Glad Coleman knocked us back! His club record is awful!



19 Nov 2017 18:59:19
Did he really knock us back?

Yeah he was interviewed but he wasn’t offered it by the board there n then Sunderland came in n he went. i might be wrong



19 Nov 2017 23:34:23
No one has been offered the job. Lots have been spoken to, this is more media bs! I don’t believe anything will happen this week and still not convinced that McInnes is number 1 choice.



20 Nov 2017 00:02:52
Big Sam and Barry.



20 Nov 2017 09:23:55
big sam yes barry no



19 Nov 2017 17:32:34
Poor result yesterday guys, trying to take positives in that we had enough chances to win a dozen matches (feel for Alfredo morelos he works like a demon and just needs a goal)! Still seeing the same problems we've faced for a while, no killer instinct, no real leaders, lack of quality in middle of the park! We need a manager in who's going to be brave make decisions and stick to them! Hear's where il get slaughtered, play niko more, he's an exceptional talent wasted on our bench yes he won't last 90 and needs games but a run in our team and he would start to prove his qualities! Use barjonas more his energy and strength in middle is something we lack! Forget Hodson as he's just not good enough, and drop Miller as he's past it.



19 Nov 2017 18:05:28
Why is Wilson playing and not Bruno? Are they trying to force him out and get his wages off the books? Wilson never worked before so why play him again?



19 Nov 2017 20:51:40
Niko is finished have you watched him play this season? Slows play down, gives ball away, lunges into tackles - a complete liability.



19 Nov 2017 22:04:10
agree nikko is done too slow and caught on call too often shame but is what it is

for me i'd get bruno back at cntr half with wilson or cardoso dorrans once fit back in cntr mid with holt and go get moult in Jan to play up top with morelos take some pressure off him

fyi i heard from a v good source that pena has turned up at training a few times rough as fck after being out on the bevy



19 Nov 2017 22:17:57
Only my opinion and I agree niko has been guilty of slowing things down and giving away fouls but that's a lack of sharpness and given a run I reckon you would see a player with something more to offer, we should be using him at home where we have struggled this season



19 Nov 2017 23:27:18
Treva I don’t your rumour on Pena is true if he turned up unfit to train he could be sacked contract torn up and I’ve a feeling that would be a god send to the board



20 Nov 2017 14:00:57
Cardoso is a tanned Rob Kiernan IMO
Alves has done nothing to warrant being a starter either.
I think the current 2 CB's haven't done enough to warrant being dropped. McCrorie played a howler of a pass, but that aside, he and Wilson have communicated well and formed a decent pairing.
Morelos needs a spell on the sidelines IMO, it was he and not McCrorie that cost us that game with some finishing that, if he were Waghorn, he would have been hounded off the pitch. To then take an age to come off the park when we are in desperate need of urgency again left a sour taste in my mouth.

More energy in the middle of the park? More energy than Jason Holt and Ryan Jack? I fail to see how Barjonas provides any more energy or indeed quality than the two fore mentioned.

We lost VS Hamilton simply because our CF couldn't score unmarked from 4 yards, or when played through on a 1 v 1 with the keeper.



19 Nov 2017 16:08:49
How bad is windass! To think we sold wee McKay for peanuts to play that clown is beyond belief . Couldn't lace his old mans boots, that's how bad he is!



19 Nov 2017 16:22:59
Windass is not a winger . played out of position . He wants to play through the middle, Hodgson never a left back . put them together not going to work, Beerman should have played yesterday. Morales tried everything problem was he kept having to go out left and right and played balls into where you would want him. Miller playing too deep to support., took to long to make substitutions and then took Morales off when for me he should have stayed on along with Hardy . anyway a new manager I'm sure will make a difference, we need someone in soon though.



20 Nov 2017 14:03:17
Morelos cost us the 3 points with woeful finishing, to then sulk when being brought off and WALK off when we needed urgency - Windass and Jack were for me the only bright side of the game, especially in the first 45 - Windass gave them no end of problems making early runs beyond the CF.



19 Nov 2017 13:57:11
Do you what bears I honestly can't get my head round and it annoys me, how come when rangers sign someone, before he signs he scores goals for fun at the club he's at, he then joins rangers and he's rubbish couldn't score in a brothel, he then leaves to another club cause he can't cut it at rangers, joins another club and bangs goals in left and centre? It must be rangers training and tactics cause they go else where and score for fun.



19 Nov 2017 14:40:20
Or is it the pressure they can't handle? Need to be thick skinned and confident to play for us,40,000+at home scrutinising every move good or bad. Not many players (if any) we have signed of late will have played with that pressure on, oh and the fact quite a few are played out of their preferred/ natural postion. managers choice i know, but you have to play to the strengths of the players you have, that's the difference between an average and good coach/ manager for me .



19 Nov 2017 15:16:49
Geddes agree you need to look at our record it’s far better away from home



19 Nov 2017 15:55:19
100pc geddes, one wrong pass and fans on their back, can destroy great players. how does someone gain confidence under such scrutiny



19 Nov 2017 16:11:58
geesadodothat hopefully we can get a manager in soon to assess and organise what we have, I don't think their a bad group just need to be played to utilise their strengths . as fans we all get frustrated but need to cut them a bit of slack at home, like thinkabout it says, we seem to play better away from home. You could cut the tension with a knife at Ibrox when things don't go well . must have an affect on the players .



19 Nov 2017 20:59:19
As fans we pay good money. What i and thousands of fans witnessed was 11 players not playing as a team, no cohession or structure playing badly. So we voices our discontent at the team on the park. didn't hear about any Rangers players of the past complaining about it - good players embrase the atmosphere and are motivated by it.



20 Nov 2017 11:58:03
Agree Rfc Chris, but that is exactly what I'm trying to say we don't have the players of the past and we don't have a manager in charge with enough experience. Good players thrive on atmosphere and are motivated by it-bang on -not very often recently we have such atmospheres at Ibrox and the players must feel the tension. I've not heard any current players complaining about it either mind you .



19 Nov 2017 13:05:39
Can I ask all the bears on here a wee question.
As a mere Tim, you keep all saying our SIXTY FOUR GAME unbeaten run is because our SPFL is so easy with poor teams"
If that is so, how come YOUR team cannot even win 3 games ina row in a "poor league against easy teams".



19 Nov 2017 13:30:55
because we’re one of those “easy teams”



19 Nov 2017 13:49:24
Timalloy you are proving our point my pouting out the inability to win 3 games in a row. We are the club it’s rhe next best budget and resources and we can’t even win 3 games in a row. So yes, the quality is horrendous and that’s why you are so far ahead.

Another thing, your dominance is also down to our financial mismanagement, you can thank us for that also, not your clubs actions.

Cheery bye now obsessed man.



19 Nov 2017 16:01:42
Bearmode so all the work celtic do on and off the park is down to u lol.
U can't make this stuff up pure comedy gold.



19 Nov 2017 18:03:19
You misunderstood rayman, Bearmode was meaning that you are dominant because of our downfall which was due to our financial mismanagement.

If that never occurred then who knows, but it did and everyone else in Scotland now listens to mind numbing moronic comments from you lot.



19 Nov 2017 12:27:20
Am I the only one who is sick of Millers post defeat comments. He talks is if he wasn't involved yet he is usually one of the main contributors to us losing. He is now a constant in a team that has seen off McCoust, McDowall, McCall, Warburton, Caixinhs and probably now Murty! Time to take a look in the mirror Kenny, you and the rest of the so called stalwarts are the ones who are guilty of consistently letting Rangers, your Managers and our support down. Cut out the 'that wasn't good enough for Rangers' shite after every bad result (which you are generally a part of) and bloody do something about it. Stop taking the fans for mugs and either play up or shut up.



19 Nov 2017 15:16:07
good post mate wait till you see how many hi disagree button, they can't see past their own noses as far as miller is concerned, also pedro must have had a reason to try and and blow him out



19 Nov 2017 15:58:06
millers the past not the future, he should be bit part. if herrar don't cut it at least give hardy the job.



20 Nov 2017 14:07:11
All this Hardie nonsense.
He has yet to show ANYTHING to suggest he is the answer, in our strip, or Raith, or Dumbarton or St Mirren.

Kenny shouldn't be playing every week, I agree, but the squad if so bereft of talent that he is playing, and we have to play with the cards that our former "manager" has dealt us.



19 Nov 2017 12:26:56
Some fans are saying we don't need to buy another new team well guess what. yes we do. Pedro has been another expensive mistake just like warbs was. when will they realise the players at the club just now don't have the mental strength to play for rangers. these players bottle it every bloody time. they can't handle playing at ibrox well that tells me all I need to know about every single one of those players signed over the last cpl of Windows. the players on that park yesterday should hand back there wages to help refund those fans who spent a fortune getting there. pure gutted.



19 Nov 2017 16:00:05
half those players r who the fans wanted. though would have alves over wilson anyday.



20 Nov 2017 01:22:28
Alves has a back injury from training that's why he wasn't there. And game before he just came back from a ban and the two CBS had just won so murty didn't want to change it



19 Nov 2017 10:10:58
Just reading that Motherwell changed formation 4 times during yesterday’s victory over the sheep and they state the players adapt to this with ease. Why can’t we change from our one and only formation to stop teams knowing what we are doing week in week out



19 Nov 2017 12:11:34
Let’s not look at Motherwell and Robinson as some kind of masterclass. They are dung just like the rest of the SPL. They went 3-0 down in the first half to a Ross County side recently, fair play they’ve beat Aberdeen but they have hit horrendous form in the past month.

It speaks volumes that Rangers can drop 13 points at home this season and we are only 3 points behind Aberdeen, the inconsistency of the teams between 2nd and 5th is the season why Celtic are cruising it unbeaten, just look at how close it is in those positions Aberdeen and hibs are sitting above us and they have a goal difference of 6! Scottish football is a total beamer.

Had this been a Rangers side from around 6-7 seasons ago before the meltdown, ourselves and Celtic would have been pulling away from the pack of inconsistent teams. But now it’s onlt Celtic who can do that, while all the other inconsistent teams (us included) fall away and scrap it out between each other.



19 Nov 2017 12:19:07
Because we haven't had a good manager in yrs. good managers change games. we don't have that. btw that's not a dig at murty I'm talking about the last 3 gaffers



19 Nov 2017 12:55:25
Delboy1979 It's not just the Managers that can change games It's the players and so far they have been a total embarrassment



19 Nov 2017 10:05:29
" give murty the job, give murty the job " give me peace, a wish folk would just get real honestly! A mean nothing against the man but the ones who are sayin he's the safe option and what have ye need to really wake up.



19 Nov 2017 11:21:04
Spot on mate murtys to inexperienced yesterdays defeat was more bearable only because hibs/ aberdeen slipped up need a new man in before the end of the month



19 Nov 2017 09:55:31
If we as a club a serious about stopping Celtic dominance then I feel we have to go for some more experienced Scottish players
jammie Murphy good option LW
Naismith good option for RM or CF
Jonny Russell CF
Charlie Adam CM
macgregor GK
These players



19 Nov 2017 11:13:51
these player would be a big improvment on what we have and probaly available at afordable prices
naismith adam murphy all on the fringes at there club
only macgregor and russell currently getting games but both should still be afordable



19 Nov 2017 12:12:09
Do like Johnny Russell as a player but he would likely never move to us, big Celtic man who unlike some wouldn't entertain the thought of pulling on a rivals strip.



19 Nov 2017 18:43:13
russell mite come u never no till you try russell adam macgregor can sign pre contract in jan so there definitely worth trying to get



19 Nov 2017 09:31:11
I would want Sam Allardyce for manager but I have been told he would cost too much in wages. He would then want money to bring in his own players. De boer has failed at his past 2 clubs but wasnt given much time do u think he will get time at Rangers? No. Mcinnes or tommy wright na not good enough. If we don't get this next manager right we could turn into Aberdeen for the next 20 years. Once great now forever 2nd best. Push the boat out get a proven operator!



19 Nov 2017 12:13:53
Allardyce was wanting 100k a week at Everton so no chance of that happening. Mccinnes doesn't do it for me save the compo money and push the boat out for a de boer or Thomas tuchel



19 Nov 2017 13:44:24
no offence but you start by saying we can’t afford the ex gaffer for sunderland, west ham, bolton and other garbage clubs aka big sam then go on to mention the ex dortmund manager tuchel and a total failure in fdb, do you not understand they are even less realistic?



19 Nov 2017 14:15:48
Who said de boer or tuchel would command/ want anywhere near the kind of money that big Sam was asking for? Do you not think that the pull of Rangers wouldn't interest de boer? Tuchel aye maybe not but would rather not spend compo on a Mccinnes and put that towards a new gaffer.



19 Nov 2017 15:55:36
i just think that if the pull of being gers manager meant that much to fdb he wouldn’t have been distancing himself from the job before pedro was appointed, fast foward 7 months and fdb is now interested cause he lasted well less than pedro and his careers in the toilet, just my opinion obviously but don’t think fdb is the right call. for me it would be del mcinnes or tommy wright, a proper manager who will organise, the others will take it in the direction of the breadman no doubt, passing no purpose.



19 Nov 2017 09:22:06
We need a proven manager that has built winning teams. I watched the entire 90 minutes and then stayed at the end. My conclusion is the players are not fit, physicaly not strong enough and mentally not at Rangers level. The balance of the team isn't right. The only player that got pass marks was Tavernier for me he must be thinking can't be arsed playing with this dross. Hodson didn't want the ball. Fod forgot how to kick. wilson was ok. Mcrorie made a mistake but his head didn't drop. Holt was chasing shadows. Jack sits too deep to influence the game. Candeas is like that rubbish player that trys really hard but is still rubbish. Windass plays good for 20mins then hides. Morales has lost his confidence. Miller has 1 good game in 4.



19 Nov 2017 09:37:13
The scariest part for me was that only 3 players who started were signed by Pedro. The rest were from the previous regime.



19 Nov 2017 09:09:09
The board have to take the majority of the blame for mess wee find ourselves in.
As soon as they where in the door a director of football and scouting network should been put in place.
Then we wouldn't be in the position of having to sell players again at knock down prices to free funds for our new manager.
As for the manager situion they where considering Pedro future for a while so why was due dillgence not done then and picked there preferd manager they want



19 Nov 2017 03:36:41
We should try and bring Moult to Ibrox in January, get him in asap instead of on a Pre and waiting for his Contract to end! Should be able to get him for £250-350k! Well may try and hold out for the £500k they wanted last Summer or could poss be prepared to keep him until end of the Season and lose him for nothing!



19 Nov 2017 05:11:55
You and your predictions Andy 😂 it was the same with Walker and how you continuously predicted that Anne Budge couldn't afford to not accept a measly bid of 500k lol with such arrogance towards heart. Motherwell were under a lot of pressure to sell Moult over the summer and regected a bid from down south of 400k which they then got from skelping uz



19 Nov 2017 09:16:29
We should have went for moult in the summer now we might not get him as I would guess a few clubs might come in for him now. maybe even Celtic. our club needs to be run totally different. the amount of money we waste on players is shocking. we are now left with another team of duds. thanks Pedro and thanks board. not happy atm



19 Nov 2017 09:32:36
I agree he should have been bought in the summer.



18 Nov 2017 23:41:32
Is Murty still harboring a distant bromance with Warbuton. As far as I can see Murty is continuing where Warbuton left of. The only difference in the squad today was Fredo and Jack. As I keep saying we are 3 players away from a great side.

Tav Mcrorie Bruno Wallace
Cardoso Jack Maclaen Walker
Fredo Moult

Balance, Power, skill and aggression.



19 Nov 2017 01:29:02
Aye Ronaldo, Messi and Kate 😅😅



19 Nov 2017 08:47:29
Cardoso in Midfield, no Dorrans? and Mcrorie first choice. no thanks.



19 Nov 2017 10:39:23
I wasn’t going to come on and rub it in but when I read we’re 3 players away from being a great side I just couldn’t resist! 🙈🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂 comedy gold once again! 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝



19 Nov 2017 11:59:03
Sorry candeas in midfield not cardoso.

Tav Mcrorie Bruno Wallace
Candeas Jack Maclean Walker
Fredo Moult

Obviously Dorrans could fit in but I have a feeling he may be injury prone. Mcrorie is worth the gamble all day long.

I was listening to a dutch Sports chap and he gave a good analysis of why they are in a bad place. The EPL snap up all the 16ish year old players from Holland. They don't play and 99% get put out on loan they bank on maybe getting 1 star from 20 and the gamble pays off, however the other 19 players have missed out on all their development and never reach the top. What used to happen in Holland is the eg 20 players would stay and be blooded at an early age and develop fully from the age 16 to 21 playing 1st team football which is why they used to have an abundance of world class players. So when we have a talented young Scottish players its very important to play them. The EPL and other wealthy leagues have a lot to answer for. Are Italy in that same place now.
