If we finish 2nd in the league this year, less than 10 points behind Celtic, would this be considered a good season for us? It would bring European football, for a while anyway, and some more revenue. A Scottish Cup win would be the icing on the cake. We've still only lost twice in the league so far and it is the silly draws that have cost us 10 points. Thoughts anyone?

We're effectively 14 points behind Celtic after 1/ 3rd of the season and that gap will only increase as we continue our learning process. If the more recent signings can adapt to the fans huge expectations of beating teams like Ross County, then maybe we have a chance of finishing 2nd. I read the fans expect too much, we have unrealistic expectations, are too demanding. Are we really? But yeah 2nd would be good.

Doiger if (and it is if at the moment) we can stop losing soft goals, overcome our chronic inability to put away decent chances and be much more consistent (simple as that, eh! ) then 2nd should be more than possible as our rivals are hardly any more consistent than us. Being less than 10 behind them and a Cup win, I would take that from where we are now. A good season if we do that? Matter of opinion of course but better than I expect right now.

I think acceptable rather than good!

Yes it’s a huge success, we were on the brink of vanishing in darker times, now we are becoming a force to be reckoned with again. Got to be patient, we have paid for our mistakes, some good luck is on the way. Heard a rumor Redbull or an Oil guy want to buy us, who knows we can but dream.

My main worry is when we come second, how many rounds do we need to qualify to get into the Europa League? We badly need money from that and I can't see us winning 3 double headers against experienced Europa Cup teams? Also will we be seeded?

14 Nov 2016 10:21:29
doubt we will be seeded and i'm sure its all the round we must play . I hope and believe that we will finish second .

an oil guy? any names on that one BBG?
red bull won't buy us we don't make a lot of money but I think they could be our sponsors, which is still a good thing for us.
if they want i'd let them name the stadium red bull stadium and hope that we make some more out of them.
I've heard nothing about an "oil guy" though but would welcome the investment as long as there is enough of it.

Kfraser, yes we are too demanding. after where we have been I will take European football next year, finishing 3rd behind an Aberdeen side that has been building itself since we have been gone isn't bad at all. if we finish 2nd it will be a great achievement. The main thing we need is European football, and we need to make sure we get into the group stages.

20 points from a possible 36. We can't beat Hamilton, St Johnstone, Ross County. Players are the 2nd highest paid in Scotland. Let's be honest here Rangers are one step forward, 2 behind. Warburton must go in January.

2nd would be brilliant - don't care abut the gap YET
3rd more realistic, but we must start putting teams away.

14 Nov 2016 16:31:49
Why is third more realistic? Celtic are better than us but we have by far the best squad of what's left!

15 Nov 2016 09:00:26
European football next season must be our aim i think 2nd place was always our aim to win the league this season was too much too soon . let's get 2nd place and regroup in the summer and buy well in transfer market and challenge next season.

Find myself in total agreement with Liverpool Ger here once again. For our first season back up it was always going to be about acclimatising to a much higher level, to what we've been used to over the last 4 years, on our rise back up through the leagues. As a rangers supporter and season ticket holder of over 40 years now, i always have expected rangers to be the best club in scotland, but i have made allowances for this year as most of us do realise it's going to take time, there's NO magic on off button here, as a small minority of our supporters seem to think! I personally would except a top 3 finish for this season, in the hope we can get a wee bit more finance coming into our club, and therefore kick on next season to hopefully bridge the gap between us and celtic. I as rangers supporter would expect us to be really challenging them, for the league title, within 3 years. that's my take on where we've been and given the management a wee bit of time, where we need to be!
