And there’s a Union Bears “We’ll not stand idly by” statement too for you to enjoy!

The statement from the Union Bears should worry dodgy Dave much more than the one from 1872, which is completely on message as far as King is concerned.

The more rebellious Union Bears, have accused King of promising the earth and delivering next to nothing and they are not happy.

They were presumably behind the Bedsheet putsch at Murray Park last night when they unfurled their We Deserve Better bed-sheet and padlocked the rusty old gates closed.

Now they have made our day by using the “We will not stand idly by’ slogan, made famous in 2012 as part of their sophisticated marketing campaign against HMRC aimed at stopping their club dying.

Here’s what the Union Bears have to say…

“We would like to make our position clear regarding the club in its current form.

“Issues at the club, at all levels, need addressed urgently and we will do everything in our power to ensure this happens.

“We will take action and protest in various ways in the coming weeks, months or however long required.

We will not stand idly by as our club is being so obviously mismanaged at the highest level.

“We do not expect instant success, but we do expect progress, something which this board has failed to deliver in every aspect since taking power, despite promising the world.

“We will be attending this weekend’s match against Hearts, however we will not have a vocal presence.

“This is part of a long line of planned protests that we have organised. The club have taken us, the Rangers support for granted for too long and have left us with no choice but to take action.

“The Union Bears seek to support Rangers in a positive, colourful and vocal manner.

“However, the obvious lack of desire, fight and leadership on the pitch on Sunday is a clear sign of a much more deep rooted problem within the club.

“This decision was not taken lightly, as to support the team is our ultimate aim, however the long term security and success of our club is vital.

“We deserve better.”
