The goals just keep coming and I'm really looking forward to Sunday's game. We are going into this game better placed and with some momentum. I fancy us for a win. wee question though. If you had to pick one, what would you take the win from, this coming league game or the Scottish semi?



04 Mar 2018 22:31:34
Semi final I would pick mate



05 Mar 2018 06:10:10
3 league points for me! . I think Celtic boardroom will be genuinely pooing their pants and they’ll feel annoyed the gap has got shorter.

There may not be a better chance to win the league before 10 in a row.

Celtic May spend big in the summer in order to convince BR to stay and not take a High profile PL job (eg, if Wenger leaves or Poch goes to Madrid or Jose is sacked) . Just look at their response after us playing them off the park at Hamden.

So 3 league points please . THE TIME IS NOW!



05 Mar 2018 07:55:21
Rodgers is not going to a big bpl team. He can Dream on. Those clubs will never consider him managing in spl.



05 Mar 2018 08:35:25
If Rodgers goes to Arsenal😂😂😂😂 imagine the reaction of that on Arsenal Fan TV🤣



05 Mar 2018 08:51:21
Arsenal will want a bigger name than Rodgers. That team needs completely rebuilt and will look for someone with a proven track record at the highest level



05 Mar 2018 14:26:52
I know what you’re saying and I take all your points but Rodgers is still PL Caliber of manager. if not a top 4 team then any team below that would consider him. I was going off things I’ve read. didn’t mean to make it sound like he would definitely end up there!

Anyway, you’re missing my point boys and girls, point is Celtic boardroom reacted when we beat them in the cup. and whether we win the league or get any closer they will
Spend to move away from us. I believe it’s there for the taking THIS year . and I hope every player and fan believes it as much as I do!



04 Mar 2018 21:19:04
Almost as many at ibrox today as was at the other 3 quarters. What does say about the fans at other clubs?
Thoughtz guys.



04 Mar 2018 20:35:24
Massive headache for murty next week because I thought Cummings was excellent today! I personally think Cummings is a better finisher than Morelos but Morelos has been superb for us this season a scored a lot of goals and has improved as the season has went on.



04 Mar 2018 21:39:38
I tend to agree with you JGG1! I also think jason cummings is a better finisher than alfredo morelos, a more natural goalscorer if you like! Fredo is stronger than cummings and probably better at playing central himself! cummings is an out and out goalscorer! I also agree that morelos has been superb for us this season! I would honestly think that cummings would score more goals than morelos if they played the same amount of games! I still think though that morelos will start in the old firm game, with cummings starting on the bench!



04 Mar 2018 21:46:59
Morelos is a better player for the team than Cummings his work rate is great the way he lays the ball off with his back to goal bringing the midfield players forward is great top goal scorer



04 Mar 2018 23:02:39
Totally agree with yous and if Murphy isn’t fit I would go with Cummings and Morelos upfront and go for it why not



04 Mar 2018 19:20:22
Start cummings he will score, how many times has he done it againest us, he's a big game player.
Cmon bears bet him for 1st goal its going to happen. jc first goal 3.2 gers.



04 Mar 2018 19:52:14
If Murphy is fit should start ahead of Cummings with Morelas up front. Martin should return at expense of Bruno. Big call at left back but need an experienced defender so if fit John should return at expense of Halliday.



04 Mar 2018 20:09:39
Cummings was born for this fixture, much like Griffiths was to be fair, but it all hinges on Murphys fitness for me, Morelos does so much work for everyone else whilst carrying the goal threat himself that he is a 100% starter!



04 Mar 2018 21:12:37
Kellie, I hope your right, but I wouldn't class Falkirk as a 'big game' . He scored against opposition and at a level he has scored before.
If he plays next week, this could be a huge game for him and Rangers.
Keep believing



04 Mar 2018 21:50:40
Alves was good today by far has the best distribution of are defenders No way would I take him back out for Martin



05 Mar 2018 10:45:07
Alves is too slow and gives away silly freekicks in dangerous areas. Would prefer Martin for the old firm.



04 Mar 2018 19:12:01
Well a good result today and one which was very much expected. Hopefully the intensity levels can be cranked up a whole lot as we will need to be outstanding next week. I have a feeling Jimmy Nicholl will be in the ear of a few this week! Man for man there will be individual battles to be won and we must take our chances when presented but my main hope is that we play at our best and leave nothing on the park, just go for it!



04 Mar 2018 19:10:20
Josh windass hands down our most dangerous player at the minute drive power pace always looks dangerous boys came on leaps and bounds



04 Mar 2018 19:01:38
100x better from Cummings today. he's getting into spaces he needs to to score goals. Showed a lot of confidence and was good under pressure. Well done on your first hatrick mate.



04 Mar 2018 19:19:30
We’re playing well defending bit dodgy at times . let’s hooe they can step up and give a good account of ourselves against them . they don’t think we’re near them we shouldn’t be on same pitch let’s hope we can shut them up next week



04 Mar 2018 20:30:22
I think Alves has to play next week. He is clasd with all the ecperience in the world. The guy strolled through the game. His passing and positional play were ecvellent. Also Halliday gets some stick on here but I think he was very good today. Assuming John doesn't make it and Murphy does I would go with Foderingham
Tavernier
Bates
Alves
Halliday
Goss
Docherty
Murphy
Candeias
Morelos
Windass
I'd have the likes of Miller, Cummings, Holt on the bench to freshen things up in the second half.
We are at home. Let's get right intake them. See what they are made of!



04 Mar 2018 18:34:19
cummings looked really good today obviously his hat trick but also his movement really sharp good problem to give to murty regards squad for the unwashed game next week.



04 Mar 2018 19:05:14
Also would like to say very impressed with young Bates again. Solid performance from him and he's growing as a player. Onwards



04 Mar 2018 19:54:35
Yes our young McLeish is developing well.



04 Mar 2018 18:33:14
Dam i thought the sfa would of fixed us to get the in form team glad we missed killie,



04 Mar 2018 18:28:41
Nice wee coupon up today with Rangers -2 goals. Pays for next Monday off. My section will be a bit louder on Sunday. Here we go!



04 Mar 2018 18:25:44
Good to see a nice win today. Morelos looked slack as if training almost. Hope he can up his game next weekend as there will be no room for passengers. Another win on the board.



04 Mar 2018 18:24:09
Solid performance I thought and got the job done. Well gone lads. Cummings was due a start and some goals. Onwards



04 Mar 2018 11:31:22
Does anyone else think we are sometimes playing a little too cautious with 2 defensive midfielders? Now I think Murty is doing an outstanding job but I think certainly against lesser teams we could play with just 1 sitting in front of the back four and use the spare player as a partner for Morelos? What's everyone's thoughts? Would make our formation 4-1-3-2 instead of 4-2-3-1.



04 Mar 2018 12:03:06
Naw it mean your 1 cdm would be over run as the 3 play further up the park than a conventional midfield I think!



04 Mar 2018 12:09:25
Totally understand your point but I think the continuity in the team helps the boys gel quickly and that has been the most Impressive think murty has achieved. getting the 11 playing very well in large spells together. If the same formation can beat Ayr and Celtic there’s no need to upset that harmony I reckon.



04 Mar 2018 12:13:26
Definitely Juanpacer but who drops out? Docherty or Goss?



04 Mar 2018 12:33:02
Windass is supporting morelos. The team is playing well so why change it? I fancy him to go 2 up top today because of who we are playing but Docherty and goes compliment each other so he ain't going to change that



04 Mar 2018 14:24:32
We have a front 4 morelos is spearhead and candieas Murphy and windass support its a very well balanced system, it's all going nicely changing to two up top would unbalance our whole side! Doc and Goss take turns to join in and also insurance when tav and john bomb on its the perfect system



04 Mar 2018 18:34:26
Both will def play next week, think if Jamie Murphy is fit it will only be one up front
still think it will be Morales with Cummings on bench, would be hard on Jason after today but just my thoughts .



04 Mar 2018 19:58:58
Agree, Murphy to return and Morelas to play up front. Although missed a few today his directness and physicality offers greater threat and creates space and chances for others. Cummings did great today and can make an impact off the bench next week. Would also like to see Dodoo on bench next week.



04 Mar 2018 10:14:57
Feels great to get upon a Sunday with a cup tie against a lower league team and actually be looking forward to it for once. Anyone feeling the same today? I’m going for 3-0 rangers. I think a clean sheet today is the most important part of a winning score line.



04 Mar 2018 10:29:54
4-1 with morelos and windass to score



04 Mar 2018 10:49:35
Don't care what the score is as long as it's a win and no one gets injured



04 Mar 2018 10:49:49
Would like to see a clean sheet. I'm going for 3-0



04 Mar 2018 11:19:15
A win will do for me. Think if we play the way we have could be a few. Get cummings starting. He needs game time.



04 Mar 2018 11:19:46
I’ll go 3-1, Tav, Cummings double!



04 Mar 2018 11:40:52
Huistra2. Totally agree. Was thinking the same myself, the first time I've not been nervous before a game for a long time, just looking forward to us destroying the opposition. I will accept 1-0 but expect 4-0.Teams may try to nullify Windass or Fredo so would like to see Candias or the Doc get on the score sheet. I said at the very start of the season to win the league the winner normally has a min of 85 goals. That means you need 2 players banging them in (windass/ fredo) and everyone else contributing to achieve that total. that's one of the most important changes that's keeping us near the top that we didn't have before. Unless the Falkirk keeper has grown another set of arms he will be cross eyed by the end of the game with the ball flying past him.



04 Mar 2018 11:52:19
Defo get Cummings 90 minutes today. he needs a run out. Let's see what he can do either upfront wi fredo or instead of. If they r paired together and do well gives GM another option next weekend. A good win today will set us up nicely. FIRB



04 Mar 2018 11:55:51
Cummings is big game player and needs to be considered for next week, especially if Murphy isn’t fit!



04 Mar 2018 12:16:03
Has to start cummings and let him have some game time. Hopefully get his confidence and match pace up before old firm. Would love him to score winner in old firm.



04 Mar 2018 15:45:36
Fancy 5-0 but any win and no injuries will do me.



04 Mar 2018 15:47:46
Got to expect a clean sheet today and a comfortable win.



04 Mar 2018 06:16:03
I know it's early days for Docherty but he already looks like he's going to be a top player for us. What do you think bears?



04 Mar 2018 08:21:36
The early signs are very encouraging



04 Mar 2018 08:25:37
He'll be a superb signing for us Bear471,i'm in total agreement with you mate! I said on here around a fortnight ago that i saw shades of our superb former captain, steven davis, in young greg docherty's style of midfield play! Now there's a lot of other sites drawing the same comparison! Greg docherty i firmly believe, will be a future glasgow rangers captain! He has everything, ie. power, pace, terrific passer, box to box with some engine, he can also tackle!



04 Mar 2018 10:22:45
While I agree that docherty is showing good early signs the last player you said about becoming captain was on a flight across the Atlantic 2 days later coops. I feel we need docherty starting next Sunday as he is one of the ones who could mix it up with them. We have imo a skill full midfield but need a hardy **** in there too



04 Mar 2018 11:14:49
Reminds me of Barry Ferguson. Bit of pace about him. Can carry the ball forward, good in a tackle, an eye for a pass. If he adds goals to his game he will become top class.



04 Mar 2018 11:21:40
Agree about doc but I'd play Holt instead in the game next week.



04 Mar 2018 15:48:14
Docherty has to play against celtic, he has the physical presence to win the midfield, holt doesn't.
