Cummings and Docherty should've come on at half time.

Exactly. Put that same vote to the C1872 members again, except this time include "improved disabled facilities" as an alternative to "standing section" and I am convinced that the vote would be completely different.

It is a pet project, one borne our of one small sub-section of the support. The vote was a yes/no vote - why not give members the opportunity to vote on other alternatives such as disabled facilities ? Why was there no proper consultation done with the C1872 members prior to putting this to a vote - maybe other interest groups would have provided an alternative so that a vote could have actually been meaningful instead of there being just one option.

I don't understand the logic: some seem to be saying, 'he's not going to be a complete player, so let him go'. Forgetting for a moment that every player can improve and progress, a less than complete player can still be a very good squad player; every team needs them.

We've been crying out for a big defender who is commanding in the air, he won most of his challenges yesterday and most of the time keeps it simple and safety first. I think the more games he gets, and hopefully with Martin helping him on his game, he will improve. He's only 21, Scottish and doing very well IMO considering the big jump up from where he has been playing, he deserves a new contract for me.

Excuse my language , but we need a right hard bastard in the middle .

I was sixty one a few weeks ago so i want a Still Game section, for us pure mad mental one foot in the grave coffin dodgers.

How many times have the scum dropped points and we've not taken advantage this season? I'd bet 4 or 5. Not good enough.

I have intimated previously that BBC Scotland are now in the habit of telephoning the opposition manager post match. We must welcome this, as license fee paying Rangers supporters, we receive greater coverage of events unfolding at Ibrox. Further, why should supporters of the opposition be denied coverage also, just because that Saturday's fixture list pairs them with BBC Scotland's least favourite team. Thus, since the end of November, we are the beneficiaries of post match interviews with Tommy Wright, Martin Canning, and Owen Coyle. The first two rightfully lionised their teams for deserved wins at Ibrox. Owen utilised the opportunity to complain about a non penalty than only he witnessed. Richard Gordon allowed him full vent. Then, Big Dick's Dandy Dons were battered again, and there was NO post match interview with Derek McInnes. A shame, I would have liked to hear Derek's take on his third consecutive failure this season. However, today the first post match managerial interview on BBC Radio Scotland today(apart from the 12.30 kick-off) was Neil Lennon. A smug Richard allowed Neil to state today's Hibs victory was up there with ra Sellik's CL defeat of Barca in his managerial feats. Sure, it was a sniggerfest for Big Dick and he enjoyed it enormously. It's such a shame he could NOT bring Derek to the phone. There you have it, at best BBC Scotland's post match managerial interviews are triumphalistic, and at least a grievance line. When it gets personally tough, Richard doesn't bother.

Spiers never forgets, particularly where and when he is bested. Back in the day, Jim Traynor spanked him from pillar to post, sans lubrication. Graham is anxious, too anxious to suggest the story is a Traynor invention. Now, Traynor left BBC Scotland because of it's constant need for Rangers bating(remember, when Chief Football Writer for the Herald, Souness banned Traynor for six weeks). Spiers has not appeared on BBC Scotland these last three months because they will not renew his golf show. The Laird of Dunlop is reduced to attending ra Stydome with his two sons. The big cheese is confined to wander between the winds. Graham, you may be windswept, but you are NOT interesting.

I'm outside looking in ....just to be clear I think 100% of fans' contributions should go towards buying shares until 25% is reached.

I'm still gutted tonight and to make it worse, I'll be subjected to several comments/wind ups from Hibs supporting colleagues tomorrow morning. Really, really disappointed with that performance and result yesterday. Are we just going to let every side in green and white walk all over us at Ibrox or are we going to sort it out!!!?

Social media is oddly (given it's name) detrimental to society.

What is he to do,he should be in middle scoring from crosses and cut backs,which were non existent, so he was left to try and control long forward passes to be held up for attacking midfield,who again were non existent,talk about being between a rock and a hard place.

Facebook messenger is good for group work etc. I use it for that (although Whatsapp is preferable) but that’s all. I can’t be bothered with all the “look at me I’m shallow as f@&k” stuff that’s on Facebook. Twitter is ok for keeping up with updates and getting your news first. Whatever source is of interest to you just follow them for their releases. I’m not important enough to be continually on twitter and couldn’t be bothered either.

Twitter,Facebook and other such sites,although they might have good points they are toxic and I will never be a part of them.

Same with me re goal but having seen the use of the VAR system(on tv) wouldn't like to be at games where it is used.Certainly have goal line technology but nothing else.

I would be angry at my son if I seen him diving in any football match never mind against the team that we used to go and watch together as he grew up.

I know for a fact if I was lucky enough to play against Rangers I’d show them and myself and my family some respect by not trying to cheat and act like a cretin.

I don't know; Dalcio has a certain cult appeal...

He isn’t slow.

We will always need squad players. I like Bates, he does the important things well for his age.

Exactly mate... its a bit weird, stalkerish when you think about it... I mean why are these folk even following an opposition players wife on twitter?

I agree Big Jaws. But online behaviour suggests many don't. Good luck to Dorrans and I hope his wife ignores the dafties giving her grief.

Here are some things to clear up some talking points. First the Morelos goal. Unfortunately you can clearly see that the ball has not been kickedand Morelos has already brocken the Hibs line. Then there is the penalty incident. First of all the offside rule is pretty difficult these days but I would say that this should have been offside. The Hibs player is definitely in an offside position . The ball is also played in his direction and he is also blocking Foderinghams vision of the shot. I can go further into the penalty incident but it really is a penalty. Not by Allen diving but Tav had his arm around Allen's chest from very early. I will say that Collum may not have given one if Allen never went down. Collum had brought his whistle to his mouth long before Allen went down. Collum was also in a perfect position to see it.

Anyone else wake up and pronounce an expletive immediately? Yesterday was a nightmare.

He did dive about for the whole of the time he was on the field dB but with that said he was also pushed for the penalty. He used it to go over with no resistance. Tav was more than stupid in that instance. If you're up against a player who has been doing that all day you simply don't do that or give him an opportunity to use it. More importantly though, in my opinion, I don't share the view of some bears that we were good enough in the second half to win the game. We weren't! We were garbage against Frazerburgh. The three goal victory masked an extremely poor performance by us. They're a highland league side for Christ sake we should have walked over the top of them and strolled that match but we didn't, far from it, we were matched all over the park except in the forward line by them. I had more than a feeling that we were going to be beaten yesterday and its been the same all season. I have no idea what Rangers team is going to turn up in any match we're playing. I find it almost impossible to predict any game we're involved in. Hibs won the game in the midfield yesterday and from the post match interviews Murty obviously knew thats what was going on so why didn't he get a message onto the park during the first half to change it? I'm sorry folks but that is Murtys department he needs to learn to be not only be flexible with his tactics but to also react to any situation when its needed. Leaving the subs till the 70th minute to change the formation and tactics shows an indecisiveness that I don't like.

Possibly, but he's not a replacement for Windass; different players, playing different roles. I think Docherty would be a replacement for Holt; same box-to-box type but with better physical presence and a more direct attacking style. Shame for Holt though, as I think he's been good, but his stature is a big limitation.

By my calculations, in 13 league games at home this season we've scored 20 goals. 7 of those goals were against Dundee & Partick Thistle. That leaves us scoring 13 goals in 11 games against the rest. Is it not obvious where our problems lie ? We are not scoring enough goals at home. That is why I believe we should change our system and play 2 up front.

A box-to-box player that can score goals? I agree with the first part, but how many did he score for Hamilton in 6 years? He scored 6 goals. We're looking for a silver bullet again, and projecting it onto any player that's new.

Sadly it seems McCoist has become a Rangers hater or is doing it to keep his job. Painting Celtic good in the media seems to be part of the job description.

To be fair that’s just it though. We are not good enough. Inconsistent and some players shouldn’t be there. We are what we are and although better than last season, still not there. Additionally, we had two players out in McCrorie and Jack who would have made a difference today. Our midfield was lightweight and that’s where we lost it. The could cut right through us when they felt like it. Tactically changing things on 70mins seemed a little late as we were all looking for it on 60 (if not before?). However Murty is doing as well as anyone could and it’s his call.

Snap!

Taking kids to the Piggery says a lot about a man. Questionable is the diplomatic way of putting it.

Docherty should start from now on, a box to box player who can score goals. Drop Windass a complete phoney imo.

He had an off day today but I'd suggest he's been having a good season.

Our players need to learn how to play alongside Murphy. When he goes past players they need to make runs in behind defenders to allow him to slip the ball thro. Instead they are all congregating in the penalty box surrounded by defenders hoping he'll deliver an inch perfect cross. Murphy is an intelligent, skillful & creative player but he needs players on the same wavelength alongside him.

If we had won today people would be saying it was a great game. It was still a great high tempo game with only the wrong result

I think china is where players go to rust away to oblivion frankly.

Having seen most of his games for Under 20's (although he was an overage player) I was very surprised that he made the break through to the first team. He has proved me and a lot of others wrong, but to be where we want to be I think we need better. I see parallels with Stephen McManus, having seen a lot of him at youth level I was shocked he broke in to Celtic's first team. Ultimately he turned into a competent defender, captaining Celtic and playing for Scotland. I never thought David Bates would be at Rangers beyond his current contract, but I think he has done well enough to justify a new contract within reason.
