I think it's pointless running a poll as I believe non Rangers men will ruin it.
After PC confirming no more signings until we sell, what are our expectations. Who thinks we can win the league with this squad? Where do posters see us finishing?
As I always ask, think with your head not your heart!

At this point in time mate it is unlikey we win the SPL. There is no evidence to support an argument in our favour at the moment. We would need some negative happenings at Celtic like them selling CCV Hatate Kyogo O riley etc and replaceimg them with duds for us to gain an advantage. It is football though so there is always a chance, low, but never the less a chance.

It’s not possible to win the league with the current squad. It’ll be more than 10 points.
I’m holding back on the final judgement until the start of September but if we don’t sign better players then I’d propose playing the kids and at the very least trying to proper develop them.
I don’t believe Stevens, Lovelace, Rice and Ishaka can be as bad as Lawrence or Wright.
17 Aug 2024 11:00:32
Celtic miles ahead. Us battling with aberdeen for 2nd is my honest opinion.
17 Aug 2024 11:04:35
We will stroll 2nd.
But the points gap to first could be huge.
Though never say never. We’ve seen teams click at other times throughout history and go on a title winning run.
17 Aug 2024 11:16:58
@sunshine supporter can't see this team winning anything.
Paul86 think it might be a three way fight for second place sheep Hertz n us. Breaks my heart to say.
17 Aug 2024 11:19:02
Lovelace rice Shaka all returning from being out for months.
If we believe everthing on here op six would be ok.
17 Aug 2024 11:48:31
I agree with Dado, one thing I believe a lot of our support accept we currently don’t have the quality to challenge them, but what we do believe is that we don’t regress even more by playing players that couldn’t get games last season or continually playing players that are way past there best, I’d rather have three or four of our best young players being given the backing of the manager and hopefully a sustained run in the team, and maybe we might get that natural confidence that comes with youth coming into our team.
I d speak a lot to fellow Rangers fans and you can see the deflation when the likes of Wright, Matondo and Davies are played or brought on before a young player in this current situation, I don’t believe those three for example are going to all of a sudden offer us something different than before, this is where the manager will come in for a bit of criticism if he does not make brave decisions especially st this point. And the Tav situation is another one that so far he seems unable to make what no doubt is a difficult decision, but one he will have to make in order for us to stop being targeted on that side, it will only get worse as the season goes on.

We will definitely finish 2nd at least. No matter the Financial gulf between us and Celtic, we are still miles ahead of hearts financially. Problem is we do not recruit well. We play Celtic 4 times a season in the league. With our players and budget we should still beat everyone else most weeks.
The mentality is all wrong at Rangers. Confidence on the pitch is rock bottom. Things can change quickly. It's only a few years ago Celtic fans were demanding the board was sacked and Lennon sacked. PC needs to get this team playing better football. There's never any one touch passing apart from young Barron. It just slows everything down, endless passing between the back 4 and keeper then a long ball to nobody. The football being played currently is no better than it was under Beale. Whatever we think of some players at the club, they are still supposed to be professional footballers. They surely must be able to change the way they are playing with the right coaching. Apologies for a bit of a rant.

As it stands I don’t think we are likely to win the league. However there is time for movement both ways for us (allowing us to improve) the 1st 11. We are also more reliant on players recovering from injury which again could have a huge bearing on the season.
I also think Celtic will lose O’Reilly and won’t get the same level of replacement, so there is cause for optimism.
17 Aug 2024 12:04:58
I said to my son after hearts game no more signings Celtic win league by atleast 15 points and I honestly believe we will have a fight for 2nd. I think we will still come 2nd but closer than last year.
17 Aug 2024 12:13:17
We still have a few players supporters want rid of but we have replaced 4 players with LB/ lw, def mid, right wing and centrehalf with player everyone wanted or said was an upgrade, looking at that then we must be better than last year according to most people’s logic
Younger squad with possible sell on options
Yes we need to grow as a team but yes we can win the league, would I take more good players, yes of course
Onwards and upwards l let’s win each game at a time and grow together.
17 Aug 2024 12:16:55
We are good enough for second, miles from first. I don't think there will be many of us believing we can win the league (thinking with there head) I honestly wish I could say that I see the direction we are heading and our philosophy, which could maybe make this season a bit more bearable, but I don't. We seem to be stumbling from one bad decision to the next, on and off the park.
17 Aug 2024 12:23:08
We don't get another couple of quality players in we finish second again, but far more chance of us winning the league than finishing 3rd.
17 Aug 2024 12:24:13
2, 3 or 4 probably.
17 Aug 2024 12:35:15
Everyone on here would love to top the league, however realistically we are going to struggle beating them… Unless a miracle happens over the next couple of weeks and we off load our high earner and we bring in quality players for peanuts. ??.
17 Aug 2024 13:35:20
There isn’t my star no more players in we will finish closer to 3rd than 2nd a blind man can see that.
17 Aug 2024 13:36:45
I cannot understand for most of last season, we thought we could win the SPL, we sold or let go players who have not been replaced by as good . PC wants others out.
17 Aug 2024 13:46:30
I'm sure he didn't say we wouldn't be making more signings and said that we wouldn't bring in a LB specifically to replace Ridvan as we have Jefte and Fraser.
We have to accept second I'm afraid as relying on Matondo, Wright, McCausland, Lawrence and Tav just isn't going to win the league on top of EL games. NO quality in the starting 11 mainly never mind depth. But we won't be a close second as some seem to think.
17 Aug 2024 13:51:27
Cool storm we will finish closer to celtic than 3rd will to us.
17 Aug 2024 14:31:15
All I'll say is, it's imperative that we qualify for Europe at the end of the season, we can't live as it stands with domestic income only, also we won'tb attract players of any note to play in the SPL without European Football.
17 Aug 2024 14:37:39
We're winning nothing this season and I can honestly see them winning the league by 15+ points.
17 Aug 2024 14:49:31
OK, my opinion. We won't win anything thos season, and I expect it to be one of the worst in recent years. The tims will stroll it, and although I don't think hearts and hibs will do anything, the sheep will push us hard for 2nd.
If we finish 3rd, and PC is still here, is there anyone on here who still believes in him, still prepared to back him? If and buts, I know, but it's a big possibility.
17 Aug 2024 17:15:32
I'd be amazed if we won the league. We're way behind Celtic.
17 Aug 2024 18:07:37
If we finish 3rd PC should resign never mind be sacked.
