£105 FOR THE EUROPA CUP GAMES. 35 QUID A GAME. ANYBODY THINK that's A BIT OVERPRICED. I SEE THE OTHER MOB ARE SELLING there's FOR 72 FOR THE 3 GAMES.

03 Sep 2018 19:20:00
Yeah it is a bit steep think £30 a game would have been a bit fairer.

03 Sep 2018 19:34:55
I don't think the return of euro nights should be undersold. Its been a long time and let's be honest it won't be hard to sell at that price i'd asume.

03 Sep 2018 19:39:56
Seems like a rip off, thankfully we're not that good or they'd be charging £50+ for Champs League. Taking fans loyalty for granted. £25 at the very most.

03 Sep 2018 20:07:19
We need to help the club this is our opertunity. I have limited budget but I certainly don’t begrudge puttin a little
Extra in if it might help . who cares what they pay . I wouldn’t pay 2 pence to see that kack over there.

03 Sep 2018 20:20:24
A pricey imo.

03 Sep 2018 20:25:46
They are selling there's for 72 because they can't always fill thier stadium simple.

03 Sep 2018 20:36:21
Nevermind what Celtic are charging.

If you don’t want to pay it other people will fill the seats no problem at all.

03 Sep 2018 20:40:22
Thankfully we’ not that good? OMFG. Absolute wahoo.

03 Sep 2018 20:48:37
Should not have charged more than the mhankis mob. DKs taking the piss.

03 Sep 2018 20:49:53
Reasonable price, we pay 48 for Celtic.

03 Sep 2018 20:55:47
Stop moaning about the prices pay or don’t pay plenty more fans than will gladly take them simples as for the other mob the difference there is their board don’t know how many of their fans would pay dearer.

03 Sep 2018 21:23:29
Email saying that’s a discount price, for 3 game package £105 too much imo.

04 Sep 2018 01:59:08
We need to get back into Europe, they cry.
We need the big bucks from Europe, they cry.
We need the glamour nights back, they cry.

Then we get there, the board, the manager, the players deliver our dreams and wishes. What's the response?

£35 is too dear, they whine.
DK is taking the mickey, they whine.
Lucky we're not good enough for the CL, they whine.

03 Sep 2018 22:53:07
I thought it wasn't bad, then read arsenal are only charging £20 a game, when a typical match day ticket costs about £90 The last time i looked. Fair enough the money on offer from the competition is just pocket change for them.

03 Sep 2018 23:59:57
When can you buy them, been on the web site and no info.

04 Sep 2018 05:07:52
Its an opportunity to put extra cash into the club. Yep its expensive but we are trying to build a team to challenge.

04 Sep 2018 06:27:55
Pricing all wrong.

04 Sep 2018 06:30:23
That wasn't the cry dutycalls!

04 Sep 2018 08:36:10
Folk who don’t like price don’t buy. Other clubs by cheaper because they can’t fill seats
Four largest crowds in Europa this season our four home games.

04 Sep 2018 13:39:24
I agree it's a bit steep but at the end of the day we're trying to run a business as well as a football club and the board know which ever the price they set we would fill our stadium 3 or 4 times over. Maybe if we got through the groups (big maybe i know) they might set a cheaper price for fans loyalty.

04 Sep 2018 14:01:46
Jyf, no, it wasn't mate. but for £35, I'll come when duty calls.

05 Sep 2018 14:04:03
If you don’t want them don’t pay there will be fans who can’t get the tickets that will happily take them.

05 Sep 2018 14:05:43
I think a lot of people who have season tickets won't pay it. But there will always be fans waiting to snap them up even at that price. I'm a bit shocked I was expecting 90 for the 3 GAMES for the Copland. I only know it's this price for my ticket. Is the main stand and Jardine stand the same price.

05 Sep 2018 14:06:37
C. f. bear - i think the other lots tickets are cheaper 'cause they don't turn up otherwise and they've got a large booking fee. whereas the price for us is the price.

05 Sep 2018 14:07:08
Personally not interested what that other mob are selling their europa league tickets for! Only interested in us and i for one, will be at ibrox, for all 3 of our home games,
in the europa league! Its absolutely superb, having european nights, back at ibrox!

05 Sep 2018 14:08:34
The unwashed couldn't sell out their last home game plus the dates of the fixtures are all before giro day. That's why the piggery is cheaper.
And after a terrible transfer window they need to get the fans back onside. A win over Rangers just papered over the cracks.

05 Sep 2018 14:11:08
It does seem steep, but then again we don't have the advantage at the moment of putting money into our club through buying shirts and merchandise etc. so our tickets cost £30 quid more than the mhanky mob - its not that big a deal, the clue was there though, each qualifying round the money went up and up so it didn't come as any surprise to me.

03 Sep 2018 18:03:58
Think most positive yesterday, shagger showed he's best Goalie in Britain, not just Scotland.

03 Sep 2018 18:46:07
He had a stellar game yesterday although our next two league games are must wins and he will likely be suspended. He is worth a good few points to us this season in tight games but not if he is going to kick out like he did yesterday - I really hope it doesn't cost us.

SG said he should have been off so I cannot see how we can appeal it.

03 Sep 2018 19:12:49
McGregor had a great game yesterday but he isn’t then best keeper in Britain. De Gea is the best keeper in Britain.

03 Sep 2018 21:15:33
Have to agree with you Arthur D.
Although i rate allan mcgregor very highly, i also think de gea is the best keeper in britain!

03 Sep 2018 17:08:28
Does anyone think that it might have been a mistake to release both Docherty and Holt on loan? With Rossiter, Dorrans, Couilbally and Murphy all injured we've been hit hard in midfield. I would have kept Docherty who might have relished Sunday's game. In my view Holt never let us down and was a decent player. Also, why didn't McCrorie play as the holding midfielder on Sunday? Too many questions, I know!

03 Sep 2018 17:40:16
Tbh we needed better than those 2 in the midfield if we are going to compete with them. Gerrard has done a great job addressing areas in which we were very weak but midfield is still not sorted. Was surprised we never went for Mulumbo before they got him.

03 Sep 2018 21:35:48
Erajea was blowing out of his arse after and hour shouldve been subbed earlier that’s why he stopped running for goal he was out on his feet needs to make subs earlier took jack before Erajea when u could see he was knackd.

04 Sep 2018 13:03:00
Think Docherty would have been useful to have around however the club obviously felt it would be better for his development and therefore out asset for him to be playing regularly.

03 Sep 2018 14:43:30
Anyone here remember a simpler time when we went a whole season playing 4-4-2 against everyone including the mhankies and still won everything? Never would Sir Walter or Graeme Souness have played one up front, I remember games where we played 4 forwards and 2 (proper box to box midfielders-Stuart McCall a prime example! ) but unless a man had been sent off there was not just one up front especially against them! These times may feel like a long time ago but they are not a distant memory, yes the style of the game may have changed but the aim is still the same-score more than them. it's simple and yesterday proved whilst we've come a long way we still have a long way to go. usually yesterday would've been a whitewash and these forums would be in uproar folk threatening each other's dugs the lot 😜but here we are the best fans in the world gracious in a defeat that could have been a lot worse! I can't help but think if we hadn't just got in amongst them a little bit more yesterday and niggled away that wee bit more we could've got the point or in a dreamland scored on a break away, big Lafferty with a belter into the top corner lol Yesterday wasn't the drubbing we have sadly become accustomed too and yes it was a defeat but the signs are there fellow bears 🇬🇧 Coulibaly was a big miss but we can't rely on a single player, yesterday may have been a defeat but it was also a step in the correct direction. I think the next Old Firm game at Ibrox will be a lot different and let's see how the smellies like it when they're launched at from the first whistle🇬🇧🔵⚪️🔴💙❤️.

03 Sep 2018 15:16:11
Nonsense, Smith often played a 4-5-1. I remember seeing us play them with 1 up front and that one being McCulloch.

03 Sep 2018 15:27:31
Smith loved a 1 striker formation. I remember fans crying out for us to go 2 up top.

03 Sep 2018 16:03:35
We played one up top under Smith all the way to a European Cup final.

03 Sep 2018 18:37:32
Smith played with no actual striker at times. Times have changed and now most teams are three at the back with wing backs. Move on. We were well and truly outplayed. naïve in not playing to the whistle and lucky they forgot their shooting boots. Mind you we are obviously better than last year and still in Europe so I think things will only get better. The league is asque right now and will look much better come Christmas.

03 Sep 2018 14:14:11
Would just like to give a special mention to my haters who slated me 12 years ago when i said Gareth McAuley would be a Rangers player, So glad its now to came to fruition over a decade later which can now silence the majority.

03 Sep 2018 15:04:15
You can seriously remember saying that 12yrs ago🤨 I hope this small victory was well worth the long assed wait you’ve had to be proven correct lol I bet you been sat waiting with your finger hovering over enter waiting on us signing him🤭😁😆😂🤣 Sorry bro I couldn’t resist ☺️☺️ 🇬🇧🔵⚪️🔴.

03 Sep 2018 13:52:37
The outcome of yesterdays game had four scenarios before kick off 1. Victory unlikley 2. draw . possobile 3 defeat likley 4 defeat/ narrow very likley. being realistic not a great result but not a disaster remember when you climb a mountain you don't clap hands halfway up you may not reach the top this team will reach the summit, takes time skill perseverence, and then we can all clap hands remember patieve is a virtue.

03 Sep 2018 14:33:01
It had 3 actually. Win, draw or lose.

03 Sep 2018 13:34:03
Why sign Mcaulay when we could have got caulker for nothing? One has possible sell-on value and one doesn't? Bizarre.

03 Sep 2018 13:55:46
Djab. Great signing, for cover. You need to ask why Dundee effectively sacked caulker .

03 Sep 2018 13:56:38
Djab, a lot of clubs unfortunately won’t touch Caulker and the rumour is Dundee wanted him off the books? The lad has problems and I personally wish him all the best in his life and career ✌️.

03 Sep 2018 14:01:00
Nothing bizarre about it. We also got McAuley for nothing for a start, and he isn't bringing with him the problems that Caulker would. Caulker has well documented personal issues and could be a major disruption in the dressing room, something a new, young team needs like a spate of broken legs. McAuley, however, is a highly experience professional whose influence on the other centre backs will only be good, and who is still playing international football. He is also a lifelong supporter, which always helps. Not every player has a sell-on value, it's utterly naive to think that way.

03 Sep 2018 16:15:02
Djab we got McCauley for nothing just his wee to pay or was caulker going to play for nothing.

03 Sep 2018 11:35:00
scream it we need a strong centre mid that can dictate play. we have to many players with only one side to thier game. tav good forward bad defending. jack good defending can't hold ball and dictate play always with backward pass. ejaria skillfull but lightweight. arfield done nowt . coulibaly injury prone? halliday a fighter but squad player.

03 Sep 2018 12:36:57
That’s Coulibaly mate. He would have made a difference yesterday.

03 Sep 2018 11:12:42
RANGERS, I still f#@king love you! Always have and always will, this negativity everywhere is beyond a joke! That was only a one nil, ONE nil, not the usual 4/ 5 nil, progress has been made, first defeat, be honest deep down it was expected as soon as the fixture list came out with them being at home, a good decent run now with us playing more at home, the players all gelling and us feeling good again and we'll take them at Ibrox, this leagues still ours to win, it's far too early to throw in the towel!

03 Sep 2018 11:58:33
Well said Daz, the team will get better. We went through 8 qualifying matches unbeaten and are in Europa League. It was always going to be hard going to that midden after Russia. The game was yesterday and it’s done, onwards and upwards.

03 Sep 2018 12:20:06
Yes mate defo, the momentum wasn't really with us at all, three away matches in the league, tough ones at that, fair enough we should have got more out of the first two but we didn't, we need a good run at home and take the odd away result, we will definitely come good, especially with the other players we haven't even seen yet, who knows, this Grezda could be awesome and be the game changer we're crying out for.

03 Sep 2018 13:30:06
Tbf daz yes it was only 1-0 but that was at least as one sided as anyou game the last 2 years could easily have been 5 or 6 n we could have had no complaints. Changed the system at Motherwell it cost us changed our playing style yesterday it cost us. Why did we not just press them high like we've been doing and at least go down fighting that was an embarassing performance.

03 Sep 2018 09:18:38
Morning Bears. Having had time to reflect since yesterday it isn't the end of the world. A disappointing performance for sure, but it ended up only 1-0 (should have been more) . We did have one or two chances (Morelos, Tavernier, Jack) and if one had gone in who knows? Only 5 points from 4 games but the manky mob dropped 32 points last season so there are many, many points to be won and lost. SG will have to use a big squad to contend with playing in Europe and at home. We have Couilbally and Grezda to come in and I hope Dorrans and Rossiter can at last get involved this season. Lee Wallace might be needed to if injuries and suspensions take their toll. Enjoy the rest now lads and if we can get three wins on the trot in the league we'll be on the way. Final note, the manky mob were nothing special. Broon (again) was made to look good by giving him oceans of space. Remember they bombed out of the CL qualifiers and didn't exactly thrash a poor Lithuanian side. I think Hearts might pose a bigger challenge than the sheep and Lemon's green and whites.

03 Sep 2018 10:24:46
Nothing special but still dispatched your world beaters without breaking a sweat! And u never mind CL and Lithuanian teams! The poor Lithuanian team who gave us a better game than your lot! Just admit u had all got your hopes up of actually doing something but the champs put u back in your box! And your rite about hearts by the way, u’ll be lucky to finish 3rd this season lol.

03 Sep 2018 10:38:47
Lh88. You are clearly still a bit obsessed by the mighty Glasgow Rangers otherwise why would you be trawling on our site? You won 1-0, so what? Gerrard will get us back on top alright. There is a long way to go until the end of the season. We didn't play well at all yet you still only managed one goal. Happy trawling.

03 Sep 2018 12:00:34
Celtic won't play better than than whereas we will, just a matter of time till the team settles into their rhythm.

03 Sep 2018 12:22:47
you do have to laugh at the unwashed. not a peep out of them for the last 2-3 weeks and 1 win and they are back here running their mouths

a very poor performance from us gives them the victory and that's enough for their fans to gloss over crumbling and playing boyata after his actions towards clubs/ fans, the return of the biscuit tin, the CL failure, dembele slating club and manager before forcing a move away

but hey its all rosey now bcos they got a win.

03 Sep 2018 12:32:15
Lh88 you won yesterday should’ve been more but rangers my friend will be challenging in next few years so y will probaly be on this site more.

03 Sep 2018 16:44:50
One win! We’ve annihilated u since u managed to crawl up from the lower leagues! We’ve not anywhere pal! We just let you do what we all know u’ll do, and that’s bum urselfs up something rotten. then we sit back as the champions walk all over u once again laughing our heads off lol. and I cannot believe there’s some saying oh well it was only one nil and not 4 or 5! Dear oh dear times have indeed changed! Happy u only got beat one nil! Quite sad really lol. and jbf500 despite all those problems u list we still stroll to yet another easy victory! Imagine what will happen when we really get going haha!

03 Sep 2018 08:01:01
Morning everyone, I'm still on a major downer after yesterday's game. At the time I didn't think it was a foul on Jack leading to the goal but now I've seen it again it was a clear foul Rodic trailing leg trips Jack, that said I did think we had a few players hiding during the game Barisic, Ejaria, Arfield, Kent. Have to be much stronger in these games. Yes it's been a hectic tough start to the season. The players should enjoy and use the break to come back hungrier and kick on I'm sure we will have a fantastic season. c'mon us.

03 Sep 2018 07:05:21
After a wee bit of time to reflect on yesterday's defeat I can only hope Steven has learned some valuable lessons. I do understand the Russia trip was a real hindrance, but we all wanted to go through and that was very important! It was just the performance yesterday and the manner of the defeat as we simply either bottled it and never even turned up? It was a little concerning that the boss never changed anything till late in the match?
Anyway onwards and upwards and I still have faith in Stevie and the team! 🇬🇧.

03 Sep 2018 08:31:05
I really think Stevie just took one on the chin yesterday . due to the circumstance.

03 Sep 2018 08:36:14
Also mega hats. Off to the bears at parkhead. the bile they had to endure was disgusting being not allowed to leave till the home support and team rubbed it in Big style. shows you the class of the unwashed . I really wish our support had just sat back down and applauded. that would have put them in their place . but sadly it’s not the western Scotland way . Brenda must be really proud if his captain and the rat . then again it’s prob his mindset.
