Ibrox fans weren’t impressed by the announcement of a December glamour friendly against Bayer Leverkusen.
From the initial reaction not even the lure of 5 MyGers points will get loyal bears along to the match with calls to boycott the match as a protest against the board who charged them £60 a ticket to get skudded in the Champions League.
After a day of silence on social media, without even a James Tavernier interview pointing out that the SPFL gap is only seven points, the club now faces being swamped with abuse and criticism with every Twitter announcement.
That bizarre sense of entitlement is never far from the surface, the board has short changed the loyal bears who apparently expect every domestic match to be won while progressing in Europe.
Nine defeats this season, eight since the start of September has crushed the support with the departure of Giovanni van Bronckhorst the statement that almost all fans are waiting on.
To get us ready for finishing second this year? Pointless money-grabbing attempt. Not a glamour tie, not interesting in the slightest.

Boycott this game. It’s the only way we can hit the board in the pocket and make them stand up and take notice. Boycotting league matches doesn’t have the same effect, they have the season ticket money already!

Announce Martindale.

Everyone boycott this. Paying to watch a friendly whilst the club is run into the ground is not right.

A friendly for hopefully a new manager to get to see what he needs to change in January

Have we not been hammered by enough European teams this season yet.

Given results & performances I’d suggest a trip down to the Ayrshire sand dunes is required more than a friendly against Bayer Leverkusen!

I think i was more optimistic about the season under Warburton. Nobody cares Mr Rangers
