Rangers banter 8

Skov Olsen is clever he might not catch the eye the way people want but he's got Tierney guessing. His delivery makes Chermiti's goal it's got to be inch perfect. If you can't see this 🤷🏼‍♂️

01 Mar 2026 14:37:52
Boy done well today, was always involved and another assist, ran out of steam a bit.

01 Mar 2026 14:54:48
That goal was 100% down to magic from Chermiti for me. It was a decent cross, but it was played behind him. I still think Olsen was our weakest player today.

01 Mar 2026 15:55:14
Jv1, he is a winger. His role is to create, and it is what he gets paid for. Sorry, mate, but the assist data just drives up the price of average players.

01 Mar 2026 16:10:12
Not entirely sure if you're agreeing with me or not, Windy. I'm giving Chermiti credit for the goal, not Olsen.

01 Mar 2026 17:16:34
Jv1. 👍

01 Mar 2026 12:55:49
Just wow Chermiti, his first goal the overhead kick and even his second goal shows how strong he is and a great footballing brain to flick the ball over the player then score

01 Mar 2026 14:32:44
Doesn't matter, drew 2-2 means fancy goals mean zilch.

01 Mar 2026 14:21:20
Penalty!
What us Dujon supposed to do?

01 Mar 2026 14:55:38
Not have his hand hit the ball.

01 Mar 2026 15:02:39
I couldn't agree more, it's not hand to ball, and he isn't in an unnatural position. It wasn't Sterling's fault at all. I thought that's what they look at when deciding if it's a penalty. If it is, then it's a very harsh decision. But we were poor second half, and it is what it is.

01 Mar 2026 15:38:02
I'm the same. Celtic head, Sterling head, then on hand n Butland's face, all in a split second. What's he meant to do with his hand, not use it for jumping leverage.

01 Mar 2026 15:46:05
If you watch closely, Sterling's hand changes the direction the ball is travelling and directs it onto Butland's face. If it doesn't hit Sterling's hand, it goes in. It's a penalty.

01 Mar 2026 14:09:02
Could we say we missed Barron today?

Even as a sub aftet they were 2-1 I think he's energy would've replaced Chucky

01 Mar 2026 14:55:59
You can say it doesn't mean it's true.

01 Mar 2026 15:38:46
Nope, we didn't, as he was injured and wasn't available. 😇

01 Mar 2026 14:06:13
Game of two halves, excellent first half, poor second half, did Rohl change his tactics and invited the press from them.

01 Mar 2026 10:57:46
Well troops are we happy with the starting line-up?

Very attack minded XI from Rohl. Just hope we get at them from the first whistle.

Step up and play Rangers!!

01 Mar 2026 14:01:50
Just stood back in the 2nd half, again not consistent enough, another draw. Not good enough.

01 Mar 2026 14:06:11
Don't actually even know where to start with that 2nd half. Borderline embarrassment.

01 Mar 2026 14:07:23
Started so well only to waste it in the end. Second half was so disappointing. We let them back in the game. Draw definitely favors Hearts.

01 Mar 2026 14:11:28
Looked tired in the second half, and they pushed us back. Our Achilles heels again, not regaining possession and giving it away far too cheaply, played into their hands, and our defending in the central defensive areas was poor. Maeda had two free headers unchallenged, Souttar and Fernandez sleeping.

Lapses have cost us and will continue to do so.
Feel heart sorry for Chermiti, produces that type of goal, yet couldn't get the three points.
Always going to be a tough game, and they are not as poor as some make out, and maybe it highlights where we are still lacking.

01 Mar 2026 14:12:49
At 2 up, why were we so nervous in the 2nd half? Get a third and the game's done. Very disappointing result.

01 Mar 2026 14:16:59
I don't know why we changed from 442 to 433 in the 2nd half. Naderi should have stayed on. Dio should never have come on. Skov should have gone off for Gassama. We sat off them in the 2nd half, and watched them play. Again, we can't defend high balls into the box.

If Celtic are bang average, then we are poor because they battered us 2nd half. Apparently, he has never been so confident that we would beat Celtic. I don't know how anyone listens to him.

01 Mar 2026 14:22:16
Having guys like John Souttar playing at CBs, we will never win league championships. Fernandez might have a good career, but not here. We need solid defenders. I thought Raskin was rotten as well.

01 Mar 2026 14:40:46
Raskin, that sat deep to counteract Chamberlain n snuff him out, should go to Specsavers. He tired second half though.

01 Mar 2026 14:53:18
TBH, it's year 6 of the same stuff. Trust the process, we need to give it time. Fans are too impatient, fans don't understand coaching, sport science, the business, etc. So whose fault is it? Who is not reading what's required? Are the same mistakes being made again and again? Looking at the league in points and GD, we are a top 4 SPL team. That's it. Yet how much have we spent?

Danny has been backed heavily, but we could end up being fourth. We constantly talk up our trading model, yet when does it show signs of production? When does it put the club on a strong footing, and yet allow talent to come through and flourish? It's not impatience.

This is year one for the new board, and it was a massive cluster at the beginning, but it is year 6 for the fans of seemingly false hope. That's why we are frustrated.

So I'll ask again. If we don't win the league this year, how many of the players will be upset, and how many will only be bothered about looking to move on for a bigger contract?

01 Mar 2026 10:43:56
Think it will be a close game today, i don't think he will go with 2 up top as he will go with 3 midfielders like he did the second have against them. Think Skove Moore and Chermiti front 3. Going for a 2-1 Rangers

01 Mar 2026 10:08:11
Sitting here trying to get some work done ahead of a busy week at work and before the game starts. Can't concentrate and keep jumping to the phone to look for updates and see what's getting posted on here.

We need a big performance from whoever is in the line up and get at them from the first whistle and look to put them on back foot. I think Rommens could make the difference for us this time out, Meghoma was targeted last game in that first half.

Easy to say but we need to take our chances early in the game. Optimistic we have the ability to win this and win well if the team turns up.

Cmon Rangers, make us all proud🔵🔴⚪️

01 Mar 2026 09:07:48
The nerves are shredded already.

I'm heading out soon, but the weather is minging.

IMO, there are 4 mistakes DR must avoid.

1. Not starting Dio.
2. Starting Gassama(he is much better as an impact sub).
3. Starting Skov Olsen(he has been a mouse since he came, and we need lions today).
4. Starting Chermiti up front himself(It just doesn't work). This is a completely different tim team to the Nancy rabble we came up against.

We need to get into them from the first minute, and not let up. Try and keep it tight at the back, and make sure Sottar and Manny do not have any more brain fart moments.

Let's go!

01 Mar 2026 10:04:16
Ss, I'd agree with all of that.

The only thing I'd say is who's a better option than Olsen on the right? This might be his defining game to shine.

Have a good day.

01 Mar 2026 10:05:40
Yes Sunshine, I'm not Dios's biggest fan, but he does seem to play well against them. I just read a report, true or not, that we are having second thoughts about buying Olsen in the summer.

It's up to Olsen to dictate how that goes. We have to win today. I never thought Hearts would win the title, but they very well could if the chasing pack continue to drop points.

01 Mar 2026 10:10:38
I'd focus on the defence. Don't concede, then we win the game. Take Tav out, and possibly play a screen midfielder to cover at times. We look fragile as a four at the back. If we can sort that, I'm confident we will be fine.

01 Mar 2026 10:22:57
Tav and Souttar give me the fear, as do Gassama and Aasgaard. These are the 4 I'd like replaced for next season.

01 Mar 2026 11:24:46
Apparently he's not starting Dio.

01 Mar 2026 11:43:28
Chermiti has Naderi up with him. Starting with no Dio is an error, imo. Skov will come good; will it be today?

01 Mar 2026 14:23:13
R1, no, not today. In fact, he was utterly anonymous; he offers very little. I can see why his career is on the slide. Send him back in the summer, big letdown.
