Any reputable source. DR and Sun, etc., are not.

I would keep Jack. He is our finest midfielder. If we can get 20-30 games a season from him, along with his presence around the club, I think it's worth it. (And make him retire from the national side.)

Reflecting on the game this morning, I am becoming concerned at the problems cross balls are causing our defence. Looks to me that we are using zonal marking which we tried and failed with during Gio's time. We simply didn't have the players to execute it. It is not quite so noticeable when Jack is between the sticks.

I didn't hint at all. It was a blatant lie - complete invention and fantasy. I suppose I should feel some remorse but the truth is I just felt a need to join in, to take part in the ritual bullshit. But wouldn't it be amazing if I turned out to be right. Double Bluff Loyal

Fashionable in those days. Today, so many superstars wear these pink boots, no matter the colour of their jerseys and socks. That really hurts the eyes, and you wonder what makes them wear this abominations. Money is my guess. Over here, the Eisbären ice hockey team wears pink jerseys in November (Der Berliner?), raising money for breast cancer treatment. That is something I could agree with.

Is there an option for the wind?

Those two lovely chaps contributed significantly to my favourite trip to the Piggery (1st January 1994).

They said the same about Boyd. His goals per game rate almost doubled when he went to Rangers. Shankland will score goals in this team. I have no doubts about that at all as he is an instinctive striker. Our only instintive striker is permanently injured (Roofe). If you consider misses in recent games like Tynecastle (Danilo) and Parkhead (Dessers) and add a Roofe or Shankland into the mix those missed chances become goals. Its that simple IMO.

I do care because his success over there means we can rectify the outlay on him.

Well don't read a thread about players who are out on loan.

I really don't care what Lammers does while playing for another club. He was universally shit when he had a Rangers shirt on his back ...... that's all that matters to me.

I can't remember the number of appearances he had last season but it was something like 35 games. Anything like that and it's definitely worth hanging on to what has been our best midfielder for several seasons. But if he does go in the summer, I hope he goes with the thanks of all Rangers fans ringing in his ears. It's been a privilege to watch him play. I just wish he was joining us now instead on in the chaos of 7 years ago. He has to be a clear indication that there is genuine talent around the Scottish game if we had the eyes to see.

His wiki page is interesting...🤣🤣🤣🤣

Didn’t know that, interesting. What makes me think he looks Scottish is the alkie red face along with the ginger barnet. Belter. What a player he could have been for us ‘if we could get him fit’.

I think Bill was 'at it' with his ITK comments.

It was a soft penalty, to be fair.

We don't post links to the Daily Record.

Absolutely, what a day that was. No hate here, I'd have loved that shellsuit back in the day! 😆

The height of fashion.

After the past few years, I don't understand how anyone can get excited about new signings. Far too many disappointments.

Would have preferred Celtic or Aberdeen but Ayr will have to do Mon the gers.

A man on the far post would have prevented the goal. Steve Davis used to do this role. It doesn't seem to be part of our defensive strategy now though.

That's the debate. Some agree with you, some think it is enough. I think Roofe should be let go, in a similar vein, but Jack plays enough, for me, and I think his presence around the place is important. There's no right or wrong answer.

Possibly but we need to move on.

Nail squarely on the head. We are far too passive at cross balls. The goal yesterday was typical. The forward attacked the ball as he should and when he made contact there wasn't a Rangers defender within a yard of him. We have the players but they routinely seem slow to react and too willing to allow attackers the freedom of movement to reach balls they shouldn't.

I demand every Rangers player subject themselves to remedial training with particular emphasis on sticking their legs out.

I read this same thing a year ago about Ryan Jack but he made 36 appearances for Rangers and 4 international appearances. Going by the way he was dismissed as a permanent crock you'd have thought he hadn't played half those games. In the first half of this season he's had 17 appearances and about 900 minutes for Rangers. Given his age and injuries he will never again play 40 full games a season. We all know that. The question is whether 20 - 30 appearances by a really good midfielder justifies one more season on appropriate financial terms, given the current state of our squad and our c continuing affliction with injuries. Personally, I think he will move on and probably play 30 games for another SPFL side.

Fair play but I think we need to move on. I also think Clement will see it this way based on his comments about availability.

Makes sense for the euro squads too as he’s a homegrown.

Highlights ...

Started for them today v PSV. Another good performance as a number 9. Subbed off to very good reception from Utrecht fans

A routine win really. With the conditions you couldn't have wished for much more. At least Dessers gets into good positions but we need another striker now surely?

You are correct, in the last couple of seasons the amount of important goals lost to opposition cross balls is undeniable. The Europa Cup final, last season's League Cup final and Scottish Cup semi-final and, this season's Champions League qualifier against PSV home and away. The Europa Cup final equaliser is most frustrating, why did we NOT stop the cross coming in?

The window closes in 10 days. Any new faces were always going to happen at the end of the window. A striker is more important than a right winger IMO.

Well snipped!

Diomande fits the box-to-box, energetic central midfielder profile that I suspected PC liked. Good age, with experience.

Mmm.... This makes no sense. If a striker could be the difference maker for our season, Butland is equally capable of winning games for us.

Can I have a bonus point.... It was more or less a corner 🤣

Sun even shines on a dogs ass some days. Dessers needs a bus ticket. End of.

Accusing someone not present of supporting apartheid is libel and slander. I hope Gough's lawyers are aware of the comment.

That photo hurts my senses.

Dream scenario is to be 3 up by HT and make a couple of changes at the break, but that's for our lads to make that happen. Hopefully McCrorie has a gg, the stick he got for what was a friendly match was laughable. C'mon Rangers!

This Lowry lad reminds me of Jon Jo Shelvy when he was a Liverpool reserve ad promised so much delivered so little he's throwing up a great opportunity

Lind would be a good punt. High ceiling and if he doesn't work out he's still young so should be able to recover any fee. Also wages likely to be low. Compare to Danilo, Dessers and Lammers who we are likely to take a massive hit on.
