10,000 travelled across Europe for a group game against an average European name in a game to see if we could get into the last 32 of Europe's second competition.
That support has seen their team kicked down the leagues with no rule in existence to do that. Seen their club pillaged by spivs and crooks. Seen their hated rivals given years of a free run at millions of pounds to make them stronger. Not seen their club win any major honour in over 7 years.
A bigger away support than any club in the Champions League.
A bigger away support than our rivals by a mile.
All over the world, football people look at Rangers and see a support as loyal and as passionate as anywhere.
Just as well they don't read this board, they would be wondering if those in here and those who follow in the footsteps of their team are the same people.
Our captain is shite.
Our defenders are shite.
Our team is rotten.
Our manager is clueless.
Our ex players in the media are enemies.
This Rangers team have went toe to toe this season against teams from Spain, Croatia, Russia, Austria.
A year ago they couldn't compete with the 4th best team in Luxembourg.
Just over 3 years ago we finished 3rd in the second tier in Scotland.
3 years before that we were losing games to Annan and Stirling Albion.
We have a board investing in the club they love.
We have a manager known the world over, a winner who WILL deliver success.
We have survived and grown despite so many enemies looking to destroy us.
We aren't yet good enough to play European football after Xmas. That isn't enough to throw toys out the pram and want to rip the team and manager to shreds.
Expectation is part of what we are. But perspective and calm heads are what Mr Struth told us is also what we must have. Some of the threads and posts tonight are lunacy.
