Great result last night. No matter the opposition, 3rd goal was an all round World Cup special and there were a few crackers. MacLeod and Aird are jewels in the crown and it is exciting to have 2 special youthful exciting talents. All we need is a midfielder for the season ahead.

Against clyde? positive result but not looking too much into it given it was clyde! so it really does matter who the opponents are? "world cup special " against clyde. dearie me

Excellent midfield performance but no disrespect to Clyde but we will face sterner opposition.
Yes Macleod and Aird are exciting prospects and along with Law and McCulloch has McCoist found his first choice midfield?

Johns although the result was good ally needs to get the team playing from the defence as every time simonson kicked the ball up park one of the clyde team got to it everytime and if ally never noticed this he should be going to specksavers eh

Johns

We need a right back too

Spot on Stewie, a RB should have been a priority signing, the reason Simonsen had to kick the ball upfield was because we have no natural RB who would pull wide to give him the option of a pass. A natural full-back will move to the touch-line a natural centre-back will move to the centre!simples! I actually dread some team playing an out and out left winger against us as our centre-half of Ally's choice playing RB will get torn a new one.

Youngwinston your post does not make sense why not the keeper throw it to wallace the best left back in scotland imo he could pass it or move down the left side of the park our strongest part of the team

Tmwtn, don't you think having a RB as well as Wallace would be a good option? IF we know that the strongest part of the team is the left, don't you think the opposition might just have a rough idea and close it down? which means as I said a Central Defender would'nt naturally go wide to receive a pass like a natural full-back which leaves the keeper with limited options, ergo the punt up the park!

Youngwinston do you think other managers haven't noticed our strength is down the left of course they know it but your post about ball going out through the rb hold the same as why not play it out to the left back think about it

Tmwtn, are you Ally? read the the post! the left side is covered! so we should just play the ball there anyway? why not have 3 options, left, right and centre? at the moment we only have left side or a punt.

Youngwinston the left side is covered eh so how come most of our goals come through the left side of the field

Youngwinston of course it would be better if we had a good rb but my point was we have got a good left back so if keeper should use the rb to start attack why not use the lb as we have a very good left back

While small beer in the great scheme of things at Gers, two thoughts about last night's game. We are a better, quicker-moving side without the malevolent presence of Ian Black and the incompetence of Foster. Secondly, despite the mitigating factors, the woeful 11,000 attendance is an eloquent warning of just how much financial damage will ensure if there is not root and branch corporate cleansing and new football management. The gate at the Dumbarton game will be very instructive.

S l b as far as attendance goes I would not read to much into it monday night live tv mediocre opposition and season books don't qualify not exactly stirring stuff

@1

The pricing was all wrong for such a match. £17! Should have been £10 gets an adult and child into the game

{Ed039's Note - Agreed on that one)

Credit's due where credit's due. Well done to McCoist and his team tonight.

8-1 tonight. Can it be a negative-free zone for once tonight (including me!). McLeod man of the match and hat trick for Boyd. Only Clyde I know but a big win anyway. Also, negative stuff about Ashley maybe investing more in Rangers. Why not? The club needs money and I don't see Rangers fans in their masses writing cheques or signing up direct debits!

Agree about Ashley don't know why the so called UOF have to be so negative towards him. Don't see a lot of others rushing to put money into the club and DK seems to have disappeared completely.

Doiger - only one wee moan, I thought we could have brought young Murdoch on when we were 5-0 up, to let us see what the young lad has got and give him a run out in the first team,

JG

@2

Spot on mate give the boy 45 mins and see what he has got. Was also disappointed no Barry McKay I fear that's his Rangers career over already

Just a few observations from the first half. the link up play between Boyd and Clark has been very good. the third goal was brilliant!also the team look hungry and the play has been stepped up a few gears. moshni still thinks he is World Cup wullie trying to ping 70 yard passes. looks a better player when he keeps it simple. and before everyone replys what a poor team Clyde are, I know. you can only beat what's in front of you. I would like to see Clark given a prolonged run in the team as he looks sharp. more of the same please!

I agree
I like young Clark needs a run in the team, Zalukas doesn't look fit, but on the whole better tonight mr mc Coisty but one swallow doesn't make a summer, keep it going Rangers.

That's probably as weak a team as we will face this season and in reality we have so far played poorly and struggled in the other 3 games this season.

Glass always half empty stewie, that's 3 out of 4 when we haven't been great just think what we will do when it eventually clicks WE'LL SUPPORT U EVERMORE!
r.f

Don't know what ally said to them after Friday but it's had an effect. totally different team without black and foster in the team. I would even go as far to say give faure a chance. looked slimmer than last season. moshni still a weak link. would get found out against a better team. but all in all a more energetic performance. passing also slicker and sharper. one swallow and all that rubbish but fingers crossed

R. f

Sorry but I am a realist and it will take more than a 8-1 victory over Clyde to get excited. Remember we have been second best in all 3 previous games and we won't be coming up against such weak players as Clyde have.

Stewie your right I would like to see clark get a run also faure but as far as moshni goes its got to be revolving door that let's u out but not in

19 Aug 2014 22:13:28
As I said stewie not been playing great and won 3 out of 4 so wait until team clicks and see what we will do.

First the UoF "order" fans to boycott season tickets - thus starving the Club of significant income and working capital.

Next, the UoF "demand" assurances from the Board that they will not use assets such as Ibrox or Murray Park as security to raise funding any shortfalls in income/ working capital.

Now the UoF are "threatening" the Board that they daren't take any investment in whatever shape or form from Mike Ashley.

Where do these band of renegades get off? The UoF does not speak for me and most certainly that mouthpiece Chris Graham does not represent my views nor for that matter any great, significant number of Rangers supporters. Who the hell does this self appointed mouth-piece think he is?

I am sick to death of him and this group telling the Board and us supporters what they / we can and cannot do - the very same board they are starving of much needed income and cash flow and as a result increasing the likelihood of Admin 2.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not a supporter of the current, board of so called Custodians but I do believe that Board is split and is toxic however - like him or not, Graham Wallace is trying to gradually win an incredibly complex power struggle against Easedales and their faceless backers. The appointment of Philip Nash may prove significant. time will tell! And that is why I am sympathetic to Wallace's efforts to try and keep this Club in business albeit with short term measures. He has to do something and that also includes him walking away. But for whatever reason Wallace seems intent to stay and try to drag this club through the other side.

The UoF are very good at telling both us supporters and the Board what we apparently can and cannot do. but in my opinion they are equally toxic as the Board. It is easy to say "no". I'd be far more impressed if the UoF actually told us what plan THEY have to address the problems facing the club.

Aah. forgive me. how stupid of me. That's right Chrissy boy wants our great would be saviour Dave King to come charging to the rescue. It's Dave's way or nobody's way for the UoF! Well you know what Chris Graham - why don't you tell us all what Dave boy is actually thinking. planning. suggesting.
because right now - and ever since your ill conceived ST boycott, his silence is deafening and unfortunately the b******s that comes out of your mouth every time you speak just forces me - and I believe other genuine supporters - further away from your "Cause" whatever that may actually be!

SPM

Excellent assessment of the uof and their ridiculous stance.

19 aug 2014 09:32:02
spot on

Ticketyboo72 - very well put, I agree completely.
Until WE start looking at the bigger picture the better. The club desperately needs ST sales back up to the level we had in div 2 and div 1. Ashley's cash would be welcome by most genuine fans who recognise the need is of great urgency.

Seen toxic jack with the easdale bros down at the docks is this the same toxic jack that doesn't work with the easdale bros any more of course it is the shipyard are in addmin I wonder if its duff and phelps that are handling this addmin lol

{Ed039's Note - KPMG are the administrators)

The u o f have been brainwashed by or something like being on the payroll they certainly don't have clubs interest at heart
