It seems some would prefer a tick on their chest to success on the park.

Hopefully for Murty, not Candeais Candeais is has been our best player by a mile today. Probably our best player this season. whilst Holt isn’t the strongest he is very tenacious and reads the game well. He’s had a number of good interceptions in there today, particularly in advanced areas.

We hold our players to a standard far above any other support , and we are far too quick to rubbish players we as a support don't like . As examples , though there are plenty other , Alan Hutton and Charlie Adam , were widely slaughtered by the majority of our support , simply for trying to do things in games we didn't like , never mind their stats in Europe which were excellent , we simply never learn .

Whats the issue here? Thats about 30-40 minutes before kick off they hadn't all come out of the dressing room to warm up yet. Once they were all out he was with Craig Flannigan who took the subs for their circuits and warm up. He didnt look any different to any of the others warming up from where I was sitting.

Why is it an issue that our striker is greedy? Any striker worth his salt is greedy.

With our support and players all we will ever play is a dying game. too focused on Celtic to build anything of note and too xenophobic to see European football has left us behind.

Years ago there were Rangers strips being made in Romania which were on sale in that country before they'd been unveiled here. Personally I couldn't give a monkeys who makes our jersey as long as the club got a decent deal out of it. There's far too much snobbery about makes like Nike.

Did I not see Cummings miss a one on one with the goalkeeper and sky a long shot over the bar? therefore does that not akin him to Morelos. Just because one smiles and the other doesn't it does not make one better than the other.

How were the pies?

A bit more of that attitude for next week please Rangers.........

His critics are just seeing what they want to see. What are the rest of the players doing behind? Just as much. His expression is a permanent sulk; that's just his expression. He takes a temper tantrum after every miss, whether it's an impossible 30-yarder from an acute angle or a tap-in from 2 yards. IMO, of course.

We seem to have been saying that for many years.

Was really pleased with how we went about the match today. It wasn't just a win for me, the boys rolled up their sleeves and fought for every ball. Cummings, Holt, Dorrans, Murphy & Candieas were all excellent.

I didn’t even realize Windass was playing.....

Rangers have almost all the pressure and looking the most dangerous but it's breaking down at the sharp end.

What a load of guff. Dying game and xenophobia? Are you sure you're on the correct forum?

This last week starting with the poor showing in the semi final coupled to the suspension of Wallace and Miller has been more difficult than it needed to be. Given where we've been in the last 6 years we've had worse weeks as Rangers fans. As far as Celtic, Aberdeen and Hibs are concerned I seriously couldn't care less about them or their results. I'm a Rangers supporter and I only care about Rangers. What was obvious was that Celtic played for a draw yesterday and only turned up for the last 5 mins all so they could get their title decider against us at home. We've not played well consistently this season but that was not a smart move on their part. We don't think we're good enough nor do we expect to beat them in the next game but they should still have wrapped the league up yesterday against Hibs and didn't. That's a mistake because the league isn't over yet. Now lets hope the Rangers turn up today against Hearts and give them a spanking and then carry that on to the next game.

Thread title reads '' new manager RUMOURS! ''

Nothing will happen until the end of the season.

Much better this week. We should have won by a few more though. We'll need to play even better to get a result next week.

hingin's too good for them........send them tae Gullane sand dunes....that'll sort them out

An expert at sweeping things under the carpet then. I wish I could say I was surprised.

We have to treat it as an opportunity. By my calculations, if the sheep beat Hearts on the Friday, we'd need a draw to 'spoil the party'.

Wouldn't it be nice to spoil their party!

Face it our defenders are hopeless not one would pass muster

A wins a win a more competent display throughout the team .

How bad are we at defending them?

More like Chelsea a few years ago: imperious, consistent with a top-5 and a runners-up spot, then a disastrous run which saw me languish in the bottom half.

Can’t help but like Murty as a person. Was funny in his interview there when they mentioned Candeais running to Halliday “well he ran past me so I need to wipe custard off my face”

Probably but to be fair to the linesman only a slowmo and freeze frame would confirm.

Yeah it’s really weird right ? Every one of us can tell when we high press at high tempo we look good. But we never know what we will get each week.

That'll be our easiest game of the post-split. We'll need to improve a lot on today but at least it's something to build on for the last 4 games.

So up until today you were the Brechin City of the GPL ?

We are a far better side when we press the opposition, which makes last week even more awful.

Yes, I know; you're probably the most objective when it comes to Windass. Yes, he's not directly influencing things, but involved in the build-up. Our first saw him play a ball over for Murphy to assist; he didn't score, didn't assist, but he was involved. Anyway, yes, he's not been great but I still feel he's had a good/decent game.

I don’t think he went to the manager did he ? Was it not the bench, and Halliday in particular ?

It was not aimed at you, mate

I would be quite happy replacing Windass for Morelos

No leaked team line up days in advance this week!

See, I don't think we were outnumbered in midfield. Yes, they had McGregor wide, but he always came inside. We had a narrow 4-3-3, so we weren't outnumbered per se. It was individual mistakes, and our midfield pushing up and not covering those runners in behind -- McGregor gets the chance because we fluff our clearance, but our midfield is nowhere to be seen. So, IMO, we weren't outnumber per se, it was just our execution of it left too much space. It was really poor. We were a bit more passive too, which is strange, because most teams that execute a good press do well against them.

Arsenal could do worse......by employing ,say, an advisory panel from Gersnet....

I don’t. We need European games.I don’t want us playing those awful LC fixtures at the start of the season again

Yes, see post 64. ‘The Club conducted an extensive tender process with more than ten offers being received and Hummel were chosen as the preferred option. The new kit will be worn for the first time in the summer during the Club’s pre-season games.’
