We have a system that creates very few gilt edged chances up front.
And yet the system allows the opposition ( no matter the quality ) as many gilt edge chances they are prepared to make.
Players off form.
Joe Pirlo preferred over Raskin, Belgium International, getting rave reviews the end of last season - stock will have fallen dramatically with what he is being asked to play in a system that seems to suit absolutely no one. £15 - 20 million was being banded about. What now on current performances.
Igamane - raw, highly sought after individual. Rangers set price ( apparently ) £15 million. What now for a player who isn't even first choice but we should be building our team around. A system though that creates very little chances for the strikers no matter who plays.

Igamane maybe on returning from injury could be the problem Mph, I hope he stays and definitely would be my first choice cf.

I can't wait to read another post where Angus tells us that it's not the tactics that are forcing individual mistakes or Star tell us he needs more time. It's like the chuckle brothers - 'To me, to you'.

Igamane as we saw last night is as exciting as it gets and should start every game from this day on. find a way to play him and dessers together . at least they create chances and score.
20 Aug 2025 15:25:08
He needs time tho for it to click mate ?.
Turned a 15 million player into a 3/ 4 million pound player in 8/ 9 games ?.

'Gilt edged' - that phrase has been a Daily Record staple for decades.
As has "relish" and "lit the blue touch paper".
Sports journo vernacular 101.

Brugge played out from the back every time comfortably. As we just stood off. When we try and do it its a bombscare. Were so easy to play against. Maeda and even boyle will destroy us.

He was a bang average player who spent most his career in the championship, he's signed championship and league 1 standard players but expects them to play like Man City. He's had multiple goes at his team and is now having a go at the fans. Honestly, the best thing we can do is let him go and try again, he's miles off the standard required.
20 Aug 2025 16:07:37
Sad thing is our two best players raskin and igamane will be out the door come the end of the window and either not replaced or replaced with dross.
20 Aug 2025 16:11:10
Coldo why are you concerned about Rangers? turning a 15m player into a 3/ 4 overnight is enough for me Storm.
20 Aug 2025 16:34:12
Calm down Duggan, you've just turned up ?.
20 Aug 2025 16:40:13
Duggan, that's My star and Angus opinion and we all have one mate and should be respected as we can't all agree on everything mate ? They both make valid points imo regarding martin and the rebuild and only time will tell whether martin turns it around or not but i'll say this here and now ie. our american owners won't bow to fan pressure this early and Russell Martin will be given much more time than some are insinuating irrespective of the Celtic result in around a week and a half time ? That's my honest opinion ?.
20 Aug 2025 16:16:14
Duggan ?? it's ground hog day.
20 Aug 2025 16:26:55
Looks a bit overweight tbh.
20 Aug 2025 17:05:02
Deecee igamane done nothing when he came on.
20 Aug 2025 17:33:42
Igamane wants out, can tell by his body language and his attitude.
Plays for himself not the team
Take the money and reinvest.
20 Aug 2025 17:38:33
Iga returned late for pre season overweight, this is the reason he has not started games. EHL can confirm?
20 Aug 2025 18:03:36
Iga had his head turned badly last January after his wee purple patch, and he's never managed to straighten it out again.
20 Aug 2025 18:42:31
SWS thanks for the support but tbh I am more than happy to be criticised by a person who has no self confidence in holding an argument to the extent that he has to change his identity every 2 days. I don't even see his posts as worth responding to unless it is to show them up for what they are.
I have a different view to lots on here but if the club were to sack Martin I would then support whoever else they choose.
I can hear the conversation with Rohl now though.
Rangers: Hi would you like to be our next manager.
Rohl: how long would my contract be?
Gers: we would give you an 8 game rolling contract.
Rohl: why would the contract be that length
Gers: well because we have no patience and want to have success now.
Rohl: but it will take me time to get my systems explained to players and decide who fits best into which position
Gers: well that is the contract as we need to win now.
a bit of sarcasm involved in it as you can see but the principles would be what fans think so how does anyone think that would end up?

Mystar 8/9 games isn't overnight.
