The Gers have rented Recreation Park so they can train & get used to the artificial surface for the game next Sunday.

08 Aug 2015 19:41:07
I'm sure they have an artificial pitch at Murray park

08 Aug 2015 20:40:11
Yip Robbie there is a artificial pitch at the youth side in murray park

08 Aug 2015 21:02:25
We do but the one at Alloa is worse than that a Murray park. So players need to get used to the poorer surface.

08 Aug 2015 21:58:55
yes there is an artifical pitch at murray park ould be surprised if they rent one at alloa

08 Aug 2015 22:54:26
I think It's because recreation park is only 3G but most modern versions are 4G

09 Aug 2015 08:43:29
Well the one at Auchenhowie will be 1G then!

09 Aug 2015 08:45:30
I think I heard one of the bt sport people say we had rented Alloa's park as it was poor in relation to the one at Murray Park. Sounds like a plan to me. Looks like W&W are leaving nothing to chance. Everything about them, from the way the team is set up from the type of players in the squad to our dealings with the media has been all about professionalism. And I think Mark Hateley was spot on when he said the squad is a lot fitter than last year's. Whatever training regime they have in place, it's certainly working. Sorry Walter, you are a legend, but you were wrong to try and defend your buddy

09 Aug 2015 09:51:09
bluebirds your right much as it pains me walter is wrong the the squad is far fitter this season

09 Aug 2015 11:28:50
Dont think you can start to talk about fitness at this stage of the season. The difference for me is not fitness but style of play. Its quicker, with much more movement. Because of this I think the lads look fitter. But for me the problems of Allys team were tactics, style of play and the pace in which they played. I don't think they lacked fitness.

Warburton has a completely different style of football.

09 Aug 2015 12:28:23
I hope Alloa got the rent money up front.

08 Aug 2015 16:26:17
Any thoughts on scrapping the Scott Allan bid and going in with the same money for Charlie telfer . The only reason boy left was mccoist.

08 Aug 2015 16:53:48
Only midfielderwe should be signing is an attacking one

08 Aug 2015 18:08:53
If we have to wait until next year we should be back up and in contention for Europe we should go for ikechi anya

08 Aug 2015 18:17:32
Defo need a Stuart McCall type & a Kris Boyd type. Infact with the quality of the ball into the box I'd suggest (a hopefully revitalised Boyd) would have 5 goals by now.

W&W are doing a potentially wonderful job.

08 Aug 2015 19:00:00
Boyds lack of movement wouldn stop him getting the chances tho, don't think we need a ball winner as halliday can do the job especially when in most matches we willhave 70% poss.

08 Aug 2015 19:01:51
Gary75,

If we have 2 million to spend then Anya is the perfect solution, Rangers fan and already said pre season that he would play in any league, we will not get Scott Allan until January but if it was between him and Anya I would go for Anya or both, 2 million would be a steal for someone who hasn't been great for Watford but would be another aluko up here and imo would be the final piece of the jigsaw. Actually think we could get him for less than 2 mil, probably 1.2 would get him
What do you bears think?

08 Aug 2015 20:31:20
Slight snag Andyboy - we don't have any where near that kind of money.

08 Aug 2015 21:20:48
Hopefully by the time we are back up king will come good with his cash that he promised he is defo the kind of player needed to open defences at a higher level especially with that pace

08 Aug 2015 23:01:00
Thought we had raised close to 10 million from season tickets, wages won't be as high as last year. So there will be something left to invest. Ashley loan has no repayment date or an interest rate so why would we be in a hurry to repay it

08 Aug 2015 15:19:35
Was at the game last night, atmosphere was fantastic and the standard of football was a breath of fresh air to watch, long overdue. However there is no doubt we are vulnerable to the counter attack. A sitting mid is a must, hopefully eustace is the answer if he is to sign. The keeper doesn't look comfortable playing the ball out, I know its early but I don't think playing out from the back will ever suit him. If he is to remain number 1 then W&W need to change his instructions to just get rid. Overall the team are looking well. Onwards and upwards.

08 Aug 2015 14:01:31
any plans to have the predictions comp again this season Ed?

{Ed001's Note - do you mean the correct score one? Because that is up and running yes. Isn't it linked at the top of the page?}

08 Aug 2015 14:53:30
Yes above the first comment on the page

08 Aug 2015 15:05:46
just spotted it ed - thanks

{Ed001's Note - you are very welcome mate, good luck.}

08 Aug 2015 10:43:53
He's Brutal.

08 Aug 2015 10:27:10
Saw in the evening times that Vladimir Weiss would fancy coming back to Rangers once the world cup qualifiers have ended all I can say in the matter is that I would get him back in a heartbeat, great player.

10 Aug 2015 11:23:54
He is a wee ned and not what Rangers need in their new era of playing attacking football and honest hard working players

Allan will be a Ranger in Decemeber when Hibs are roughly 25 points behind us and they sack the one eyed idiot of a manager Stubbs and realise best to sell to us for £100k

08 Aug 2015 09:46:00
Great start to what should be great year. My only concern is that once again we conceded a goal straight through the middle of the defence, starting at halfway line.
Needs sorted.

08 Aug 2015 08:47:04
Great chances created by the team last night, need to drop the bids for Scott Allen and get him on a pre contract and use the money to bring in a quality young striker

08 Aug 2015 05:58:32
Anybody else think waghorn looks better on the right wing. Some really nice football last night but still think we need a tough holding midfielder and a out and out goalscorer.

08 Aug 2015 10:31:13
Yeah I think Clarks been looking sharp even though he's not scored.

07 Aug 2015 22:32:33
Tonight made me realise how terrible the football has been at ibrox since mid 2011.
Rangers fans are amazing, we have all stuck by them went to games and supported them throughout. But it has been demoralising. The football has been embarrassing for years.
The only times I have seen ibrox like that before the game was the final old firm game at ibrox and the final home games against hearts and hibs last season.
But realistically we haven't seen decent football for years.
I was buzzing just watching the football. Fair enough we are Barcelona, but it's good football. And better than the rubbish we have had to put up with.
Overall, very good performance. And a full ibrox is amazing to see. And we will win every home game this season if the atmosphere is like that.
Cmon the gers.

08 aug 2015 09:40:41
agree, mcoist as lucky to get us as far as here . good game good result and hope we can maintain this reat of season.

07 Aug 2015 22:08:08
Brilliant tonight, attack attack attack, great to see, brilliant atmosphere as well, am hoping this all continues, unreal, the change from the past couple of years to now, proud to be a ger, only one down side from tonight, and I'm saying this with a heavy heart, but it's just my feeling after the past few games, I think the way we play is brilliant, fast, short and long passes, keeping the ball, hunting down the opposite players until we get possession, but a think decent strikers will score against us no problem, but we'll score goals against anybody that comes up against us, that's for sure! Just hoping if they score 2 we'll score 3! Well done MW&DW

08 Aug 2015 09:02:48
Have to agree, love the attacking play, it's an absolute breathe of fresh air. Defensively, very shaky, 2 penalties given away in 3 competitive games isn't good enough.

Much more to come I'm sure, we welcome the chase.

07 Aug 2015 22:02:01
Brilliant result, going forward we are great, some things need sorted, but the chances we create are fantastic. This manager ticks all the boxes. I am really excited at our potential and for an auld cynic like me to be excited, that is a rarity.

07 Aug 2015 20:16:56
2-0 gers Wallace with both

07 Aug 2015 19:31:24
sorry folks, not very thoughtful post, BUT JUST WISH STUBBS WOULD KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT

07 Aug 2015 18:45:16
Both Kenny Miller and Darren McGregor suspended tonight, rumour that Kiernan out injured

07 Aug 2015 15:16:49
ibrox is sold out
