Where is josh windass? that's my question fellow bears! At ibrox today we were all discussing this when we realised what our starting team was! what's wrong with this young man? This chopping and changing by mark warburton is not having any impact and no continuity in the team! He has to find out what his best starting eleven is! Really something warbs should have figured out long before now!

04 Feb 2017 23:29:21
It makes no sense, the manager appears to have taken the team to his tactical limit with no signs of improvement and it's run out of luck with premiership opposition.

04 Feb 2017 23:37:56
So all week we all moan wanting changes including you and then you come on moaning that he changed the team. Strange.

04 Feb 2017 23:54:02
Supercoop, it has certainly taken you a long time to see the light about warburton, man is clueless.
I also remember you told me i would end up with egg on my face when i told you on day one that Garner was a total waste of £1.8 Mil.
Surprised none of your "contacts" marked your card on that one.

04 Feb 2017 23:55:26
Warburton doesn't know anything

05 Feb 2017 00:11:44
It absolutely amazes me! It drives me mad! That our manager will not play a formation other than this loose 4-3-3 It ain't a solid 4-3-3 with 2 of the front 3 hugging the wings and especially feel for McCay out on the left always needin up cut in due to bein right footed!

Really would like to seriously us play a 4-4-2 not sayin that we stick with that from heterosexual on in but would really like to see McCay on the right and Garner playing alongside Miller up front. Unfortunately the way Warbs sets up the team and his unwillingness to change is the main reason I can see him going at end of season.

Also can't understand why he put Hyndman in place for Halliday thought he should have stayed were he was with poss Toral or Hodson even Wilson playing DM Anyways Bears the fact King has not sanctioned deals for Hill and Miller says to me that all internal deals are off with maybe exception of McKay until the new manager comes in!

In fact I think that this reason makes it absolutely obvious that this will be the case AND Hill and Miller have prob been informed of this as they would want to know about their future. Don't think it will matter who comes in ad anus decent manager should know that Hill and Miller are needed especially due to our situation at present. SOS to Redknapp or DeBoer poss have Ferguson as assistant as too soon for Barry to take reigns totally.

05 Feb 2017 00:03:24
Its got to the stage i can't even watch MWs pressers now as they make me feel uncomfortable. its the same ild ramblings constantly.

05 Feb 2017 02:54:34
I have to assume that Windass was dropped from the bench to accommodate Halliday. Great shame if that was the case since Windass has been decent when he has come on as a substitute.

05 Feb 2017 04:23:31
Between now and end of season if all goes well can see it. Frank in charge with Ronald as assistant and Barry as first team coach. A lot of circumstances between now and May will dictate this but this is based upon a best possible scenario.

05 Feb 2017 09:28:16
Bears. What do you think would be a decent amount of Transfer Money handed over to Warbs OR as I'm slowly starting to think DeBoer come the Summer. Honest opinions Bears how much will King etc hand over? My guess is anything between 4-7m! being really optimistic on the latter but I think King held back in Jan as I feel he's lost faith in Warbs AND if he is going to bring in someone who has something about them experience etc then before taking job they will want assurances of a Transfer Fund and if its someone like DeBoer I personally can't see him coming unless 5-6m is garunteed. Money may be the only reason Warbs stays IF we are that hard up but got a feelin King etc have the means and or a future investor is being lined up. Not in La La Land Bears really do think and feel this is going to happen!

05 Feb 2017 11:39:31
I could well end up with egg on my face but, I think our gaffer is losing the dressing room. I said it after the hearts game that we will struggle for second place. We are 9 games away from the split and in 3rd, on goal difference. Aberdeens good well better than ours with a game in hand. 24 games in and a long way to go.

04 Feb 2017 22:01:16
i honestly don't know what to think about mw tactics or team selection but i also don't think its time for knee jerk reactions he should be guven to end of season giving any new man a chance to bet his own team.

04 Feb 2017 23:38:39
Largebill, i have stood by our manager mark warburton on these pages, as anyone on here will know, all along. Here's the thing, he MUST change the formation of our team from time to time, in order to turn games in our favour! He's far too set on his 4-3-3 ways and its every chance it will cost him his job!

He must see during a game, why its not working and be able to tweek the formation in order to get the favourable result for us! All good managers can do this! I'll ask you all on here tonight. Will mark warburton see the season out as rangers manager?

Now i'm a worried bear that we may not get 2nd or even worse get pipped for 3rd! Do our board with this fear very much in evidence now, stick with warbs until the end of the season, or twist to get a fresh input from another manager, to push us to achieve 2nd place? Over to you glasgow rangers board of directors! Big decision has to be made! quickly!

05 Feb 2017 18:19:10
As you know coop ivy backed him also, but I can't do that anymore, he just can't or won't change, even his subs are so predictable and like for like, he must go after this season, he's just not good enough, btw it's not easy to admit being wrong, but how wrong was I lol

04 Feb 2017 21:20:13
Kiernan and halliday were shocking today why are they not dropped? Warburton has a lot to answer for. oh wait, halliday and kiernan weren't playing, so who's to blame now?

04 Feb 2017 21:44:44
Warburton and king 50/50 just like before the game.

04 Feb 2017 21:51:50
The team played better without both of them. Senderos had a decent game, plenty of chances were made but we failed to convert them. First half we were poor which i'd down to poor team motivation and a lack of respect for the jersey, (which is disappointing and raises questions about Weir yet again) .

We are still in need of some quality but with the right management team these players would improve.

04 Feb 2017 22:04:00
We need a goalscorer to convert the chances and in my opinion Garner is not the answer but our options are limited.

04 Feb 2017 22:15:39
warbs has to carry the can. yes he made right call dropping kiernan and halliday but he brought both in and between them have played almost all our games last 18months hence our defensive frailties

unfortunately a bigger issue is our lack of goals - makay plays week in week out as part of a front 3 but his goals per game is poor. as for garner he just does not look like a striker with any sort of instinct in front of goal to me and he will struggle even to get goals close to dble figures in an entire season and for a rangers striker that is nowhere near good enough

dodoo has shown he can finnish and is quick and isn't injured so why isn't he getting a game?

04 Feb 2017 22:35:51
The manager. Even in leaving halliday out he drops windass from squad altogether to get his wee pet hslliday a strip. Windass shows flashes of ability and promise every time he's on park but doesn't get a chance. Dodoo doesn't get a chance. Crooks didn't get a chance. Hodson hardly gets a chance. Great signing policy

04 Feb 2017 23:19:07
Bigblue Ayr

Windass has shown rare flashes of ability and quite a few times doesn't look that interested. Not sure he really fancies it up here and wouldn't be surprised if he goes in the summer

04 Feb 2017 23:25:15
They got dropped for their poor performances. Unfortunately we don't have the talent to replace them. These are his players, he's out his depth, he doesn't deserve anymore time in the dug out.

What do players need to do to get a chance in the team. The manager and players are to blame, this is rangers not some pub team. His tactics are poor, interviews are nothing but nonsense, his substitutions are ridiculous. He needs to go, we need men who know what rangers are all about.

04 Feb 2017 23:38:59
Clint Hill and miller both absolutely shocking.

05 Feb 2017 12:49:35
Stewie, I do agree. But would you not be the same if you were watching the guff we have on the park while sitting on bench or getting 5 mins here and there, if it's 4-3-3 windass should be right of front 3 anyway he looks more an attacker than mf to me.

04 Feb 2017 19:43:15
Disappointed to see Hyndman in the defensive role. I thought that was a big mistake given his creative abilities in and around the box and his willingness to shoot. Surely somebody else would be better suited to the DM role.

04 Feb 2017 20:26:59
Maybe in the absence of a suitable replacement it wasn't the day to leave out Halliday.

04 Feb 2017 20:51:56
Halliday isn't capable in that role either. As demonstrated on several occasions.

04 Feb 2017 21:04:47
Play Danny Wilson dm drop holt and push hydman into his natural position

04 Feb 2017 20:51:56
Halliday isn't capable in that role either. As demonstrated on several occasions.

04 Feb 2017 21:27:18
I thought Toral would have been better in that DM role. He's a tidy footballer who I think would have broken up play and fed the pacier players like McKay, Holt and Hyndman.

Up front I was disappointed Waghorn didn't start. I thought he made a big difference when he came on. Sorry but I don't rate Garner at all. He will never be a goalscorer. Massive, massive mistake in signing him.

Some posters have suggested that we are playing the wrong formation for him. I don't think it would make one bit of difference if he played in a front two. He just hasn't got it. The way Schalk finished for County's goal - I don't think Joe could have done the same

04 Feb 2017 21:36:22
We really miss Dom ball in that position. There just seems to be no confidence I no Wallace scored today but he seems to play the ball back a lot and his throw ins are terrible.

Does anyone know how long rossiter is out for?

04 Feb 2017 21:47:33
Wallace was shocking today. Looked very slow and disinterested. He cost us the opener.

04 Feb 2017 22:04:43
By playing Hyndman in that defensive role we lost out on his attacking presence and perhaps Toral would be a better fit although that said both of them are far better than Halliday. I would rather see Windass on the bench than Halliday, he is not an impact player whereas Windass has something to offer coming off the bench.

04 Feb 2017 22:10:37
Toral and Hyndman are both attacking midfield players and I am sure Arsenal and Bournemouth managers wouldn't be happy if Warburton played them out of position.
Basically we have no one to play the DM role apart from Halliday who is also an attacking midfielder.
Maybe Warbs should try Bates in the DM role or play 4-4-2.

04 Feb 2017 22:13:48
Wallace has been with us through all the divisions which is a credit to him but who do u suggest we play at LB?

04 Feb 2017 23:40:07
Clint Hill cost us the opener, yet again.

05 Feb 2017 09:32:28
What about Wallace going to DM and Hodson going to LB or vice versa? Thought Bears?

05 Feb 2017 12:45:35
You know that might be a good shout Andy. Wallace is a good footballer and still mobile enough

04 Feb 2017 19:47:42
Well, well, well. what a shocking display and I genuinely thought the lads would come out firing on all cylinders after Wednesdays result. We are just so easy to play against it's unreal.

I believe the bulk of the problem is tactical. If you have poor players then you don't ask them to play outwith their capabilities, something Warburton has been implementing massively. In the Championship we saw a few times where our tactics were completely rendered useless by teams catching on to our inability to switch game strategies. The victory against Celtic completely blinded us against the glaring problems that needed to be addressed before we jumped into the SPL.

The decision making in this team is embarrassing, almost non-existant. Today we had Wes trying to skin a striker who'd already scored, Wallace as per usual sits too far up the park and was taken out of the game by a simple over the top ball from which they scored and Hill actually turned around and had a go at Wallace who just shook his head and walked off, this behavior from the club captain! A captain who offers no leadership on the park whatsoever. Hyndman is one of the best if not the best player at the club and he's sitting in front of the defence today rather than behind the striker where he is more effective and this would also fill the blank space in front of our centre mids stopping Garner and Miller coming into midfield in search for the ball. I was also disappointed in McKay today, more often than not he ends up at left back because he spends his time waiting for Lee Wallace to run in behind him. Why hasn't Warburton instructed him to run at players, get crosses in and get in behind the defence? instead we have our left back in scoring positions.

Warburton has spent almost £3m which is far more than any other team except Celtic so clearly money isn't the main problem, Cathro at Hearts hasn't a massive budget and he brought in 7 new players who gelled quickly to thump us 4-1! They've now scored 7 goals in their last 2 matches and I fear that they will beat us to second place while Aberdeen secure 3rd. We have a 20+ goal striker sitting on the bench and when he gets game time he's deployed on the wings.

04 Feb 2017 20:20:31
Who is the 20 goal striker on the bench?

04 Feb 2017 20:58:19
Unfortunately many fans seem to think we have "waste" more money to match Celtic rather than seek value for money like Hearts

04 Feb 2017 20:58:19

04 Feb 2017 22:08:22
Very good points Rossiter. I reckon that the majority of the fans are in agreement that Wallace is not captain material but I am not sure that Warburton has the leadership qualities needed either and David Weir isn't showing the same skills on the touchline as he did on the park.

Altogether, very disappointing.

05 Feb 2017 09:42:37
Agree thought we would have played against County with fire in our belly BUT the FORMATION is working against US! we do have good players but if we don't score eArly OR get one against US the lads are not confident in playing together in that system! Can u imagine the wee private chats the guys are having AND they will be! This in itself will breed negativity and Warbs should be able to see this even if no player is actually asking to see him to discuss the players concerns WALLACE should be doing this! Sure he god do it in the right manner but not 100% sure he is but it doesn't have to be the Captain its that obvious that u would think Miller Hill god dam Weir! Don't think my support for Warbs is as strong as was!

04 Feb 2017 19:16:36
4-3-3 doesn't work for us simple every team knows that's what we are about. Fair play to manager for making needed changes today but system also needs changed. Garner needs a poacher next to him. 4-4-2 would be the way to go in my opinion

04 Feb 2017 19:30:34
Fair play to the manager? You are joking? 3 attempts to beat the mighty Ross County and 3 failures yeah credit to the manager

04 Feb 2017 19:40:11
He dropped players that needed dropped. But it is not anywhere near good enough that why I said 433 don't work

04 Feb 2017 22:09:50
He only dropped Kiernan since by deploying Halliday on the bench we had one less sub that could come on to change the game. Windass would have been a more logical backup player.

04 Feb 2017 18:05:07
That's a poor result, it's going to be a slog in the run in! MW is not good enough, he's out of his depth and his comments after games are disgraceful, he gets very defensive and he speaks like a city trader, it's drivel. He's not what Gers need, however they say he won't walk away and King can't sack him. what a mess. They need a manager that can get results with those players, surely they're better than that!

04 Feb 2017 18:26:46
Fair assessment miko.

04 Feb 2017 18:38:55
Just back from the game shocking it's not enjoyable to watch you work all week looking forward to your football on a Sat but I can't remember the last time I walked out of Ibrox and thought "that was a great game " it's so boring our goal difference says it all 24 games +6 the system just does not work we need to get two up we need players in the box how often do we win the ball back high up the park and no one in the box so back it comes we go side ways backward any way but forward we never change shape during a game to counter the way an opposing team just like for like MW for me is to stubborn he must see that it's not working the transfers in has been baffling few have been a success but if I was Dave King my main worry would be that there was so many empty seats today these are season ticket holders who have paid up front but didn't bother to turn up they are sick of the displays so when renewal time comes are they going to be as willing to stump up again many won't over to you Mr Warburton but you jacket is on a shaky nail

04 Feb 2017 19:41:05
Miko

One of the best posts on here for a while. You've got the nail on the head by saying he can't take criticism. In fact I would go further and say I've never seen a manager go in a huff as much as him when he gets criticised. He is worse than a child and shouldn't be doing the job. The only thing that really amazes me is that some people still can't see it and keep making excuses for him

04 Feb 2017 20:07:09
His comment the other day was the best. He was going on about how celtic can field internationalist yet he has kept 2 guys who have played world cup/ euros on the bench for the 2 superstars he got from Wigan in tavenier and kiernan.

04 Feb 2017 21:08:07
thinkabout it, Rangers TV reported the crowd as being over 49,000 as we were looking at a half-empty stadium! It's like the Iraqi guy Comical Ali, 'there are no US tanks in Bagdhad' as they're passing by the window.

I think we must count all season ticket holders whether there or not, and all those who meant to go but coudn't make it and all those whose mammies wouldn't let them out.

04 Feb 2017 22:48:24
It will get worse think about it, I left at half time today couldn't watch any more of that crap, and a few more had the same idea I counted prob 50 people on way out same as me

04 Feb 2017 17:24:37
What is all this cr@p that we can't afford to to sack the management team? Says who?

I think we would all prefer not to spend money on sacking anybody but that's impossible now for me!

Unfortunately brothers and sisters we are in a bad place. If we take on a new management just look at what they have to work with:

One of the worst teams in our history.

Finishing second with Warburton is not something to be happy with. We are accepting mediocrity, that can not happen.

04 Feb 2017 18:19:50
That's if we get 2nd.

04 Feb 2017 19:01:09
I honestly don't think the players are that bad! Every player can have a few bad games I firmly believe the formation and the coaching is the problem. The favouritism shown towards players that under perform every week is shocking! The lack of giving some younger guys a chance is also worrying. We have 3 or 4 young guys on the fringes that are getting overlooked for the same dross every week.
Kiernan, Tav and Halliday should have been dropped weeks ago and replaced with young fresh energetic legs.

We don't score goals and we're not solid at the back. It's a lottery which Rangers are going to turn up and in my opinion that comes from the management team not being assertive enough. Wether that come from lack of scouting opposition or stubbornness to change I don't know but thinks need to change.

I'm getting fed up spending my Saturdays watching junk. I'd be better going to watch a junior team, at least they battle for each other

Mr King has some pressing decisions to make otherwise Ibrox will get more empty by the week

04 Feb 2017 18:15:03
As per the latest accounts we will need more soft loans in march. This assumed January sales and did not anticipate having to pay off Barton. Pretty clear we cannot afford to pay off MW.

04 Feb 2017 17:11:13
For those of you clinging to second place

Aberdeen have overtaken plus they still gave game in hand.

Think management will be satisfied with "top 6 finish" given we have just come up!

04 Feb 2017 19:44:38
Ranger

I would also throw into that they have already had their 3rd beating in the league from Celtic. We still have that to come

04 Feb 2017 17:35:30
I still like Warburton and really want to see him turn this around but I thrill the fact that he didn't address our stinking defence will possibly end up costing him his job

I'm really not sure who the best man is to come in
It's a sad fact that not many teams fear coming to play us anymore
Opponents can plan for weeks in advance if they want as they know how we are going to play
He says plan B is to play Plan A better - The problem is we don't have the players to play plan A

Very very frustrating.

04 Feb 2017 18:21:17
Fraser 52: I think the problem is he didn't address the centre forward position.

04 Feb 2017 18:48:02
Can't really disagree with you Joscro when it comes to our CF position
I really thought Garner was going to be a great signing but he's just not doing it
I wonder if we might get more out of him in a different system

04 Feb 2017 19:48:09
Dodoo not on at all today, I would have thought at Ibrox against this team his running power and trickery would have caused problems, don't get Warbs sometimes.

04 Feb 2017 16:59:26
We were fighting for 2nd spot in the Premiership, we'd be lucky to get 3rd spot. Being brutally honest, we don't deserve 2nd place playing as we do under MARK WARBURTON. Hearts may well achieve 3rd place. Can't see Warburton as manager next season.

04 Feb 2017 17:08:22
this season looks like that championship season 3rd to hearts and hibs, downward spiral

04 Feb 2017 18:13:53
If he had any integrity as a man he would walk away now.

04 Feb 2017 16:57:57
Totally toothless in attack, £1.8million spent on a donkey whilst our centre halves have a combined age of about 70. Poor result again and if Morton win next week (which isn't as unlikely as it should be), then Warburton must fall on his sword.

04 Feb 2017 17:00:49
Garner is a 4-4-2 striker, he can't play this way, it was ridiculous to try an change him into something he naturally is not

04 Feb 2017 17:42:25
Bang on gram! Garner needs a nippy player playing off him! Too many square peg round holes right through team

04 Feb 2017 17:02:39
He shouldn't he given the chance to be our manager next week. Taxi for Mr W tonight and start rebuilding for next season now. Utter shambles.

04 Feb 2017 17:09:26
£1.8million should buy a striker capable of scoring sitters against bottom six teams no matter what system he plays.

04 Feb 2017 17:15:02
Well he must be a bit of a waste of money then isn't he! He has more yellow cards than goals lol too funny!

04 Feb 2017 18:06:41
Spot on gram he's never played up top himself

04 Feb 2017 18:15:01
4-4-2 striker? He's no kind of striker.

04 Feb 2017 18:24:36
This is why preston sold him they changed to 1 up front and he is not suitable for that role he needs a partner certainly not worth what we paid for him tho could have got better value elsewhere

04 Feb 2017 16:57:09
We're more likely to finish 4th than 2nd. Are the resident MW fanboys happy with this?

04 Feb 2017 16:31:45
At last our captain claims an equaliser!

04 Feb 2017 16:47:57
Scores and equaliser surely?

04 Feb 2017 15:01:05
Happy to see senderos starting along side hill I think if he gets a run in the team he will be a good player for us. Kiernen has been terrible glad to see him out as he finally be droped or is he just banned for today?

04 Feb 2017 16:03:54
Let's see if Senderos plays any better than Keirnan before offering him a run in the team

04 Feb 2017 18:16:16
He did. But that's not a difficult target.

04 Feb 2017 14:13:34
Was just watching replays and must say what a player sone aluko was for the teddy bears.

04 Feb 2017 14:15:16
Didn't think anything could get me excited for this game after last week. But seeing changes like this has! No kiernan, Halliday on the bench. Should have happened a long time ago but finally some common sense.

04 Feb 2017 14:19:33
Kiernan should never wear a Rangers jersey again

04 Feb 2017 14:22:28
What's the bet Halliday comes on the hour mark?

04 Feb 2017 14:23:11
Still with tavernier. Unbelievable.

04 Feb 2017 14:25:29
Halliday is the golden child, but if he comes on at the 60 minute mark it means we will at least have 11 decent players on the park for an hour 😂

04 Feb 2017 14:35:14
Is Windass injured or has he been sacrificed to make room on the bench for Halliday? What does Hodson need to do to get a game? Wouldn't Wilson be a better option than Senderdross? Why is Holt playing? Is it true that Rossiter is now just 7-10 days away? When will he get Burt involved? Will Dodoo ever start? Just saw the team and these wee things popped into my mind.

04 Feb 2017 15:24:13
Halliday should have been in the stand and Windass should at the very least have been on the bench. Halliday brings nothing to the team whereas Windass can make a difference.

04 Feb 2017 13:11:12
Our next manager doesn't need to be some global superstar. All we need is a manager who'll look at our squad, recognise our strengths and weaknesses and set up the team to play to our strengths. Something MW appears too stubborn to do.

04 Feb 2017 13:53:46
Sorry can't agree, won't agree, it's time to stop scraping the bottom of the barrel, all that gets you is sludge, muck and cr@p!

04 Feb 2017 10:25:22
Come-on all those so called Rangers fans, let's just remember which team got promotion from the championship last year, Did you really think we were going to win the SPL in our first year back at the top.

04 Feb 2017 10:37:19
Just remember Warburton has had the 2nd biggest budget in Scotland for the last 2 seasons. He has 4 times that of Aberdeen and Hearts and if you look at what Celtic have actually spent this year it isn't that much bigger certainly not 4 times bigger. Just remember he continually picks Kiernan, Tavernier and Halliday when they are clearly not good enough. Just remember we have only scored 31 goals while teams like Kilmarnock can pick a guy up for free then sell him for £800k. Just remember have a manager who thinks it's more important to please the Bournemouth manager than it is to please the supports of the club and just remember Warburton will never win the league

04 Feb 2017 10:43:53
Yes people did believe you would win the league. Warburton at start of season saying this club don't talk about 2nd. He totally underestimated the premiership.

04 Feb 2017 10:52:16
I think we all knew deep down we would struggle this season. We'll be stronger next season, back in Europe and putting up a better challenge. So let's back the manager and the team an make sure we get second place. I will be there today cheering on whoever wares the blue jersey.

04 Feb 2017 11:42:05
KPBLUE, you need to remember if we qualify for european football there are 4 qualifying rounds to get the league stages. Do you honestly believe we can get past the qualifying rounds with the squad we have at Ibrox.

04 Feb 2017 12:13:45
Scotman, as I said in my post we'll strengthen in the summer window

04 Feb 2017 13:28:04
Looking at the squad Lance, at the start of the season it seemed plausible. Nobody knew how badly things would go wrong with Barton and Niko let alone other injuries like Rossiter, Crooks, Windass. Or how dramatically Celtic would improve compared to last year. Hindsight is a great thing.

04 Feb 2017 12:53:26
Were not so called fans bigb we've kept this club afloat last few years and we deserve better! None of them know what it means to wear that jersey there's no pride they should be running through brick walls for this club regardless of ability they should at least try! Too many just accept second best.

04 Feb 2017 08:43:07
Whoever the new manager is he must

1) know who Glasgow Rangers are (unlike current management team who are accepting of current performances if not Wednesday's)

2) stop Celtic ten in a row

3) Fire in his belly

We have turn clock back and get a manager in the "mould" of Jock Wallace who stopped Celtic in the Seventies for us.

Is there anyone out there other than Billy Davies?

04 Feb 2017 09:34:28
Billy Davies would be a far better manager than Warburton. He has played for the club and manager at a higher level than Warburton. He also would never have insulted the Rangers fans by saying he took of Hyndman in the interests of his parent club. This team are a joke and the manager is a clown.

04 Feb 2017 12:52:41
The only clown is you stewie. How could you possible think the gambling addict Davies is a proper fit for rangers the guy is a total knob and won nothing in management except several pay outs due to being sacked.

04 Feb 2017 12:30:15
Billy Davies absolutely not the answer. At some point I would like to see Barry Ferguson as manager although maybe need support of a Director of football if given the job too early .
Winning anyway we can and being hard to beat / breakdown has to come before slick football. Strong fit players who can play their position, show honest passion and a winning mentality will get results. Even the other mob set up like that during O'Neil era . We will get there as a Club, we have gone through too much over recent years to accept mediocre. We deserve more and if doesn't work -change it till it does!

04 Feb 2017 12:51:26
Would you take Souness?

04 Feb 2017 14:56:55
Davies will never, and should never, be Rangers manager. Check him out, he has severe personal problems, has no integrity whatsoever and would be the biggest mistake we ever made. I'd certainly keep Warburton if it was a choice between the two, but there are many more suitable candidates out there.

04 Feb 2017 07:06:48
Why not play the lad bates in beside hill? Will give him valuable experience. I mean he is 20 yr old, not a wee boy anymore and if we signed him we must think he's good enough? Surely we don't throw him in the reserves for years and forget all about him? He can't be any worse than big kiernan. Same applies to dodoo. Play him in front of waghorn. Watching waghorn on the right wing is a defenders dream. You know he's cutting it onto his left peg 99 per cent of the time and when he goes on the outside he doesn't have the pace to go by the defender. He's not good enough.

04 Feb 2017 08:44:58
Hill is absolutely crap do people not watch him? Too busy blaming kiernan? Him and kiernan should both never play again absolutely woeful.

04 Feb 2017 09:29:19
are you sure hills been one of our most reliable players this season after a slow start

04 Feb 2017 12:53:59
He had one or two descent games. He's the main problem at the back kiernan has to constantly watch out for balls over as hill can't catch the cold.

04 Feb 2017 12:37:03
agreed djab must be time to give the lad bates a run over kiernan we wldnt have signed him if he didn't have something and at 20 he's not exactly a young pup since the lad oxford was 18 and everyone was shouting for him to be signed

my only fear is warbs won't drop kiernan or halliday or tav which ironically contradicts what he says almost every week. we must learn

same players same mistakes same tactics and formations so same results - are we really learning?

the definition of madness is diingbthe same thing over and over yet expecting different results

this couldn't be more apt for our manager i'm
afraid bears
