Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


25 Sep 2016 22:36:32
Living in the south of England this was a rare chance to watch Rangers today. Just switched off after Aberdeen's winner. Here's my assessment:
FODERINGHAM did OK
TAVERNIER Great first half, faded
WALLACE Great first half, faded though won penalty. Only half the player of last season
WILSON did OK but still unconvincing
HILL no pace
HOLT good first half but faded
HALLIDAY my Rangers man of the match
FORRESTER useless
GARNER useless
WAGHORN useless
MACKAY great skill but kept giving the ball away
MILLER should have started the game
KRANJCAR ditto

This is going to be a long, hard season. We're languishing way behind already with only two league wins. Only hope will be the cups but Warburton must come under pressure by Xmas if the situation doesn't improve and King must get his cheque book out in January. Having said all that, we had more possession and should have won. Garner and Waghorn are pretty woeful as strikers. Rant over.



25 Sep 2016 23:23:53
Halliday MotM? No chance. Garner caused tons of problems. Otherwise you're right.



25 Sep 2016 23:54:25
Sorry but Warburton wonldn't or rather shouldn't get that long need to finish in the top 3this season and if were still in bottom 6 come beginning of November if we are MW sould get the push.



26 Sep 2016 07:49:17
garner useless? he barely got a chance holt and forrester created nothing. if we were going to score it would have been from garner he is the only one attacking who wanted the ball.



26 Sep 2016 09:20:09
If Warburton goes, who takes over, Billy Davies, McInnes, don't make me laugh! The reason that celtic brought in Rodgers was to combat us so if we remove Warburton then we need a superior manager to Celtic. That is not going to happen with King as Chairman. The man is all mouth!



25 Sep 2016 22:07:57
For flip sake guys, what is it with the air that circulates above Govan? The Hat on Twitter saying Scottish football fans are so vicious they're like hungry savages who have just caught a wildebeest. Talk about winning friends! I think he's trying to work himself out of a job, on the field and off it. It's called 'doing a Joey' lol HH.



26 Sep 2016 01:36:24
In part at least BTC I think you are spot on. Warburton wants out. I believe he totally underestimated the job as far as the SPFL is concerned, and simply doesn't have the nous or experience to cope with it. He is a one trick pony without any desire to change things when that is required
I am fed up with his sanctimonious preaching after games saying he won't change etc when every man and his dog can see how badly change is needed and how poorly he has operated in the transfer market. Or is it that these were good players elsewhere and it's his bum system, lack of tactical awareness and poor man management skills which are the problems.
Either way it can't go on. No improvement and he must go at Christmas.



26 Sep 2016 07:26:35
I'm surprised your club hasn't already mover for Derek McInnes HH.



25 Sep 2016 21:29:20
The only thing that is needed is everyone to support the team and the manager. We have a very good manager and building a youth set up from the bottom up. We are where we are at the moment. Realistically we were always going to struggle this year we are having a bad start and I get frustrated with the lack of shots on goal but sacking MW and DW will not solve anything. Get behind the team and it will click eventually and I feel when we do improve we will look back and be thankful for not being like every other club and shouting for change as soon as it gets tough. As for Paul le Guen comment he had a hell of a better team than MW has at present. We certainly don't have any Barry Fergusons in there bossing the midfield or Kris Boyd banging in goals. He spent 6m!



25 Sep 2016 21:48:34
Barry Fergus was the main reason for Paul le guen getting sacked. Also look who Warburton has brought in kranjar who is on his holidays and Barton who could start an argument with his own shadow. I don't think Warburton has recruited well enough and at the end of the day it's his responsibility to sort out our frailties but, he isn't doing that. Just keeps on saying we will learn from it. It's not good enough imo.



25 Sep 2016 21:56:40
Best comment yet mate, bang on.



26 Sep 2016 17:57:22
Davie

Open your eyes this is only going one way and the manager has been found out. One dimensional and easy to play against. We are a shambles and it won't get any better under him.



26 Sep 2016 09:23:00
I am still not convinced that Barton was Warburton's first choice, more likely he was King bringing in a so called "Marque Signing" on the cheap. The acquisition of Hill, Senderos and Barton is nothing short of scandalous.



25 Sep 2016 21:25:23
9 points from a possible 21. Let's be brutally I honest here and ask ourselves, is Warburton out his depth in the premiership?



25 Sep 2016 21:50:54
Every game apart from the oldfirm we have played the best fitbaw the results will start coming, we look a right good team on the ball playing good stuff just not getting the results the now, I would rather have a few defeats but stick to trying to play the right way than to play ugly scrappy stuff just to get short term results that won't last.



25 Sep 2016 22:30:40
St mirryn played lovely football a couple of seasons back just had a few lapses in concentration at the back and just lacked more punch up front remind you of Anybody? Look where the buddies are now? Not saying you will drop as bad as them but poor signings manager training book tactics and no defensive coaching and nae cash for better additions it doesn't look good?



26 Sep 2016 18:00:49
I do like Warburton but I really do think he is starting to crack under the pressure, some of his comments after games are bizzare I really do hope he can turn it round because I think there is a half decent team in our squad I just don't think this 4,3,3 formation suits the players we have, for me.

McKay and Waghorn looked out their depth and MOH contributed nothing again when he came on as for our flying wingbacks as exciting as it is them bombing forward neither of them can defend for toffee which leaves only our 2 fragile central defenders exposed all the time, surely warburton must see this and realise he has to start changing his formation accordingly, or I feel his stubbornness will end up costing him his job in the end.



25 Sep 2016 21:00:32
Just an observation here. Paul le guen had a better start than Warbs and with a squad of players who revolted against him. How long do we give this management team. My main concern about getting rid of them is that we may loose mcparland and our scouting will end up back to square one.



25 Sep 2016 22:32:32
Your scouting is back to square one if the players he has scouted are of the best level you can get you should want rid pronto.



26 Sep 2016 18:15:33
Warburton is not the problem. King and Co are the problem. If King's wallet was as big as his mouth is then we would have had decent quality players for the prime positions. Instead of that King makes the fatal mistake of going shopping for the cheap option of old professionals that are past their sell by date. No different than the McCoist era.

Money wasted on has beens and guys that have no idea what playing for rangers means.



25 Sep 2016 21:00:16
This is from a Celtic fan and I am trying to be impartial,
Rangers have to get there act together, the buzz is back in Scottish football, don't get me wrong I laughed when it went t*ts up in 2012, four and a half years later were still talking about it but it's old news, get ashley gone and get King to give the hat a chance, hate to say it but Idont think Scottish football would survive if we had a repeat of 2012, the game needs the fan to be excited but for gods sake let's start hounding out the idiots who follow all our teams, no English league of what ever standard wants the bile that comes with our game Aberdeen fans included in this, all this aside Ihope we give you a thumping in the cup. HH.



25 Sep 2016 21:35:13
Mate that's exactly what has to happen apart from the humpin of course, as you know though as old firm fans we expect success instant success, whole heartedly agree on the crap though seems to have got worse but if we work together somehow as fans we can sort it.



25 Sep 2016 22:04:03
I know this sounds crazy in the current climate, I always thought about having a fan zone before an old firm game were it would only be for families, when it's time for the game mixed buses going to what ever ground bussed straight in meeting players from both sides before the game making it memorable day, obviously a lot of details to be sorted but we have to break the mould for the good of the game.



25 Sep 2016 22:04:03

26 Sep 2016 07:51:18
it's a great idea daimc but we all know their is a select few fans who would ruin it.



25 Sep 2016 20:53:19
I thought today would be a kick start we needed but couldn't produce again. Seen slight improvements but something is missing and that is two things. Pace at back and penetration going forward. When we were going forward not once was I confident we were going to score. That is scary. Fear the worst against celtic in few weeks.



25 Sep 2016 20:41:37
Does anyone know why waghorn plays on the right wing I always thought of him as put n out striker.



25 Sep 2016 21:10:31
He spent 1.8 million on a player. Has to start him. No ultimatum but you'd imagine that's the scenario.

Doesn't want to play two up front. Only way he fits Waghorn on the side.



25 Sep 2016 21:19:58
£1.5 million for Garner or £400.000 for Dembelle. A waste of money if you ask me.



25 Sep 2016 21:48:10
Looks a dead ringer for Joe Swash though Gor!



26 Sep 2016 06:18:07
If Warbs is going to stick with 4-3-3 then I think he should play Dodoo Garner and McCay up front with Halliday Holt Windass in midfeild, if Warbs wants to rotate my first choice would be O'halloran and Forrester if needed. Hate to say it but Nico didn't perform when he came on, thought Hill and Wilson done a job but think Warbs will ultimately replace Hill wi Sendaros. All in all thought it was a poor game and Both teams didn't show much quality, if anybody knows could u tell me how many shots both teams got ON target! So yeah think its time Warbs gave Dodoo a run out on the right as the guy can play there and think Waggon would be better through the middle if he's on the pitch yeah?



26 Sep 2016 06:46:17
Forgot about Rossiter! Anyways I think Warbs should go 4-4-2 against certain teams but if he's going 4-3-3 here's my starting 11 for what its worth.
Wes
Tavs. Sendaros. Wilson. Wallace.
Rossiter.
Windass. Halliday.

Dodoo. Mckay.
Garner.



25 Sep 2016 19:45:29
Right bears, the game i'm pretty sure didn't go the way we thought, same as the season, we thought teams would attack at will which hasn't happened even at the sheep farm today i think must be the first time they sat back, it had niko written all over it with the room we had, people moaning blah blah yeah i know warbs muat be sacked really come on bears we've been in worse times, we are rebuilding and now we also know that only celtic will attack and we sat back, come on let's get behind the team instead of hammering everybody, all we are doing is causing panic in a young team and i'm sorry but that's not the way its got to go if we want success,



25 Sep 2016 20:07:16
How much time would u give him to get all the mistakes he's made right then?



25 Sep 2016 20:20:04
You don't get time at Rangers or Celtic if you are not getting results. As soon as a sizable lead opens between the two teams, the manager of the bottom team is automatically under pressure.

From my estimation, Warburton only has a short period of time to adjust his tactics and turn things around. The longer he takes to do so, the greater the pressure will become. If he suffers another heavy loss against Celtic in the cup, then I think that will be the final straw for a lot of people. On the other hand if he gets a victory, then that will buy him some time.



25 Sep 2016 20:43:40
A think we are lacking a leader a player who gets in the other teams players faces we show no fight only one you see wi a bit of dig is Halliday and garner put himself about other teams aren't fazed by us anymore hopefully we sort out the Barton saga he comes back and starts performing for us.



25 Sep 2016 20:31:02
According to some fans, they'll be willing to:

-Take fourth this season, as long as we've seen "positive progress".
-Decent run in the Scottish cup, won't reach the final.
-No European football, wait until next season.
-This season is a free hit. Give them an entire season to get it right.

Doubt our board will have that kind of patience.



25 Sep 2016 20:34:14
One queation who would you bring in, i'm sorry but warbs will get it right, i don't know what has come over us fans wanting immediate success it was never going to happen, there's no way any big name manager would come to us as us fans are making it a poisoned chalice of a job, our team will come good, dam i remeber our first league game in div 3 and couldn't be more proud, same as i am today its pants losing we know but it will come good and once we get the rhythm going we'll be alright but to all the glory hunters please don't expect us to win the champions league next year, we will come good but it takes time.



25 Sep 2016 21:12:19
Why u talking about the champions league we can't beat Hamilton, killie etc, do u not think if Warburton got sacked there wouldn't be hundreds of applications for that job, then up to the club to pick the right man not me but if anybody still thinks Warburton is man for the job they need looking at.



25 Sep 2016 21:37:30
big blue ayr, maybe some of us have patience and you you think we should bring a new manager in now I think it is you up in the clouds .
Come back the last quarter of the season when the team have had time and see where we are .
Everyone has an opinion, but after only seven games and calling for the managers head is unbelievable .



26 Sep 2016 18:07:45
Stmonkey

If you think that current team will do anything you are delusional. It's all very well beating the drum and saying get behind the team however the team are poor and the manager is out his depth. How many saves did the Aberdeen goal keeper have to make? Aberdeen were poor yet they still beat us. 2 wins out of 7 with a negative goal difference it's unacceptable.



25 Sep 2016 18:28:34
whatever happened to crooks on the bench one week, nowhere to be seen the next.
MW consistently picks his favorites McKay, Tavernier, if he's going to play tavs put him further forward, and play Hodson at rb, as Tavs doesn't seem to want to defend, and Mckay has been poor for a number of weeks.

I would start the search for our next manager now just to cover ourselves, there is obviously a gap between the spfl and the championship, but MW is not willing to acknowledge it.



25 Sep 2016 18:44:30
The hat has gone guys, he just can't hack it I'm afraid, the sheep are guff, Jonny Hayes is a blooteryet. Still come up short, far to predictable playing academy style football. MacLeish is on standby me thinks.



25 Sep 2016 20:34:38
Still don't understand why waghorn gets played on the right he scores 3 through the middle in mid week then gets put out right the day we should go 4-4-2 garner and waghorn up top could play hodson right back tav right wing this 4-3-3 isn't working surely he has to change the formation thought hill was no bad the day but Wilson on the other hand didn't play to great.



25 Sep 2016 20:35:08
He can stay on stand by, I'll keep warbs.



25 Sep 2016 21:00:17
Stuzo there was a reason MacLeish got sacked he went about a dozen games without a win and he had a better team than warbs to pick from so why would u want him back.



25 Sep 2016 21:06:00
4,3,3 won't work . We have to stop letting teams getting easy goals before anything else . We need to play 5,4,1 . Stop losing games before we even have a chance to score goals . Today troubles me, when I hear the Warbs blame the ref for our defeat . We were rotten . They were rotten and we're there for the taking and we end up getting beat. One pace, keep a hold of the ball. Plan A all the time, great. then get beat . Fantastic way to play . We play great till we get to the 6 yards lines at each box then lose goals and canny score any . No sight of any improvement in the near future . Season looking like a long run of torture.



25 Sep 2016 21:13:22
Mcleish never went anywhere near a dozen games without a win buddy.



26 Sep 2016 18:09:11
Tavernier is currently our best defender. You talk about favourites but yet omit Wallace. He his a disaster as a Captain, he has no leadership qualities whatsoever! I agree bout McKay, the premier league is a step to much for him and the least said about Hill the better. We are a team with no urgency, no winning mentality, rudderless and lacking in team spirit, fighting qualities and leadership. Souness would destroy most of them!



26 Sep 2016 18:10:10
He is out his depth and hasn't got a clue what to do. 2 wins out of 7 is unacceptable. Another toothless display up front again and yet another poor goal conceded.



26 Sep 2016 18:10:38
I don't want Macleish, sorry. Celtic went out and got a decent quality manager because they feared Warburton's Rangers and then they backed him financially. King made promises then went shopping for ageing free transfers.

The only decent signings apart from the boys from Accrington Stanley were the two youngsters, Dodoo and Rossiter.



25 Sep 2016 18:25:58
Expected us to finish 2nd this year not battle for 2nd but to consolidate it which certainly isn't going to happen my reasons for this were because DK told us we would spend good money to compete with celtic and be competive which has turned out to be a lie and its now january he'll release funds but by then its going to be too late to push up the league if were still were we are now and spare the bs abt us still gelling out of all our starting 11s this season there's alwiz been at least 7 startin who were playin last season, can't find the interview with MW but at the end of last season after the DK statement MW was confident abt challenging celtic think he's been let doon by DK plus he wanted at least 2nd for euro football but if its 2nd its only the europa and thers 8 games to reach the groups plus the europa financial rewards are pathetic.



25 Sep 2016 22:30:15
Sly dog, who said DK would release funds in January. He has no money. He can't move any substantial funds out of S A so no money is coming.



26 Sep 2016 18:08:44
DK, openess and transparency. Aye right. Getting fed up with not knowing what's going on. please be honest with the supporters. MW is struggling and being let down by the owners of the Club.



25 Sep 2016 17:46:12
Weak management
Weak Owners
Weak players
And if Rangers don't get a place in Europe for next season that is getting banked on with the wages outlay for Barton, Niko, Hill, Seneros, Garner, Then its serious financial problems . The money spent on wages on theses duds could be a very High Risk gamble indeed.



25 Sep 2016 17:57:55
how do you know the rangers financial situation? are you dave king? or Douglas park?



25 Sep 2016 17:59:06
Have been saying the same myself mate. Our board have put all their money on black (i. e. getting into Europe) and if the gamble does not pay off we could be in serious trouble. However, all the King lovers think we are doing great and don't want to listen to genuine concerns.



25 Sep 2016 18:12:06
dth100 what is their wages?
The team have just came out of the championship and played the second best team in the SPL last season and I thought they were the better team on THEIR patch!
Can we not keep the negativity till the last month of the season and see where we are .
If that free kick ( which wasn't ) had not gone in then I don't think the same impatient negativity would have been so bad on here, and yes we all have an opinion .



25 Sep 2016 18:58:10
Brian-p

I'll have what ever you are on - is it legal?



25 Sep 2016 21:03:49
Brian p and cee take your heads out the sand you don't have to be a clarevoyant to see that there is big wages outlay
Also 2 wins this season Brian P you don't have to spell that out.



25 Sep 2016 21:43:51
Head in the sand for being patient?
Bet most of the negativity is coming from people that don't
even go to the games, the gold diggers, instant success
people, I really look forward to hearing from you in April
, May !



25 Sep 2016 21:45:42
dth100, Well how much are they on Mr Clarevoyant?



26 Sep 2016 18:00:52
Dk already stated that rangers must win european place this year. highly unlikly now.



26 Sep 2016 18:01:32
Think the first 3 lines sums us up perfectly. Their is a weak mentality throughout the club and worryingly fans seem to think this is acceptable. Barton was right with what he said his problem being he is a part of the poor performances. Seems though the players and the manager can't take any form of criticism and hope things will get better rather than doing something about it.



26 Sep 2016 18:04:12
Brian p

Can you please tell what's positive about 2 wins in 7 matches? Only 8 goals in 7 matches with 11 conceded. Think people are entitled to be negative.



26 Sep 2016 18:01:57
With King in charge it is not surprising that we are in a mess. If his chequebook was as big as his mouth we would be sitting pretty at the top of the league. Instead of that we have a leaderless team of chancers and overpaid layabouts! If there is any truth in the Kennedy rumours and Souness is part of any deal there will be a lot of so called football players looking for a new Club!



26 Sep 2016 18:03:28
Cee; wake up Man. Start thinking out of you're wee world. Use your energy to challenge this Board; if you want to; suspect you would rather bury your head in the sand. I won't! ".



25 Sep 2016 17:40:52
I don't think we necessarily need to play a 4-4-2, we need to play a more balanced team imo. I think we are far too top heavy and then overloaded in midfield with the same players. I would try a 4-2-3-1, use Rossiter and Crooks as the 2, Waghorn, Windass and O'Halloran as the 3 then Garner up top. This is much more in line with what the rest of the footballing world plays.

I honestly think that barring a big turnaround Warbs will be gone before the season finished.



25 Sep 2016 18:22:39
4-2-3-1 and exact same team for me mate he will never play that tho far too stubborn.



25 Sep 2016 19:53:31
Agree BigBlue, he's in real real trouble, we are so easy to play against.



25 Sep 2016 21:18:41
I agree that a change of formation is needed as this one isn't working. But for me Holt has to stay in the starting 11. If Windass can stay fit then he needs to be there too. Both players are direct and have bags of energy and give the oposition something to worry about.



26 Sep 2016 18:05:33
the problem now is warbs cant make up his mind what his best team is wilson and hill look a far better pairing and we were not a million miles away today get crooks and windass fit we don't need barton.



26 Sep 2016 18:11:37
It does not matter what our formation is, with substandard players we will always struggle!



25 Sep 2016 17:23:25
In the last 3 league games we have scored 2 goals and conceded 7 that's a shocking stat and took 1 point from 9 we create a lot but don't take our chances that's the bottom line garner an waggy should have both scored today halliday is playing well but likes to pass back the way to much in my opinion we are just to slow when attacking need to try a wee 4-4-2 formation the striker is always on his own and struggles to make an impact warbs is to stubborn to change his style and it just ain't working.



25 Sep 2016 17:49:03
The forwards are too static when we're in the final third everyone is just standing around waiting on a pass. On the break its completely different lots of movement and clear chances created. But when we dominate possession we literally have no ideas or movement.

That's my thoughts.



25 Sep 2016 17:55:18
Scott what do you expect from a club that have only spent £1.5mill in transfer fees. You expect Rangers to be playing great football with a Championship squad and some free transfers? Why do you think they are free transfers, because no one wants them or no one wants them for the money they want from a club. Where is the money as promised by DK? That by the way is never coming to Rangers. It will either take years for Rangers to put a decent team together or a big transfer budget and 2 or maybe 3 transfer windows. It won't just happen because it's Rangers. This is as good as it gets for a while. Get used to it.



25 Sep 2016 17:58:28
the forwards too static? the centre midfielders are abysmal and couldn't make a 5 yard pass.



25 Sep 2016 20:10:42
What clear cut chances did we make on the break cameo I must have missed those.



25 Sep 2016 20:30:02
Johnnymac its nothing to do with free transfers that's a nonsense theory ibrahemovic wasnt wanted by anyone then a take it excuse the spelling these players might not cost a lot but still pick up a good wage and u say the king money ain't comming whos paying these wages because the club ain't taking in a lot with no european football and a will never get used to these performances this is glasgow rangers a club who aren't charging fans prices of a low table finish club needs to be better bottom line.



25 Sep 2016 22:39:08
Scott work it out yourself. There is no money to build the team any money is there just to keep the club in existence. Money is not from King. Money is from Park and co.



26 Sep 2016 18:04:19
Johnnymac

Other than Celtic can you tell me what the other teams in the Premiership have spent? Think you'll also find we had to pay fees for Rossiter, Crooks, Windass, Hodson, Doodo plus the £1.5m for Garner far more all the teams bar one. The team is poor the manager out of his depth and we are going backwards at an alarming rate.



26 Sep 2016 18:10:04
Crooks hasn't been given a chance, Rossiter is injured, Holt is just on his way back and Forrester is a decent player. The rest of them are not good enough, and I include McKat y and Halliday in that. Kranjcer is finished, the centre backs are a joke and Wallace will never be a leader in a million years!



25 Sep 2016 16:33:08
Times up warburton do the right things 7 games 9 points shocking Paul le guen had a better record bring back big mcleish honestly.



25 Sep 2016 17:58:35
There is a school of thought we should gave them more time etc,

How much time?

Reasonably if we remain anchored to bottom half of table at Christmas and have failed to take the League cup then there can be no more defence for the Management team and their players?

January transfer window should be available to new management team!



26 Sep 2016 18:11:18
What is the point in the January transfer window when King won't spend the money he promised. We had the opportunity to do this in the summer but we ended up with Senderos, Hill, Kranjcer and Barton. I find it hard to believe that these were Warburton's first picks. More like King attempting to bring in OAP's on the cheap, just like his predecessors.



25 Sep 2016 16:31:53
To all the guys on here who slated brown for saying Aberdeen would be the nearest challengers, to all you who slated robbie nelson for saying rangers would need 20 million to challenge celtic. What are your thoughts now?
Not a dig just a honest question.



25 Sep 2016 17:10:04
My thoughts are we need more than 20 million to challenge Celtic.

Was that a serious question? Losing to a last minute free kick to a team, last 2 years runners up, who parked the proverbial bus on the six yard line, while playing at home. I never saw anything to suggest Aberdeen will be well ahead of Rangers. They will certainly not be challenging Celtic. Celtic should probably win the league by 15 to 20 points. Rangers dominated, but lack any kind of cutting edge. Too much fancy dan play, especially from MacKay. The first 3 years after being put into div 3 were wasted. A lot of money was siphoned off, and some crooked contract awarding has handicapped Rangers big style.

Rangers should be looking at bringing decent players in, in order to make good profit. The Garner situation was a strange move at his age. Other than Celtic, no other team has started the season well. A long way to go yet. If fans want the instant money solution, we will be back to square one. Unless it is quality young players and we can triple their value, at least, when we sell them on.



25 Sep 2016 18:01:49
That is the worrying thing Cuillin, we got done over by a rank average Aberdeen team and the worrying thing is Hearts are actually a much better team than Aberdeen this season and must be favourites for second place at the moment, which means we are left fighting for third (hopefully) with Aberdeen and St Johnstone.



25 Sep 2016 18:15:47
Well said Cullin 72.



26 Sep 2016 18:08:51
Cullin72

Your right Aberdeen were awful yet we lost to them. Don't know how you can say they parked the bus either. What game were you watching. They didn't need to park the bus as we never really threatened them. 1 win out of 4 away with a negative goal difference. We are rank rotten and the manager hasn't got a clue what to do.



25 Sep 2016 16:31:06
We r a good championship team which our result against queen of the south during the week suggests. 2 wins in 7 games added to our poor finish to last season time for a reality check top six is a must this season.



25 Sep 2016 16:30:22
Rangers didn't really look like scoring today, as England showed in the Euros 433 pass pass possession pass pass football only works when you have 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4) exceptional players (see Barcelona - Busquets, Neymar, Suarez, Messi) . If you haven't got 1 or 2 exceptional players (as Rangers haven't) its fairly easy to defend against (simply defend deep and pressure the man on the ball) . Garner seems a good player but £2m would've been better spent on Matt Smith/ Will Grigg.
Where from here?
Crooks (even though he hasn't played yet is a big miss) and Windass looks class.
I'm struggling to convince myself that Ryan Hardie isn't at least as effective as what Garner, Waghorn, Miller etc are.



25 Sep 2016 16:20:29
Reality check time lads, I've said on numerous occasions that with no funding, bad buys, DK putting pressure on yous would backfire, a lot of rangers fans seemed to think that because you got back up you were going to stroll it, with basically the same squad as last yr, going to take time as most sensible posters on here will agree, just popping on to say why blame your gaffer when its clear the fingers should be pointed at DK for numerous lies he has spun your support. he has gave you nothing but loans to be repaid and off course the old rangers statements that fans just gobble up. if your going to shift blame that's the man that should be taking the flak. if he dosent pull his finger out youll have more to worry about than dropping points .

have a good night lads.



25 Sep 2016 16:47:08
I've never had the wool pulled over my eyes but it's not like any team really deserved the win today. I didn't think Rangers would win the league, far from it but even by today's game it's hardly like we where outclassed by last years 2nd place team away from home. So it's clear we can get 2nd. This talking up of us matching Celtic is clearly ludicrous in the sense Sinclair cost twice as much as our whole team so that's enough said. If Celtic didn't win the title this year with that calibre of player I would have been astounded. Rangers will improve this year and people just look at results but we need some patience, which as we all know is in short supply.

Some mentioned Le Guen further up, get a grip of yourself he has a massive budget and ruined things. Warburton has rebuilt a team with nothing and promoted us and is learning with a new squad. Some people are pathetic.



25 Sep 2016 17:59:12
How has he had nothing? by far a bigger budget than Aberdeen hearts and everyone else outside celtic he's ruining us with his inability to change tactics 4-3-3 or nothing get the useless twat out now I've had enough of watching this nice on the ball pish we can't score n let way too many in.



25 Sep 2016 18:32:10
Bhoywonder, can you explain to me where DK has gone wrong?
His three year plan was having us playing in Europe in that
time scale, which we WILL do this season .
We are in the process of building the youth academy / scouting network etc .
Can you explain to me where he is going wrong, as I for one took positives from the game today highlighting we are not that far from our objective .



25 Sep 2016 16:15:33
We played better today but still lack a cutting edge. I really feel the basis of not a bad team is there, but we need a dominant captain, a bully and a man feared and respected by opponents. A Souness, but they are few and far between, so until we stop being the "unlucky" second bests, this is going to be a long, hard season.



25 Sep 2016 16:37:07
Fodderingham must be dropped. A keeper should not be getting beat at his near post for the first goal. The freekick was a belter but yet again should not be getting beat at near post. Ball was in the air long enough to position yourself and react. Defence is rubbish but goal keeper is at fault most times for making stupid errors that are costing the team. Still behind warburton but he's got to drop the old pals act. As soon as Gordon's form dipped at Celtic he was replaced. Same should be happening here!



25 Sep 2016 17:33:50
Alrusblue, neither of they goals were fods fault. Come on! School boy defending for the first and the boys kept his composure to finish. The second, beat at near post? Ball in air long enough. Not many keepers on the planet would have saved that. It was an absolute peach! To blame fod for they two goals is baffling.



26 Sep 2016 17:52:24
Altus, are you smoking something strong . Hill was at fault for the first for not anticipating the flick on. Keepers are not going to save those most of the time and if do then it's called a great save. As far as the free kick is concerned, two keepers in the net wouldn't have got it.

Only the fact as it wasn't a free kick is what we can complain about. The boy hit a wonderful free kick and should be applauded for it. The referee not so. Get off the players' backs and give them some praise for a better, half decent performance today.



25 Sep 2016 16:10:25
Guys just want your opinion on warburtons substitutes to me we needed pace put into the team he takes off Forrester and brings on krankaer whos far to slow for a game of that pace its always the same subs made everyweek why no put dodoo on with moh and just go for it 2 upfront and i personally think our formation needs to change and how many times was tav caught out of position today.



25 Sep 2016 18:21:22
Scott87, agree to an extent, O, Halloran came on for the pace, but Krancjar came on to try and pick that telling pass which we badly need .



25 Sep 2016 16:08:46
Look, this is going to b 1 long season, things aren't going our way at the moment, the Barton saga, injuries, and today as we all saw, refs, now the refs not to blame for the boys great strike, but he gave him his stage out of nothing, I thought we the better team throughout the game apart from a spell at the start of the second half, I'd let waghorn run down his contact, not good enough, garner looks decent, but still finding his feet, Aberdeen weren't at the races all game today, but they still won, something we can't do, we're either giving teams a goal start every single game, or we're just not performing at all, it's a mixture, 7 th in the league now with 9 points, it's not good enough regardless everything I've said. O'halloran isn't going to make it in that team with the way we play, josh windass is a sick note, feel for that boy, but a can't give any player that plays well 1 game and out for 4 any credit, am sorry, we need players running through prick walls at our club, and more so now, we haven't got them type of players! It's sad to c.



25 Sep 2016 16:04:41
Rangers are not some sort of experiment for warburton to fool around with and test his management skills and tactics or lack of them. We are bigger than that and the fans deserve better.



25 Sep 2016 15:51:05
I personally want to stick by Warburton but I'm curious. Who would you bring in to replace him?



25 Sep 2016 15:56:44
Tommy wright but stick with warbs for now.



25 Sep 2016 16:07:02
He's to stubborn, everyone can read him like a book,433 and sixty min subs nothing will change.



25 Sep 2016 16:07:15
Sir walter ;-)



25 Sep 2016 16:12:23
We need money for development; not a new Manager. King where are you.



25 Sep 2016 17:29:34
Tommy Wright?! Was that a serious post?



25 Sep 2016 17:35:58
Alex mcleish.



25 Sep 2016 17:51:25
I actually thought we played ok today. Of course I don't like losing no gers fan does but sacking warbs isn't the answer I honestly think looking at the bigger picture he can sort team out and we can push on next season. This season was always going to be too early for us.



25 Sep 2016 18:02:55
A year n a half to sort that pish out jaws the guys not got it in him all well n good having principles but we can't win games be fair even the games we won we were lucky to win.



26 Sep 2016 16:22:11
Yes Sir Walter and Alex Ferguson
That would wet the appetite
And maybe get some investment from someone with some real cash to spend.



25 Sep 2016 15:33:49
i wuddnt be surprized if warburtons out by the time bartons suspensions up and barton comes back to manage lol could only happen at ibrox everything else has

Graeme Souness was a player manager with us and started the last revolution.



25 Sep 2016 16:22:56
yeah that's what you need daddy, a guy that's upset everyone in your squad to be your gaffer, plus you can't afford to sack anyone, DK is the guy your supporters should be disgusted with, spun all his BS and yous lapped it up because he's a blue nose.



25 Sep 2016 15:28:57
Just remember it's not how u start, it's how u Finnish, and we will Finnish 2nd, yes that's 2nd, we won't kick into full flow until Christmas, remember it's really easy to go up this league, it only takes a few wins to be right up the league.



25 Sep 2016 15:48:25
That's pretty positive mate and I worry you may offend several with that attitude.



25 Sep 2016 16:01:07
I'm not offended - but just wondering, given results don't seem terribly positive (9 points out of possible 21?)

Is management team released if we fail to reach second place at end of season (ir after failure rather than before failure)?



25 Sep 2016 16:45:23
You do know you need to be in the top half of the league to finish second?



25 Sep 2016 15:28:51
I thought there were some positives to take from today's game, we were v unlucky to lose that game. Big hill at the back getting better by each game and we looked in control of that game. I've said before on here and I'll say it again, big wes isn't a goalkeeper! He's a bombscare . And Wallace never a Rangers captain .



25 Sep 2016 15:44:24
How is wes not a keeper, most keepers would struggle to stop tht free kick u can't blame him for that. We plated pis* again but no the keepers fault.



25 Sep 2016 15:56:21
One on ones he never stops them. When the ball goes back to him and he's got the ball at his feet I'm a nervous wreck . He can't command his box . Didn't say it was his fault today, I just said he's not good enough!



25 Sep 2016 16:04:55
Well guys, defeat today for you :-) lol
For what it's worth the free kick that led to the winner was no foul. Tavernier I think it was, he took the ball clean enough. I'd be pissed at that if it happened to us. HH.



25 Sep 2016 16:08:35
Hes kept us in some games, he's got a defence in front of him tht crumbles on first sight, he's no protection frm them, they pass bk to him when they are being pressed to much and put him in danger its definitely not the keepers fault. Our cbs are a shambles, aberdeens gk was playing balls from his own box over our cbs and playing there cfs 1 on 1 with our keeper, that's amatuer defending.



25 Sep 2016 17:02:14
I actually thought our defence played well today. Before the game I was worried we would not cope with the arial threat from set pieces but we handled that fine.

What let us down was a combination of Warburton's tactics of pushing the full backs high up the pitch and said full back not tracking back quick enough when our attacks break down. The fact Tav was high up the park meant Hayes had acres of space to receive the ball and when our CBs go out to him it leaves acres of space for him to run into. I place the majority of the blame on Warburton as he still is not getting someone to cover the FB or stopping the FB pushing so high up.



25 Sep 2016 15:24:59
Warburton is WAY out of his depth!

There is only one answer, he has to go! Plan A Plan B, C D E and F isn't going to work with him. He asks the team to learn from their results, he is the one who needs to learn first! The team will follow.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!



25 Sep 2016 15:52:30
Yes it's disappointing to lose another 3 points especially when the referee has got the free kick decision wrong which was backed up by the sky panel and everyone else. I thought we didn't do to badly. Remember we were a championship team new to the premiership. I'm not making excuses as we want to win every game. It was clear to see today that Warburton is passionate, my advice is to be patient and not to expect to much this season.



25 Sep 2016 17:04:36
@Gor - how many times do you have to watch our defence being exposed because Warburton tells the full backs to play as wingers before you realise that he is not going to learn from his mistakes and the longer he stays, the more damage he will do to our future prospects.



25 Sep 2016 15:23:21
Clearly 60% possession doesn't win games for Rangers any more!



25 Sep 2016 15:33:20
Were just not having any luck we never seem to get a break, every team goes through this just have to hope our fortunes change soon! Would like to get rossiter windass and crooks all fit.



25 Sep 2016 15:46:11
Any good team has a good midfield and we have good midfield players but not in this formation! As for garner. what a waste of space! The acting endears him to nobody!



25 Sep 2016 15:52:46
Nic_861

They say in football "you make your own luck"

No luck in 7 matches .

Is this the talk of relegation candidates?



26 Sep 2016 17:37:09
Possession is meaningless if you do nothing with it and can't defend a punt up the park.



25 Sep 2016 15:20:19
Surely that defeat can't be blamed on Warburton. Players switched off after half-time and overall poor finishing from us. We can take a lot of positives from that game and the players will be hungry to win next week. I know it's frustrating but we all have to back the manager. Everything will work out!



25 Sep 2016 15:31:40
Of course it can be blamed on warburton. He picks the team and sets the tactics.
Every time we step on the park we know we need at least 2 goals to win due to dodgy CB's that couldn't keep weans oot a close. Who signed them?

Warbs out his depth.



25 Sep 2016 15:38:23
What do you mean "the players will be hunger to win the next game"?

Clearly they weren't hunger after Celtic defeat?

How many "next games" should they have - this is Gkasgow Rangers not Berwick!



25 Sep 2016 15:56:34
Excuses excuse excuses, we are NOT learning. Now out top 6 a week ahead of my prediction 2 weeks ago.



25 Sep 2016 16:14:09
Dodgy Centre backs you mentioned both had a good game today, tav was rotten for the first caught ball watching and not marking his runner, second was a free kick that shouldn't have been, once again not clinical enough and also too often backwards passes and sideways passing instead of trying to go forward. mckay wasteful with too many passes, but showed when he does take on the man (Waghorn chance) then chances do come, would like to see dodoo get a run out for all garner puts himself about all pretty wasteful, and his first touch isn't the best.



25 Sep 2016 17:09:08
@MRB123 - totally agree mate as I also thought CBs played well today. The problem today was not our CBs, it was the manager's ineptitude to get a midfielder to cover Tav when he bombs forward.

Before a ball was kicked I pointed out that our team had to defend balls into the box from set pieces and they did that well. I also pointed out that Warburton should be concerned with the Aberdeen wingers pushing onto our FBs but he stuck to his plan A (once again) and did not counter that threat.



25 Sep 2016 17:42:56
I agree BossHogg, but the team as a whole has the responsibility to cover the wing backs when they decide to make these runs, i'm not defending warburton just saying that as a team there needs to be someone vocal who organizes the team in certain situations . You think back to Fergusons Gough's Weirs etc they would have the tactical awareness and the vocal confidence to do this, something or someone we lack at present.



25 Sep 2016 15:15:16
Absolutely disgusting today. from players playing in there position to basic passing just wasn't there. I have been a big supporter of MW but I'm sorry iv had enough now of the shambles we have played in SPFL. The tactics are completely wrong and Plan B being more of Plan A just doesn't work. I think MW telling us the same rubbish before and after a match is just boring now and with the team not improving in anyway except against championship teams or below.
Tavernier is only interested when he has the ball going forward his defensive responsibilities are terrible. When your wingbacks are up with your strikers and defending with 2 defenders you will always struggle to get any result. Barry Mackay is not good enough for SPFL and I like this young guy.
final verdict sorry to say but MW doesn't have much time left before he must go.



25 Sep 2016 15:20:19
Completely agree with you. It's like a prerecorded loop with Warbs. It doesn't matter if we played well we've lost.



25 Sep 2016 15:26:19
didnt want to agree with you darren but your correct.



25 Sep 2016 15:27:02
Waiting now for all the negativity, for where we have just come from I thought they played well and were the dominate team .
Some people will come on and slate us but I have the patience to wait and give the team a chance, as I keep saying Europe main aim this season .
Just my opinion!



25 Sep 2016 15:30:29
It's a mess and you are spot on!

Not interested in this let's be positive. If there was a glimmer of hope that Warburton was capable of learning then fine. But Warburton thinks he's better than everyone else!

I am conflicted with, knowing deep down this was always going to be a tough season and a long long journey. However the results and displays are hard to stomach!



25 Sep 2016 15:35:23
I too have backed m. w every week now abd defended him and his tactics, but now i'm starting to wonder if he's ever going to change or alter the tactics we need a change in formation if thus so called plan A doesn't work. I will still give the team my full support but we need a bk up plan or change in tactics. Defence was also poor again. Big lack of pace and ther keeper playing there forwards threw 1 on 1 with our keeper wts tht all about?



25 Sep 2016 16:20:49
Have to agree. I've had enough bows be there will still be people on here saying I'm this and that and that fine, as everyone has their own thoughts. But here goes:

Waggy is NOT and never will be a winger. He is a 'man down' out there and has been last two games

Early days but Waggy also a better bet that Joe Swash up front. All Garner wants to do is have fly wee kicks at people. One header (from under the bar) at the piggery apart he has been woeful.

Danny Wilson must be the slowest CH we have ever had. Well that is a bit am unfair as Davie Weir was slow but then again he was over 40 year old! How can a pro footballer be so slow at 25 or 26 or whatever he is? And how come Davie and Warbs have done nothing about this when it has been blatantly obvious for over 2 seasons? Hill is 38 and I can't criticise him too much, but to sign him, Wilson and Senderos when we needed pace is just baffling

Nico Krancjar? What homework was done on him? He is a mile slow and gets booked every game as his tackles are 5 mins late. He is a luxury player and we are not like in the past where we can carry certain players as they might produce a bit on skill.

The tactics are boring. Everything is played in front of the opposition and the only payers capable of getting in behind are our full backs and that leaves us exposed on the counter. Even with 2 mins late today there is no balls in the box or long throws. Surely the percentages need to be played.

Michael o halloran? Why we he signed? Has he ever started a big game? I have called on him to get a shot (see point about waggy above) but when he comes on he contributes zero

Barry Mackay? Ship-up or ship-out. All the ability in the world and the heart of a mouse. No desire, confidence or determination to run a people and dominate a game

Wallace - where us his influence as captain? Halliday is a better option for me or kenny Miller. He is ok going forward, but he is bang ordinary defensively abs is often robbed of the ball in bad areas by refusing just to knock it up the line. To be fair, playing behing Mackey must be a nightmare as he doesn't offer much protection

Rossiter, crooks - when do we see you in action? When we do let's hope they improve the team (as if they as not starters, it doesn't help us)

Barton situation is a shambles. Signed for games like this and sitting in the house. Not saying he should be playing but why he was signed along with crooks and rossiter when we already have Halliday is again baffling

We will probably improve under warburton, but he can we thing he is the man to take us to the next level based on all of the above and current form? How long does it take? The team have not kicked a ball since the semi final!



26 Sep 2016 15:28:15
I agree with everything except your criticism of McKay.

When are fans going to realise it's Warburtons tactics that are the problem- McKay needs space and the ball, not our own fullbacks occupying his space meaning he has to drop deep.

Our only moment of quality in game was mckays run to the by line where waghorn somehow blazed over from 4 yards.



25 Sep 2016 15:12:01
McKay woeful again, Waghorn way short of last season, Tavernier cannot defend, no- one goes directly at the opposition, sideways and backwards passes forever, excuse after excuse from the talking coaching manual. His get out of jail card is the poor refereeing decision, but the truth is he is failing badly!



25 Sep 2016 15:19:32
Well the league table makes for painful reading. Seventh and seven points behind Celtic who have a game in hand and a goal difference of 18 better than us.

Not remotely good enough.

If anybody thinks we're going for 55 this season then time to wise up.



25 Sep 2016 15:42:53
U sound as if your surprised naz! I'm being serious when I say this, did u actually think u would stop us this season? We will absolutely romp the league this year! And that for me was never in doubt! If we're not 20 points ahead of yous by May I'll honestly be stunned! I really think yous are in danger of missing out on top 4 never mind anything else!



25 Sep 2016 16:12:59
Wiss81. I am on record here as admitting Celtic will win the league this season. But I am surprised at just how poor our start has been.

Still think we will finish second though I'm not quite so certain about that as I once was.



25 Sep 2016 16:40:41
I really think yous have underestimated just how tough this league was going to be naz! To me warburton looks shell shocked! To say that u dominated that game from start to finish was staggering if i'm being honest! He really does look like he's stuck in the wrong movie by the way! I don't think he still fully grasps what city he's in! Some of his comments this season have been baffling to say the least! He talks about respect but let's his so called marquee signing bad mouth the league the players in it, the champions of Scotland's captain and manager! To me he's lost the plot and that weakness has filtered on to the pitch!



25 Sep 2016 16:52:30
Naz

Maybe the song means we are going for 55 points? 😂.



25 Sep 2016 15:11:49
Celtic are effectively 10 points ahead - not even the end of September.

Are the Warburton supporters happy or are they looking for a 40 point gap by end of season.

"We were very unlucky/ played wrong team or another day we would have won but we will learn" etc etc

BUT we don't seem to learn because we keep making the same mistakes - don't we?

60% possession and still beaten.



25 Sep 2016 15:19:37
Your spot on Ranger! Think some people are scared they'll have to change there name on here.



25 Sep 2016 15:23:33
My god, give them time, we don't have the quality players we used to have, I wish fans would stop being fickle, it's going to take this season to find our feet.



25 Sep 2016 15:32:28
He is the wrong manager.



25 Sep 2016 15:39:26
We don't have the players we used to Del, but we have good enough players to be above 7th! We have 2nd highest budget and look at the lge table where we are. Not good enough. i'm a warburton fan and bk him every week but it just isn't good enough now.



25 Sep 2016 15:43:17
Midfield craft is nowhere. Can't see how the team can create from a poor feed. Impact player is Miller and Niko. CTF we are now relying on Pens and MW rant at the end; respectful, not. Man under pressure. We've got Hearts next . they will be all out to make a name for themselves.



25 Sep 2016 16:13:44
Are we ever going to learn? .
What does DW do in training with the "defenders"?

Lack of penetration from midfield and very little chances being created in the box.
No point in having all the possession if we can't create any chances.

I still think there is the makings of a decent team in our squad but it is taking time to find the right balance but MOH IMO doesn't offer anything at all and Garner seems to be a loose cannon.

Warburton needs to forget the excuses, feeling sorry for ourselves and get used to everyone hating us, if we concentrated on scoring more goals, decisions like the last free kick today would not determine the outcome of our games.



25 Sep 2016 15:10:09
3 things we learned today,
Yes we can still beat champioship teams.
We are going to struggle against most premiership teams.
The team can't keep things tight for 90 minutes.
I posted after the first couple of games that we'll be lucky to be in the top 6 come next May. All the people on here talking about finishing 2nd or 3rd, stop dreaming and come back to reality, it ain't going to happen.



26 Sep 2016 15:35:49
It won't happen but this is WORSE than out first championship season.

Winning title was never realistic but this kind of form should raise serious questions about the manager, his tactics, recruitment and training methods.

Our playing budget is more than hearts, Aberdeen and st Johnston combined but for me they are all better teams. Not good enough.



25 Sep 2016 15:03:25
Lost goals in 60 and 90 minute today

Were players in dressing room?

Are our on going results unacceptable?



25 Sep 2016 15:06:13
The first goal was scored 20 odd seconds into the second half not the 60th mate.



25 Sep 2016 15:20:39
Thanks

Meant 46 - atleast you were still awake!



25 Sep 2016 15:02:08
This can't be allowed to continue. It isn't workng mr king you need to fix it and quickly. utterly unacceptable we r a laughing stock.



25 Sep 2016 15:24:46
Unless King is picking the team he can't do jack just now.



25 Sep 2016 15:47:26
Are9. Not a laughing but King and Co one have to open up and tell us the truth.



25 Sep 2016 15:01:28
How much longer are we, rangers fans, supposed to sit and suffer these awful decisions this manager makes? i'm a keen admirer of what warbs has done in a short time but even ronald mcdonald could have done the sane given the small amount of funds given by king, its so plain to see these tactics don't work because a full season has been spent watching teams park the bus and they all know how we play inside and out, Fudgin change the system warbs and surprise some team and we will reap the rewards, i honestly am becoming disgusted watching this negative play, working up to the half way line and either passing backwards, or attempting mad passes that just bounce off defenders or end up out of play, i'm hurting as a gers fan, something needs done!



25 Sep 2016 15:10:36
Well said Daz.



25 Sep 2016 15:12:41
I do like Warburton aswell ryt enuff, but change the tactics and formation when needed, and its needed now.



25 Sep 2016 15:35:33
I do think if given some more freedom spending wise warbs would unearth some cracking young hungry players, but when scraping the barrel he's brought in the best options available to try and get us fans buzzing ahead of the new season, it worked and now nothing good has come of it, these new players aren't capable of playing in our system, so he needs to adapt a formation that fits in with these players and stop fobbing us off with the we will learn guff, we should have learned everything already and cut out these nonsense mistakes, the cup final should have been the wake up call.



25 Sep 2016 15:38:18
Oh and the money spent on Garner, what the hell, and why? He didn't fit in at all with any system, i do like take no c@#p attitude but it just isn't anywhere near worth 1.5 million or whatever we spent getting him.



25 Sep 2016 20:21:54
Maybe he could look outside England for players as well every now and again.



25 Sep 2016 15:00:35
Time to face the fact that Warburton and his plan A aren't working! Transfers awful. £1.9 million for Garner? Hill and Senderos as central defensive acquisitions! Zero man management skills. A walking talking coaching manual and nothing else. This is worse than Le Guen. He actually doesn't think there is a gap between the Championship and the SPL or between us and Celtic! Magic he is not. No improvement by Christmas and he must go. We can't let another window pass under his clueless guidance.



25 Sep 2016 15:49:52
He has been told to say these things to keep us happy. NOT WORKING.



25 Sep 2016 15:00:20
Another case of having most of the possession and doing nothing with it!

Garner could have scored at least one of those chances and Waghorn skied a perfect opportunity.

Mckay looked better today and I thought Tavernier had a good game.

That free kick at the end was never a free kick but the lad took it well.

Disappointed but move on and look forward to the next game.



25 Sep 2016 15:15:55
Garner not looking like the answer to me and Tavernier totally caught out for the first goal. He cannot play like this in the top division and W&W really have to have a word.

Decent performance mostly and Aberdeen actually didn't look anything special but fair play to the lad who scored their winner, a cracking free kick.



25 Sep 2016 15:16:17
Agreed apart from I thought tav was poor Wallace was our best player.



25 Sep 2016 15:19:25
Thought mckay was t worste player on park never passed 2 anybody and when which wasn't much when he got passed players done nothing with it.



25 Sep 2016 15:25:08
Rabfob are you being serious! Look forward to the next game, what's there to look forward too? you obvs enjoy watching this dross!



25 Sep 2016 15:54:47
Sorry bluenose should I just become a miserable whinger?

I am looking forward to the next game, I love watching Rangers play and hopefully we will win the next one!

Football frustrates one side of every match and that's the game.

If you think we should be walking this league then you need to get a grip, I am sure that won't be the only frustrating game we have but I am also sure we will win more than we draw or lose.



25 Sep 2016 14:59:11
Another "disappointing day at the office" - sorry but we have had too many of these now!

Queen of South result was an another false dawn - do we never learn to start with the right starting eleven.

We had 60% of the possession and still can win.

Like so many of the posters on here this team seems to have settled for a place in bottom 6 and it does't look like changing any time soon.

Not even the end of September and looks to be a disappointing season - even the Scottish cup seems to have been written off already!



25 Sep 2016 14:55:44
The manager has to go totally clueless in picking and setting up a team.



25 Sep 2016 15:02:38
Not anywhere near good enough! Warburton must go!



25 Sep 2016 15:02:39
He could have picked 11 different players and you'd still be on here saying that mate.



25 Sep 2016 15:05:29
For any Rangers fan still in confidence of warbs! Think it's time to admit he's is absolutely clueless! No more, time to realise this guy is not the chosen one! We need someone with experience, it's far too big a job for him! And none of this there no one else if the board splash the cash there's plenty!



25 Sep 2016 15:17:18
RAFBob

Maybe but some players are simply "off-form" and so are Warburton and Weir!



25 Sep 2016 14:55:12
I don't care what anyone says here, I've been as positive as I can be recently however it tell you for a fact right now, we will struggle to make top 6 this year.



25 Sep 2016 15:00:26
Warburton worried me from day one. Plan A, PLan B P! sh. He is way out of his depth. Will most likely say the same things, we need to learn from this and work harder!

I can accept the gulf in Celtic, NOT The rest of the league!

Just leave Warburton, King you better fix it and fix it FAST!

Disgraceful pictures of rangers team bus being vandalised on an other website. Including a reference to durrants injury and to ibrox disaster. Wonder will it get as much coverage as the bogs at celtic park getting damaged. Pure scum.



25 Sep 2016 12:54:38
Total sum right enough. Remember though, it is not a competition, and the Rangers fans who damaged the toilets at Parkhead are **** too. We don't need fans like that supporting the team. When people take, what is just a game so seriously, perhaps it is time to find a new pastime.



25 Sep 2016 13:55:09
My 's c u m' wasn't allowed?



{Ed001's Note - no idea why the swear filter got yours but not his, sorry.}

25 Sep 2016 22:02:39
Absolutely vile. Let's do our talking on th park.



25 Sep 2016 22:38:09
Agree Cuillin mate. We are witnessing all the nastiness by a group of well orgainised hooligan elements who seem to get away with all sorts of thuggery. Were are Scotland's finest then all of this stuff is done right under their noses. Throwback to really nasty times and needs to be addressed, consistently across all teams.



25 Sep 2016 11:47:05
hi bears
i see that our under 20 team played aberdeen and drew 1-1 is there a report on this anywhere i can't find one? normally the games is reported on twitter not this time?



25 Sep 2016 11:06:19
I have some concerns about today's game. If we allow Aberdeen to play their game then we are going to be in trouble. For instance if Tavernier is bombing forward like he usually does then McGinn can make him look even worse than what Stokes did in the cup final, as he has good pace and skill. Not only that we need to be dominant in the air and try not to give away set pieces anywhere near our box as Aberdeen have the players that can punish us aerially and we have been weak at defending corners and free kicks for a while now.



25 Sep 2016 11:55:12
Ahhh, nothing like positivity.



25 Sep 2016 22:31:06
Have some belief mate if holt and windass garner and wags is playing they should be worried about how we can hurt them
I'd play o'halorin his pace is needed today I'm buzzin make a statement today lads and get the points.



25 Sep 2016 10:52:53
Cant believe the damage done to the team coach, why in anybody's mind would it be ok to write that. hope cctv catches the tit that done it.



25 Sep 2016 11:19:19
what happened?



25 Sep 2016 12:03:12
Somebody scribed in the paintwork about the ibrox disaster and about ian durrant.



25 Sep 2016 10:21:34
Lol so funny reading the rangera pages today settle for 2nd? Thought you were capbable of first? U guys are so funny u will be lucky to be top 4 u are a shadow of the former team u were as the tax man can't help u now! i'm an aberdeen fan and can't wait to watch i get humped today lol.



25 Sep 2016 10:37:39
Glad you can't wait to watch yourself get humped!



25 Sep 2016 10:41:24
Mate, you are right " i get humped" what was that the whiskey and the sheep last night.



25 Sep 2016 10:44:13
On another note I've contacted Aberdeen s mental health division to let them know you can't find your crayons, don't worry just sit back and take your meds.



25 Sep 2016 10:49:04
Aberdeen fan, how often do Aberdeen hump teams?

Imagine Rangers fans being like you lot and settling for second! That's how it is these days, unfortunately Celtic are a step up from the rest of the SPFL at the moment.

You enjoy your day.



25 Sep 2016 10:57:06
Got to laugh at your comment sheep shagger yeah you will get humped today. even an under strength gers will still beat you nasty lot to 2nd lol.



25 Sep 2016 10:59:18
how many years has it taken for you to wake up, still dishing out the same old drivel get a life.



25 Sep 2016 11:18:57
Lol awww truth hurts boys our sheep like a good humping just like the rangers will get today can't wait!



25 Sep 2016 11:19:47
when's the last time Aberdeen won a league title?



25 Sep 2016 12:55:59
Whens the last time aberdeen won anything that doesn't involve animals.



25 Sep 2016 22:41:03
I would have thought that you would have had a preference for sheep! Keep deluding yourself that you support a team that will ever win anything! Even when we were in the lower divisions you could't put up a serious challenge to Celtic. I guess it is because you have an inferiority complex. Still, I guess you can amuse yourself by calling us zombies when you are not involved in your other pastimes!



25 Sep 2016 22:34:53
You are used to watching a good humping waiting in the que in the field.



25 Sep 2016 09:17:32
Hi fellow bears, i got married on friday there, had such an awesome weekend thus far and i was just thinking, if we beat Aberdeen today its going to be the best weekend ever! i'm a bit rough today but ill be having a wee drink to get the battle fever on! Stay safe bears and enjoy.



25 Sep 2016 10:46:28
Congrats mate all the best to you and your better half, 10 yrs in and i'm loving life ( as long as i do what she says when she wants and what she wants i don't get hit and get the tv for 10 mins lmao)



{Ed001's Note - is that 10min on your birthday?}

25 Sep 2016 11:15:50
I don't get anywhere near the TV in our house as the kids control the remote. Thank the lord for internet as it means I don't miss the fitba. lol.



25 Sep 2016 11:22:55
Only christmas now ed and i'm usually working that lol.



{Ed001's Note - sounds like you have a keeper there mate, they don't usually let a man have so much control over the TV, even when he is not there....}

25 Sep 2016 11:48:03
Cheers StmonkeyRFC, I know what you mean I've been having that for years lol and Ed, not even on my birthday do i get 10 mins, nothing comes between the mrs and easties😂.



{Ed001's Note - what is the fascination with that show? Weird. I never understand why people watch it.}

25 Sep 2016 09:00:26
I hope we go with the same team that was meant to start the last game, ie Windass starting against the sheep. The goalkeeper possibly could be changed however apart from that I'd go with same team.



25 Sep 2016 08:09:44
ok fellow bears i am looking at a few tabloid sites and being a sunday when most of the weeks news is repeated and fabricated i can't find anything on our kenny miller? what's the story? hmm maybe its because there probably isn't one? as for derek johnston being called a charlatan? i was watching the other night against qos on bt sport and even heard the commentator making remarks about dj and his attire. c'mon mr sutton grow up!



25 Sep 2016 10:21:19
Now that he has been charged you won't see any stories as they could be seen as interfering with the course of justice.



25 Sep 2016 11:20:34
Sutton is an attention seeking idiot.



25 Sep 2016 11:24:19
boss when has that ever stopped the newspapers?



25 Sep 2016 11:24:54
if there was a story they would have printed it.
