Despite the range of new media options available, old school radio still contributes greatly to the Banter Years from Ibrox.
Two matches in and it seems that loyal bears are abandoning the Staunch Revolution of Derek McInnes.
All through the close season all was happy and glorious at the third best team in Scotland.
Signing Lawrence Shankland for free was a masterstroke and instantly put Celtic’s double success in the shade.
When wee Deek replaced Danny, Danny Rohl the joy was off the radar.
Two blue-noses at the heart of the 14-year-old club.
Two men that know all the songs banned by UEFA and who ‘get it’.
The good news was rolled out brilliantly.
Young Ross McCrorie returned to the club he loved.
Allan McGregor was appointed as Goalkeeper Coach.
Topping it off was the reappointment of Jim McAllister. The true successor to Jimmy Bell. The Laundry Leg End.
According to some bears the iconic bus driver and washing machine operator was a bigger loss than Steven Gerrard or Walter Smith.
Bell was the man that kept the traditions of the now dead Rangers alive. He even shared a jacuzzi and a bottle of whisky with Russell Martin to counter the wokery of the former Norwich City defender.
THE DELUSIONS OF THE IBROX SUPPORT
All was going well until kick-off time away to Dundee United last Friday. Followed by the 2-1 defeat from Jagiellonia.
After the joys of pre-season the return of real football has killed off the dreams. Not even Deludemol is working.

A few years ago Derek on Go Radio accused Barry Ferguson of being a cheer-leader for Micky Beale.
‘Noe ah murny,” answered the articulate former Alloa Athletic manager.
Caller after caller highlighted the problems and issues.
And doubted whether wee Deek was the man to solve the issues.
James Tavernier and the Serial Losers have moved on.
The Golden Generation led by Manny Fernandez and Youssef Chermiti haven’t delivered. No trophies and no Dembele Dollrs transfer fees.
Another season of pain and misery is opening up.
No-one deserves it more than the dejected bears and the soothing messengers spreading good news on SSB and Go Radio.
I seen some of this footage and Uncle Albert,sorry uncle Barry looked like he was on a sponsored silence,I never heard one word leave his mouth,he sat stoney faced,with rage boiling up inside him.
We need some more comedy gold ,like another interview with McGregor standing there with his flashers coat on,and a copy of pocket rustler sticking out the pocket of the coat,with words at the bottom of as you follow the bouncing ball when he speaks.
Sunbed Sam looked under severe pressure at that press conference the other night after that European defeat,the auld PANIC button was taking a bit of hit.
The pressure is now on for Sunday should anymore points get dropped.
It’s at ibrox so the bigoted crowd may well put the ref under severe pressure if things ain’t going their way,and forcing him and the other officials to make decisions there that aren’t really there,to the benefit of sevco.
Watch out for the opposition getting a man or 2 sent off with a penalty or 2 to sevco, might even get an honest mistake or 2 in chopping off 1 or 2 goals for the opposition as well,with Etch-A-Sketch var line being drawn for offside decisions.
It will be most interesting to hear how much time and how many ex theRangers players and brown noser affiliates are used to forensically examine the failures of theRangers and McInnes on Sportsound from the BBC Scottish version on the radio this afternoon ? All hurting badly desperate to give their little bit of help and ‘knowledge’ to the latest Ibroxland coacher guy McInnes and his evidently obvious deficiencies! Have you ever known a club or clumpany which finished third last season receive so much priority and attention and sympathetic coverage from all SMSM outlets and beyond as the tribute act gets ….perennially ?
