doubling down' on our claims regarding the SPFL.
I apologise - though the co-incidence of the Speirs tweet and the Club tweet within 30 minutes was 'remarkable'.
From the Evening Times:
"RANGERS have hit back at the SPFL following the release of their dossier - saying "Rangers will not be bullied into silence."
The defiant message was shared on the club's official Twitter page as they retweeted their initial statement from April 11, which claimed the Scottish football league governing body were guilty of misconduct."

Aye we should just bend over and let the corduroy clad c.unt and his ilk ram it right up us. That's worked really well for the last thirty odd years.

The tweet is saying we won’t be bullied. We won’t!
We are calling them out and they try and mock us by going public in response, if they had nothing to hide they would hold and indie investigation and charge us with bringing the game into disrepute if they have nothing to hide but no they keep batting it away while their clowns in the media back them up.

Honestly, the whole thing is embarrassing now. We waited all this time for this? We needed bombshell material and didn’t get it. Bad start for the new PR guy

That's nonsense. Our dossier is designed to push for an investigation. That's all.
You've obviously swallowed the propaganda.

You don't really like much about the Club. Or you're not quite understanding what's going on.

The only people pushing 'the smoking gun' were the media. It was concerted effort by useful idiots to downplay the effect of the dossier. They can all now say "well there really was no smoking gun" and drive people to lose interest due to the lack of the imaginary 'Smoking gun."
Don't allow headlines, radio pundits or Follow Follow Lord Haw Haw's to form your opinion for you. That's exactly what they want, it's their strategy. Read the document - if you haven't already - and you'll see Rangers are 100% correct to push for an Independent investigation.
Rangers also 100% correct to respond on social media platforms too, it's the way the world is.
