What's going on in this place fans implying it's acceptable to be 11th because we are only a couple of points of 3rd ?♂️ it's not even acceptable to be 3rd ?.
Do I think we will be 11th come May's no we won't but hopefully we will have a new manager by may.
21 Sep 2025 21:33:23
Storm never said acceptable but the drama queens r ridiculous.
21 Sep 2025 21:34:31
Martin had made the same mistake every single manager that has come into Rangers since McCleish, under estimate the Scottish League.
He has brought in average players to replace better players that were not good enough. And has brought in boys to play in a man's league.

Correct John yet another overly dramatic attempt to show that Martin isn't the right manager. no-one has said that 11th is acceptable but was used as a way of showing that we are also just 2 points off 3rd and only 5 matches into the season. 2nd isn't acceptable either imo but it is where we have ended up in every 1 of 13 seasons since we came back up. Fans persuaded (ahem) the last board to sack manager after manager so perhaps fans need to let the new owners try a new approach and see if it works as the last way definitely didnt.
or carry on stamping your feet as you are not getting your own way. no skin off my back either way.

We are 11th and folk think others are being drama queens about it. Jesuse wept!
21 Sep 2025 22:04:37
Zikos, I wouldn't say he's underestimated the league or that he's brought in poor player - actually really like the look of our squad at the moment.
I think he's misunderstood our game though and been caught out as his preferred system fundamentally won't work - furthermore I think it's taken him longer than it should have to adapt.
21 Sep 2025 22:32:21
Zikos u having a laugh. Gassama n antman who's no featured but ye can see his potential to be a top player. The new striker n bojan both top quality players. Cornelius n aasgard both proven internationals. Bit ae a mad statement that.
21 Sep 2025 23:50:59
Franco on what basis are you saying chermiti is a top quality player?
22 Sep 2025 00:10:28
Didn't Walter Smith and Ally McCoist come into the managers job after McLeish. I don't think they would underestimate the league . I don't think Gerrard, Gio or Clement did either.
22 Sep 2025 06:56:21
I'm not saying all signings have/ will be poor. But generally we have downgraded in certain positions and now Martin is quickly backtracking to players we already had like Tav and Raskin. It was Martins expectation for Aarons and Rothwell to replace them.
Add in Methoma, Gassama and Moore who are all very technically gifted but are wee boys that atm are not up for the fight in my eyes. Having one player that's is not up to the level physically in our league is ok but having so many is very risky and likely to be bullied out of games. As has been the case against Dundee and St Mirren.
He has 100% points underestimated the league in my view.
22 Sep 2025 08:04:39
Don't think people are saying that Storm, but people saying we won't be second or even in top 3 or 4 are deluded. Hearts are looking ok, but they said that about Aberdeen last year and look what happened.
22 Sep 2025 08:14:44
John that wasn't me calling you out. Don't need to take it so personally. Also drama queen ?? you are one of the biggest drama queens on here as you go in the huff a lot and say your aren't posting because of words from people. Again not having a go that's stating a fact.
Angus again you are wrong it's not over dramatic at all it's stating a fact and you like stating facts on here all the time. I never mentioned 2nd tho I agree it's not acceptable to be second but you and others made a big deal out of us only being 2
Points off 3rd as if it was acceptable ?
Angus you say you don't back the manager but every post says otherwise and you can dress it up whatever way you like but it's the truth.
It wasn't even having a go at the manager really it's just my opinion that I hope we get a new one tho I hope Saturday is a catalyst for Martin turning around and I'll will be one of the 1st to post on here and say I got it wrong.
Franco you can't say the young boy we signed from Everton is a top quality player there is no evidence of that whatsoever. He may well turn out to be but nothing suggest he is at the moment.
22 Sep 2025 08:29:47
Zikos Meghoma wasn't even here when we played Motherwell or Dundee ?. Neither he nor Gassama have looked physically vulnerable in all of the games I have watched.
we also needed a bigger squad to provide competition so by buying Aarons and Rothwell we did that. Tav for one needed competition so he was made to play as well as he can. I see it as a positive that he has done that and is keeping Aarons out the team. Rothwell and Raskin played in the same team in the first few games so don't think he was seen as a replacement for Raskin.
how can any manager underestimate the league when everyone knows that 10 of the teams play the ball long to their CF and look to feed off that. maybe a bit sweeping in that statement but think that is why people think we need to be physical. if Martin's has now adapted his style then perhaps we can see better performances and results after Saturday.
22 Sep 2025 09:26:16
Aye and if Falkirk win their game in hand we are 3 points from 3rd bottom.
And if Hibs win their game in hand we will be 5 points from 3rd.
And if Dundee utd win their game in hand we will be 4 points from 4th.
If you think any of those scenarios are acceptable after only 5 games then standards have fallen.
New manager, new players or not, we should not be 2nd bottom.
22 Sep 2025 10:44:33
Correct john, its 5 games in , league has scarcely started,
bit like 2 days into summer window, nobody signed yet, we must be going out of business lol . nobody at all says 11th is acceptable, but it's not unusual. i'm about as concerned about the league as i am about tomorrow's weather, it ain't even warmed up yet.
22 Sep 2025 11:33:47
Love it storm. I'm proud to be called a drama w queen. First time in over 70 years.
22 Sep 2025 11:35:15
Mr ph if if if try facts.
22 Sep 2025 12:06:02
Mph correct.
Nothing like that at all TT completely different to transfer window. We are zero points behind anyone two days into transfer window we are 9 points behind hearts and Celtic but I it's the same ?.
22 Sep 2025 12:13:44
I not calling him out but i will still having a pop anyway, deary dear ?.
