Not going to be popular here but i cannot see where we get 15 million for Morelos. Lille look they have ended their interest and this 19 clubs interested is a load of nonsense. This guy has been rank rotten since the end of last year. He is not filly fit, disinterested and has a shocking disciplinary record and record against C$^%%. He believes his own hype. Every time he plays his value drops. If we get 15 million we should drop him at his next location before they change their mind. We are likely to get more money for Barisic than Morelos the way it is going.



08 Aug 2020 00:34:19
Anyone else thinking?

It is looking like we might be stuck with a player who no longer wants to be here, but won’t help his chances by getting back to what he does best, scoring goals and playing well for the team?

If there was a list of teams wanting him they would have bid and he would be away

It’s starting to look like no one wants to take a chance on him especially with his price tag we have put on him now

I don’t know about the rest of you guys,

But when does the Morelos escapade end?

When can gerrard stop worrying about him, can he play him? Will he drop him, will he be sold, can we get the money we want for him?

Or does no team come in with the right price and we’re stuck with a Morelos who really is unhappy?

What headache does that give the manager?
And what disharmony does that bring to the squad

I think the whole situation has became a bit of a farce
And I really can’t see how it’s going to end now

If Lille were very serious about taking him couple weeks ago and other teams wanted him they would have all bid and we probably would have had a few firm bids in
And he would probably have left by now or being reported he was leaving

I think we’re going to 1 be stuck with an unhappy player

Or 2 he gets sold way south of £10 million to let him go?
Either way the situation needs sorted now

Gerrard said he’s capable of putting it out his mind and can play, he hasn’t shown he can do that in a while now
He’s not been the same player for a long time

Does he get to continue to play 3-4 more games to show while he’s here he can contribute

Suppose time will tell.



08 Aug 2020 00:38:36
Agree with every word you said Stevie. I said something similar about anything north of £10 million we should take it, thank him and move on and got accused of being one of these rangers fans who under values our players and thankfully I'm not in charge of transfer deals at the club etc etc. His value is dropping every day and do you see a list of clubs queing up to sign him?, there aren't any. Lille signed Jonathan David so they won't come back in and there's nobody else. Purely for morale in the dressing room, he needs to go. Remember the rumours that Morelos was the issue behind the slump after the winter break, all the players got run into the ground in the Dubai heat, while Morelos got time off. He doesn't want to be here which he's made obvious with all the talk about wanting to play in a more competitive league, which is quiet ironic given he's won nothing in the non competitive league he's playing in plus, Gerard seems to have lost patience with him.



08 Aug 2020 05:47:59
Only thing I’m thinking of is Alfredo getting another 29 goals plus he’s got a few buddies to help him now. So enough with the negative stuff. Buff still a rangers player ungrateful the rubbish I hear on here the wee man has gave everything he can for us.



08 Aug 2020 06:48:44
Time will tell lads.



08 Aug 2020 07:45:33
We'll be lucky to get anywhere near the 17mil that's being quoted, gerrard now saying that he only wants to work with players that want to be here🙈👍.



08 Aug 2020 08:33:53
Totally agree with you Stevie. Personally I am sick and tired of Morelos attitude. The guy is clearly an idiot, it’s simple, you want a move (because you overrate yourself) so what is the best way to make that happen? Well you show the world what a great player you are, you knuckle down, work hard, score goals, keep you stupid hot head under control, and the offers come flooding in. But what does Morelos do? He does the opposite, he downs tools, he gets lazy, his goals dry up, he continues to huff and puff and take tantrums like a baby. Result? Ain’t nobody in their right mind is going to write a cheque for £20m.



08 Aug 2020 09:13:51
We need him gone by hook or by crook.

If nothing permanent happens fire him out on loan.



08 Aug 2020 09:18:00
Dwallace. We are all sick and tired of him. We need players who will give there all for us for a full season not spit the dummy out in January.



08 Aug 2020 09:27:26
I’m thinking that you lot who value Morelos so lowly are showing your poor knowledge of the football transfer market.

Alf is worth £20m any day of the week. He is immature and still developing as a person and player but his ability is unquestionable.

Suggesting we accept £15m or even less is ridiculous.



08 Aug 2020 09:50:21
Who would pay 20mil for someone who is immature🤔 honestly DK🤷‍♂️👍.



08 Aug 2020 10:32:07
Hypothetically coldo, if someone did pay over £17m for Morelos would that mean that team/ manager was nuts? Or that you might (just might) be wrong? 🤔.



08 Aug 2020 11:00:39
Coldo never admits to being wrong, he just disappears for a while ☹️👍😢😢😝

His superhero Kent went missing last season but did we hear from the guru? No chance he was on an extended sabbatical.

What about when Katic was making rash challenges? Another sabbatical from Guru Coldo.

If only the guru was proved to be correct then his belittling of everyone else would be profound but since he talks as much rubbish as the rest of us his bullying responses are simply pathetic.



08 Aug 2020 12:20:41
I'll drive him to wherever it is if we get 17mil grumpy👍

DK😂😂😂👍.



07 Aug 2020 23:23:18
Don't know why people are complaining about mebude joining man. c Tav is played constantly ahead of Patterson, when young Nathan seems to be a big step forward. He's not getting a game. The youngsters here don't get a chance. It's understandable . If man c. think that our teens are good enough, why don't we. Are we better than them, or maybe the premier teams fancy giving them a chance. B. Gilmour for example. Good enough for Chelsea, but not good enough for us. Mccrorie wants away for game time and we play 36 year old Davis instead of our academy talent. Chinks in Gerrard's armour are beginning to shine through. The same set up. Same culprits and mistakes. After two years now and no silverware, I'm beginning to question decisions. Runs in Europe aside, we've been crap domestically. How is that possible. Beating Braga, Lyon, Warsaw etc and were crap against hearts and Motherwell? WTF.



07 Aug 2020 23:53:45
Rossco better watch the positivity brigade will be out to get you 😂😂😂😂


I got slaughtered for having that exact opinion last week.
As a player Gerrard won 0 titles and after 2 years of money being thrown at him he has won her haw apart from winning the SFA another cl place.



08 Aug 2020 00:03:37
Gilmour was 15 years old when he was with us. Hardly going to get a game with the first team😂😂.



08 Aug 2020 02:54:15
Ahh the old billy gilmour debate. he's didn't want to play for us. not to mention when he played at rangers he was what 15/ 16? So no he wasnt good enough at that age. Would have got booted all over the park.



08 Aug 2020 06:55:05
Young players come and go. It happens at all clubs, sometimes we benefit, sometimes we don't.
I agree Paterson and mccrorie should get more game time though.
SG didn't win a title, pretty sure he won the biggest competition in club football though. 🤔
You were taking the p*as out of posters yourself only yesterday Jenkins, so don't moan about getting slaughtered yourself! 😉.



08 Aug 2020 07:20:07
jsijenkins, are you saying that Gerrard was unsuccessful as a player because he never won a title? There's not a player or manager, in Scotland, half as successful as Gerrard. For every pound being "thrown"at him they have thrown two and while I agree that he has to win something let's get the reality of our situation in perspective, we spent 5 years in the wilderness when they were pulling in north of £20 mil a year in CL money. We are and will be, for the foreseeable future, playing catch up financially to them. There is no one saying we shouldn't be beating Hearts and Hamilton but it's the team with the biggest, most expensive squad that's winning everything year on year and if we sell Morelos for £15 mil they could sell edwardo for £30 mil. I do not know what the answer is but I know getting on our managers back isn't it.



08 Aug 2020 08:15:17
Can’t really afford to risk playing some youth team players every game this year if we are to try stop Celtic from winning 10 in a row mate. Hopefully see more of them come off the bench with the 5 subs rule when we are in cruise control a couple of goals up on a Hamilton or someone but this year is too important otherwise. Think next year we will probably see a lot more breakthroughs.



08 Aug 2020 08:36:23
So young mebude is being signed by Man City to play in their first team? Chelsea and Man City have a history of signing young lads throughout Europe and beyond. Sometimes in multi million pound deals. The vast majority are sent out on loan and never see the first team. Look at the wee guy Celtic signed a few seasons back. 12 million from Fulham. One good season at Celtic and he has disappeared. Granted you get a billy gilmore or a Ben fodden every couple of years. But let’s see if they can establish themselves. Sg said if they are good enough they play. Look at 17 year old Leverkusen boy. Our best midfielder Ryan jack couldn’t lay a finger on him. That’s the level and none of our boys are there yet.



08 Aug 2020 09:03:42
Jyf I've never once said he was unsuccessful mate although domestically and internationally he had a tendency to "slip up".

All I'm saying is it has been a running theme in this man's career to be successful in Europe but unsuccessful in the domestic league.

Can you argue with that?

And as a West ham supporter from birth I will never forget his wonder goal against us in the fa cup final.



08 Aug 2020 09:08:18
Mr grumpy I'm not moaning at all brother merely forewarning the poster of the positivity brigade lol.

I did lay into the suggestion of having a vote on signings bit that is laughable it's hard not to poke fun at it.



08 Aug 2020 09:23:58
I'd give patterson more game time👍.



07 Aug 2020 21:20:55
His heads been turned for months that's why he can't see the goal maybe he needs an operation too get it turned back around.



07 Aug 2020 20:52:45
Just read that's 2 champ league places for next season awarded with us reaching last 16. 👍. 🔴⚪️🔵.



07 Aug 2020 18:30:34
Looks like Celtic have been awarded 3 points vs Aberdeen with them missing 8 players plus Cosgrove and the game going ahead. Another boost for their goal difference must be planning to call the league sometime soon 😂.



07 Aug 2020 18:53:32
Plus considine. if gets any worse they will have no option but to call it off.



07 Aug 2020 19:02:35
Im not sure Aberdeen players weren't in pub last Friday night. The way they played against us Saturday lunchtime you have to wonder. There punishment is to get game postponed for their players breaking rules. Hearts and Thistle were slaughtered for wanting to appeal their relegation. Yet Aberdeen will get what punishment from Doncaster and Co? Nothing no doubt.



07 Aug 2020 19:53:54
Game v at Johnstone rescheduled for the 20th august so they will play a full strength side but the Aberdeen games against Celtic and Hamilton will go ahead with probably a depleted Aberdeen side, how can that be? 🤔.



07 Aug 2020 20:23:07
I'm sure the games will rescheduled if it gets worse, they will be waiting until nearer game time before making a decision which is the correct thing to do, or they could award 3 points to the other team if aberdeen can't play their games but you's would cry conspiracy if celtic were awarded 3 points🤦‍♂️. Cue yately🤔😂😂👍.



07 Aug 2020 20:47:45
I don’t understand how 8 of them were in the pub (soul bar) after the game. who was it from outside Aberdeen that paid for the drink! 🤣.



07 Aug 2020 21:40:42
Heard it was liewell's round Irock🤭😂👍.



07 Aug 2020 18:27:53
Talking about calling your kids after legendary players etc. when my son was born he was due to come home on the Sun with the wife but it was old firm day, I sent a taxi to get them and went to the match convinced we would win and I would name the boy after one of the scorers - ended 1-1. Brahim Hemdani scored, got home wife was already pissed of getting a taxi and would probably have killed me if I floated the name idea so needless to say he wasn’t named after big Brahim 😂.



07 Aug 2020 19:56:57
Nice one.



07 Aug 2020 20:49:31
You need to go to Mr Singhs (Glasgow) and speak to Satty and his son Oleg! No joke, true a blue as you could meet, lovely gent and great host/ food! great story too!



07 Aug 2020 21:37:14
Brilliant stuff both 🤣.



07 Aug 2020 21:58:15
Irock, very true, many years ago, my Wife and I were treated like royalty by Sati and his staff, Walter Smith and some of his friends and there wives were at an adjacent table, fantastic as well. As regards the Aberdeen matches, I am only interested in how we get on, we have the chance to get a few goals ourselves prior to that, and, who knows our new strike force may just be what we have been needing.



07 Aug 2020 16:46:22
Anyone else think Alfredo's time is up after the managers comment last night? " His heads been turned, I only want to work with players who want to be here", sounds like it too me. need to get shot ASAP, he was hopeless again last night, could forgive it if he put in some effort but didn't even put any effort in.



07 Aug 2020 17:54:00
SG said that. are you a clairvoyant?



07 Aug 2020 22:01:34
Why did he play him then, someone else could have played at centre forward, he was worse than a man down, sorry, but this was SG's fault if he's criticising Alfie, his Agent is the twit that's turning his head and ruining a good player.



08 Aug 2020 11:39:22
Who else could the manager have played in place of him? if he had left him on the bench and we had played a player who isn’t an out and out striker the manager would have been slaughtered for being negative by some folk, no win situation, the least you expect is 100% effort.



07 Aug 2020 16:10:01
Yeah, playing in Germany?, seems a flyer maybe more of a wing back, did wonder if bassey was signed with a view to get 1 more season from barasic then cash him in.



07 Aug 2020 16:32:57
What?



07 Aug 2020 18:57:15
On the wrong page talking about left back on rumours page read there and will make sence.



07 Aug 2020 19:03:52
Ah that middle Eastern boy, is he any good.



07 Aug 2020 15:43:34
Ok. we all know what players we want and what players we have to get rid of.
But if a club like Glasgow Rangers can't see what we see. what's wrong.
Are we as supporters and fans wrong.
We are not football manager's
But like to moan and have our say.
Really think its time for fans and supporters to have a bigger say in our club.
Lets face it. we pay good money to support Rangers.
And without this support this club has. the club is nothing.
Just really thing we have to be heard in some sort of voice.
Fans vote on who leaves and who we buy.
That can't be a bad thing eh.
If we don't get this league won this season. then i give up.



07 Aug 2020 15:51:34
Just naw.



07 Aug 2020 15:59:02
No chance we'd have ended up with dykes 🙄🙄🙄.



07 Aug 2020 16:55:20
Rab there is not a manger in the world worth the name would Put up with that
We base opinions on 90 mins manger sees them day in day out So we’ve no real basis to form an opinion other than a dislike of a player or knee jerk reaction
Christ on here we’re at each other throats about the quality off the tops! it would be carnage mate carnage.



07 Aug 2020 17:00:33
I agree. We can vote if we pay we should be able to vote who we sign. I play FIFA all the time and some great players on their we are missing out on. Ones with really low rating but keep playing them and the rating go up. Brilliant call.



07 Aug 2020 17:11:47
Jenkins😂😂😂😂👍.



07 Aug 2020 17:21:54
We’d never be able to start the season on time going by the disagreements on here! 😭.



07 Aug 2020 17:32:14
Ibrox guy that's a belter 🤣🤣.



07 Aug 2020 17:53:10
Unbelievable some of the posts on here coldo 😂😂 one minute trust the manager next minute let's have a vote it's as bad as the nationalists allowing 16 year olds the political vote.



07 Aug 2020 18:14:08
Yes let's give the fans a say in who we sign and then when it doesn't work out we can blame the manager and he gets sacked . brilliant idea!
Oh and by the way the players who have failed to perform are still on 4 year lucrative contracts,



07 Aug 2020 20:24:38
Completely agree jenkins👍.



07 Aug 2020 23:19:38
I think Rab should put away his fishing rod 😁.



07 Aug 2020 15:15:23
Jonathan David moves to Lille from Genk for £27 million. Where does that leave the Morelos saga now? He was playing like he'd already left so hopefully another club comes in as I don't think we can risk his attitude bringing the rest of the squad down if he doesn't get his wish of a move.



07 Aug 2020 15:31:52
David is not an outright striker.



07 Aug 2020 15:41:26
SirStruth, i've said on here all along that i just had a strong feeling that morelos wouldn't be signing for lille! I think personally if he goes at all it will be IMHO to english premier league or the spanish la liga 👍🤔.



07 Aug 2020 15:44:38
Dont care who but his time is up. He need to go for sake of the team and the club could be done with the cash. Should more than cover are summer spending this year.



07 Aug 2020 15:44:59
I don’t think he will go at all.



07 Aug 2020 15:58:51
Kja purely for the clubs bank balance i think he will definitely have to move on.



07 Aug 2020 16:58:19
It's honestly hard at this point in time to see why a EPL club would want Morelos. The old saying 'You're only as good as your last game' might be an exaggeration but when was the last time he has looked EPL quality?



07 Aug 2020 18:10:37
ollie watkins of brentford compare his stats to alfies, his release clause is 18million, some bampot will probably pay it, and we have to sit and listen to the pish on here about alfies price, some of you want to get real.



07 Aug 2020 18:19:58
Geromino that arrow went straight to Morelos heart, you just need to finish him off now by scalping him 😂.



07 Aug 2020 18:40:27
Paul someone needs to bid for him tho.



07 Aug 2020 15:02:10
SO the Aberdeen game is off due to their 8 clowns. i would award the game to St Johnstone. will the next Aberdeen game be off too? will other players be happy to play against them (i know testing is still happening) but it would certainly be playing on my mind if i was in that situation.



07 Aug 2020 15:45:20
i am hoping the next game is off. No doubt they will make them play celtic with no players available.



07 Aug 2020 17:17:39
Yeah. They'll say, no you can't play st. Johnstone with eight team members less, but you can play Celtic as long as you make up the team with the ball boys and dinner ladies from your club. Its only fair that Celtic get to play their games.



07 Aug 2020 14:57:30
Good afternoon bears. I thought I'd change the subject from transfers, formations and Tav bashing to a bit of nostalgia to when we were all able to attend games. I'm trying to pass a superstition I used to have onto my daughter who is 5 but I'm now having second thoughts. Heres why.

About 20/ 25 years ago before every game I would have to play a game of FIFA against the team we were facing that day. I was convinced that if I beat them then the Rangers would go on and win. This almost always worked. I thought I was some sort of Nostradamis at the time but thinking back I was just pretty decent at FIFA and Rangers almost always won so when I grew up a bit and realised that the teams performance had nothing to do with my FIFA skills I was quite miffed to be honest. Still it had become a superstition and I never felt quite right about going to the game without a wee game.

So during lockdown I had the chance to reacquaint myself with FIFA. I hadn't played in about 5 years. I then started to teach my 5 year old daughter how to play. She loves her football and is pretty good herself but she was not quite grasping FIFA. However I persevered and this morning I thought "Right, now is the time to pass on the superstition baton". So I set up FIFA for my daughter to play as Rangers against St Mirren. I'd updated all the players so that the team was what I think it will be on Sunday with Itten and Roofe included. Next I made sure that the difiiculty level was set to amateur. Then it was over to her. I thought she was ready. The rules were that I wasn't allowed to watch and had to wait until the game had ended to find out the score. I was nervous I'm not going to lie. Anyway, out the room I went after kissing her on the head and saying "Good luck darling, don't let your dad or Rangers down".

Game is over. She shouts me in. As I walk in I see her wee face smiling and I'm thinking "Ya beauty, she's only gone and done it". I look up to the screen and see the score line. Rangers 0 St Mirren 8. I said "Oh no, what happened? Rangers will get beat by St Mirren now on Sunday. " She looked at me and said "But dad, I played quite well". Lol.

God bless her I felt rotten for putting all that pressure on her.

For those of you that have stuck with this long tedious read I say well done. Please share any superstitions you have before going to the games and let's get a giggle.



07 Aug 2020 15:35:21
Nice story. But bad dad for putting your wee lass under pressure. I’m no one for superstition but touch wood we will win on Sunday.



07 Aug 2020 15:40:18
MOC if Rangers get beat 8-0 on Sunday you better go back into lockdown lol it’s great to here guys showing their kids the way. My lad is 7 and he loves the Teddy Bears 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧.



07 Aug 2020 15:51:13
"Good luck darling, don't let your dad or Rangers down".
Lol, no pressure there.
Cracking story and I, like you believed I was Rangers' lucky mascot, always there when they won and never there when they didn't. I did conveniently leave out a huge amount of games, but what are fantasies without a bit of poetic licence.
This crossed my mind again at my first game in almost 20 years when I went to the Braga game, and we know how that turned out. Maybe there's a bit of magic in old Cletus yet lol.
Great story MOC and thanks for sharing.



07 Aug 2020 15:59:35
I have my first due in January and am trying to convince my girlfriend to call him Cooper (after the legendary player, not the legendary poster on here 😉) . Ed can we maybe bring back the agree button for just a day so I can show her how many back me up? 😎.



07 Aug 2020 16:13:36
Snell, for months we were going to call my son Cooper and changed it last minute. My mate ended up calling his boy Cooper. It’s a thumbs up from me!



07 Aug 2020 17:12:14
Cletus, you get yourself to as many games as possible my friend. It was obviously your presence at the Braga game that influenced the result. If you believe that then its true lol.

Snell, you get my thumbs up for Cooper. All the best when the wee one comes.



07 Aug 2020 17:20:49
Snell at worst make your boys middle name Cooper.



07 Aug 2020 17:33:47
Cheers boys 👍 will keep you updated in the new year! In the meantime will be showing the missus screenshots from here to see the support I have 😁.



07 Aug 2020 18:00:53
Hiya snell I'm with you here buddy I called my son Cooper he is now 18 everybody down in Carlisle used to ask where he got his name from and bursting with pride I replied Davy Cooper from the famous Glasgow rangers.



07 Aug 2020 18:28:39
I was desperate to call my middle one Lennon, after john lennon obviously, who I idolize. Couldn't bring myself to do it because of popcorn teeth over the way, no way 😂😂.



07 Aug 2020 23:24:34
Cooper Snell has a nice ring to it 😁👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.



07 Aug 2020 14:34:50
6counties tav hasn’t been the same since candy man left, they worked well together although candy tracked back an awful lot to bail him out, we need wide players that don’t just think their work is limited to the oppositions half and are willing to do the dirty work as well. 50,000 people every other week can see the issues he has so why can’t the management team see it.



07 Aug 2020 14:46:06
That’s a good point about candy man covering. The question is though, when Tav goes forward as I’m sure he’s instructed to do, who fills in for the opposition break? God knows how many tines I’ve heard about Tav getting caught up the park but surely there’s team instructions and tactics to accommodate that?



07 Aug 2020 15:04:51
Tav was hopeless defender when we were in championship. Only becoming more so now because his goals (pens) have dried up.



07 Aug 2020 15:05:12
Blue monkey we didn’t do any better with candyman and tavernier down the right as both still had major failings in their games.



07 Aug 2020 16:33:16
Candy man did bail him out but that’s what Gerrard is playing to sitting mids for, when Borna goes kamara is to cover and when tav goes jack is the cover, nothing legislates for him making a mistake when he is in position. that is all on him.



07 Aug 2020 14:21:33
Tavenier reminded everyone again last night he's a liability still. lost possession 15 times.



07 Aug 2020 15:08:59
Really is mystifying how James Tavernier is a Rangers player let alone the captain.



07 Aug 2020 13:49:18
Lars Bender sums up just how poor Rangers limped out of the tournament last night.



07 Aug 2020 23:25:50
Wrong site ben!



07 Aug 2020 13:21:06
Looking like Morelos won't play Sunday

Who we all think will play up front?

Itten? Or roofe? Or both?



07 Aug 2020 13:52:39
Hopefully both as I haven’t seen either play except for on YouTube. However I reckon one might be on the bench.



07 Aug 2020 14:18:41
Itten only with Roofe on bench, itten is fully match fit I expect us to ease Roofe into it.



07 Aug 2020 14:34:41
Right lads, what's your starting 11 for sunday against the paisley saints? 🤔My starting 11 would be-
Mcgregor
Tav
Goldson
Balogun
Barisic
Kamara
Jack
Aribo
Hagi
Itten
Kent
Taking into account the condition and mindstate of alfredo and roofe not up to speed yet, whereas itten had been playing in the swiss league for his former club st. gallen, up until last week, so he will be up to speed 👍.



07 Aug 2020 14:45:09
Morelos will play, Itten will come on second half.



07 Aug 2020 14:48:25
I'd agree Coop. Not up for the Tav bashing after a game against very decent opposition but would still be tempted to try Paterson at RB simply because if we don't in a game like this then when do we?



07 Aug 2020 15:00:06
That's the team I'd go for SGL. Although I can see Gerard playing Helander in place of Balogun as I thought he was our best player last night.



07 Aug 2020 15:08:00
McGregor, Patterson, barasic, goldson, Balogun, Kamara, Jack, Aribo, Kent, Itten, Hagi.



07 Aug 2020 15:09:26
Hellander was best player last night but coming back from serious injury.



07 Aug 2020 16:27:01
I’d have Hagi play as part of midfield 3, drop Kamara and bring in Roofe.



07 Aug 2020 16:34:07
That’s the team for Sunday, no way Morelos plays.



07 Aug 2020 22:15:28
SGL team selection looks good but iIs McGregor not a doubt for the game.



07 Aug 2020 12:43:16
My team for Sunday based upon form and ability IMO.

McGregor

Patterson balogun helander barisic

Jack kamara aribo

Hagi itten Kent.



07 Aug 2020 13:53:29
Think goldson will play instead of hellander. Hellander is just coming back from injury. Tav will probably play, although I agree with you, I'd like Patterson to get some game time.



07 Aug 2020 14:19:06
Tav and goldson will play I agree as the manager can't see past them.



07 Aug 2020 14:19:59
I really hope Patterson gets a chance, tav is the weak link in our side, he costs us time after time but still gets picked don’t know what Gerrard sees in him, he can’t defend and he ain’t no captain.



07 Aug 2020 14:21:09
It’s a good team mate but we all know it will be Goldson and tav in there, he’s going to gradually give Patterson minutes, maybe won’t see tav play as many 90 min games every week like he usually does, if we go a few goals up in games.



07 Aug 2020 14:28:33
I just hope Newcastle or Leeds decide they want him then we can get someone better.



07 Aug 2020 14:33:36
Patterson is being eased in prior to replacing Tavernier on a pernament basis.



07 Aug 2020 14:42:30
Gus surely at mirren would count as an easing on game then?



07 Aug 2020 15:26:24
Jsjenkins. Good team, but Arfield for Kamara.



07 Aug 2020 23:28:44
I like Arfield but can't drop Kamara imo.



07 Aug 2020 11:45:34
Just arrived home from a 4 day break and my 2 strips ordered for me and the boy still have not arrived and absolutely raging! Waited in on Monday and never arrived and nothing so far? £115 I laid out and we have nothing. Contacted email only contact and won't get any answer until 48 hrs working week. Anyone else having problems? 😡😭.



07 Aug 2020 12:01:40
Have you tried contacting uefa, liewell or the sfa yately🤔 That's usually the first suspects you call out when you cry conspiracy🙄 pesky tims🤭👍.



07 Aug 2020 12:32:37
A bet you are on checking your phone every 5 minutes just to be nasty to people. A very strange guy who was not that long ago was banned from this site for being nasty. Maybe get your kick out of your last post because I don’t agree with SPFL and you do👍👍👍👍👍👍.



07 Aug 2020 13:28:07
likely one of our fellow supporters have them. read somewhere further down that someone got 2 extra.



07 Aug 2020 13:39:47
helpful coldo!



07 Aug 2020 13:54:56
Ordered mine and the wee mans away top the say it got released both came yesterday.



07 Aug 2020 16:25:10
Received home top on Monday Yately. I read some issues with tops going missing from delivery firm Hermes but they have denied any issues.



07 Aug 2020 17:16:31
Dry your eyes yately just a bit fun with you that's all. Its hardly nasty, not one nasty word used at all. Is this not a banter page🤔😂👍.



07 Aug 2020 11:29:22
In better news. Rangers run in Europe, plus c*ltics means Scotland will have 2 teams in the champions League next season.



07 Aug 2020 11:44:32
Damn, that means they will go into the CL qualifying next season even after finishing second. How jammy is that?



07 Aug 2020 13:43:36
with respect mr grumpy its mainly due to rangers being back in europe.



07 Aug 2020 11:02:40
Reguarding last nights game the team we started with will not be the starting 11 on Sunday. We had a great run in Europe but surely our main objective is to win the league.
El Buffalo in my opinion is definitely away like a few of you have said he doesn't look interested and downed tools I personally wouldn't play him on Sunday.



07 Aug 2020 12:03:06
Fredo should be nowhere near the team on sunday👍.



07 Aug 2020 12:38:36
Agreed coldo my opinion of him has certainly changed.

I don't forget his goals but I also don't forget his petulance and suspension.



07 Aug 2020 12:48:45
Why's that coldo? 🤔.



07 Aug 2020 13:25:45
start him and take him off after 10 minutes.



07 Aug 2020 13:44:42
ha let's hope he is if at least to torture coldo hahahah.



07 Aug 2020 14:07:49
He shouldn’t be playing anymore

He hasn’t scored since god knows when - and he obviously isn’t interested in playing anymore or isn’t caring enough that he hasn’t scored

Have to play one of the new guys if not both of them they have came to play for Rangers and hopefully help us win the league

Alfredo doesn’t want to be here to win the league this season - so shouldn’t be playing any longer.



07 Aug 2020 10:52:59
Think we have all mentioned this way too many times now but we won't get away with having Tav in the side this year. Game after game defensive frailties. For our two 'leaders' Goldson and tav never seen to communicate with each other and tavernier is a detriment to goldson's game. Goldson i believe can be a very good defender for us if he cuts out mistakes when on the ball however i feel tav has had 5 years now to improve and its still not happened. We badly need to sign a Rb imo, and if possible move him on for a fee.
Good to see Helander back in the side and playing well, now gives us 3 solid choices at CB with Balogun.



07 Aug 2020 11:47:00
Unfotunately any mistake Tav makes inevitable leads to a goal. To be fair the wee guy Diaby is like lightning so not sure he could have stopped the goal in any case, even f he had been switched on.



07 Aug 2020 11:48:44
Tend to agree Dunf, I said a couple of years ago that we would win nothing while Tav was captain. Couldn't keep weans oot a close and wanted to take every corner free kick and throw in, even on the other side of the park.

Helander done ok considering his time out but certainly lacks pace so his reading of the game needs to be spot on.

Davis i feel will only be a squad player rather than a first choice this season as he slows the game down far too much and will be detremental to our pace up front.



07 Aug 2020 12:05:29
A lot of us have said for years that tav is not good enough. People then say its stats are great cause he scored 20 pens🙈👍.



07 Aug 2020 13:46:45
absolutely dunf. it was the thing i noticed first. hesitation and failed passing broke down to most of their best chances. i had the same thought.



07 Aug 2020 13:52:13
Correct Coldo I have said on numerous occasions that Tav ain’t good enough. I would like to see someone with a bit more experience come in and take young Patterson under his wing. Because he will learn nothing from Tav, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.



07 Aug 2020 13:56:47
Tav was terrible when we were in championship.



07 Aug 2020 14:16:56
Seeker, yes maybe he couldn't keep up but i don't think he needs to track him there, he simply needs to pass him on to goldson.
Poor communication which i think is evident between the pair of them on several occasions.
I tend to agree with jim that we won't win anything with him a stalwart in the side.



07 Aug 2020 15:04:50
I think many of the mistakes Goldson makes is because he's caught out trying to cover Tav's position while he's galavanting up the pitch and maybe panics.



07 Aug 2020 10:27:33
We all know Alfie's heads turned, however if we don't need to sell (I actually think Borna will go for £12m + this window) him and he has to prove himself again, could be the best thing for us and we know what a committed Alfie is like! With Roofe, Itten and Defoe down his neck throughout 20/ 21 when he fights his way back in to the team. Might just be a blessing in disguise-thoughts?



07 Aug 2020 10:38:34
Nah mate he's a liability who has let us down on too many occasions.
There is no coming back for him he's downed tools once he should be given a chance to do that again.



07 Aug 2020 10:40:55
It’s his time to go mate, get the money in and thank him for the good times, move on.



07 Aug 2020 11:01:46
Think he's finished. Gerard's patience has ran out. Thank him for his goals and let him go.



07 Aug 2020 11:02:12
Sell Morelos if the Price is Right, Borna is never worth £12 million
but if someone is offering take it, I'd also sell Tavs. his end product is terrible.



07 Aug 2020 11:14:00
Borna ís á 20 mil player.



07 Aug 2020 11:19:33
I really can't understand the attitude of Morelos. For a man who is wanting a move to a better league he has a strange way of showing it. For all his protestations to the contrary I feel that his petted lip seems to win out all the time. It's a pity because he really is a lethal finisher when he gets his act and discipline together.



07 Aug 2020 12:03:50
Borna is class but 20 million would be a stretch just because of his resale value at his age. 15 million and I think Rangers would have to sell. I don't want him to go but money talks.



07 Aug 2020 12:09:15
I'm pretty sure I said two year ago that his attitude was a disruptive influence🤔👍.



07 Aug 2020 12:16:21
The boy is from a village in Columbia, has had his head turned by how good things have gone for him in last 12 months, and now is listening to the spin of an agent. Not an excuse but give the boy a break.



07 Aug 2020 12:51:03
Are you sure coldo? You've never mentioned it before? 😉.



07 Aug 2020 13:21:24
how can borna not we worth 12m. Nothing between him and tierney and the tims got 25m for him. If anything borna is a better crosser of the ball so shouldn't accept anything less.



07 Aug 2020 13:50:11
and from cerete columbia. usually only one way out of there. drugs. boy doen good but mostly a single minded boy. needed to be. so let's say goodbye with some grace and understanding. he will. agree with tav comment. end product missing.



07 Aug 2020 14:06:52
Yes his attitude is all wrong. But on his game he is a handful for any defence, I wish him all the best wherever he ends up. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.



07 Aug 2020 10:26:41
If Morelos is anywhere near the match day squad on Sunday I truly believe that Gerrard should get dropped because it would be clear he had no backbone to do what's best for the club.



07 Aug 2020 10:40:01
Absolute rubbish jsijenkins.



07 Aug 2020 10:41:55
If he is it’s the pressure of trying to get the sell, Gerrard wants rid there is no doubt about it and it will have a bad influence on dressing room longer it drags on.



07 Aug 2020 10:48:20
So you would be happy with Morelos in squad bankie. And coully I know it seems he wants rid but it is detrimental to the team if he continues to play him.



07 Aug 2020 11:42:58
I agree it is mate, I don’t think Gerrard can win no matter what he does, if he’s here on Sunday he would be an unused sub for me.



07 Aug 2020 11:55:47
I would have him with the B team and if his move falls through then he can grovel.



07 Aug 2020 12:04:12
Well morelos will most likely start against st mirren? So I will start the gerrard out post early! i'm sure they will be proud of your support!



07 Aug 2020 12:10:36
Spot on jenkins fredo should be nowhere near the team👍.



07 Aug 2020 12:54:15
Nowhere near the first team? So how much do you want us to sell him for?
Morelos was poor last night, no doubt about it but he wasn't the only one and he wasn't the reason we got beat.



07 Aug 2020 09:38:14
Hi folks,
I am very happy with how we have conducted our transfer business so far this season and believe we are just a tiny bit off being in a great place. A DM and Right sided winger/ attacker would be nice.

I believe we will see Morelos exit in the next couple of days.

However my concern lies in 2 other areas. Tav and Goldson. Unlike many I do not see them as bad players (Tav isn't captain material IMO) . However these 2 play almost every game for us even when jaded. During Thursdays game I saw Gerrard talking to Goldson during a cooling period and Goldson seemed to turn away and not listening, there was almost a disrespect in it from what I could see. I'm not making a big deal of this or claiming unrest but when we clearly lack leaders Tav (captain) and your towering CB should be your go to people. They should be totally committed, totally determined and driving others on.

I'm afraid I just don't see it.
Tav I rate highly but he is not at his best and has little competition.
We still have no experienced winners in our squad. Someone who has run the course over a season in recent years (this includes our manager) .

For what it's worth I would love to see us bring in Gyamfi formally of Leicester. This would increase competition for RB and if Tav leaves we have 2 great young options to see us into the seasons ahead.



07 Aug 2020 10:18:49
I think Jayden Bogle would be a better option because I firmly believe he would be able to a lot straight into a starting berth.



07 Aug 2020 10:25:17
I agree about our captain. Must be Ryan Jack surely!



07 Aug 2020 11:02:34
Thing I noticed about Tav last night was if the player got past him or he was caught upfield he was ambling back. Thete was no bursting a gut to get back in position.



07 Aug 2020 13:00:08
Bogle would be a great addition but I reckon with 2 years on contract at top end of championship he will be north of 10 million.



07 Aug 2020 13:00:35
Did anyone else notice Goldson?



07 Aug 2020 13:17:05
Doubt we'd get Jayden Bogle cheap Jenkins.



07 Aug 2020 13:19:38
Jack as captain is not for me.

Decent player on his day but don't think he has been great in the first 2 competitive games this season. Drifted in and out of sheep game and done nothing last night, although most of the team didnt, but that's not an excuse really. Goldson would be my choice. More vocal than most of the players we have.

I also think if we bring in a strong tackling DM it will be jack that will be sacrificed in that area.



07 Aug 2020 23:38:45
Absolute piffle OT, Jack has been immense for us and is a stick on future captain.



07 Aug 2020 09:32:54
Think McCrorie on bench last night, thought because on loan during season was not eligible?



07 Aug 2020 10:25:12
Eligibility rules were that as long as the player was owned by us or registered on loan with us by February they were eligible.



07 Aug 2020 10:42:58
Thanks Jsi, in that case think young Docherty should have had place on bench.



07 Aug 2020 10:52:18
I think Gerrard has made his decision on him bankie. It's a shame I thought he was going to turn out good when he came in but I don't think his future is with us.



07 Aug 2020 09:17:40
Guys think we need to put Leverkusen game in perspective. It was a free hit and hopefully we are much better for it. The comments on here about what SG said are nonsense. Helander showed his class last night.



07 Aug 2020 10:25:33
Best rangers player on the pitch.



07 Aug 2020 08:49:29
OK good run in Europe comes to an end. maybe punched above our weight. what now? We need to improve both domestically and in Europe. I'd say obvious weakness right back, tavernier still charging forward like a headless chicken trying to intercept balls he's no chance of getting leaving both himself and team exposed as well as inadequate defending skills. cm Davis getting on, jack steady but safe, kamara decent but lack physically, need someone like ljubicic. still feel we need a right wing type like Olsen. barker trying harder but that toupee could be holding him back, no need for vanity son take it off. striker Morelos 1 goal this year! More chins than a chinese phone book, surely he's now4th choice striker?



07 Aug 2020 08:39:34
Wasn't really expecting a win last night, but what I did hope to see was a team with heart. But yet again it just wasn't there.

SG can scout players and find skillful players that will wear the Rangers jersey, he can teach them to play well. Passing, tackling, positioning etc. But what he doesn't seem to be getting through to them is that desire and fight to chase everything and give everything for the team. SG is a player that played with his heart on his sleeve, but this lot just don't seem to get it. We have no heart.

We've always had managers and players who fought for everything. Walter knew how to get that out of players. Barry Ferguson was one that was always chasing everything and dragging the team forward.

I'm not saying we need someone who bleeds blue and all that stuff. Just someone in that team to lead them and drive them forward. Just wish that McGregor had been an outfield player because he seems to be the only player on the field with that passion.



07 Aug 2020 08:23:01
I think everyone on here agrees that Leverkusen were a bridge too far for us, a class above. I accept that, it's true, but are we now accepting mediocrity as the norm? We had one header on target in the entire 90 mins. Sure they are a class act, but would the Gers of old have gone down and out with a whimper, or would they have shown pride and determination and fought like tigers even if it was a hopeless task. I think the good old gers sides would be embarrassed to have watched that performance. You have to have the heart of a lion, be prepared to give your all, and never lie down and accept you are beaten. I always thought this is what made Scottish players unique.



07 Aug 2020 10:54:46
Think you've got rose tinted specs on Muppet. There was many occasions in Europe where the old gers sides were embrassed. Old gers sides much better than our current one.



07 Aug 2020 12:02:24
Muppet how many Scottish players actually played last night for Rangers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.



07 Aug 2020 12:53:12
Cunny that’s half the problem we are not producing the great Scots anymore 😐.



07 Aug 2020 14:38:54
Very true Muppet I blame it on the council, Remember when I was a boy you could play football on any bit o waste ground. Not anymore. All great Rangers teams had a hard core of Scottish players. But sadly as you stated not anymore, Will they days ever come back. Only time will tell, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️😎👍.



07 Aug 2020 08:11:44
Okay guys imagine you are the manager for the game against St Mirren, would you play Morelos who can't be arsed (personally I find that attitude unacceptable) or drop him and play Itten? You already know where I stand!



07 Aug 2020 09:58:08
Muppet I think he has to be dropped. As SG said he wants to concentrate on players who want to be here and now that we have excellent replacements we open a new chapter, thank fredo and wish him well 👋.



07 Aug 2020 09:59:01
Morelos will be on the bench I think along with Roofe, Itten will be looking to hit the ground running and still has match fitness.



07 Aug 2020 10:11:33
The stupidity of Morelos is going to cost us and he himself is too dumb to realise that ultimately it's going to cost him too.

I don't rate Edouard half as highly as the other mob do but seriously does anybody still honestly maintain that Morelos is worth more in the transfer market?



07 Aug 2020 10:19:55
If he starts then Gerrard has to be dropped in my opinion.



07 Aug 2020 10:27:17
I agree with SirStruth that itten will start, with roofe and morelos,
assuming he's still here, on the bench, for our game on sunday against st. mirren👍👌.



07 Aug 2020 13:01:17
I'd bench Morelos, he doesn't look interested anymore, chasing the bigger pay packet and the spotlight as usual. Don't get me wrong, he is an outstanding player and a proven finisher on his day, but he is not a team player and he undermines the manager too often. I think Gerrard has made too many exceptions for Morelos, and it will be bad for team morale. Roofe and Itten sound like they have their head screwed on, and will pay far more respect to SG, which is how it should be. Both will bring qualities to the team which we have been missing. Itten will score more goals on Sunday than Morelos has managed since the start of the year. Morelos is forcing Rangers hand; keep a player who doesn't want to be there, who isn't playing to his usual standards, and who will undoubtedly be affecting the morale of the team, or take a reduced fee which Lille have offered to get rid and salvage what value remains? Then you get the type of player who remians committed to the team, no matter what, proves the value the club have given him, forcing other teams to bid what is asked before another team beats them to the signature.



07 Aug 2020 08:00:58
Time to put this Alfie saga to bed 1 way or the other. And fully focus on the job at hand



07 Aug 2020 07:49:07
No disgrace losing to Bayer Leverkusen. They are a class team. This game was lost at Ibrox earlier this year when our form had dipped domestically as well. Morelos should now be dropped and Roofe and Itten start the game at the weekend. Tavernier should also be dropped, but he won't be. Let's get back to the form we have shown before last night (1-0 wasn't exactly a hiding) and press on.



07 Aug 2020 09:59:12
Unfortunately Doiger I have to agree. On both counts.
On Alf, I thought first half we were playing too safe, but when Barisic put that cross in for him first half, the least I expected was a shot at goal, he didn't try a leg to get there or challenge the defender.
Tav, I've not been one of his long time detractors but we have seen that goal before with him chasing shadows, he defended poorly the germans obviously saw him as the weak link and his distribution was awful. We don't have long to sort this, although decent steps in the striking department maybe?



07 Aug 2020 07:18:59
3 things we've learned from last night.

1. Morelos has to go and soon.

2. Tav needs sold to ensure he's not on the pitch.

3. Gerrard needs to get a backbone and drop his favourites when they are not performing rather than throwing the likes of kamara and katic under a bus.



07 Aug 2020 13:32:05
Jsijenkins well said.



07 Aug 2020 07:13:46
Yes last night wasnt great but at least we made it to the last 16 and in doing so we've secured 2 places for entering the champions league.
Lets back the team and hopefully next year the lads are running out the tunnel to a packed Ibrox bouncing to that champions league tune which has been sadly missed at our stadium in recent years.



07 Aug 2020 06:32:58
I just have feeling that Itten will start on Sunday and this will be Gerrards way of showing Morelos that he may not be 1st choice any longer and that his attitude and goal scoring form isn't good enough and there will also be the danger that any move might fall through going on current form no one wants to buy a striker that isn't scoring and pay big money for them either so he could see himself relegated to the bench and stuck there is the 2 new boys hit the ground running but then any player worth his salt would be working double hard to get back to his best but Morelos just doesn't seem that type of player to me it almost like we've built him up and put him on a pedestal and he now believes that we're hopeless if he doesn't start well i think he's about to find out differently and it seems like Gerrard has just had him fill of morelos and is sick of his bad discipline.



07 Aug 2020 11:01:09
Said before. We won all our preseason games and Morelos didn't score once.



07 Aug 2020 11:27:40
If Morelos starts again for Rangers I will lose all belief in Gerrard, enough is enough!



07 Aug 2020 11:35:42
Aye Ready. I agree with what you posted, Alfie doesn't look interested and if he thinks he's indispensible then he's got a shock coming. I honestly believe that he thought he was away in January and when that didn't happen that's when his mindset changed. If the new lads hit the ground running, and let's hope they do, and then there are no firm bids from anywhere for him, then he's either got to fight for a place or disappear off the radar, bearing in mind he still has some timeto run on his contract!



07 Aug 2020 02:21:32
Gerrard came out saying morelos head has been turned, then why play him?



07 Aug 2020 07:00:29
Because he's our only real recognised striker that could play!



07 Aug 2020 07:03:33
Yeah it does seem strange as it contradicts what Gerrard said about him after the game on Saturday. He shut down a reporter saying how great Morelos has played on Saturday then admitted yesterday that his head has been turned due to transfer speculation. Morelos has been great for Rangers however his time looks up now and it’s better he leaves preferably as soon as possible.



07 Aug 2020 07:11:43
He has no one else to play in that position. When the alternative is Greg Stewart then you have no option but to keep playing Morelos. Stewart is at best a journeyman player who has never had a great goal scoring record and couldn’t get a game in an awful Birmingham side.



07 Aug 2020 07:56:19
He shouldn't, we'd be better with a man down.



07 Aug 2020 08:00:53
No way he should be starting on Sunday. Appalling performances and an appalling attitude. Hopefully the new players come in.



07 Aug 2020 08:16:49
Pleased with signings rangers made so far but if theirs any chance of getting clyne in get him tavernier great going forward but weak link in defence most teams know it most teams the damage comes down that side. needs competition.



07 Aug 2020 08:35:31
Hoping he would play a blinder and get himself sold if a deal has not already been done? We can only hope it has been done and he’s off.



07 Aug 2020 08:52:44
What was his other options?

Morelos' head was gone on Saturday also but people tried to pass it off as tactics, he no longer wants to be here that is clear. However, we have no other options. I see people saying play Kent through the middle or Greg Stewart. don't we constantly see people on here moaning about SG playing people out of their natural position? Hagi off the right side for example, so why are we all of a sudden happy for a winger who's finishing isn't great tbh to play through the middle against a team with the quality of Leverkusen?

Because there is always a good chance that he will snatch a goal. However, on last nights evidence his time is up and we will move on.



07 Aug 2020 09:38:05
Who else would he have played up top?



07 Aug 2020 09:43:15
maybe because the only other option was Stewart.



07 Aug 2020 09:48:54
It was said after the game, which due to performance probably confirmed it, not before the game.



07 Aug 2020 10:09:39
Many slaughter Morelos for being poor. He was.
What about tav Davis Aribo hagi barker Kent Arfield.

Not surprised by the result tonight, but it was a good run overall. We can take heart from the fact that we didn't have our best 11 on the park, and it looked like Gerrard gave some fringe players game time - perhaps a last chance to impress, for the likes of Jones. Positives - Helander was magnificent at the back; Patterson has shown that he can become a top player if given more opportunities over the course of the season, and we will be stronger going forward with the new signings coming on board. Big negative was Morelos' contribution, ok it was a tough side and he was a lone striker, but he looked disinterested, and i really hope a deal with Lille has been agreed in principle, or his value will plummet based on his recent performances. Nothing worse than a player involved in tranfer negotiations, who wants away, putting in rubbish displays, it kind of forces the club to accept a lesser fee to just get rid. I didn't notice it myself, but I've read online that Gerrard completely blanked Morelos tonight when he walked past him after being substituted. Maybe I'm being harsh on Morelos, what are the thoughts of others?



07 Aug 2020 06:33:10
Gers1972, think we’re being bit harsh on Morelos tonight, thought he tried but was well played by their big defenders. With exception of Helander and possibly Jack we were beaten by superior team tonight. Good workout and hopefully we learn from. ,



07 Aug 2020 07:06:37
My thoughts are we will be lucky to get top dollar but he needs to go.



07 Aug 2020 07:41:56
Gers 1972, the answer is simple, don't play him again if it's that bad, we have 2 new strikers ready to go on Sunday, don't even bench him if his attitude is wrong, this is Rangers FC, NOT, Morelos United, he was worse than rotten last night.



07 Aug 2020 07:51:55
I have to agree gers_1972. Although I'm an ALFIE fan. It's now looking like goodnight Vienna.



07 Aug 2020 08:23:00
Why would his value go down because his head had been turned? Morelos himself feels that Rangers went back on a promise in the winter transfer window to let him leave then.



07 Aug 2020 08:38:11
He was bad and has been since new year, we have been waiting since after Dubai on him kicking on, it’s not going to and I’m pretty confident we will replace his 29 goals by spreading them throughout with a better first 11 when he is gone. We have brought in Roofe who we know is quality and itten who is more of an unknown but he is the physical target we all wanted. I think we will do just fine when/ if he moves on.



06 Aug 2020 22:56:41
See Gerrard coming out with the same old same we heard so many times last season when it had all gone to pot. Something along the lines of; most of the team didn’t have the belief they could beat Leverkusen, and were playing way below their best, but we will get it sorted and we will come out all guns blazing next game”. Sorry but if your one of the privileged people earning money the rest of us could only dream about, it’s just not good enough to go out onto that park and not give your all for the club and supporters, it’s unacceptable. Starting to wonder if the manager himself if incapable of motivating the players or worse still they don’t want to play for him. Next few games will tell all.



07 Aug 2020 00:06:43
I jear you bit they did give there all leverkrusen are just a class above a chamos league qaurter final team atleast but like i said before head on for spfl main priority simple.



07 Aug 2020 00:17:22
Come on, they beat us at Ibrox 3-1, we have it a bash tonight but they're far superior to us, especially with how thin our squad was tonight, they only managed the one goal and Goldson was unlucky not to score with his header, they really should have rattled us tonight being at home, although I get the fact that they already had a healthy lead and didn't really need to go on full throttle.



07 Aug 2020 05:39:41
I agree with your comments when we were trying to qualify for the group stage everyone saying what an achievement that would be then if we could get through that would be remarkable now most are saying we didn't perform etc we were beat by a superior team who's budget is 10 times our's be happy we got to the last 16 and move on they have 4 or 5 players worth 60M+ we can't get 10/ 15 for our striker move on guys.



07 Aug 2020 07:46:40
Agreed, the overall shape of the team, worked well enough, and I would ask, what team would any Rangers Fan have played tonight, myself, I would have played Arfield or Jones before Barker, and Haji or Stewart before Morelos based on what we evident after the substitutions.



07 Aug 2020 07:50:06
A good assessment daz. Hard to argue.



07 Aug 2020 08:41:21
can’t we just not accept we were beaten by a far superior side on a different planet some off their players are worth more than our team, yes Morelos didn’t have his best game but take Helender out of it (he had a great game ) none played that great they just couldn't hold onto the ball we created very little from open play Kent and Hagi who have played well up till now struggled Tav had a nightmare but it’s all about Morelos, he has got us to where we got four qualifiers and on to the last sixteen never been done before, if that was Morelos, s last game I wish him well no complaints let get home rest up and be ready for weekend.



06 Aug 2020 22:41:58
Hope the virus doesn't mess the season up this week because doncaster will probably give the manky mob the title on goal difference.
