Tillman brought the necessary to the game to get the 3 points when no one else looked like doing so. It was also notable how much he got involved in the rough and tumble. He seemed determined not to be kept on the periphery and although he wasn't very good at it, it signalled a willingness.

It's mid-October and we're 2 points behind the leaders, so we are very much in it.

I've seen us play better against Motherwell and drop points.

Le Guen was the only Rangers manager who recognised what Adam could bring and used it.

Adam was another management failing, for me. Shoehorned into a wingers position, when he's slow as stop. Always had a good left-foot. Flourished when he was put into a deep-lying playmaker's position.

For me we don't have to produce Fergusons, Huttons, Pattersons etc for the youth system to be a success. Even if we can produce guys who are good enough to be squad players for a few years and help support our squad to silverware then that's value add. Mo Ross, Chris Burke and Boab Malcolm are good examples of this. Say what you like about them as players but all have some medals to show for it. Charlie Adam was similar for us but went on to better success elsewhere.

bit shambolic looking.

We were god awful . Every last player was poor. Tav is injured and still playing for some reason. Playing poorly i might add. Awful management.

Yup, Davies for me. You can see why we spent a decent chunk of change on him. Looks calm and composed. Hopefully we can keep him fit. His partnership with young King was a positive from yesterday. Both can step out and pass the ball out and build attacks. Davies and Goldson when both fit will make a great pairing.

His positioning was fine until he stepped forward and lost the flight of the ball. Should have been comfortable take with or without the sun in his eyes. Also, lead up to the freekick Tav should have found found the back of the stand and cleared rather than trying to be to cute.

Coping mechanism?

Watch it, Stewarty will be calling you peladophobic any minute! 🤣

Zak Rudden seems to be scoring for Dundee. 4 in 11 league games. Still only 22 but pretty bald already IIRC. Bald footballers rare these days.

Well at least the ladies team beat the hibees.

I think we have a perhaps 0.01% chance of winning it with Gio in charge. Even then it would need celtc to lose their manager.

Do you think we are in the hunt for the title?

Daies or Tillman, went for Davies. We really need his stability at the back today and things could have been difficult for us.

We ruined last season and this to some extend playing Morelos injured. doing this again is madness.

What makes you think that? 🤣

Concentrate on the league were out of our depth in the champions league

Three points not much more to take from it

Went for Tillman just for the goal

Davies was my MotM with another composed performance. Just a pity we're not going to see him develop a partnership with Connor Goldson any time soon as I think that would really have helped us at the back - especially with Tav far from fit.

I think it was more that the free kick just too well placed/lucky than a a huge error from McGregor. Wouldn't completely excuse the keeper though and he is collecting a fair collection of errors over the last few games. Goalkeeper has become a problem position. Not really a huge surprise and another position where the thought process behind squad management didn't make much sense. The worst effort of a save that I have ever seen came at almost exactly the same place as the McKinstry goal entered the net. Cammy Bell in 2015, I still shudder at the thought of it.

Results don't concern me. I'm more concerned by your other point about the lack of progression onto pro contracts.

Watched it ---daylight robbery Man City far better team.

Me either but we don’t need to. The focus has to be the league.

If we collect maximum premier league points between now and the WC, I will be amazed and surprised.

I'm well aware results may not be the most important factor but it must be one of the measures used when assessing progress. Otherwise what is the point of the games, why not just coach and play among yourselves. If results don't matter then why the celebrations when be taste success in various tournaments ?

We are on the same wave length 😁 Mutual Consent by a Thousand Cuts -------------------------- edit Steven Gerrard (less M.Beale) might be avaiable soon If Klopp goes could Beale replace him with SG as his number 2 ? 😁

I think Tillman has been played out of position. He's not a right winger.

I say, sir, you go too far, dam’ your eyes. Withdraw or you’ll hear from my friends in the morning.

Like everyone, I wanted CL football this season. Going forward, I ain't so sure but whilst it is guarranteed for SPFL winners, we very much have to go for it. The gulf in prizemoney between CL and EL won't be that great whilst our 10 year co-efficent is relatively low and we lose all our games. Nor will our 10 year co-efficent improve much when we get beat every match day. The other proviso being that we do fairly well in the EL. Hearts..................... 2 x (4-0 defeats) Motherwell............. 2 defeats to Sligo Rovers Dundee United...... 7-0 defeat Rangers.................. 7-1, 4-0, 3-0, 2-0 Celtic...................... No wins Games Played : 22 (8) Goals For : 14 (7) Goals Against : 54 (20) (Rangers numbers in brackets)

Ok. A dangerous and deeply dishonest bunch of greetin’ wee girlies. No argument. See previous post.

Very true. Doesn’t stop them being greetin’ wee girlies as well. I cite McLeod and Stewart as two of them.

And the Sportscene presenter couldn't even bring himself to say the name of the club whose fans who sang through the minute's silence in Paisley. I think Rangers should revert to non-communication with BBC, until they decide to at least attempt a bit of impartiality.

"Lizzie's in a Box". On Saturday last, Ibrox settled to a planned minutes silence for the passing of our country's Monarch these last seventy years. Queen Elizabeth's death has witnessed an outpouring of emotion not seen since World War Two. The last Monarch, George vi passed in 1952; there is little to no collective memory. Ten days of mourning is NOT a huge demand for someone who provided daily service everyday for in excess of 70 years. Think about it, four hours of dispatch box administration every morning beginning at 07.30hrs; including Christmas day, Birthdays, Honeymoon, ................. etc, over 25,000 consecutive days. Truly, a life of service. Whether your belief systems include Constitutional Monarchy or not, you have to respect the unflinching dedication to the roles of Head of State, Head of the Commonwealth and, Head of Established Church. An elderly woman died aged 96, a Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, wife, sister, ...... etc; all running interference on unquestioning service. Surely, a minute's contemplative silence is not an unreasonable request? As the players took position on the centre circle the booing began within the several hundred Dundee United supporters. As the Referee blew the whistle to begin the silence, the away section broke into four or five choruses of, "Lizzie's in a Box". The culmination of the silence was marked by the first verse of the National Anthem. As God Save the King finished, BBC Radio Scotland commentator, Liam McLeod admitted interruption of the silence then added, "it is impossible to say which part of the ground the interruption to the minutes silence came from". Disinformation in 18 words. Dundee United issued a statement after the game. It outlined the Board had passed on received information to supporters but acknowledged, "a tiny minority of supporters did not respect the minute's silence". The statement contained no condemnation and no apology. BBC Scotland printed the statement but did not readdress Liam McLeod's ridiculous lie. From the position of the Ibrox gantry, Liam McLeod said, "it is impossible to say which part of the ground the interruption to the minute's silence came from". It is just another BIG LIE to emanate from BBC Scotland reference Rangers and Rangers supporters.

I tend to agree with Stewart. For me, celtic are indeed going in the right direction when they suffer a defeat at home by a comfortable margin.
