A bit of an analysis from last nights game. I thought beerman did very very well. He's pacey, good on the ball and probably more of a winger, but acquitted himself well against the strength and experience of Sammon. Bates started slowly but built in to the game and clearly is quite quick for a CB as he seemed to fill in for Tab are RB when he went walkers as usual. Wilson was dominant vs Boyd and helped our Bates well. Midfield was woeful and we took of hyndman. Granted not his best half but easily the most creative midfield we have. McKay couldn't deliver a pizza, let alone a decent cross in to the box and that pretty much cost us the 3 points alongside having 3 strikers who couldn't score in a brothel. Waggie was dreadful, Garner is too aggressive and stupid at times and Miller was everywhere but the box. Without big Clint attacking the ball in the box our setpiece is a waste of time.

A decent and fair summary. I was disappointed to see Hyndman off at half time and think Pedro got that one wrong. Man Utd tried Rooney in midfield without success and now we've got to do the same with Miller. I wish we'd stop this playing certain players out of position purely because who they are and at the expense of a decent one whose position it is. Same old madness.

To be fair Kfraser, I thought Hyndman was having a quiet night, Miller came on and the link up play got a lot better.

Well done to the two youngsters.
On a more negative note, when was the last match that Barrie McKay looked anywhere near a six million pound player?
I'm certainly not going to make any real judgement of Pedro just yet but nothing he has did so far has impressed me although he seems like a very likeable guy at press conferences.

You can only use the players you have at your disposal and the signings made by Warburton are generally out of their depth. Not altogether Warburton's fault because if you are given pennies there is a limitation on the quality you can acquire. Four or five meaningful signings in the close season and we will be right up there but the question remains, where will the funding for this come from!
06 Apr 2017 11:43:59
Tomusa, we paid 1.5mil for Garner, Dodoo 250k, Rossiter 500k, Windass 65k, Crooks 65k, Alnwick 250k. We keep saying pennies or very little, it wasn't. Warburton had a reasonable budget and f***ed it. There was plenty of good players out of contract in the english championship we could have picked up and warburton didn't, he instead splashed the money on players (most of who work for the same agency is daughter works for) that are dreadful.

Thought it was one of the best I've seen from wilson. Looked better last night probably as he needed to take some responabilty with young bates in beside him, something he rarely does.

TOMUSA, EE o me that Aberdeen have done much better in the transfer market in recent years than we have. on the basis that you think we haven't spent enough you must have inside knowledge that Aberdeen have invested significantly more than us?
I would have thought its reflects more on the people making the decision on who to buy. Warburton in our case

Why does joe garner get so many crazy bookings. Is it down to frustration because of lack of service from midfield or does he just fancy a day off every now and again. The tackle on the killie player last nite I mean what was he thinking off.
06 Apr 2017 15:50:04
To be fair, if you were Garner wouldn't you do the same? you are a poacher, nothing less nothing more, and you NEVER get service.

sorry mate i didn't see one player in the rangers top have a good game they where all mince and should be ashamed of themselves as they let the club down yet again good riddance to whoever leaves the club.
last night was the worst game of football I've watched in a while we played better than that when we got beat 5-1 aff the manky mob

Hyndman, did have a quiet game but he was still more effective than Halliday who should have been brought off instead and to think he was the Captain last night 😰.
06 Apr 2017 20:49:54
Halliday should be no where near a Rangers jersey, all he does is talk about how he loves the club and then when he goes on the park he is about as useless as a chocolate teapot!
06 Apr 2017 20:40:46
Tomusa there were more than 2,000 Uefa registered players out of contract last summer. If you drew names out of a hat you would have probably come up with ten better players than the dross Warburton brought to our club. Then of course he spent £3m on players, upped the wage bill by £2m and probably another £2m on agents' fees (aka his daughter's bank account) and signing on fees. His contribution to our club was 100% negative.
06 Apr 2017 20:40:20
Garner has done ok last couple of games but he is not the answer. In fact I think he has a screw loose. Some of the challenges he made last night were just daft.
06 Apr 2017 22:30:43
I thought the two youngsters where solid last night and these are two guys that hasn't had praise like wee burt has had so I'm expecting burt to be named in one of pc line ups as he could be a wee gem of a find for next season I hope he has taken notes from recent games to get rid of deadwood but also hope he sees something in most of the guys we have like windass and dodoo etc. These guys have a big future in football just hope they stay around so we see it hope rossiter gets fit too and honestly rangers we all know we are in need of a new back 4 and a dm badly but I'm sure pc knows what he's doing you don't get jobs at the biggest teams on each continent for no reason

I actually thought as a team we played all right and dominated the match. I've seen better Rangers teams struggle there. We should have won the game. McKay was dreadful and has gone back into his shell as he did at start of season then Warbs left him out and when he returned he was brilliant.
That was a while ago and basically he is back to the standard that saw him loaned out to Raith Rovers. If we can get £1m for him sell him. Strikers let us down once again. Nobody seems to want to be a penalty box player even waghorn continues to operate wide and Garner should soften the aggression not loose it though but concentrate more on finding dcoring positions.
2nd place is gone but basically 3rd is as good in terms of Europe. Not much difference in prize money either. The young lads didn't look out if place and Wilson had his best game in a while. can't remember Wes having a real save to make and we should have had penalty.
