After a brief brush with reality from PSV Eindhoven and Celtic, Ibrox fans are back in the comfort of deep delusion.
Apparently the world’s most famous club are a global institution although there is absolutely nothing to substantiate either claim.
A favoured fantasy is the building of a club hotel next door to Ibrox, a story that the Sunday Mail lovingly portrayed during the pomp of Dave Murray with a super casino, helipad and floating pitch that could transform the stadium from hosting a Champions League tie with Real Madrid in the afternoon into hosting sell-out concerts for Andy Cameron and Amie MacDonald in the evening.
Murray managed to roll with that claim for a couple of years before extracting a pound coin from Craig Whyte as he salvaged the profitable parts of his business empire from Lloyds TSB.
On a slightly smaller scale the club recently opened New Edmiston House to host concerts and events but apart from matchdays the diary for the three star venue lists about four events a month.
Discussing another money-spinner…

Ah’ve been hampering oan fur years about buldin a hotel. Unfortunately that big fitbaw park across from the main door at Ibrox is getting rougher and rougher and looks horrendous.
Imagine a big hotel, a big Rangers hotel, built there with a big helipad with the badge oan it. An you go into yer room an it’s awe yer Rangers bed and curtains, yer heroes awe over the woz, the hallways. Big swimming pool wae the badge, everyhin, yae can just imagine it.
It, it, it wid pull in a fortune…………. yer sky would be the limit if you had a hotel, winit?
N kin yae imagine awe the berrz cumin fae Belfast, dae yae think they’d use the Swallow (Hotel on Paisley Road), awe these different places? Novotel? When you can go into a hotel and it is awe Rangers, right across the road from the stadium? Cmoan man there is a killin to be made there, a killin.
Sounds like he’s got an astute business head on him. ?

In 2012 Rangers fans were unable to raise the funds to deliver a CVA to save their club from liquidation.

You can almost hear him stroking himself as he’s saying it.
Lol what a load of DOPEY Jeremy Hunts,they will probably build the hotel with RAAC Concrete and rip them off again.
Can’t stop laughing at these fannies. The zombies are truly the DUMBEST fans in football.
If Sevco did build a hotel none of their junkie fans’ benefits will be enough to cover even the basic broom cupboard rate of £16.90 a night, complimentary Buckfast miniature or not!
Such a shower of idiots…
No wonder they built The Swallow Hotel on Paisley Road West – as that lot swallow anything !
You would have the doss hoose across from the big hoose.
