Rangers banter 5

17 Oct 2026 21:58:40
Bitterly disappointed.
Shocking first half, very good the second (barring Dan Neil falling over oxygen)

Derek makes the right adjustments at half time but I think his substitutions weren't necessarily correct.
I've mixed feelings because we really should've won but the footballing gods really didn't want us to win today, horrid luck and great saves.
Oh well, roll on next week I suppose.

17 Oct 2026 22:03:50
What a wasted opportunity to go top again. Dundee deserved a draw I have to say and we just need to learn from this.

17 Oct 2026 22:07:46
Big mistake from the manager taking off our 2 best players on the night and leaving Gassama on. Thought we were really good 2nd half dan neil cost us the game. Were only 9 games in, long way to go.

17 Oct 2026 22:23:52
Me too bro , some lovely football and great credit to Dundee because they never gave up, we should have won but we move on ,

17 Oct 2026 21:57:48
Have to be honest but for me McInnes made a mistake taking minsu off as he was causing Dundee no end of problems in the second half. 🤔In fact our best 2 players were subbed off bouanni and minsu(second half) when he was playing further forward on the front foot. 🤔

Terrible error by Dan Neil for their equaliser, as i thought at that point we would go on to win the game. 😡Chance missed yet again when push comes to shove, so disappointed ☹️🇬🇧.

17 Oct 2026 22:01:32
Curtis first sub again. He offers nothing i'm sorry.

17 Oct 2026 22:06:02
Subs baffle me the two players who were causing problems taken off.

17 Oct 2026 22:07:03
I think that might be a valuable point.

17 Oct 2026 22:14:11
Bouanani was done in but was the only player to show anything. It was a poor performance, especially in the first half, we weren't sharp enough, had very little forward drive, lost too many individual duels, and even the goalie looked a bit slack at times.

We played well for a quarter of a game which is just not good enough. We'll lose games in future if we don't learn to trap quickly and maintain momentum.

17 Oct 2026 22:35:10
Yes I agree SirWalter. The substitutions seemed to lose us any impetus we had gained. I was disappointed with the manager's choices at a critical stage in the game.

17 Oct 2026 22:53:09
Awg i can't remember us making a sub and it paying off. Its either too late or we substitute on an ineffective player and kill the momentum.

17 Oct 2026 23:15:56
Big dado. Miovski.

17 Oct 2026 23:28:44
Ibrox 👍 didn't think of that.
I don't think any other subs we can make from wings or midfield would be influential in winning the game. Got tougher games to come we can't be drawing these games.

18 Oct 2026 01:11:31
SWS do you think there is only one reason a manager makes subs? Fatigue, knocks, not doing the job asked or at least all the job that's asked. It's not just as simple as your making out. Any number of reasons for a substitution.

17 Oct 2026 21:55:40
Poor first half manager is to blame for that. Should've still won that game. Dan Neil was poor tonight the full game and how many times does Gassama fall over his own feet. We need to get the ball forward faster as we're so better when we do this the slow passing about at the back needs to stop.

Fernandes slows the game down so much and invites the pressure onto our defence and causes pressure on the midfield as well raging we didn't win tonight.

17 Oct 2026 22:23:13
We're a much better attacking team when minsu gets close to the striker especially if it's one central striker up top and the second half he showed that, McInnes shouldn't have taken minsu kim off, Gassama should have been subbed instead 🤔 Great opportunity lost again 😡🇬🇧.

17 Oct 2026 22:36:52
Yes another opportunity missed yet again by us.

18 Oct 2026 01:12:21
What was the reason for McInnes taking minsu off sws? Do you know?

17 Oct 2026 20:42:06
We look a bit lost here. Kelsey needs to come on asap.

17 Oct 2026 21:34:17
2 absolute howlers for Dundee goals.

17 Oct 2026 21:48:45
We're winning no league!

17 Oct 2026 22:06:25
Love these posts Cooperleg, who's winning it? 29 games remaining, our challengers wouldn't have many players in our side, long way to go, Dundee is a decent side playing good football.

17 Oct 2026 22:13:12
Some nice stuff and great goals but slacking off a bit , I'm not convinced yet that Kelsey is a good player but I'm hoping, I wouldn't have taken bounanni off , I've got 3-2 but would have loved 1 nil if it meant the points.

17 Oct 2026 23:31:40
TT agree about kelsy. Neither him or Naderi are effective as lone striker but work well together god only knows why we changed it for dundee.

17 Oct 2026 18:52:27
I got our Rangers starting 11 spot on for our game against Dundee tonight ie.
Pandur
Sterling
Fernandez
Makhanya
Penrice
Raskin
Neil
Minsu
Bouanani
Naderi
Gassama
👍🇬🇧so only 1 change from last week bouanani starts with kelsy on the bench.

17 Oct 2026 18:59:34
Though he'd have played Kelsy and Minsu wide sws, did want to see more of Bouanani, think Minsu will be alongside Naderi mate, both scoring anytime.

17 Oct 2026 19:06:09
Very strong starting 11 My star 👍Rangers 2-0 mate 👍🇬🇧.

17 Oct 2026 19:26:34
He deserves a start and it's a strong team to help him

0-3 Rangers.

17 Oct 2026 19:51:43
Thought he would go with Bouanani , first time picked team right myself in about 6 months , strong team and strong bench so 3 points and up the road hopefully , few players capable of scoring from outside box behind the striker so shoot on sight Rangers.

17 Oct 2026 19:54:52
Bouanani anytime 3/1.

Rangers win both halfs, Naderi and Kim anytime 14/1.

17 Oct 2026 21:56:05
Dan Neil nowhere near the player some on here think he is. Can't pass to siow.

17 Oct 2026 22:08:56
Good to see you John , I thought we played some nice football at times , bit unlucky and Dundee deserve credit, bounanni looks a clever player, I'm not convinced by Kelsey yet, but il give him time, Raskin began making mistakes the more tired he got, we really should have won easily but it's a point away and we move forward.

17 Oct 2026 18:27:42
I recon a draw is our best bet tonight, going by the way Kilmarnock dominated the 2nd half at Ibrox in our last game and Dundee going well at the moment. Obviously I hope I'm way off.

17 Oct 2026 18:55:44
It's not often the lads have to do a night shift on a Saturday, but i'm going 3 0 to the Rangers, and good luck and be safe to a lot of fans travelling home at a stupid bloody time of night.

17 Oct 2026 13:54:55
A wee question for a weekend debate.
Are we still missing anything at Rangers?
If so what. Broad question but see where it takes us if anywhere.

17 Oct 2026 14:03:22
The only thing missing for me for this current squad is a trophy in the cabinet. The core group have became more consistent and confident as the season has gone on. Players such as Fernandez, Neil and Gassama have improved steadily and I believe once we win the league cup we will kick on and win the title 💪🏻.

17 Oct 2026 14:36:34
Broxi bears in the Rangers shop Pieter. 🤣🤣.

17 Oct 2026 15:02:03
We have a very good balance mf squad now. It's hard to say anything that's missing. I'd say a creative mf player but we don't really play with one.

17 Oct 2026 15:11:01
A long term replacement right back Pieter.
A left footed central defender.

17 Oct 2026 15:14:40
League cup for starters.

17 Oct 2026 15:59:06
A decent cheese burger !

17 Oct 2026 16:13:51
Not very regular fans are not looking for signings, think everyone's happy with our squad, McInnes said it would take big fees for us losing players in January, few players returning to fitness, cb signed and move Souttar and McCausland on, I'd be more than happy if that's all we do in January.

See you mentioned Cortes on another post Tom, watched him the other night, was impressive, beaten men for fun, his loan ends in December I'm sure, think that club signs him, still only 22.

17 Oct 2026 16:25:49
Cortes in Argentina now, Tom.

17 Oct 2026 17:36:32
For me a left winger, somebody with a better final ball than Gassama although he has definitely come on to a game.

17 Oct 2026 17:45:01
Lets get the first trophy in the cabinet and kick on from there 👍🇬🇧.

17 Oct 2026 18:03:20
3 points on a Saturday and Glasgow belongs to me.😇🫡.

17 Oct 2026 18:12:46
A trophy a semi final against sheep then probably a final against hearts.
Would like think we will still be top of league come january so would think all the rumours will go into overdrive but we need to be getting some of the surplus off the books.

17 Oct 2026 19:19:03
League Cup would be nice for starters, but someone who gets you out your seat when they get the ball, a 'game changer'.
We are beginning to look like we have an idea what we are doing as a team? but individual talent is still in short supply
( but I'm greedy 😉😉)

17 Oct 2026 22:01:23
A real 6 and a left winger.

17 Oct 2026 22:17:32
We should have him here, imho it was a mistake letting him go, but hopefully comes back

I watched closely in his game back from injury

Same game was the night Mikey played, and Everything went through Bajrami and Mikey and Cortes was scarcely involved on the left wing and that stuck with me because if ever a boy didn't get any opportunities in one game it was there, they ignored the left side and played as if it was all about Moore and Bajrami

I think Cortes is quality myself.
