I know we need to be realistic with our goals this season but our current form, extending back to the latter stages of last season, is unacceptable.
A lot of people saying we've just come up and we need to adapt to a higher standard, which would be fine if we didn't have a budget that dwarfs anyone except Celtic's.
Given the wages our players will be on and, if what I'm lead to believe is true, the signing on fees some players have picked up, then we should expect to be performing to a much higher standard.

I've followed gers from the 60s and I know we've never been liked but there is an unhealthy hate of rangers out there . Even the clubs with snide remarks on websites and club programes I'm up for a bit of banter but it's getting serious now . Players getting attacked team bus getting smashed up think maybe time to boycott away games.
27 Sep 2016 10:38:21
I would say with the recent bad exposure of our fans with toilets and seats you might find other clubs would welcome a boycott.
27 Sep 2016 11:31:09
Aye cause that's a way of making loads of new pals. What about possibly stop trashing away grounds you go to? Would be a good start.
27 Sep 2016 11:40:45
Boycotting away games does not help the team, but agree
something has to be done regarding the morons who call themselves fans (ALL CLUBS ) .
Courts have to come down harder on them .
27 Sep 2016 11:42:57
Johnny g I agree there's an element in our support that need looked at as well but Celtic games whether we like it or not something will happen the broomloan rd end will have very little seats left after Hogmanay its not rite but that's how it is with the ones who are put to cause damage but it's spreading through Scottish game this hatred of gers from fans and clubs it's just my opinion.
27 Sep 2016 11:51:46
Johnny G they already do boycott away games biggest crowd we've had at Ibrox this season was queen of the south.
27 Sep 2016 12:28:12
a celtic fan giving it big kicks about trashing away grounds haha! do you not remember the state you left fir park in? what about the Amsterdam arena? didn't see that in the daily rebel.
Aberdeen fans should count themselves lucky after what they did to the team bus although the disgusting vandals will be caught as all park buses have cctv:)
27 Sep 2016 12:34:18
I've also been following Rangers since the 60's, and toilets getting trashed, buses and playersbeing attacked is unfortunately nothing new. Ibrox and Parkhead don't make a big deal about it because it happens on both sides& both pick up the costs (£50 a ticket? )
Agreed the morons who get up to this sh1te, need to find a new hobby, half of them don't even know why they do it - they run in packs and and go and give the rest of us a chance to support the team in a proper very noisy manner.
27 Sep 2016 13:01:45
Cee it is exactly your not us it's them attitude that is the problem.
Let's get our own house in order, rather than only paying attention to what's done to us.
The racist and sectarian singing that a significant section of our support continue to engage in does nothing to help our club.
Smashing up toilets does nothing to help our club.
Throwing chairs at opposing fans does nothing to help our club.
Our fans joining a pitch invasion to fight does nothing to help the club.
Perhaps we would have the moral high ground if we dealt with our own idiots.
The club itself has released several statements in last year that rightly condemn bad behaviour by other clubs but wrongly completely ignore our own fans shameful behaviour.
27 Sep 2016 13:34:07
Totally agree mate there's only so much of gelling the team together patter that I can listen to, I do understand we have came up a division but most of our starting 11 were playing for us last season and should be up to speed on how it works now.
I still think our problems are coming from the 4-3-3 system we are playing in this top league it's so easy for other teams to counter it and our usual 60min subs, we are so predictable to other teams, warburton must adapt his style or I fear it will cost him his job in the end, and before I get pelters I actually like warburton and hope he does turn us round, but I feel he is going to stick to his guns.
27 Sep 2016 13:37:24
Jaws exactly mate, I've been calling for boycotts since the middle of last season mate, let's see how much they miss the blue pound, some of the songs (from our lot as well) are way over the top, when asked for en explanation they say its only banter.
I've even told my daughter not to take her daughter, my grandaughter, as the wane was starting to ask for explanations of some songs, and i don't want the wanes head poisoned.
27 Sep 2016 15:20:29
Jaws i agree fans from all clubs need to be brought to task for what they do and sing. my point is people on this page playing the victim card in one post and then stating everybody hates us we don't care or in the next like a badge of honour. and love the fact we are Rangers we sing what we want. we do what we want but don't dare do it to us.
27 Sep 2016 15:01:15
Jaws, you bring it all on yourselves. Since your club has entered the top flight it has brought nothing but negativity and destruction to other club's grounds. SPL clubs don't have the money to waste on unnecessary repairs caused by your thugs and your club clearly has no intention of picking up the tab.
27 Sep 2016 15:02:36
No one likes us because we are the mighty Rangers and we dominated Scottish football in the 90s. Still fresh in their memories. No other clubs or their fans got a sniff. Just pure and blatant jealousy. And it won't be long until we are dominating again. So enjoy you're tainted league success while you can :)
27 Sep 2016 16:51:35
New bhoy, The whole league are fecking hypocrits. sing we are not rangers anymore but are fighting for the blue dollar. you don't like the gers but want everything that comes with us. full houses and money.
The top league fecking hypocrits. You cannot have 1 without other. Your all only here to see the gers. And for all the so called Rangers fans on here not all may i say but most. we DO need time. we have every nomad in english football who are still bedding and will take time and as for kicking our manager is shamefull and i'm ashamed at times ti say i'm a rangers fan.
Reallity check 5 years gone but we are back with a new team manager and owners. get off there back and start showing your support or go support your local team. sick to the back teeth with it all.
27 Sep 2016 16:58:56
On this issue I would like to make the point that our fans are going to cost our club money we can't afford to pay. No doubt both Aberdeen and Celtic will be billing us for these damages.
27 Sep 2016 18:19:19
Johnny g didn't mean our supporters haven't got a bad element in them . I don't agree with what some of them sing but just felt that it seems to be getting toxic from other clubs since we are back now mate.
27 Sep 2016 18:37:37
No BossHogg. That's not how it works. Been happening for decades from all supporters. Clubs deal with it internally. You're beginning to sound like a broken down record. Drop it.
27 Sep 2016 19:32:32
Frankly, the problem does not lie with Rangers or Celtic, the problem lies with the way Scotland's education system is structured. If Children were all educated together rather than the lunatic and costly system of segregation that operates from age 4 to age 18 then there would be a lot less sectarian related problems in Scotland.
In terms of the hatred spreading it pretty much runs in line with the spread of Republican Nationalism that is haunting Scotland these days. That unfortunately is a more difficult evil to remove.
27 Sep 2016 19:19:17
there is no place in the age we live in now for damage to stadiums or buses years ago the arrests at oldfirm games used to be in the hundreds and many more thrown out we are now living in a more tolerant society where different religions mix and should anyone see any acts of violence or vandalism should report what they have seen to the relevant authoritys.
27 Sep 2016 19:11:14
Just giving an opinion to why the fans of other teams don't like how things are at the moment, they feel they weren't listened to when the biggest decision was made and the SFA bent over backwards for your current team but certain sections of your support think that you were hard done by.
Just gets annoying that you feel there's a conspiracy against you when all you have had is more help than any other club in the leagues history.
27 Sep 2016 21:29:44
Rangersman1872, i agree and i'd go as far as too say i wish every club in the top league would bar all rangers supporters from visiting their grounds, problem solved.
28 Sep 2016 08:13:24
celtic fan talking about us and conspiracys jeess go ask Hugh Darlaston if his heads alright.
28 Sep 2016 19:41:03
Cee just noticed the agree / disagree to your comment
regarding the Hugh Dallas one, for anyone to disagree to
that shows how many sad timalloys are on our site!
So we are the only club with supporters that are badly
behaved ( unreal )
Every club worldwide has an element that will cause trouble, maybe cause we have the biggest support in Scotland we attract that bit more, which we ALL should try and stamp out .
