Good match today should have won at least 5/ 6-0 if we play like we did today we might be able to be unstoppable.



27 Jan 2019 21:22:12
If we play like we did today we may be in top 4. Very indecisive and no real cutting edge until we pressed a little and forded mistakes. Fortunately we defended well against the little treat offered against us. As I said in chat room. A win is a win and we must take it but it won’t cut against other teams.



27 Jan 2019 22:52:53
cant agree with that blue nose - I thought we were very comfortable and in control right throughout the match - solid at the back, dominant in the middle and the movement up front was brilliant, missed 1 or 2 great chances but all in all a good 90 minutes when the pressure was on and that's a place we have struggled with only 4 wins now in our last 10 visits.



28 Jan 2019 00:12:22
We've only managed to win 4 games in a row this season, have to be more consistent and go on a good winning run. Haven't seen enough to suggest we can do it, hopefully proved wrong.



29 Jan 2019 00:00:57
Aye right you are bluenose. blow yer nose more like.



27 Jan 2019 20:40:30
I thought we were poor in the first half but picked up a bit in the second. Katic was the stand out player for me, rock solid, I really hope he can get a fair crack at the starting 11 each week.



27 Jan 2019 19:25:04
I didn't think we were on top form, but still easily beat a difficult team. Superb reaction by the lads, hardly gave Livi a sniff and created plenty. Worral and Katic breezed the game. C'mon the Gers!



27 Jan 2019 19:32:03
Bizzmybrox just a shame we won't win our remaining games I'm sure it's already gone the league I'd bet my house on us no wining our remaining games.



27 Jan 2019 19:44:26
Fully focused and good team selection today. Sorry we did not do likewise on Wednesday.



27 Jan 2019 19:50:14
DSGERFAN, Oh dear, why are you so negative? Try and be a bit more positive my man, its good for your health. Take positives from our performance today, onwards and upwards.



27 Jan 2019 19:56:38
Dsgersfan you’re a hell of an optimist 🙄

That was a decent performance today let’s not forget that celtic had a pretty easy start after the winter brake it doesn’t get much harder than Killie away that said I think had Gerrard started that team at Kilmarnock we may have got the result but I wouldn’t count us out yet the window isn’t even shut, so 3 points and a game in hand is far from over the line.



27 Jan 2019 20:20:12
Come on lads I no it and every one and there granny no it well no win our remaining games I'm not being unreilistic here its fact I do hope I'm wrong but have serious doubts I would love us to stop them tho.



27 Jan 2019 20:22:18
Also did yous watch S Gs after match interview you could tell with his body language that even he new it was over.



27 Jan 2019 20:24:17
And if any 1 wants to bet me a grand that we don't win our remaining games I'm well up for it.



27 Jan 2019 20:30:41
It was lads, potential banana skin dodged. Killie in a different class to them today and we threw that game away. Have to look forward though and a cup win and 3 pts on Saturday sets us up nice for pittodrie, that is the next yardstick though 🤞🏽.



27 Jan 2019 20:39:42
Probably not, but this was a good result for us against a tricky opponent. A building block, bound to be setbacks, but recovery is important.



27 Jan 2019 20:50:43
Dsgersfan you’re right we all know we won’t win every single game till the end of the season but neither will they! But you’re negative attitude stinks 😷 and I you don’t sound much like a body language expert either so I’ll keep the faith and let you keep your grand 🖕🏻.



27 Jan 2019 21:39:39
Dsgersfan - you are a joy . Glass half empty man 🤔 . Who’s to say Celtic will win all their remaining games. Let’s just keep supporting our club and be thankful that we are involved in a title challenge. The manager is doing a great job . We will get there 👊🏻.



27 Jan 2019 21:45:28
I don't disagree that we won't win all our remaining games, the league is the most competitive it has been for 25 years plus. Celtic also won't win all their remaining games, and there is still 2 old firm games left.



27 Jan 2019 21:48:56
What do you mean by remaining games though? There are still a number of remaining games, so do you not think we will win any of our remaining fixtures, if you do your a numpty.



27 Jan 2019 21:57:13
After a tricky game that we won comfortably
we get the usual negative post all other teams
will drop points not just us so it could be close
the main thing is we are getting closer.



27 Jan 2019 22:06:19
DG, are you typing and listening to The Verve on a loop? Stay away from The Erskine Bridge 😜.



28 Jan 2019 06:33:49
As a Celtic supporter. If you are righting the league of you clearly need to stay of the Gin. There's all to play for and makes it an interesting second half to the season. I fully expected Livi to grind out a draw but that never happened. Injuries or commitment will decide this title. It's all about the rivalry😉.



28 Jan 2019 09:15:58
Sorry about the ranting and raving yesterday lads, still raging about the Kilmarnock game.



28 Jan 2019 11:32:40
It's your right dsgers. Never apologise for it!



28 Jan 2019 13:01:24
Dsgers fan. Go onto dragons den and sell your home brew. And make sure they export it to Australia so I can have a drop. Lol.



28 Jan 2019 14:19:32
Magic mushiessss.



29 Jan 2019 00:01:04
Ok dsgers, what kind of house have ye got to bet with? I might be interested in that bet.



27 Jan 2019 18:56:29
I have said here before IMO 4-5-1 is our best system points wise, this is a fact. Most of the points we have droped was when we played 4-4-2, if you don't believe me, look it up. Also I am of the opinion that Katic and Goldson are our best combination at CB.

With the 4-5-1 system Davies can be fitted in but don't see De Foe being a lone striker. SG will probably play 4-4-2 against Cowdenbeath.

My ideal team would be

McGreggor
Tav Goldson Katic Barisic
Candeias Jack McCrorie Davis/ Arfield Kent
Morelos.



27 Jan 2019 19:21:36
Bluetoon, i think most people agree with that selection and format. Your right the facts don't lie. Maybe Stevie Gerrard will see our posts and take note.



27 Jan 2019 20:17:20
Good team selection that might be our strongest 11 if it works.



27 Jan 2019 20:32:54
spot on bluetoon

katic a collosus today ideally suited for physicality if SPL no nonsense defender clears everything and if in doubt he puts it out - lad was superb

goldson and him shd be our first choice pairing

4-5-1 also the way to go in most games diamond or 2 up top leave us too narrow.



29 Jan 2019 00:02:11
What the pundits and some ignorant fans forget is that the central defence has been plagued with injury that’s why the unstable selection. Katic got injured . Wirral came in and find no bad ( the Villareal game etc) Wirral had bad game so Katic came back and had a pure couple of stinkers andveas rightly replaced.

as most on here were shouting about and on it goes. do it definatly is not about Stevie chopping and changing . so unless you want central defenders hopping anoutbon one leg cause they are injured and you don’t want change . let Stevie do his job for gods sake.



27 Jan 2019 18:01:01
Much better second half today. Morelos with a part in all three goals. Candeias and Tavernier were on form today (why can't it be all the time! ) Katic well done! No nonsense at the back all day. Worrall almost sold it at the end. The goalie had to bail him out and the other would have been called a penalty if the game had been closer. I don't think it was a penalty but it would have been called if it would have mattered. Arfield's touch was horrible all day long. I thought he was going to be the first to be subbed. McCrorie was excellent as well. Jack was quiet but that might be a good thing. Livingston really didn't get much through the middle. If they had played the 1st half the way they played the 2nd, Defoe Davis and Halliday could've gotten on earlier. 12 minutes is not enough time to settle in. Davis looked like he was trying too hard.



27 Jan 2019 19:56:58
Arfield touch was terrible 🤔 involved in all three goals! Wish my touch was that poor 😜.



27 Jan 2019 18:00:48
Why Katic hasn't been playing is a mystery. Thought he looked solid and strong today. McCrorie, Jack, Morelos and Kent were immense. 3-0 away on a stupid plastic pitch is OK. Shame about the idiots who ran onto the pitch after Morelos scored. Now we have St Mirren, St Johnstone, Hamilton and Dundee with the sheep away in between. 5 wins out of 5 will put us right in the mix.



27 Jan 2019 18:32:20
Thought Candeias was man of match.



27 Jan 2019 19:45:59
DOIGER, katic hasn't been playing regularly of late, as a member of his family has been ill supposedly mate.



27 Jan 2019 20:34:06
Totally with you jaws. Candeias was also my MOTM, with kent and morelos,
not far behind him.



27 Jan 2019 21:16:24
Supercoop, not quite, Katic has not been playing because SG preferred his other 3 CH’a in preference to the boy. Thankfully Katic has been restored and today put in a very good performance. Delighted for the bot &great to see him celebrating with such enthusiasm.



27 Jan 2019 21:42:32
Agree Coop, Candeias certainly in the zone today. Thought Morelos’ performance was very controlled and mature whilst retaining his edge.



29 Jan 2019 00:02:18
Katic was also injured twice, my god.



27 Jan 2019 18:00:13
Ryan Jack just said he thought we were excellent and i agree. Who else does?



27 Jan 2019 20:42:07
Best midfielder at the club, although young McCrorie quickly catching up.



27 Jan 2019 21:36:27
The most talented midfielder at rangers, even at 34 years old now, is without a doubt, steven davis. Davo is a class act and once he gets up to match fitness, any doubters will see how much quality he possesses! He's different class!



28 Jan 2019 08:18:34
Supercoop, the jury is out on that one. Davis of 8 years ago I agree would run Jack close. In time believe young McCrorie will be better than either of them.



27 Jan 2019 17:35:15
Winning 3-0 away today.

That'll not go down too well with a good few on here 🙊😘.



27 Jan 2019 18:08:49
Bearmode the knockers will still be on.



27 Jan 2019 17:33:05
Was it with these neds invading the pitch. 😳👍.



27 Jan 2019 17:45:18
Exactly, last thing we need or want at the club. We'll be in bother for that.



27 Jan 2019 19:51:29
Don't understand why some fans think it is ok. Bad enough the kids doing it but there was one hefty lad who might have done him self damage with the exertion of moving a short distance in double time.



27 Jan 2019 23:06:53
whilst i don't condone it either, i don't think we do get in trouble in Scotland, if it was european game yes for sure. but i don't think club has liability for fans.



27 Jan 2019 17:08:17
Please Gerrard and co get the finger out and sign Kent up on a permanent deal ASAP. If we wait longer it’s only going to cost us more £££ and If we don’t sign him at all it’s only going to be our loss!



27 Jan 2019 17:37:00
Agree Kenny, he is excellent 😀🇬🇧.



27 Jan 2019 18:27:28
Kent is a talent. He's a defender's worst nightmare. The fact defenders will dread playing against him is a massive advantage for us. It gets into their psyche and puts them off their game. Look what happened to celtic's defence? The poor wee souls had to go off because he ran them ragged.



27 Jan 2019 19:50:22
Talking about defenders, big katic was solid for us against livingston today. I also like the look of both livingston centre halfs, halket and lithgow! Especially halket and he's out of contract at livi, at the end of the season. He also came through our youth academy. Wouldn't mind signing halket, in the summer!



27 Jan 2019 20:13:18
I might not agree with everything you say coops, but I do on this. Big Halket is solid and would be a much better option than McAuley.



28 Jan 2019 00:09:28
I agree, better bet than mclauLey plus Worrall will be away. Would be a good signing on a free.



27 Jan 2019 16:50:46
Playing well. Would have been a travesty if we had not gone in at the break in front. Big Katic has been brilliant against a physical opponent. McCrorie, Candeias and Morelos have all been really good. Dtep it up in the second half and we should be comfortable.



27 Jan 2019 16:56:54
Playing well? We were for the first 20 minutes.



27 Jan 2019 17:37:02
Much better!
He might not be flash, but big Katic has been solid so far. Well done big man.
What about our away support? Wow! Something else.



27 Jan 2019 17:37:47
You raging slk73😂😂😂.



27 Jan 2019 17:47:57
Hey Sik being bit harsh this has been one of gers best performances this season both halves. Very silky football and TBH could have been five.



27 Jan 2019 18:02:08
I thought we were a bit off after getting the first goal Miller, but after that, we played really well. Some really good performances today.
That pitch is a shocker!



27 Jan 2019 18:47:23
Bearmode! Really? Are you trying to ruin my Sunday with your sharp wit?



27 Jan 2019 19:57:01
Slk73 😂😂👌🏼.



27 Jan 2019 20:18:32
Have a good night mate. Enjoy the result.



27 Jan 2019 22:50:22
You too my man.



27 Jan 2019 16:50:37
Again they get the lead and then they switch off. First twenty minutes, four forwards in the attacking 3rd. Free kicks and corners coming in bunches. Goal goes in and then Morelos ends up top all alone fetching long punts up the field. Where are the wingers on the counter. why are they sitting so deep. We are playing a defensive 4-5-1 against livingston!



27 Jan 2019 17:58:54
Were you watching the same game?



27 Jan 2019 16:50:34
Not a great first half but we're winning which is something we struggle to do when not playing well. As much as I like arfield he's not a number 10, he contributes almost nothing in terms of build up. Of course it doesn't help that we're just pumping it long and bypassing him. Always feel we need a second as I just don't trust the defence regardless of who's playing.



27 Jan 2019 15:56:04
Rangers young midfielder greg docherty, is getting superb reviews for his performances for shrewsbury town. I don't think there's one shred of doubt, that doch will be back at rangers, once his loan deal is up, at the end of the season! His idol growing up was steven davis and on his return, he will thrive training beside davo, at the hummel training centre.
I don't care what anyone else says and i've said this on here months ago, that i see shades of steven davis in greg docherty! I've always rated doch and truly think, he will go on to have a very good career, in the rangers midfield. He will learn even more training beside his Idol davo. He will be davo's longterm replacement, at rangers! I still think, even at 34 years old, that steven davis is the best midfielder, we currently have at ibrox.
He's a superb midfielder and total professional!



27 Jan 2019 16:28:06
I know he’s a true blue Coop and can only hope he returns to his beloved Gers. Still wouldn’t surprise me if we let him go if a reasonable offer came in, but hope not as that lad could cut it down south and puts you in my of James Mcarther of Palace🇬🇧.



27 Jan 2019 16:37:12
Let the boy be his own player. Not every needs to be compared to or be the new someone else. Davis mite nothe even be here next season either mate.



27 Jan 2019 17:09:24
Only an opinion FB🇬🇧.



27 Jan 2019 17:58:53
Frustrated blue has to put a negative slant when you say something he doesn't agree with! Tuff mate and like yately1 said, its only someone's opinion!



27 Jan 2019 21:02:26
I didn't disagreeso how u got a negative slant from my post I'm not sure? . I like docherty but every plsyer we have is the new someone else according to you. Jason holt= ian Durrant, goldson = rio ferdin and, morelos= suarez. Csn he not just be left to develop into Greg docherty.



27 Jan 2019 15:32:58
Todays game is a must for 3 points.
May not help in winning the league but at least will make us bears a lot happier come monday morning.
Funny how SG now realizes that davis and defoe shouldn't start the game today.
Why they started last week i will never know.
Was he just wanting to show them off to the fans?
Wrong move and may have cost us the league.
And why in hell is worrall in the starting line up?
Come on SG.
If he has another off game and costs us another 3 points then something is wrong that we have better cover in that position and he gets a start no matter how he plays.
Something not right here.



27 Jan 2019 15:43:07
We only have McAuley, Worrall, and Katic fit at the moment.
SG options are limited.



27 Jan 2019 10:50:50
Morning Bears. Question would we sell Tav to Southampton for 8 million. I think with a heavy heart I would say yes. We have cover defensively so I would imagine we would get by. Wonder if Polster was brought in for this very scenario. Hope the team pulls of a great performance and get 3 points today.



27 Jan 2019 12:08:23
Definitely take 8million for him! That’s what we should be doing anyway. Buy players and sell them on for a profit.



27 Jan 2019 12:41:04
Yes 8mil is a no brainer👍.



27 Jan 2019 12:42:36
£8 million? if offered £5 million we should bite their arm off.



27 Jan 2019 12:54:03
8 million for Tav? Firstly i find that hard to believe, however if there is any truth in this then that is obviously great business for Rangers. We will wait and see.



27 Jan 2019 14:40:23
Take the money. Invest it in team for next season.



27 Jan 2019 14:42:46
Where is this story of Southampton offering 8 million coming from? Haven’t read about it anywhere,



27 Jan 2019 15:55:20
If anyone offers even £2m we should bite their hand off.



27 Jan 2019 16:44:26
Is there an offer been made for tav?
If its £8m think we should take it.



27 Jan 2019 10:15:07
Big 3 Points a must today or leagues gone if it isn't already. I'm just not confident at all.



27 Jan 2019 10:30:01
Think league is out of our reach this season just far too inconsistent, think today might be a draw, gutted won't see it today dinner with Mrs father.



27 Jan 2019 11:32:45
As Me2 says too inconsistent, supporters are always living on an knife edge, wondering who is going too turn up.
Why not play Katic and McCauley instead of Worral and McCauley? That partnership proved wrong at Kilmarnock
Let’s be honest here how many really expected us to win the league this year? Truthfully.
The Rangers will come back, no one has any doubts on that, given a bit of time, after those horrendous years of gangsters stripping our club and letting its infrastructure go to ruin.



27 Jan 2019 11:44:48
If we are now fully focused, committed and prepared we will win today. Anything less is not acceptable.



27 Jan 2019 12:13:05
I would tend to agree, we are close, but not there yet. Once SG get's his team settled in his mind, with maybe a few new faces, then we may get the consistency required.



27 Jan 2019 12:35:27
Unfortunately I think your right Struth and my confidence has dropped to zero for this season now.

But as always, still have belief we can do it next season when Stevie has more experience of Scots football.



27 Jan 2019 14:11:03
I think we get Davis up to speed consistency will come. Like Jack said during press conference we need to go on a run. Need a different formation if SG want to play 2 up top.



27 Jan 2019 07:37:42
Lots of comments going around about us signing that young GK.

I make it out the Greggsy in number 1
Fod as a sold back up
Forth as number 3 in case of injuries

Robbie McCrorie who will be our number 1 will get Way more experience and game time going out on loan, going to Morton is a clear indication the lad will stay at us long term.

Next season it wouldn’t surprise me if RMcC played on the CIL games etc and we sold Foderinham Leaving us with Greggsy as number 1, RMcC as back up and Firth as back up as both.



27 Jan 2019 09:49:28
Did as a solid back up not sold back up

Cup games not CIL games

Don’t think I’ve up sobered yet.



27 Jan 2019 14:14:35
But what about this keeper we have on trial still. To me it doesn't make sense. He has a no1 ability but got greegs fod and new guy already with RMCC coming back at end of season.
