Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


29 Feb 2020 23:20:05
Think that was our worst performance of the season. Bring back docherty soon as . Got to be better than some of the imposters we've got just now . Beginning to worry about sg but the players have let him and us down big time.



01 Mar 2020 01:43:38
Yip, bring back Docherty because Davis has been rank rotten.



01 Mar 2020 04:16:08
I ve seen a few posts on various sites that you need players like Ross mccrorie etc for games like these because they care and get stuck in and I now agree where as before I might not have, we need to match these teams fight wise and all good rangers sides from the past have always had your bang average Scottish grafters in there with limited ability but they do the hard yards for the more capable players. Davis showing his age in games like the hearts ones, Aribo was an empty jersey arfield when on struggled and so did jack. Kamara can’t be trusted at present. that’s the whole midfield.



29 Feb 2020 23:15:54
Whats peoples thoughts on Mcgregor, I know he has made some great saves this season but do we think this is his last season as 1st choice. don't think he commands the box enough and doenst come out quick enough IMO. Love shag but is it time for bigger and faster keeper. If we were going for a new keeper any suggestions.



29 Feb 2020 23:58:59
Not sure how to reply without shaking my head. Remember a week ago when we were 2 down to Braga at the Brox when he made a great save. That’s the difference between being in the last 16 and going out to Copenhagen.



01 Mar 2020 00:31:45
Only one that shows passion and knows what it's about.



01 Mar 2020 04:17:43
I agree mcgregor is tremendous, but he did match tavs clanger by equalling it in stupidity the player was heading out wide he should have stayed. double clanger but they were not the only ones. just that one ended in a goal.



01 Mar 2020 07:05:20
We lost 1 nil. Was captain marvel that flogged the goal again not mcgregor.



29 Feb 2020 22:55:33
no player came out of tonights game with pass marks but how bad was our defence looked like they had never played together before, worse game barasic has had for a long time.



29 Feb 2020 22:54:23
Ok guys go easy first time poster and I know we are all hurting. I am old enough to remember when they got to the end of their 9IR and the really dark days of the early 80s when we were finishing 4th and not even qualifying for Europe, played Bristol city and others in the inter city cup or whatever it was called. Clearly also remember the recent demise and coming back to the league's. So whatever happens we follow through thick and thin but we have the right to be critical of the team and today we were awful. What is the way forward? I wish I knew, is it Gerrard, again I wish I knew! He has clearly made mistakes but also taken us forward, progress has been made but we still have no trophies, which is what we will be judged on. Are we too focused on 10IR to allow him to build for the future or is he not learning? Either way we must follow follow on because that's what we do. Hope he gets it right and build s dynasty but if he continues to get it wrong how long do we stick?



01 Mar 2020 00:20:35
Shugie, well come aboard mate, hear hear, with your post.



01 Mar 2020 07:11:31
I think we will stick with him next season but he needs to be more flexible with selections and formations, he’s looking a little like mark Warburton at the moment but he’s been able to get in better players than Warburton. there’s also the issues with guys like docherty / Jones and Murphy not getting anywhere near our squads, mccrorie could be doing a turn aswell. Watching us play ojo again is going to grate with the support aswell, when we need fighters he plays ojo.



29 Feb 2020 22:42:15
So lads, everyone of us wanted Gerrard to succeed, now that he hasn't brought a trophy to Ibrox, who wants him to go? Ed can you please do an updated pole - is it time for a new manager, yes or no?



{Ed033's Note -


Rangers manager poll

29 Feb 2020 22:41:37
Neil Warnock! of all the teams he's managed and there have been many he's got a win percentage of 40.1 % Gerrard in less than 2 years has 60%
Why would we want an old man topping up his pension with such a poor win ratio?
I'm in no way condoning tonight far from it but to throw out names like that is knee jerk
Reactions
We definitely need a more physical spine next year regardless of who's at the helm
In our glory years we always had that
And if we're on a budget Cosgrove or Dykes would be on my list we need a John brown/ Iain Ferguson type in midfield and butcher/ Gough type at the back ROSS Wilson needs to get onto it
The lack of fight stunned me tonight absolutely abject but is a like of fight in players a manager fault? where's the professional pride, surely the minimum we can expect us 100% effort? wasn't even close to that. Morelos shown complete disdain for the manger and club and fan's he's found a new way to let us down! after the backing he's had should be ashamed of himself.



29 Feb 2020 23:14:45
Win ratios are nonsense. It’s all about context. Warnock has spent his career working miracles with small clubs. I’m not saying I want Warnock, I don’t, just saying winning 40% of games with a small club can be more of an achievement than winning 60% of games with a big club. Win 40% of games with Hamilton and you’re a club legend, win 60% of games with Bayern Munich and you’ll be out the door.



29 Feb 2020 23:34:48
Exactly! small clubs why do others think he’d do anything up here? and to say ratios don’t matter is crazy nothing to do with context it’s a fact! over his managerial career he’s got an average win ratio of 40.1%
Over many many years and many teams it’s not with one team so if you think that’s acceptable I can’t agree
I appreciate you don’t want him nor do I but other on here seem to
And if you check you’ll see most top managers over their careers are in the 60/ 70% win ratio.



29 Feb 2020 23:44:54
Totally disregarded what I said. Guardiola probably has a 60% win rate but he’s only ever managed Barca, Bayern and Man City. If he had come up through the leagues, or started out with a small club, his % would be lower even if he went to those clubs later.



01 Mar 2020 00:35:23
Warnock 40%. How long has he managed though. You could manage for 10 years. Win every game for 4 years, then lose every game for the next 6. Does that make you a bad manager the whole time?



29 Feb 2020 22:24:22
Take away all the disappointment we all feel at the result I felt really sorry for Gerrard after his press conferences. If half our players hurt as he clearly does we'd be top of the league. I hope he stays once he's had time to think as I do think the loyalty he's shown to certain players will end. 1 more season stevie.



29 Feb 2020 21:44:07
Not on to say I told you so, I have said what I think about SG and his tactic.
What I do want to say is I feel sorry for him. Just seen his post match interview and he is hurting. His players let him, the club and the fans down again.
What is going on, do too many have a small team mentality, only raise their game for the bigger games but then I think back to pre winter break, playing well and winning. Totally bewildered by this team.
Is it just a case that too many of the players are not good enough mixed in with the predictable style of play or one or the other.
I hope SG uses the rest of the season to find an alternative system to play, may as well as nothing to play for now domestically.



29 Feb 2020 22:34:25
Geez, seriously, you feel sorry for him? I can't understand that. We've been poor since the break and he can't do anything to sort it. 1 shot on target against the worst team in the premiership. How much is our team worth and how much are they getting paid? Gerrard and his players should be embarrassed.



29 Feb 2020 23:04:12
He says he's going to have to do some thinking over the next 24 - 48 hours. I hope its thinking about who he's going to pick to wear those famous shirts after todays performance. I just want to see the shirts worn by players who appreciate what an honour it is to play for this club and its supporters, because clearly today most of them have got no idea.



29 Feb 2020 21:39:24
Watched gaffers post match presser obviously distraught, whatever his failings the guy seems to care certainly more than some of the imposters in that blue shirt
I'd be stunned if he walked just not in his nature
He may decide to go in summer but I couldn't see him leaving when technically we could still win league as highly unlikely as that is and I'm sure he's taken us this far in Europe he would want to finish that journey.



29 Feb 2020 21:55:56
SG doesn’t do quitting. Hurting though and needs good friends. Think perhaps guilty of being too loyal to members of coaching staff with limited experience. Surround yourself with people who know more than you do.



29 Feb 2020 22:16:58
Perhaps guilty of terrible signings.



29 Feb 2020 22:20:50
So its the coaching staff that are to blame and not gerrard. Brilliant bankie, you are as deluded as DK19👍.



29 Feb 2020 22:31:34
I think Stevie G should let some of the players take the press conference after a game like that. Almost all the same players were doing well until the winter break and we were winning games and the team were playing well. I think it's about time the players stand up and show what they can do. Its the same formations that were winning games before the break. Maybe Stevie should let one or two of the youngsters come into the matchday squad or even start one of them. I'm sure they would show passion to play for the team.



29 Feb 2020 22:58:31
Ok. yoye team played fantastic in Europe and throughly deserved the win. The manager and his team got tactics bang on! Unlike my team. Today the hunger from hearts win the game. SG must be credited for the challenge and some great results. Just a game lads as my dad used to say, you got to work tomorrow.



29 Feb 2020 23:16:17
Technically I could still play for Rangers, but I don’t see it happening, as much chance of us technically winning the league though 😂.



29 Feb 2020 22:45:56
Don’t try and take the moral high ground coldo you claim katic is our best defender and I like him but he has paid massively to the mess we are in 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.



01 Mar 2020 00:10:09
You were nowhere to be seen when the players you love have cost us dearly 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.



01 Mar 2020 10:09:14
Katic is our best defender. Which players has cost us dearly🤔🤷‍♂️👍👍👍.



29 Feb 2020 21:29:30
Gerrard is not a quitter and never has been His priority will be to fix this team for next year! Tavernier for me is not a captain and it should go to somebody with more voice and commands more

If it were me I'd be looking at Arfield for captain!



29 Feb 2020 21:50:00
Tav is a joke captain. You need a voice, warrior and leader on the park. He is none of these. Worse than Wallace in my opinion.



29 Feb 2020 22:01:51
Hes stuck with Tav as captain for almost 2 years. Why change that now?



29 Feb 2020 22:01:55
Like ojo, Kent and ejaria

Eh NAW!



29 Feb 2020 22:21:35
Go get naismith👍.



01 Mar 2020 06:38:56
Ryan jack should be captain, he’s the only guy I’ve heard saying the right things in interviews etc Tavernier does my nut in in interviews 😆😂😆 just doesn’t have captain material, when do u ever see him jarring a player on the field?

Like maybe signal to Morelos to stay fkn calm n sht? Hagi pulled us through the Braga tie at ibrox and was more like an animated captain than taverniers ever looked on the field and hagis still a youngster as well 😤.



01 Mar 2020 07:03:55
No please don't get Naismith. he's a walk away and always will be.



01 Mar 2020 10:09:54
So was davis and mcgregor🤦‍♂️👍.



29 Feb 2020 21:25:54
Hearts are bottom of the league for one reason they are Sh++e. Other teams go to their place and turn them over, we sadly sre just not good enough.



29 Feb 2020 21:25:15
Just seen gerrads post match interview think he is as lost as us as to why supposed professionals players can play so bad, davis should be nowhere near the team been dire for weeks, ojo isn't even a football player and McGregor / tav need to take responsibility. Would recall mcrorie and docherty immediately along with jones and get them straight back into the team.



29 Feb 2020 21:52:25
People need to give up with Jones, he’s one of the worst attitudes. Agree on the other two though.



29 Feb 2020 22:33:40
Surely he's better than stewart and ojo, was playing well before he was injured just think gerrad has binned him. don't know where we go from here after the high of mid week back to this p*ish. Too many thinking they can just stroll it. Edmondson should have equalised tho and ref was a joke for both teams, surely needs to be demoted after that display.



29 Feb 2020 23:16:59
Would have Murphy back before Jones, twice the player.



29 Feb 2020 21:22:09
Still fuming at the disaster tonight. let's go through this. Hull. Wigan. Brighton. Oldham. Oscijk. Charlton. Southampton. Aberdeen. Burnley Liverpool reserves kilmarnock I think. That's where we have got this shower from all from lower leagues or fighting relegation in premiership and a sub nearer 40 and another sub from liverpool reserves who would not get a game with fauldhouse united. WHAT DO WE DO NOW.



29 Feb 2020 21:53:15
100% correct mate. Signings are absolutely shocking. I have looked at Celtic managers who have had 3 year or more and Barnes, macari, venglos, Delila all got bombed even though Deila was successful

Only burns got 3 years and even he won a Scottish cup.



29 Feb 2020 21:17:42
Say gerrard does walk away or is replaced who do the fans want in to replace him
as manager
or do we stick with him and give him another season.



29 Feb 2020 21:54:35
Neil Warnock till end of season if he goes.



29 Feb 2020 21:57:17
No more seasons for Gerrard, it's clear he hasn't got it regarding Scottish football, he's appears to be stubborn with his team selection and naive withhis substitutions. He has spent a fortune and got us no where domestically. If he wasn't Steven Gerrard then he would be away.



29 Feb 2020 21:59:48
Anybody Craig’s, anybody. Right now I would take Stendhal in a heartbeat. Twice his team had shown more heart and determination than ours.



29 Feb 2020 21:17:42
I was at tynecastle this evening as i'm at most rangers games anywhere we are. I have to admit in my assessment, that that performance has to be the worst of any rangers team ever at tynecastle. What hurts me more than anything, was that hearts wanted it more and that's not acceptable at a club of our standing! Steven Gerrard for me gets a 3rd season as rangers manager but IMHO, here's what he has to do. He has to be bold and brutal and shed players that just can't continue on this journey with him by making massive decisions on his playing staff! Gerrard has to sign players this summer, who have physicality for the scottish league as well as ability and blend it with the skilful players we currently have at rangers. If he doesn't, he won't get a 4th season as rangers manager! He must get players in that can play for rangers and handle the expectations that our supporters rightfully have for our unique football institution! The rangers jersey for some of our current players, is far too heavy for them to wear! In the roseburn stand tonight at tynecastle near the end, we were mostly all in agreement with this! That was a spineless performance from our team tonight and we must look at different style of players who can mix it up and play in this scottish league! I just can't accept that we weren't as hungry as hearts tonight in what's almost certain our last chance of silverware gone for us now this season! Like i said and this is only my opinion, gerrard get another season for me as our manager, but must stop 10 in a row, if as expected now, they go on to clinch 9 and at the very least must win silverware as rangers manager next season or there's no 4th year in charge! This is coming from a supporter who continually backs and sticks by gerrard, as i'm a fan of his. Its now down to that he needs to be ruthless or lose his job as this just can't go on limping along! I'm most certainly hurting here big time!



29 Feb 2020 21:51:59
100% with you another great post 👏👏.



29 Feb 2020 21:54:15
You’re still not hurting enough if you’re still clinging to Gerrard mate. I admire your loyalty but wake up and smell the coffee. He brought these duds in, he picks them and he motivates them. We held Warburton and Pedro accountable for those things, can’t make an exception for him no matter how much we all like him.



29 Feb 2020 21:56:46
well said sgl--.



29 Feb 2020 22:02:16
SGL - very well put I can’t fault your post these same players were right init two month ago but when we got to the most important bit of the season they couldn’t handle it, I watched his interview he was hurting so much you could feel it, but I wonder how many of those players were hurting they went out there today and gave nothing for this club, I agree I’d give him one more season as bringing in new manager would be another gamble and an expensive one at that, I also agree we have to many players who can’t stand up to the Scottish game but you don’t know that till you sign them so they must be weeded out and we need leaders on the park this lot are followers, I’m hurting as Mitch as anyone on here but I just don’t think it’s time for such a drastic decision.



29 Feb 2020 22:03:00
SGL, Take of the blinkers my friend, Gerrard has failed domestically again and with the amount of money he's spent we should be winning cups. I like everyone else wanted him to succeed but we cannot give him chance after chance because he's Steven Gerrard.



29 Feb 2020 22:03:15
Sorry SGL that has been his job from day 1 and in your honest assessment it sounds as though he has failed! Fingers crossed he is gone by tomorrow because we simply can’t trust him with more money to throw away in the summer.



29 Feb 2020 22:03:45
I like your post mate but give SG a 3rd season? We can't man.



29 Feb 2020 22:04:06
100%

Accept and Agee with this assessment
But how can this happen based on signings to date?



01 Mar 2020 00:37:51
S. g. l you stole my thunder mate, I've been nsaying on here for weeks now, that is the only way for gerrard to go, battle hardened s. p. f. l players, that know what rangers means.



29 Feb 2020 21:13:59
Only just finished laughing at how crap we were tonight. Thought it was an episode of still game. I'm going to say it for the ten millionth time. Our effin 4-3-3 is sh***. WTF Why the f has Gerrard not learned this yet. A 4-4-2 with Defoe and Stewart up front would have been a better idea, rather than his unbelievable 4-3-3 copying Liverpool. They have good players. Ours are average and are no use in that system. I don't want SG gone, but he has to look at his staff or himself to change the predictable p*sh. Everyone's getting sick of it. Europe takes our eyes off the truth but we lost to the worst team in Scotland. Time has begun ticking. I don't think the board will be very happy. Europe's money's good, but trophies are what makes a winner. So far none. Tick tock. Tick tock.



29 Feb 2020 21:48:40
Can't believe you are laughing after that rossco. I feel like greetin tbh. Just heard the boss's post match interview and I think he is gping to walk. I agree with him, he has been badly let down.



29 Feb 2020 21:11:02
Hard to get my head around how bad a performance that was tonight, with not one player earning pass marks. What a change from the superb showing against Braga on Wednesday, and it's just inexplicable, no fight, no guile, no passing, no performances, no passion, it was like a different team was out there.



29 Feb 2020 21:49:18
Hard to explain. I'm lost for words.



29 Feb 2020 21:09:25
Still believe if coisty had had the resources that our last 3 managers had he would have made a better job of things . I'm absolutely sick after that performance today and don't know where we go from here . Every time we think we've turned a corner we get knocked down and back to square one . definitely think it could be over now for gerard.



29 Feb 2020 21:40:06
You are having a laugh surely. Too many bad signings to list.



29 Feb 2020 22:45:45
Ojo, Stewart, Jones, barkers, Polster, Edmundson, coulibally, grezda, Lafferty etc and Super ally’s signing were bad!



29 Feb 2020 21:08:53
As much as I hate to say it, I think this job is too much for Stevie. I would have loved it to be successful as this club deserves it after what we've put through the past 8 or 9 years
The same thing is playing out with Frankie boy at Chelsea - too much too soon
This proves there is nothing to replace experience at this level - if he does go Neil Warnock to step in for remainder of season then regroup.
I hope these events are cyclic and we get on top again I couldn't take another 10 seasons of banter years.



29 Feb 2020 21:00:55
Stevie G tonights post match says it all, he has to think. ye think of his reputation. He is a young manager and as much as wednesday night built his stock todays result has brought him crashing down. He is thinking of jumping before he is pushed.



29 Feb 2020 21:08:41
Just signed 4 year extension. we can't afford to push him so let's hope he jumps.



29 Feb 2020 21:11:39
I think he should, he's simply not good enough for Rangers, plus if he were to quit then he'd be saving Rangers a fortune. The sooner the better.



29 Feb 2020 21:22:57
Seen interview sounded like he might go.



29 Feb 2020 21:24:32
I just watched the interview, he is devastated by our performance and is hurting, as are we. I see no reason for thinking he will quit, he has the last 16 tie in the Europa and the league is not over yet, although will be difficult. We need to pick ourselves up and never give up.



29 Feb 2020 21:35:12
Does he want the supporters to feel sorry for him because he said he has to think. Do the right thing and hand your notice in.



29 Feb 2020 21:40:21
Just agreed with that by mistake. People saying after watching the interview he’s ready to walk. Sorry but I have to disagree. What I saw was a man who’s hurting just as much as us and has been let down yet again by his players. Edmondon must play. I like him but he was dreadful. Drop Morelos. Yip. People screaming for players like Stuart to get a chance. Dreadful. Defoe just back from injury and we lost jack and arfield mid game so f**k knows what you want the manager to do. We were rank rotten and the man has apologised to the fans and shouldered the blame.



29 Feb 2020 21:44:16
Stevie formation will work in another league and has worked in Europe. He will get another job no problem. He now knows the Scottish league is a slugging league outside the old firm games and will probably jump. Only good thing is our team is worth a wee bit and should hopefully free up cash. A 442 with Hagi playing just in front of the front 2 would be a good start.



29 Feb 2020 21:50:31
And who do we bring in. Can't just keep changing managers. He is learning and although the pain is hard to take, we have made progress. We have beat some great teams in Europe and if not for stupid injuries and suspension we would have been able to keep the same 11 week in week out. If he goes he is simply bottling it.



01 Mar 2020 00:41:39
Everysaturday, hear, hear, mate.



29 Feb 2020 21:00:31
Any1 who saw Gerrard interview after match get same feeling as me that he's going to quit.



29 Feb 2020 21:14:39
Personally I don't think he should. Not with the possibility of a quarter final place in a European tournament in a few weeks time.

Gutted at that result today though. And I'm very angry at Alfredo.



29 Feb 2020 21:33:49
SG does not do quitting. He is hurting like hell though and needs good friends to speak with over next few days. With no recognised striker today it was always going to be tough. I think the decision to axe Morelos whilst correct actually backfired and had a negative impact on the mental state and focus of the other players, some of whom are just not good enough.



29 Feb 2020 21:53:07
I'm the same geronimo. This is a good squad with good players as evidenced by Wednesday night. That same squad has let us and their managet down badly. I expect Stevie to walk. Hope not but I wouldn't be surprised.



29 Feb 2020 22:11:42
BizzmyBrox, did you honestly just say the league is not yet over? I hate to break it to you but it's been over for weeks.



29 Feb 2020 20:59:32
Im now 50/ 50 with SG and team not cut our for the SPL for whatever reason. Big decision for the board now. Would allow SG for next Europa and Celtic games and take it form there. If we get beat in all then who knows. I just can't get my head around our collapse. I think Beale has a lot to do with it.



29 Feb 2020 21:07:11
Don’t start on Beale to protect Gerrard. That’s just embarrassing. Gerrard is his own man, he takes the credit if we win, he takes the blame if we lose.



29 Feb 2020 21:27:04
Gerrard is not a quitter! He will fix this team for next year and this should be his priority before starting next season!



29 Feb 2020 21:41:47
Beale is the head coach.



29 Feb 2020 21:42:52
To do well in Football you need to fully respect all aspects and challenges of the league competing in and prepare yourself and all aspects of the team accordingly.



29 Feb 2020 20:54:19
Sorry but I'm finished with Gerrard
Said last season we shouldn't be a training ground for an apprentice
Warburtons was the same couldn't change a game either
Something has happened we have been passh since we beat the thanks
Also fed up with morelos
Said sell in the summer he is to much trouble.



29 Feb 2020 21:21:16
Ok mbb21 and of course you're very much entitled to your opinion, who do you think our board should bring in to replace gerrard as rangers manager mate? Only asking a simple question and what your thoughts are here pal! No hidden agenda!



29 Feb 2020 20:41:32
Right now if the managers names wasn't Steven Gerrard he would be sacked. Now now I'm a fan of SG. But he got his name slippy G for a reason. Now it's catching up. I think it's time to remove me Gerrard and bring in a manager that will not pick his favourites. The league is gone.

But mathematics we can still win it if Celtic drop points. The cups are gone.

Europa League there is no chance. Leverkusen will destroy us. One name stands out Kai havetz.

I just think we should as a fan base stand up to this and get the board to spend money on a manger that can win things not someone taking the seat for the first time.

That's my opinion on this.



29 Feb 2020 20:56:59
So what do you mean as a fan base we should stand up? And do what exactly.



29 Feb 2020 21:06:16
Taking the blinkers off would be a start.



29 Feb 2020 21:06:42
Twacoos. Start a protest to get him out. We should be sitting pretty in the league challenging Celtic with this game in hand to sit top. Not sitting 12 pp NTS behind and out and other cup. Gerrard as manager sounds great but he's in a league that's a two horse race ( well should be ) and he can't even cut it to a point. it's time for him to leave!



29 Feb 2020 21:18:27
We are all entitled to an opinion of course but poor Mr Gerrard if all his "fans" are like the opening poster and want him sacked.
To bring in who? How much will it cost to again throw the baby out with the bath water?
He has started making substitutions earlier. He will hopefully soon realise James Tavernier is absolutely not a captain and his perennial absence in defense hugely reduces the odds of a clean sheet.
Some didn't fancy Candieas but boy did he help cover up Tavernier's defensive frailties.
I think we all know Hearts cannot handle a team playing two up front against them but with Kamberi being cup tied, Morelos out of form and out of favour and Defoe maybe not ready to play 90 minutes the options were few today.
Things can only get better - and they will- c'mon SG - "Let's go. "



29 Feb 2020 21:28:33
No I honestly don’t understand what that means.



29 Feb 2020 20:49:09
I just love the fact on here no matter how we play week in weekout the formation the players performances its never sgs fault and he should stay in the job, wish i had that at work, underperform with my decisionsand its ok.



29 Feb 2020 20:40:08
Gerrard to walk in the next 48 hours. After hearing what he said he's gone. Its what's needed to be honest. Another mass clear out in summer god help us.



29 Feb 2020 20:47:57
Not a moment too soon. SGL or Tupac appeared yet?



29 Feb 2020 20:52:05
Don’t think that’s what is needed as it will set us back further.



29 Feb 2020 20:34:42
After listening to Mr G post match interview, I have the feeling he is going to resign.



29 Feb 2020 20:45:43
We can only hope.



29 Feb 2020 20:45:58
I'm with you there - if he thinks that continuing to win nothing will affect his long term aim of the Liverpool job then I can see him walking - after all, he's a Liverpool man, not a Rangers man. Although I think he's no chance of getting the Liverpool job to be honest.



29 Feb 2020 20:27:48
Ian1964 how can you expect to win a game if you don't get the ball in the box?
Seriously no matter what SG talks about in his pre-match team talk, when I played football and you got turned over by a team who showed more passion and desire and you would talk about it it training yourselves and make sure that the next game against that team never turned out the same way. every supporter knew how Hearts were going to play tonight but the players seemed oblivious yet again? . second to every ball. it happens too often domestically, it's as if the players can't get up for the fight. who's to blame? . is it SG? Where's the blood and guts for the jersey? . it now looks as though we will be missing a few with injuries as well now so it's just bad to worse.



29 Feb 2020 20:42:46
Sometimes it feels like we need someone on the pitch to give a few a right earful. There is no one who grabs the game by the scruff of the neck and gets everyone up for it.



29 Feb 2020 20:25:30
Easy solution to this rubbisharama I'm seeing unfold before me. Gerrard to manage team in Europe and D Fergusson to manage domestic games. Gerrard has final say on transfers, Fergie uses same coaching facilities and resources with Sir W as nonexecutive director of football
Easy man.



29 Feb 2020 20:18:32
Unless Mr G takes us to Gdansk, I think it could be all over for the scoucers. Europa League Exceptional x 2 Years Money for the Club . Scottish Comps, 0 from 6 . Not good enough, in fact 1 final only in 2 years . 3 times we have played at Tynecastle this season and SG has still not worked out how to play them, to me there's a lack of intelligence, or blinded by his own system . Open your eyes Mr G, stop just listening to M Beale .



29 Feb 2020 20:34:09
I agree, SG as a manager i'm with but MB has no experience in SPL we need a Scottish SPL coach in the mix.



29 Feb 2020 20:40:29
We ain't getting to europa league final, bayern will pump us.



29 Feb 2020 20:59:54
Bayern? There in the Champions League.



29 Feb 2020 20:50:50
When did we draw Munich. I will give you a spelling mistake.



29 Feb 2020 20:53:42
Tjbb that’s why Gary mc allister is there.



29 Feb 2020 20:18:31
Did Gerrard shake the Hearts managers hand as I thought I saw him walk straight up the tunnel ?



29 Feb 2020 20:10:56
We should sign Dykes, cosgrove, kamberi and brophy and play 2 from 4 of these monsters up front every December-April. because we cannot play tippy tappy warburton football in bad weather.



29 Feb 2020 20:03:58
I think gerrard should remain manager but he needs to find more physical robust players who have winning mentality.



29 Feb 2020 20:26:26
Why? What evidence has he given to prove he should be given even more money to sign players to play in Scotland when 2 seasons and 4 transfer windows worth of evidence would say otherwise?



29 Feb 2020 20:27:55
No he shouldn’t

His signings record is shockingl!



29 Feb 2020 20:42:37
I know football isn't all about finances I would love a bit of silverware but if you take into account the two runs we have had in Europe in the last two years he has probably kept the club afloat.



29 Feb 2020 20:55:35
We don’t have 7 million for defenders or 3.5 million for guys who can’t make the bench.



29 Feb 2020 20:01:35
If morelos isn't working his ticket to leave at a knock down price he's taking the pish out the club i wouldn't play him again this this season its but sell him asap cost us mant times with his attitude.



29 Feb 2020 19:59:59
sorry lads but i am not one for calling for someone to be sacked, but i think gerrard and his backroom team should walk, he has got no comprehension of how to play in scotland, hi tactics and players are inept, davis is finished, ojo is useless, stewart up front then moved over wide, tav brutal, he even had kamara stripped off to come on then sent hagi on, what's all that about, defoe should have been on from the start, although alfie is in the bad books he should have been there and played, its took him 18 months to pull him up and he waits till tonight to do it, proving his point has just ruined our season, i cannot believe i actually watched that crap till the end, surprised the telly made it till the end, rant over could not care less about the rest of the season, hope he does the decent thing but don't think he will.



29 Feb 2020 20:34:13
Great post. can't argue.



29 Feb 2020 19:57:13
One other thing. I'm on the fence the now in terms of Gerrard. But after thursday, the people who are for gerrard come on here and say "where are the gerrard bashers" and so on. Well where are the ones that praise gerrard the now? Why are they not on holding there hands up? What I'm basically saying is everyone should be entitled to there opinion without ridicule. Each to there own, but don't jump down someone's throat for having their opinion. At the end of the day, we all want what's best for glasgow rangers. No ones bigger than the club.



29 Feb 2020 20:03:03
Yep, waiting on Tupac and SGL and the rest who have been giving me pelters to come on. I told them I would be here waiting when people started to come around to what I knew months ago. Tide is turning lads.



29 Feb 2020 20:09:06
I was one who said we should not sack him and I still don’t we need to spend the money on two or three players and I mean leaders we lack that when things are not going for us we go inside ourselves.



29 Feb 2020 20:25:43
I’ve always backed Tav but I can’t defend him anymore. I know he was just one player in a shambolic performance. I expect to get pelters for this but I blame Greegs just as much as Tav for the goal. I think he should have seen that Tav was stretching and got to the ball before Hearts boy.



29 Feb 2020 20:29:26
How, how can you possibly trust I’m with more money!



29 Feb 2020 20:34:52
Goldson is gerrards leader oh and tav. Laughable. he's bought some horrors. Needs to walk times up. 20 mill spent on duds.



29 Feb 2020 20:35:43
You kidding Twacoos? Waste more money?
Come on. he's bought about 30 odd players and there's no one leader amongst them!



29 Feb 2020 20:36:17
Twacoos, I would not sack him however as I have said we need about five players straight into team not squad players.
Just back from braga, booked Leverkusen, been to st jophse Poland Porto Feyenoord Dubai. Team and manager need to give us more in domestic games
Won’t win anything with Davies tav Stewart Kent etc.



29 Feb 2020 20:37:57
Swagman you sound as if your a happy man but we’re you not the guy that said it wouldn’t be a bad thing if Livi beat us a couple of weeks ago. We get it you don’t like the manager.



29 Feb 2020 21:07:03
John25 I agree at the break we were two points behind with a game in hand and the goal difference was exactly the same it’s then we should have rolled out the boat a bit but we got two loan players neither was getting a game for their clubs think that showed we don’t have the cash, also a lot of his players have been freebies or loans so I just don’t see where the money to pay up contracts and fund a rebuild would come from I think we would struggle that only my view I’m really fed up after that today but I blame the players they have not turned up since Celtic park.



29 Feb 2020 19:55:47
does no-one see the pattern liverpool won nothing domestically whilst he played other than a champions league final they were lucky to win guess its carry on as per usual such a shame after wednesday .



29 Feb 2020 20:03:17
Ano mate only a champions league final what a flop.



29 Feb 2020 20:15:49
Nonsense.



29 Feb 2020 20:26:18
Ridiculous comparison. He's a young inexperienced manager who's done reasonably well at Rangers- better in Europe than domestically granted however with the finances he has he's in the right position in the league. Rangers took a chance with him and it's not been a big success - brought respectability back in Europe and in old firm games however some of his tactics and signings have not worked out but he's not a miracle worker.



29 Feb 2020 19:53:41
The Muppet, 1 out of 2 isn't good enough mate, I've failed in my prediction, what was that tonight. If they need a driver to take Morelos to the airport, I'm available, forget his goals, he's cost our Club with his attitude.



29 Feb 2020 20:05:25
I’ve fell into this trap before at work going off on someone for being absent only to find out something serious happened at home. I am not happy with Morelos either but let’s find out all of the facts first eh.



29 Feb 2020 20:11:07
Morelos, Morelos? By all means bomb him if you have a plan. If not, it lies with the boss, the lack of discipline and the lack of cover. Bomb them both.



29 Feb 2020 20:12:19
Irvger not many saw this performance coming on the back of Thursday night where we were outstanding. My guess is the team are not prepared to play for Gerrard, exactly why I don't know, but they can up their game when they want to. Thnk Gerrard has lost the dressing room. Morelos needs to be taught a lesson, and kept out the team until a buyer is found which is going to be difficult now. Are you going to predict the result of the Leverkusen match now or you want to wait until closer to the time haha.



29 Feb 2020 20:20:12
100% -and he can take his fancy car with him--enuf is enuf.



29 Feb 2020 20:58:13
The Muppet, I need to get a new calculator to count the goals (against), I can't see us doing anything against them, can you. Remember this though folks, there are bigger things in life than losing a football match.



29 Feb 2020 19:52:00
I can you possibly expect to win a game when you don't start with a centre forward.



29 Feb 2020 20:17:44
How many times has tavernier cost us his season?
The guy can not defend and for everyone who says he contributes with assists can someone tell me the last time he put a decent ball into the box.
He is no good and has to go.
Also for everyone who said Stewart should be given a chance up top there is your answer why he hasn’t.
How many times a game does Davis pass the ball to an opponent.
We need a massive rebuild again as half of that team do not have the ability or mentality to wear that jersey.
Another season trophy less and they will no doubt go on and win their 4th treble on the trot.
Europe has papered over the cracks.



29 Feb 2020 19:51:44
Shocking performance. outplayed and outfought yet again by Hearts, same can be said this season against Kilmarnock, Aberdeen etc. this keeps happening but why? . we know what to expect every time we play these teams who are full of passion and desire to put one over on us! . why can we not show the same desire? . we know what to expect but can't raise our levels to even try and put up a fight. today was the worst I've seen. we couldn't get the ball in the box but we put Defoe on who's a penalty box predator, we had one shot on target in 90 mins. since the break we have given nothing! . no passion, no desire, no will to win. we are playing like a team who doesn't know each other. we can't string two passes together? Something's seriously wrong and it has to come out as we can't take much more of this! .



29 Feb 2020 20:09:54
His times up. Hopefully wake up in morning and he's resigned.



01 Mar 2020 06:52:59
4 3 3 doesn't cut it uphete yet SG firces this formation on us week in week out. If you control the midfield you control the game. Three of our lot in there against four who want it more and are more aggresive won't work. Everone wants to beat us because of what's gone before with liquidation etc but we don't have stomach for the fight and that is a disgrace.



29 Feb 2020 19:44:26
Total and utter disgrace today. If you still think Gerrard is the right man to take us forward we are in massive trouble don't hit me with we have progressed . Won nothing AGAIN . That is not progression. I just seen us being out played and out fought by a very poor Hearts team .

Tavernier and Goldson that our captain and vice captain wow .

We have some major work to do in the summer starting with a new manager .

If Rangers fans believe this to be acceptable then our standards have gone.

Soft, no fight, no bottle, not anywhere near good enough.

Gerrard to be sacked. Wanted him to succeed like I do all Rangers manager

Shocking appointment by the board . You don't give the biggest job in Scottish Football to the Liverpool under 23s manager.



29 Feb 2020 19:57:16
Agree with every. Single. Word.



29 Feb 2020 19:59:37
The manager seems to play one system. It does not matter the calibre of the opposition whether it's the famous RM (Real Madrid) or the famous ASL (Auchenshuggle Stank Lifters) he will start the game with a single striker. We are Rangers and we should never be rolled over by a team like Hearts. We lost one nothing and were lucky to get nothing.



29 Feb 2020 20:07:43
Swagman you were crying out for Stuart to get a chance. Not blaming him because they were all rotten but did he touch the ball?



29 Feb 2020 20:41:53
Agreed Anotherbear - surely other fans need to stop being so blinded by the Stevie Gerard name and look at the bigger picture - we're only just over half way through the season and our season is finished. To me, that is unacceptable for Glasgow Rangers. Losing games I can accept, but to lose games without any fight, effort, organisation is a disgrace. Europe has been nice, but we're not going to win the Europa League - the league is our bread and butter and for 2 season's in a row, we're out of contention in February. If Gerard can't see that his tactics don't work now then maybe a change his needed now, cause we've just handed them a quadruple treble and then in all probability 10 in a row.



29 Feb 2020 19:41:11
Well what do u say after that. Players cheating all fans and the manager. Can't play as we did on Wed then turn in a shambolic performance like that. Gerrard has to clear out 4 or 5 of the usual suspects ASAP or its his job. Can't believe what iv just watched.



29 Feb 2020 20:11:12
NO cannot clear players out mid season. Its the manager who has to go. single minded unable to change formation. Just another warburton.



29 Feb 2020 20:12:47
He signed all those you want out. How can he be given more cash?



29 Feb 2020 20:30:47
I was at tynecastle this evening just like i'm at practically all rangers games. I totally agree that that has to be one of the worst, if not the worst performance from any rangers team at tynecastle! No backbone and so spineless and the thing that hurt me the most was that hearts wanted it more and that's not acceptable at a club as massive as us! This IMHO is what has to happen and a lot of us talking near the end in the roseburn stand tonight were in agreement. Gerrard MUST shed the players he can't allow to continue on the journey with him, or it will be him who loses his job. He has to be very ruthless and find the correct blend of signing players who can play against certain physical teams in this league and can carry the expectation of wearing the rangers jersey, which he must see, is far too heavy for a good few of our players, currently at rangers. He must mould the perfect blend of our skilful players with players who can put their foot in and mix it, when needed and when the going gets tough. Gerrard gets a 3rd season as rangers manager for me, but if he doesn't do what i've just stated what i feel he needs to do, then he won't get a 4th season as rangers manager, simple as that!



29 Feb 2020 20:38:05
There no way he can given a 3rd season.



29 Feb 2020 19:39:45
Spineless gutless performance. what a bunch of jellyfish! Absolute letdown, and I include Alfredo in that also.



29 Feb 2020 20:02:03
Gerrard, I'm afraid, will be off in the summer, if not sooner. I know it's been mooted on here before, but there has definitely been an incident in Dubai. There must be a split in the camp of some degree, maybe more than one! Where does the Gerrard/ Morelos relationship go from here? The prospect of having an amazing and successful season has imploded, and it all began during the break in Dubai. It will all come out at some point. soon!



29 Feb 2020 19:38:38
since our chances of winning anything for this season are now over
do fellow fans think this lies with the manger for failing to change tactics when things are not working and being stubborn.
and failing to manage his players properly something has clearly happend on that January Dubai trip.
i think his constant criticism of players also has had a effect on the team when we are winning he does this to them he should be trying build confidence.
or does the blame lie with the players and there lack of fight and not aggressive enough
or is it some of these players are just not good enough
and do we now need sell them and build again for next season.



29 Feb 2020 19:48:57
Certainly saw no lack of fight on Wednesday. I think this lot think they are big time charlies. When we needed aggresion and rolling up the sleeves we got that. Just not good enough. They are letting the boss down, again.



29 Feb 2020 19:51:48
Total blame lies with SG. He signs the players, coaches the players and picks the tactics and team. He has now been here for 2 seasons and failed to make a final of a cup competition with by far the second biggest budget in the league.

There is the argument that teams sit in against us but against hearts the past two games they have went toe to toe and simply wanted it more. Winning most of the first balls and all the second balls.

When I look through our team there is only a couple that are prepared to roll up there sleeves and out captain isn’t one of those.

Time for a change, and before anyone ask who I would take. I would take every single other manager in the league bar none (well maybe one or two) .



29 Feb 2020 19:54:56
I've commented loads about Gerrard but this is the first time I've said this, it's time for Gerrard to go. he's had 2 years and won SFA. I don't care about your response, he can't win trophies with Rangers and Celtic are running away with everything domestically again. So who's our next manager? I'm not sure but I can tell you the board will be anilizing this closely !



29 Feb 2020 19:56:46
Gerrard is finished no doubt about it, it's game over. Surprising thing, there are people on here talking about him still being in charge next season. Can't see it myself. Resignation coming after Europa league exit.



29 Feb 2020 19:58:55
Manager is a shambles and has clearly lost control of his dressing room. Players are performing in Europe as they know it’s a shop window to get a move. And can you imagine Morelos pulling his late arrival back with Walter Smith? The players might have all the admiration in the world for Gerrard as a player but they clearly have zero respect for him as a manager.



29 Feb 2020 19:35:29
backed stevie g since he came to rangers but his time is surely up now he can't seem to motive players, now we have to sit and watch celic probably win another treble when he goes hope he takes all the duds he signed with him, supported rangers for 45 years and this is the worse I have ever felt.



29 Feb 2020 19:50:41
Did you not see the Euro performance, ian? They are picking and choosing their matches and not prepared to get stuck in.



29 Feb 2020 19:52:45
He has to go. Consistently dropping points/ going out of cups to Killie, SHeep and Jambos. Le Guen, Caixinha and Warburton all went for feb same or less and they had nothing like the £ this imposter has had. Lafferty, Grezda, Jones, Barker, ojo, hastie, Polster, Stewart, king, coulibally, Sadiq.

Give him no more money, not even compensation!



29 Feb 2020 19:34:38
Season is nw officially over. Yes still in Europa league but to b honest that is just a bonus getting that far. League and at least one cup is what we shld b expecting to at least put up a far better challenge for. Absolute shocking. Morelos we will b lucky to get 5m for nw his lack of discipline on the park is shocking and nw clear to everyone also off the park he is a no user. Was hoping to sell him for good money In summer and use money to get defence sorted and a striker or two to replace Morelos but As a said wnt get much for 5m.



29 Feb 2020 19:31:26
As much as Gerard deserves praise for Europe, can anyone on here now, still say that he doesn't deserve criticism for this domestic crap that we're watching. It's been evident to many fans for weeks now that this formation isn't working now. Something needs to change - I don't want to watch this same rubbish next season, getting the fans excited up until Xmas and then all of a sudden the season is finished within a matter of weeks.



29 Feb 2020 19:36:29
As long as he is here, that’s what we will watch. He’s had two seasons to figure out Scottish football and has proven incapable.



29 Feb 2020 19:38:16
His times up. Another shambolic performance. Zero trophies out 6. Times up.



29 Feb 2020 19:41:50
Sirtruth, you are correct my friend. Another season without a trophy is simply not good enough for a massive club like Rangers. Hearts from start to finish were the better team. I won't accept that the players are feeling tired- they are supposed to be professionals. Well Mr Gerrard, what's the answer? Answer is he doesn't know how to fix this.



29 Feb 2020 19:42:06
Agreed, everyone else can see the 4-3-3 does not work when playing scottish teams apart from sg, this is our bread and butter, title finished by mid febuary no cups won just poor, a lot of people to will say alfredo done us even thoe people were asking him not to play because a poor run of form which will always happen in a full season, its simple the teams not playing well anynuff and sg is changing nuffing iam afraid blames falls at sg needs to get a grip or the pressure will start to hear up.



29 Feb 2020 19:42:44
Huge criticism mate. Sorry but he does. His players, his formation and his tactics.
Look at Davis for example. Been terrible, Jack fantastic early on in the season and again tonight he just gave the ball away countless times.
I like Aribo but what's his best position? Did nothing
The whole defence. OMG. we have no consistency at all!
Stewart isint a CF. Why not start Hagi and Defoe?

Oh man I have no more words. One shot on target in 90 mins? Inexcusable.



29 Feb 2020 19:44:03
No doubt sir struth that supercooper shall be on saying everything is fine and we shall won the treble next year. Forget 9 or 10 I honestly think its embarrasing that we are back in top league for 4 year and the mob across the city shall have a quadruple treble. Let that sink in.



29 Feb 2020 19:50:15
Both he and the players deserve criticism, thoroughly deserved criticism. Do I think SG should walk or be replaced. No.
Tactics, formation and personnel must be changed and adapted to how SPL teams play against us during the winter period of sh*t weather and pitches of Juniors standard.



29 Feb 2020 19:53:46
No mate its Twocoos and MrGrumpy that are in denial.

They will not say a bit word against our manager but its going to be interesting what they say now.



29 Feb 2020 19:27:28
Theres no defending that. Utter shambolic. Nothing more to say about it.



29 Feb 2020 19:32:20
Embarrassing.



29 Feb 2020 19:33:48
I can't see a way for anybody to defend this team we knew what hearts are all about why didn't we deal with the physicality better.



29 Feb 2020 19:37:41
Couldn't find a find a Rangers player on that park worth a compliment. Well I was advocating Stewart getting time on the pitch based on his ten minute cameo's this season. He can't carry the line and was very ineffective. Again it felt like the whole attacking side of our team is devoid of ideas Kent, Stewart, Aribo, Ojo Jack when he went up. Even Arfield hardly got a touch when he was on. I think hearts has learned not to fear our attack and they don't actualy park the bus. It has exposed how weak our transition game is through the middle. Tav and Barisic are okay on the counter along with arfield but after that everything else becomes long balls and hope for the best. Hagi has potential though.



29 Feb 2020 19:55:49
It's a strange one. The midfield and defence were superb on Wednesday and today were completely ineffective. One shot on target is terrible. Big Edmondson had an absolute mare. Should have conceded a penalty, set up Judas with a sitter and missed 2 easy stick on headers inside the Hearts 6 yard box.



29 Feb 2020 19:26:17
Sorry folks we have no mentality to win anything. don't know if its the manager or the players.

Why didn't Hagi start?
Why didn't Defoe Start?

Who knows.

Every player bar Kent and Greggs are an absolute disgrace! Disgrace!

Sorry but you can't defend this.

Hearts are a shocking football team and that's twice they've beat us.

Sorry but bar our run in Europe its another HUGE failure this season.

What now?

Btw I actually agree Morelos should be dropped.



29 Feb 2020 19:34:23
It’s the manager. He signed them, he trains them, he motivates them, he picks them, he picks the tactics. Buck starts and ends with him.

But the deluded will be on here blaming everyone else, players, refs, Naismith. only one man to blame.



29 Feb 2020 19:38:08
SG must now fall on his sword. He and he alone decided that Morelos should be disciplined by giving him a Saturday night off

Sir Walter would have went toe to toe with him, fined him a weeks wage and demanded a MOTM performance from him - which btw he would have got.

But not SG he gives him a quiet night off whilst he tries to beat hearts without a recognised fit striker?

Hopefully he is gone in the morning and the next manager clears out half this team in the summer.



29 Feb 2020 19:24:23
They have shown they have the ability, so I guess they just don't care enough. Who knows? I know I dont. Point is, does SG?



29 Feb 2020 19:21:00
How can anyone come on here and defend that. I honestly think Stevie will walk in the summer. Doesn't know how to get them to play winter football against non- free flowing teams. not his type of league.



29 Feb 2020 19:38:52
Should walk in the morning.



29 Feb 2020 19:42:32
Agreed, I genuinely think he doesn't know how to fix this. Just wish the season would finish now. We've just handed them a quadruple treble on a plate which is unforgivable.



29 Feb 2020 19:18:43
All I can say is WTF is going on with this football team.



29 Feb 2020 19:14:19
Worst performance of the season so far! how can stevie Naismith win every kick out header?



29 Feb 2020 19:06:51
We could be doing with naismith as captain👍.



29 Feb 2020 19:33:46
We need a captain.



29 Feb 2020 19:34:44
Spot on coldo our captain not got right mentality.



29 Feb 2020 19:35:38
Yep. I’ve said for ages I would take him back, he would burst a gut to make it up to us as you know he regrets the past. But some people on here apparently never said anything they shouldn’t? 🤷🏻‍♂️.



29 Feb 2020 19:47:33
Oh come on guys that's a tad unfair, he made a beautiful pass into touch in the second half.



29 Feb 2020 19:00:26
Answers on a postcard - why are we so medicore domestically? I'd rather go out to Hearts than the possibly of drawing that mob and them doing us over. If we don't get the finger out then the entire season is over in February.



29 Feb 2020 19:31:04
Season is already over.



29 Feb 2020 19:36:46
Sir struth when we need to roll up sleeves and battle we don’t have the players to do that! Spineless.



29 Feb 2020 19:43:50
I posted that half way through the 2nd half. Correct - season over in February for the 2nd season in a row. Unacceptable.



29 Feb 2020 18:34:34
Sign up for euro final flexi ticket. If we don't get there your money is refunded. Closes 12th march. 👍.



29 Feb 2020 18:57:39
Based on this tonight. don’t bother!



29 Feb 2020 18:25:02
Referee has clearly lost the plot here
The goal that never was clearly handled by Hearts player
But they should have had a penalty as we should have earlier.



29 Feb 2020 18:52:46
Another howler from captain marvel.



29 Feb 2020 19:27:38
No we have. Hopeless.
Can't beat hearts then forget league. Let's hope for a miracle in Europe. Disgrace.



29 Feb 2020 18:23:35
Well guys. Its not only us desicions go against. That is the worst refereeing of 45 mins I have ever seen. Stonewaller for us. Stonewaller for them. Jack should have been off hearts player should be off for handling the ball already been booked. Goldson not even a foul against him for the half rugby tackle. Lol.



29 Feb 2020 18:29:00
Maybe so fauld, but is that a Rangers team on the park.

Hearts don't need to park the bus we are crapp.

Let's see some guts second half.



29 Feb 2020 18:33:44
Dont know what's happening blue. We just look so disjointed all over the park. Gaffer needs to go through them at half time or change tactics.



29 Feb 2020 19:29:59
Fauld our manager needs to go to a professional Scottish managers training accademy.



29 Feb 2020 19:33:54
As good as we were on Wednesday, just the opposite today. Defence was awful, all of them. Kent usual first touch- step back - lose it that we've seen all season. No fighters in the team anywhere, because all hearts did was outfight us, they were first to every ball, every second ball. I don't honestly know what Gerrard can do with that team now on this performance.



29 Feb 2020 18:20:23
Why do we keep doing this?
Our passing is horrendous! I know the park isint the best but for gods sake.
This formation is our league doesn't seen to work. Gutted for Arfield.

Bad day when we've got to play Ojo up top.
Agreed about Morelos. Deserves all he gets!

If we can't beat Hearts it's a bad day. Come on Rangers!



29 Feb 2020 18:20:06
Yet another shocking first half performance domestically. Absolutely no idea why we can’t identify and correct why this keeps happening. Formation and style of play clearly need tweaked from what works in Europe.



29 Feb 2020 18:05:08
Rangers are better suited to European football, where the game has more flow and skill, and the opposition do not park the bus, or kick lumps out of you. Actually playing football.



29 Feb 2020 18:11:22
Excuses benlora. Gerrard should change his tactics for the spl😉👍.



29 Feb 2020 18:22:53
Well that’s not much good, we play in the Scottish league.



29 Feb 2020 18:34:24
Agreed Coldo. For all everyone is raving about Gerrard being a genius for our European performances, by the same token our domestic performances are poor. And I’m sorry, but Scottish football is our bread and butter and it should be the priority. I remember very few of our European runs during 9 in a row (the first Champions League being the exception), but I remember every league title.



29 Feb 2020 19:04:22
Back to the same crap, but I am not in the slightest bit surprised. We cannot play this formation anymore - it doesn't work - take note Gerard. For all your good work in Europe, open your eyes and change this now for next season.



29 Feb 2020 19:13:04
Got to agree. Scottish football is our bread and butter and good European runs whilst winning nothing can’t keep happening. Our manager and a few players need to be playing in other leagues. When we had Laudrup, Gaza, Gio, etc we got some good European results but we won in Scotland. That’s our priority next year it has to be.



29 Feb 2020 17:13:15
Said start of th week Morelos wasn't in the training. Somethin fishy going on. Halibut or somethin.



29 Feb 2020 17:28:06
He was given time off to go home and deal with a family matter sun to wed but returned 24hrs late so was dropped.



29 Feb 2020 17:30:00
Gerrard just announced, it's a discipline issue as he returned for duty 24 hours late.



29 Feb 2020 19:29:32
Well yet again he has cost us. Time to sell in summer and make some profit. Guys a liability.



29 Feb 2020 16:47:56
No Morelos today? What going on? , Anyway in gerrard we trust, let’s go win this to top off the week, MON THE GERS! 🙌🏻.



29 Feb 2020 17:14:05
Missed training on Thursday. Breach of discipline

FFS.



29 Feb 2020 17:43:33
Gerrard still going with one up top🤦‍♂️👍.



29 Feb 2020 16:41:58
Put a post on last night about team spirit when alfie is playing. Just hearing he is not even in squad today. Is he injured.?



29 Feb 2020 16:48:56
Is he not on leave? Maybe his partner has gave birth .



29 Feb 2020 16:55:33
I read on Twitter his mum is I’ll don’t know if that is true or not but he will be a big miss.



29 Feb 2020 17:01:04
Available but not selected for match day squad.



29 Feb 2020 17:09:23
Came back 24 hours late from Columbus
Disaplinary.



29 Feb 2020 17:32:12
I said it that players would be getting pissed off with the preferential treatment. Good to see the boss doing something about it.



29 Feb 2020 16:39:08
Morelos not in the team or even the bench today. Big call by SG, hopefully it works out.



29 Feb 2020 15:42:42
Bad news. Al ahly have 3more trophies than us meanin we're only the second most successful team in the world. the cup this year then the trrreble next season. Need to get back to where we belong. 3-0 today.



29 Feb 2020 15:27:54
The solution to the Morelos dilema is simple. Tell him in English or Spanish to never talk or gesture to the referee and if he scores to do so celebrate in front of Rangers fans or better still on the pitch with his team mates. Not rocket science.



29 Feb 2020 17:45:02
You'd think kfraser, but its morelos🤷‍♂️👍.



29 Feb 2020 11:57:48
Hi

Another big day for Rangers and a must win, I'm going for 1-3 with Morelos back on the score sheet.

Celtic lost out in the Europa league because of Lennon, if they had someone in charge like Gerrard I believe they would have got through.

Gerrard has been a master class in Europe this season and this will be noted.

Even if don't go any further in the Europa league, for me its job done.

In Gerrard we trust.



29 Feb 2020 13:15:26
Losing the league by 12 points is job done, woo.



29 Feb 2020 14:03:14
Graham, my heart is already in my mouth thinking bout what happened wi hearts last time.

The Braga game was a shot in the arm, let's hope it carries on in the domestics .

I'm not 100% confident yet and actually dreading todays match.

If we don't thump them god knows the posts on here will be mayhem .



29 Feb 2020 14:22:59
Sweep1,the season isn't finished yet pal! We haven't lost the league by 12 points and although its going to be extremely difficult for us now to win the league, there's still a good few games to go and i firmly believe rangers will be much closer than 12 points mate!



29 Feb 2020 14:53:32
A put a fiver on gers 2 1 sheep 2 1 dundee unt win 600 n od bk if am lucky.



29 Feb 2020 15:00:53
One slup by them and with our game in hand and 2 OF victories we could be level. A big ask but not impossible.



29 Feb 2020 15:07:26
Coop the league is over mate👍.



29 Feb 2020 15:15:31
SGL, need to beat Celtic to close the gap, because I don’t see anyone else taking points off them. Meanwhile, we need to not drop any further points. Really hope lessons have been learned and we start going full tilt for the throat from the start of every game rather than spend the first half tapping the ball around.



29 Feb 2020 15:30:36
Coldo, i stated it will now be extremely difficult to win the league mate! In my opinion though, it will be much closer than 12 points!



29 Feb 2020 15:34:00
Good to see you back to more realistic posts mate without the doom an gloom. cheers.



29 Feb 2020 16:27:25
If we win both OF games, I believe we will win league. Beat saints, 12 becomes 3 and bottles start to crash
You just never know.



29 Feb 2020 17:50:18
Next OF is sandwiched between Europa League games. Makes it a wee bit harder but if the first leg goes well it could actually give us a confidence boost.



29 Feb 2020 18:08:31
How does 12 become 3 if we win 2 Old Firm games? Are they each worth 4.5 points?



29 Feb 2020 08:40:17
Good morning guys,

Coupons on Late last night

Along with my usual accumulators

I have put
£10 Rangers 3-0
£10 Rangers 3-1
£10 Rangers 4-1

Known my luck it will be a low scoring game and is winning 1-0

But I'm optimistic 😂

Come On The Gers 😁.



29 Feb 2020 09:27:49
Sorry to burst your coupons I’d take 1-0 just not and get in the hat but good luck 🤞.



29 Feb 2020 13:34:40
The stig, I've also backed us 3 -0.



29 Feb 2020 14:25:04
I fancy rangers 2-0 against hearts tonight. Hagi first goalscorer and 2-0 to the famous. Goldson and edmundson to keep another clean sheet.



29 Feb 2020 14:46:48
Agree Supercoop although expect Morelos on scoresheet. He is hurting and desperate to score.



29 Feb 2020 07:38:14
Docherty on the score sheet again last night.



29 Feb 2020 08:31:55
I fear we ll swap him at the end of the season for kamberi, can’t see him getting a run under Stevie G u fortunately. I like Kamberi and we need a player like him so I see that deal being done in summer and no doubt Hibs will sell docherty on down south for 2-3m no probs where as we can never seem to get money for our players. Docherty was nt even making our bench which tells you what SG thinks of him.



29 Feb 2020 10:56:00
Coolly swapping Docherty for kamberi would be good business as it appears doc does not have a future at ibrox.
Key re doc is sell on clause and mb a buy back clause.



29 Feb 2020 10:59:08
Doc for kamberi every day of the week👍.



29 Feb 2020 11:45:21
So where would Docherty have been playing in the side against Braga midweek? 😂😂😂😂😂
He isn't good enough for Rangers. Which is a shame, as we'd all love a bluenose to succeed. File him under Halliday. We need better. 👍.



29 Feb 2020 12:06:06
Completely agree tupacman👍. I hope we go 442 today with morelos and kamberi upfront👍.



29 Feb 2020 12:22:59
Cup tied coldo.



29 Feb 2020 14:07:37
Coldo it’s the cup today, Kamberi not available for selection.



29 Feb 2020 14:26:11
Kamberi is cup tied coldo.



29 Feb 2020 15:08:24
Doh🤦‍♂️👍.



29 Feb 2020 06:55:40
Hi ed if you get a chance kamberi or docherty? Thank you!



{Ed033's Note -


kamberi or docherty poll

29 Feb 2020 08:12:16
I like docherty but fear he ll never get a good run in our side to prove himself, Hibs will no doubt get him and sell him for millions where as we can’t seem to sell our players on at all. Kamberi if he can keep doing what he has been doing would be a good signing and type of striker we need as an option. only reason I chose kamberi.



29 Feb 2020 09:54:18
Docherty certainly good enough for place in our current squad. Intact believe coming on for Davis and deputising for Jack, we would not have dropped those 10 points since January.



29 Feb 2020 12:07:12
Thats delusional bankie😂👍.



29 Feb 2020 12:40:48
We should have enough to buy Kamberi and keep Docherty. People saying he’s not good enough, he’s Barry had a chance. Not sure when we will learn our lesson as a club in letting Scottish talent get away from us. If he goes to Hibs he’ll end up making them money after a season as someone down south will buy him. Remember the age of Davis, Arfield is in his 30s too. There have been games this season that would have been more suited to Docherty than Kamara.



29 Feb 2020 14:42:54
Docherty always makes himself available for a pass and very seldom gives the ball away. In addition to that he scores goals on a very regular basis. Will do very well in England when he leaves.
