Generous Rangers to leave Tannadice half-empty


As well as being able to exact some revenge, Rangers’ Scottish Cup tie at Dundee United in February will allow the club to make a bold statement.
As well as being able to exact some revenge, Rangers’ Scottish Cup tie at Dundee United in February will allow the club to make a bold statement.
Maybe it was a bit harsh, but Rangers Chief Executive Charles Green has posed the question this week:
"How can Manchester United's revenues be £320m and Aston Villa, who are completely useless, get £250m?"
This was in the context that he had predicted that a European League would be formed because big teams can't keep subsidising the small teams.
After a universal mini-break in domestic competition for want of World Cup qualifying, this coming weekend sees a return to the spotlight for the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A et al as the majority of Europe goes back to the day job. The English Premier League also gets back to business and Aston Villa, one of its ever-present clubs since its 1992 inception, will travel to Fulham.
The 2012/13 SPL will not feature Rangers, who have won the competition seven times.
