Rangers fans will never walk alone
Oh wait, that’s not right?!?!
We always like to see teams get involved with charitable projects as it is good to see them give something back from time to time. We are not so precious that we forget clubs are corporate businesses these days but doing a little extra to help others should be congratulated. Rangers announced a few weeks ago about their Champions Walk scheme but some more details have just been released.
The Rangers Charity Foundation has announced that the event will take place in Ibrox Stadium on Sunday the 8th of August 2010. This is scheduled to be the weekend before the start of the SPL season so there should be no worries about fixture clashes at this point.
Tying in with the fact that Rangers clinched their 53rd title last season, the walk will encompass 5.3km. This will see fans walking around the perimeter of the Ibrox pitch 53 times but there shouldn’t be too many concerns about the view becoming a bit boring.
In the middle of the Ibrox pitch will be the SPL trophy and surely no football fan could ever get sick of seeing that on their home turf?
Events like this are a great way for people to get involved in raising money for charity when they probably wouldn’t do so otherwise so it will hopefully be well supported and received. Also, if it helps some fans get some exercise whilst raising money for a good cause, it would take a churlish person to look for faults in this.
Is your club organising a charity event this summer? If so, let us know and we’ll do our best to promote the effort.
On that note, our friends at Cold Blooded Clarity are organising a charity gig event this Thursday (10th June) at The Admiral Bar in Glasgow. Three great bands for a fiver and a rock n raffle! More details can be found at this website: Cold Blooded Clarity

Rangers FC are the biggest football club charity fund raisers in the UK, credit to the club and the men and women behind the Rangers Charity Foundation. Well Done Rangers
Liam.. I never knew that , good on them if it’s true.
Have you got any links to information on this.
Thanks
Wonder why Rangers FC priced their Xmas dinner at £16.90 ?
Or banned Eggs Benedict ?
Or Steve Davis replaced a green carpet at the weekend for his wedding ?
Or Rangers FC banned Pepperami because it came in a green wrapper ?
Starange that ……… isn’t it , unless you know what Rangers FC represent
typical crap coming from a tim same as ure so called tonto erm you should worry what ure so called great catholic religion has banned over the yrs you trying to tell me celtics never done things that rangers have ???? get alife you loser what does celtc fc represent eh ????
and while im at it mr polanski can you tell me why theres never been aprotestant on the celtic board ?????? over to you big mouth
Hahaha TrueBlue yer pathetic.
You bring Shame to Scotland every time ye visit outside the country and ye can only have a go @ Celtic through religious nbackground – Secterianism and Bigotry do go down Govan way in many many ways – from fanbase, to boardroom, to coaching staff to playing 11. When was the last player Scotland’s Shame signed from southern Ireland?
Haw Tonto,
Whats wrong with not wanting the colour of your rivals
When Celtic played at Hampden for a year they wanted to change the black and white (Queens Park colours )decor inside Hampden to green and were told to bugger off.
Doesn’t seem so bad now does it ?
Whats so offensive to you about £16.90.Whats wrong with celebrating the year when civil and religious liberty was secured in this country.
It’s called football rivalry,get over it
Tonto – your opening comment was pathetic, bitter and uneducated.
The article is documenting Ranger’s efforts towards greater corporate social responsibility and as the author says; it would take a “churlish person to look for faults in this”.
It’s people like you who hold back progress in society,just either get a life or keep your hate and conspiracy theories to yourself.
DubCentral – all the information can be found on the official Rangers website
I would applaud any individual or football club that get involved with charities. And Rangers certainly should be congratulated.
However, on the other points raised here, the lengths Old Firm players and fans (not all, of course) go to to avoid any connection to their rivals is petty and pathetic. But I would suggest that you all just ignore each other rather than indulge in the usual slagging match.
As for 1690 being ‘the year when civil and religious liberty was secured in this country’…well, that all depends if you’re from Northern Ireland. It certainly wasn’t Scotland, Wales or England.
Tonto, i suggest you stop reading the comic that is the Sun/News Of The World, who for some time now have reported these garbage stories on a weekly basis. Oh and by the way you forgot the best one of them all, the time when we cut the grass in the shape of an Orange sash! What the author failed to realise is that the rest of the country was changing the shades on the parks to the same colour, doesn’t make a cheap ‘funny’ one sided bigoted story though if it’s anyone but the big bad Rangers, the route of all the worlds problems. I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to read a story in those rags blaming Rangers for the oil slick in the Gulf, such is the length of it’s bitter campaign.
Arabest, check your last paragraph in a historical context, you will soon see that your wrong in your assessment of the Glorious Revolution.
Lastly, well done to the author for highlighting this excellent venture by Rangers, the latest in a long line of Charitable work carried out by the club and it’s supporters. I’ve even forgiven you for your somewhat ‘cheeky’ headline and it’s Celtic connotations!! lol It’s a Liverpool song anyway!!!!
Quagmire, the cheekiness gets more people reading the story and therefore, helps to publicise the good work!
Anyways, if it’s good enough for Rangers and the title winning t-shirts they sold to fans, it’s good enough for us
they let bougera or whatever his name is wear his green and white Algerian flag round his arm so ur all talking shit.

YID ARMY
Arabest,
On the contrary,1690 ended popish Jacobite intentions in the British Isles (save Limerick and Aughrim) .It ushered in a constitutional monarchy and laws preventing Vatican interference in these islands for ever more.It secured a vital victory for free-thinking people in Western Europe so soon after the revoking of the Edict of Nantes
Why is this even being mentioned on a football website ?
Because the Most Oppressed People Ever formed a football club in Glasgow in1888 and have been ramming Ireland and all things Romish down our throat ever since
This country has a proud reformed heritage.If pricing a meal at £16.90 means either celebrating our past or winding our rivals up then so be it.
Its called football rivalry

“Whats wrong with celebrating the year when civil and religious liberty was secured in this country.

How to sum up everything that is wrong in the west of scotland in just a few sentences.
I can’t believe i just read that
JImmy i’m sorry but 1690 has NOTHING to do with football.
You’re a dying breed son, deal with it
PS I hate Celtic too btw, just hate Rangers more
