So we touched on this earlier, a more in-depth look at Rangers’ stadium fiasco which has left us in a position of potentially not having Ibrox at all for the rest of this calendar year.

Early October is an optimistic projection, more realistic ones see the flip to 2025 as likely.

But how did it get here?

From the start of this year, the chairman John Bennett has been in the ear of the project manager of Rangers’ Copland Road renovation – who had been giving him promises that the critical steel and other ordered materials would be in Govan by early summer for the work to start immediately after competitive football was ended.

After the repeated empty promises, it became clear to Bennett in May that this was looking sketchy at best, and by June, it was clear it wasn’t happening in time.

We do not know the company the now-sacked Project Manager used, but as Bennett explained, there were three shipments, and while one has finally arrived, the other two won’t be here for potentially, at the earliest, 3 weeks from now.

This is the major risk ordering from Asia – the logistics and efficiency are almost zero – the quality is good, they manufacture well, but it’s done on the cheap especially in labour, and you’re sacrificing performance for that.

So then the next question is… why did former CEO James Bisgrove leave so sharpish just prior?

Bisgrove bolted on the 30th of May, and the big news formally broke 3 weeks later about Ibrox – we cannot help wondering how big a hand the CEO had in this calamity.

The fact an ‘unnamed Ibrox employee’ was sacked might in fact be cover for the CEO moving onto pastures new. We are of course speculating.

Bisgrove was a dire CEO, he shouldn’t have been taken from his (excellent) comfort zone of commercial and put into the top job. A big mistake.

But this is getting away from the problem – Bennett was pursuing this all year, and Bisgrove would have known too.

The materials were needed and didn’t arrive anywhere near on time, and this delay has meant gigantic implications for Rangers’ season.

Who is to blame?

We really, honestly do not know. It could be Bennett, Bisgrove, the mythical project lead or someone else entirely. Maybe all three.

It’s left us without a stadium and one of the most farcical shambles we’ve ever seen from our club.

And it could be many months before Ibrox is operable again.

Very, very poor.
