Butland, pass
Tav, bad delivery, gd pen, poor
Djiga, just naw
Manny, needs games
Aaron's, Meghoma is better
Barron, pass worked hard
Raskin, Where's he went?
Dio, was OK, needless red.
Gassame, flatters to deceive
Chermiti, poor positionally
Danilo, wasted out wide, poor
Aasgard, offers nothing
Antman, bereft of confidence
Miovski, not the same guy
Meghoma, better option on left

Rohl, why wait so late to change things up, dio's card was in the post. We never stretched the game when they went down to 10, 2nd to everything for long spells, poor overall show against a poor team that took 2 of celtic.

28 Nov 2025 08:00:18
The players are just not good enough. Dio is a waste of a jersey and Chermiti reminds me of the time Souness got duped into signing George Weah's cousin. Its another full rebuild between January and the summer. How are we going to move these players on?

28 Nov 2025 08:12:37
Usually find you spot on mate, but can't agree with all that, think Gasamma is raw but good,
Your player summary overall is fairly accurate but i'd say Rohl has done a fairly stellar job with what he took on. I seen Djiga play good twice and both on the left. He looks clearly like he just doesn't want to be there so send him back ASAP. I like the look of Fernandez so far. Thought Aarons was actually OK last night apart from no being able to put a left footed cross in.

The wind played havoc last night but they're a decent team at this level and thought that we made them look bad, high press seemed to work and apart from a couple of Butland saves and a few defensive errors, we should have won the game comfortably. Also thought Dio was good and unlucky to get sent off. Agree about Raskin.

28 Nov 2025 08:23:36
I'll be relieved to get through december without losing any more ground on celtic. Need a whole new team. Hopefully Rohl turns out be as good as everyone on here seems to think.

28 Nov 2025 08:29:24
I never even seen the game mate because I was steaming but at least we never got beat.

28 Nov 2025 08:31:02
Fork, I'm of the opinion that the sooner we're out of Europe, the better. This squad isn't good enough to compete on the domestic and European front.

We have some really poor players in that squad.
A lot of work to do in January.

28 Nov 2025 08:37:41
Poor players all over the park. Most positions look downgrades from last season. Huge window coming up.

28 Nov 2025 08:59:10
I didn't think Tav was bad, honestly not saying he was outstanding but I've watched him play worse.

We are awful all over the park, hard to see anybody wanting the players Thelwell signed and full credit to Rohl for getting some sort of performance out of them.

28 Nov 2025 09:05:27
Rangers were the better team when both had 11 men, Chermiti had a good first half, didn't think Danilo was poor either, Gassama was our most dangerous player last night,

28 Nov 2025 09:11:08
Just positionally Chermiti was poor? he's absolutely rotten mate 😂😂 no ifs no buts. he's garbage. Along with Djiga. We currently have 3 strikers combined transfers of about 17mill and none of which are even close to good enough. Will lose millions on them all.

28 Nov 2025 09:31:22
not much i can disagree with Rohl has the same problem as the past managers trying to offload players that imo are not good enough but are going to stay because of the wages they are on.

28 Nov 2025 09:50:51
Would agree with your assessment Fork, Dio should have been replaced after they went down to 10 men and god only knows why he is persevering with Aasgaard.

28 Nov 2025 10:00:01
Thought big Fernandez was half decent last night for his first test at that level. Would love to see him with someone semi assured next to him as neither Souttar or Djiga are that for me.

28 Nov 2025 10:15:17
Agree Fork.
Said when Dio picked up yellow for stupid lunge take him off. Offered very little and knew he'd pick up a second.
Our squad is so poor and it'll be manager who'll start taking the heat for them sooner or later as we'll not see much progress with this bunch.

28 Nov 2025 10:29:04
Look on the bright side Fork, we're up to 33rd. 😁.

28 Nov 2025 10:43:12
Boomerang is back with another user name eh SimonRfc, I really am staring to feel sorry for you now coldo.

28 Nov 2025 10:47:06
CP175, Fernandez wasn't bad last night mate, but his partner shouldn't be seen in a Rangers jersey again, Fernandez Rcb Nsiala Lcb against Falkirk, or even Tavernier playing cb on Sunday.

28 Nov 2025 10:48:06
Thought Gassama ran into trouble a few times Baz when there were options, seems to go to ground to easy, trying to hard maybe? Kind of agree Mark, agree about Rohl Dado but still think we needed to stretch it n change up earlier, albeit limited options on the bench, agreed Gers.

28 Nov 2025 10:52:30
Think your a bit harsh on Gassama thot he did well considering he had nothing to aim for when he gets to by line Chermiti is in his own wee world. Can't argue with the rest.

28 Nov 2025 10:53:56
Thought Danilo was isolated Star and couldn't impact things out there. Chermiti positinally I thought was poor, but worked away, yes Gassama done well but runs into trouble at times when options available bud.

28 Nov 2025 11:07:17
Fork, Danilo worked his arse off mate, done well are linking up and a few nice touches, he should have scored though but was not an easy chance but he should have buried it, Chermiti wasn't as bad as he's getting made out on here.

28 Nov 2025 11:11:13
For some reason Diomonde seems to get of free compared to others.

28 Nov 2025 11:15:11
Still thought we'd have got more from him more central bud.

28 Nov 2025 11:36:53
Probably Fork, but honestly felt he wasn't our worst of even close to it, Watp, Diomande can play mate.

28 Nov 2025 11:44:53
Paul86 - Bang on re Chermiti - the lad will go down in history as more than likely Gers worst ever signing pound for pound🤔Thelwell should have been jailed never mind sacked for sheer dereliction of duty!

28 Nov 2025 12:03:34
Chermiti was terrible, offered nothing. Gassama is a trier but just doesn't have the ability to play for Rangers. Aasgaard offers nothing and Djiga is worse than Souttar. Not one summer signing is any good. All need moved on.

28 Nov 2025 12:40:56
Gassama set up a couple of chances last night, not his problem others couldn't take advantage of it.

28 Nov 2025 12:41:00
Gassama for me at present is overrated. Sporadic in games. Turning up every other game or just the big ones no use. Decision making deplorable at times. Chermiti worked hard, won in balls in the air but agree with positioning and runs does not have that natural gift.
No creativity in and around box. Still to static in box at corners and free kick. Easy to defend against.
Thought Aaron's did well on the left for it not being his natural side. Djiga wouldn't start for me, I would give Nsiala a run.

As for players we could have got as mentioned above just shows the state we are in. We are willing to settle for mediocrity.
The issue is we spent money unwisely and brought in inferior quality.

28 Nov 2025 07:46:55
Hi everyone, listen it's not just Djiga nearly the whole team IMO, can't hold onto the ball hardly creating chances leaking like a sive at the back including the keeper. Yes the manager has come in and managed to get some results and I think he will be an excellent appointment.

Nobody says it much but for me the midfield are a massive let down for me Raskin and Dio, are not nearly as good as a lot of people think. Next to nothing coming from them in every game. Need more much more.

28 Nov 2025 08:21:57
Starts at the back and pervades through the whole team. Whole defence simply do not inspire confidence and still hold the ball far too long, waiting till they are closed down, then panic pass or simply hoof forward. The midfield don't appear commanding enough for me. If you want the ball, take it from defenders and move forwards. Also felt they were too narrow all game. Endeavour but ultimately nonproductive.
Strikers again were fairly anonymous.

Closing down was better, but that's as good as it gets.
DR has a massive job on to move out those he doesn't want (and at this point which other club will), and finding 'permanent' replacements across the park who can perform better.
Again a huge disappointment for me has been that the opposition bar Roma have been fairly ordinary in Europe, and it's going to be a huge loss in terms of extra income. We however are currently not even that.

28 Nov 2025 08:40:14
The luck in the league will run out at some point if we keep being so poor.
Fortunate against Livingston and Falkirk for me a better outfit will cause us problems, so soft at the back with next to no threat up front.
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if we drop points to on Sunday.
Even with injuries I hope Rohl takes Djiga out the team, he's giving a goal away every game, Tav could slot in with Aarons at right back, not ideal but looks a safer option.


With Mikey Moore being out we look to be the same toothless team from middle to front, before he got injured I felt the boy was coming into a bit of form and he is direct and takes people on and creates a bit of space.
Even though he's young and raw I hope he isn't out that long cause him and Gassama are the only ones I see with a wee spark,
And the last few games Gassama has not been at his best but maybe we are expecting a bit too much from him.

28 Nov 2025 10:52:50
Agree with that Macnaughton. Later in first half when we had more width we started to cause them problems and utilised the space well and created some decent opportunities but no end product.

They barely created anything from about 20 mins until they got the player sent off. That seemed to fire them up and we crumbled and started letting them create again. Really odd game overall. If ever there was a question about the lack of strong mentality in this squad, last night just proved it again.

I genuinely don't think many of these players are as bad as they appear but confidence is really lacking still. The manager really has a job on his hands. I'd recommend a cold water swim in Loch Lomond and a wee walk in the hills.

28 Nov 2025 13:05:41
Robbie C are you actually Robbie T? Djiga sold that game last night with an error as bad as any you will see and it wasn't his only one and it certainly wasn't his first. The defence is leaking like a sieve but if it wasn't for the keeper we would have been on the end of more and even bigger defeats. Strange that you mention the keeper and the midfield who without being brilliant last night was the only section of the team that functioned like it should.

Between Djiga at the back and those two muppets up front who cost us the best part of £15million it doesn't take much to work out why we didn't win that game by a couple of goals last night.

28 Nov 2025 07:30:52
As we have an affiliation with Leeds via the 49ers wondering if Cavanagh and co will look to tap into there scouting department to assist in sorting business for Jan window? My main concern is clearing out the players who haven't delivered in order to reinvest.

28 Nov 2025 08:16:22
Borders, we signed an agreement saying their is not affiliation as part of the takeover.

28 Nov 2025 17:24:04
Fair enough, do remember chat about making sure the two clubs where run as separate entities but didn't appreciate it was to that extent, cheers for the info ehl.

28 Nov 2025 07:39:34
{Ed's Note - ScouserInFrance has posted a new article entitled, Liverpool's Collapse Under Slot Reaches a New Low

28 Nov 2025 06:48:09
Can we now all accept that Djiga is and always has been a terrible defender.
I was honestly amazed when a number of people were arguing that he was good.
Terrible, terrible defender.

28 Nov 2025 07:02:35
Right OK you win and you're the bestist.
Have a digital dram on me 🥃.

28 Nov 2025 07:04:00
He's awful his mistake for the goal was embarrassing.

28 Nov 2025 07:19:00
Mistake for his goal then his pass out wide that was intercepted almost cost another goal. Exactly the same as the pass to the livi player last weekend. he's honestly horrific.

You could be playing Aarons/sterling right back and tav in CH instead if Djiga,

28 Nov 2025 07:38:56
Djiga and Aarons are not the standard we need in there - feel sorry for Rohl having to deal with this calibre of player in interim- God how badly have we regressed in most departments 🤔We actually needed some experience like a Jordan Henderson type for a period of time to galvanise midfield and defence and get them playing as functioning units and not headless chickens imho - he probably took one look at any tapes of us and said.

NO THANKS LADS😫
As for Chermiti - sorry but that fella does not have one ounce of football brain in his noggin- CATASTROPHIC waste of funds.

28 Nov 2025 08:47:08
Djiga body language is the worst thing about him look like he does care.

28 Nov 2025 09:22:00
I don't doubt that Djiga has potential but Rangers is not the right place for him. He should have been loaned to a English Championship side that aren't in the promotion fight where there is less pressure than the Ibrox goldfish bowl.

28 Nov 2025 09:24:46
We all knew something was wrong in the first couple of minutes with Djiga in Brugge home match… A big ball through the middle and he didn't fancy it and ran away from it, making Butland look dreadful.

28 Nov 2025 01:30:54
Letting balogun go to sign Djiga is criminal to sign big Leon for another year it would of cost £260k rumours are Djiga is going to cost north of £2.5million at least for a season 😭.

28 Nov 2025 05:08:18
Djiga has been abysmal for us and how wolves paid as much for this centre half i'll never know 👎 Regarding big Fernandez, he's a bit raw but i think there's potential there for him to become a good centre half 🤔 Balogan and goldson still streets ahead of any current centre half we have at Ibrox just now 🤔In january our priority must be to sign to good/experienced centre halfs and if we can, get Djiga back down the road to wolves 🙏.

28 Nov 2025 05:31:50
Probably one or the reasons that Kev has left the building.

28 Nov 2025 07:06:42
So many posters wanted goldson gone and were delighted when he left - nobody better has come in since / fans moaned about balogun saying too injury prone - I would have kept both - Djiga so bad.

28 Nov 2025 08:16:57
Good points Superally, apart from his age and injuries, Balogun has been the best defender we've had for years. Only thing is he could only manage 10-15 games a year realistically, should maybe have made him player coach.

28 Nov 2025 08:17:05
Connor Goldson i always rated as a very good centre half 👌.

28 Nov 2025 09:30:48
Was Goldson not let go to save wage bill?
Djiga is probably worst CB seen at Ibrox. Aasgaard is a luxury player - one who plays in a winning team. Barron should be first name on the team sheet. Why is Cameron not getting more game time? Rothwell doesn't look fit.


Diomande is a liability. Chermiti sadly looks a waste of money. Miovsky is a mystery but if he can regain some form might come good. Some others need to put on some big boy pants and turn up! Rant over.

28 Nov 2025 09:50:41
stop looking back guys, we wanted shot of goldson, many on here said he was a liability. Balogun too injury prone and was also time to go, we recruited badly and that's what needs sorted. we should not hang on to the hasbeens because of poor recruitment. we need to get the right people in.

the salary goldson was on meant he had to leave at the time. could we have kept him with the new owners who knows but i think there is better out there for the same or less money.

28 Nov 2025 10:05:19
Goldson wasn't the player he was at the end and yes we haven't brought in better, but therein lies the problem the recruitment!
You have to replace with better and not downgrades, same all over the pitch.

28 Nov 2025 00:31:58
Thought I'd post my take on tonight. First 15-20 mins we were too passive. From there until the red card we were by far the better team and after the red we took the foot off the gas.

Onto individuals, Barron for me was the best player on the park. Djiga was by far the worst. I think Fernandez was solid without being spectacular and I thought Tav was poor in terms of set piece delivery. Raskin was terrible and Dio has become a liability in terms of discipline. Danilo should have scored first half but done little other than that. I thought Chermiti linked play well but chance taking was poor although limited opportunities.

I think Gassama could be unreal if he stops the diving and we need a left footed left back, Aarons cutting in screwed us so many times. Aasgaard is a man down at this point.

Djiga and Aarons loans should be ended, Rothwell, Aasgaard and Antman should be told to find new clubs. The big one for me and this has been on my mind a bit for the last few months is maybe it's time to shift Dio on, Barron and Raskin at the base of midfield can offer the energy we need maybe not the technical quality but I'll put my neck on the line and say Barron is a better passer than Raskin.

In terms of CB we need one at least in January to replace Djiga with Souttar and Cornelius out. A LB to replace Aarons and compete with Meghoma. A natural RW, preferably both footed, a creative 10, an experienced and natural 6 and if we can shift one of the 3 strikers a new CF.

28 Nov 2025 01:50:35
We need 2 starting cb's in Jan.

I suggest Katic as one.

Maybe go fix as a 4rh choice, seriously we need to go back to basics.

Banangame would do a job.

Shankland too.

McKenna. Porteous and Katic as one with another who can play and costs a few quid.

We need a partnership like Rio and vidic
Terry and carvalho
Cuellar and Weir

Hyppia and Cara

Campbell and keowm

A ball player and a big solid ugly defender

We need a left back

We need one dominating cm and 2 wingers and a striker

So that's 7 starters

Only ones who survive are butlamd Tav Raskin and Barron.

28 Nov 2025 02:39:41
Gogic* as 4th.

28 Nov 2025 05:13:00
Totally agree Ayrshire 👍barron not for the first time was our best player last night and we most definitely do need his constant energy in the middle of the park 🤔He has a cracking engine/attitude and that's the type of player every team needs in their midfield 🤔We need to look at players who undoubtedly can play in this league and big gogic of st.

mirren for the domestic games, wouldn't be a bad signing at all 🤔.

28 Nov 2025 08:42:17
I agree on Katic

He may not be the most talented CB in the world. He may not be the best at playing the ball out from the back but he can at least defend.

I didn't want us to get rid of him in the first place.

28 Nov 2025 09:12:50
Agree Ayrshire, I don't think we'll bring in. 5 or 6 in next window, probably cb and lb and maybe winger, line to see Cameron and Curtis get some game time.
5 or 6 in the summer for sure.

28 Nov 2025 00:30:23
Difference in line ups since last time we played Braga just shows how poor recruitment has been

Butland (McGregor)
Tav (Tav)
Djiga (Goldson)
Fernandes (Bassey)
Aarons (Barisic)
Barron (Jack)
Raskin (Kamara)
Diomande (Ramsey)
Gassama (Kent)
Danilo (Aribo)
Chermiti (Roofe)

Actually frightening.

28 Nov 2025 07:06:28
Don't worry 89 that's why god invented whisky and aeroplanes.
