IMHO lads we have no real Rangers identity in our team now or in the last few years - our winning teams in past consisted of players/ managers who knew what it was to play for the jersey or support the team - Bomber, Souness, McLeish, Cooper, Ferguson, Greig, McCoist, Goram, Gough list goes on -what do you think McGregor instils in his players when they huddle before a game? - he doesn't want to lose to anyone he is not merely there for a wage or worrying which restaurant he will be seen at that night - he is very aware that 2nd is last in Glasgow and until we can get players who want to win at all costs I am afraid it will be same as same as!
PC please get a true Captain in who hates to lose and as has been done by Souness - get a spine to the team with leaders in defence midfield and attack - when going gets tough we shrink and hide and its a lot of the same serial losers who have this trait imo - when times were tough in past sometimes all it takes is to fire into a fair but tough tackle or chase a lost ball down and never give up and get the crowd on our side and to lead by example and not just blame or finger point - they will come at us like that at Parkhead and Hampden its how we react that f**ks me off - for desire and a hate to lose comes from within and am sorry to say that when we are at business end of season the usual so called leaders show no real fire or desire or hunger from within- they just look for someone to blame.
Yes we as a club maybe cannot afford the Billy Big name costly players who have this hunger and desire but there are players out there who will have that drive and who hate to lose so let's get scouting right and return our club to truly where it should be - I hate the fact that THEY are not a great side but by the way way we have folded and lost points against Mwell R Cty Dundee in times of need makes them look top dollar and look good - you get out of a game what you put in and in these games we never showed up and put the required effort in.
THEY are one of the poorer Celtic teams I have seen in last good few years so what does that truly say about us our desire and commitment to hunting them down and putting pressure on them - we have had our chances to stay on top and have shat the bed big time - We NEED to turn up against them both times in coming months at least to show the fans that we can compete and let's not crawl under the rock when going gets tough in these games - on to Killie game 1st - a MUST win at all costs?.

They are not a good team, but we are worse!
For a team who had the league title there for the taking, we blew it big time. Honestly, we have been truly awful since be beat hearts, and we don't deserve to win anything. We are a team littered with cowards, with a mentality so frail, a feather could break it.
I'm going to say it again. Until we bin Tav as captain, rid the team of cowardly lightweight like Barisic and Goldson, we are never going to establish ourselves as winners. We have too many senior players in that team whose minds have been poised with continuous failure and mediocrity, and if we continue on with them, then failure is all we're ever going to achieve.

Do you think the current players like losing? Cal Mac is a ranger fan lol.

All the names you listed were Scottish, we lost that identity a while ago. Also playing football is not the draw it was 20 -30 years ago, and there are not that many young players who have playing for Rangers or Celtic for that matter top of their list when poor English teams can offer them riches to see them to their old age.

We had McGregor, David, Jack, Arfield and still won hardly anything.

That's true, MPH, but we could beat the tims (home and away)! Nowadays, we can't lay a glove on them, and scraped a draw at home.

Raise, we've certainly blew it. 10 points dropped from the Motherwell game. Celtic were there for the taking this season.

Spot on RTR Tav, Goldson definitely need to go, Lundstram and Borna probably already gone, there may well be a few more, who? Anybodies guess.
29 apr 2024 13:07:55
spot on as per mark
if we dint win there has to be a reason this team collapsed over a 3 or 4 week period, , did pc tell some they wouldn't be here, did lundstrum, goldson et al have arrangements made fir next season?
I've not heard of one celtic player being told he's gone, or any talk about players leaving
its a daily occurance here, how many have been packing while playing fir a title?

Do we know for definite that he told players they can go, or is it just guesswork or an excuse as to why we sre pants?
