Well done boys, much better today, and Cyriel 2 Shankland 0. Let's get things moving now lads for the remainder of this season, I didn't think much of Celtic yesterday at all and if we play at a pace we will beat them. I have to say well done today to Todd Cantwell, I've been very critical of him of late, but he turned up today as the player we know he can be.
1.) 21 Apr 2024 18:43:11
Cantwell played really well today!
Dessers had a great game, and deserved his 2 goals, but C'mon, the Shankland thing is petty. Shankland is a v good player, and just because he failed to score, and Dessers scored 2, doesn't, all of a sudden, make Dessers the better player.
Big shout out to Balogun who was solid. The big man deserves to keep his place, and keep Goldson out. However, I need to say, Souttar was very shaky and not at his best. We need both CD's playing well.
2.) 21 Apr 2024 20:41:20
He isn’t a very good player RTR.
3.) 21 apr 2024 21:37:19
sorry irv, a hundred oercent i would prefer shankland in my team, maybe i'm wrong, but that's my opinion, ,
14 Apr 2024 15:02:31
Well guys, it's a long while since I've felt as angry with our players, we were disgusting to a man today, no skill, no belief as a result of having no guts. PC has to take some criticism for playing Barisic at LB, the man is now hopeless as he's leaving in May, so he should've started with Sterling.
A few things also answered for me today, I wouldn't pay money for either Silva or Sima, look at getting good players in for less money that understand what playing for us is all about. Ross County thoroughly deserve to win the game, they shoot when an opportunity presents itself, not this side and backwards, and not even being able to find a Rangers player, total CRAP, no other word for it.
Don't look for anything on Wednesday either guys, this lot don't have the guts to deliver, rant over from this normally glass half full guy. not tonight I'm afraid.
1.) 14 Apr 2024 15:10:20
Agree it was crap and deserved what we got.
2.) 14 Apr 2024 15:21:04
What players then do you suggest we get that "understand what it means to play for us"?
3.) 14 Apr 2024 15:40:47
Too true Port - Silva is a petulant wannabe and is not the answer for us - skilful or not - would not waste big money on him.
Our defence is full of ballwatchers who couldn't mark a Saturday coupon - their midfield made us look silly at times and acres of space allowed at back and how many wasteful outswinging corners do we need in a game - 17 corners today - work on training ground required there - PC please take note!
Also praise to Ross County who were hungrier to a man for the full 97mins - hope the squad are made to watch the game back tomorrow and see who can spot the schoolboy errors and mistakes - because there were MANY
Agree with many previous posters - we must rid ourselves of the perennial under achievers and bottlers and its obvious who they are.
4.) 14 Apr 2024 15:41:23
That’s on the players today. Didn’t look up for it as much as the fans. Makes last Sunday’s celebration even more embarrassing.
5.) 14 Apr 2024 15:42:21
The players lack character, too many don't have what it takes to be Rangers players and Lundstram doesn't merit a new contract.
So easy to be critical of Sima but he can't win games on his own and Silva isn't what we need.
The players signed over the past few seasons simply are not close to being good enough. They lack just about everything needed to be a Rangers player.
A lot of this rests with the previous Board and our incompetent DoF and Chief Scout however these guys along with Parks have now gone so no more excuses.
We have a new Chairman, a new CEO and a new Management Team.
The Board now needs to show total support for Clement by giving him the funds required to put a quality team on the park.
We need a totally new defence, (Yilmaz and Butland excepted) . We need to replace Lundstramand we need to see an upgrade on quality for many other midfield positions and we need a striker that can score goals.
Above all, we need Rangers minded players winners and leaders, something we don't currently have.
6.) 14 Apr 2024 15:50:49
We are not Clueless nor do the players not care. We were just out muscled today. Shouldn't happen but you just play football against 22 players giving it maximum. Their cup final. Having said that. our defence is liability and we should actually brush these teams aside. Gutted!
7.) 14 Apr 2024 16:07:49
Orange Tinted, Shankland for a start, Barron from Aberdeen, Armstrong at Killie, who says they need to be £multi-million foreign players. PC must know a decent CB who wouldn't cost the earth either, and as I said in another post, Devine back from Motherwell and play the lad, he never let us down when needed, so that's some players who wouldn't have bottled this afternoon.
10 Apr 2024 16:19:21
BBC Page now saying the game to be played next Wednesday, this will totally screw up our preparation for the Cup Semi-Final against Hearts. We as a Club cannot sit back any further and let this SPFL farce make fun of us any longer.
1.) 10 Apr 2024 17:01:17
If that was the other mob menty be playing dundee they'd be thousands of them outside sfa offices rite now it corupt.
2.) 10 Apr 2024 17:45:08
Totally unfair and unsporting, the other 3 gt a clear week n we gt fecked, SPFL and who's in charge are a liability.
3.) 10 Apr 2024 17:49:47
This really is a farce if they can’t play a game on their own pitch for the 2nd time against us then they should either come to Ibrox and play the game or forfeit the 3 points. The powers thaf be couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. absoultely ridiculous.
4.) 10 Apr 2024 17:59:57
we should not be concerened about playing dundee then hearts in the same week the SFA did not create the weather either Glasgow Rangers are surely bigger than this.
5.) 10 Apr 2024 18:27:09
Statement issued by the club but you know it won't make any difference to the outcome. Big a***d McLennan hates us and will ensure the most awkward arrangement possible for us, which is a midweek game on the 17th while the other 3 clubs enjoy a full week to prepare for the cup semis. Total shambles and only here would this happen.
6.) 10 Apr 2024 19:43:29
The game should have been played last week but for some unknown reason it wasn’t then you would have all been moaning about that
Let’s just get on with it and win the 3 games.
7.) 10 Apr 2024 20:18:18
Can you imagine if this is called of for a 3rd time.
8.) 10 Apr 2024 20:33:08
Well said 2020.
9.) 10 Apr 2024 20:46:24
Absolute disgrace of a situation. There should have been a neutral ground ready to play this game tonight, Easter Road most likely even if it would be behind closed doors. More than enough time for both teams to travel knowing that this was always likely to be the outcome with Dens park. There must be sanctions for Dundee. What if it’s cancelled again next week?! Imagine if we were still in Europe as well. Farce.
10.) 10 Apr 2024 21:42:19
Amato89, please explain how a football match getting called off by bad weather is corrupt? Did whoever is corrupt, call on the weather to rain for days solid, for it to get called off? We haven't been good enough since we came back up, people shouting about corruption, are most likely looking for excuses, for failure.
11.) 11 Apr 2024 08:04:04
Amato the sfa don't schedule spfl games.
12.) 11 Apr 2024 15:42:01
No 2020, You're correct The SFA/ SPFL did not cause the bad weather, but, they are 100% culpable for this farcical situation.
07 Apr 2024 16:24:40
Well, now that my heart rate is back to normal, that was some game today, I honestly thought the game was over at half time, but what a comeback, especially after losing a 3rd goal so soon after leveling.
Silva needs to stop making a fool of himself with his diving, although there was contact for our penalty. Guys, I thought Sima, Matonda and Dowell were excellent for us when they cam on, I would keep all 3 TBH, Dessers was a nuisance to their defence all game. On to Goldson, a definite bomb scare in my opinion, and I've been supportive of him, we need a better CB in the Summer. Happy though to get something from the game overall, on to Wednesday, and hopefully top of the league thereafter.
1.) 07 Apr 2024 16:32:31
Silva was a disgrace today, wright and butland also honkin.
2.) 07 Apr 2024 16:43:15
Poor tbh, Dowell jogging back for their 3rd not acceptable, especially from a player that had just been brought on and should have been full of energy.
3 sloppy goals to give away and agree that Goldson is no longer good enough, and it’s not just this game. It’s been all season.
It’s wonder if PC taking him off just before the end was confirmation of that?
3.) 07 apr 2024 17:19:50
never thought it was over irv, but i was very upset by tav and goldsons performance,
4.) 07 Apr 2024 17:31:03
Butland for me was put under unnecessary pressure the full 1st half was a back 4 who seemed to have met for the first time 2 minutes before kick off.
He kept us in it first half but was disappointed with him for the 3rd.
5.) 07 Apr 2024 17:35:42
Hi Paul, I wouldn't say Butland was honking, he made at least 2 great saves to keep us in the game, I would say his distribution was questionable today, and I felt he could have done better at their 3rd goal.
6.) 07 Apr 2024 17:41:27
TT - Goldson should be top of list to be replaced next season!
7.) 07 Apr 2024 17:58:55
Portger horrendous with ball at his feet. Caught off guard freak 1st goal and sold 3rd goal. Yeah playwd well.
8.) 07 Apr 2024 18:31:46
Zikos, said the same in a post further down re Dowell not chasing back, not sure if he could have got there, but should be busting a gut to try at least. Thought he was decent other than that.
9.) 07 Apr 2024 20:01:54
Paul how was he honking? He kept us in it if it wasn’t for him it would have been 4/ 5 at HT clueless.
10.) 07 Apr 2024 20:08:53
Agree bb, I don’t think he would have got in there to block the pass but bursting a gut and putting pressure on Bernardo would have made it more difficult to make the pass. What eventually happened was he had plenty of time and freedom to pick out Idah.
07 Apr 2024 11:05:17
Just seen the two teams, Wright is a bit of a surprise, but, I trust our Manager, he knows better than any of us, come on boys, let's do it. I'm not surprised that McGregor is not playing for them at the start today, he had a long lay off, but, it's all about how we perform.
1.) 07 Apr 2024 11:19:48
Surprised Roofe not on the bench. He has scored some really important goals when we really need them.
2.) 07 Apr 2024 11:30:58
Wright isn't really a surprise. I'm glad we've played Sterling at Lb. Where is Raskin and Roofe?
Big day for Dessers!
15 Mar 2024 23:04:39
RTG, I saw that also on Facebook, if it happens it happens, we get some money in and move on, I'm sure PC will have his finger on the pulse, not much gets past him.
27 Apr 2024 07:59:54
SWS, what's your reasoning by saying Tavernier will definitely play against them, he doesn't perform against Maeda, and I don't see him succeeding in that one either, PC has to really think hard when that game comes around that's for sure, it's a potential £60 Million game.
27 Apr 2024 07:56:29
My opinion is that we are stale in certain positions that have long term incumbents in them, if we want to be a better team, we have to change, and more important get some money to go towards any replacements. Although there is criticism of Tav, Goldson and Lundstrum, there is also a bit of trepidation in a lot of comments that we will struggle to replace them, if that's the case, we'll just keep failing long term, just my opinion folks. If Clement wants to keep all 3, I'd be gobsmacked, and I think eventually they would cost him his job at Rangers.
21 Apr 2024 18:36:40
I must have missed something, didn't we win comfortably today against the 3rd placed team while the magnificos from the East End beat the 3rd bottom team on penalties, and the 3rd bottom team were robbed, just saying like.
21 Apr 2024 11:48:23
He is using Bully Boy tactics with his comments, does he have the balls to give Tav and Goldson the same threats, I don't think so, therein lies the problem, man or mouse, WS would've leathered the lot of them, of that I'm sure.
21 Apr 2024 11:45:30
I think a lot of people are assuming Celtic are better than they actually are, they were anointed yesterday, got away with 2 stonewall penalties, and got an equaliser that was a clear foul by Kyogo on the Aberdeen player in the lead up to the goal. The agenda is obvious, if I was a Rangers player or Manager, my anger would force me to ram it right up them all in every game in Scotland. Come on Gers, get stuck in today and all of the remaining games, no prisoners from now on.
