I see two concerning Rangers issues and stadium shambles is only the half of it – Hugh Keevins

I'm not sure what looks worse. Rangers mess up a rebuild at Ibrox and sack a staff member who couldn’t organise a delivery of building materials.

Moving to Murrayfield, if that is what eventually happens, involves extra expenditure for season-ticket holders turned into displaced persons. Compensation claims for devalued season tickets will follow. And what do the SPFL do about Murrayfield when either Hibs or Hearts will be playing at home on the same weekend as Rangers are dealing with their temporary accommodation issues?
