Honest opinion, if things don't dramatically improve next season then we could be in celtics shadow for a very long time and it pains me to say it. But one thing celtic supporters should be honest about is were it not for the terrible and despicable mis management of our great club, none of this would be the case.
Rangers are dreadful to say the least atm. Quite possibly the worst rangers side ever? But I also think we are watching the best celtic side I've ever seen. (Im 28 btw so can't remember anything before the late 80's) so there's hope that celtic can't possibly repeat this next season?
The whole club has lost its identity and unless things change soon I dread to think what will become of us. Bill struth will be turning in his grave at the state of our club. All the celtic supporters that come on here will have their opinion on me, but I am an honest man and rangers have a lot of work to do.
I'm a very sad supporter today and have never felt this low as a rangers fan tbh. Things can only get better (as the song goes) a solid second, a cup and a half decent run in Europe next season will be improvement. I can only hope.
It certainly can't get much worse. Rant over. Congratulations to celtic. You are far and away the best team. Albeit in a poor league.

Well said an honest summary of the current position. The vast majority of that team yesterday just don't get it how bad this feels and i'm not sure thay actually care. They are and have been a disgrace to the jersey and some on the bench even sit and smirk while we are being humiliated at home by our greatest rivals. Get rid of most of them they should be ashamed. Jock Wallace would have booted the two smirkers out the front door yesterday afternoon.

If you are 28 how do you remember the late 80s? 🤔

This celtic team isn't the best team ever. No where near as good as Martin O'Neil's best team. This is the worst spl rangers team though.

No chance of a European run next season in less mega dosh is invested and I don't mean 5 -10 million we need a whole new team no more freebies and 250,000 lower English crap

Growing up in the sixties with Celtic winning Championship one after another was tough .
It will get better again maybe not soon but it will. Meantime baton down the hatches.

Oneils team was much better than the present team plus they were up against good Rangers players i. e, Fergoson, Deboer, Mols, Caniggia etc. no doubt this Selik team are good but we are horrendous and that's me puting it mildly. i also don't think throwing millions at it either is the answer, yes we need 5 good players at least but Selik only had Sinclair in the team yesterday that wasnt there last yr yet everyone of them looks fresher, fitter, stronger than us and to me that's just down to good management/ coaching.

Just been looking at the league tables. We are only 6 points clear of st johnstone with 4 games left. We have to play Dons, saints, thistle and hearts. The way we played yesterday i wouldn't put money on beating any one of them. We desperatley need europe next season.

Boaz don't base anything on the Celtic result. Pedro has got his tactics so wrong against Celtic yet again. He wants to attack and against Hearts, St Johnson etc it will work 8 times out of 10. When it gets to Celtic the players lack of ability and that's what it is gets shown up. The only way Rangers could have played was to try and shut up shop and nick one off a set piece. Instead he took Celtic on and it could have been 7 or 8 never mind 5. Its going to be like that for years as Rangers have a better chance of going bust than they have of King and co giving Pedro £10mill to spend in the summer. With the gulf in class and no money to spend how many season tickets will get sold, so its less revenue next year. With the current squad Rangers may find it difficult to qualify for Europa place so its not looking too good. The Celtic result is just the start of the pain

Martin oneills celtic team got results, but is the only celtic side in history who played horrible defensive ugly football.

Disagree with some of these posts.
Yes we need investment, but it's more important we get the right players in regardless of price. Players need to be more tactically aware, Pedro has not had enough time to undo the system that Warburton installed.
So many individual mistakes from players who are not following the managers tactics.
So as much as we are hurting, we need to give Pedro time to get things running his way. Time as they say, heals all wounds

Not that i'm sticking up for them but i think that's doing them a disservice. they had cracking players and as much as i hate to say, they had some great performances in the CL at home

Winning 10 in a row only gives the bragging rights over your foes across the city. In dosent make you a great team. To the rest of the world it makes your league look kiernan.

In the late 1960's when Celtic had the best team in Europe, Rangers were very close behind. Under the Souness revolution when we dominated Scottish Football, Celtic were a decent side and there were other good sides such as Aberdeen and Dundee United. At this moment in time Celtic are out of sight. Aberdeen is there nearest challengers and they are a million miles away. We are so far out of sight that it is frightening.
Other than the 38 year old Kenny Miller there is not one player in the current team that merits being at Rangers. We might be lucky and see a fully fit Rossiter and Krancjar next season but I doubt it. We have two full backs, great going forward but woeful defending, we need full backs that can do both. We need two quality centre backs. Basically we need a new team!
Just to add to our problems we currently have an absentee landlord as our Chairman. A guy that only turns up when he wants a boycott or wants new season ticket sales. He has no strategy for the future and doesn't't even have a strategy for the present. Up till now he has had financial support from good honest Rangers men but these guys are not strategists and they can't keep bailing out King for ever. Either King needs to prove tat he is willing to put in serious money or give his shares to someone that will do this.

O'Neills team would have horsed the current team. As would the 2008 Rangers team assembled by Walter Smith. Yesterday the manager got it horribly wrong. We were overrun in midfield. Murty got the tactics spot on at their place and could have come away with three points tbh
