F***k off.

Who cares about the Scotland team? Please play the matches regardless.

Our board could be a bit more proactive regarding the ruling bodies and the press. Our PR department are hopeless.

Further to OP, after 19 games we are actually 12 points better off than at the same point in 18/19 (games played rather than time of year) and our points tally after playing every other team for the first time this season is 9 points better than last season. We are 3 games from playing each other team twice, at that point last year we had gained 42 points, so if we win our games against Ross Co, St Johnstone and St Mirren we will be 17 points improved.

Morelos can play the lone striker role. Defoe isn’t anywhere near as effective in that role. He’s more suited to a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 where he’s got a target man beside him

No he hasn’t. Turns 16 this month so will be in the process of deciding just now. He trained with Kevin Thomson Academy last week along with my son. He’s a fine young man, mature for his age and clearly a very good player too. I wished him well whatever his decision though obviously want him to stay at Rangers. He was guarded about that and gave nothing away..

At the final resting place in Slammanan of two brothers John and Richard McLeay who didn’t come home from Ibrox on the 2nd January 1971. The boys Dad Finlay died of a broken heart on the 12th July that same year. I’ve today met with Richard’s daughter Audrey. The plot will now be restored.

I'd do a deal with the devil if it wins us this league.

shouldn't be dealing with Ashey's club in any way or form

Steve Bruce Bruce is looking to offload Newcastle outcasts Ki Sung-Yueng and Yoshinari Muto in the New Year to make room for new signings. And the Toon chief will listen to offers for Dwight Gayle though he's unlikely to allow the striker to go out on loan.

Good luck to him he came to us at wrong time.

Fraser Aird "losing his contract" ... IIRC, his contract was running out three days later and if it hadn`t been renewed by then, it would never have been anyways. Showboating by the Cove Rangers board / pandering to the authorities who just hammered a board member and the manager (methinks).

Haggerty, Dr Stu and Michael Stewart - three (rather sinister, publicly funded) clowns.

Going for the Throat. Yesterday was a busy day for the PQ Gang Hut. Angela Haggerty waddled up to the microphone, on Shereen Nanjiani's show. Of course, Shereen was on holiday, thus Fiona Stalker hosted. First up was a review on BBC 's new drama, 'Dracula'. Angela revealed, "we were raised as catholics, I know nothing about Dracula, that would be seen as a cult thing". Angela confirmed her conditioning, "my father is staying with me, he's eighty, he watched a few of the opening minutes before declaring this is not for me". She admitted to binge watching and stated her admiration for the nun character, "she's a bit rock'n'roll". Another guest, the Editor of the Big Issue, Paul McNamee offered, "I was taught by Nuns, none of them were rock'n'roll". You see the difference between someone who is Irish and someone desperate to be so? Still, I am sure Angela will call out Paul's off message contribution, and he will burn in the bad fire. One wonders how Angela has navigated this wide world and reached her 34th year, in such a state of ignorant innocence? Can PQ not raise the funds to send her to Transylvania, let her and the Count do the monster mash. In her two years of doing this show, the majority of her, 'moment of the week' have been Sellik related. Not yesterday, she chose an ethical vegan winning a court case to acclaim veganism as a religion. Be careful Angela, do not get too close to Veganism and don't offer to change a light bulb. Like you're beloved Bhoys, they prefer to remain in the dark. DrStu' has returned from his Big Hoose in Sri Lanka. He knows the parameters on his infinity pool, came back swinging. He wondered aloud about Morelos and throat cutting gestures, had a real good laugh at Fraser Aird losing his contract at Cove Rangers, and told a story of himself and a couple of Saintee supporting mates calling the sequestrators at Gretna, to buy the club's history. I suspect co-host of the day, Amy Irons was the target for the venom? She is a Rangers supporter and her auld man is David Irons. Eventually, he gave the St Johnstone PR puff piece for allowing the old firm fans access to three out of four stands. It will allow Saints to buy two or three players. Further, it's only accepting reality, Saints fans do not turn up against Rangers because of the bigotry. The last Rangers game in Perth attracted the lowest St Johnstone v Rangers attendance ever? Next up was Liam McLeod hosting in Big Dick's absence. He and Michael Stewart discussed Rangers plea for VAR to be introduced. Michael explained that Rangers had experienced a bad month for decisions; mentioning the denied penalty at Pittodrie, the off side goal during the League Cup final, and Sellik's goal in the last old firm game. Of course, Rangers have had many occasions when they have been the beneficiaries of decisions, Liam chipped in, "all clubs recognise that". Liam was anxious to let the audience know, "Rangers will experience VAR in the next round of the Europa Cup", Michael added Kevin Clancy had refereed well during the game and, "I don't like the way Rangers do things as a club". Who knew? We know Michael agrees with the Green Brigade's political commentary, he refrained from commenting upon the St Michael banners. Self beatification might be a step too far? The second part of Off the Ball was advertising Pat Nevin as special guest, I gave up but I am sure Pat showed solidarity with Alfredo in his every day battle with racism?

It’s horses for courses in my opinion. Against ‘park the bus’ teams I think we should try & use two strikers. If,however, we are going to use only one striker then Morelos is by far the best option

Not really. Two of those players are rubbish. One had problems off of the pitch and the other is rather ordinary.

I rather hope our legal department would be more active. E.g. the possible sanction by Clare Whyte regarding the throat-cut thing. It was clear what it meant, so how can it be judged as the diametrical opposite? Then again, as we have seen with the antics of Lennon and Brown right in front of the Rangers support, the CO`s views of things seems to be warped anyway. BTW, why cancel games if we or others would only send but 1 or 2 players?

... though you wish at times we`d drop the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and go with two strikers against the brickwall brigade, who rarely threatens. Far to often the ball runs loose around the penalty spot or in front of goals and no McCoist-like predator in sight. Holt ran into that space a few years back quite often, Arfield and Aribo as attacking MF less so. The system is also the reason why the likes of Waghorn, Garner, Cummings and even Herrera never got going. And IMHO, it was not exactlythe case of players not adapting to the tactics, but more of the tactics not being effective in certain games ... essentially 9 out of 11. Just MHO, of course. This season, we have better quality folk, but we still need some fine-tuning.

We need to be alot better off than we were last year or they would be running away with it. Because they're a lot better off than they were last year too. If they hadn't improved we would be running away with it.

Fwiw, Rangers have told reporters it’s a load of bollocks Leave that up to you all to decide how true

Morelos is out 3 games(1 cup 2 league) Defoe plays and picks up an injury in cup game and is missing for couple we then are not as well covered in that position as we thought imo.

If this guy plays a similar game to Morelos then get him in. Sadly Defoe offers much less than Morelos.

I think his opportunity has been and gone. Doesn't work hard enough to hold a starting place in our team anyway.
