The comments on here and facebook are ridiculous. Questioning the manager and new players already. call yourselves Rangers fans and you’re on the backs of these people right away? Aye let’s bring another manager and 11 new players in so you can slate them after a poor game aswell ??.

The players need time to get up to full fitness and time to gel sadly we do t have that time to spare tho not in this league… and only areas we need to replace is the left back and left centre back areas….

It’s always going to happen especially having some
Time during pre season to try new ideas and get to know your team mates, today we needed a win and for me he picked the wrong team I won’t single out any player , everyone has an opinion and that today was a reminder of exactly why.

Im all the years I've watched the gers one thing that has been true on many a successful season, we have been slow starters. I believe in this team it just needs to gel. I believe in the gaffer.

Tonight was a screamer to watch, I back Beale and his players 100%. I know we shouldn’t compare but they lost their first game and look what happened. Beale has signed good players and I back his football brain. Tonight was a horror show but we go again wed and put today behind us.

I'll always go to every game and back the players and manager, however it would be dishonest of me to say that i'm not really concerned about what i watched today. I'm not buying the new players geling excuse either, Kilmarnock had 8 new players in that line-up today and they at least looked as if they had a gameplan. i'm not even sure what we are actually trying to achieve going forward at times, its either 5 passes between defenders then a floated ball over the top or a hopeful cross to no one at the first oppurtunity. We badly need to upgrade that defence or we won't be winning a single thing this season, Barisic still being there and not having a single left sided centre half (which cost us the goal imo) at this stage is ludicrous.

Exactly bornblue. It’s a disgrace and embarrassment. Total entitlement springs to mind.
If we scored 2 late goals all would be forgave. Get a grip man. Nobody is even commenting on each others stats everyone is just writing a rant of their own it’s not even good to come on and read it’s just pure angry over the top ranting.
Rally need to stop this before it streams down to the players and makes things worse.

wait what, are you saying we can’t be critical? If we say negative things we ain’t rangers fans? Lol what? If you play good you get praise if you play bad you get criticised, what’s the problem?

I agree up to a point but that performance was unacceptable. If we go out against servette then I want Beale gone.

I think going out the champions league will be a godsend. The Europa is out league.
What’s went wrong here today is if he won today and got knocked out champs league would be forgave if we got into Europa groups but losing today then IF we go out against serviette is going to put severe pressure in the gaffer.
We would get demolished in the champ league I don’t think we’re ready.

I don’t but Into the full fitness and time to gel. They’ve had a pre season and we paid money and decent wages etc. they are professional football players. How long do they have to get fit and gel? Another few weeks? Months? Cmon.

Of the new signings nothing Butland could have done as Souttar should have cleared that into row Z, Sima has potential and surprised me with his pace and his cheeky passes but think they will join up in time to the other forwards, Dessert needs to keep his head up when he runs and needs to lace the ball as dunno what he was doing at times taking his time, Dowell done okay, Lammers tried but should have been up top and Danilo wasn't given enough time to make a real difference. The playing with 6 strikers eventually was ridiculous and we nearly got caught out again twice after the goal and there was no structure. Ultimately the team just feels unbalanced and felt like strangers playing for the first time together.

Coops remember some didn’t want him in the 1st place. He does need time but it’s the style of play that’s worrying for me.
17.) 06 Aug 2023
06 Aug 2023 07:55:33
Killie had 8 new starts playing and fought hard with a game plan. The same game plan these teams always set out to do . the same game plan we often fail to break down! We are crying out for width. Yesterday unfortunately was no surprise for me.

It's hardly a surprise at the frustration of some posts following that poor showing last night. Tactics, shape, level of performance were all poor but my main concern was the lack of fight shown by some players. The new lads should now know they won't get time or space away from home nor will they be playing against attack minded teams week in week out. Big games coming up in the next few weeks and need to make sure we win all these games.

After a performance like that, I'd be more worried about any fan who's not questioning the manager.
There are genuine questions to be answered on the team selection, the formation, the intensity and the substitutions.
Biggest question of all is why it was almost identical to the issues / frustrations from last year?
I thought the 'handbrake' was coming off after spending £20m and getting a fill preseason under his belt?
21.) 06 Aug 2023

We’ve no spent 20 million so stop with that.

We will end up having spent less than we take in, the problem for decades has been the tie and blazer chancers but we accuse ra celtic of being biscuit tin people. Find a nice Saudi and hurry up with it .

Armstrong near screwed dopey Barasic in to the ground, Mayo was the best defender and MOM, Beale and the rest of his mates in that bus shelter need to get sorted asap and work out some tactics because there were not any it was chaos.
24.) 06 Aug 2023
06 Aug 2023 09:46:17
Anyone ever seen Barasic win a ball in the air or even nutted a ball at any time? I will try youtube, maybe he's had a concussion in the past that hasn't quite cleared up .

Haha there’s the first one! I want Beale gone ?
Didn’t take long, and who in your opinion would be able to get any more out of the biggest mish mash of players I think I’ve ever seen at rangers in my 40 years as a fan! Everyone’s been banging on about having a good window ? I think last year’s squad was better than this one! Beale been signing players nobody else wanted and trying to make a team out of off cuts! Really can’t see how this team are going to play out!
26.) 06 Aug 2023
06 Aug 2023 11:26:48
All I will say is thank **** we have another game so soon. Let’s get Ibrox rocking, get behind the team and hopefully we see a spirited reaction from the team and get wired into Servette.
27.) 06 Aug 2023

Defraz I’m a season ticket holder of 32 years, every1 entitled to an opinion but how can you criticise to the level we have in the past 24hrs after the 1st game? As StevieG2 says they’re just pointless angry rants that will do what good for the manager and new players?

Bornablue why shouldn't we question?
Do you know where the tradition and origins of the people that built this club come from. its not in our nature to be sheep
There are some glaring reasons why people are doubting
We look exact same as preseason Beale learned nothing from those games
Our defense was the problem last year only need to look at goals conceded and champions league results to see that.
Yet we brought in 4 forwards when the forwards and team we had scored more goals last season than title winning season yet we concede 34 goals last season compared to about 13 winning season?
We got 4 strikers who's total goals don't amount to kyogos total season tally not even close ten goals behind then we draw a blank surprise surprise
I warned people we should be keeping colak and sakala to give time to bed players in we were playing well towards end of last season and he tore it up ?.
Nearly every fan could see we needed pace.
And for me forcing sakala out the door goes against everything our club should stand for. Especially when guy gives us his all.
Beale watched that game for 45 min no ideas from team dessers slow no impact or real team involvement lundstrum and raskin not working together killie still got through too easily with two holding players Tav was doing nothing Sima is ok centrally but slows the game down when wide which any fool can see.
Still beale does nothing instead waits to 60th Min same as Gerrard and Warburton
Remember Walter Smith or advocaat or souness who If it wasn't good enough he would let players know by changing it.
Tactics shocking
Players clueless
Beale shocking and clueless and indecisive
Wake up rangers season has started and you are already playing catch up.

people are allowed too get angry n why not
signs are there
n we might not get beat all season now but can realistically that be possible
all fans see is celtic in front already n not slowing down
they had a few of their main guys off
n still rattled ross county
so people are understandably concerned
its 3 points lost
n all i hear is this beale system
well if kilmarnock rumbled it first game a the season of coarse its worrying.

Honestly if we won a would still not of forgave him we played p##h even if killie never scored that goal we were never winning that match get a grip killie outplayed us and where the better team that’s what’s more concerning than the score line.

Raith Rovers managed to score 2 against the same side and dominated the game, go ask them for advice . But maybe they tried and nobody hid or posed for 90 mins (plus extra time in the case of Raith )

I am a Rangers fan for over 50 years and I do question the manager and some of the new players. I have learned over the years not to write off players too early but the collective lack of ideas, thought and effort yesterday sets them all up for criticism. I was not in favour of Beale getting the job, he is another inexperienced gamble by the board and apart from Gerrard they have all fallen flat on their faces. To leave Cantwell out of the team yesterday is indefensible, to leave out Danilo who has played lots of pre season games and pick Dessers who, both he and the manager, admitted was behind the others fitness wise is also ridiculous. He is playing people out of position to get them all in the team and as a result we have been a shambles in the friendlies and again yesterday. that's a fact.
34.) 06 Aug 2023
06 Aug 2023 16:36:54
Only time will tell whether Beale has what it takes or not but there is not getting away from the fact that his tactics and his team selection yesterday was wrong. He said before the game that he would be more attacking and then he plays Lundstram instead of Cantwell. He might as well have gone with 10 men.
What is more, he still has the same poor defence as he had last year and I worry to think what sort of shambles they would be without Goldson and Butland.
He needs a big victory on Wednesday followed b a goal spree at Ibrox at the weekend.
He could also do with bringing in a new left sided centre back and a winger.
I'm not going to criticise the players but Beale has to carry the can for that shambles.

Goforbig I think it’s too early to question it because it’s one competitive game into a season with 9 new players just in the door who wether we like it or not, will completely disrupt the entire squad as they take time to settle into the club, the city and the culture and to form relationships on the field with their new team mates. Anyone that’s played football at a decent level knows how difficult it is when you first join a new team and that it takes time to form relationships and link up play. Look at their first lot of games under Ange they wanted him gone then suddenly it all comes together. I agree with the concerns regarding the defence but last year we hardly had a settled back four, hopefully this year we will and I have full belief in Souttar and Goldson who are only now getting the chance to form their own partnership aswell. With Tav it’s the same every year and he always proves the doubters wrong. Barisic and LB in general definitely needs looked at and another CB in but we aren’t finished in the market yet. If it doesn’t gel in time then fill your boots with criticism but for now i’m right behind Beale and the players wearing our jersey ??.
