How many games in Europe is that , and yet to be behind for a single second of any game , now that’s impressive

I think time and time again admin have asked users to respect each other's views and instead of that get people preferring to goad each other under the guise of not very funny 'humour'. That's why your comments weren't necessary and that's why they've spoiled what should have been a very positive thread. Now, for the last time I'm going to ask people to consider the way they post on this forum when it comes to the ongoing political crap. It really is tiresome to log in to continuous trolling (on both sides) and if the standard of debate doesn't improve then some users will have their posting rights removed. I'd much prefer not to use such censorship on important subjects but if you act like children, then you'll be sent to the naughty step. Now back on topic with this thread please.

RANGERS have become the first British club to receive a top award from the Ministry of Defence. The Ibrox club are among five employers from the south of Scotland who will receive an Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award for their support for the armed forces. Gers signed the 'Armed Forces Covenant' in October 2016 and have regularly welcomed guests to Ibrox as part of the Tickets for Troops initiatives. Rangers Charity Foundation will also receive the award for their support for a number of service charities working with existing and ex-forces personnel including Erskine, Poppyscotland, SSAFA and Combat Stress. Speaking on the honour, Gers director Stewart Robertson said: “Achieving the Gold Award is a wonderful recognition for both the Club and Foundation and I would like to pay tribute to everyone within Rangers, as well as our supporters, who have contributed to this important work over many years. “We are committed to doing whatever we can to support those who serve and promote an armed forces-friendly environment. I know that this special accolade will inspire us to advocate on behalf of the MOD’s Employers’ Recognition Scheme further. “Congratulations to all the organisations receiving an award in 2019.” Boss Steven Gerrard added: “This is proud moment for everyone at the Club and Foundation, who I know work hard to support serving Armed Forces personnel and veterans each season. “I hope that the fans will join us all in celebrating this special award – it’s well deserved.” Colin Vooght, head of engagement at Lowland Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association (RFCA), said: “This is the first time a football club has attained a Gold Award and we congratulate Rangers in this fantastic achievement. “We have worked closely with Rangers over the last few years and have been impressed by the way they have translated their commitment into activity, with a range of initiatives to support service men and women. “I would also like to congratulate the wide variety of different organisations who received a Gold Award this year. This proves companies and institutions of all sizes and sectors can play their part in supporting the armed forces community in Scotland. “I am delighted that these employers have been recognised with the Ministry of Defence’s highest award and look forward to continuing to work alongside each of the award winners in the future.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4632915/rangers-first-football-club-ministry-of-defence-award/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1566459813

This band was less dangerous than the Danes, but had their moments. I'm really annoyed that we did not remove Ojo after about 60 mins for Jones, as the former was contributing next to nothing. Jones would at least helped Flanagan on that flank. 0-0 is a naughty score, hope it doesn't bite us in the back ...

Morelos did little wrong and his reaction to the booking was exemplary. Nothing to worry about.

If the move doesn't come off you can always add Tash before Kent and move to Uzbekistan. ?

I think it’ll be Morelos tonight and Defoe on Sunday.

We can't let a £7m transfer fee or Liverpool's unwillingness to loan him out again stand in the way of young love.

So impressed by his attitude tonight ( and this season so far) . He seems to have turned the corner.

Some fans need to remember how far we have come , this was a very comfortable and very assured performance away in a very hostile atmosphere , yet we never looked under any serious pressure . our interplay moving the ball out of danger and around in midfield was immense , Aribo has walked into that midfield as if he has been playing with Davis and Jack ( who were both immense ) for years . lets see how they deal with an intimidating atmosphere at our place .

A good result against a very decent, well drilled side. For whatever reason, some of our fans thought we'd win tonight comfortably. I'd rather be in our position than theirs.

A very mature performance and 0-0 isn't a bad result at all. I seen enough from us to suggest a higher press at home will cause Legia problems and it will be a rather different game at Ibrox I'd suspect.

No it wasn’t. Foul was given and and Legia tried to take it quickly and he stuck his leg out to block it from less than 10 yards away. I actually thought they were baiting him and trying to get him booked.

I think we should show off this valued award at our next domestic home game at half time, to a rousing soundtrack of Rule Britannia and the National Anthem. Cant remember who we play though.....

While factually wrong, as McLaughlin only had his media privileges removed - and for valid reasons, how does that restrict the whole BBC`s ability to report from Ibrox or Auchenhowie? Not least when said journalist is - AFAIK - no longer the relevant football reporter? Send that to Ofcom.

We don’t need him imo so not that fussed. Jones has been on fire and is similar to Kent. If he comes fair enough but I would prefer a top class left back tbh.

I always feel 0 0 away is a poor result and 0 0 at home surprisingly good. I'm not overly optimistic.

I was busy in the garden until 20 minutes before the kick off and wasn't near twitter. I expect to be able to login to RTV anytime before the game and not have to search twitter for a link.

I didn't realise that since I'm already signed up but its a fair point.

And I believe all bookings get wiped after the next game.

I had no idea what to expect with Legia Warsaw but there's no doubt they're a strong team. I had hoped for a win beforehand, but having seen them I think that was a really good result away from home. I still fancy us to go through but it'll be tough. For me Jack was the standout player. Davis and McGregor obviously did well too, but Jack seems to make us tick. I think Aribo is worth a mention to though. He just seems to be able to find space to manouvre in even the tightest of situations. His skill is superb and he joins Ojo, Morelos, Defoe and Arfield in the list of players that must terrify our opponents.

It is not easy to come on as a sub in any game, especially in a high tempo European match. For what it's worth I think SG is a far better manager than anyone on here!.

Nonsense! he never put a foot wrong!. I wasn't worried about anything or players tonight. Legia are a good side but we can up the game and if we do we will beat them at home. No complaints about any of our players tonight.

That last 25 minutes was painful to watch. It was plain as day we needed fresh legs. What does the gaffer have against make a substitution? Ojo was poor and looked knackered, Jones should have come on for him on the 70th minute at least. Defoe and Kamara should have been on much sooner too. Anyway it’s a decent result and we should take care of them at Ibrox but an away goal was there for us tonight I felt.

There are only three things certain in life: death, taxes, and @der Berliner trying to shoehorn our 4-3-2-1 into a 4-2-3-1.

I hope Kamara plays well (if played). I really like him but he has been rather casual at times this season and I fear from the grumbles I've heard he could be quickly promoted as an easy whipping boy for some fans

What?! :D

We are an injury and a suspension away from having no main striker. Never mind a loss of form ...

You've certainly convinced me. I've just ordered the new top with Kent on the back and stuck up a Ryan Kent poster in my living room.

They seemed a decent bunch when they were up here last year. We all know what it’s like to be in that position, hopefully they come through this? Perhaps the club could organise a friendly to help with initial funds if they come through this mess?

Nah, it was discussed by the media because he'd spent enough time here and hadn't been capped by Spain, but he was never called up. Funnily enough I'm more relaxed about residency rules coming in than the grandparent rule. If someone came to Scotland as an 18 year old and made their life here I'm comfortable with them becoming 'Scottish' in every sense. We're just as bad as the Irish now when it comes to capping players. We actively scout English youth sides looking for any links. There's a lad at Watford of whom great things are expected, with one Scottish Granny, he's now in the 'Scottish international system' despite never having set foot here and both his parents being English. There's a boy at Feyonord too, who we've similarly 'scouted'.

Unfortunately not a choice. I had a sickness in my fishpond and have buried 6-7 koi-karpers this week. I have emptied my whole pond 40.000litre water and put the remaining fish in a swimming pond with medicine. I hope I can save the remaining Koi.

All about opinions. I would have liked to have seen Jones on and thought when we were struggling around 65 mins and it should have been changed

But you could only use that link if you signed up to RTV before 6pm tonight. They need to sort it out quick.

No it wasn't, he merely stopped a quick free kick which happens numerous times in every single game anywhere, it is a bookable offence but normally goes unpunished.

Really good performance and result , the management should be really pleased how far we have come in such a short space of time .

Goldson is a worry for me. He seems to be a favourite of SG but too lackadaisical at times.

Well we often complain about the hammer throwers in Scotland but I’ll take hammer throwers every day of the week over the sissies on the continent who’ve turned the game into a non-contact sport. It never ceases to amaze me.

A few folk are it seems.

Seemed entirely relevant to me. ?

Can't remember either but whoever the team in question are they should probably give our team a guard of honour prior to kick off.

Enjoyed the manager (and Steven Davis') reaction to the Morelos stuff but the team will need to keep the heid tonight under a lot of pressure from the hosts and their fans. Best way to do that is absorb any pressure and hit on the counter like we did in Denmark two weeks ago. If we're as clinical in attack and remain solid at the back, we'll progress.

I recall Bavaria Munchen saving Prussia Dortmund a few years ago. You'd hope someone, somewhere could help out with the ridiculous amount of money in English football. I wish the Bury fans all the best.

The "hysteria" has more to do with Rangers than Cluj. If we were struggling and clearly not fit to contend they would quickly get over this like they did last year. The hysteria is largely down to the fact that they're terrified about the upcoming visit to Ibrox while we're all looking forward to it.
