Premier sports is such a load of crap and they should fully refund everyone who had to sit through a rugby game to begin with and then no sound for most of the game when premier sports are charging the public for a crap service! And not even showing why people are paying their subscription for.

01 Aug 2019 23:17:32
Get yourself an amazon fire stick and download IPTV. Every channel under the sun including rangers tv. 👍.

01 Aug 2019 23:29:35
It was a lot of rubbish mate
The coverage was awful and the performance was awful (job done though)

01 Aug 2019 23:46:56
Matches our directors. End off.

02 Aug 2019 09:27:41
Even better advice than IPTV Coldo, is use a VPN blocker and pay for the game through RangersTV. Our club needs the money!

I watched it on RangersTV here with SecureVPN App. Job done.

02 Aug 2019 09:50:32
Spot on GDog, I'm with you.

02 Aug 2019 11:28:21
Gdog, I give my fair share of money to the club and IPTV is quality, as I said every channel under the sun. You won't get that with an RTV subscription. 👍.

02 Aug 2019 12:12:42
Coldo mate you ever had issues with IPTV providers being taken down? Got the fear for an annual subscription that then disappears.

02 Aug 2019 13:39:38
Never had any issues snell, you do need very good internet tho. Cost me 90quid, 45 for the stick and 45 for a friend of a friend😉 to download it and set it up. As I said every sports, movie, box office PPV is on it. 👍.

01 Aug 2019 22:16:10
I can see the game on Sunday being very similar to Progres. It was like a flash back from last year 0-0, 89 min Docherty gives away a silly foul in a dangerous position and against Sco opposition we may have lost that game in the last minute. I think we need to mix it up a bit we don't have quality of player like Barcelona to guarantee you goals against a bank of 10 players. We also need to get some shooting practice in. I would sign Cosgrove or similar to get on the end of the countless corners and crosses we get. I still maintain we have downgraded our wingers. Aribo was the only player to get pass marks tonight.

01 Aug 2019 22:28:52
Aberdeen wouldn’t sell us Cosgrove for less than £8M.

01 Aug 2019 23:52:28
Even Barcelona aren't guaranteed goals against a bank of 10 players, we ourselves proved that a good few years ago against them at ibrox. It's a nightmare to play against, so we shouldn't be to down hearted about tonight.

Personally though don't think Cosgrove would get within a country mile of our starting 11 and there is much better out there for the amount of money that Aberdeen would want.

02 Aug 2019 08:03:45
We all practically agree on here we need another striker brought in.
Now i've watched cosgrove of aberdeen against us and he is the big robust type striker, i'd be wanting us to bring in, but as someone else mentioned there's better than him available. Now i may get a lot of negativity from fellow bears on here for saying this but its my opinion and i'm going to express it. I would at least go and ask if big andy carroll if he would be interested in coming up here to prove his fitness and that he's over his injury problems. If by training with us he proved he was over his injuries and proved his fitness, i'd love us to sign him.

Carroll would be unplayable for defenders up here in scotland. He'd absolutely destroy this league. Why not at least take a look at him and let him train at the hummel training centre for a period of time, to check everything out. Then you could put in place a pay as you play contract to him. No harm in asking the question as far as i'm concerned fellow bears. We need this type of striker at rangers and that's my honest opinion.

02 Aug 2019 09:10:25
£8 million for Cosgrove! 😂😂😂.

02 Aug 2019 10:57:42
Why does everyone on here bang on about taking players on pay as you play deals as if the players would bite our hands off for one? Carroll or any player for that matter wouldn't consider a pay as you play deal for 1 second.

02 Aug 2019 12:54:45
Agree MikeGer, it's not even a thing and doubt even legal. Footballers are employees of the club, they are entitled to a wage - not just for playing but for going to training everyday. People wanting players on zero hour contracts need their head examined.

Not to mention, the club also have no security either if player not under contract.

01 Aug 2019 22:11:51
Think a few people need to calm down a bit.

For context we drew at least one game in all four qualifiers last year and nobody was complaining when we reached the group stages. The important thing is getting through and not picking up any injuries.

Dire game to sit through tonight, but not sure anyone was predicting them to park the bus the way they did at home when already 2-0 down - pointless and ruined the game. It's a long season especially when playing Thursday Sunday every week.

02 Aug 2019 06:31:36
They may have been a bit robust in the0 challenge and parked the bus, but I can remember 3 good chances for them!
Us, did we have any?

02 Aug 2019 07:24:53
Arfield hit the post, katic had a golden chance as did Goldson and Morelos came within a whisker of two tap ins in the second half.

02 Aug 2019 12:58:31
Bar72, they weren't robust in the challenge at all, they blatantly fouled the whole game to stop Rangers coming at them - not a challenge if no attempt for the ball. No idea what game you watched but we had umpteen chances, seeker has mentioned a few above.

01 Aug 2019 21:51:20
Did we get beat 5-0 or something tonight going with the comments on here slating goldson he had very little to do in a mostly one sided game we could have took our chances yes but a don't think we ever came out of second gear tonight gerrards plan don't get beat and make sure we have a fit full squad for sunday away to kilmarnock and get ready to go in the league the that mob hardly came out there own half tonight rangers happily let them sit in and seen the tie out we need to realise we ain't going to win everymatch by 3,4,5 goals so many negative fans on here at times.

02 Aug 2019 01:38:30
No, SM you drew 0-0 against 4milkmen, 2djs, a postman 3 PE teachers and a cat.

02 Aug 2019 09:13:22
@magyar - didn't you lot get beat of 4 milkman, 2 djs, a postman, 3 pe teachers and a cat under Brendan in Gibraltar?

01 Aug 2019 20:44:11
Job done and can't wait for Sunday but pleeeeaaaassse get someone else on corners.

01 Aug 2019 20:31:32
If ever their was a player this current team needs at the moment its Ryan Kent. We look non existent without a natural left sided player. And I'll say again letting candeias go so easy will come back to haunt us. If JJ was brought in to replace Kent why was he not started? Although I've said I dobt believe he is the answer he would have provided us with an option o the left rather than playing 2 attacking left backs in barisic and halliday. We're nowhere near what's needed to stop 9 in a row and if the board have any ambitions then they need to get Kent in asap, keep morelos and start him every week and let Arfield play the role he played last year. Ojo is getting found out already.

01 Aug 2019 20:47:16
Correct it was blatantly obvious tonight that we were missing the trickery of Kent. Get the cheque book out now! If we make it to the group stages that's more than half the fee paid!

How many on here saying we don't need Kent, well tonight proved how much we miss him.

And even at £7m he is a young player and a good investment.

01 Aug 2019 20:58:33
Think your cheque book will be focused on sports direct and Hummel.

01 Aug 2019 21:06:56
I told all of you's weeks ago that kent is what we need and that ojo is 💩. I told you's last week that we played 💩 and we were even 💩er tonight. I'm glad you's are up to speed now, took your time but better late than never👍.

01 Aug 2019 22:13:01
Not sure what you watched there Bryan but Arfield played exactly the role he played in last year. Had Jones played we would have been back to 4-3-3 with Arfield not playing that role.

You would think we just didn't progress to next round.

We struggled to break teams down last year with Kent in team, so why so many think having him back would solve that problem is beyond me.

01 Aug 2019 22:24:16
He should have played Defoe. Coldo.

01 Aug 2019 22:30:38
Coldo your constant derision of ojo is baffling even seriel rangers hater Tom English says he will cause havoc up here this season and looks a serious player I cannot understand your almost hatred for this lad and why you won't give him a chance on a more competitive stage before slaughtering him. Liverpool seem to rate him for the long term to say he's 💩 is out of order when he clearly isn't.

01 Aug 2019 23:10:22
I actually thought Ojo played well tonight and that he will score a load of goals for us this season. I also thought you really seen the difference between Defoe and Morelos. We created more in the 20 mins after Alfredo’s introduction than we did in the previous 70 and that was mainly down to the presence we had up front in the final 20 compared to the lack of presence before Alfredo came on.

02 Aug 2019 00:28:17
The last half hour ojo ran riot coldo. Put 3 on a plate that all got missed after leaving his man for dead. Give the boy a break mate.

01 Aug 2019 20:26:31
Glad to get through but got to say if goldson doesn't get the finger out he's in danger of the bench big george has impressed all pre season and you would imaging helanders been bought to start anyway bring on the danish.

01 Aug 2019 20:34:25
We were awful . No excuses. No hunger no desire no passion . Gerrard better be heavily tearing them apart for that woeful performance because there is no way that was even near good enough .

01 Aug 2019 20:24:29
I know we're through and didn't get beat, bt I would give no one pass Mark's tonight with maybe Kamara being the exception.

01 Aug 2019 20:36:24
No on gets pass marks. But Kamara the exception. Are you female by any chance?

01 Aug 2019 22:39:00
Jeo yes and I did say MAYBE gets pass Marks, learn to define words and phrases.

01 Aug 2019 20:18:09
The team just don't look hungry at all and we could be on the wrong side of a spanking if we play like this against the Danes.

01 Aug 2019 20:11:45
There's no way we'll win anything this season with the team playing like amateurs and on tonight's showing On has been ok but I now definitely think Kent is a far far superior player.

01 Aug 2019 20:41:37
Goldson is one of those who is like bambi on ice on a plastic pitch. He is always the same.
As for the rest - enough said move on
Onward and hopefully upward.

01 Aug 2019 20:02:54
Theres my point. Tavernier hits one from outside the box in an attacking left midfield position.

01 Aug 2019 20:02:04
Is SG accepting this result as it stands? Why is there no changes or fight to get the win?

01 Aug 2019 19:48:40
Connor Goldson needs dropped. He has been absolutely awful recently and his distribution in this game is shocking. We desperately need more quality in the squad. We need another left back as Barasic is not the answer and we need at least 2 more attacking midfielders/ wingers of a higher standard than Jones/ Stewart/ Hastie and we need another striker.

01 Aug 2019 20:15:40
Agreed Swagman he's been rubbish all pre season.

01 Aug 2019 19:43:19
What an awfull game
No matter that progress sitting deep and defending in numbers our passing has been slack at best
Going forward there has been no flair or creativity
The amount of times off side etc etc
Game is doing my nut in watching it's been really poor tonight
There maybe doing enough just to get through but we should be slicing this team apart and scoring goals
Our final ball also been poor
Sorry all glum but it's not good enough for such a poor side we're playing against what we will face going forward
We need more creativity and our headers not even hitting the target
Arrrggghhh I want to throw my remote through the tv.

01 Aug 2019 19:49:40
For a professional football player to be caught offside as much as arfield has is a sin. No even sure what position he's meant to be playing but I'd suggest candeias would have been more productive.

01 Aug 2019 19:52:28
Barisic was an absolute disgrace and just as well he got the hook at half time as he was getting sent aff😡🇬🇧.

01 Aug 2019 19:53:40
Why aren't we playing JJ? he was outstanding pre season. I don't care what anyone says Barasic is never going to be our left back. No confidence at all. This team are ok but we are making them look good. They are also fouling C**TS! Ref is clueless. We thought ours were bad!

01 Aug 2019 20:00:36
JJ is terrible, he's never gni make any difference to our 1st 11.

01 Aug 2019 20:01:51
Agree on all points lads
Barisic not good enough
Ojo hanging on the ball too long at times
Goldson is terrible it’s laughable
Jack is only one that’s looks up for it tonight
Defoe hasn’t looked interested he needs taken off
This passing across the field or back has been frustrating again lack of creativity
I honestly don’t know where we go from a performance like this tonight
I thought we were making progress turns out progress is making us look like we’re taking a step back.

01 Aug 2019 20:09:08
Ojo and barasic are 💩, aribo doesn't move the ball quick enough. Katic has been class. 👍.

01 Aug 2019 20:21:36
@Bryan. JJ is terrible? So if he's that bad why did SG buy him?

01 Aug 2019 20:30:24
Coldo

Poor result tonight mate - can’t dress it up we’re lacking real quality up front
Guarantee no 55 this season playing like that
Amount of chances missed at the end also
Nobody really running into box to finish it off

Uch some will agree some will not
We will not be winning every game this season that’s for sure
Hope the rest of the teams in the league will hopefully lose a few to keep us in it
Be surprised if we make group stage also - I really thought we were making progress
We need a big striker who’s clinical 30+ goals from Morelos yeah I know
Not always the winning goals and not always the goals that change then game
Fed up hearing about him scoring 30+ I’m more worried about him and Defoe’s missed chances any statistics on that’s guys
Really pissed off watching that rubbish tonight big time.

01 Aug 2019 21:45:44
AS1974 SG bought grezda barasic, got worrall ejaria. what's your point?

01 Aug 2019 23:05:45
AS1974, Jordan Jones is not Rangers class, and in my opinion was bought ( signed pre contract ) long before this whole Kent scenario came about. He was never bought to be a replacement for Kent, which is where we now find ourselves. If you think Jordan Jones is our best option on the left then why didn't Gerrard start with him? He played without an attacking left sided winger the whole game.

01 Aug 2019 19:24:35
What a terrible 45 minutes. We're basically playing with no left winger and asking a guy who has absolutely no confidence in Barisic to do 2 jobs. Arfield isn't a striker, I don't know why he's being played as a false 9. I've mentioned it here previously but tav looks lost and has zero relationship with John, like he had with candies, similarly arfield has no communication with ojo as he had with candeias. We need to get a grip, this mob are part timers and although I agree we're 2 nil up and they're parking the bus, this will be the way 90% of the teams in the spl set up against us.

01 Aug 2019 19:32:05
Halliday for Barisic no surprise.

01 Aug 2019 18:54:38
Premier sports joins game 20 mins late n no commentary
shambles
Everyone else the same?

01 Aug 2019 19:15:52
No problems mate! 🇬🇧.

01 Aug 2019 17:28:16
It's like the end of the world on here for Christ sake, stop worrying about what the papers and media are saying. Even though I think our chairman Dave king is a bit of a dodgy character, I honestly believe he is all for rangers and he is doing his best for our club.

01 Aug 2019 18:12:57
I agree, I didn’t used to about King. The issue is the complete lack of clarity to this.

01 Aug 2019 13:43:43
I wondered how long it would be before the chat about Celtic buying Kent would be. I see in the hotline 5oday that their supporters are now talking about it. This could be quite a saga as it unfolds.

01 Aug 2019 14:28:22
So because wee jimmy from castlemilk mentioned it in the hotline lennons taking notice and away to buy him?

01 Aug 2019 15:07:16
If they have any brains they would be in for him😡🇬🇧.

01 Aug 2019 12:29:25
It is said that "no one is above the club" WELL. some of the directors seem to think so. This is our club. not theres. Yet just like directors gone by. They are making a circus of our club and no reassurance or clarification on where we stand with sdi, hummel and elitte. We would not get away with such childish errors regardless of where we work. Disgusting!

01 Aug 2019 11:09:52
Hi everyone. Regarding the merchandise situation IMO enough no more court cases please were getting hammered every time in public and in our pocket. So can everyone concerned have a gathering and sit down and thrash out a deal that suits everyone Rangers, Hummel, SD. As long as we are getting a fair cut from sales. We can't go on fighting this clearly in the eyes of the law we are the ones in the wrong.

01 Aug 2019 11:26:02
You talk a lot of sense on your post Robbie C. I hope i'm wrong but i honestly think this will be a long drawn out affair. Now that we know hummel won't be our kit manufacturers after this season,
taking a hazardous guess and if ashley and SD get their way, we will be back to puma next season, as our kit manufacturers again, with SD as our retail partners.

01 Aug 2019 12:33:54
If that transpires let Puma make millions of strips, let SD stock millions of them and no one but any.

01 Aug 2019 13:46:41
Will Puma want to deal with such a club / company? The fallout from King's rogue trading will be significant.

01 Aug 2019 14:16:02
We may have to manufacture our own kits for next season as you couldn't rule out the possibility, of no other kit manufacturer out there, wanting anything to do with us.

01 Aug 2019 16:50:11
It will go back to court judge has yet to decide compensation for sd be next year before it’s all sorted.

01 Aug 2019 10:09:53
Honestly don't think Jones is going to cut it. So hows about playing arfield on the left the same way when morelos was suspended end last season and arfield dropped into candieas spot? So say mid 3 of aribo jack kamara/ davis. ojo arfield and morelos seems pretty strong to me. guess murphy can also play on the left certainly better option that middleton or jones etc.

01 Aug 2019 10:54:32
What have you seen so far of Jones that makes you think he won't cut it? Murphy will be ahead of him when he's back fit but Jones has looked perfectly capable so far.

01 Aug 2019 11:13:31
I reckon jones will play a fair amount of games this season, he's a good player and will only get better.

01 Aug 2019 11:52:53
All about opinions guys. Seen jones few times now and just not sure he's good enough. Very obvious in what he's going to do. Would love the guy to prove me wrong. But yeah be good to get murphy back to full fitness.

01 Aug 2019 16:15:29
I'd give Jones the benefit of the doubt. The manager must have seen something he liked before signing him.

01 Aug 2019 17:17:24
The manager liked the fact he cost nowt.

01 Aug 2019 17:19:53
Whats the chances rangers set up exactly the way i see us going forward this season.

01 Aug 2019 05:40:34
Don't know what all the worrying is about, the Hummel strips are sniders anyway.

01 Aug 2019 05:48:36
Panic over goph👍.

01 Aug 2019 07:44:30
You don't know what all the worry is about Goph1872? Do you actually care or realise just how much money this is going to cost our club? Doesn't matter who the kit manufacturer is in all this sorry mess. Its the state financially it leaves our club in!
As i said in previous posts someone or some people within rangers have to be held accountable for this.

Very amateurish indeed and more importantly, very damaging to rangers. King should be addressing worried supporters and they way they plan to move forward, from this awful mess, they find themselves in.

Heads have to roll for this! No other kit manufacturer will trust us or touch us with a bargepole. that's how serious a situation we're in and i'm deeply concerned as a supporter and shareholder, of many years.

01 Aug 2019 16:04:29
SGL Murray was held responsible hence the reason he left board. When the going gets tough the tough get going.
We need to ride the storm as painful as it is.
I posted in January that this debacle would cost us ten million, time will tell
I believe that we are heading to a painful end game and will be able to rid our club of Ashley by2023.
