Wonder if they will keep turning up to the new Ibrox Tesco in droves for the next few season scratching their heads? "Who am I?, What do I do now?"

Probably. They don't do "Walk Away", but they are great at doing stupid.

Anyway, just working out the party tunes for the Jelly and Ice Cream bonanza.
What do you reckon to this?

I don't think so. Most Rangers fans are not renowned for their deep thinking.
Once they have been hardwired how to think, there is no shifting it.
They would still sing "Rule Britannia" if English Frigates were shelling the Copland Road.

Might sound a bit melodramatic and far fetched, but could Rangers's woes (if it goes seriously tits up) go as far as making their Scots fans loyal to the Union a bit more cynical and inclined towards Scottish independence?

The administrators of Rangers are paid by the hour.

The progress of the administration of Rangers is being drawn out and taking a long time.

Can anyone connect the sentences.

Isn't that their job (I think somebody mentioned it in another post). They swim around aimlessly soaking up what little there is left before declaring the club bankrupt when it is finally brassick?

Dignity? No company could create the mess Rangers are in with Dignity are you sure Dignitas is not the word you wanted.

I think the only big English clubs that have ended up in the same sort of mess are Portsmouth and Leeds.

Rangers have however managed to do it with DIGNITY

Rangers have however managed to do it with a bigger bang.

Also EPL clubs are much more attractive to a multi-millionaire,who would come in and save them.

Are Celtic and other clubs (English ones) in the same situation? we know Portsmouth are.

Celtic most definitely are NOT. But you are right, a great many others are in financial difficulties.
To be fair to some of them though, they have not arrived at that point in quite the cavalier and gung-ho fashion that Rangers have.
That is why most of them will avoid liquidation.

And the administrators get paid before all other creditors - you forgot that bit.
