Imo I think what Martin O'Neil said about this Rangers team is spot on! This is the poorest Rangers team possibly ever. Full of rejects and injury prone duds these guys would not have got on our bench in past teams but now our squad is filled with them. Also football has changed its all about being hard to break down defensively then being clinical on the counter that should be our new mantra not pass the ball to death and not win games!

O'Neill's no fool. This team would lose out to Ally's who at the very least were prepared to put in tackles and take the knocks.

Be realistic, poor as we are, we are better than when McCoist was in charge. He couldn't win the championship.

Cuillin72 - would love to agree with you, but in the last few months we have went backwards - -other teams are licking their lips at the thought of 'having a go' at this bunch of duds. I think Ally's lot, bad though they were, would have fancied their chances.

O'Neill is correct in what he says. McCoist's teams lacked coaching and management but against premier league opposition I suspect they would have shown more fight and more guile than the current bunch. We are seriously in need of at least four top class players, with that level of skill in the team we might see better performances from some of the others. Much as I liked Warburton's passing style he really turned our team into a bunch of 'softies' with no aggression, no team spirit and no fight! He took away the mentality that is needed to play for rangers!

Warburton's Rangers at least knocked Celtic out of the Cup less than a year ago with a bit of panache too.
Does anybody remember the 'fight' in Rangers when we faced Celtic the year before?
Ok, Ally walked just beforehand as he didn't have the fight himself to take on Celtic and technically it was Kenny MacDowall's side but it was still Ally's players and I don't remember any fight, any shots at goal and Lee McCulloch laughing and joking with Scott Brown as they walked off the pitch at half time.
We are undoubtedly a much better team than we were then.

Complete nonsense about this team would lose out to mccoist. His team couldn't get out of the championship and got humiliated against motherwell in play offs. A decent tactical manager could get this team to 2nd easily.

Aye this team would have beaten Ally's team no problem. I think we have some good players throughout the squad. A few changes and additions and the right man in charge would make a helluva difference, I'm certain of it.
