Talking amongst ourselves, at ibrox last night, at full time, we all in tandem reckon that rangers manager steven gerrard, is fast becoming as loved by our supporters, as graeme souness and walter smith were! You can feel the adulation all us gers supporters, have for stevie G! He has absolutely everything you'd expect, from a rangers manager! As time goes on gerrard will only get better and better as a manager! Our football club has got into his heart, its there for all to see already! One thing is for sure, gerrard whenever he eventually leaves us, will leave a rangers supporter as well as his 1st love liverpool!

Fair comment Coup, my concern is maybe other clubs may come calling. I hope he's here for the long haul though!

05 Oct 2018 23:57:43
I think we're all pleased with how things are progressing ( especially in Europe ) but its only Oct, let's see how the season goes before comparing Gerrard with Smith and Sounness.

06 Oct 2018 12:21:46
He doesn't need money goalie but a challenge and with us he definitely has that. He doesn't seem like a quitter and as long as he has our support. I think he will be in it for the long haul . Dave King quietly at the match last night . He must be as chuffed as punch.

06 Oct 2018 12:26:47
@goalie - I think it's a win / win for all concerned. If other clubs come calling then it means we will have been successful. This in turn makes the Rangers job attractive to other quality managers. Which in turn means no more being linked with McInnes etc. 👍.

Great result last night but time to stop celebrating and move on. Anything less than 3 points against Hearts on Sunday will not be acceptable.

05 Oct 2018 20:58:03
Yep I fancied us last might strongly and the same for hearts on Sunday. However come the next league away game i will be back to feeling the worst until whatever fear we have away from home is lifted.

06 Oct 2018 12:13:09
Three disagrees already Bankie. Not fae me tho I think we can do it but no chicken counting yet.

05 Oct 2018 16:55:59
Anyone any idea of what it would cost to sign any of the loanees, mainly ejaria and Kent? IMO Ejaria is a great player. Passing is class and uses his legs and body like zidane. Please note I'm not saying ejaria is as good as zidane lol.

05 Oct 2018 17:23:45
Don't know how much it would cost but I reckon the kent and ejaria would sign for us, let's face it with talent already at liverpool and the fact that liverpool will continue to buy top players it will be very hard for them to break into the liverpool team. So they either move to a leicester watford etc and earn massive cash or they play for us and have nights like last night👍. Take patrick roberts for example, he is now at girona in spain. 👍.

05 Oct 2018 17:28:15
Far too much for us anyway. they've both got 4 years left at Liverpool.

05 Oct 2018 17:34:04
I think we could pick up Kent for a training fee as I believe he is out of contract in the summer but Ejaria probably sees his future down south? Might be wrong 🇬🇧.

05 Oct 2018 17:35:30
Bearmodes right. Might get them on another seasons loan though.

05 Oct 2018 18:51:58
Blueberry, you've hit the nail on the head pal! I reckon we have a very good chance of getting both, ovie ejaria and ryan kent, on extended 1 year loan deals, after this season! I would love us to be able to sign both kent and ejaria permanently, but i don't think we could afford to buy them permanently! I've said as much on here previously!

05 Oct 2018 21:00:04
Man city wanted 12 million for Patrick Roberts. How much donypubthink Kent and ejaria then would be valued at.

05 Oct 2018 21:05:12
Would love to see them sign permanently but would think they will be too expensive. A year extension would be a good option blueberry

Good thing is that SG and his staff have brought these players through at Liverpool. He obviously knows how to nurture young talent. Hopefully the same will happen at Ibrox with our young players.

06 Oct 2018 00:15:40
Cf bear, the point i'm making is that young players at the top prem clubs end up off the radar at some unknown club whereas we can offer a platform of european football at a massive club in front of 50k. That has to trump playing for girona for example👍.

Young players at the top prem clubs should let their contracts expire as the majority have no chance of breaking into the first team. Agents are greedy tho and advise these kids to sign deals purely for financial reasons and not footballing reasons. Now roberts has pretty much zero chance of getting into the first team, so why would man city put a 12mil price tag on him? Its greed. They are pricing him out of a decent move and effectively ruining his career. Young players down south should take note👍.

06 Oct 2018 00:31:02
I honestly feel that both would not be worth what they would command in transfer fee, if we can extend the loans great, I’m sure Liverpool can see the benefit to these deals as opposed to the loans both players had in the Championship last season so we might get even better players on loan next summer. This is not the market we should be shopping in for permanent signings though, the money down south has distorted the value, just look at Waghorn.

06 Oct 2018 12:22:18
A years extension. two years at club is as good as a signing.

05 Oct 2018 11:04:52
What a performance an result last night, should have been about 6-0 really. Their goal was a mile offside but who cares now, up and at em Stevie.

05 Oct 2018 11:50:02
It was so far offside that it was shocking that the officials missed it👍.

05 Oct 2018 12:21:23
Thank you Mr Gerrard. thank you.

05 Oct 2018 11:06:40
On a more serious note though,

I see Scotland has jumped another place in the UEFA coefficient table due to our result. That's a few times now this season.

I find it hilarious that we were told Scotland did not need Rangers and more recently since returning to the Premier League we were told Scotland 'did not need a strong Rangers'.

It's no coincidence since our financial downfall in 2011 that Scotland's coefficient took a battering and now since our return it has now made it's strongest leap in many years.

Bar Celtic, the runners up in Scotland have done hee haw in Europe when they had their chance as we were climbing up the leagues.

06 Oct 2018 00:10:48
10 years since 2 teams in Scotland have been in the group stage of Europe, not a good stat . If rangers and Celtic do well this year and all the teams do well next year there will be 2 champions League spots the year after.

I think the Scottish game is on the up, the teams round and about are stronger, the tic are weaker and we are a hell of a lot stronger than we have been for a long time. Gerrard and Allen have been superb in the transfer window, just about all the signings have been superb witch if a reflection of our manager superb . Great to have big European night at ibrox.

Guys, new kits are out for delivery. I got mines today via Royal Mail.
Good sizing, I’m always a large and the large from Hummel fits me perfect!

Let’s turns this town blue!

As much as I love reading about Rangers winning got to admit I also love reading about rivals defeats, however to joy of daily record home page online. One link for rangers game, even though that was probably the best performance of a scottish team in europe this season. Not one link or comment of how celtic got on in europe. Did they win did they lose?! ah who cares. LetsGo.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 5th October 2018

05 Oct 2018 09:41:52
I see southgate has named 6 uncapped players for the up coming friendlies, bold move.

04 Oct 2018 23:40:03
What a performance, the best we have played so far under SG, to be top of a group that most thought we would be the whipping boys a title belongs to victim fc long may they keep it.
