I've been waiting for a game in which everything finally slots into place in front of goal and we score a barrowload. I hope it's tonight.

Agreed. Get them to Specsavers where they may bump into those that think Barisic is better than Ridvan 😉

Well.....you can't complain about the effort put in by the players tonight! oh for a goal scorer!

3 assists from Tav - outstanding.

Like Clement, I'm not looking at the table. As if.

County are hopeless according to a recent manager. Should be a walkover. On the other hand, last time in Glasgow although they lost a goal in the first minute, they held out for the next three hours or however long it lasted.

I hope we win by a few but won't be too disappointed if we're just equal on points come 10pm. 🟥⬜🟦

Rangers go joint top and we've got folk arguing about some Croat forgotten boy versus a Colombian lard-arse. Forget the past.

It's incredible that we're still right in the hunt this season, without an actual goalscorer.

The central defense terrifies me at times.

21-3 shots at goal, 10-1 on target. The rot in terms of chance-conversion continues, even though luck is with the Stags tonight. Typical Tavernier game. Two perfect crosses, one decent shot, but then fills spaces that should be used by attackers. Maybe he just stays near the HW-line and doesn't occupy spaces near the box where we seem to have too many players, and they hinder one another. We'll probably score four or five more, but sometimes you wonder ...

I know this is off topic but we are in the second page of the thread. I attended my first old firm game at Celtic Park on the 1st of January 1966. I had witnessed Rangers victories against them at both Ibrox and Hampden however, the Piggery experience was horrid. Rangers had lost 2-3 to the then Scottish Cup holders, Dunfermline Athletic at the Stadium the week before and trepidation was in the air. It was a freezing foggy afternoon, the pitch was solid and as a nine year old I was bundled into a duffle coat. The track was utilised to store stacked bails of hay, in those days Sellik protected the pitch from frost by spreading hay across the surface. It started well, a through ball in the first minute found Davie Wilson rounding the keeper to notch the opening goal. It was 0-1 at half time. The green'n'grey horrors had a large wide player at the time, John Hughes nickname, 'Yogi'. He ran out for the second half in a pair of baseball boots. As it darkened, the sky cleared and a hard frost descended. It was football on ice. Needless to say, Hughes ran amok in his rubber soles, Chalmers scored a hat trick and, Rangers slumped to a 1-5 defeat. It was the Jock Stein effect.

That's a brilliant find mate!

That's the one that caught my eye too, with the old gates at the Rangers end (where they belong). 20% off if you use the promo code LOVE today - I've purchased a copy.

Buzzing for tonight. What a change from the last few games of Beale's time

Was anyone who posts on here in attendance? I noticed this fanzine commemorating the 4-0 win and was thinking of buying it - I've seen a few of the pics over the years. https://lowerblock.com/product/old-firm-derby-ibrox-1963-gerry-cranham/

Morelos scored far more goals than Colak and would have thrived in this type of system and style we are playing. He is out all time top European scorer and whilst the end of his Rangers career wasn't how we'd have liked, when he was on it, he was unplayable.

3 points, 3 goals and onto Perth on Sunday.

Not as many as Alfredo

That's our issue isn't it. But is it really the forwards who have only scored one in 10 on target, when they have have managed 1 in 1. Or is it our woeful defence that are letting them have those stats. Sooty and Sweep again, how many times do they lose their focus at crucial moments.

It's got the feeling of one of those nights.

Happy with that! C'mon lads!

Sometimes it's nice to have things in physical format too.

Hope you’re on a commission rate for this.

I think that's the first time I've heard John Souttar speak at length. Articulate, controlled and impressive. Comes across as a bedrock character.
