If only we had a magic two footed Romanian midfielder to take his place. 🤔

All we seem to be achieving in Europe is raising the country's co-efficient single-handedly, allowing 'them' a free passage into the Champions League while they get gubbed at every turn and focus instead on the SPL where they can defeat teams with only ten men.

I seems to me the directors spend far too much time looking for managers they believe the support will approve of. In reality, the support will approve of any manager who can win trophies and beat Celtic. Beyond that the support (including me) mostly wouldn't recognise the right manager if they fell over him, especially many of those selling their wisdom on social media. The "right man for the job" clearly needs some attributes that recent managers didn't have. What the board needs is help from outwith the club to better identify the qualities required and to focus more on demonstrable track record.

Go defensive at home to a Celtc side missing their two central defenders. Go defensive at home to Motherwell to hold on to a one goal lead. Not the signs of a winning mentality.

Get your head out Mick's arse! This is clearly the worst line-up ever in the history of football.

£15M spent and Scott Wright is starting...

The booing is OTT. I wanted him gone after Kilmarnock but when a Rangers manager can win in Europe and domestically in the space of 7 days it doesn’t matter how bad the performances were only the winning matters.

Not if we can get a manager who knows how to play 3-5-2

Dreadful performance. Replacing Matondo with Souttar is unexplainable. Everything went downhill from then on as the team had so few attacking options. Going with a back 5 and 3 defensive midfielders at home against Motherwell is just crazy.

This team just isn't making any progress.

I think a lot of the fanbase are desperate to be proven right on Beale with their views, to the point where they seemingly can't enjoy a win against a team with good recent pedigree in the UEL and just a good side from a La Liga. By all means, take the pitchforks to the games but don't be shocked if it translates onto the pitch. Or maybe that's what some want, a 'told you so' or a self fulfilling prophecy? Saying that, I thought the team grew into it from 30 onwards and the crowd responded - so maybe there is a glimmer?

I guess I'll be the "1" that agrees with Cammy then! Hagi flattered to deceive before injury and seems to have become Messi without kicking a ball on his return. Wont be popular but Kent at his best was better than Hagi. For anyone that cares to check.................. Hagi was a sub for his loan club at the weekend

I voted to get rid of him but I genuinely wish he could turn it around - mainly for the sake of Rangers of course but also for his own sake. I'm sure he wants to be successful and I'm sure he's working hard to achieve success. No one should want to see him suffer on a personal level, whatever the state of the team. However, the reason I can't change my mind about sacking him is I'm convinced he now leads a deeply divided camp and when that rot sets in at a football club there is only ever one conclusion. Whatever anyone thinks of Beale's selection today or the way he set out his team, it should be clear to everyone the players are confused, demotivated and as close to downing tools as makes no difference. They've largely switched off and just seem to be going through the motions. The longer this is allowed to continue, the deeper the hole we will eventually have to climb out of. The players desperately need someone who can close ranks and inspire some confidence, not someone who devotes his energies talking far too much to the outside world.

We might have been pish today but we still got the three points

But we need Europe money so its a catch 22

Cantwell, Danilo, Raskin, Matondo now missing after being injured by opposition players. Spot the theme..

It was a difficult watch. No doubt about it. Replacing the injured Matondo with CB Souttar didn’t work. It dramatically reduced our attacking options in whatever system Beale was trying to use

I don't think getting rid of the board is the way to go. Getting them to get some more expertise in making managerial appointments would be preferable. We need to stop going back to previous employess. The board seem to suffer from the same over-sentimentality that a lot of the support do.

Our decision-making was really poor," the Rangers manager told BBC Scotland. Aye his decision making.

As I saw it come up I thought, it must be weather-related or something, then I saw the score... 👀

Oh no, to the contrary. What we did is to fill those spaces freed with people incapable of playing the football required. Instead, all those DMs and the CM sat back and we played virtually on top of our defence, instead of keeping them occupied in their half - something creative/attacking players would have caused. Likewise, Borna and Tav didn't provide any attacking threat whatsoever.

That was a dire watch, we won but my god that was some boring football very slack in parts and I agree thank god for Butland.

Well hopefully that puts an end to those wanting us to go 3 at the back

Thank God for Butland. Three points.

So, nominally, we have 5 defenders on, 2 DMs and 1 CM ... and try to grab another goal. Or rather do the obvious and defend a 1-goal lead at home. I'm bound to call that pathetic.

Ffs Tav crosses the field to take a corner … then plays it short. You couldn’t make it up.

Not unexpected ... "Making Plan A better, Part 247". So far, failure No 247. Meanwhile, the ref is a total clown again.

With due caution, @der Berlineromits the year from the dates.

I think the Gunners will do it but it won’t be a destruction. ”John Barleycorn, Nicoteen and the Temptations of Eve” Get thee behind me Satan. I was here first.

According to Beale. I have to admit the 2-3 games timeframe is something I’m skeptical about.

Apart from the fact you're right, there are a lot more than five who agree with you. 😉

I'm not a fan of 'what if'. Beale is never good enough to manage Rangers. His record at QPR wasn't great and he was only appointed because of his stint with Gerrard. If something isn't working, you change it. Beale isn't working.

See you in march with cantwell and Raskin Tom. Don’t be a stranger. Ps anyone got any midfielders?

We're at the stage now where improvement is being demanded and patience is all but exhausted.

I firmly believe it will be like this until the day he clears his desk. Abandon hope, relinquish optimism, assimilate disappointment. Instead of digging us out of a hole, Beale has made it deeper. You can see it in his face now, he knows what's coming, it's just a matter of when and how much damage.

You don't. That's not on the menu.

Brutal viewing. I think Beale wanted the defenders and Lundstram to carry the ball in fairness but alas, they're shit scared. Writings on the wall. Pains me to say that because we're back to square one a year on from Gio.

The quality of our final ball into the box is awful

Harsh on Lundstram Bill. If anything, it was Lundstram that upped our tempo on Thursday with his drive and energy.

I've changed mine to Wright too!

Don't mind it tbf. Pace in and around Dessers is essential imo, makes sense what Beale's done. Roofe had to come out as well. At least I can make sense of this lineup.

Referee - Alan Muir Assistants - Daniel McFarlane and Douglas Ross Fourth Official - Stewart Luke Video Assistant Referee - Andrew Dallas Assistant Video Assistant Referee - John McCrossan Missing - Steven Davis (Knee), Todd Cantwell (Knee), Kieran Dowell (Knee), Danilo Pereira (broken cheekbone), Nico Raskin (calf), Todd Lawrence (calf) Ridvan and Balogun back from EL exile, Lawrence added to the injured. Motherwell ahead of us by a point, so they seemingly have a decent start to the season (TBH, I don't watch any of the other highlights or read any reports on them these days). Still, I'd through anything including the kitchen sink at them from the off and turn to a more usual pick-them-off counter style later, once they are forced to open up. Thus ... Butland Tavernier - Goldson/Davies - Souttar - Ridvan Lundstram/Jack Sima - Lammers - Matondo Dessers - Roofe

Never question the xG!

Good display from the toffees last night should have been five though
