I’m right behind Gerrard, he’s is making enormous strides, we were at least 6 years behind Celtic when he arrived and he’s almost closed the gap already in such a short time with a lesser budget . His record in Europe has been outstanding, way above expectations before we kick a ball in our next tie, refs robbed him of his first trophy not Fraser foster, the goal was offside, undeniable so gets the tag ‘robbed ‘regardless of excuses . I also think our current slump is due to a lot of different things, 1. Morelos has been tamed, constant berating and cards which are petulant from a refereeing standard have had an effect, he needs to not be a deer in the headlights and get back to his fire n fury like everyone else in the spl although he ain’t as malice, focus on bringing his game back and don't Let the B’s get u down, 2 Ryan jack is back and was sorely missed, most improved player in Scotland for me and undermined how big his absence was 3.hagi is beginning to gel, and is exactly for me as Gerrard described, the spark we need, gets better by each game and for me it was jack or hagi as many of the match v Livingston 4 Barisic is back And apart from Morelos when on fire he’s our best outfield player in an attacking sense, more assists than Kent from a deeper role 🤔 also I think our defence has been amazing and Goldson has been absolutely solid although gets stuck here, an ever ready performer like our badge used to say ‘ever ready ‘ yes the ‘odd’ mistake but when it comes to defending an ‘odd’ mistake is completely bearable, Katic and Edmundson have been great as well, although I prefer Katic and don’t think he should’ve been dropped after the Aberdeen game cause a clean sheet is a clean sheet after all is said n done, but it’s good to keep him on his toes so I don’t really have any complaints, Gerrard is just trying to get a steady ship, where u perform for 90 minutes week in week out, which is what titles are made of huh 🤔.



19 Feb 2020 23:21:11
Goldson cost us goals at a Pittodrie, Tynecastle and Rugby Park for a start. He gave away a needless free kick at Hampden which led to their goal and gave away Edouard’s goal at Ibrox this season. Lucky not to concede a penalty at Hamilton last week for that ridiculous hand ball so please don’t make him out to be a superstar.



19 Feb 2020 23:44:06
Lesser budget than who? he's spent 20 mill. I like gerrard but he has wasted a lot of money on poor buys.



20 Feb 2020 02:15:26
Where did you get “at least 6 years” from out of curiosity?



20 Feb 2020 07:36:52
Nearly every pundet and so called experts in the game said it would take Rangers 10 years and 50 million plus to compete with Celtic. Remember when just 2 n half years ago they pumped us on our own patch 5 nothing and that score flattered Rangers.

Regarding lesser budget the dims spent 20 mill on 3 players. SG has got 35 players for the same 20 million. That's the level of re building that we have had to do.

We are now at a level where we are competing with them. Yes our form this month hasn't been good however outwith the hearts game, poor refereeing has cost us the other lost points and a cup. Also injury and suspension of key players in the last month have had an effect.

Our form and results in europe is up there in the top 20 teams in both in the eufa and CL.

Yet some on here want SG replaced as I said remember 2 n half years ago ko d by progress and getting beat 5 coming on 10 nil in our own patch by the dims.



20 Feb 2020 09:36:46
Good post Gaz, I intend to agree wi the replies that Goldson is a bit of a scaremonger at times.

He seems to dilly dally in front of our own goal when he has the ball looking like he doesn't know what to do next.

I am always looking through my fingers waiting for him to passback to our goalie then an opposition striker nicking the ball off him.



20 Feb 2020 17:06:31
Yeah Goldson Does have the odd error but our defence as a whole is performing excellent and as far as I can see we have let in the same amount of goals as Celtic this year, compared to letting in 7 more than them last year at the end of the season . For me goalkeeper to defence has been solid and even improved on last year, our defence is better than celtics in my opinion and wouldn’t be getting jip if we were winnings games they have the odd blip by out scoring the teams . . We are 18 goals or so behind them in goals scored, Its the lack of goals and assists from others other than Morelos that’s really costing us, and blaming someone for a goal scored from a free kick they gave in an old firm is harsh, there’s free kicks a plenty in old firms 😂😂😂.



20 Feb 2020 17:11:18
If we are competing with them, how come we are 10 points and 18 goals behind them? They don't look like dropping points when they go into a game and I'm never convinced that we look likely to win when we do.



19 Feb 2020 22:06:01
5,000 at rugby park---real passionate fans down Ayrshire way.



19 Feb 2020 20:43:19
Watching spurs game. Got to say what a good team red bull look and there coach is only 32. Surely I heard that wrong.



19 Feb 2020 21:50:20
Fauldhoose, that club are rotten to the core and the most hated club in Germany ✌️.



19 Feb 2020 22:49:50
Did not know that but I did check the coach out and what a record he has. 28 got the job with hoffenheim 7 points from safety and kept them up, then following season finished 4th and in champions league 1st time ever. Now with red bull. So maybe experience is not everything.



{Ed001's Note - if you want to read a bit more about him: Julian Nagelsmann profile. One of the brightest young prospects in football.}

19 Feb 2020 23:39:56
Thanks ed. Had not heard about him till tonight. Very impressed with the way red bull played.



19 Feb 2020 23:45:13
Guys read this it's some set up for a young man. German coaching seems to be the best about the now.



19 Feb 2020 23:45:39
Yately were the most hated club in Scotland. what's your point caller?



20 Feb 2020 02:16:10
Rotten? They just have money and the traditional powers like Bayern don’t like it.



20 Feb 2020 07:58:00
RB Leipzig are hated but certainly not "rotten to the core". They are hated because RB bought Leipzig and it was perceived that they bought their way to success. They initially invested quite a bit of money but now they have a very sound business model and their net spend is very little. They have a signing policy that they only sign young players that can be developed and sold for huge profits. So the hatred towards them seems to be out of jealousy as they are an exceptionally well run club.



{Ed001's Note - it is nothing to do with that. You are miles away from the truth. They are hated because they are not fan-owned. The rules in Germany mean clubs have to have majority fan ownership and they are majority owned by RB instead. That is why ticket prices in the Bundesliga are so low and the clubs run at a profit still.}

19 Feb 2020 20:08:17
How bout we design our own kit or bring back a retro one without the Nike umbro or Hummel etc. No money from the sponsor but every penny will be ours. No branding so Ashley shouldn't be able to claim a penny or anyone else. All ours. Put on Glasgow somewhere for city promotion (except the dark side) and be independent manufacturers.



19 Feb 2020 20:29:05
We tried this before in the david murray years and the quality of our kit was not good, to say the least mate! Get a global giant associated with us again ie. adidas or nike.



19 Feb 2020 22:13:01
No offence to Hummel but I would argue the quality of our kit just now isn’t good, lost count how many people I know including myself who washed their kit once and the decals etc fell off, maybe that’s why they are looking to change 🤔 and no it wasn’t on a hot wash I’m not 10.



20 Feb 2020 00:21:21
My tops held up really well tbh.



19 Feb 2020 19:33:27
When Gerrard signed many fans would've been happy if we stopped 10 iar no matter when. Next season will be Gerrard 3rd full season and we are getting there but it takes time to change the mentality of players and of fans as well. We need to give him next season to rip it all up and start again would be too expensive and I think would definitely hand 10 iar.



19 Feb 2020 20:30:54
We haven't lost this season's league Onewaltersmith! They haven't got 9iar as yet, incase you've forgot.



19 Feb 2020 21:18:00
they will get 9 in a row were not good enough to go rest of season un beating then they will throw big money getting ten i fear we may go bust trying to catch them the main man King is leaving so were the money comming from.



19 Feb 2020 17:38:44
Rangers invite manufacturers to tender for making of new strips for next season.



19 Feb 2020 17:55:44
That's it official now John25.It most definitely is the end of hummel as our kit manufacturers! I really liked their designs and my only fault was they couldn't make enough and keep up with the demand of a club our size. Bisgrove will get us a new manufacturing deal with one of the big sportswear firms, i've got no doubt about it! I wonder who?



19 Feb 2020 18:10:46
I disliked Hummel - quite simply because while the shirt design this season was excellent, their cheap 'arrow' shoulder and arm trim absolutely ruined it. I know it's a Hummel trademark but it stopped me getting a shirt this year.



19 Feb 2020 18:10:56
I was hearing that our next sponsorship deal could be adidas However Hummel have due us 3m and what happens with the naming rights of Auchenhowie? Dies it remain as Hummel Centre? As long, as we cut all ties with the crook my I don't care.



19 Feb 2020 18:23:56
we still had a year to go with hummel don't think they just walked away from the deal no company would also dosnt matter who comes in Ashley only needs to match it and he gets the deal.



19 Feb 2020 18:36:59
PS we had no option - we'd been legally banned from selling Hummel from next season anyway.



19 Feb 2020 18:41:56
Will any company bid to be our kit suppliers? None of the big guys will be interested? So probably Umbro and Puma the only candidates😢🇬🇧.



19 Feb 2020 18:51:49
Big blue bear deal ends may because of a court order. Ashley matching deal no longer in forge, also by court order.



19 Feb 2020 19:37:58
Ashley still has the right to appeal and he will its just a game to him.



19 Feb 2020 20:34:18
He can't stop us going with another kit manufacturer though mate. We will eventually pay a sum of money to be rid of this waster ashley and then we can move on without his shadow hanging over us. It will be a pay off and that will be it.



19 Feb 2020 17:22:22
New year was first time i have seen tims actually show fear. Despite what they say now, they thought we had them. as did i! However getting closer and still trust gerard and majority of team. As long as they represent the team i follow they will get my backing. Still not convinced its over.



19 Feb 2020 18:24:44
Delusional, it's over!



19 Feb 2020 19:13:44
We blew it stop living in fantasy land.



19 Feb 2020 19:35:48
Never stop believing until its mathematically impossible.



19 Feb 2020 15:29:40
Match-fixing is the process of intentionally losing a game, through players performing poorly on purpose OR CORRUPT OFFICIALS. just a thought given what we've witnessed.



19 Feb 2020 20:43:39
What thought have you had. what have you witnessed? Go on Ferintosh don't keep us in suspense.



19 Feb 2020 14:49:06
I've just seen we've been fined £15,000 for the Hibs and Celtic incidents, £10K to be paid now, and £5K suspended until the end of the season. Apparently 2/ 3rd is relating to the Morelos gesture, Let's see how we react to this considering the Taylor incident for Celtic when he gestured similarly with nothing said or done. We cannot sit back any longer and take this.



19 Feb 2020 15:59:44
on the same day that they say that there is also no case to answer for the Thumb liking the bigoted tweet.



19 Feb 2020 17:03:25
Told you there would be no action against the thumb.



19 Feb 2020 14:30:16
So rangers get a £15000 fine from SFA, his and Celtic involved in the same incidents and have been finex £5000 and £10000 respectivley with only a certain amount due now and the rest at the end of the season. Now how is that fair? Haha that's insane man. That's like two guys punch each other about and one gets jail, n one gets a fine.



19 Feb 2020 20:44:51
Oh Dear.



19 Feb 2020 11:33:57
Just seen Taylor make the he's finished gesture, surely the same as Alfie done.



19 Feb 2020 12:44:22
Aye, saw that as well but no investigation yet, has one been started? .



19 Feb 2020 12:52:04
It was just pure banter lol.



19 Feb 2020 17:18:37
aye but he knew the match was being shown in columbia so its ok.


wdw.



19 Feb 2020 17:31:18
I don't think it is fair to compare Taylor's gesture as he was telling the bench his game was over and needed to be subbed. Morelos gesture was aimed at the Tic fans, totally different context.



19 Feb 2020 18:19:47
so it was a game over gesture, same as Alfie's? Who's to know he wasn't gesturing to a sheep player? How would that be treated differently?



19 Feb 2020 18:28:33
well said Bizzy mate to many fans want to watch what the tims are doing and not focus how pish we have become big big 3 weeks comming up Europa Scottish cup and can't drop any more points before the tims game can't see us getting past braga over 2 legs hearts will be very tough less said about the league the better not looking good.



19 Feb 2020 21:23:04
Aye, and too many of our Fans have nothing good to say about the Club, makes me wonder if the dark side are doing impressions again? Nothing has been decided yet, so let's wait and see who wins what.



19 Feb 2020 22:19:43
How was Morelos gesture aimed at the tic fans? Are u a Celtic fan provocateur? He was signalling that he was booked in extra extra time that should never had been added on if the referee wasn’t so biased, he was basically saying the game is over why am I even being booked . If it wasn’t for the ref adding extra time to added extra time while there was no incidents to justify it then he wouldn’t have done the cut the game gesture.



19 Feb 2020 11:27:37
Time to cut our losses and get a more experienced manager, SG has not got the proper attitude to win a league up here, too much time in the epl with over hyped players being told they're great players. Back to basics a terrifying back four, battling warriors in the mid and big guy little guy up front wins this league.



19 Feb 2020 12:07:31
You literally just posted Dykes, Cosgrove and Brophy is that the level we are at .

Now you’ve posted we need a big guy little guy up front?

Dykes and Brophy or Cosgrove and Brophy up front there’s your big guy little guy there

Morelos is off form but give me him over them any day .

Can’t see any of the three mentioned scoring goals at European level .

Got my ticket for tomorrow come on the Famous Glasgow Rangers.



19 Feb 2020 12:21:53
Dunnit only seen your posts recently, and all you can say is time to start again, oh my god have you no memmory of what it takes.



19 Feb 2020 12:29:32
dunnit sounds like what hearts tried and is out of date even with better players. you're missing the x factor. speed.



19 Feb 2020 13:20:11
Correct, but I would want our big striker and small striker to be of a higher quality, cheers pal.



19 Feb 2020 14:46:36
Sorry people but i agree way h dunnit but i'm sore il get shot at point blank range fur it.



19 Feb 2020 15:49:05
Where are you getting the money to buy these 10 new players to win us the league and an experienced manager (60 year old+ ) who still likes to play that way?
And pay the current crop of players we have? And sack Gerrard and his back room staff? Oh and old timers don’t normally like to work under a DOF either, so he’ll have to go as well!
Aye good luck with all that. 👍😂👍.



19 Feb 2020 16:27:16
Dunnit rip up and start again! how do we pay him and staff off how do we fund new players how do we get rid of what this new saviour doesn’t want? absolute nonsense post mate sorry.



19 Feb 2020 18:26:48
Big striker, little striker is aff the ark man. Stone Age football. A 4-4-2 would get ripped apart nowadays.



19 Feb 2020 18:29:16
IF dunnit is right, then the real question is who created this mess.



19 Feb 2020 10:11:15
Maybe it's this rotten weather, maybe it's this run of poor performances, maybe it's because we are skint, maybe its because there's a dressing room fallout, maybe its because players being made to play out of their natural positions, the list goes on and on.

MAYBE IT'S WE ARE JUS NOT GOOD ENOUGH JUST NOW.

Lets see how we get on tommorrow before we get anymore maybe's.



19 Feb 2020 10:43:04
Aye maybe or maybe you need to take other peoples opinions on board lol.



19 Feb 2020 12:27:35
Scotty other peoples opinions are as valid as mine so what's the problem mate.

It's not for me to take on opinions, they are usually directed to Stevie who could not care less about them, if he did read them on here that is.

He has paid advisors to do that I would immagine.



19 Feb 2020 12:56:50
@scotty123 my opinion is valid as anyone's so please try and understand the fundamentals of a forum.



19 Feb 2020 12:59:47
Don't quite get your point scotty123, is there a point to your post or just a wee dig at the op.



19 Feb 2020 14:46:53
It was a dig at OP, maybe the aforementioned is people’s opinions on the current performance levels and he’s telling people to wait till after a game before expressing an opinion on a forum lol aye ok mate.



19 Feb 2020 09:30:19
Dykes, Cosgrove or Brophy is that now the level we're really looking at. Disgraceful if that is truly the standard we have to accept.



19 Feb 2020 09:48:24
Got to agree Harry, we should be playing with some of the younger academy boys.



19 Feb 2020 09:56:51
I agree H Dunnit. Surely we haven't become that desperate? Morelos is class but something isn't right with him at the moment and Defoe is also class but injured. We must be able to afford another striker at a higher level than other SPL strikers (with all respect) or give our kids a chance!



19 Feb 2020 12:59:37
Fans going on about Alfie not Being right imo he's had 2 good goals disallowed in the last 2 games.



19 Feb 2020 16:40:56
R Neely you agree that experienced SPL players in Cosgrove Brophy and dykes are below our standard but you want to play untried at top spl level players from youth set up? If gaffer done that he’d have usual suspects on here slaughtering him it’s beyond a joke with some posters on here now regarding manager.



Listen With Mother: Ed1 and his Mum

19 Feb 2020 09:06:42
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new podcast entitled, Listen With Mother: Ed1 and his Mum



19 Feb 2020 02:09:21
Evening, bears. New to the page so take it easy on me please. Like all of my fellow true blues I've been bitterly disappointed with the performances and results since we came back from the winter break. And then to hear a real Rangers man like Hugh Burns talk cryptically about it's his understanding that something happened in Dubai. It breaks my heart to see this league slipping away from us like this. Has anybody heard what went on in Dubai that Shug was alluding to? Surely it can't have been as bad as the performances seem to suggest.



19 Feb 2020 06:11:44
Haven't got a clue mate. if anything did happen it'll eventually come out.



19 Feb 2020 07:28:44
Single fish pal.



19 Feb 2020 08:38:14
Welcome Blue, it doesn't really matter what went on in Dubai, the fact is, our players are paid very handsomely to perform, and they have let us down badly since the break. Any player who is not playing to their full potential because of any situation in Dubai should be chased by us, they're not worthy of a jersey if that was true. I would agree with iggle, that the press would have been all over anything like that because it's us, but, if true, it will all come out at some point.



19 Feb 2020 08:51:40
Ibrox Noise published something a couple of weeks ago that Gerard has lost the dressing room. Apparently him and Morelos had a fall out and the squad took Morelos's side and they're no longer playing for him.



19 Feb 2020 08:58:01
If that was case no way would it stay behind closed doors there is always a “leak” to try and forces the boards hand
Did some thing happen same time last year as same thing happened then?



19 Feb 2020 11:11:13
Why would the dressing room take Morelos side when he’s looking to move on and would be leaving most of his teammates behind anyway?
I’m calling BS on that story!



19 Feb 2020 12:08:08
Mr struts Ibrox noise rights nothing but absolute garbage.



19 Feb 2020 14:09:47
Agree john. Ibrox noise and football insider are 2 of the biggest lots of garbage ever written none of which is true.



19 Feb 2020 14:15:44
John25 it never ceases to astound me that fans actually read this mince then quote it as a source of Rangers 'news'. It's actually dreadful.



19 Feb 2020 15:04:44
I wasn't quoting it as a source of "news". The initial poster asked a question if anyone had heard anything. There's too much slagging other fans off here sometimes.



19 Feb 2020 17:33:56
Sir struts no one is slagging anyone off if Rangers noise ever post anything correct it will be a first. I’m told it’s a sheep that does their posts as a wind up.
