Read a lot about the other half having training behind closed doors this week and wee grif not fit but it's all smoke and mirrors he will start on Saturday I hope we still train and keep our focus on playing our own game.

Have been reading a lot over the past few days. Every rangers blogger/ poster talks about rangers and the strategy which needs to be used etc. Every celtic/ rest of spfl blogger seems to be talking about. rangers. Seems a little strange that every1 is interested in rangers which surely means we are doing alright. Tired of all the down playing of what rangers have achieved so far. Yes we want out performances to be a little sleeker but we r still second in the league. If we stay there the rest of the season, a will be happy.

Four games. No defeats. No genuine fast direct midfielder, which is a must for the way we play.

Holt and Windass returning changes our entire fortune in creating chances and taking them.

We've started all four games with at least two holding midfielders which is absolutely no help at all, completely destroys our creativity.

Windass and Holt are going to make a massive difference.



08 Sep 2016 20:46:49
Holt has been mist with his directness
Windass looks a great buy he's like a wasp on the park and I've heard garner is aswell
We all have different opinions on who should start where and how we should play
The good thing is we have choices and players that will improve
The other half don't impress me defensively and if griff is not playing we should out score them
I think our players passion will shine threw on sat plus the fact everyone bar Rangers fans have wrote us off will inspire us to get right in about them
#55 BUZZIN 1 sleep and an all nighter to go.

Absolutely agree about Windass he needs to be one of the midfield 3. Direct running committing defenders and creating space.
Barton Rossiter Windass
Would be my midfield.
Waggy Garner Nico
My front 3.



09 Sep 2016 10:08:12
Halliday Barton (just ahead of Rossiter due to experience) Toss up between the energy of Windass and the quality of Kranjcar 1 starting the other coming on after 60 mins.
McKay Miller o'Halloran just for sheer pace in behind.
Although leaving Forrester out would be unfair.
I think he will play Halliday Barton Forrester in middle, McKay Miller Waghorn up top but if Holt is ready he will get nod ahead of Forrester who would then replace Wags.
Exciting squad we have and we will win 3-1 Miller to score anytime 🔴⚪️🔵.



09 Sep 2016 10:49:15
Forester started three out of the first four games and his assist was nothing short of magic for the Waghorn goal against Hamilton when he came on.

His goal against Dundee was outstanding and no one else on the field could have scored in that way.

He scored against Motherwell.

And against Kilmarnock every player found it difficult to be at their best.

He is not being left out. Imagine it'd be a midfield three of Halliday-Barton-Forrester.

Up front, McKay is starting, guaranteed, as is Miller. The right flank will likely be a choice between MOH, Waghorn and Forrester (Windass replacing him in the centre of the park) .

Defence bound to be Keirnan and Senderos. Didn't seem sure the press conference that Wilson would be ready.

It is a nice change to be talking about who plays and who is left out rather than the situation that we have seen in the past where we were lucky to field eleven players and in the McCoist Era where there were no more than one or two that were fit to wear the jersey.

This will show Warburton and Co's skill as managers and coaches since the team will need to vary depending on the opposition and who is fit and who isn't. He might want to play an additional defensive player to cover the back four, (in the way that did with Ball) . Only time will tell.

One thing is for sure, this won't be a game for the fainthearted and the referee will need to be as committed to handling the occasion as the players are at giving it 100%.

I wouldn't dare guess the team! I suspect that for this game Halliday will play, Rossiter will be on the bench, but how attack minded will we be? I don't believe that we can be anything else.

Leagues over fellow bears kept sayib this from day bloody one o'halloran can't get game for sum or wotever reason wich is beyond believe n his pace would have helped big time against celtic. And if this rob keirnan keeps playin thn we have huge major problems warburton to me does not have a clue.



10 Sep 2016 16:15:46
Rangers haven't kicked a ball since semi Final last season FACT
Rob Keirnan is murder FACT
We won't win the title this year FACT.



10 Sep 2016 21:00:15
Agree Barry but plus point must be the performance of Windass. He looks like a great find.



11 Sep 2016 00:44:19
This is an example of be careful what you wish for. we became paranoid about Wilson and Kiernan after we fell away last 6 games of the Season including Cup Final. reality is before that our defensive record was best in league by a mile. and both were terrific in Semi v Celtic. our whole team was fkd at end of last season due to thinness of squad. kiernan was poor today but the abuse he's been suffering is getting to him. Hill Kranjkar and Barton are massive failures.3 over the hill stars. and senderos the latest has been. i'd play wilson n kiernan with crooks in Dom Ball role. holt must come back in asap. only midfielder we have who runs into the box. i'd release hill kranjcar n barton at xmas.



11 Sep 2016 02:09:46
Windass, holt and rossiter every day of week that the 3 end of forrester is another starter the rest of places are up for grabs.



11 Sep 2016 12:46:07
Absolute pure gutted gers fans that was ah hammerin simple as that do i think we can get revenge at ibrox yes but we could be behind still in the league, kiernan has to be dropped n that's that i feel sorry on him but he's had chances, why is ohalloran not getting game is absolute beyond this planet totall joke the fastest player in scotland and we are ruinin the boys career.



11 Sep 2016 14:40:39
dont know if this is the wake up call we need or we should have had at the end of last season?
just shows how far away we really are.

and barrymiddleton i was thinking the same about o'halloran. the guy is either not doing it in training (which i doubt) or warburton/ weir don't rate him as a player?

think a rejig of players and try a new system might be good

the boy on loan from raith might have to get a game now senderos and keirnan are out.



{Ed039's Note - MOH simple passing is poor and I think this is why he doesn't get a game)

12 Sep 2016 07:45:58
Passing is not his game Ed. he beats men to the byline and runs on to the long ball over the top, with his sheer electric pace. i'd give him a shot up front through the middle. convert him like Cannigia and Lovenkrands. he can't be any worse than what we've got. Miller can't go on forever waggy is becoming injury prone. mackay has been awful this season. his miss at 2-1 changed the whole game and probs the whole season.



{Ed039's Note - I know passing is not his game and that is the point I am trying to make, MW tactics are all possession based and when a player loses simple possession of the ball then it goes against him, I agree with everything you say and I would like to see him play also but we don't pick them team and there are reasons he is not playing and I believe this to be the reason)

12 Sep 2016 11:10:17
I don't think Warburton knows how to use pace in his team. To chase O'Halloran for weeks and then only give him 3 first team starts is a mystery. We are ponderous in build up play, Saturdays team selection was a disaster. Everyone except Warbs knew game would pass Kranjcar by, Miller gives effort but wanders all over the pitch so team loses shape. To drop Halliday was a mystery.



12 Sep 2016 12:53:18
Ed michael o'halloran would be in my team every week garunteed this is the same guy tht ripped n tore us apart it ibrox in the cup now we let him rot for what he's only 25 he was the perfect player to play against the tims with tht blisterin pace to get behing tht dodgy celtic back 4 instead we play kenny miller out wide was never going to hurt there defence never in million years, and if warburton doesn't go back to the hh halliday and holt partnership wich was so effective last season then were going to be run over in midfield he has to stop this wanna be Barcelona 433 formation were playin in the spl not la liga for christ sake go back to the walter smith tactics again or somthin were we at least dominated and suffocate the hell out of teams.



{Ed039's Note - I agree with everything you are saying mate but the gaffer obviously has his own ideas, I for one can not wait for Jason Holt to return, such a busy little player with a touch of quality)
