04 Mar 2020 23:35:57
Well what can we say about that the two worst teams in the league have done us. Where do we go from here? Sack the manager IMO no but we need huge improvement all over the park can he find these players who the fk knows.

05 Mar 2020 07:48:01
No, no just no. Let's give him another applause on the 8th minute.

04 Mar 2020 23:23:18
Whenever a team in Scotland pressure us or get in our face it seems to affect us too much. Start of the season, teams were standing off us we were scoring four or five. Now they smell blood and pressure us from the start. We aren't good enough domestically to deal with it.

Not my words folks, the words of our esteemed Captain James tavernier. Words fail me.

04 Mar 2020 23:59:46
If Tavernier said that, and knows he's not good enough, then he should do the right thing for Rangers and hand in the armband. He'd be more respected by doing so and maybe it would even help him to concentrate fully on his game. But of course, that's as long as it doesn't go to the present vice captain.

05 Mar 2020 00:24:24
Not beat a man with a cross in months. Atrocious. And his pal who is apparently our best defender. Accident waiting to happen all the time.

05 Mar 2020 00:39:19
Snell; I’ve just seen it I’m shocked I’m just home, that was beyond belief and with that statement coming from our so called captain now I see many of the reasons how can he be our captain our leader on the park, if he is leaving the dressing room thinking that we’ll god help us and he was one of the worst performers tonight he never got one cross in then when he picked up a knock he couldn’t get off the pitch fast enough he just hasn’t got it.

05 Mar 2020 00:52:44
The covenator, its a transfer him and goldson should be handing in, tav has never been anything other than a fit guy. that's all he ever had in his favour, imo.

05 Mar 2020 07:48:24
Ive not seen or heard the comments but that's a joke coming from our captain. It also shows that he hasn't a clue tactically either. Ok Hamilton were a bit more attacking than other teams have been recently against us but since the winter break anyone that has come to Ibrox has parked the bus. Not come at us like he says. Earlier in the season teams were more open and we could get in behind. he's explained the exact opposite of what we are seeing as fans.

05 Mar 2020 08:31:42
Not just to focus on him as there are other problems too but couldn't believe I read that. That's how he feels but cruises around Glasgow in a Lambo. Wage thief.

04 Mar 2020 22:57:42
I don't think we can afford to sack SG. I think the players need to take a lot of the blame also, any one of us should be able to pick a team and we should beatbteams like Hamilton.
I don't think SG will. resign until at least we are out of Europe.
People saying bring back Murphy mcrorie etc well if that's our level OK.
Now I am not saying I am happy with recent performances etc etc
My q is this, who do we bring in that won't want millions to spend ( we have no proof there are millions to spend) who realistically would be approach?
I think one of Gerrard's biggest mistakes from the off was he didn't have a proper rangers man or even someone with the knowledge of Scottish football on his staff.
Lets be honest Gerrard has given the players all they need to be beating teams like Hamilton etc they have clearly gave up and something has happened behind the scenes.

05 Mar 2020 08:16:40
Agree with much of what you say, but is Polster better than McCrorie? Is Kamara better than McCrorie in holding midfield? Is Barker, ojo, Jones, Stewart better than Murphy? Is Davis playing better than doc? The answer is NO and the issue is thousand are now being tied up in wages and we have NOT brought in better than we had.

Say what you want about Liewell but he knows how to run a football club and says what you want about that lot, but generally, when they make a signing, they have a circa 75% success rate, but we are the opposite, lucky if it’s 25%

Gerrard, Beale, MAC etc have thought they can be successful with ordinary players and they are being found out big time.

04 Mar 2020 22:53:52
What is the direction to go now?

1. Sack Gerrard and have temp management team e:g Murty, Lovenkrands and Thompson till end of season?

2. Gerrard stays till end of season. Because nothing much going to happen. Nothing to win ( Europa league😂? ), imagine we will still finish 2nd.

3. Get new manager in asap? Giovani van Bronkorst for example.

4. Ask for borad to make a statement about what is happening at the moment?

Anything else.

05 Mar 2020 01:10:17
Said on here weeks ago Murty Gough and Barry should make up the new management team.

05 Mar 2020 09:19:08
First thing tomorrow should be to take the captain’s armband from Tavernier and give it to Arfield or maybe even Jack. Drop Goldson, Davis and McGregor for Katic, Polster and Foderingham.

04 Mar 2020 22:48:00
Just back from Ibrox and witnessed an utterly pathetic and gutless from a spineless group of players who disgraced the jersey yet again. It pains me to say this but Gerard has lost the dressing room since the winter break and has to go. God only knows where we go from here. As for our so called Captain. Words can't describe how bad he is and was tonight.

04 Mar 2020 22:56:19
Surely after the last couple of months, the values of players must surely have dropped. Players like Tav, Morelos, Kent, Goldson.

04 Mar 2020 23:03:56
For me there is no come back for gerrard he has lost the dressing room clear for everyone to see this looks like more expense for club new mananger and new players yet again
Its getting beyond a joke now can't keep doing this.
Guess this can happen when we apoint a rookie manager we need experienced manager or at least someone who has managed to win something for me should be looking for experinced man or gio van bronchhorst should get the job
Time has come for gerrard to go he can not turn this around.

04 Mar 2020 22:26:30
Has there been a news conference yet for tonight's game?

05 Mar 2020 09:16:38
Just watched it on sky. Pathetic, gerrard doesn't look bothered, same old crap from his mouth and smirking when answering some questions. He ain't resigning so SACK him. Imposter.

04 Mar 2020 22:06:11
When do we say, enough is enough.

04 Mar 2020 22:15:57
I've already said it. Something huge needs to happen because we're in free fall.

04 Mar 2020 22:18:08
Now, go now!

04 Mar 2020 22:21:50
Can we afford to sack him and all his staff? And still have money to spend in summer?

04 Mar 2020 22:22:15
When its the year 2035 and your name on here is still going for 55 i'd say.

05 Mar 2020 09:08:47
About 3 weeks ago.

04 Mar 2020 22:16:50
We should have said it a few games ago.

04 Mar 2020 21:59:30
we could've put on 11 strikers and the score would've stayed the same recall McCrorie, murphy and Docherty for starters -and yes its time for a new captain.

04 Mar 2020 22:12:09
Time for a new manager but who is available and who would actually take it.

04 Mar 2020 22:21:41
I would like to see Giovani van Bronkhorst.

04 Mar 2020 22:35:38
Deecee u can’t recall anyone till end off season.

04 Mar 2020 22:43:42
you sure john?

05 Mar 2020 05:59:27
You can if there is a recall option in the loan deal which, unless you where involved in the loan deal in some form, you probably won't know if it has or hasn't.

05 Mar 2020 09:15:09
Gary Holt is working wonders at Livi. They looked great tonight, very well drilled. They are pushing for Europe with probably the league’s second smallest budget.

04 Mar 2020 21:58:13
I've always advocated Gerrard being given a 3rd season but this is now ridiculous. Something is badly wrong, we can't beat the bottom 2 teams in the league. Celtic grab an equaliser in stoppage time and we do f*** all. I'm afraid I now feel that Gerrard must go. Never thought I'd say that. Total disaster since new year. Annoying thing is Celtic are very ordinary.

04 Mar 2020 22:07:32
I like SG, but this team won't play for him anymore, it's clear to see they have gave up on him . Dilemma, sell the majority of the team and rebuild or get another manager to take over . I would get rid of them all, players are the imposters and SG is out his depth .

04 Mar 2020 22:09:41
Look back to theswagmans posts DOIGER, what did he say, and some of us mocked him.

05 Mar 2020 09:04:14
There ordinary what does that make us?

04 Mar 2020 21:55:09
What have I just watched sg is not fettin a response from these players at all after thr last 4 days I was expecting a massive improvement. Its serious time Gérrsrd leaving but who comes in Gerrard stays how does he improve this am at a loss guys. Don't know what the answer is knee jerk reaction not needed the board need to think long and hard about this before a decision is made.

04 Mar 2020 21:50:33
One mistake and they score when your lucks out it's out.
The so called great Rangers fans booing the Team is not helpful, everyone knows its frustrating as hell, but booing and abusing players is not going to make them try harder, or put the ball in the net, the league was over a month ago, the best we can do is finish as close as possible and go as far as possible in Europe, we need to stick together.

04 Mar 2020 21:54:59
Nope
Fans see it for what it is, players not prepared to turn up never mind battle for the club, manager no clue what to do. Time for change.

04 Mar 2020 21:55:41
The way the teams in free fall we’ll be lucky to stay in the top 3
We pay good money to support a football team and the options to vent frustration is vocal or absence. I know quite a few who are now considering the latter.

04 Mar 2020 21:55:57
What do you expect really? Esp with them dropping points. Aslong as tav and goldson in side contantly costing us we have zero chance of any silverware. They are both absolutely shockin. I have said this about Tav week in week out since championship and aboit goldson since he start having horror shows last season. If gerrard doesn't walk he must drop tav strip captaincy off him and start polster. getting ridiculous now. Were basically going to need new back 4 come summer.

04 Mar 2020 21:56:15
100% correct this is when the team need the support of the fans to help them get through this.

04 Mar 2020 21:57:46
Get a grip. Luck, luck? We haven’t kicked a ball since Xmas. Gerrard can disappear back to Liverpool and leave us with this dross he has signed?

By the way yes the players are a disgrace.

04 Mar 2020 21:58:17
We pay bloody good money and that's what we get! We've every right to boo these sub standard performances.
Its just a complete and utter disgrace.

04 Mar 2020 22:01:04
ONE MISTAKE,

You must be joking mjg every one of our players were a mistake.

04 Mar 2020 22:01:09
Mate are you having a laugh. If we don’t perform at work like that I don’t get booed I get my arse kicked. I don’t earn what they earn. No one pays to watch me work. So it’s crap to watch and they need to know. To many bottlers, time to remove.

04 Mar 2020 22:02:25
The so called rangers fans pay these players wages. They don't perform, what do you expect? They get 20k a week. Hamilton get about 1k. If they're lucky. I'm looking now and our players seem to see us as a bigger platform. They'll catapult themselves to van Dijks stature. Come back to earth. They've won nothing. They're not bigger than our club. ours at the mo are losers. Stevie g has the attitude but not the boss attitude. He has to ask alexf or legend Walter s for advice. The players think they're better thAn they are.1week of WS training would change their tune.

04 Mar 2020 22:04:40
Mjg1067 - you say we need to finish as close as possible. What I really think we need to do is watch Motherwell. Yes, they're 19 points behind, but we're not having just "a few bad results" as some fans say, we are in free fall and a manager who doesn't know how to stop it. We are not coming out of this form this season, we will struggle along until the end of the season.

04 Mar 2020 22:08:23
True the team needs support but what are fans getting in return half hearted efforts like tonight a trophy less season again these guys still pick up a wage everyweek unlike fans who spend money to watch that it works both ways the players have to earn support not just expect it no matter how they perform.

04 Mar 2020 22:20:26
spot on do you think this is a player/ manager problem or is their something bigger going on behind the scenes.

05 Mar 2020 00:33:27
Every right to boo that. Shocking performance.

05 Mar 2020 09:02:13
Eh? Goldson is a total bomb scare - culpable for goals against Hearts, Sheep, Killie, Celtic, Hamilton this season alone. That’s fourteen out of fifteen points lost through him. Still undroppable though.

05 Mar 2020 09:03:40
No what we actually need is Gerrard to get as far away from our club as possible and never come back.

04 Mar 2020 21:45:11
Pressed send too quick. Everyone looks like they are running in mud. So slow to every ball. Everyone we have played of late looks sharper and fitter. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was the straw that broke the camels back and Gerrard has had enough. Looking at that from his point of view tonight I would be thinking that the players aren't pulling in the same direction as him. I believe he desperately wants to succeed, if not for us at least for his own reputation. If he stays I hope he now gives the academy boys a chance to shine. Saying they aren't ready or good enough doeant wash with me either. Billy gilmour proved last night that age, size etc means SFA.

04 Mar 2020 21:42:39
We must be properly s#@t Celtic dropped points tonight but opened the gap even bigger wtf.

04 Mar 2020 21:52:39
The club is dying on its feet here. It’s toxic, captain fannytastic can spout as much bs as he can but the team is not together. Love to be a fly in the dressing room and see the reaction - probably quiet as a library.

04 Mar 2020 22:07:24
Your probably right no one wants to win games and show any kind of fight and the possession game we play isn't working no directness about us easily read and now easily beat.

04 Mar 2020 21:41:26
Right so 4 changes tonight and not one blind bit of difference. Something that didn't change was the Same useless tactics that's not been working in the domestic scene as of late. Either the players aren't playing for the manager or for some reason, he won't change the system for reasons beyond me. Get the youth players in because this lot are embarrassing themselves just now. Everyone looks like they are running in mud as well.

04 Mar 2020 21:54:52
Groundhog Day again.

04 Mar 2020 21:40:20
Well SGL are you still sticking up for the players and Gerrard? And stating " in Gerrard we trust " The boos coming from Ibrox says it all. Gerrard must go and soon!

04 Mar 2020 22:04:26
Think the boos are aimed at the players more than gerrard. Although tactics are utter useless as well.

04 Mar 2020 22:55:36
I was in broomloan rear and the boos there were directed at Kamara, Goldson and tav.

04 Mar 2020 21:30:10
Now before people start - can I just remind everyone that, according to certain people on here we cannot criticise our manager in anyway.

04 Mar 2020 21:33:01
Did the manager make a backside of clearing the ball?

04 Mar 2020 21:43:35
No, but he's in charge of the fella that did. And the ones that missed the sitters
Only so many times any manager can fail to get a tune out of a team.

04 Mar 2020 21:44:18
No but he bought goldson and keeps picking him.

04 Mar 2020 21:49:02
The things is though, drawing 0-0 with hamilton at home is about as low as it gets. So even if Goldson didn't make an arse of it it would still be an absolutely horrendous performace.

04 Mar 2020 21:44:50
No but the manager picks him week in week out. He is guilty.

04 Mar 2020 21:52:37
No, but he bought the guy that did and yet keeps picking him irrespective of how many mistakes he makes. Anyone still saying "in Gerard we trust" etc etc.

04 Mar 2020 20:50:35
Said weeks ago that we should have signed Dykes over Kamberi - that twice he has ripped Julien a new one!

Too late now he will likely go to England.

04 Mar 2020 20:23:55
Something being annoying me recently,

A lot of folk on here saying don't slag players when there there not playing well I, e in the league And support the team
Which most folk do when there playing well and they absolutely deserve the praise for the European nights but also absolutely deserve the criticism when we're playing cup and league games since start of 2020

My gripe is, same folk coming on saying support the team are the same ones who don't want Jones given a proper run in the team and given a chance, he's never had a proper chance a proper run 5 - 6 games to see if he can play
Proper management and encouragement may all that was needed and that will never happen plane too see

Same as young docherty he's playing in same league and playing very well, never got a proper run even when he did play he actually played ok way better than Kamarra
Yet Kamarra still playing even though he's been dire for weeks now in all competitions

Jordan Jones is still a rangers player and so is Murphy and docherty all being there on loan
Be nice to see same support for these players along with the players who are playing absolute dribble week in week out

And only lift there game in Europe for reasons unknown apart from our own opinions we don't know why they do it

Please stop coming on and slagging JJ
And even docherty saying there not Rangers class but support the dribble we have been watching for weeks now

These guys deserve there chance just as much as the rest
Do they not?

04 Mar 2020 20:37:29
Agree that they deserve criticism when it's due, just the same as they get the praise when it goes well. Some folk take it too far tho, which I think is the issue some posters have.

04 Mar 2020 21:11:46
Herewego the score at Ibrox tonight at the moment is the reason why this team gets pelters. We are turning into a very bad team and something is wrong. Same crap of let the fans down, will keep going, will start again. Stop showing blind loyalty and see what is in front of you.

04 Mar 2020 21:12:07
Absolutely they do but they’re not a favourite so they don’t get a chance while Tav, Goldson etc get umpteen.

04 Mar 2020 18:52:24
Just watching the Leverkusen game in the German Cup against Union Berlin. Leverkusen have all their big names playing and are behid 1-0 after an hour. They don't look great to be honest. i'm well aware that they are an excellent side but my point is that every team can play poorly and if we catch them on a night they play like they have done so far after an hour then we have a chance.

Q the spoke to soon moment. Leverkusen will probably play brilliantly in the last half hour and win the match😂.

04 Mar 2020 19:22:16
3-1 Leverkusen🙈😂😂😂 In my defence all 3 goals scored after Berlin reduced to 10 men😂.

04 Mar 2020 19:49:07
Bayer won 3_1.

04 Mar 2020 17:41:30
Predcitions for game tonight?

I will say a hard fought 2 nil

All this gerrard business with him saying 'im all in'. that's great and happy he said that . but does his players have the same thoughts? Need everyone on same page.

Had a read through some posts and some of you are saying who cares if celtic get 10iar. are you all foxtrotting bonkers? Why oh why would any rangers fan be ok with them holding this record over us? couldn't believe what i was reading. don't care about the finances. that's for the board to worry about. as a rangers fan i do not want celtic holding anything over us.

Morelos shouldn't be on the park tonight but he will.

Davis shouldn't be on park tonight because his best days are behind him. but he will be.

Tav captain til end of season then i'd give mcgregor it for his final season then following season arfield or jack if they're still with us.

Ojos train ticket back to liverpool should be given to him now and sent back

Kamberi should start tonight along with defoe in a 442 formation. mix it up a bit.


Keep morelos as far away as possible. guys an accident rangers could do without.

04 Mar 2020 18:03:16
igglepiggle, you are spot on with every line, but remember there's none so blind as those who cannot see! great post keep em coming lad.

04 Mar 2020 18:57:54
If we intend sell morellos we need to play him to get decent value and he's easily our best striker like him or not.

04 Mar 2020 19:13:39
5-0. Maybe a bit optimistic but one can only hope.

04 Mar 2020 15:08:13
Just read Gerrard says every player is on trial every game. Am I missing something. Some players are punished after our recent performances. Katic dropped. Kamara dropped. Morelos dropped. Tav should be on that list tonight then. Captain or not. Goldson too. We'll see who starts tonight. Seems to be punish some and not others.

04 Mar 2020 15:53:27
I don't think it is to be honest If Goldson has had a run of bad games back to back I reckon he would drop him!

Goldson has been fine those last couple of games

Some people are missing the point here and you have to be realistic on who we have to replace these lads We don't have much in the defensive department

You can't rely on young lads for the bigger SPL games, these guys have to be playing other lesser teams to get vital experience If you were going to do that and the younger inexperienced take a bad game it's not good for their confidence!

04 Mar 2020 16:01:24
All 11 starters against Hearts played poorly, are you suggesting we drop the entire team?

04 Mar 2020 16:04:48
Oaft Rossco3001, wait until SGL reads your post! LOL.

04 Mar 2020 16:16:31
Lets see if this will make any difference Rossco.

Could be he is now bringing out the big stick to see if it gees up some slackers.

04 Mar 2020 16:16:46
If Gerrard is consistent edmunson should be dropped for Katic.

04 Mar 2020 16:20:51
Aye the American boy Polster has been unlucky.

04 Mar 2020 17:10:05
I'll be surprised if edmundson starts. was an all round poor performance but big man was really really poor.

04 Mar 2020 11:27:50
That rules out Adidas for us then with Tim's signing biggest deal ever for them😢
Oh well Puma for us then😢😢🇬🇧.

04 Mar 2020 11:51:09
I wouldn't say so, we have had the same sponsors before so you never know.

04 Mar 2020 12:08:04
You're confusing sponsors with shirt manufacturers/ suppliers.

04 Mar 2020 12:16:54
Until we get the retail side of things crystal clear Adidas or Nike won’t give us a look in given what has happened with Hummel imo.

04 Mar 2020 13:47:25
I think we she try under armour i use there running gear, trainers, tshirts etc, for long runs and there well made.

04 Mar 2020 14:16:24
1872. I know the difference between a sponsor and a kit manufacturer. Saying we can't have Adidas make our kits because they are going to make The Celtic's doesn't make sense. Why couldn't they supply both sides? If a sponsor can do it, a supplier could too.

04 Mar 2020 14:39:06
whoever it is they need to embroider the badge not stick it on.

04 Mar 2020 17:01:31
rumour is macron?

any thoughts?


coybib.


wdw.

04 Mar 2020 17:30:11
The Gers way Macron and them with Adidas 😡😡😡.

04 Mar 2020 17:49:41
But but but supercooper told us a month ago that our new commercial director had said set up. I hope he right cause that even more cash for them.

04 Mar 2020 18:20:39
Fauldhoose bear i said i heard bisgrove was speaking with new balance, not adidas pal!

04 Mar 2020 23:01:10
We’ve both had the same supplier before too so that’s that argument over.

04 Mar 2020 10:52:58
I'm chuffed Stevie is staying, but after considering the circumstances and options he has I feel he choose option 1, to stay in the hope he can turn it around for next season.

It could also be option 2, His advisors told him stay untill the end of his contract even although he is a millionare (why walk with no financial benefit) .

Option 3, he is an honoutable man and will walk end of next season if again no silver.

All we can do now is hope we don't drop further points behind the mhanks that would reignite the rage of our support.

Finally is this a bad omen for tonights game (hope not) .

Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. ("Wednesday's child is full of woe") .
Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving.

04 Mar 2020 12:02:41
he may still leave if he gets nowhere with them. i'm guessing when out of europe, if or when that happens.
There isn't enough money available to fight a whole season v them as they are well ahead in squad and fighting spirit alas.
Personally i hope he stays but if an offer comes in from a biggish side down sath, then he could easily quit.

As for tonight, nothing short of a massive performance is good enough.

04 Mar 2020 12:47:22
Struth, i don't see it that way at all mate, he is no quitter, so he is going nowhere for a while yet,

04 Mar 2020 13:04:40
Agree he could walk if an EPL club want him struth, depending on the outcome at the end of this season of course.

04 Mar 2020 13:26:00
I think he will get next season to try stop 10
Makea no sense a new guy coming in due to the timing don't have time to start again because of the 10 hanging over us.
