Just a quick question for everyone:
Beyond the obvious "whatever formation wins games". What formation would you like to see at Rangers? And what kind of personnel would you like at Rangers? For example would you like a 4-3-3 with wingers in the style of Cerny and attacking fullbacks? Or would you prefer a 3-4-3 with inverted fullbacks etc.
Just random examples of potential set ups but I'm curious to hear what everyone would like to see from a Rangers team.

I think 4-3-3 suits our league and gives us a platform to be adaptable in Europe.
A 6 and two 8's with plenty of width for majority of games - pivot (pun intended) to two 6's and and 8 when we are against better opposition.

442 or 4411.

433 does not suit us in the league. We have struggled for years in our domestic game trying to play any sort of 433.
4312 would my choice for Domestic games because teams surrender a lot of width to us so I don't think we need to overload the wide areas. Europe is a different game so 433 would suit Europe.
I think its really important that we have a manager who can adapt tactics and build a squad to suit various set ups instead of us being a one trick pony.
14 May 2025 05:49:02
I don't think we should have just one set formation. This has been the problem with a few managers having only one way of playing, no plan B
Etc….
14 May 2025 06:47:00
Agreed 100% EHL.
But 433 does not suit this league we play? but the champions have used 433 winning the league the last 6/ 7 season maybe longer, no sense.
14 May 2025 06:53:55
Cathkin Celtic play it and have done for years. You say it doesn't work then suggest a variation of it? This site is wild at times.

One up top in Scotland at Ibrox is absolutely criminal it's been out downfall for seasons, zero space, absolutely no coincidence we play far better in Europe mainly, not enough midfielder runners in our team to use one up top, bring back two strikers, be it a 4-4-2 or a
3-5-2 we badly lack people in the box supporting the strikers, and please God let us sign traditional wingers this season.
14 May 2025 07:37:06
433 as EHL says one 6 and two 8s domestically and abit more conservative when playing in Europe of at parkheed.
In terms of players we need strong athletic players especially in the full back and forward positions.
14 May 2025 08:15:32
I agree with EHL formations 433 with a combination of 4231 which worked in the past
Using a high back line using a single pivot in the like of diamonde with the attacking full backs and a good number 10 and we need good wingers stretching play going forward
4231 we used more agonist the weaker opposition
Under Gerrard and it worked
Is it not strange some like this formation and it's the formation Steven adopted when he came here and we started to raise our games domestically and in Europe when he switched between the 2 and we were losing less goals than we do now?
Again I have said past couple weeks no matter who the manger is we also need the right players brought in for the right positions needs to be bang on we have the right players we may be able to adapt different formations to play different opposition
EHL you have my vote to be next manager mate it be only be one vote but you have to start somewhere ?.

Rangers can play 1333 for all i care as long as they win all that matters.
14 May 2025 08:27:19
I don't think it's anything to do with formations I think it's more to do with 11 players doing their best for the team.
14 May 2025 09:48:33
I would go 3-5-2 which easily converts to 5-3-2 with wing backs if we are under pressure.
14 May 2025 09:54:17
433 suits Celtic. 433 hasn't worked for us for a few years. Perfect sense.
14 May 2025 10:00:45
I never said 433 doesn't suit our league?. I said 433 doesn't suit us in our league. What's with people not reading posts properly??.
14 May 2025 10:03:09
4312 is not a variation of 433. 433 variations play with 1 striker. I have suggested 2 strikers. It is wild on here?.
14 May 2025 12:21:29
Formation was used when Rangers won the league?
14 May 2025 14:24:49
Yes it was. The last 4 year though we have struggled playing 433. Oh my days mate? Go and read my orginal post ???.
14 May 2025 15:54:23
In the last 5 years 433 has won us the league once! 1 out of 5 does not make it successful for us! I think your picnic is missing a sandwich or two mate??.
14 May 2025 16:18:46
More than the last five seasons teams playing 433 has won the league, oh your days lol, try making a little sense then.
14 May 2025 16:28:56
Go with Barry's
4-2-3-4-1-2-1 formation ?.
14 May 2025 19:27:19
Yes St.
14 May 2025 19:30:18
Yes Star 433 works for Celtic. It does not work for us. Why is that hard for you to get? We have played 433 since warburton. So in 10 years of us playing 433 we have won the league once. How does that not make sense to you?
