The footage of Michael Stewart and Connie McLaughlin making the QF draw is priceless - they looked like they were at a funeral.

I saw the footage on another, well-known Rangers forum but unsure how to copy it. Here's a nice pic though...

Hagi can get through a defence, he can hit a pass and he can get a decent shot away from further than a yard out. Apart from that he doesn’t do a lot. Do I remember a jet propelled Ian McMillan burning up and down the park? No, I do not.

Nothing wrong with a player with a bit of arrogance

Beale is losing me. So little of what he does seems to make sense. If Hagi has any self-respect he would table a transfer request.

Sakala is another: never been so good since he left.

It isn't about a particular allegiance to Hagi. It's the glaring reality that he's a better player than Lammers, Matondo, Sima or Dowell ... but still can't get a start, even against Morton.

Beale has painted himself into a corner. He's signed a bunch of new players, several of whom have yet to show anything to justify their recruitment. So he has a choice - persevere with his newbies and hope they start delivering - or admit he's made a complete custard of our much-vaunted rebuilding exercise and fall on his sword. I'm hoping he pulls this off but I'm prepared for disappointment. When a manager works with his players every day and is still capable of schoolboy misjudgements like we saw in the last LC final, it's difficult not to harbour certain suspicions.

At least we know what Hagi can do unlike some of the recent Beale signings

MB is a fool, this is a foolish move, maybe even childish. Whether or not you like Hagi he could have been a good impact sub if not a starter.

And yet he still somehow manages to look like an utter carthorse. If he keeps those numbers up throughout then it will speak for itself, but there just doesnt look like a player in there to me at this early stage. Looks like a downgrade on Colak.

Poor Connie was absolutely devastated, and then when Michael Stewart picks us out at home oh how I laughed at the coupon on it. Worth the subscription fee alone.

tims oot ra cup. Great isn’t it? But it shows the level to which Rangers have fallen that the feeling is one of relief that they’re out of the way rather than sneering contempt for their ineptitude.

If you can meet with triumph and disaster, And treat those two imposters just the same.... You'll be a fan, my son.

Apologies - you're quite right about the details of the case. And I agree - the damning evidence is there for all to see despite Greenwood paying his way out of bother. The absence of a conviction may still limit what the club can say about him though.

I think you're misinterpreting some posts. Graeme just suggested if a player doesn't play, their value will decrease - that's just common sense. He didn't say Kamara should be playing.

Its the same with Kamara. If he can’t get a place in what is a poor Rangers team then why would any team pay £millions

So now Hagi has become the latest player to become a better player the more he doesn't play. He's looked off the pace since returning from injury and look slow and languid. He never had pace to burn, but lost 1/2 yard. We wanted rid of all these failures, now we want to keep them. Make your mind up folks.

Hagi isn't living on past glories. Just take a minute or two out to watch him play.

That was 2 years ago. Living on past glories is why we are where we are

"I have nothing to prove" Taken on its face that is about the dumbsest shit he could have said. Just blew his knee out, struggling for first team football. Slower than steam off shit and got nothin to prove eh? He better chill on that, or pray to God there is someone out there who can pay his tab. Nothin to prove...alright chief.

There is one thing that bothered me about Hagi's post match interview from the weekend. He said he had nothing to prove, and that is simply wrong. Maybe he has an inflated ego and Beale doesn't like it. Thing is we don't know why Hagi is being overlooked, but it's not worth losing sleep over. I'm more pissed that Sakala was let go.

Listen, it wouldn't bother me if we sold him and raised a couple of million to put toward the new Ryan Kent. I think his time with us is over. However, with the team not clicking and increasing doubts over some of the new recruits, I would have thought he'd get a proper chance to prove he's capable of adding value. I agree with you that he's not the quickest, but he doesn't need to be - he can turn a game around with some creative play - passes that can cut through defences (something we desperately need) and is a good finisher (in the box), he just needs game time to sharpen his tools. He had better numbers than Kent before his injury IIRC.

The Hagi thing is very odd. Even if we want to sell him, he'd still be a useful option from the bench in such an important tie.

Hagi and Yilmaz out, Davies and Matondo in. euro squad changes. Can’t understand that Hagi thing at all.

I take back what I said about the League Cup. The treble is on! 🤣🤣🤣

Right. Here we go! ---------Butland--------- ---Goldson----Souttar--- Tav‐-‐--------------Borna -----------Jack---------- ---Raskin----Cifuentes-- ----------Cantwell------- ---Danilo------Dessers--

I've heard they were there for the taking for the whole of last season, while they marched off with every trophy going and we came up with zip. They won't be there for the taking until we do what's required to take them. It's always best to do our gloating after the event.

I don't believe that he was found innocent. The case was dropped due to "withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light". It's hard to prosecute if his fiancé, being the only witness, withdraws. There appears to me to be some emotional coercion involved. We've heard the tape and seen the pics of what he did.

But if he can’t get a place in what is a poor Rangers team then any value will plummet.

Maybe don't just take it at face value then. He's worked hard to get fit again and as he subsequently stated, he did contribute during the 55 season.

Absolutely. I loved Joey Barton too! 🙃

We could do with more of it

Rangers 13/8 PSV 6/4 Draw 12/5

I seem to be in the minority looking online but I thought Ianis Hagi was a decent player for us at a time when we were bereft of real attacking quality (Morelos aside), no more than that. I don't really get where the clamour for him to play has come from, I'd be looking to sell if anything. It's amazing what a good 20 minute cameo from a player who's been crocked (and a 'he gets it' presser after) can do to a fanbases view of a player. Ianis Hagi has a terrible trait of going AWOL in games and can't run for the life of him, but he can shoot with both feet so.. Maybe I'm harsh but I feel like certain quarters of the support are latching onto this as insurance or a stick to beat Beale with just to say 'I told you so' later on. He's not fucking Laudrup, heck he's not even Cantwell.

De Boer said of Dessers that he's a confidence player, and that seems to be bearing out, he's getting better every game.

Not as good as AVB absolutely slaughtering his clubs recruitment at Marseille in a presser and throwing in the towel.

Nothing like a row of gloomy tims to brighten the morning.

I feel bad about my negative comments on this thread too on Saturday night. For some reason it feels a lot better this morning!

No chance. Not until you grovel

Naw.

I hope it doesnt come to this, but that result could be of importance to us if, as looks quite likely, we're going to drop to the EL. In that case we could be in Pot 1 of the draw, only if Zagreb and Ajax don't also make the EL group draw, as both have a higher coefficient than us. We should hope now that Sparta Prague beat Zagreb in the EL play-offs (Zagreb don't drop into the EL groups, as we would if we lose to PSV, they have to play in an EL play-off). Ajax are in the play-off of the EL, against Ludogorets, so chances are they will win that.

Rangers support are psychotic - spend 10mins on here and you'll see that. Ibrox can be a brilliant place to watch football, it can also be a horrible place. The difference is usually how the team are doing. I don't believe calling our players "c<nts", "lazy barstewards", "w@nkers" is the best way to support the team. Maybe I'm wrong tho.

I thought Sima was better today. I saw, for the first time, there was a player there.

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed people. 🤣😂

Only in the world according to Kenny Miller. Contracted to 2025. Injury prone. Like O'Halloran before him, saves his best for games against Rangers. His affiliations likely to lean elsewhere in any case. And if that's not enough, we ain't gonna be held to ransom by the spoon burners for an inflated fee. In summary, one of the worst suggestions so far in this thread imo.
