It's clear to me they both read this forum because they were both excellent today, particularly Sands who I thought looked every inch a midfielder we can use, before looking composed and comfortable as a central defender. I wonder if he can handle fullback too?

First Rangers game in a while that i actually enjoyed watching. Sakala was excellent today.

Gotta love Fashion Jr. Wtf was he on the bench week after week?

That’s a good assist from Davies!

More likely to be an Aberdeen player

Some clubs have made it work for them. For example, AC Milan (90's) had a very different approach to taking care of the veterans (mind and body) as well as the fact that the players were top level. What a club has to do if they decide to go down the high average age and several chronically injured players is to at least have the very best sports science/medical approach that will get more games/minutes out of those players, at as high a performance level as possible. We seem to have gone down the route of a significant percentage of older/chronically injured players and at the same time, our medical / sports science don't seem to be at the top of their game. Not a good combination.

VAR cost me a correct result by allowing Alfie's goal🙄😀

Flippin' eck....wishing the death of another human being is not 'breaking decency laws'?

It's good you mentioned Ryan Kent. I hesitated to do so but you're absolutely right, he did have a good game. He's been rightly criticised recently but he never hid from the ball, always made himself available and his work rate was notches up from recent games. I just wish we could see him play with the same freedom and self-confidence of Fashion Jr.

Sands was superb today.

We do and they showed it today. Like Hearts away many Rangers fans were predicting a heavy defeat. Sands, Davies, King, Lundstrum, Colak, Tillman, Fashion and Kent all played well today. But for a few blocks and goal-lime clearances, we'd have scored 7 or 8 today.

Sign Gio for at least a decade.

They don’t realise how pathetic it makes them look. They have no purpose in life without their hatred for us.

Did Beale take the team today or was he just visiting? 😎 4-1 was a poor reflection on the game. Should been at least 6 or 7. How can a team put in so different a performance from one week to the next?

Worth every pound we'll pay 😎

Exactly! No excuse for it.

Amazing what happens when we play at a high tempo and with desire , numerous players could have gotten MOTM awards , hopefully this is the Start of something , criticised this team and the manager but fair play this has been excellent .

Tillman is perfect for the number 10 position, still surprised a lot of people don’t see that. He just needs experience and a decent team around him.

Fashion junior is not even that good at dribbling and he makes it look easy compared to Kent.

Hopefully we will get a good game of football served up today

The average age of the squad is too high

He can stay for ten days then I'll consider it

Oh Aberdeen is full of ...........

However this got into the stadium is totally beyond me? Do people just walk through the turnstiles up there?

I’m a Gio critic but if anyone actually did predict a heavy defeat to the SPFL dross like Aberdeen they need their heads checked.

Two games with VAR and two clear decisions overturned in our favour. Funny that. No idea how the ref missed that he wasn’t even going to look at it with VAR. Tav missed it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I once knew a rather charming lady who was very open, many years ago

Kent is so poor, wastes everything

Kent a waste of a shirt as expected

Ridvan was our best player. Injured. Shame. There's something seriously wrong with our fitness and conditioning department.

Big step up from Bodo/Glimt ?

I laughed at that but actually ……

There's nothing funny about that team selection.

Talking a lot leads to contradictions and tying yourself in knots. Having a better manager will immediately result in improved performances. It really is that simple. I think other changes are needed but that'll take longer/more thought.

The club needs stability. Try harder

There are various levels of reality to wake up to. - Football on the park - State of squad (and est. sell-on value - Football Operation as a whole - Financial state of play - Take all of the above for holistic take on where we go from here Better to go back to sleep?

Given a decent squad Gio will be great. What he's done with the squad we have (which reminds me of Brooke donkey sanctuary) proves it imo.

Somewhat unfair to lump Goldson into that list Bill. He's hardly missed a game for Rangers in 4 years until now. I get your point though. Eyewatering is an understatement.

I reckon Dyche would get the team fit and disciplined and train the players to defend. It won’t be pretty but it will be effective and get them competing with celtic. After a couple of seasons get some poet or artist to take over if we want to. Affordable alternatives who might be willing to take the job? I don’t know if Dyche is affordable.

I wonder how much money Rangers spends in a year, on a week by week basis, on the salaries of player who are injured or otherwise not available? Ofoborh, Helander, Hagi, Roofe, Jack, Goldson, Souttar, Morelos, etc, etc. And how is this trending over time? I've no idea how you would access this sort of information but I imagine the sums are eyewatering.
