Police Scotland? It is a fortnight since BBC Scotland reported on the Rangers - Dundee United fixture at Ibrox, stating the minute's silence for the death of the Monarch had ended with, "the away section was showered with glass bottles". PQ's modus operandi kicked in and the report was taken down after an hour or so, to be replaced by the Dundee United statement. The piece ended with, "Police Scotland are investigating the throwing of bottles into the away section". Thankfully, BBC Scotland and Police Scotland ignored the YouTube video-claim that, "two Dundee United fans stabbed to death after, 'Lizzie's in a box' song. It remains on YouTube with over 110,000 having viewed the lie. Misinformation and disinformation is the name of the game and PQ know credence is lent when they can conclude the story with, 'Police Scotland are investigating'. The amount of Rangers-Rangers supporters stories that PQ have ended with that phrase are numerous. The thing is we NEVER find out how the investigation concluded. Well, there is one exception; you remember 55 had just been won and, a video emanated from ........... surely not PQ ............. purporting to show several Rangers players inside the Blue Room, holding the League trophy whilst singing sectarian anti-catholic songs. All the usual suspects including James Dornan MSP, Humza Yousaf MSP, Jum Spence, Angela Haggerty, ...................... etc posted the video on YouTube, demanding Police action. Humza also demanded Rangers discipline the players involved ie Joe Aribo, Ryan Kent, Calvin Bassey and, Connor Goldson. It took Police Scotland a week to find no evidence of sectarian singing, there was a suggestion the video had been deliberately doctored to suggest anti-catholic chanting. It reminded me of BBC Scotland News Producer, Dermot O'Hara(brother of SNP MP Brendan O'Hara) showing a 30 second shot of Rangers supporters at Hampden signing whilst having a bouncing ball at the bottom of the screen, highlighting the proposed lyrics of the famine song. I hope Dermot and Brendan received their royalties from the broadcast? We await Police Scotland's findings as regards the shower of bottles aimed at the Arabs; in the meantime let's look at other BBC Scotland reports: 1. Jum Spence whose son serves within Police Scotland. During his second letting go by BBC Scotland, Jum was out walking with his wife in an Angus village and a Rangers supporter began to bellow at him from across the road. Jum reported the incident and we await the findings. 2. Rangers had just won at Pittodrie, a supporters bus heading south from the city pulled into Stonehaven for sustenance. However, those vile Rangers supporters forgot their hunger when presented with children building sand castles on the beach. It was reported several sand structures had been demolished and Police Scotland had been informed. 3. PQ reported Neil Lennon had been the recipient of a "viable" device. No, Neil had NOT even been the recipient of the envelope containing a battery, wiring and, a small chemical phial. Post Office staff dealt with the non-viable device(no detonator)at the GPO - they put it into a bucket of water. Now, we know two men were correctly arrested, charged and, sentenced to custodial terms but, it was the undergraduate dressed as Postman Pat carrying a wrapped box with 'bomb' printed on it at the Uni Halloween party that outraged PQ. They reported it and Police Scotland ensured he was fined several hundred pounds. The above incidences all received the full PQ attention, news reporting, discussions upon and, designated phone-ins on each matter. Parity is important and we await the same treatment for the Green Brigade unfurled the banner proclaiming, "if you hate the Royal Family clap your hands". We know because they have told us. Michael Stewart agrees with the Green Brigades political aspirations. Tom English has often eulogised the witty content of their banners. Chris McLaughlin lionises the atmosphere the Green Brigade bring to the ground. Every game is enhanced by a couple of effigies being hanged by the neck above a couple of dozen flags proclaiming, "KAH"(Kill All H-u-ns). BBC Scotland have reported some of the above incidents, they have hosted fewer discussions. I cannot think of them ever demanding Police Scotland action? The "Hate" banner at Paisley is an open goal. Remember Humza Yousaf reminding us that Scotland has legislation on hate crimes during the 55 title celebrations? It was the basis for demanding both Police action and Rangers disciplining the supposed players involved. Did Police Scotland okay a banner with the word, "Hate"? A phone-in which will not happen would reveal a lot about the nature of the relationship between PQ and Police Scotland. Can you imagine, who would host such an imaginary phone-in?

Colak is the best finisher we've had in years. When firing, Morelos is our best attack minded player. We have to find a way, in certain types of game, to get them both to start. I don't see it as being round into square, their style of play can compliment the other. As well as giving us more of a goal threat. It is an option that we have to explore. Understandable that we haven't yet seen it, given that for various reasons, Morelos hasn't been at it.

Mid table Anfield bottlers. Easy.

The sooner the licence fee gets scrapped & the BBC needs to raise its revenue in the real commercial world like all other broadcasters the better

Citeh are overrated. Imagine conceding three at home...

I fear a severe doing!

Tillman hasn't got the skillset of Morelos. Threading passes through a low block isn't easy. Alfredo could cause a defence all kinds of grief and Colak is the type to take advantage. The issue is getting Morelos to fire and have him play a role that may see another get the goals.

Only one ? Video on why Ryan Kent will score a brace !!

Morelos wide right. It’s obvious. He naturally drifts into that channel at times and from a starting position there will drift inside and open space for Tav. Just do it Gio.

Least one Bearette is happy tonight. Good on her.... goan urself Babu

Yeah maybe but you don't take a photo and look at it every day.

All this deep analysis and steadfast refusal to be happy about a good away win. Seriously, what's happened to us that we can no longer just rejoice in victory without qualifying every positive and studiously listing every negative in minute detail? It wasn't always like this. I'm sure we used to just enjoy being a Rangers supporter.

A few interesting stats I picked up from commentary today (not checked them tho!) - Tav has never scored against Hearts. - Kent has scored more goals against Hearts then any other club. - if Alfie scores against them in next game, he gets to keep them

Aye! imagine wanting any Rangers fan banned from a Rangers forum!!

I wonder how PQ select or, prioritise what gets the full report, discuss and, phone-in treatment? Jum Spence's ego and the sensitivities of sand castlers versus a Green Brigade banner with the word, "Hate" on it. Then there is Postman Pat, I think PQ have missed a trick here. Back in the day, giving this one the full treatment ensured an Undergraduate was charged, convicted and, fined because of over egging the Lennon situation. Now, ra Sellik have a legion of Japanese players and everyone knows the the three fingered Postman Pat is a member of the Yakusa. Time to throw that Undergrad' in the tin pail. Other BBC Scotland manufactured questions we did not get answers to include : Why did Rangers refuse to sell Pepperami ? Why did Rangers cut the grass in the shape of an orange sash? Why did Rangers remove Eggs Benedict from the Argyle House menu? Chief Super' Badyin McFadyin of le Surete must provide answers.

Should give him double points if he gets it !!

That doesn't count as a 'First Rangers goalscorer'.

City still win the league but only by about twenty points.

Quite the opposite. They're dangerous and deeply dishonest.

Haaland/Guardiola have obviously been taking on board the tactical masterclass of Colak/GVB. Get your centre forward to occupy the area close to the opposition goal, sometimes referred to as the box, the wee box, between the posts, etc. What happens if Haaland gets a bad injury ?

Liverpool 0 - 1 Rangers FGS Colak Those who predict Rangers defeats should be banned.

6-3 Utd toying with City in last 5mins :-)

6-1 and still time to go. Significant derby results, not just the scores but the manner of execution. Gunners and City pulling away and Liverpool haven’t started yet.

No, so the couple of whippersnappers on here don't think I have lost it and put Nathan in there.

Perfect for playing against a low block IMO As you describe, Morelos inverted roamer and you get the width from Tav

Brilliant result and the man-cruch on Colak continues. What an absolute predator.

Liverpool 0 - 1 Rangers FGS Colak

People enjoy being a Rangers supporter? Oh - I'm much too nervous for that!

You were the highest scorer this round with 4 pts.

My type not scared to lash it into an opponent

@Rousseau 16th and mid table mediocrity .

You are on here with a fair few who have reached a time when their occasional and possibly realistic ambition is to see Grandma naked.

So is that Kent's second goal against Hearts today? Alfredo already has Kilmarnock on his mantlepiece.

Given that last time out we were less than convincing against the bottom team at home, i was not overly confident about todays game, so a 4-0 away win against third placed Hearts is a pretty good result imo . Only negative being, we could have put a serious dent in the goal difference had we been more clinical.

Next week we will be playing the third placed team again, St.Mirren at Ibrox. They are on a good run and the game comes after our visit to Liverpool. They have conceded 8 in the league, same as us. 4 clean sheets, same as us. Low Block Coming Up. Eye on the ball and keep the domestic run going (2 and counting.....)

It was the third goal, not the 2nd doll....

So you didn't see any positives in the performance? Colak with two goals (again)? Kent with a great assist and wonderful goal? JL bossing the midfield for the entire game? Limiting Hearts to 1 shot on target? The free flowing moves for the 2nd and 3rd goals? A solid defensive performance and clean sheet? Subs contributing when they came on? Destroying Hearts at Tynecastle when most were fearing a battering? Can we play better? Definitely. Do we need to play better to win league? Definitely. I've been critical of Gio but if you can't see how anyone can't take any / many positives from todays performance.

Harks of the early 80's Prefer Leon King.

Moyes at West Ham has over performed for a while now. The inevitable downward trajectory has kicked in. It will end with him getting the boot but if he wants, he won't have any bother getting another job. He has well over 1000 games managed.
