Skint Rangers would welcome Conference cash too as Celtic fans snap back at 'league of failures' jibe – Hotline

From Annan Athletic to Borussia Dortmund in the space of five days - the past week has been something of a poetic microcosm of the journey Rangers have made over the past decade.

Ten years on from their financial collapse the Ibrox side are preparing to face the Bundesliga giants in the Europa League just days after disposing of Annan in the Scottish Cup.

And John Bruce emailed: “Ten years ago Rangers were playing in the Third Division. Their journey back from those dark days has seen them climb to to the very pinnacle of Scottish football as Premiership champions, winning their 55th title and stopping Celtic's coveted 10 In A Row.

"On Thursday we play Borussia Dortmund in one of Europe's two premier competitions, having rebuilt our reputation as one of Europe's top clubs. How many other clubs could have completed such a journey - and done it so successfully?”

Colin Hall, Carrickfergus, said: “Away to Dortmund is an extremely difficult game but if we could get a positive result, even a draw then, depending on injuries, I think we could do the business at Ibrox a week later.”
