12 Mar 2019 22:38:12
Not sure which direction our club are going in after that display! Morelos 20m you are having a giggle ~ big game bottler.



12 Mar 2019 23:06:32
He embarrassment
Cheating n diving
Not rangers ethos.



12 Mar 2019 23:42:09
His performances haven’t been good enough the last 3 games, he should be dropped.



12 Mar 2019 23:47:48
Indeed.



13 Mar 2019 00:23:14
Agree, another poor season- probably end up second in league so better than last year however I'm losing faith in SG - signed a lot of players but most of them don't appear to be of sufficient quality. It's only SG's reputation as a player and his no bull talk that has given him some leeway with the fans however if someone with less standing in the game had taken over as manager then make no mistake the fans would be tearing him apart. Sterile uncreative football in most games, stretching back to the game against UFA. 3 salary increases for Morelos, a guy who has potential but can't seem to absorb the simple instructions, presumably being given on a daily basis, to stop the diving and petulance and focus on what he's there for. Signing 2 strikers who increasingly look like panic buys and who can't score and others who at best are long term projects, (Grezda, Barasic etc) . Run in Europa League was a boost and win against the mhanks was long overdue so on balance better than last year however SG's not the master tactician we thought he was.



13 Mar 2019 00:36:57
Morelos put in some shift, Got zero service and had to backtrack as far as his own half at times to get on the ball, Arfields passing was dreadful, Candeias had a mare, Barisisc has gone AWOL, Kent turned into trouble too often, crossing was poor.



13 Mar 2019 02:39:07
Two big games that can rectify our season. He gets booked in both for diving? Doesn’t make a keeper move once in both games . Frustrated with the guy. What do we do?



13 Mar 2019 06:03:46
Can I note here that I never seen the yellow card but the commentators seemed to agree on reflection that his yellow was a penalty, and there was debate on if his goal was in fact onside. Despite this and a possible red for a dons player, we were not good enough.

But giftwrapping them with a goal in the first 5 killed us.

But not on the shoulders of Morelos.



13 Mar 2019 06:23:56
Drop him.



13 Mar 2019 07:28:59
As much as we are breaking the game down and accusing players of this, that and the next thing, is it not obvious that we lack direct attacking play? Our midfield is riddled with defensive midfielders and that's primarily why we are not creating chances. I was at the game last night and if we were being scored on passing the ball from side to side we would have been deemed outstanding. Simply no chance of moving forward with the current midfield line up folks. Simply no creative individuals to feed our strikers.



13 Mar 2019 09:44:57
Is there a chance that fear is letting our side down? The pressure Gerrard may be putting on the players is being highlighted all over the pitch, perhaps he is asking too much of them for the sake of his inability? Just a thought.



12 Mar 2019 22:36:14
Time to start looking towards next season and bed in some youngsters now there's not much to play for. Have them ready for next year. Has to be a project can't just restart a fresh every year. Would like to see McAllister on the touchline more doing some coaching and gerrard doing more analytical work throughout games. Feel he doesn't adapt throughout 90 minutes if plan isn't working. Just my opinion though but still think we've laid a foundation this year finally.



12 Mar 2019 23:36:55
Ibrox j tell me which youngsters you would bed in.



12 Mar 2019 23:48:36
Definitely think McCrorie should be in midfield and Katic in defence for the remainder of the season, we need to know whether these guys are good enough. I sick of saying it on here, 4-3-3 only works if you have goalscoring wide men, we are simply not good enough to play the same way every week and hope that our players being better than the oppositions will carry us through. We should have a tactical approach to winning every game and play the players that suit the plan. Hopefully bounce back with a win on Saturday but Clarke will employ the same tactics as tonight so we will need a plan to combat it.



13 Mar 2019 01:51:04
I agree that McAllister could be doing more during game time. I think of McCall in his times as number two at various clubs and he is very vocal and animated trying to get the best performance in that 90 minutes from the touchline.

All in all, terrible period after winter break but keep the faith with Gerard, he'll come good. It's his first stint in management . Huge job for a first job. Give him time.



13 Mar 2019 04:08:26
Any who are doing well at youth level don't get enough exposure by being subs for experience. Not going to pretend I watch a lot but I hear we have some developing well. Give them a chance so next season they can be called upon if needed.



12 Mar 2019 22:09:17
Shinnie is not good enough for rangers and would not get a game before any of our midfielders, he couldn't play LB for us either 🤔🤔 I smell 💩😂.



12 Mar 2019 23:21:19
the fact of the matter is we need score and create goals and shinnie is not this type of player but like i said before he could do a job at left back.
Signing players from spl is not going take our team to the next level they need to be at to win a cup or league title if this is our new signing strategy then we are in big trouble.



12 Mar 2019 23:46:29
Not to mention Coldo he's suspended for our semi game which as a tic fan I'm very happy with! He's probably best player in league out of Gers and Celtic yet you seem to be only bear on here thinking he wouldn't be a great FREE signing

Mental.



12 Mar 2019 23:54:07
Couldn’t agree more Coldo! The lad was the best player on the park. Heart of a lion.



12 Mar 2019 23:55:08
Coldo, Shinnie is crap and has been made to look better than he is by inept performances by our own crap midfielders on 3/ 4 occasions this season. He’s done hee haw against Celtic and hee haw in Europe whenever he’s played there. He isn’t good enough to get us where we need to be and would be the next in a long line of under achievers. That is the point people make that you mock. If he signs I’ll support him of course but no one was talking up shinnie when they were getting beaten at home by Hamilton.



13 Mar 2019 00:24:41
Absolutely bosses it tonight coldo.



13 Mar 2019 10:42:51
Tompo you seem confused mate, I think shinnie would be a good signing. I'm "hinging oot" that muppet supercoop for yet again making an absolute clown of himself. Wee bear, yes they were👍.



13 Mar 2019 11:53:29
No coldo sorry I worded my post wrong.

Meant to point out how I was baffled you seemed to be only bear on here that would like to sign Shinnie. fully aware of your ongoing discussion on this with Coop lol.



13 Mar 2019 12:14:41
No probs Tompo👍.



12 Mar 2019 22:00:13
Been saying it for months, Gerrard has to go, after another shambles tonight, and it was a shambles. are we all finally going to wake up and realise that rangers are not a team for managers to cut their teeth on. I don’t care how big his name is, what has he brought with that name. Loan players who are never ever ever going to get a game with their parent club, the mhanks have brought in loan players worth over £30 million and all have big futures in the game.

this is what our so called manager was supposed to bring with his ‘name’. Sack him tonight, and let the under 21’s finish the season, make Morelos honour his contract and tell him he’s going nowhere. we are rangers. bigger than any one man and it’s time these players realise that. Leaving Ibrox tonight frozen cold and soaking wet, I’d much rather watch our under 21’s play with heart and desire than this mob of charlatans. We bottled it tonight, they knew then mhanks were sitting waiting and they shat it! Let’s go get rid of the scouser who clearly is way out of his depth! Looks like he’s lost the dressing room!



12 Mar 2019 22:59:43
Look on the bright side, at least You won’t have to suffer a defeat to the champs in the cup semi 👌.



12 Mar 2019 23:56:09
Awful post TrueBlue.



13 Mar 2019 00:15:56
No clue
n cheek to be trueblue.



13 Mar 2019 00:17:28
Don’t think getting rid of Gerrard is the answer right now. We can’t just keep getting rid of managers every time when things are not going as well as a lot of people want. Think we need some serious investment into the club so we can buy players instead of getting loan players all the time. Yes it’s dissapointing times just now, but we are supporters to support the team through thick and thin. There will be quite a different team next season so think Gerrard needs to be given till Christmas at least. Next season there probably won’t be Worral, Defoe, Davis, Morelos. Also not sure if Kent will sign, not sure if Barasic and Tavarnier will still be there. Not sure any other manager would do better with the players we have.



13 Mar 2019 04:09:44
Get a grip sack the manager that's what we need more turnaround.



13 Mar 2019 07:16:15
He needs more time but I don't think he gets how physical the league is. Why not try 442 or 4 1 4 1. I think we are often out numbered in midfield. All the midfield goals left with Windass I'm afraid. He was surely better than Kamara, Grezda etc.



12 Mar 2019 21:55:39
If anyone wants to talk about our progress I'll be here all night👍.



12 Mar 2019 22:57:21
Beat celtic
Too inconsistent
Knee jerk madness as per.



13 Mar 2019 00:23:53
Coldo

Great run in Europe

Finished 3rd last season. Will finish comfortably second this season.

There - that wasn't hard!

You can go to your bed now and sleep like a baby.



13 Mar 2019 08:08:00
Bet you're happy then Coldo. As wee bear was saying where was Shinnie when the sheep were crashing and burning against Hamilton and St Mirren? And how did your pal big Kyle do when he came on? The sheep defend well and fly into tackles at every opportunity because they get away with it. Remember what happens when our players dare to do this. How many crunching tackles is Considine allowed before he even gets spoken to never mind booked? I counted 12.



13 Mar 2019 10:31:55
I bet your happy, is that the best you've got seeker? I did tell you though didn't I👍. Class patter coolaballet, you're obv deluded aswell👍.



12 Mar 2019 21:44:25
Serious questions tonight.

Why did we sign two players in the JANUARY window neither of whom were near match ready?

Why have we avoided the priority purchase of creative midfielders and goal scorers?

Why has Gerrard got a blind spot with Barisic, Worral and Candeias?



12 Mar 2019 22:59:17
Baradic our best lb
Candy our best right winger
Agree wi worrall
I would go with katic.



13 Mar 2019 00:12:51
Being saying it for past 2 years Candeias is an imposter a journeyman player who isn’t good enough for us if we want to challenge. Team full of imposters no big game players utterly pathetic to lose 3 times to that mob in Glasgow in one season. I don’t think Ferguson’s sides ever managed that but McInnes has done it with ease. Too many players disgracing the jersey.



13 Mar 2019 00:51:19
Can’t answer the first one but I can answer two and three.

How much do you think creative midfield players and proven goal scorers cost? Name me a creative midfield player that you think we could afford.

Barisic does have more creativity than Halliday and we’re all baffled about the Lee Wallace situation. I think Worrall is better than Goldson. Easily. He is the only central defender we have that talks and organises and seems to hold players to account. Candeias - works his Jacobs off but lacks quality and composure. Who’s the alternative? That’s why he plays.



12 Mar 2019 21:43:09
Went to rubbish since winter break. Still have faith in Gerard to learn from his mistakes and take us into a successful next season.



13 Mar 2019 02:34:26
Agree Sir. Gerrard still learning But he ain’t daft. He’ll rectify this. The man ouses charisma. And knows what’s needing doing. I don’t think for any moment in time that Gerrard gives up on anything. He’s a determined individual. This will hurt him too. I think players have let him down especially our captaincy. Tavernier can’t lead. Maybe that’s ruining his game . Time to switch captaincy.



13 Mar 2019 03:14:05
Will he, aye? Raging wi laughter!



12 Mar 2019 20:54:44
This is what I think Gerrard considers his best 11. Needs to come up with something and make changes quicker if need be.



12 Mar 2019 20:41:13
Ok it's half time and we are a goal down and no warriors or leaders on the pitch. Kamara not good enough for Dundee and Kent flatters to deceive. All the goals from midfield went away with Windass. We need leaders and youth. At the moment we have neither! I hope I'm wrong!



12 Mar 2019 21:44:11
Not really surprised about result tonight no character or leaders in this team season over now .3 out of 14 won games won against Aberdeen Hibs Kilmarnock. thought might have went for it tonite after Aberdeen knocked them out of league cup semi but we’ve just not got bottle.



12 Mar 2019 22:46:31
that has to be one of the most toothless guttless performances i have ever witnessed at ibrox more shambolic defending and clueless going forward barasic is useless and an empty jersy he needs dropped asap and to be honest not one of the blue shirts gets pass marks gutted another waste of a season and that's even before we start to talk about kevin clansy thought i had seen it all with terrible referees before i witnessed his anti rangers tactics tonight rant over.



12 Mar 2019 20:38:20
Can't see us turning this round at this rate although if we somehow do, Morelos out of the semi cause of that daft booking again. The wilderness yrs continue for another season.



12 Mar 2019 20:20:14
A goal down after 3 mins at home very poor .

Let's see what Gerrards team are made of I'm making this post when the game is 33mins old . Can't see this game being turned around this team don't have the character hope I'm wrong.



12 Mar 2019 20:34:13
Let's see What Gerrard made of u mean.



12 Mar 2019 21:09:16
I hate being right all the time

Season over

Disappointing

Not a very good team and another lack lustre season with no fight .

Getting boring now .



12 Mar 2019 22:30:44
Not much it seems.



12 Mar 2019 19:58:23
OMG BRASS NECK 3MINS GONE SHEEP A GOAL UP MAN 😠😠😠.



12 Mar 2019 20:24:48
Get Tav and Candeias TF
Pollock Jnrs class.



12 Mar 2019 20:32:26
Tell them to take Gerrard with them rip it up and start again that's Wat a say.



12 Mar 2019 19:34:10
Can't believe Davis on the bench at expense of McCrorie.



12 Mar 2019 20:04:32
Bankie, Davis should be starting . Best midfielder we have . don't right him off yet . He’ will come good.



12 Mar 2019 20:04:46
Hopefully Gerard doesn't wreck the young mans confidence by leaving him out again like he has with Katic. Probably take stick for this comment but there you go.



12 Mar 2019 22:00:52
No Struth I'll take the heat right off you. 1st of all half the team are not good enough and the other half are loan players. I'll be glad when Worral, Coulibaly, Davis and Defoe all go back to their clubs, they have done nothing. In my opinion Jack, Arfield, Tav, Kent, Candeias and Goldson only look good against lesser teams. Now let's forget about the old firm game as that was a one off game where everybody played well, aside from that 1 game, we have been dreadful most of the season.

3 draws with Hibs, 3 DEFEATS to aberdeen 2 of which at Ibrox along with 2 draws against Aberdeen, a draw against Killie at Ibrox and a defeat away, beat by livingstone, draw with St johnstone and Dundee. Where is the progress, out of both cups and too far behind in league to catch THEM, their is nothing positive about our season, even our young prospects are being ignored when older more experienced players are not performing, it's a shambles pure and simple, the season is well and truly over lads, done and dusted.



12 Mar 2019 22:46:13
Your spot on sir struth. Two of our best youngest assets that could potentially go for millions if they are given a chance to develop but never mind bc we need to give games to Worrall since it’s in his loan agreement. Absolute joke.



12 Mar 2019 17:01:01
Going by the conditions tonight and the fact the sheep want to play physical and balls up in the air I'd consider our line up tonight we need to win the midfield from the start of the game not like the last match, put Dom ball under pressure either Middleton or Kent just keep taking him own. wet slippery surface I can see a card fest. nevertheless cmoan the gers!



12 Mar 2019 17:14:43
Agree bgatew, Ball was lucky to stay on the pitch last week. Believe with Kent tourmenting him and supported by Barasic he will crack. Definitely need a replacement winger on the bench, Middleton, to come on as require to continue the damage. Choice of subs tonight will be important and we don’t need 3 midfielders on the bench, a mistake we made against Hibs.



12 Mar 2019 22:14:43
Continue the damage right enough 🤣.



12 Mar 2019 16:53:22
What channel is the game on tonight?
Anyone know if a Rangers pub in Southampton that my be showing the match.



12 Mar 2019 17:14:39
Game not on tv mate
Daft uefa rules.



12 Mar 2019 18:10:02
The rangers website says it's available to watch on rangers TV to those out with the UK.

So if you've got a VPN or siptv with rangers TV on it you should get to watch the game ok.

I don't really understand why it's available to watch this time when there are European games tonight just like the first tie which meant meant it wasn't broadcast at all.

Does anybody what is different this time around?



12 Mar 2019 18:43:53
The FA flout these stupid rules and take a hit from eufa, why don't the SFA.



12 Mar 2019 18:54:30
Ah. I misread it, sorry guys.
Live coverage on rangers TV.



12 Mar 2019 18:55:47
not enough money in it to pay the fines.



12 Mar 2019 16:43:41
I am shocked that Mcleish has not included JACK in his latest squad. Especially as Morgan and a few others are in the squad.



12 Mar 2019 17:00:57
F*** the SFA XI - they do not represent the nation, me or Rangers. The tartan army would probably boo him anyway, as they do with all Rangers players. MacGregor only stopped getting booed when he left Rangers and now he's canned it too, possibly because they banned him for 2 games for protecting himself.



12 Mar 2019 17:10:39
Delighted he’s not been picked. Mcleish is a terrible manager and the national team is an irrelevance. Jack can focus on Rangers, and Scotland can enjoy finishing 4th in a group of nobodies. Happy days.



12 Mar 2019 18:25:11
Jack was not included as Rangers asked Alex "EBT" McLeish to leave him out so he was fresh for the Celtic game and did not risk injury.



12 Mar 2019 14:06:25
Regarding Tonight's quarter final TV blackout. I'm aware uefa introduced the rule a few years back that no games can be televised that will coincide with champs L. However England are showing games tonight and I believe the pay a fine for doing so. Thus is another example of money getting taken away from smaller clubs who needed that tv money. I for one will will listen to it on the radio and watch 're run later on. I'm a rangers fan when there playing I pay no attention to the champions leauge. The won't get my view when the famous are on. Something gas to be done about this rule.



12 Mar 2019 16:05:53
I think it's something to do with top flight league games or cup games are a no no, but Championship games or below are allowed.



12 Mar 2019 17:02:22
It's all about the money. BT Sport pay a pitance for Scottish Football, so it makes no odds to them.



12 Mar 2019 17:08:16
No interested in whether or not its top flight or not. The fact remains any real supporter will be watching or listening to there own teams game. Scrap the bs law. Power hungry money grabbing scum. I'll stick to my iptv. Bbc sky bt won't get a penny from me or one view. Untill they offer there subscriptions at a much more reasonable price. Oh you could add premier sports to that rant aswell.



12 Mar 2019 18:13:16
Hits-from-the-bong, totally agree mate, the famous are playing.

Champions league is only relevant when we are playing in it.
Follow Follow.



12 Mar 2019 18:45:57
It's all games I believe, but the FA will take the hit.



12 Mar 2019 13:52:41
Guys, I'd like to make a point about Steven Mclean apologising to Gerrard (apparently), for not giving the foul on Tavernier which led to the breakaway for their goal on Friday. In my opinion, he would have been better off keeping his trap shut, he cost us 2 valuable points, so, sorry doesn't cut it with me.



12 Mar 2019 15:56:32
for me its just like twisting the knife he has already stuck in our back.



12 Mar 2019 17:02:27
The ref never cost us, we should have had the game won by half time. Please stop with the excuses, no one to blame but our own players👍.



12 Mar 2019 17:17:27
Let’s not blame the referee, we should have been out of sight.



12 Mar 2019 17:58:38
I think refs should have to apologise for decisions that are potentially result changing.

If there are rules against speaking out against them, then they need to show they are accountable.

I just think they should stop all the bs and get VAR in.

Our refs are not good enough, as we don't invest enough into them, bring in VAR and even a mediocre ref can manage a game without costing anyone anything. Would get rid of anyone making up conspiracy theories too lol.



12 Mar 2019 12:51:20
I'd like to see Halliday and McCrorie in from the start tonight though don't know who would drop out in midfield to accommodate the big lad. Also, if we need to press for goals then SG must bring on Defoe and/ or Lafferty with at least 30 minutes to go. Does anyone know if there is extra-time and penalties tonight if it comes to that?



12 Mar 2019 13:06:02
I assume it will be because it's a replay.



12 Mar 2019 13:36:56
Think if it's a draw, Shaun the sheep and broxi bear have a dance off and torvel n Dean rate them see who goes through. Bummer it's not on tv be a good watch that.



12 Mar 2019 17:19:08
Will sound good on RTV radio, Tom Miller will do it justice.



12 Mar 2019 11:52:39
Dont know why they are doing a minutes silence tonight because there is no way that lot will stay silent. Would of been better with a minutes applause. RIP eric caldow.



12 Mar 2019 10:47:01
You think mcgregors decision to retire and anything to do with his recent ban 🤔.



12 Mar 2019 11:59:47
Thinking that myself Gers09 but he is playing over 50 games a season so time to rest more between games I suppose.



12 Mar 2019 12:35:05
Playing a lot of games, may have helped his decision.
About time we extended his contract, expires 1/ 6/ 20.



12 Mar 2019 14:12:29
I personally feel it is related. Decent cover up going on from SFA - will come out in the wash one day . McLeish was asked the very question two weeks ago and he felt the recent ban wouldn’t have a baring. He knows he’s lost his best keeper to the idiots on the disciplinary panel.



12 Mar 2019 17:21:58
I think his decision is probably related. and who can blame him. The SFA call and punishment on the incident was pathetic.



12 Mar 2019 07:41:34
I couldn't watch Friday night's game but saw the highlights on Sportscene. How we didn't go in at half-time three or four goals up I'll never know. We really must convert some of these chances. I thought the team looked brilliant in the first half. Good that the muppet Stewart wasn't on the Sportscene panel and I must say Packie Bonnar was a very fair, impartial pundit even though he played for the unwashed for years! Let's fly out of the traps tonight and kill the sheep off by half-time.



12 Mar 2019 12:08:43
We need to come out the traps and get in their faces from the word go, don't give them chance to breathe never mind play. I'm sick and tired of us being "unlucky". I'm expecting a performance rangers👍.



12 Mar 2019 12:36:00
Coldco, it's only fans that say unlucky SG says not good enough some of them.



12 Mar 2019 13:03:00
I know its not good enough jbhoy21👍.



12 Mar 2019 17:03:05
Try drop the h in my name. Please.



12 Mar 2019 17:24:08
I agree Jboy21, that was very unfortunate. Coldo how could you. Enjoy the game.



12 Mar 2019 23:19:15
Try drop the extra c in my name👍.



12 Mar 2019 05:01:47
Just reading Boydy in paper over in Sunny Perth, really our Academy worried about, the young boys won a tournament a few weeks ago beating all sorts of teams, we are now in a position to attract youths for the first time as before we just bought and got ripped off, now we can attract these boys and they will get the chance if they are good enough.
Boy Hastie looks a gun, big strong powerful and knows where the goal is.
Keep believing and follow we will.



12 Mar 2019 09:59:19
Have to agree Aussiebear I just hope that these young guys get a chance in the first team, Bye the way the weather was lovely here in Perth today.
