It would have been amazing, alas, this was always the likely outcome.
Lot of good came out of it though.

Bitterly disappointing but always seemed a bit of a long shot . Great for charity

RTV? Completed it mate!
It was always a very long shot.
The only criticism I've made, right from the start, was that they should have made enquiries before launching the appeal. I'm retired now but had 32 years in the Royal Air Force so had an understanding of the obstacles that needed to be overcome.
Nevertheless, a magnificent effort from the guys at the Bridgeton Loyal and the response from Bears has been superb. It's great that the charities will benefit with such a huge injection of cash.

Let the bickering begin about which charities should benefit.
As long as someone benefits that’s what counts.

A fantastic effort by the rangers family as ever and monies given to charities at these difficult times will be greatly appreciated! WATP

Right get those pidgins tae work. Red, White and Blue smoke bombs.
Always a long shot as said above. Much needed funds for charity in difficult times so it's all good.

If we’re going to get Russians doing something over at that dump it would be more than vapour and I’d wait until the stadium was full mate cmon now we need to box clever these days.
Could a few bears with Drones get together and do a fly by with smoke bombs attached?
Only if @Valley Bluenose isn't available of course lol

Cannot grumble, the money is going to fantastic causes. Well done to all involved.

Really disappointed with this news, was looking forward to it.
I hope we get to hear why the Arrows couldn't do it, was it their diary, was it logistical or were they just not interested.
At least the charities will see the benefit.
As a poster said above, a donation to Alfie's charity would be nice as well.

Will have been their commitments already. Pretty sure when this was first suggested it was said by a few people it was unlikely as they need much more notice than this and at this time of year are already committed to other things

Is there not someone unemployed who might relish the chance of doing this?Could we get you to run past with your arms out plane style and some smoke bombs strapped to your back
I mean, what other skills do you need. Just be able to run around acting like a plane.
Hmm, now to find someone out of work who could do that.

This idea wasn't for me. Far happier the money is going to charity.

Can we not just get some sort of small commercial plane to continuously fly over Ibrox with several different banners throughout the game with that money?

I actually spoke to the RAF Pal Col in Whitehall, through work about it and he wasn’t overly confident of the chance of success.
He loved the idea of it right enough

They’re just using that as a cover all funds are going to the UVF

I wonder who’s dark hand is responsible for no fly by?
Get it organised for the start of next season then. If we are not allowed to be in the stadium for the unfurling at least this is something.
Good idea , the Edinburgh Hogmanay one was fantastic too

It would’ve been great but self indulgent to a degree so the fact that much needed money is going to charities is commendable and maybe an even better way of celebrating our 55th title by giving.Well done to the Bridgeton loyal great idea and well worth all our contributions thanks .
