04 Dec 2019 23:47:45
Before tonight I was looking forward to Sunday but if we continue with the centre halves we have I’m really worried! How many times do people slate Tav on here whilst we have a worrying right hand side of defence as Goldson spends more times on his ar5e or complaining to a referee? The big Swede is slower than a fortnight in Bar L! Sunday will be Sunday and hopefully the lads will step up a gear because we’re playing the unwashed but I fear if we don’t drop one of the two with either Katic or big George stepping in with some pace it might be a long afternoon! Would you play Arfield? I for one need a midfield of Jack, Davis and Kamara and would let Kent ( if we had the luxury) to maybe roam rather than just stick him on a wing!

Slight blip and it’s early doors still but please SG make the call and drop one of the two of them!



05 Dec 2019 01:20:12
Two big concerns, only SG can address
Put out a defensive unit that can DEFEND on Sunday, not paceless apparent favourites.
Goals win cup finals. Use Stewart or Defoe ahead of Ojo.



05 Dec 2019 02:09:37
Not a chance I would be dropping Arfield, he loves it against them.



05 Dec 2019 07:51:11
Totally agree. I'd play katic ahead of any of the 2 but slight preference goldson who has marginally more pace. Arfield must play he can get into box to support as his goal last night showed and has scored against the manks as well. I like u was looking forward but defence worry me.



05 Dec 2019 07:59:41
I thought our 2 CB were terrible last night teams know goldson has to go over and cover for tav in turn leaves space and expose herlander who has no pace what so ever and goldson gets caught on the ball too much as well you think he would have learned from the Celtic game at home but he keeps doing it every week what’s that all about?



05 Dec 2019 08:35:00
For the big games like last night, europe, old firms etc. Katic and kamara should be in the team, aribo and ojo nowhere near it, said this for months. Can't for the life of me understand why gerrard has to tinker for no reason. Kamara jack davis have been bossing games and gerrard decides to change it for pittodrie. Unbelievable. Gerrard sticks with goldson and helander, god knows why👍.



05 Dec 2019 08:48:38
Honestly if we play as we did against Aberdeen Celtic will win 2 or 3 nil.



05 Dec 2019 09:40:24
Or if Celtic play as they did against Hamilton it will be stalemate!



05 Dec 2019 16:25:14
When Aberdeen got there 1st goal our midfield of full internationals btw went into hiding and got bullied by a young lad we thought wasn't good enough (Ferguson)



05 Dec 2019 16:40:20
so you didn't watch the game then. and defending near the goal line for the first is sunday football 101. not closing any angles? compressing the player? yep your probably right.



04 Dec 2019 23:46:35
On the penalty decision. We shouldn't need it for the three points. Celtic didn't, and that's where we should be. Winning in the 95th minute if need be, under our own steam.



05 Dec 2019 02:53:37
Agreed Cletus. When Hamilton equalised late on against Celtic I just got the feeling they would still win the match. They do it time and time again. We should have been out of sight last night and we shouldn't need a penalty decision whether it's right or wrong to win that match last night. I was pleased Gerrard called out the fact that "we should have been defending at the second goal and not complaining about a free kick". Maybe Goldson isn't untouchable. It's not like Gerrard to call out individual errors in interviews. He called out Flanagan for giving away the needless throw in too. We'll see what happens over the next week with team selection. We are miles ahead of where we were even from last season and the club is still on an upward trajectory but we are now at a point where difficult decisions need to be made with one or two players. Goldson is the main one for me that needs taken out with Katic to come back in. I've said time an time again that I still think Goldson has been a decent signing overall but some others have just surpassed him now.



05 Dec 2019 07:54:34
No we shouldn't need it but it's all part of the game. Disappointing last night but to put a positive spin on it I hear the dark side were honking last night and only scraped through in injury time at home against Hamilton. And I hear Hamilton hit the post and also missed an absolute sitter. Also, they had 9 attepmts on goal So, looking at both games I guess ours would have been the better result. Roles reversed our lot on here would no doubt have said we were lucky and they got a fighting draw up there. Sometimed it's all about perspective. We are only 2 points behind, playing in a cup final on Sunday that will take care of itself, and playing at home next Thursday with a brilliant chance of winning the group and being seeded going into the last 32 in Europe. Given the trials and tribulations of the past few years, who wouldn't have taken that?



05 Dec 2019 08:52:33
Well said Seeker. Too many hit the panic button and start slagging off our team.



05 Dec 2019 09:18:44
I used the word intensity after Sundays game as we showed it for the full 90 minutes, why oh why does this team take it's foot off the gas, all we had to do was get the ball down and keep it after the break, their punts up the park should be easily dealt with, and as for their 1st goal, row Z in the stand all the time, the ball should never have got near the box.



05 Dec 2019 12:00:23
Or get, Aberdeen knew they only had to punt deep balls last night, as my nose can run quicker than half our defence, I can't understand why s. g. Keeps playing tav, Goodson, ide have preferred Halliday to that other scouser, he must be laughing at us paying him a wage,



05 Dec 2019 16:41:28
anyone else notice that was the first goal by rangers player in 3 games created on the right. 1 in 3. looks like no left side no game. but its not tavs fault.



04 Dec 2019 23:08:51
Are we trying to fit Srinivasan into the team? How many times are we going to try him in that position? It's not working.



04 Dec 2019 23:48:52
Thought he was our best player the night 😉.



05 Dec 2019 06:14:56
That was supposed to say aribo 😟.



05 Dec 2019 07:41:53
Bath gate have s few beers last night lol.



05 Dec 2019 13:05:44
How did aribo turn into that 😂😂😂.



04 Dec 2019 23:07:16
Said for a while it's time holds on got dropped, too busy complaining someone made contact with him to get on with defending and is it just me or does everyone else get the sense he's going to slip all the time. Seems to spend most of his game on his bottom.



04 Dec 2019 23:47:07
Agreed, Katic needs to be back in. Hate this favouritism crap. It’s getting beyond a joke.



05 Dec 2019 07:20:02
I think you will find manager sees Goldson as best option not favouritism.



04 Dec 2019 22:42:10
Said for weeks on here, where is george edmundson? We should have had him in at one of the centre half positions weeks ago. Everytine i've seen edmundson playing for us, he's been impressive and nearly forgot, he's got pace, something we badly lack with goldson and helander.



04 Dec 2019 23:31:39
S, g, l. Nathan Patterson, big George, Katic, Borno barisic, that's the 4 that should be playing. imo.



05 Dec 2019 08:47:41
Don't be daft. Dropping tav for a youth team player is utter petulance from our fans.
Agree tho that Stevie G should look to bring katic in more.



05 Dec 2019 12:03:01
Ally rangers, Nathan Patterson puts tav to shame and tav knows it, I think if we can move tav on next window, we should do so.



04 Dec 2019 22:32:24
I know we are going through a tough spell of fixtures just now but that tonight was the hardest of them all and we blew it. Well, the defence blew it for us. I have the fear for Sunday if we defend like that again. Christie's movement around the box is going give us major problems, Edouard going to have field day with Goldson and Helander, let's face it SG want drop them.
Anyway let's hope we use tonight as some motivation and put in some effort against them on Sunday. I can handle getting beat as long as we put in the effort but fail to turn up or throw it away like tonight is just criminal.



04 Dec 2019 22:36:25
Cant argue mate.



04 Dec 2019 22:46:14
After 30 minutes I'm thinking another 5 tonight, but what was that all about at the back, Flanagan a bombscare, and the lack of pace with Goldson and Helander was frightening. We could in fact have lost all 3 points in the second half. I still can't believe we've handed them a 2 point lead tonight, very angry Gers man tonight.



04 Dec 2019 22:31:36
What has happened to our defense, it's now quite worrying how many goals were shipping, I love Morelos, but could have kicked him in the ass the night, falling down all the time for nothing . Our team is still leaderless, it rips out of us when things don't go our way . sorry to say it but SG looked a bit lost on how to change it . We will never win anything with the Capt we have, he is not a Rangers Captain . Still think we will win on Sunday right enough.



04 Dec 2019 22:42:35
Ha brilliant bmf . we will never will anything with the capt we have . still think we will win on Sunday right enough . lol . Is that quote actually in the same sentence.



05 Dec 2019 05:21:05
Goldson is a bomb scare
If Stevie_G thinks bringing on Ojo is going to change the game, then I'm sorry but he isn't.
Not looking good for Sunday with no pace in defence.
We will get ripped a new one.



05 Dec 2019 07:55:03
Tav does lack defensively but he has most assists alongside christie. Maybe playing him 1 up maybe answer but would need to drop 1 of our 3 midfielders to accommodate that will never happen.



05 Dec 2019 08:49:32
Thought the last 2 games we have played Morelos has looked tired and flat. Hopefully on Sunday he has a burst of energy against they lot.



05 Dec 2019 09:30:55
I never predict an Old Firm result, Celtic are more positive in most of their games right up until the final whistle, they are BEATABLE, make no mistake, and in a way, maybe last nights result came at exactly the right time, remember our performance at Hamilton, again, we could have dropped points due to falling off the pace. We must be in their face from the off and play forward not this tip and tap sideways and backwards crap like last night.

Someone in an earlier post said 'too many hit the panic button', if we play like last night, we won't win the cup, and will more than likely lose to YBB on Thursday, that's the reality as I see it, and, I normally very positive about Rangers in everything we do.



05 Dec 2019 09:41:06
Yeah, Drop Tav whe'll win . Lol . Just watched there goals, Goldson is the bomb scare, he doesn't even try to get back for the 1st, and the 2nd, he's jumping about like a fan-y claiming handball, that guy needs dropped immediately. Absolutely hopeless .



04 Dec 2019 22:28:51
Anyone else listen to Gerard's post match interview? Concerning if you ask me - said the players can't handle the pressure, going 2-0 ahead went to the players heads etc. I was optimistic for Sunday prior to kick off tonight but just can't see it happening now - celtic are just far too consistent and will run at Goldson and Hellander all day and cause mayhem.



04 Dec 2019 22:07:50
We were great 1st half, should have been 4 up at half time. Disappointing 2nd half but a point away to the sheep isn't a disaster. The unwashed only beat Hamilton in stoppage time. Shows how our expectations are so high again! I agree about defence and would love to see Katic back. Was Barisic injured tonight? Got to go all out on Sunday to win.



04 Dec 2019 22:13:14
Wouldn't say great but dominated. A point is a disaster. It's like getting beat. Forgot Sunday if we don't make changes at the back.



04 Dec 2019 22:23:15
Not a bad result, it was a shocker. 2 nil up and yet again our defence cost us. Get katic back. When you look to your bench for a game changer and you bring on ojo, you know you are fecked👍.



04 Dec 2019 22:26:04
Will not win silverware with that defence it’s so lacking in pace why he sticks with them I don’t know Tav has been poor lately great going forward but poor defensively but there is no one to challenge him Goldston and Helender are slow as for Flanagan we least said.



04 Dec 2019 22:28:50
Coldo our manager has got to see this. This hasn't happened overnight. Thing is Tav or Goldson won't get dropped.



04 Dec 2019 22:53:08
Agreed. Goldson and Helander too slow, Tav not a leader and doesn't defend most of the time, Flanagan brought in at last minute so can't really put much blame on him but I don't agree with playing him at LB, see it all the time when he plays he checks back onto his right and looks uncomfortable out on the left. Ojo, he is talented but frustratingly inconsistent and just doesn't perform to the level required. There must be something in his contract that he has to play. SG needs to make decisions quicker, we could all see after 50 mins we needed to change things up, surely Stewart should have been on before Ojo tonight?



05 Dec 2019 16:37:38
Have said for weeks Goldson and Tav need dropped, Yes we have a Cup Final on Sunday against Them, But surely SG must have the balls to say guys you have not been playing well off late and you both will be on the bench on Sunday, If he can’t see What the Supporters can, Well that would be very worrying, How these two play just about every game is astounding, Katic in for Goldson, And someone that can defend in for Tav. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎.



04 Dec 2019 21:57:13
Really trying hard not to slate any players but the defence was garbage.



04 Dec 2019 22:25:38
When are going to get a real captain and new right back.



04 Dec 2019 21:55:04
Why bring on Ojo? Why not Stewart? I love SG to bits but he got that wrong at the end.

Our lack of pace at centre back is very worrying and Goldsons slackness on the ball is hurting us badly.



05 Dec 2019 06:31:34
rangers seem to get to their box and go sideways and back, the difference is celtic will always seem to get last minute stuff. it frustrates me that rangers can't do the same.



04 Dec 2019 21:53:05
Granted that’s 2 points lost tonight, however the boys have been brilliant so far this season so not going to be overly critical.

Big game on Sunday now, maybe tonight was the boot up the backside we needed to be reminded of what’s at stake this season!



04 Dec 2019 21:52:35
Sunday our biggest game since admin. Win and belief it would give players and fans could see us go to win league but lose and may well go opposite way. We need to get back to basics and for me katic has to play ahead of any of our centre halfs.



04 Dec 2019 22:28:30
If we want to win leagues we need to see games out at 2 nil, that will give us confidence, not winning a cup final. Unbelievable👍.



04 Dec 2019 22:59:01
I agree with you Coldo, need to see games out and that starts with tactics. I don't want to be harsh on him but in the last 3 games I have seen us in a winning position under pressure and there is Tav fecking 15 to 20 yards in the opposition half when we need him to keep it tight and obviously we could use his pace to cover Goldson and Helander but no, poor game management and lack of leadership. I know SG wants players to express themselves but not to take risks when you are under pressure and looking to see the game out!



04 Dec 2019 21:42:55
Angry doesn't come close to describe me right now. I don't what's going on at the back just now defenders are rank rotten.



04 Dec 2019 22:15:42
Couldn’t agree more sangil80 Goldson, Helander and Flanagan were utter garbage tonight Katic must be asking himself what the hells going on he’s better than both these guy’s but for some reason SG sees something else hopefully him coming on at the end is a sign he’ll be back in on Sunday.



04 Dec 2019 22:26:45
Would be good to see katic back in there I also liked the look of edmundson really quick for a big lad.



04 Dec 2019 22:33:56
We really want to throw two CB’s who are not match sharp in on Sunday?

Jeez!



05 Dec 2019 07:24:14
I'd rather play them two who I imagine are as sharp if not sharper than goldson anyway than watch mistakes happen all over our defence.



05 Dec 2019 07:29:35
The two cb that play just now are not match sharp either👍.



05 Dec 2019 07:47:46
Mjst be better than the 2 who have the jerseys just now. Were shipping chances galore due to a lack of pace and physicality. We have 2 dit far too deep as helander looks like he's towing s caravan, and I don't know what's happened to goldson. The guys games fell to pieces he really needs a break out of team.



04 Dec 2019 21:42:45
Well if the guys were playing for a starting jersey against the Dhims then we are screwed on that performance. Those 2 CBs are going to ripped.



04 Dec 2019 21:40:04
Defending was woeful 2 centre half's lack of pace exposes and flannigan not good enough SG has a decision for Sunday as defend like tonight and I fear for us. Not an overreaction iv posted recently about Central defence.



04 Dec 2019 21:14:11
Take the point now, we're shocking at the back.



04 Dec 2019 21:39:48
shocking through the team. jack thinking strolling about thinking he owned the place, flannigan well what can i say. denied a penalty too. how do we go from owning them in first half to that display in the second.



04 Dec 2019 21:42:34
No one got pass marks, heads went down after their first goal.



04 Dec 2019 21:48:52
Very poor tonight on that form the league is Celtics the league cup is Celtic’s and we’re not going to win the Europa cup either could well be a trophyless season again. Why on earth does SG wait so long to change things when it’s clearly not happening? And Ohno to the rescue seriously! What happened to Stewart he did the business last game then is not given a chance?



04 Dec 2019 21:48:55
We need to sort out that defending out why does goldson think he can play about at the back all the time and gets caught how many times these 2 Center backs have no pace!



04 Dec 2019 21:51:51
Tav, Helander and Goldson were very poor. Celtic will know our defence is our weekest link. What you going to do Gerrard for Sunday?



04 Dec 2019 21:54:56
Gerrard pisses me off with subs at weekend he says stewarts been brilliant in training then comes on and scores 2 then guess what dropoed next game and has a cheek to bring on that coward ojo who done **** all again.



04 Dec 2019 22:00:34
Awful second half performance.

Back 4 terrible. Goldson and Jack started the slide with being sloppy in possession. Flannigan was terrible. I know he hasn’t played but he should be better than that.

Aribo and Ojo just don’t do it for me and Stevie Gs subs were pointless. Why didn’t he stick Katic up front for last couple of minutes if he was bringing him on? Looking at the bench we had very little quality with the exception of Defoe.



04 Dec 2019 22:34:54
Whole team thought they had one it at 2-0, no pass marks. Davis and Jack could not pass water tonight.
Back four bottled it .
Need massive improvement in next two games.



04 Dec 2019 21:12:06
Any chance some of our fans could actually get behind our players?

Maybe the ref could understand that it's a football game not wrestling.

Aberdeen are leaving the boot in almost every tackle.



04 Dec 2019 21:17:40
So what? We were 2 nil up and we are terrible. Wheres the subs? Take a draw? Go bile your head man.



04 Dec 2019 21:17:55
If I was at the game I would be behind them. But I’m at home so I’m calling the defence out for the absolute donkeys that they are.



04 Dec 2019 21:22:32
you can not defend the defence tonite goldson has not been good for weeks and it has showing tonite we will get slaughtered if defence play like this on Sunday.



04 Dec 2019 21:43:16
AS1974 - have I to go and "bile my head"? Did you watch the last 10 mins of the 1st half and the entire 2nd half? We were second best to everything. They could easily have won that and probably should have with the header Cosgrove put wide. So yeah, take the point. Better being 2 behind than 3. Goldson and Hellander have absolutely no pace and Celtic go forward with pace. We do too, but Julien and Ajer are more capable.



04 Dec 2019 22:22:05
So take a point now to me is admitting defeat.



04 Dec 2019 22:36:29
Stonewall penalty, battered throughout and didn’t get a decision for us - we played against thugs and the ref did not stand up and enforce the rules of the game.



05 Dec 2019 07:31:16
Just excuse after excuse with you DK👍.



04 Dec 2019 21:08:45
Why aren't we changing this? Defoe and Stewart on.



04 Dec 2019 21:36:57
Agreed what a joke.



04 Dec 2019 21:06:28
Not only are we fanning about too much in and around our own box too much, more often than not when we look like breaking someone stops and plays it backwards. I can't understand it to be honest.



04 Dec 2019 21:40:04
Biota blue av bn saying that for weeks no way are these tactics gonay stop 9iar.



04 Dec 2019 21:03:27
Our defence is an absolute shambles. I won’t even mention Tav as folk with glaucoma will be on defending him again. Goldson needs dropped he has been ropey all season and if Helander gets turned he is in trouble. Starting to think Katic and Edmundson are our best two centre halves.



04 Dec 2019 21:07:29
Cant disagree Wags but they both get backed on here.



04 Dec 2019 21:09:21
Said before on here we switch off sometimes and it’s going to cust us pity we’ve been playing good football but dominating teams then letting them back in it soft goals must be demoralising hope they don’t defend lije this Sunday.



04 Dec 2019 21:16:37
There’s a decent player in Goldson he just needs taken out for a bit. Tav on the other hand is possibly the worst Rangers captain of all time. Can’t believe he had the arrogance to hit that free kick when all his dead balls are shocking.



04 Dec 2019 21:25:35
Swag agree with everything you say except the bit about Goldston.



04 Dec 2019 21:41:49
We willdefend like this on sun we've bn all season.



04 Dec 2019 21:43:50
Then to take the second free kick after a honking attempt at the first. Unbelievable.



04 Dec 2019 22:02:05
Agree swagman. Decent player just looks like his confidence is gone.



04 Dec 2019 22:09:56
Didn't see the game, but we only have one decent defender, and he wasn't playing tonight. Every opposition team must be concentrating on attacking down our right, or even down the middle, where we are weakest, for me goldson and helander are far too slow for the spl, and our problems at right back are obvious. Knee jerk reactions can sometimes cause more problems in team cohesion, but Gerrard/ Mcalister must see where our problems lie. Time will tell if they do anything about it. To drop points like that before Sundays game is sickening.



04 Dec 2019 20:56:50
Gerrard spent 10million on the defence and were still absolutely brutal at the back. Crazy defending.



04 Dec 2019 21:03:48
CBs are murder.



04 Dec 2019 21:04:35
Sooner katic is back in the better👍.



04 Dec 2019 21:06:02
We have 2 CB'S better than this dumpling.



04 Dec 2019 21:42:19
guys flannigan was woeful, jack wasnt in it. we lost the midfield on every second ball, no positive passing, too loose all round.



04 Dec 2019 21:50:46
Even bigger kick in the stones the tims scoring right after hamiltons equaliser. Really freaing sunday. Gerrard continues the pals act. Goldson is a liability and has been one of our worst players this season. Kent in effective as playing far to deep. Honestly can believe am having this rant after coasting at 2 nil.



04 Dec 2019 21:59:55
Have to agree not one for picking on our players but Wow Goldson and Helander were shocking No pace and why do they let balls bounce? Helander was letting it bounce 2-3 times! Madness! Was like we thought it was won at 2-0 took the foot off the gas and couldn’t lift it again. Think it’s time for Big Nico to come back in! The balance of the team without Barasic was horrible everything up the right after 40 mins they worked it out! Roll on Sunday 👊🏻💙.



04 Dec 2019 20:48:06
Disgrace!



04 Dec 2019 20:36:38
Big Cosgrove is a dumpling 🇬🇧.



04 Dec 2019 20:52:23
Defend like that sunday and they will give us 6.



04 Dec 2019 21:00:21
Big Goldson is a dumpling!



04 Dec 2019 20:33:54
Should be out of sight. I hope this doesn't come back to haunt us. Aribo been brilliant. Kent in flashes. Good performance so far.



04 Dec 2019 21:39:17
Sadly seeker it did. No one played well tonight. What a shambles.



04 Dec 2019 20:32:49
Playing well but very soft centre to our defence terrible goal to lose.



04 Dec 2019 20:32:00
Yes we are winning but we are treating this like a training match. They are so poor its unreal. Honestly how is Tav our captain? Ok he set up the goal. Prior to that his passing and crossing is dreadful. Goldson. . He is absolutely terrible! What's wrong with Morelos? He doesn't look interested.



04 Dec 2019 20:36:13
Geez a break. Sgree with goldson tav been excellent so far n that from someone who's not his biggest fan. Morelos movement is leaving gaps everywhere for us.



04 Dec 2019 20:43:26
Personally think tavs had a good 1st half the worst 2 passes of the half were by jack i see your not hammering him, aribo arfield n kent looking good.



04 Dec 2019 20:49:21
Here we go? Excellent? Fs stay of the drugs!



04 Dec 2019 21:54:17
Set up the goal, drive us forward constantly first half.



04 Dec 2019 20:26:23
I'm no expert so could someone explain to me why, with our complete dominance we are so keen to play the game in our own half.?



04 Dec 2019 20:24:22
Goldson and Tav! how many times! Get them dropped SG!
Tav crossing is a disgrace!



04 Dec 2019 20:38:53
goldson wants dropped pronto.



04 Dec 2019 20:03:48
Arfield in middle of park💙🇬🇧.

Wow how can you be getting on Tavs back? Most assists in the premier league 😂 and one tonight he’s a right back! Not many if any players get deliveries right all the time! The goal wasn’t his fault came from the left he was over covering! Our scapegoat 🤦‍♂️ The guy can’t do anything right in some folks eyes.



04 Dec 2019 20:54:00
Because he needs dropped. He's a passenger. End off.



04 Dec 2019 21:05:56
Correct as1974. He’s absolutely terrible. If I hit 527 crosses a game plus claiming all the set pieces despite being awful at them would be expecting to have had more than 6 assists at this point. Tav will cost us the league. And probably the cup on Saturday too.



04 Dec 2019 22:04:02
Why has no one else done it in the league if it’s that easy? Be serious 😂 that’s laughable! Stick Flanno in n let’s see how we get on he’ll get 0 assists per season our shape will be completely different and he’s slow as a week in the jail!



04 Dec 2019 19:43:31
Saving borna for sunday. good ideas because sheep are going to be playing dirty.



04 Dec 2019 19:56:41
You can bet your last 50p the sheep will try to kick and elbow us off the park.



04 Dec 2019 20:24:57
As predicted the sheep are true to form kicking anything in blue. They are a disgrace.



04 Dec 2019 20:38:24
Taylor’s elbow on Morelos was a sending off. Morelos got sent of for the same thing on Scott brown last season, granted Taylor’s wasn’t in the face but Taylor wasn’t even looking at the ball he had his eye on Alfie the whole time. With the intent that was a sending off for me all day long. As for considine he must think the ball is wearing a rangers strip, kicking everything in sight!



04 Dec 2019 19:25:11
Let's get right intae them from the start. Again, would be happy with any win and no injuries or suspensions. Doesn't Mackay Steven sound like a big lassie?



04 Dec 2019 17:21:22
Genuinely concerned tonight for Morelos I'd like defoe to start I'd also like Davis and Goldson dropped for katic and Arfeild I hope that wouldn't disrupt the team too much with 3 changes let's roll the dice and see how Aberdeen come out then bring on Morelos if needed I'm pretty sure they will go after him to injure the guy if he starts.



04 Dec 2019 18:35:57
They might try and noise him up but I don't believe they will try and injury a fellow pro.



04 Dec 2019 19:29:18
Try telling that to Neil Simpson.



04 Dec 2019 19:35:44
25 year ago.



04 Dec 2019 19:55:25
I don't care if it was 25 years ago. Disgrace of an attack on a fellow pro can't even call it a tackle.



04 Dec 2019 20:13:30
Aye it was a disgusting tackle my point is the fans etc might hate each other but the players now are not out to injury each other yes they will kick and push and pull each other around and go in hard . Aberdeen players won't even know of the Simpson tackle.



04 Dec 2019 15:59:11
how much we get if we qualify from uefa group? wdw.



04 Dec 2019 18:24:53
Sbout s million yo top group.



04 Dec 2019 18:45:33
Wilkinscreamer I think I read that it would generate at least 4 million if we got through group.



04 Dec 2019 18:53:19
One million to win group 500 thousand runners up plus prize money for young boys game.



04 Dec 2019 19:21:02
And seeded if we win group.



04 Dec 2019 14:57:05
A lot of people saying we should rest Morelos tonight. We need to play our strongest team. This is a huge month.

I'd go with
McGregor
Tav, Goldson, Helander, Barisic
Jack, Davis, Kamara
Stewart, Morelos, Kent

I still would like to see big Katic get back in to the line up but don't fix it if it isn't broke.



04 Dec 2019 15:31:00
Maybe we should rest Goldson or Helander for Katic tonight as they have played a lot of football recently?
Even Flanigan at RB for Tav?
It isn’t disrupting the team too much.



04 Dec 2019 16:00:46
Strongest team right there blue89 imo until we can get a proper right winger🇬🇧.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Top 10 Right-Backs



04 Dec 2019 14:38:30
Keep it simple, win them all.



04 Dec 2019 15:28:20
Also Young boys only need draw to go to last 32.



04 Dec 2019 15:31:54
Correct John, 100% agree.



04 Dec 2019 18:27:44
They don't john. Young boys draw with us porto win its us n porto through mate.



04 Dec 2019 13:15:07
I know this has been discussed a bit in a previous thread but I was going to ask a similar question of fellow bears, if you were to rank our next three games, how would they rank for you in terms of priorities. This is obviously hypothetical and we want to win them all but if you had to pick .

Mine would be
1) Young Boys in the Europa
2) League cup final
3) tonight

I know most will disagree and say the league but financial incentives make the Europa League number 1, the fact we have not won a trophy in a long time for me makes the league cup number 2 and the league game tonight number 3. This is not playing down how important tonight is but if this doesn't go well it does not mean we cannot win the league similarly if we win tonight it does not mean we will win anything.



04 Dec 2019 13:24:13
312 its a no brainer mate👍.



04 Dec 2019 13:29:31
The cups the most important thing for me, then europa, then tonight.



04 Dec 2019 13:37:26
1. Tonight
2. Young Boys
3 League cup final.



04 Dec 2019 14:31:05
thats the thing though. pure logic can be a bu.



04 Dec 2019 14:15:34
Guys, this is Ranger FC we're talking about here, everyone is a (1) in my opinion, you can't pick and choose if you want success, I'm sure that's what SG means with taking 1 game at a time.



04 Dec 2019 14:24:00
3 1 2 still lots of time in league.



04 Dec 2019 15:12:42
IMO all three games are as important as the others, at our football club its imperative we approach every game with the same importance and attitude. we are Glasgow Rangers after all and nothing but the best is good enough. i'd say 1) Tonight 2) League cup final and 3) Europa league. Reasoning for my order is this is the order they will be played in so right in this moment tonight is the most important, take every game as it comes with high importance and play to the best we can, if we do I don't see no reason we can't get wins in all three games. I know on our day we can beat these three opposition.



04 Dec 2019 15:29:05
2-1-3 for me.



04 Dec 2019 15:57:53
The most important game is the next one. No matter the team or competition. One game at a time sweet Jesus!



04 Dec 2019 16:46:47
Lol, now I've got that song stuck in my head c of Ibrox.



04 Dec 2019 18:38:24
Would take a win in cup and 2 draws right now but think we will win tonight.



04 Dec 2019 12:52:42
Hi

Morelos will be targeted against Aberdeen tonight and Celtic on Sunday
They know he is a big threat to them and would like him injured and out the game for a while.

Hope Morelos can survive these games without any injuries.

We have to play him tonight because the league is the priority this season, anything else would be a bonus

In Gerrard we trust.



04 Dec 2019 12:24:09
Am sure you only get suspended if it's a red card for violent conduct.



04 Dec 2019 08:35:29
Question for tonight, we know Aberdeen will try and get in the faces of certain players but if someone gets a red card does this mean they miss the final Sunday? With it being the league cup it falls under the League suspension rules? If so does Defoe start tonight? I know the buff has looked calmer this year but we also know Aberdeen will do anything against us to get praise.



04 Dec 2019 08:45:44
Tonight's game is more important than sunday, so strongest team starts tonight👍.



04 Dec 2019 09:32:23
Rangers have to win every game.
It's what we expect, and what makes us the club we are. We don't accept 2nd best.
Deal with Aberdeen first, then move on too Sunday. 👍.



04 Dec 2019 09:34:32
Coldo agree the league is important, but we need to have a squad for the full season, what I am saying is Defoe could be more suited for tonight against Aberdeen and keep the buff for Sunday. Anyway does the suspensions carry from tonight into Sunday? do you know? I know all games are important but I believe Sunday is the one we have to win to give a bit of extra belief that we can win trophies and continue the fight for the season. My major concern is that tonight they target Buff and Jack, 2 major players we can't afford to lose for Sunday.



04 Dec 2019 09:57:26
I agree Sunday is crucial but we definitely have to go with our strongest team tonight. Alfredo, Jack and Davis all in. Any time recently we've started Defoe I've not been that impressed (Celtic game and accies for example) . The buffalo for me everytime.



04 Dec 2019 10:25:35
Not really sure how the suspensions work to be honest mate, we play our strongest 11 tonight, that means no ojo or aribo. Morelos starts along with jack. Sunday's game means nothing if we lose ground in the league. Tonight's game is far more important. 👍.



04 Dec 2019 10:17:27
Defoe cannot give you anything close to what morelos gives. Can play him at home to likes of St mirren etc.



04 Dec 2019 11:10:21
Is someone gets a straight red, they miss the final if it is two bookings they miss the next league game.



04 Dec 2019 11:37:08
I'd prefer to start with Defoe tonight but I don't think that will happen. Aberdeen were woeful against us last time, we can do them without Morelos. They'll be kicking lumps out of the players tonight. Big injury risk. I don't think we'll beat Celtic without Morelos.



04 Dec 2019 12:14:27
Could someone explain to me why keeping morelos fit for sunday is more important than playing him tonight for 3 points🤔. The league cup is meaningless and even if we beat celtic, it won't be a psychological advantage if we drop points tonight. Beating aberdeen tonight is a must👍.



04 Dec 2019 12:22:25
Coldo, most of the time your points on here are good, but Sunday’s game is meaningless against our biggest rivals? I agree with you the League is our main priority but surely we should be trying to win on Sunday? Hopefully you regret that comment and have another think about it as this is Glasgow Rangers we are talking about✌️🇬🇧.



04 Dec 2019 12:23:37
Agree with Coldo,3 points is a must tonight, strongest available 11 for me everytime.



04 Dec 2019 12:25:05
Agree Tonight is as important as Sunday. Have to play Morelos Gerrard said loads of times he wants to play every game so let him loose score 2 then bring him off 👊🏻.



04 Dec 2019 13:02:14
i see McKenna admitting his manager told him to agitate Morelos, i said this when it happened and pointed out that Mc Innes and McKenna brought the game into disrepute and both should have been suspended, but of course nothing happened.



04 Dec 2019 13:13:35
Prediction if Defoe and Aribo start tonight we won’t win.



04 Dec 2019 13:27:49
In terms of priorities yately, the cup final will mean nothing pyschologically if we beat them and we drop points tonight. 👍.



04 Dec 2019 14:19:23
Let's hope Aberdeen get all the hassle tonight for a change.



04 Dec 2019 07:53:18
So, Scott McKenna has came out and admitted that McInnes instructed his players to target Morelos last season. We all knew that anyway but let's see Morelos continue to keep his cool tonight and shove that back down his throat tonight.



04 Dec 2019 13:00:38
Glad we didn’t get McInnes for Manager, Can’t believe I used to watch him playing for the Famous, He was poor as a Player and is the same being a Manager. C’mon Rangers destroy the 🐑. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎.



04 Dec 2019 14:21:12
I wonder what the Compliance Officer will do about those comments, if it was us the other 11 teams would want us hammered.



04 Dec 2019 18:31:08
Dont be daft. hsppens in every dressing room, at every single level of football. Most players wouldn't even have needed told, McKenna must just be daft 👍.

03 Dec 2019 23:15:42
Haha Glenn Kamara is going nowhere Juve would be getting Kamara at a snip for 8m That kind of money is nothing to teams like Juve!

Valuation of Rangers players imo

Alfredo Morelos 25m
Borna Barisic 15m
Ryan Kent 12-15m
Ryan Jack 10-15m
Filip Helander 10-12m
Connor Goldson 10m
Glenn Kamara 10m
Joe Aribo 8-10m
James Tavernier 8-10m

These values may fluctuate but are mostly realistic!



04 Dec 2019 02:44:33
Kaz, you should be an agent, son! Ross Wilson's top valuation of our whole squad is £103m yet here you list just 9 players who you believe are worth £120m! Realistic? In the same way Santa is realistic.



04 Dec 2019 04:57:24
Juve would get kamara at a snip for 8mil but you value him at 10mil? Surely 10mil is a snip if 8mil is a snip. A difference of 2mil is nothing. Kamara is worth a bit more that 10mil. 👍.



04 Dec 2019 07:36:19
Some are are a fair bit off I'd say. Helander hasn't exactly set the heather alight where we could expect 3x what we just paid for him. Goldson has been pretty poor from sfter winter break last season I'd prob say half what u value him at. Same with aribo can't get in our team so no idea how he's 10m? Think we could get a bit more for morelos and kamara, especially if kamara impresses at the euros 👍.



04 Dec 2019 07:41:15
Goldson 10m? Lol
Alfie more like 35m
Aribo more like 5m
Kent 10m
Kamara 5m
Tav 5m
Jack 8m.



04 Dec 2019 08:36:06
Some of what you have been smoking please.



04 Dec 2019 08:42:20
Lucky if we make our money back on goldson. Think he's our worst centre half of the 4.aribo bar his debut for nigeria has not really done much to justify a 10mill price tag. helander nowhere near that valuation. Nothing like blue tinted glasses eh?



04 Dec 2019 08:48:50
Kamara 5mil, jack 8mil, kent 10mil. You get a good laugh on here. They 3 players are key players and worth a lot more than that. We couldn't replace they 3 for that money. 👍.



04 Dec 2019 09:56:57
Alfredo Morelos 25m
Borna Barisic 5m
Ryan Kent 5m
Ryan Jack 4m
Filip Helander 5m
Connor Goldson 4m
Glenn Kamara 7m
Joe Aribo 6m
James Tavernier 7m.



04 Dec 2019 10:03:01
It's all speculation.
Players are only worth what another club are willing to pay.
How do you replace someone like Morelos if we got £25 million for him?
How do you replace the likes of Kent, Kamara and Jack if they were to go for big money?
Some players right now are irreplaceable in our quest for this league title.
Even Davis - how do you eventually replace him?



04 Dec 2019 10:03:31
Aribo worth more than jack kent and barasic? Fredo 25m? You said the other day that we would knock back 40m for him. @DK 😱👍.



04 Dec 2019 11:03:19
dk-19 5 mill for kent? really 2 million less than we paid? sorry mate can't agree with that and barasic? nope just nope.



04 Dec 2019 12:33:17
Would give you Tav for a fiver.



04 Dec 2019 13:23:40
I genuinely don't get where these prices come from guys, Alfredo apart I am not sure any would be over £10m, and most not close to it. I like Kamara but to say he is worth £10m plus, really?



04 Dec 2019 14:31:20
If he has a good euros we will get more than 10m for Kamara. It's nothing for the pl. I'd say 10 to 12 would be fair. 10for borna 10 for kent 25-30 for morelos. 8m jack 4m tav 3 each goldson helander, 4 for katic prob our sellable assets .



04 Dec 2019 17:54:32
Swagman that ridiculous post just about sums you up.
