If only we could turn the clock back 6 months. McInnes was the correct candidate and he was overlooked for pc. Unfortunately the directors made the wrong call. Results at end of last season especially old firm games coupled with the european results and hibs game back this up. Three of pcs signings (herrera pena and dalcio) don't look suited to scottish football. Dalcio especially looks out his depth and a waste of a wage. i hope i am wrong and pc is a success but as time passes by this is looking less likely. Expect lots to disagree but i'm afraid these are the hard facts

Stevie lasts season results count for nothing. It was a team full of bread mans players. Need to remember we went up to Aberdeen and humped them and taken 6 of Hamilton, there was a few decent results in there! Damage was done by the time PC came in.
Don't really recall to many folk giving PC credit when we had decent results. McCinnes has done nothing as a manager! His team lost 3 cup finals last year and don't forget he had a crack at England with Bristol and got them relegated. Rangers job is far to soon for him!
Granted Hibs game wasn't ideal but we were bossing it until the sending off. Need to disagree with the signings, Herrera looks a handful (target man type) and Dalcio will take time. Pena hasn't even kicked a ball yet so don't know how you can say de doesn't look suited to our game. What about the other signing that look good?! Alves? Cardoso? Jack? Candeias? Dorrans? Morelos? Don't see many folk dishing out praise for bringing these guys to our club.

Remember we are only a few weeks in to the season!
Rome wasn't built in a day and I have no doubt we will mount a challenge this year! It's about time folk backed out club and stopped bumping their gums about the gaffer.

I agree that Dalcio doesn't look up to standard but he's a loan signing so it doesn't really count. herera looks a good player from what iv seen and once we get going he will be an asset as does morelos.

how you can say anything about pena is a mystery because he's hardly played.

Jury is still out for me on PC also but I think that we had to think outside the norm for the appointment. Would mcinnes have got us Alves, Cardosa and candias? probably not.

He would be shopping in the same market as we were last year, lower leagues in England where there's hardly any value.

bigandy, we've hardly got a right to say anything about Pena because he hasn't played? We've got every right because we paid so much money for a player who's hardly played! So he arrived unfit, he needs time to settle in, the culture shock is too great and what about the expectations of the fans? Pay the Mexican club the asking rate but don't give Hearts and Aberdeen their valuations of Walker and McLean, players we know will make a difference. We had 'in Warbs we trust' last season and now getting the Pedro version of the same. Trust is earned, not given.

If we are still in the same position come November then I will start to think what if, but right now we are still a new team trying to gel together. I don't need to give you a list of players who took time to settle in and turned out to be outstanding players for Rangers.

I have faith in what Pedro is trying to do, you cannot judge a manager on a handful of competitive games. Ally McCoist looked like he had the title won after a few months at the helm and look how that turned out. Also Dalcio needs games to have any chance of showing us what he can do, we all had Windass out the door a few weeks ago but look at him now.

On another note: I would be tempted to drop Jack for Rossiter, from the little I seen of Rossiter last season he looked like he could be something special. Jack has done nothing wrong since joining but Rossiter playing at his full potential beats Jack for me. (bring on the clicks of the disagreee button :-) )

I have noticed over the past weeks a bit of an over reaction to the start of the season. Rangers are two games in and already a select few are hitting the panic button. We were down to 10 men last week and so bound to struggle against a team like Hibs. You only have to look at Chelsea who also struggled against Burnley with two players dismissed. If you expect Rangers to win every game and not concede a single goal then you are living in la la land. Please be a bit more positive and if we are struggling after Christmas then yes complain.

Stevie, they are not hard facts! They are your opinion

17 Aug 2017 18:18:27
Other than the European disaster that came when we had 50/ 50 of Warbs and Caixinhas squad I have been impressed this season. We followed up a credible and deserved draw with Marseille with away wins to Premiership Watford and Wednesday 1 of Championships better sides with a good away win at Motherwell and a thrashing of Dunfermline who won on penalties V Hearts at Tynecastle before beating Inverness after they played us.
Until the red card we were the better side against a decent Hibs side, we had the best chances and had the ref done his job we would have hammered them with 10 men. I'm sure we will beat Hearts and continue to improve.
The bulk of his signings are already playing well and Pena hasn't kicked a ball really so can hardly be fairly judged and is now on individual training regime to get him up to speed, Dalcio is a loan player for cover and again hasn't played much and Herrara has played well as far as I'm concerned.
It's early to judge but all I will say is I feel far more confident of scoring goals and creating chances now and more confident defending corners so let's wait and see how we do true blues

17 Aug 2017 18:22:51
Rossiter done absolutely zero last year to look like he could be special! Jack has probably been our best player so far.

17 Aug 2017 21:05:48
I would play Jack at right back, put Rossiter in as the defensive midfielder and put Tav in right midfield. Jack is defensively minded and can read the game. Rossiter, if fit, is the best we have in that position and Tav is much better attacking than defending. Thoughts?

Great post theglasgowranger, I'd agree with every word of that

18 Aug 2017 05:01:31
Pretty sure when he was linked in the press he said he wasn't interested anyway? Obviously he is the Aberdeen manager and maybe obliged to say that but I don't think he fancied the rebuilding job and probably knowing unless you win the league your not a successful rangers manager.

way to give the team time stevie! what an idiot pena dalcio and haven't really had much of a shout as yet and i will agree herera was a mistake his track record speaks for itself
