Even football is not spared by the economic downturn.
Rangers have offered redundancy packages. The Scottish Premier League outfit posted a £3.9m loss for the six months to December 2008 and BBC News has reported that this top club is even now looking to trim even the size of its first-team squad.

Goals from Vela (25th minute), Eduardo (51st minute), and Eboue (84th minute) sealed Arsenal’s victory over Burnley in the FA Cup fifth round; a match that showcased Arsenal’s classy style and lethal potential. It’s about time.
But Celtic’s performance was just the opposite, having lost to St Mirren 0-1, and bowing out at this quarter-final stage of the Scottish Cup for the second year running.
As Gordon Strachan, Celtic manager rightfully admitted, “We weren’t the best team”.
I was trying very hard to take a break from talking about politics – at least for a while – but I guess it is not easy since our country is going through very exciting political times!
Even BBC News (March 07) reported that Malaysian riot police fired tear gas to disperse thousands of people (The Star, March 08, only described hundreds of protesters) in Kuala Lumpur, who protested against the use of English to teach Science and Mathematics in local schools.

"It was a peaceful march. They shot without any warning," protester Hatta Ramli was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency (Webpage http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7930243.stm).
And it is regrettable that we see a heavy police presence only when citizens march and/or demonstrate – most times, with crime surging everywhere, their presence is sparse.
The tentacles of crime are spreading everywhere. So crime must be quickly and urgently tackled.
Sadly, the police are being deployed to non-crime chores because the government wants to play politics.
PDRM must focus on crime because their duty is to fight crime! Not to confront non-violent protesters.
Geez, get your priority right!
