Rangers Banter Archive February 16 2020

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


16 Feb 2020 19:35:56
I guess we move on now to Thursday --personally what I wouldn't give to be a those 2 points behind with a game in hand and be out of Europe---all this European run is now is a silver star on SG's CV when you boil it all down==="oh look, I won nothing but what a great run in Europe I had"---after todays result at the sheep i'm afraid its all but done n dusted---that was our lifeline.



16 Feb 2020 20:27:17
Its only done and dusted when/ if it becomes mathematically impossible mate. Its going to be hard now YES,
but impossible NO! I've seen it too many times in my long experience of going to watch the rangers. We never give up end of and i wish some of our supporters would stop this negative, annoying talk of its over,
done and dusted etc, when it ain't.
Nothing has been decided. Get behind gerrard and the team and let's see what happens. Too many defeatests at the slightest run of poor form!



16 Feb 2020 20:54:01
What is it just over 3month to go by we have to watch that mob having a party celebrating 9iar and umpteen cups in a row I'm hurting bad man this isn't working out.



16 Feb 2020 20:58:03
ill go with the reality check and anything else will be a bonus---I guess you forgot about the shot that hit the post for livi that would maybe have ended sg's career at ibrox---now that's reality ---but I get your drift---and yes I do remember helicopter sunday but there were no prima donnas in that team----Alfie has done well but he actually believes he's worth 40 million----that's the scary part.



16 Feb 2020 21:32:43
Get this in your head pal. Steven gerrard 200%, even if we do win nothing this season, will still be the rangers manager for at least a 3rd season. I honestly have got absolutely no doubt about that! We have most definitely improved under gerrard and i honestly do think we'll get where we all want to be,
with him as our manager! This was always going to take time and yes he has made mistakes. God almighty, what manager hasn't, especially in their early years in management. Gerrard came into an absolute shambles at rangers remember.



16 Feb 2020 21:33:50
Alfie believes he's worth £40m? Have you been speaking to him? 🤔.



16 Feb 2020 22:02:37
What a state we were in 2 years ago. Them banging 6 in against us at every turn. Anybody on here expecting miracles so soon after the shambles Gerrard inherited are absolutely deluded. Would have been fantastic yes but in reality naw. I’m still not throwing the towel in just yet tho.



16 Feb 2020 22:03:22
I won't apologise for the reality check and ill watch your posting once its mathematically impossible which may come sooner than later. 9 in a row twice and moving in to 10 in a row. the 200% manager better start changing things around or that 200% will become 1% tops and watch him disappear into the night and coming out with all the excuses just like pedro is doing right now. ill keep my reality check open in case a miracle happens, avoids the disappointment that losing to a point or goal difference brings.



16 Feb 2020 22:04:34
and I feel that crowd left at half-time agree with my sentiment.



16 Feb 2020 22:17:10
Sgl, I think steven gerrard will be with us until his contract runs out, 2024, the only way he would leave before so, is if liverpool come calling, in fact i think if klopp signs a contract extention at liverpool, steve will sign a contract ext. at ibrox, by next season, we will have champions league money, whether we win league or not, he won't leave before then, imo.



16 Feb 2020 22:26:19
SGL I really admire your enthusiasm and you right there is a lot of football to be played but please stop all this steve came into a shambles. Our 3 best players in my opinion were at the club when he arrived and he has built the team round about them so he has to take some responsibility. Morelos tav and jack.



16 Feb 2020 22:26:40
Gerrard loyal, everyone has a right to what they think would be best for the club, we get you love gerrard and that's cool but if people are getting tired of his plan a.

no plan b, players having 5 bad games in a bounce and there still first names on the team sheet, unable to change a game, waiting to 80 odd mins for a sub, spending 20 odd million not seeing much back in return you can't blame them. But i do agree he will be here next year not got the money to sack him.



16 Feb 2020 22:27:23
If we win our games up to the Celtic game at Ibrox, and beat them in that one, then who knows what can happen. Until it's mathematically impossible we should all pull together, they came very close to it being 8 points, they looked anything but world beaters, nor are we, I know that, but we should not lie down to them or any team in this league.



16 Feb 2020 22:44:43
better off out of Europe definitely not we have earned over fifteen million this year that towards players, I never thought we would win the league this year we just don’t have the strength in depth.

our first eleven when fit and on form are as good as anyone but after the break we lost big players to injury one to suspension and a few lost form but we don’t have the players to come in.

they have had years of walking the league hoarding champions league money they have players of the same ilk to step in if they loose players, we need to keep building, since SG came in we have moved forward we were fighting for second place now we are Now twenty two points ahead of them so all this crap about sacking our manager is crazy.

let’s say we did it would cost say over £5 mill to pay up his contract along with his coaching staff that could be spent on the team, you need to look at the club as a whole how far we have came but lack of finances has held us back look at the jan transfer window we were in a great position two points behind with a game in hand what did we get two loan players who couldn’t get a game for their parent clubs.

Kent seems to be taking the flack and his price tag gets a mention and how SG wasted the money but in the chase for him on here people were pleading with the club to buy him give the guy a break he’s struggling with form as is a few of our players today wasn’t pretty I agree but conditions were never going to make it pretty we should have had a pen.

Morelos' goal was onside that’s two goals in lgames against Hibs and today that he has had chalked off we created more chances today moved the ball about better I agree we’re not back to pre break form but let’s stay with the team we will get there.



16 Feb 2020 23:39:24
SGL- You've mentioned that your sick of reading posts about the league is over - Our players are playing as if the league is over, maybe you should have a word with them instead of having a go at us!



17 Feb 2020 00:04:54
SGL done and dusted it is mate, and negativity on here loses us nothing, but negativity from management costs us dearly. Fans negativity is down to frustration and spending a fortune following a team that are just not up for it. Where do we go from here?

God knows, but we are just not firing on all cylinders and why? Because we beat Celtic at Parkhead and went into the winter break thinking we had found the promised land, as they say, one swallow doesn't make a summer, but we fell for it hook line nd sinker.



17 Feb 2020 03:07:16
Coop, if another club came in for our Manager StevieG, do you think he would walk✌️🇬🇧.



17 Feb 2020 03:13:25
SGL totally agree with you. Rangers have improved under Gerrard. But obviously not enough for some supporters. Yes he has made mistakes just as any other Manager has. I think some people forget that Rangers are still in a rebuild process. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎.



17 Feb 2020 06:14:17
Fauldhoose bear. If you think gerrard HASN'T improved rangers and that he didn't inherit a total shambles, then i honestly can't find an adjective to describe that statement from you!
Truly pal! Yately1 my old friend i honestly don't think steven gerrard would walk if any club came in for him, as specific club yes and we all know who. This guy gerrard is very tough mentally and is a total winner and never has been a quitter mate.
Just my opinion though.



17 Feb 2020 07:51:05
I fear it would be back to they days and they would take 6 off us if they played us now tbh. Were so poor at moment its unreal.



17 Feb 2020 12:42:02
Well said Supercoop, all good points well made.



17 Feb 2020 13:18:21
Sgl I never said he has not improved us what I said was he walked into the building with 3 of our top players there. You make excuses for every manager especially warburton and now you say he was part of the reason it was a shambles when gerrard arrived. You have had us 2 england managers 16 future captains and 23 different shirt manufacturers of rangers in the last 5 year. You shall get something correct 1 day.



16 Feb 2020 18:59:07
in my opinion Docherty barker jones ojo just cannot handle playing for a big club like rangers they been giving a chance but they are just not up to it, the same happened with Duncan ferguson in the early 90,s couldn't handle the pressure playing for rangers and went on to become a everton legend.



16 Feb 2020 19:07:13
Docherty was never given a chance so how can you say he’s not good enough. The last time he had a run of games was before Gerrard was even here.



16 Feb 2020 19:15:33
I'd disagree about Docherty as he's not been given a chance with the first team. Superb season at Shrewsbury, man of the match for Hibs last week, scored today. Hibs support wanting him to sign permanently. Hibs manager and staff raving about him but yet can't get a game for Rangers.



16 Feb 2020 19:34:20
I'd agree about Ojo and Barker but think your a tad harsh on Docherty and JJ. Docherty has never been given a chance by Gerard (and probably never will) and JJ was playing well before his injury especially in the Europa qualifiers.



16 Feb 2020 20:11:39
So if players can't hack it at Rangers go to a huge english premier club and be a great success .
You havin a laugh Ian.



16 Feb 2020 21:18:36
Of course they are, he is a rangers player out on loan. Why would they not be monitoring his progress?
I like Docherty and feel he’s been a wee bit hard done by, however, his last loan move was a big success for him albeit at a much lower standard. He chose to stay and try and break into the team first half of this year, that was almost impossible with the form of Davis, Jack and Kamara. Let’s hope he continues to excel at Hibs, he certainly has initially. My only concern is when playing for Hibs opponents have a go and he has the spaces to drive forward into, at Rangers it’s a diff game all together. Regardless here’s hoping it’s a win win for lad.



16 Feb 2020 21:29:53
Above post should have been below 🤷🏽‍♂️ lol.



17 Feb 2020 00:12:38
ian1964, Only Ojo has been given chance after chance. At best the others have had minutes, no more, and some have big skelfs on their arses waiting for their chance. A few minutes here and there totally RUINS a players confidence because he starts to think I'm no good and the manager doesn't rate me.



16 Feb 2020 18:51:02
I hope Stevie G and the management team are closely watching Greg Docherty.



16 Feb 2020 18:10:14
Can the Halliday haters give the boy some credit where it is due today? He’s not the most talented player in our team but if the more talented players had his attitude we wouldn’t be dropping points to inferior sides. Only Arfield matched him for intensity and desire today. 👏.



16 Feb 2020 19:16:06
Swagman 100% agree played his heart out today.



16 Feb 2020 19:23:20
Halliday stuck in today in very difficult conditions, boy could have lost an eye, gets stitches and finishes game.



16 Feb 2020 19:36:15
If we had a team of Hallidays we would be in the Championship! 😂😂😂😂😂
And correct he isn't the most talented as shown by his cross that ended up in row z and his point blank miss. 👍
Or am I being harsh on a bluenose? Because if that was Aribo or Ojo we wouldn't have heard the end of it on here.
You can get the same attitude from one of the 50000 in the stands every 2nd week. 👍.



16 Feb 2020 20:01:50
Never hides. Not good enough but at least he tries for the jersey, if they all had his heart.



16 Feb 2020 20:04:45
I think that's really unfair mr tup. The lad played well in difficult conditions and would have converted that chance 9 times out of 10. Surely you must have seen that it was an unbelievable save. This is why I hate our so called supporters at times.



16 Feb 2020 20:32:13
Yes MrTupacman, but i'd rather have a player with the proper attitude, than a player who has talent and just swans around like look at me.
What he's saying is if a good few of our talented players, had andy halliday's attitude, we would be fine! Try and understand what the guys are saying, as regards to halliday!



16 Feb 2020 20:40:59
Halliday is a decent player. Oh and this is going to cause some tantrums and tears, but he would never rubbish out a tackle like Barasic has done twice since the winter break. Barasic may have more talent, but he’s yet to 100% convince me he isn’t a big softie. As always, keepin it pc. Goodnight y’all.



16 Feb 2020 21:02:38
Fair play to Halliday today, I think he forced a fantastic save from their goalkeeper! He could have gone down the Flanagan route and played it safe all day and not crossed the half way line but he didn’t. He showed bravery and pushed into the opposition half when anytime he got the chance.



16 Feb 2020 21:48:50
Tupac, you need to get a grip. You make it sound like we had 10 Maradonas and an absolutely donkey. Would love to see you out there since you seem to think you’re at Halliday’s level 😂

You know whenever he plays he’ll give 100% and he’s not half as bad as you make him out, whereas some of the others might turn up and play great or they might be an absolute empty jersey.



16 Feb 2020 22:04:56
My MOTM today but everyone entitled to their opinion just like you having made your mind up about gerrard.



16 Feb 2020 23:50:48
Glasgow rangers gooner - you mentioned Barisc rubbishing out of a tacle, what about Tav against Kilmarnock? 4 times he pulled out of a tackle and he's supposed to be a defender and our captain. I think he was running scared of that pitch.



17 Feb 2020 10:20:56
Aren’t you the same Swagman who a couple of months ago said they’d played football to a decent level (? ) and could take the place of our captain Tav because all he does is take free kicks and corners?
But slate a bluenose in the team and it’s a whole new ball game?
And I’d rather have a team full of players with ability than the correct attitude. Did the team suddenly play brilliant with Halliday involved? No!
For all of those wanting Docherty, Halliday, Stewart etc next you will be wanting McInnes as manager! 😂😂😂.



17 Feb 2020 11:00:56
Attitude is just as important as talent, ask ravel Morrison 👍.



17 Feb 2020 14:40:37
Tupac you just seem to hate Scottish players?



17 Feb 2020 15:39:29
Where did I say I hate our Scottish players?
Whereas you have constantly vilified our manager and certain players over the last few weeks!
There’s a difference thinking they aren’t good enough.
A blip in form and first it was Docherty and now it’s Halliday who’s going to save to season. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Who’s next? Bring back Kenny Miller? 😳😂😳.



16 Feb 2020 18:06:01
Scott arfield has close to a 1 in 3 goalscoring record for us. that's a very healthy ratio for a midfielder and as i've said time and time again, he's the only one prepared to continually run beyond our striker. We need more of what arfield does attacking wise,
from more of our midfielders! Arfield is a very clever runner and takes up superb positions. Him, jack and davis would never be out our midfield imo.



16 Feb 2020 20:05:51
I thought all 3 were very good today, but Scotty was a standout.



16 Feb 2020 17:53:08
Inverness behaving like every other scottish team and kicking our playets up and down the park. Colts by far the best footballing team but 2-1 down at the moment.



16 Feb 2020 17:40:41
Some really good performances from some of our young players so far against ICT. Both centre halves, Mcpake and Kennedy standing out for me so far but no poor performers.

Mcpake and Kennedy should be on the first team bench ahead of players like Jones and Barker when he's involved. They are young, hungry, talented players who are also exciting in the way they play the game. Get them involved and get Docherty back for next season as well.



16 Feb 2020 18:06:54
McPake couldn’t cut it at Dundee earlier in the season, no way is he ready.



16 Feb 2020 18:09:12
Mocbear, i posted on here a few months ago that i think our colts could win the championship, i still think this, i. t. c (go balistick) lol, were lucky to best the colt team today, the ict keeper saved them today, well him and the crossbar, though i never seen the first half i definetly think there are some really good youngsters in this colt team, also when i posted someone on here said the colts would habe no chance of winning the championship (cant remember who) but would like to know if the poster still thinks the youngsters would have no chance.



16 Feb 2020 18:10:58
MOCBear - they were very unlucky not to go through. Effort, skill, playing for the Jersey, now where could we do with some of that?



16 Feb 2020 18:12:22
Totally agree MOCbear, Mebude, and Kennedy and Paterson also looked good, they did the Club proud today, very unlucky to lose.



16 Feb 2020 20:10:36
The colts were unlucky today. Mebube was our star man today, cracking wee player. They were definitely the team trying to play football.



17 Feb 2020 16:12:52
Went to the Solihull game where they battered us to start with physically and went 3-1 up. When our lads got the ball down and started playing, their big physical players couldn't handle us. They are a credit to Graham Murty and the club. It would be great if some of these lads could get into the first team in the future. They are great to watch.



16 Feb 2020 17:27:40
Great to see subs getting made early and a change of tactics going two up top in those conditions great 3 points but still concerned were not killing games off that's was a torturous last 10 mins.



16 Feb 2020 18:11:43
Blu blue sea, i think if it wasnt for the way the sfa set pur league up ( non stop) todays fixtures would have been posponed, along with all weekend fixtures in scotland, terrible weather to be playing in, imo.



16 Feb 2020 18:11:56
Sorry Bbs, I switched after 35 minutes it was gruesome!



16 Feb 2020 18:14:44
Yes, 3 points was the main thing after our slip ups of late, Dykes is a threat for sure, the conditions made it a lottery for both teams the.



16 Feb 2020 18:50:55
blue blue sea, Early subs? you're having a laugh? Kamberi was on at 56 mins yes early I agree, but the other two came on in the last 7 mins, hardly what I would call early, particularly Aribo, on 89 mins, utter nonsense from the manager.



16 Feb 2020 19:07:34
Aribo to waste time, trying to manage game which was a criticism aimed at him he does it still not happy!56 mins far far earlier than usual plus he went two up top changed tactics usual suspects will never be happy.



16 Feb 2020 21:07:49
Just to be clear, at no pint did we got two up top. When Kamberi came on, Morelos went into the wide role.



16 Feb 2020 17:01:33
Mr Gerrard. We must have some extra special playets at Ibrox if our Docherty can't get a game. Great goal for Hibs today and man of the match in his last game. Get a grip man.



16 Feb 2020 17:25:36
Wonder what sir Walt thinks sitting in stand today he prb left a half time ahah.



16 Feb 2020 17:58:59
He probably thought that’s a great 3 points! so dsgersfan what’s today’s moan
Subs made early check
Change of tactics 2 up top with change check
Clean sheet Check
3 points. Check
Killing game off No
Surely you can give a bit of credit today?



16 Feb 2020 18:17:12
Docherty scored again for Hibs, and looking okay, we must give this lad a decent run, as there are too many getting game after game, and doing nothing, also get Kamberi up front in our next league game.



16 Feb 2020 19:27:56
different prospect playing for hibs than rangers.



16 Feb 2020 20:59:46
Credit fur Wat that was dire man.



16 Feb 2020 21:14:39
@ geesadodothat what a stupid comment. That’s right no Hibs players can ever make it at Rangers, oh wait a minute there was that one that I remember, think he might be the greatest Rangers goalkeeper of all time! Andy Goram.

And there are plants of others more notable for the other side if the city though - Collins, Brown, Griffiths, Thomson etc etc.

If Doherty proves a success at Hibs then Gerrard should eat some humble pie and give the lad a run in the team. David isn’t going to play forever and Kamara at times doesn’t look interested.



17 Feb 2020 00:42:21
I believe Colin stein too, however I think Alan mcgegor has earned the title Rangers greatest ever keeper.



16 Feb 2020 16:59:46
Some goal from docerty get him back and get in the team.



16 Feb 2020 17:30:48
Kamberi n Hagi not good enough fur us 1 mill fur both and just as back up in fact Kamberi bk to his 5oogrand Hagi.



16 Feb 2020 18:07:35
Kamberi was very good when he came on and Hagi is highly rated across Europe behave.



16 Feb 2020 18:27:15
Hagi not good enough my god boy been here 2 mins. get a grip n talk when u have a clue.



16 Feb 2020 18:27:21
What are you trying to say there DSGERSFAN?



16 Feb 2020 18:56:07
Kamberi was excellent when he came on I thought.



16 Feb 2020 19:27:49
Kamberi made a difference when he came on, certainly wanted to be involved.



16 Feb 2020 19:39:32
Mikeger, I've never seen a possitive post from dsgersfan, ever, not since our first game this season, fact.



16 Feb 2020 21:02:04
So what we're garbage fact truth hurts.



16 Feb 2020 21:16:30
Don’t think op was at the game today! Thought Kamberi looked sharp and very keen when he came on.



17 Feb 2020 11:03:01
Great finish that got chapped aff.



16 Feb 2020 16:58:41
Was there a walk out at half time? There looked a lot less fans there second half.



16 Feb 2020 17:27:39
It was absolutely freezing there today. Can't really blame anybody who never made it all the way. Was hellish!



16 Feb 2020 18:19:12
C of ibrox, well done to all that stayed to the end, i got up earlier to go for the paper and decided i wasnt going to the game, i also think if it wasnt for fear of fixture pile up todays game would have been called of, so again well done for braving it out mate,



16 Feb 2020 19:28:38
Terrible conditions at game today.



16 Feb 2020 20:04:54
Never been as cold in my life. I was ready for home, my boy wanted to stay, the wean won. Still trying to thaw out.



16 Feb 2020 16:55:13
Dykes over Kamberi all day long!



16 Feb 2020 16:49:42
Either Dykes was really strong today or our CH's were s88te. Truth is is that it's somewhere in between. If Dykes is available we should take a closer look.



16 Feb 2020 16:37:16
70 mins. How about giving Kamara and Jones are run for Jack and Hagi. Keep your players interested and rested.



16 Feb 2020 21:18:14
If Jack is fit he plays! Look what happened last months when he missed a few games!



16 Feb 2020 16:21:25
Scotty Arfield seems do be our most attacking threat over the last few weeks.
He's the only one who's scoring at the minute. Arfield seems to be carrying rangers at the minute. Said many times on here, that he's the only one who knows/ will get beyond our striker.



16 Feb 2020 16:56:01
Three points was the main aim it wasn’t free flowing but never was going to be in those conditions high winds and football just doesn’t work.



16 Feb 2020 16:57:03
Thought kamberi did great when he came on. Unlucky to be caught offside good finish. Gerrard has to go 2 up top from now on. Weve nothing to lose.



16 Feb 2020 17:12:07
Alfredo dragging the defence around and it leaves space for the midfield to fill. Well done Scotty for taking advantage.

To my mind Morelos has lost his confidence. He is passing the ball a lot more to others in the box whereas before he would go himself and usually score. Now when he is through on goal and has a go, the ball seems to end up in Row Z.



16 Feb 2020 16:18:39
Looks like a massive amount of the crowd have chucked it at half time.



16 Feb 2020 16:31:26
Don't blame them.



16 Feb 2020 18:15:35
Stayed til the end with my young daughter today. Her 4th game. She loved it and didn’t seem to notice the cold whilst I felt every blast of wind! Impossible to perform in those conditions, a good three points.



16 Feb 2020 18:29:21
I do disgraceful



16 Feb 2020 19:43:23
Ibrox4 me, good on the wee yin mate, its amazing how wane s never seem to feel the cold when they are enjying themselfs, eh.



16 Feb 2020 20:07:11
I was the same my 11yo didn't bat an eyelid, I moaned like a bitch from about half an hour in. It was Baltic lol.



16 Feb 2020 22:11:01
Paulellen - yes absolutely. I was delighted we got 3 points, but happier I was encouraging the next generation of my family to follow The Famous. 🇬🇧.



16 Feb 2020 16:03:13
morelos and kent MUST be taken off at half-time-----morelos unfortunately is starting to believe the 40 million pound hype and kent is a waste of a jersey and a waste of 7 million quid---I could go on but ill stop there---my helicopter sunday is now but a distant hope---.



16 Feb 2020 16:08:56
could not agree more. it is a no lose situation now. might as well try something different.



16 Feb 2020 16:14:33
Morelos is definitely off the boil. It's hard to keep the focus as the lone man game after game without decent service and support. a lot of physical work without any joy would bring down anyone. Maybe a change of formation would help.



16 Feb 2020 16:18:45
Buffalo wants a transfer. Done his bit now wants off. Not interested in Rangers. Colts winning 1-0.



16 Feb 2020 16:25:51
I agree they should be first to come off and replaced but can’t agree with Morelos believing the hype and Kent being a waste of money. Unfortunately they are 2 of our best players and game changers who are bang out of form at the mo as are most of our players. They will come good again and hopefully quickly.



16 Feb 2020 16:59:49
Spot on Scotty, bang out of form both confidence players, morelos is so isolated we are not attacking as a team the way we did pre January.



16 Feb 2020 17:09:39
More of the same first half, awful to watch. We looked more of an attacking threat when kamberi came on. He did more today than I've seen kent do for weeks in an attacking sense, always trying to move forwards at defenders and not sideways/ backwards, but will stevie agree? Can't believe they only had three bookings, that foul on goldson first half was a red all day. At the moment Alfie is only half the player we had up until December.



16 Feb 2020 17:17:33
seen enough today to say yea its over livi had really good chances to bury us hundreds around me left at half time not because the weather our attitude only time steve got of his arse is when we scored and wanted to be a manager for 5seconds.



16 Feb 2020 15:51:03
Since morelos has came back from winter break is it just me who thinks he now looks really slow and off the pace? 1st half of the season he was unplayable. Why are the team not playin, does anybody think its down to the manager constantly throwing players under the bus?



16 Feb 2020 16:09:10
No think it’s the players who’ve not got the stomach for it.



16 Feb 2020 16:18:33
This is has got to be down to the mangers critisim and the only way that is now going get fixed is either a new manger or gerrard getting rid of some players and start again the summer but has got stop critising the players contantly he is doing more damage every tim he does this.



16 Feb 2020 16:47:50
Don’t you think they deserve criticism? he’d be slaughtered if he comes out and says nothing to see here move on
I’ve said since break too many of the squad don’t have stomach for it even the fact that they get the criticism and can’t react to it shows the weakness of character
If they would show the heart of Halliday today that might help.



16 Feb 2020 15:50:52
Based on that first half we will not win this game. If the tactics are not changed at half time then we deserve to drop points.

SG said in his press conference in response to a questiin asked tgat he has changed tactics recently. Am I missing something? Looks tge sane to me.

Morelosbis also carry a bit of weight again. He doesn't look in top condition.



16 Feb 2020 16:29:27
Morelos sharpness has gone and he def needs specialised programme to address this ASAP. He’s maybe over partied during the break .



16 Feb 2020 15:49:40
Well. Credit to Halliday for being the most dangerous attacking player of that half. I think that says alot. but good for him!



16 Feb 2020 15:46:40
If there's any doubt the Refs in scotland are useless. That challenge on Goldson was unbelievable. Could have broke his leg!



16 Feb 2020 16:57:48
Ws thinking the exact same thing.



16 Feb 2020 18:32:35
Blue north sea, i posted on here in december about the crap officials that seem to have it in for rangers, i got slaughtered for it, so i said we would look at the situ at season end, but now i see loads of people on here now agree with me, self satisfaction, for me.



16 Feb 2020 15:44:15
Sorry, I know he has a lot of support on here and I'll prob get stick for this, but ryan kent cannot beat a man one on one. Closes he comes to doing it is running at defender and then cuts inside and has a shot or passes it, which still isn't beating a player. It's so frustrating to watch this. And if we manage a narrow win, we will get the old "well considering the weather" as if it doesn't effect both sides.



16 Feb 2020 17:14:24
ANO MCKAY WAS A BETTER PLAYER THAN KENT.



16 Feb 2020 18:34:08
Dsgersman, ime a beter player than mckay, and ime a pensioner,



16 Feb 2020 20:10:10
Barry McKay was a blouse. Hit him early eouldnt come back near you.



16 Feb 2020 21:10:20
Mckay was a big headed joke who is a bit part player at fleetwood.



16 Feb 2020 15:34:50
Half hour in. Absolutely dire.



16 Feb 2020 15:38:48
Id be surprised if it wasnt. Same tactics same formation. If you keep doing what youve been doing you get what youve been getting. Dross!



16 Feb 2020 15:39:05
4-3-3 same team and struggling does sg learn nothing, should still win but my god poor.



16 Feb 2020 15:33:36
any streams for the game?



16 Feb 2020 15:39:49
Try hesgoal mate but it's been terrible not worth watching.



16 Feb 2020 15:42:26
Why do you want to watch this dross?



16 Feb 2020 15:11:05
Great first cross in by Tavernier. Almost found Morelos standing in amongst FIVE livingston D Men. This can't be the way we want to attack. someone else is open somewhere.



16 Feb 2020 15:49:44
Listen rangers are a bang bang average team this day n age the sooner us fan reilies this then we'll then we'll accept it's 2nd or 3rd till were competing in future till we get huge investment from what I'm watching were just making up the numbers n b4 am told support the team through good n bad well its been 10 or 9 year of bad times that's what a lifer does when he gets life that mobs gonay do a world record that will never b beaten am fed up way this gash and aye a um depressed watching these players were being taken fur mugs I await all the respocies.



16 Feb 2020 16:12:10
Is there any point responding you’re minds made up.



16 Feb 2020 17:17:56
Dsgersman? , if that's how you feel maybe you should support another team, maybe try celtic, because they seam to be winning a lot of games, i would suggest liverpool, but that's too far a travel.



16 Feb 2020 18:38:45
Dsgersman, the only lifers I've met that do less than 10 are crime of passion lifers mate, even a lap of feck wouldn't do less than 10 . a pal that i visit is a crime of passinon lifer is now into his 13 th year.



16 Feb 2020 14:50:10
Disappointed with team and tactics today - so much for having "plenty to think out" after Killie. His stubbornness is starting to annoy me (not that it matters) and will cost him his dream of managing Liverpool and our dream of winning anything.



16 Feb 2020 15:13:10
Meaningless game the day you can tell way the atmousfear were playing fur 2nd n 2nd is nothing.



16 Feb 2020 14:37:07
Same formation/ tactics again today. 🤷‍♂️.



16 Feb 2020 14:44:31
The man doesn't listen and won't learn.



16 Feb 2020 14:46:23
No what I'm beginning to thing SG AND Rangers as a whole are making Neil Lennon look like a good coach but he's no he's bang average just shows actually how bad we still are.



16 Feb 2020 14:53:24
Listen to who ar9? You? I wanted 2 up top today but let’s see how things pan out.



16 Feb 2020 14:54:16
DSGERSFAN, I am not one for give them credit but they are on some run and seem unstoppable 😡.



16 Feb 2020 14:56:25
looks like same formation/ tactics that he said some players had no bottle for. If it goes wrong today, he'll certainly hear about it from 50,000 at Ibrox!



16 Feb 2020 15:06:01
Another thing that's getting my goat is the fact that we bring hagi in, who's a number 10, and we waste him out on the wing.



16 Feb 2020 15:53:07
Scotty dog lucky if there's 35k there.



16 Feb 2020 16:28:01
thats poor coaching I actually think SGS no got a clue what he doing Kent 2.5 at most SGS ripped us off for 7mill to do his beloved pool a favour. am fed up with him. OK he's put our advertisement up a notch or 2, but nothing else we gave up the got when hearts humped us fact.



16 Feb 2020 17:19:35
Ar9, which team do you manage mate, just asking.



16 Feb 2020 14:18:23
I think today's result at Pittodrie just sums up Scottish football at this time. Aberdeen now in 3rd place yet 32 points adrift of Celtic, so there is no real challenge in the league now apart from us and Celtic. For that reason, much as I hate to say this, but their upcoming 9 in a row in real terms, whilst it IS an achievement, is not anything like theirs and ours 9 in a row previously. Back then we had serious challengers like Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Hearts, Hibs, Kilmarnock etc, but nowadays no other team seem capable of taking points off Celtic, which is sad because they are not invincible. This time probably 6 out of their 9 in a row were totally unchallenged and therefore nothing like the achievement it's made out to be. The same goes for them winning all those cups, no challengers anywhere to be seen.
The other clubs in our league need to improve greatly or our league will hit the depths probably never to recover.



16 Feb 2020 14:22:31
Don't always agree with you ritchie but I reckon you are spot on with this. Good post.



16 Feb 2020 14:41:37
Ritchie, spot on my friend, it's down 100% to a winning mentality which sadly we don't appear to have. I will say, I thought young Dallas let the game flow, and allowed for the conditions. In conclusion, Alfie, please stay on your feet today, and play the game.



16 Feb 2020 15:16:40
Honestly but I don't think SG WILL ever coach a top club if yous want ask me why.



16 Feb 2020 16:01:28
Ritchie were included by your comment all Scottish footballw including us were a laughing to that mob you just have to read all the text msges you get from your mates that support that mob.



16 Feb 2020 19:53:49
Richie, the main point you missed out was, when we done our 9 celtic played in the same division as us, for the full 9 year, we have only been in current div 4 years, so they got five of a start, but if somebody, higher than the sfa don't step in it will be fifty in a row, i think most officials in our country must have lumped thousands of pounds on celtic getting ten. seriously.



16 Feb 2020 14:18:03
That result shows why the dhims will win the title out played most of the game but still win! it's a mentality thing we just don't have, pains me to say. Sheep must be gutted that's as good as I've seen them against mhanks.



16 Feb 2020 14:24:27
Just back from the driving range as I refuse to watch them. Disappointing but bot in the least surprising. Heard it could have been a foul leading up to the first goal?



16 Feb 2020 14:56:20
They won ugly again playing poor but picking up the points. We need the same mentality if we are to challenge. Never give up.



16 Feb 2020 19:55:32
Seeker, are you playing off a handicap yet mate, if so what's yours. just asking pal,



16 Feb 2020 13:05:05
Been thinking bout all the posters on here recently saying that all the other teams up their game against us.

In a way that's flattery cause that must mean they fear us.


However looks to me they have little to fear from us.
Since the break as all they have to do is sit back wi ten defenders then lump the ball up the park as they know we will have no defenders in our own half.

Once Stevie finally sees these tacticts and takes action to remedy it we could have a chance to win some silver next season.



16 Feb 2020 13:57:45
We will win silver this season bluebilly.



16 Feb 2020 14:07:05
They don't fear us, they know we can be beaten if they go after us mate. No signings for squad in summer, it's got to be 4 maybe 5 guys who can slot straight into starting 11,



16 Feb 2020 14:21:20
Hope your right John but I honestly don't see it this season.

Todays result will give a us better indication of our chances / lose or draw = NO chances in my humble opinion.



16 Feb 2020 15:05:38
John25, League is done, no way we’re beating the likes of Ajax to the Europa League so we’ve one shot and that’s the Scottish Cup and right now we look miles away from being able to win that either.



16 Feb 2020 15:30:27
Blue Billy, the question is, why do we only up our game against them? No point in out playing them in a cup final and not winning the cup or out playing them in their own patch for three points if we we then play like a bunch of coos against everyone else.



16 Feb 2020 19:59:29
John25, i thought the colt team were very unlucky today, but i thought they were the only chance we had of a cup this season, i hope so much to be wrong.



16 Feb 2020 21:16:39
Scottish cup gents.



16 Feb 2020 12:48:50
Never thought I'd write these word mon the dons! 😱😱.



16 Feb 2020 13:35:19
Agree c'mon the dons about time they actually tried against them instead of laying back.



16 Feb 2020 12:206:58
All the best to our manager and players for a hard game today! In my opinion our players need to win the battle first then be brave in playing attaching football .

Up hill task for the rest of the season

Keep believing.



16 Feb 2020 13:08:57
Is attacking football not the way Stevie always has the team playing
? .



16 Feb 2020 14:15:08
Usually we attack for one half of a game .

I’ll use the recent Kilmarnock game as an example?



16 Feb 2020 12:14:31
Looked l8ke a shove on the aberdeen player in the lead up to the goal but no scottish ref is going to give a foul againt them when they are on the attack.



16 Feb 2020 14:08:10
Should have had a pen as well I thought.



16 Feb 2020 12:12:36
There we go 1 to them already. More to come. Their own fans don't even think they have a chance and can't be botheted turning up.



16 Feb 2020 11:53:35
Always an optimist with regards gers. Remember as a boy in 70s during two points a win Gers closing eight point gap to win league so never know.



16 Feb 2020 12:19:59
Hopefully.



16 Feb 2020 20:02:02
Millerbrand,2008, we went to the split 8 points behind them, and we still won the league, so i never give in mate. you sound much the same, pal,



16 Feb 2020 11:33:23
It will be nice if the sheep kick lumps out of the unwashed today like they do when they play us, though if they do no doubt their players would be sent off. Surely it is about time they actually tried against them?



16 Feb 2020 11:55:33
Ill be very surprised if the sheep put in any sort of a performance today. They will sit back and admire and roll over for a 4 goal loss.



16 Feb 2020 12:00:15
DOIGER. Would be amazing if it happened but we all know Aberdeen will play their usual game against Celtic. I’m not saying they lie down to them, it’s just their usual game for everyone except us. We are their cup final and always will be.

As for refereeing. We have had some shockers from officials this year but I don’t genuinely believe they are all biased against us. What I do believe is that Morelos’ embarrassing diving makes it far harder for refs to believe us. All our players are tainted by association and as much as I love him, he’s a problem.

Also, I’ve never seen a team so passive in appealing as we are. Given SGs nature as a player I’m astonished. We should be hounding the ref when blatantly injusticed. Whatever anyone says, that sort of pressure on a ref does influence him. Roy Keane was the master at it. I’d sooner take a booking for that than for stupid diving. At least it will serve a purpose. Maybe this just shows that Tav lacks a captains mentality. Although I rate him as a player.



16 Feb 2020 12:06:36
Barring McCinnis and Lewis Ferguson that whole club hates us from top to bottom. They play 4 games a season. I will say another 3-0 stroll in the park to 'them'



16 Feb 2020 13:06:11
Naw well probably struggle a 1 nil win n well say it was a bit windy fur footballw.



16 Feb 2020 13:59:00
Dsger I’ll take one nil. Three points required.



16 Feb 2020 11:24:44
Aberdeen beat Celt today, we win it's 63-70. Then we win 2 old firm, it's only one point. Can't lose anythin else though or draw anything. I think today will show us if we've got it in us. Just think of ruck Astley. Never going to give you up, till we win a cup.



16 Feb 2020 15:03:48
Rossco30001, you didn't listen to that ashley did you mate? i wouldn't ever tell anyone about that mate. lol.



16 Feb 2020 10:45:21
is the game on nothng on the web sites.



16 Feb 2020 11:11:08
I'm about 10 miles from Ibrox. No rain and the winds aren't too bad at all so I'm guessing it will go ahead.

Confident of a win and hoping Aberdeen can actually take something from Celtic.



16 Feb 2020 11:14:20
Bigbluebear, the game is on mate. 3 nil Rangers.



16 Feb 2020 11:19:56
Why the panic to get this game on?
There is a VERY VERY big assumption that we might get through to next round of Europa which means less midweek dates available.
I have seen nothing since the turn of the year that suggests that is even a remote possibility!
Have a look at Bragas last 5 or 6 results.



16 Feb 2020 11:35:12
I'm confident Aberdeen will get absolutely horsed as per usual. Only time I was confident they would take something from Celtic was the year it consigned us to third place. So confident in fact, I put money on it.
3-0 to Celtic. Very happy to eat large slices of humble pie if I'm wrong.



16 Feb 2020 10:19:24
Don't understand why polsters just been chucked. I've seen him playing an his defending is better than tavs and he shows more desire than goldson. Is it because he ain't in the favourites club.



16 Feb 2020 10:43:01
Hit the nail on the head, that'll be exactly why.



16 Feb 2020 12:02:05
Hes not a cb so not going to play in front of goldson tbf.



16 Feb 2020 09:31:03
Just curious how ojo or aribo play instead of Stewart. when Stewart comes on he drives forward and attacks. I'm I somehow not seeing how those two are better than Murphy as well. Different set up though. How bout jack Davis Kamara, then Stewart Morelos Kent starting. Different players for a change.



16 Feb 2020 09:50:23
I’d give him a chance as well Rossco, but in all honesty I’m not sure I see him being as positive as you describe, I’d like a look at him over 60-90 and see how he does, with the performances in his position recently, he’s definitely bring something different, whether good enough remains to be seen.

IF it goes ahead, comfortable victory today, still optimistic we will get back to a good level this season.



16 Feb 2020 08:55:42
Has anyone read the interview of Craig Whyte on the BBC website? They certainly gave him a tough time with real hard hitting questions 🤔.



16 Feb 2020 10:01:50
Yes mrgrumpy, I read it. I've also ordered his book Into the Bear Pit. Before anyone shouts obscenities, I'm interested in reading his side of the story as he says Murray was not honest with him at the time of the purchase. I still think Whyte has a lot to answer for in the way he dealt with this business but it is always worth hearing all sides of the story.



16 Feb 2020 10:45:41
I'm frightened the telly would end up in the front garden tbh.



16 Feb 2020 11:13:56
Doiger, I will always judge that Murray is more to blame than anyone for what happened to our club but I don't see how Whyte's book will shed any light on anything. The man is a proven liar.



16 Feb 2020 11:54:31
Doiger can’t believe anyone on this site would actually give the “person” a penny after whatever part he played in almost destroy our club!

I appreciate you want to hear both sides of the story, but surely you could have gotten a copy off a Celtic supporter or through the public library!



16 Feb 2020 15:01:42
Doiger, i'm disappointed you would buy or give whyte another penny mate, him and and the rest of his chums are asset strippers pal, they do that for a living .



16 Feb 2020 06:31:26
Said it the other day. 1 more draw / loss then i can't see us closing potentially a 13 point gap. about 80% of you have already given up. its only 10 points. a game in hand still to play them 2 times. takes it down to 1 points. And then it's a, case of hoping another team beat or draw with them.



16 Feb 2020 07:39:33
At glasgow rangers you never give up, just like steven gerrard said!
Nothing is over yet!



16 Feb 2020 05:41:09
Just looked at some of Bragas recent results. In their last 7 games they've defeated Porto home and away, Sporting Lisbon home and away, and Benfica away. Look at our last 7 games. On current form, I'll be nice and say we've got our work cut out.



16 Feb 2020 10:25:16
am more worried what the pitch will be like for the game after today.



16 Feb 2020 10:47:51
On the other side of the coin we beat Porto at home and drew away, beat Feyenoord at home and should have won away.



16 Feb 2020 11:57:20
Aye seeker, that was months ago! That is the op’s point - looking at current form we would struggle to beat the bottom team in the SPL over two legs never mind. Top European side.
