29 Jan 2020 22:58:22
With only one recognised striker for the next couple of months and alfredo one booking away from suspension, would anyone here take kenny miller back for a few months as back up at short notice?



29 Jan 2020 23:20:39
No we should be looking at long term morelos replacement and getting someone in now could give them 6 months to settle in
Surley we must have been looking at who could replace morelos already so should have targets in mind.



29 Jan 2020 23:21:18
No. but we will get another striker in the door b4 end of the window.



29 Jan 2020 23:35:03
No. No, no, no, no, no. No.



30 Jan 2020 01:56:58
Allyboy1976, no your away out with this one pal, alfie is a good few yellows away from big ban, was reading so, elsewhere.



30 Jan 2020 06:09:49
There's no limit!



30 Jan 2020 07:33:57
Surely can’t be serious. As for getting Morelos replacement in now yes that would be ideal but we don’t have the funds for that, we have the funds for a loan or maybe a dykes etc at a push until the summer I reckon. Morelos replacement will cost a fair chunk of the money we receive for him.



29 Jan 2020 22:40:06
Can anyone tell me why our two games against Ross county in the league this year has been midweek. For both sets of fans it's one of the longer away games, in travel terms. Where do they get off creating the fixtures? No consideration, whatsoever for the fans. Joke of a set up and footballing organisation.



29 Jan 2020 22:28:32
If we had a young lad out on loan who was banging goals in for fun in the championship we'd probably recall him right now. We haven't but young Kev Nisbett has been and we could get him for buttons.



29 Jan 2020 22:56:45
Would be a good signing in my opinion.
The lad has scored 17 for Dunfermline, that's some return for a team of that stature.



30 Jan 2020 01:07:55
Shanklands 25. Not a young lad.



30 Jan 2020 09:19:42
Nobody mentioned shankland mikeger.



29 Jan 2020 22:00:40
Omg some of the comments on here are totally beyond belief.
Since the season started including friendlies, Europe and the cups. We have played 46 games and only lost on 4 occasions. What more are you wanting guys played 46 won 46, come on guys

Let's get a reality check apart from Kent how much money have all of these players cost. If these guys where consistently performing at 8,9,10 out of 10 every week. We would have had to spend fortunes.

The market that we are operating in players are going to have dips in form and be inconsistent. Constantly giving the grief does help. Get behind the team and players.
Remember what you where watching 18 months ago to where we are now.

Rant over.



29 Jan 2020 22:13:27
Agree Stewarty. What negative crap by some. We won 2-0 they won 3-0. So what? 3 wins and 1 defeat since new year. How terrible. Have faith .



29 Jan 2020 22:35:22
Some of the comments my friend are worthy of being written and thoughts and opinions of grievance should be directed at the team

There playing bloody rubbish

What you would y out call it - I don't want statistics what games they have won how many they have won
How about how many leagues and trophy’s they have won
Oh I forgot NONE

It’s not about getting on there back and not supporting my club which I have done for 40 years

It’s the players not supporting the club in its ambition in stopping our main rivals from getting to 9 in a row or 10 in a row and beyond

Right now there playing like a team that’s worthy of first division football nothing more

AT this time

I’m very much hoping that will change very very quickly as previously said against better opposition we’re going to get a hammering after already being beat by a poor hearts team

Take off the blue blinkers and look what’s being played in front of you

Our manger is not happy either for god sake
8 passengers in the hearts game he said
We have no depth no strikers that can come in for Morelos when he’s red carded
Defoe is turning 38

We’re a big club in a small division and making the division look hard
We should be winning every game just like the mob across the city are demanding of there team

Only thing is there team has proved themselves over the last few years that they can continue winning when it matters to get over the line
Even with 10 men - remember that game

We can have possession all day long play better

But not winning won’t bring silverware

Please wake the feck up

I’ve had a few drinks - but Jesus your on drugs thinking this team paying as they have done over past 4 games will win anything this year and this was a pivotal year for our club to win silverware
The board invested money in our manager he needs to bring silverware one way or another
That’s not me - that’s the club what the whole club demands such as GLasgow Rangers

So wake up -

I’m one for getting behind the team - but I’m not scaredto say what I see in front of me
Right now NOT good enough period!



29 Jan 2020 22:38:16
Totally agree, we responded with a comfortable win tonight, we just need to calm down a bit and we'll find it easier to score, we're trying too hard at present. Bring on Aberdeen on Saturday now, no fears, just go out and beat them, no score predictions, just beat them, I thought Ojo looked okay tonight, probably Defoe out for a couple of weeks, looked like a hamstring, good opportunity for one the Development strikers to get on the bench, or, maybe a new striker will come in.



29 Jan 2020 22:17:36
How much money have all these players cost?
We apparently owe 25 mill in transfer fees, not yet included in the accounts!



29 Jan 2020 22:52:50
I agree with you as well stewarty. I even thot OJO had a decent game tonight. keep it going lads.



29 Jan 2020 23:48:54
Standards have slipped more than I thought if you are all happy with what you are seeing. Sad times. I was watching our game and the Celtic game at the same time tonight, they looked streets ahead, yet we’re sitting here applauding the mediocrity.



30 Jan 2020 00:20:30
Standards might have slipped a tad my friend but you don't become a bad team in 4 weeks .
Think it’s called . have a little faith, and support your team .
Of course you are entitled to your opinion . but any psychologist or sports science coach will tell you the worst thing for a player with a dip in confidence is criticism.
Constant ridicule can be the death knell of a player and team. Goodness knows we have plenty of evidence of that throughout our years in the stands.



30 Jan 2020 01:48:31
The Celtic game we had a full strength team. With Tav and Alfie out of the team, that's taking 60 goals between them scored and assisted from the team.

I'm sure if you took ed and Christie or forest out of their team for a month, there would be games when they struggled.

Yes we are definitely not playing at 100% but I take heart that apart from one half against hearts we are still winning. Alfie is back as will Tav be soon and with a full strength Rangers we have proved that we are better than them. so much so its them that are having to spend.



30 Jan 2020 02:04:02
Molsgoals, the first two on sg teamsheet are both out, and have they been missed.



30 Jan 2020 03:49:47
Hey, Swagman, one defeat and you're mentioning mediocrity. Another mentioning Tic streets ahead because they scored one more goal than us forgetting to mention Tic playing worst team in league by mile to nite. Time to get real. Perhaps some on here sweating over Defoe injury. Maybe an issue but club not going to collapse.



29 Jan 2020 21:45:49
After watching yet another dreadful performance with the games coming up getting harder times are worrying. One more defeat or draw and it’s game over. Far too many under performers. Gone has the energy and hustle and we showed at the piggery last month.



29 Jan 2020 22:19:55
I've been saying all year we only have 70 minutes in us at the pace we try to play.
In big games we are hanging on last 20.
Don't know what happens in Dubai but the legs seem to go following the break.
Hard hat time I think?



30 Jan 2020 00:23:31
Thought we were good fir another goal in the last 10 mins tonight. we certainly never let up or looked tired.



29 Jan 2020 21:41:47
New striker not now an option but a necessity!



29 Jan 2020 22:20:27
Agreed, but who? With 2 days to go?



30 Jan 2020 07:38:14
Av got a feeling will do a sway deal with likes of docherty to Sunderland for Will Grigg haha.



29 Jan 2020 21:23:51
Kent £7 million? God almighty, we could have got 2 or 3 decent players for that. His valuation has gone to his head and his form now stinks, same with Kamara, ok didn't cost much but recent media speculation has got to him too
We could have got Shankland for a song, now valued at £3 million lol
Believe me, we need something soon because Morelos WILL be gone come the next window.



29 Jan 2020 21:44:35
So shankland is the answer whereas kent and kamara are not? I don't know what's worse, reading some of the posts on here or listening to tom miller. I agree that performances recently haven't been great but shankland is not the answer. This team tore celtic to bits in the last two old firm games, its a dip in form. No need for panic. 👍.



29 Jan 2020 21:50:08
can't believe how the commentators were raving about Kamara tonight. he looks like no pace at all, loses possession and makes no attempt to get it back! With Defoe going off we surely MUST sign a striker now. I suppose getting back to three points was the most important thing tonight, but we didn't look too impressive until we got the second goal. Before the end of the year we were playing fast pressing stuff, but we seem to have no pace since the break. Poulster is the answer at right back whilst Tav is out, had a good game again tonight.



29 Jan 2020 22:07:58
Team are playing rubbish

We played Celtic next week we would be thumped right now

We got a result against Ross county some folk think it’s great

And I’ve to calm down, pfft

Anybody at this moment stil believe we’re going to win anything this year is so deluded

And I should know I was one before winter break.



29 Jan 2020 22:27:20
Coldo, I hear what your saying but it's a dip in form at the precisely wrong time. Can only Celtic hit there's soon - if they do at all.



30 Jan 2020 00:32:58
Coldco, my point was 1 value for money 2 lack of consistency and 3 we DO need another striker. YOUR point it seems is typically my opinion is the only one, well I read all the posts on here, I have supported Rangers for 70 years and most days on here I piss myself laughing at all the singular opinionated so called fans, and no I don't piss myself because of my age.



29 Jan 2020 21:05:21
2 up now

Kamarra still showing signs of being awfull it's not funny
He needs dropped ASAP
Goldson another yellow - will be serving a ban soon think one more yellow,
someone can correct me

My concern is in this game it's Ross county we're playing - yes we're 2 up but not been great and we really should be 2 up if not more against a team of this quality my concern is against better opposition than past 3 games feel like we're not far away from a hiding guys
Honestly Ross county are getting crosses in corners kicks trying shots
Better opposition we will be in trouble

And I now Defoe pulled up - still no striker in this window GERRARD get a grip and sort out what's in front of you!


I know this is a very daft question
But right now anybody got any ideas where we are going or going to go this season on past 4 showings now

Defoe will be out - Morelos coming on
Any red cards for him over next few games who do we have left up front

Huge club as ours and we have no strikers

We only play one up front - well guys look at our team now up front - we're in serious trouble and before Xmas I'm thinking we look great going to win this league

Jesus Stevie G sort this mess out

Yes we might win this game but it's ROSS COUNTY.



29 Jan 2020 21:31:18
Nonsense stig👍.



29 Jan 2020 21:33:54
Calm down dear.



29 Jan 2020 21:37:35
And the weather is sh*te.



29 Jan 2020 21:44:49
With defoe possibly out for a while could force us to getting another striker in. Ojo had a hood 2nd half. great solid 90 for polster. kamara awful.



29 Jan 2020 22:04:08
True but 😊👍.



29 Jan 2020 23:05:34
Nonsense stig👍.



29 Jan 2020 20:16:43
Kamara has forgotten how to play football i think.



29 Jan 2020 22:25:13
2-0 against part timers Stranraer, 1-0 against lowly St Mirren, 2-0 against a small side from the highlands and defeat to bottom of the league hearts it’s not very impressive! Carrying too many duds I’m afraid it’s all going to backfire shortly. And Celts are flying.



29 Jan 2020 20:10:33
Kamara again what's going on with him

Stranraer, St mirren and now Ross county

We're still struggling players legs look like there all wearing led boots
Players are static across the field we're lacking urgency

They have lost confidence by the looks of it for some reason ever since winter break.



29 Jan 2020 20:40:49
It's like his confidence has been shot to pieces in the space of 3 games for some reason. I'm sorry, but we've got a league to compete for so we've not got the luxury of time or games to keep playing him hoping it'll return. We've got a box to box midfielder in Docherty who can't even make the bench.



29 Jan 2020 20:44:10
Think he has minutes on the ball to do all these daft wee turns. Gets caught out far too often. Quicker jacks back the better. Some lads saying he was worth 10mill arenoff there rocker.



29 Jan 2020 20:04:29
Ojo First 10 mins still very slow to release the ball and absolutely no creativity

First 10 mins still not the Rangers we knew before the break it's weird

Kamara has no pace either

Something very obvious still not right,
Can't put my finger on it as to why such a difference in the team from before Xmas to now

I really like polster doesn't lose the ball and some really good crosses so far going in
Barisic some good crosses also

Seems it's midfield where the team looks off

Lack of creativity speed and directness.

That's what I'm getting so for from the 1st now 16 mins lol.



29 Jan 2020 20:26:41
Fair assessment so far thestigno1. This has been very poor again so far. Its not ability or attitude. I think the players are good enough and nobody can tell me their attitude will be that they want to play poorly so it must be confidence. Stevie needs to find a way to give these players their confidence back.



29 Jan 2020 20:44:33
Surely when Tav comes back Polster has shown enough to be given a go in midfield where he can also play? That’s where he played for Chicago Fire and they loved him.



29 Jan 2020 20:55:18
Great shout

Never knew polster could also play that position certainly would give the the chance mate - 👍.



29 Jan 2020 21:06:34
Yeah I don’t think RB is his natural position think he’s a midfielder.



29 Jan 2020 21:45:48
Thought Polster was a shout for man of the match tonight, definitely worth a go when Tav is back in at RB.



29 Jan 2020 22:45:47
Swagman, I agree about Polster, I said in a post the other day I'd like to see him in Right Midfield, good player the lad.



29 Jan 2020 19:20:42
I've got mixed feelings about the squad for tonight think Kamara should have been dropped after his last few performances and ojo well I can't understand his inclusion.



29 Jan 2020 19:38:00
Agreed, although I'd be much happier to go with Kamara again than include Ojo, just don't get what it is he brings to the team?



29 Jan 2020 19:55:46
Bad feelings about tonight. Morelos on the bench stinks. I think something going on behind the scenes.



29 Jan 2020 22:47:00
Ar9, why do you think that, it was reported that Alfie was carrying a knock.



29 Jan 2020 19:15:04
Is it true kevin clancy gave buffali a red card after he tackled a guy in west nile st for tampering with his car.



29 Jan 2020 20:59:20
Then later said he received a third yellow for the chase although this hasn't been confirmed by the club or the sfa yet.



29 Jan 2020 19:14:19
WTF, no Alfredo starting 🤦🏼‍♂️.



29 Jan 2020 19:01:04
Tonight’s lineup - Kamara still being in the team is ridiculous. Poor Docherty isn’t even on the bench, I feel for the lad. If someone can play as badly as Kamara did against Hearts and not get dropped it tells you all you need to know about Gerrard’s favourites.



29 Jan 2020 20:24:21
Nail on the head mate. He will come good again though.



29 Jan 2020 18:55:27
I'm hearing Morelos threw his car on top of somebody today?



29 Jan 2020 19:09:36
🤣🤣🤣 TJBB brilliant, funniest thing I've seen since leigh Griffiths hair👍.



29 Jan 2020 19:36:35
The poor guy was hiding under the car terrified because slfredo made a scary gesture at him. Alfredo should get at least 8 year in bsrlinnie according to sutton.



29 Jan 2020 18:43:01
Wtf is bill leckie doing under buffalos car its a joke.



29 Jan 2020 19:06:29
Would need to be a monster truck for that fat pie to squeeze under it.



29 Jan 2020 18:34:32
The boy Ojo starts tonight, Aribo on the bench.



29 Jan 2020 18:52:07
Wtf ojo mince.



29 Jan 2020 19:28:16
Let’s give him a chance he got about 7 mins at the weekend and folk saying he was dreadful.



29 Jan 2020 18:30:34
With us needing another Striker what do you guys think of bringing back Cummings? Affordable and knows where net is.
Only as a 3rd choice obviously but think his enthusiasm is infectious and is a good finisher.



29 Jan 2020 19:38:42
Not got the legs for gsmes like sunday just like defoe. Big dykes would be a half decent 3rd option.



29 Jan 2020 17:39:44
The league is not over yet but Sunday was a damaging setback.



29 Jan 2020 20:08:32
It's not over yet, however will be if we fail to take 9 points over next 3 games.



29 Jan 2020 17:03:34
Even more worrying someone caught tampering with alfredos car. What's that all about.



29 Jan 2020 17:12:07
to me mate think morelos is away on friday and this is a pr stunt saying he can't live here first stevie G says he's a doubt not really been seen at training or in Dubai now his car.



29 Jan 2020 17:32:40
You don't have the police commenting on a PR stunt. Jesus!



29 Jan 2020 17:35:34
Bigbluebear he was in Dubai training though? And he's been training. he's been suspended since after the break 😂😂😂. there's pictures of his car been taken away.



29 Jan 2020 17:41:52
Big blue bear what bit of he was in Dubai do u not understand.



29 Jan 2020 17:52:25
BBB worst post yet!



29 Jan 2020 18:01:31
That's ridiculous big blue bear. He may well leave on Friday but there is not a chance this is a PR stunt. I can't imagine Steven Gerrard, Ross Wilson and whoever from the board sitting around thinking "right what PR stunt can we pull to mask the fact we said we wouldn't sell him this window. I know, let's say he feels unsafe because someone tried to cut his brakes. We'll definitely get away with that"

It's an absolute disgrace whoever ha as done this and I hope they catch the scumbag. I wouldn't blame Alfredo I feel he asks to leave now. Football shouldn't spill over into incidents like this in a players private life.



29 Jan 2020 18:09:11
Guys guys guys. No one tried to cut his brake pipes. Police have issued statement that they took car away, examined car and there was no sign of criminality.
Let’s put this to rest guys.



29 Jan 2020 18:09:26
A thinks it’s a Beadles about prank and it’s dummy polis that’s taken Buffs car and it wis a stunt double that he wis chasing doon the street but a think the stunt guy can run like the clappers caus Buff couldnae keep up with him even tho he wis under the motor with the snipps snipping away at the wee mans breaks when buff caught him but he still got away wit day ye think BBB?



29 Jan 2020 18:12:56
A think it was Clancy he was too quick to get the snipps oot.



29 Jan 2020 19:05:10
John the police said at this moment ( the moment they took the car away) there wasn't anything criminal. Now if they had given it the once over and found nothing criminal they wouldn't have taken the car away. Some folk only read or see what they want to see.



29 Jan 2020 16:35:33
we need a striker and maybe a right winger, so why in Gods name is Gerard chasing a Leeds Utd goalkeeper? he might be a good player but he's going to spend most of his time on his arse as a sub? What's wrong with Firth, or McCrorie who is out on loan to Livingston?
Surely the priority is another striker because Morelos WILL be away come the summer
Also Alnwick proved to be a decent keeper too and could come back after his Blackpool loan is up?



29 Jan 2020 17:07:27
ritchie1, so we halt all future planning because we lost a game? We are allowed to look at several players at the one time, you know. As for Alnwick, you've got to be kidding, he's well below average and we should never stop finding players in every position who can improve the squad. We'll see how McCrorie does with this step up to the SPL, but he's still very young.



29 Jan 2020 17:16:08
If Alfie misses more games, or looks likely to, then surely we must look at getting another striker in this week, we cannot expect a 37 year old, good as he is to carry us in the next few games, we need other options up front.



29 Jan 2020 17:18:47
Thank goodness for common sense Covenanter.



29 Jan 2020 18:01:34
I think Jermain Defoe has been poorly treated by some on here, the lad is a top class striker who has league scoring stats as good as Alfies, what a back-up to have. And he can play as a lone striker, it's just that the rest of the team didn't perform against Hearts. We will recover from this blip and renew our challenge. In SG we trust.



29 Jan 2020 16:14:25
Police to investigate Fredo for running after a guy found under his car late at night without permission - guy complained Fredo made a sinister cut throat sign that hurt his feelings then ran after him and called him a bad name.



29 Jan 2020 16:41:05
That’s only a yellow he will get it before his next game.



29 Jan 2020 17:07:47
Apparently it was only the compliance officer trying to increase his suspension!

You're welcome!



29 Jan 2020 17:09:36
Blue 👏👏👏👏.



29 Jan 2020 17:10:25
Clutching at straws there mate.



29 Jan 2020 17:30:35
👏👏👏 well done bluegenius made me laugh😄😄.



29 Jan 2020 17:53:52
Are yooz on the gear?



29 Jan 2020 15:50:00
Heard there that someone was trying to cut the break pipes of Morelos's who gave chase to the scumbag! Imagine going to the extent of trying to kill a human being!

Has a wife that is pregnant aswell It is now a police investigation I really hope the authorities make a good example of the **** What a sad sad world we are living!



29 Jan 2020 16:15:53
Kazmania relax. No mention the brake pipes. More worrying Alf chased him and could not catch him. Calf injury must be bad eh.



29 Jan 2020 16:23:01
Heard Alfie Tackled the cnut and Kevin Clancy appeared and gave him a straight red?



29 Jan 2020 15:34:23
Three players out injured with calf injuriea after returning from mid season break Was the training too severe.



29 Jan 2020 16:41:52
i suspect it just may have been the opposite. Don't agree with these mid season breaks to warm climate places, things can get relaxed too much and kick starting after returning can be difficult. For quite a while now our return from mid season breaks have proved counter productive given the performances of recent seasons.



29 Jan 2020 17:20:17
Ritchie, you are right, we never come back the same after any break, mid season or international!



29 Jan 2020 15:18:25
Rangers under investigation by the spfl for having mysterious extra day off from match day next month.



29 Jan 2020 15:13:31
To you guys answering who you thought the quotes were from yesterday. the answer was indeed ian ferguson and nacho novo. sure a few of you got it right.

Heres a new one for you guys . if you can remember. what was the 1st rangers song you remember singing as a kid .

Mines i'm sure was the good old

Aberdeen aberdeen
cannot kick a jelly bean. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.



29 Jan 2020 15:11:20
Same old, same old. Spoiled my Sunday night out. i'm fed up with it now bottom of the league beat us and it s Morelos's fault. Defoe is too slow can't get away. Alfredo be a hero if he scores on Wed, big man eh. I'm sick of him he cost us last year and has cost us this year. He will be suspended again before end of season. Katic should be bombed out also. Overrated big time. Its over accept it, I have.

Polster looked the part on Sunday, seen him before he gets stuck in. Bring Edmunson in drop Katic. Kamara who I did rate was abysmal. Davis looks like his legs have gone. Defoes Defoe have. Hopes shattered once more. Ojo get a grip. If we don't win it this year we never will because best players will be sold in the summer.

Some players are injury prone, Morelos is suspension prone. Every game its a knife edge with him. Its over, face reality. Look at the table, can we win game in hand? If we fail does SG LEAVE A FAILURE. i'm sick of it anyway sack Morelos and the other useless non contributors.



{Ed033's Note - I wonder what team you support.

29 Jan 2020 15:29:37
Don't worry Audiultra, Gary McAllister's fit and raring to go.



29 Jan 2020 15:50:15
So what is it you are saying audi🤔👍.



29 Jan 2020 16:27:20
Oh look, Lord Lucan is alive. How's the Buddhist retreat in Australia?



29 Jan 2020 16:45:23
Just out of curiosity mate where would we be this season without the goals Morelos HAS scored? I’m as frustrated as anyone when he’s suspended but going by the last 3 games heaven help us when he does leave. Think you need to calm down a wee bit. There will be folk on here trying to find a way to blame Tav for Sunday’s performance. It’s as clear as day what Tav brings to the team as far as I’m concerned and he gets a bashing all of the time.



29 Jan 2020 14:36:17
The Tims will drop points and all will be right in the world again tonight. Come back here later tonight and tell me I am talking a lot of $hit€!

Hope so C 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.



29 Jan 2020 15:45:24
That’s the spirit c_of_ibrox!
If it does go tits up tonight at least you can’t blame Morelos for this one as he’s injured! 😜👍.



29 Jan 2020 15:51:14
Lol COI- take cover😂😂👍.



29 Jan 2020 16:02:18
I didn't blame Morelos mate. I said he was partly to blame. Tims are drawing tonight. I have been known to talk $hit€ on occasion though lol.



29 Jan 2020 16:46:20
Where does it say morelos is injured, been watching Ssn all day and all it is saying morelos back after suspension, but jack and tav out 🤔.



29 Jan 2020 17:21:09
Allan 2010. Listen to gerrard interview today.



29 Jan 2020 22:37:08
Tims are drawing tonight c of ibrox! remind me never to ask you for the lottery numbers.



29 Jan 2020 14:21:31
If we get beat tonight our talk won't be about timplosion it will be about GERIMPLOSION.

The last thing we need this season or the Gerrard get to feck chanters will have a field day.



29 Jan 2020 14:28:01
If we draw I fear the same reaction! 🤯🤯.



29 Jan 2020 14:34:30
If we lose tonight he should be punted. Losing to Ross County at home on the back of 3 poor performances should have any Rangers manager on the ropes. Said it all along, I like Stevie G but too many folk are blinded by the love of having a celebrity name in charge. If we had hired someone like Michael O’Neill or Tommy Wright they would have got far more stick for some of the mistakes than Gerrard has.



29 Jan 2020 15:18:53
I’ve read it all now. One game and folk are losing the plot. It’s embarrassing. Leave that kind of panic to our friends across the city. Their will be lots of twists and turns still to come. It’s only January.



29 Jan 2020 15:30:34
It’s not one game. It’s 3 poor performances in a row. It’s an exact replaying of last season when we fell to bits after the break. It’s the wasting of money on Jones, Barker, Grezda, King etc. It’s the lack of ability to change tactics to suit the personnel or opposition. It’s trying to play the exact same style that we do with Morelos and Tav in the team when clearly neither Defoe or Flanagan are capable. It’s the blind spots for his favourite players guaranteeing their places regardless of their performance and refusal to give others a chance. It’s his constant chucking of the players under the bus after bad games rather than say “I got my tactics wrong. ” It’s being adamant we don’t need to strengthen this window when the evidence is to the contrary.

Read all of the above and ask yourself - if his name was Warburton/ Caixinha/ Murty instead of Gerrard how would you be feeling?



29 Jan 2020 15:35:48
I'll tell you this, if we do turn on our Manager forgetting how far he's taken us in 18 months, we'll go down faster than a torpedo'd ship. Who in their right mind would touch us if that happened. Blue 89 is correct, there's a few twists and turns to come yet.



29 Jan 2020 15:47:39
So even though he’s won 2 out of the 3 you are still criticising him?
Another poor post!



29 Jan 2020 15:48:48
Swagman. We've only lost 2 league games are still in Europe and have the measure of Celtic. What did the others achieve? For Christ's sake calm down!



29 Jan 2020 15:53:30
Agree swagman, you just have to look at our bench to see that we need reinforcements👍.



29 Jan 2020 15:53:52
Particularly a RF🤷‍♂️👍.



29 Jan 2020 16:13:16
Since when was winning 2 out of 3 against Stranraer, St Mirren and Hearts acceptable standards for Rangers?

We have the measure of Celtic? We've won 1 of 3 games against them this season and are 5 points behind them in the league.

Take off the celebrity blinkers.



29 Jan 2020 16:16:04
DOIGER - the others didn't have anything like his resources. Didn't see them getting £7m to spend on a winger who has 1 good game in 5 or £3.5m on a centre half who is slow as a week in the jail.



29 Jan 2020 16:51:59
We're 12 points better off than last season. Even without a RF up to coldo's standard 😉
Calm it down a bit thewagsman.



29 Jan 2020 17:58:01
And 5 points worse off than Celtic. Which is the only relevant measure. Clearly we have different standards. If you’re happy with that go watch the sheep instead.



29 Jan 2020 13:30:13
Seen suhn about josh windass.



29 Jan 2020 10:00:14
I would much prefer if we are going to be loaning out players that we loan them to other Scottish teams to try and help our chances as well as their development

The likes of Jones, Barker, Hastie, Docherty etc are not very consistent which is why they are not in our starting team but they do have ability (ok not so sure about Barker) and on their day they could help another SPL team do some damage to the tims.



29 Jan 2020 12:07:46
Added to that, they can maybe help their teams to take points of Celtic.



29 Jan 2020 12:27:26
Fraser hastie can nit go on loan again this season.



29 Jan 2020 14:40:41
Didn’t realise that John
I would prefer him than Barker just now that’s for sure.



29 Jan 2020 09:20:09
Say for the sake of argument that we get 2 or 3 new faces in before the window closes, how is the Europa League squad affected? Can any changes only be made through injury or transfer?



29 Jan 2020 10:02:17
Carbolic u name a squad in February for rest of season.



29 Jan 2020 11:36:33
Carbolic, we r allowed to add three players to our squad, this would mean removing a player for every player added.

This has to be done by 3/ 2.



29 Jan 2020 08:43:53
Hit send too early lol.

He would then talk to fans and the press and back us up.

All players react differently but i bet the players confidence is pretty low at the moment.

A good solid performance and win tonight will get us right back on track.



29 Jan 2020 08:41:52
I saw on SSN last night that SG has publicly questioned his players bottle to go on and win the league. I feel that he has been more vocal publicly in a negative way than he used to be. After the last 3 performances what he is saying is spot on but i wonder if being so open in public about it is the correct thing to do. Fair enough get in about them behind closed doors but maybe give them a bit of protection when talkung to the press. I know that every now and then a well timed angry press release can spark the players into action but i just think its been a lot recently. When i played our manager used to go through us behind closed doors even when we were winning and then go and talk to fans and the press.



29 Jan 2020 09:38:44
An interesting assessment MOCBear. I like Gerrard's straight forward talking and honesty in front of the press. Who did you play for?



29 Jan 2020 10:41:19
Played for Falkirk under Alex Totten mate.



29 Jan 2020 08:21:16
It's taken me a wee while to come down after that performance and I'm not now speaking from a position of bitterness or sour grapes.

No, I would like to congratulate Hearts on their performance as they didn't give us a second on the ball and bullied us from the first whistle to the last.

The Rat was the best player on the park by an absolute country mile. Might have been different had 2 or 3 of our players showed so much grit and determination.

Anyway, on to my point. As a supporter from a team outside the Old Firm, you must be livid if the ONLY performance you can muster is that against us. Watching that performance and then having to watch the apathetic attempts against your St Mirrens or your Hamilton's must drive you mad.

On to this evening, a win is an absolute must. Not sure I can see Celtic dropping many points if I'm honest.



29 Jan 2020 09:05:16
A cheery, optimistic post😁.



29 Jan 2020 12:38:50
but honest and accurate.



29 Jan 2020 13:47:34
Unless your post is all rosey and rangers are great mrgrumpy can't handle it🤷‍♂️👍.



29 Jan 2020 14:32:33
The irony in his name lol.



29 Jan 2020 15:35:51
Aye look I'm sorry if it sounded defeatist, I merely commented on what I saw. I try to be objective and not to be knee jerk in my reactions.
Hearts more than deserved their victory and we deserved exactly what we got.

Onwards and upwards though, starting tonight. I don't want to be on a downer when I finally get to Ibrox next month after my 20 year exile lol.



29 Jan 2020 16:59:46
Compared to your doom and gloom coldo? I happen to think rangers are great. Do I agree with everything SG has done? No he's definitely made mistakes tactically, some signings seem at best odd. Was getting beat by hearts bad? Yes. The performance was unacceptable, even SG said so.
We're in a much better place this season than last. League, Scottish cup, and Europe to play for.



29 Jan 2020 06:38:13
I'd try an 11th hour swap deal with some of our dead wood to get Shankland after all he'd give us that bit of extra will power with him being a blue nose as well and tbh from what I've seen on the training videos ect something doesn't sit right with Jones he seems to be a classic "I'm at a big club I've made it" seems to act like Billy big balls always mucking about and not fully concentrating on his training don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong g with having a muck about and a laugh in work but he always seems to be at it and mabey that's what Gerrard sees and that's why he's not starting games he needs to screw the nut and knuckle down and let us really see if he's good enough to play for the famous glasgow rangers? For me he just doesn't show he wants it enough and someone needs to have a work in his ear back in the day somone like Ian Ferguson would have put him in his place.



29 Jan 2020 09:32:46
You can’t swap players on £10k a week to a club who pay an average of about a grand a week. Swaps don’t happen very often outwith the fantasy world of computer games.



29 Jan 2020 09:57:04
Glasgowrangersgooner united went all in on shankland and from my sources who are quite close to united they are payin him near 5k a week. 5x more than any other player.



29 Jan 2020 10:58:09
Paul86, are you sure pal, dundee utd paying any player 5 grand a week in championship sounds a bit far fetched, to me.



29 Jan 2020 13:05:22
Paul and Paul I was told when he went to United he was on 3k a week plus bonuses.
This is what surprises me, that we would not sign him if we rated him, guys like hardie mcrorie brothers Kelly on more.
