Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.
19 Dec 2015 18:47:38
19 wins, 3 losses, 2 defeats in all competitions this season. Hardly a disaster. Of Hibs last few league games, 6 have been one-goal victories. Brighton lost their first league game of the season today and find themselves third in the league! We can't become a bad team all of a sudden but Warburton really must change the team now. Hardie, Walsh, Murdoch, Aird, Law must all come in. All very well saying Law or Aird are crap but our team is on the slide. Game v Hibs now a MUST win!
19 Dec 2015 19:18:20
Wake up
8 points from last 6 games (18 points)
After next game against Hibs only
11 points from 21 points would be acceptable
9 out of 21 or 8/21 surely simply unacceptable
beginning to think that management and team cannot cope with pressure and board should start considering difficult decisions.
19 Dec 2015 19:47:38
he has a madgic hat.
19 Dec 2015 19:56:53
Hibs now have a better record than we do and with a budget far less than what Warburton enjoyed. Stubbs has him on toast now and the sad thing is they are no better than average.
19 Dec 2015 19:58:12
So had Tommy Cooper.
19 Dec 2015 20:14:12
I think we should wait to see what the transfer window brings. Mw has only had 1 transfer window if he brings the players in we all agree he needs we will get promoted.
19 Dec 2015 23:46:21
Warburton has put his faith in too many average players. Kiernan, Wilson and Tavernier have all been poor defensively, he has no dig in the midfield and the attack consists of 1 striker who is finished 1 striker who can't score and a striker that is like a carthorse. His team is struggling in the 2nd tier of Scottish football and would struggle to get into the top 6 in one of the worst leagues in Europe. All this with the 2nd biggest budget in Scotland.
19 Dec 2015 23:23:26
We've got a fairly decent team we just need some quality now if we had someone like Steven Davis in the middle of the park instead of Zelalem we wouldn't be having any problems.
20 Dec 2015 06:59:14
How about we just get behind the team and actually support them? Actually seen people saying Warburton should go. he's not even had a season, what is it with Scottish football fans being so fickle.
20 Dec 2015 09:45:56
Well said Cee. That is what I was trying to say. If someone had said to me at the start of this season Rangers would be top of the league at Christmas I'd have taken that. The fact it is only by goal difference doesn't matter. I still don't believe that Hibs will continue their run all season as they have scraped some fortunate one-goal wins recently. Do we really want a return to McCoist and McDowell's punt up the par, clueless football? We'll come good and win the league this season and the January window should see that we do.
20 Dec 2015 10:19:11
Doiger
Why do you think that the alternative to Warburton would be a team like the one Ally had? The team isn't much better and despite all the possession there isn't much penetration. The defence is almost as bad as it was under Ally, the midfield has no dig and our strikers are a joke. Warburton has massively under estimated the scale of the job and didn't do his homework on the type of player needed to do well in Scotland. We had a comfortable lead against a decent not great Hibs side which has gone and we were torn apart by St Johnstone. I don't see any real progress in the team and it's going to be 50/50 whether or not we win the league. As for the argument about would we have taken being top at Xmas on goal difference then the answer is no not with being 8 points ahead not that long ago. It's not good enough and if we don't win automatic promotion he has to go.
20 Dec 2015 11:46:35
Doiger
You say Hibs scraped some fortunate one-goal wins recently.
We have had a few of them ourselves and i would have gladly had more (10 points dropped in last 6 games)
20 Dec 2015 08:32:08
We do need to get behind the team Cee I totally agree but I think the team need a bit of a kick up the arse too! Even the stand of passing has dropped since the start of the season and we need to find away of getting behind the parked buses each week. Especially if its a team that can hurt us on the break and our goal with our set up is simply to score more than them rather than keeping things tight.
20 Dec 2015 15:54:24
Cee and doiger I agree with both above posts, like you say if we had been giving the option on sitting top of the league with the new players we have we would have gladly took, also m. w. has had one transfer window even that was rushed, I wonder if the supporters would have preferred Boyd, and the players we had last season?
We had to move on in the fashion we did or Boyd etc would have been like big Davy, ie expected to play into there late 30s, if we had not moved on with m. w. i would say we would have ended up finished, completely finished, end of, and I could never support any other club in our country.
19 Dec 2015 17:00:58
Hibs score in 94th minute today and into time added on last week don't see our lot digging deep like that. You couldn't make it up.
19 Dec 2015 17:44:13
Thats why there going to win the championship. Hate to say that tho but come on what is it for them unbeaten in 17 games now and we can even beat part timers.
19 Dec 2015 17:33:12
That is what champions do. And right now that's what they look like. They have 2 players that make the difference, McGinn and Cummings. This off day rubbish won't wash any more, been hearing it since St Johnston defeat.
19 Dec 2015 18:15:13
Tongue firmly in cheek here but wonder if rod petrie will come out and question the 'sporting integrity' of his players who went up the park and scored instead of giving it back to queens following Hutton's injury and the ref dropping it at their defenders feet. Stubbs said it was a drop ball and not their fault queens player didn't contest it, but then admitted he might be looking at it through 'green glasses' lol. On serious note you are quite right about championship winning teams pulling it out the fire late in games. It'll be a cracking game next week, looking forward to it.
19 Dec 2015 18:27:37
Cracking game you having a laff we away to get . Then there going 3 points clear.
19 Dec 2015 19:22:10
Sorry
We now scraping the barrel!
Falkirk should not have hit their penalty
Rangers should have scored their penalty
And Hibs should have passed the ball back to QofS!
We sound like losers!
19 Dec 2015 20:21:19
Ranger57, my comments re hibs qos match were 100% tongue in cheek (as I stated at the start) aimed at the sporting integrity contingent who frequented this page last year and I only made them due to petrie leading that particular charge back in the day, not as any sort of excuse. Of course I'm not seriously suggesting foul play, they still had 80 yards to go and Queens should've played to the whistle. As for us then neither were penalties so no gripe there from me either. They scored their freebie and we missed ours, simple as that. It will be a cracking game next week imo, personally I'm looking forward to it and still think we will win it.
19 Dec 2015 16:01:52
Again trying to walk the ball into the net, alarm bells ringing weak in midfield, poor upfront, can't change tactics, everybody knows our set up, on the plus side a certain Mr mourhino is looking for a job (maybe he would consider charity work) merry Christmas to all my fellow bears.
19 Dec 2015 19:28:37
Maybe do a swap befor Warburton value falls too much?
19 Dec 2015 15:14:27
Anyone else think vaulks is the tough tackling kind of midfielder we're missing, the boy was excellent today.
19 Dec 2015 17:40:33
Good player would take him all day long was brillant the day for them.
19 Dec 2015 16:14:30
Quite simply the tactics are rubbish. We are tip tappy in every department and due to the all out passing game we lack steel. Our midfield is non-existent and we lack direction. Warburton wants to waken up and get a plan B.
We don't have a midfield general and our wingers are worse than two men short. Unless we waken up we will end up in the never ending circle ---- right up our own ronson lighter.
19 Dec 2015 15:47:54
We need to sort the central defence out for sure but that is not the biggest worry for me. We have like 65-70% possession most games and the fwd players are doing sod all. Barry Mckay is hopeless, No skill to take a man on and his final ball is shocking. I've never seen anything to like about him tbh.
Then we have that person Waghorn. Most of his goals have came from the spot and people are talking about him as if he's a predator. He is never a striker in a million years. That's two games in a row he has been totally posted missing. He's too greedy, first his touch is terrible and he is pi** poor out wide too. He is a squad player at best. We need 2 central defender, left winger, right winger and a striker for going up next year.
We will go up i think quite easily but we'll be embarrassing if we don't get these particular positions sorted.
19 Dec 2015 16:06:38
Time for changes. Get Thompson and hardie in the team straight away because make no mistake about it this is a crisis! If hibs beat us next week I can't see us getting promoted.
19 Dec 2015 17:52:54
Far too harsh on mackay imo mate, never hid, scored a great goal, took his man to the cleaners a couple of times plus lovely bit of skill to squeeze past two defenders then great pull back to law who hit the bar. Thought he did his job well today. Two players were the main problem for me. Kiernan had an absolute shocker. Twice passed the ball straight to a falkirk player less than ten yards away, defensively appalling and his decision making was terrible all game, not for the first time. Waghorn was equally as poor the entire game, broke down every time it went to him. Why, after a performance like that he was allowed to take the pen was beyond me, I'd have put halliday on it, plus not a single rangers player followed it in. I'd question the subs too, out of the two Wilson was better (slightly) than kiernan and oduwa did far more than waghorn during the match, but those two in particular seem to be untouchable. Hey ho, onto next week.
19 Dec 2015 20:00:21
we need a right back.
19 Dec 2015 21:21:07
We have a quality CB out on loan that last season was getting glowing reports. Get on the phone and get him back from Morton. Can't be any worse than these so called defenders we are playing now. Give youth a chance they say, well, let's do what you preach and get Davie Weir to work extra hours with our bunch of donkeys.
We are on a slide as confidence has gone and no creativity to break down two lines of four that EACH team plays with against us. Never heard so much drivel from MW, we do plan A better for plan B. Even the best managers/coaches in the world change tactics to counteract the team playing against.
Why don't we need to do that?
People down south have said for years about Arsenal style of play and need to put ball into box at times and find a new Viera for midfield and Wright for scoring. Does this sound familiar? What trophies have they won with this style of play (until last season) , nothing. Is this what we want, attractive football but getting nothing to show for it in our trophy room. I certainly don't.
19 Dec 2015 15:29:20
Get Kane hemmings back in january! Proper striker.
19 Dec 2015 14:40:41
Another disappointing display, performance and result. All the so called "wee teams" put in a shift and have a much greater desire to win than we do.
All this possession and nice play doesn't guarantee a win and the manager doesn't seem to know that his tactics have been sussed.
What's the point in the possession football playing narrow when teams sit in an deploy two banks of 4 and hit on the break while we have two central defenders who can't defend and are painfully slow.
Oduwa flatters to deceive and isn't big enough or brave enough for this team.
The honeymoon is over and a few decent defenders and some steel in the midfield in the January window or we will struggle to get the play offs.
Time to wake up.
19 Dec 2015 14:58:37
Think you need to add a striker that can score to to list as well. Miller done Clarke can't score and questions must be asked about Waghorn's bottle 2 important penalties missed now and was lucky to get away with the first one.
19 Dec 2015 15:37:41
Hopefully this will act as a big kick up the rear end. Got to perform much better against hibs.
Tactics and lack of responsibility from players is the problem here, as well as lack of any kind of plan b. Teams know if they defend the box we will struggle to break them down and that when they get the ball simply put it into the channels and its a 50/50 chase with Wilson or Kiernan. They are both getting pelters from fans but it would take a really good central defender to plug the gaps we leave.
Iv been blasted on this forum for being negative but I really don't see what there is to be positive about. Things were so bad last year that MW has had a very easy ride in terms of criticism. It is worth considering that Brentford faded at end of last season and I know of two players who publicly criticized MW - one claimed they never done any set piece work (do we-doesn't look like it) and the other blasted nieve tactics that cost them promotion. Before I get the Brentford aren't a big enough club to get promoted- Bournemouth aren't either.
We desperately need to invest, yes the club is in a weak financial position but the board have made clear promises to "spend whatever is required". If the club doesn't have it we need the shareholders to raise it- just like we were promised they would. DK needs to prove he is an honourable man and not a shambles Gibb who is more determined to fight a pointless battle with MA that is harmful to the club.
We need a defensive midfielder to help plug the gaps and stop us being so easily exposed on counter. Personally I would not spend here and bring back Murdoch from his loan. He was a stand out last season and I'm very disappointed he hasn't had a look in this season.
We need a playmaker with a bit of craft and guile. Someone who can dictate the pace of the game and stop us aimlessly passing the ball which allows the opposition all the time in the world to organize the defence.
We need a tall strong target man style forward who also is decent with his feet. Would offer a different option and ask questions that we are currently browsing unable to. Would make us much more difficult to defend against.
In an ideal world a penalty box poacher would be a great help also.
Cue the negative Luigi abuse.
19 Dec 2015 15:58:24
the wee teams sit in i counted a few times today falkirk had a line of 6 across the back, doesn't matter how quick you move the ball up the park they all have their defence ready to move back into blocking position and of course the oppostion keeper plays a blinder.
19 Dec 2015 17:21:15
Luigi
How many kicks up the backside does a team need? This was said after the defeat to Hibs and the draws to Livingston and Morton. The bottom line is that the team is average with some really poor players and a vastly overrated manager who confesses to have no plan B.
19 Dec 2015 17:28:40
Lungi when we started the league so well we were the best thing since sliced bread, now the team have went slightly off the boil we get fans on here having a right go at the team. I support the team whether they win or lose, and the manager, so we finally lose our second game of this league campaign, but are still sitting on top of the league.
I'm looking forward to m.w. getting new players in his 2nd transfer window. we are a team assembled a few months ago so give the team a break guys. like I say I support my club win, lose or draw, i am not a glory hunter. m.w. and our club are in the process of building a team that will be good enough to play in top league, this will take time, Rome was not built in a day.
19 Dec 2015 19:33:36
Billy bluenose
Hibs were 11 behind in October!
They are level now - this is hardly acceptable or we will be picking over the bones in the Championship next season again.
19 Dec 2015 20:00:26
Billybluenose
So I take it that you supported Ally and then McDowall when they were the managers and you would have quite happily seen either stay?
19 Dec 2015 22:14:14
100% agree with you Billy. All these folk on here up in arms over a few bad results is absolutely laughable. We are playing good sharp crisp football. We just need a goal scorer more than anything else. If we start to bang the goals in then we will be fine.
20 Dec 2015 15:04:11
rangers 57 I suppose we will just have to wait and see if we get promoted, but I me very confident of going up, and don't see why our supporters (allegedly) are panicking ffs it's not even Xmas and our supporters are panicking, get a grip guys, go to the games and show your support for the club.
19 Dec 2015 14:40:19
looking like league reconstruction might be our best option?
SAD isn't it?
Time for an explanation Warbs me thinks.
19 Dec 2015 14:59:15
Yeah the so called magic hat has made a comfortable lead disappear.
19 Dec 2015 15:45:51
makes you wonder if Warbs has bumped into McCoist and McDowell? something has rubbed off on him and it ain't dogshit!
19 Dec 2015 16:00:30
we would struggle to be top half in the SPL with this team.
So obvious we need a defence, not just defensive cover. Couldn't keep weans oot a close. Also need a proper striker.
Most bears know this but the manager fails to impress me if i am honest.
Just watched us getting turned over by Falkirk and even wasting our get out of jail card. At this rate we might not even get a play off place this season.
Tell you what though. A win against Hibs is a MUST.
If we don't and they get Stokes and Allen on loan, i would make them favs for top spot.
19 Dec 2015 15:18:52
He's looking for a way out and the players have responded accordingly. Its so plain to see.
19 Dec 2015 16:34:19
Gosman i don't really understand how you can work out that if they get stokes and allan in it would make his favourites, this is 2 guys that can't get a game for there own club, but my main point is how would they be favourites when you don't know who we will be bringing in.
19 Dec 2015 16:57:59
Billy, quite simple really.
Hibs are a decent team and those two would strengthen them.
Fact they are not getting a game for the unwashed is neither here nor there.
We don't have one single player that would get in their team either if we are being honest and not wearing our blue tinted specs.
You are right that i don't know who we will get in but i don't see us getting in what we really need and that is about 6 players (yes 6) that would be first team picks because that is how many that are not worthy of a Rangers jersey.
A decent manager wouldn't go amiss either!
19 Dec 2015 17:31:55
Gosman I agree that we need about 6 new players this window just to freshen things up, but I also think m. w. must be giving more time to get his own team playing his own style of football.
19 Dec 2015 23:21:13
Gosman also it doesn't matter if none of our players would get into the celtic team as they are not in the same league as us So we don't need to think of them until we get promoted, IMHO.
19 Dec 2015 14:32:05
We are not good enough, yet again players playing well below their abilities.
We are far too predictable took many passes and trying to walk the ball, into the net.
I don't think our players can play on artificial pitches, far to often we were second on the loose balls, lost out on simple tackles and too slow turning with the ball.
what on earth is wrong with Tarviner, can't Cross a ball, slow at getting back.
MW you need to start showin that you are a good manager and change how we play our game some as teams know how we will play as we are so predictable.
19 Dec 2015 16:06:35
If it wasn't for his goals he would be viewed as a complete flop. He can not defend and is causing chaos with central defenders being forced to cover where he should be. Richard foster anyone? Perhaps not.
19 Dec 2015 14:31:56
Hibs are going to be rubbing
their. hands
We need all players to stop
Talking and start performing
really was there any pass marks
in the. team today maybe wes.
19 Dec 2015 14:46:49
Totally agree too much talk from players about what they are going to do and how much better they are compared to all the others!
Possibly too late now Hibs are right back from being 11 points behind and are looking to loan Allan back from Celtic in January.
19 Dec 2015 15:00:51
Brownmac
Spot on mate I'm tired of hearing that the players are angry after a bad result. That's wearing very thin now.
19 Dec 2015 15:48:55
This has not just been a problem for a few weeks- we have been struggling for a while now (only cup game against st mitten as an exception) .
It's as simple as we have been found out. Defend your box and hit balls into the channels on counter and our defence splits wide open. No plan b. Far too slow getting ball forward, defence in position by the time we do. % possession means nothing. Goals decide games.
We have got away with it in some games as with respect against very limited opposition, but against the better teams we have been exposed time and time again.
Hopefully we don't loose against hibs but if I didn't have a rule not to bet against my team I would definitely put some cash on a hibs win. Stubbs arrogant smirk will be on full show.
It's not all Doom and gloom as we can fix these problems if MW has it in him to change tactics (? ) And if we buy the right players in January and quickly.
First thing we should do is send back the two spurs lads.
19 Dec 2015 14:28:45
Think it's time to take waghorn of penalty duties that's the second one he's missed when we've really needed it got away with it last time just.
19 Dec 2015 14:26:02
Nuff said.
19 Dec 2015 14:42:28
Time for change before it is too late.
19 Dec 2015 15:27:19
The pressure is getting 2 much for the players n its showing. Kiernans been terrible aw season. he's cought out every week n still 1st choice. If he wants to play so far up the park surely he should try filling that dm position n give ball n wilson a chance at back.
19 Dec 2015 14:24:22
How is it every keeper we come up against seems to have the game of his life when playing us?
19 Dec 2015 14:41:37
It shouldn't matter!
19 Dec 2015 15:02:44
BorderRanger
Keeper had nothing to do with another 2 goals we shipped again similar to the poor goals we lost last week. It's to simplistic to say it's down to keepers playing well against us.
19 Dec 2015 14:23:35
Another "bad day at office" but no problems only second defeat etc etc? !
8 points from last 6 games - hardly champion material may even struggle to get to the playoffs if this continues
This form is not unlucky this form is is simply poor!
Hope people start pulling their head out of the sand before it is too late
Meanwhile Hibs are going from strength to strength - top of league by end of year unless we scrape a draw next week!
19 Dec 2015 14:23:29
missed penalty in injury time. kind of sums it up . we HAVE a lot to worry about now.
19 Dec 2015 16:09:48
Was never a pen anyway, neither was there's- that's Scottish football best ref in action.
19 Dec 2015 14:06:00
another observation today, yet again we can do NOTHING with corners. We have lost our way somewhere along the road and like last season too it's going all wrong at the same time it did last year. If we lose today that means in 6 games we'll have picked up 8 points from 18. PATHETIC in my opinion.
No excuses, the team is full of under achievers and we'd better watch out or it could be play-offs again, AT BEST.
19 Dec 2015 14:31:47
Totally agree. under achevers. a long ball over top and we can't defend. shocking. this three at back and defending high is not working. kenny miller better not open his mouth, ie. we will win nxt week pish. do your talkin on the park. kiernan is starting to become a bomb scare.
19 Dec 2015 15:19:26
Totally agree with the corner thing, never won a header from any of them, thought keirnan was a bombscare today, if it wasnt for foderingham it woulda been a whole lot worse.
19 Dec 2015 15:56:51
Look at comments by some of the Brentford lads after MW left
One claimed they NEVER done ANY set piece work at all. None. It's quite easy to think that it may well be the same here.
Another blasted his naive tactics and lack of plan b claimed cost them promotion. Let's hope that's not the case again.
Hibs are looking strong, look happy and have momentum. Worried I am.
19 Dec 2015 14:14:54
Said it last week and i'll say it again Mw must go now while we have a chance of getting something outta this season.
19 Dec 2015 14:23:51
I would'nt the manager just now, but King has step up with money.
19 Dec 2015 14:01:17
JusT walked out the game v Falkirk, what a joke, clueless, as I've been saying for weeks I've seen oil tankers, fully loaded, turning quicker than our back two, tavernire is all over the shop, he should be defending more, as for the rest, total crap, out muscled again, not a clue tact ally, this is Falkirk for **** sake.
19 Dec 2015 13:56:46
Im all for this free flowing, all out attack but surely MW must see when its not working, does he have anything else up his sleeve, plus the players don't run at defenders, only McKay i have noticed doing so and when he does it makes for better play, c'mon warbs shake it up a bit.
19 Dec 2015 14:18:16
Mw don't have nothing up his sleeve or is magic hat as people call him. get rid of him now i say what a joke today.
19 Dec 2015 14:42:47
I canny believe someone has just said Warburton should go. That's the usual for some so called fans only support the team when we are winning.
19 Dec 2015 16:02:53
Of course he shouldn't be sacked at the moment but he should be warned that results must improve within a short space of time. I like the guy but it's not taken long for his weakness to be exposed. Against very mediocre opposition.
He needs to be given money to spend and be given a chance in January. I suspect he will walk if the money he was promised doesn't materialize- I think the links with Fulham were no accident.
19 Dec 2015 12:59:08
striker worth a look is Jordan Owens of Crusaders in Northern Ireland, 26 years old, 6ft 2ins scores for fun and is knocking on the international team door.
Dont think it would take too much to get him,
19 Dec 2015 13:40:10
Having watched irish league football over the years wee bill I have to say I don't think he is good enough for us. In my opinion he is a level below Liam boyce and 2 levels below former linfied striker Peter Thompson in irish league terms. But suppose u never no. But it is certainly a market we should be looking at some good players over years have played in it including Stuart dallas who is a cracking wee player.
19 Dec 2015 12:42:27
Anyone else agree that Danny Wilson has no pace and always seems like he is on his heels? watching the Falkirk game and the tackle he made for the penalty (just outside the box) was a good 2-3 yards off the pace, to add to that, keirnan ain't that great either. we need new centre backs, and quick.
19 Dec 2015 13:25:15
he's definitely NOT the dominant player he was with Hearts last season.
perhaps he is suffering from a big head because he was head hunted? don't know for sure, but he definitely has changed for the worse.
19 Dec 2015 13:03:23
They're a pair a dumplins.
Your heart is in your mouth any time Keirnan goes near the ball. Why have Oduwa on the park if he won't attack the full back either?
19 Dec 2015 13:50:20
I'm not a massive Kiernan fan but our tactics are the problem not them. Every time we use the ball both fullbacks are miles out of position and there is so much space for balls to be played into, wison and Kiernan then get dragged out of position into a chase.
How MW can't see this is beyond me, any half decent team can expose this. At a higher level we will be punished far more often than in championship.

Interesting to see that Dean Shiels is in midfield today alongside Halliday and Holt. Wilson returns at the back - he needs to start playing for his place. Shiels starting coincides with some fans' comments on here over the last few days about giving him a run. 3-0 today would do just fine!

The side looks to have a better balance about it. I think Wilson is the better option rather than Ball. Hope he doesn't let me down - 3-0 Rangers.

We would be better off with double act cannon and ball instead of Wilson never mind Dominic ball.

Thank goodness for fotheringham, or at 60 mins we could easily have conceded 4 or 5. Some great saves have kept us in this
Usual story, pointless possession and far too easy for them to sit in and counter.

Is it just me or would anyone else love to see kyle Bartley back at rangers.

Not a decent centre half in my eyes I would prefer a leader which we haven't got!

He's better than any defender in Scotland lol.

I think the lad is worth considering. Definitely good enough for the top flight. Was at Swansea last I heard? Would his wages not be a problem?

Calling occupant of interplanetary craft, this is planet earth speaking. Only you I hope. Never mind the thing called money, which we have in short supply, most have their minds on 3 points today. 5-0 would be great but a scrappy 2-1 with a 93rd minute winner will do.

Agreed kfraser. We can't be expected to (and won't) win every game 4-0 or 5-0 so a win is a win. Beat Falkirk today and Hibs on 28th December and we'll be on the way. Also, there is now way Hibs will continue their run and they are bound to hit a bat patch soon. Looking forward to watching two live Rangers games in the Ibrox Bar in Tenerife in January! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all fellow Bears (and even to the odd troll from the east end who invades this space) .

All the best Doiger! Hope you have plenty to shout about.

I seem to remember people saying Hearts couldn't keep it going last year as well!

Hearts had a better side last season that was more solid and offered a more potent goal threat up front.
We have been found out and were lucky not to conceded a few more today.
Play like this against hibs and we will dominate the ball and loose the game. Stubbs must be rubbing his hands together.
