A major gripe for me is our willingness to settle on a 1-0 scoreline. We keep doing it. 1-0 and we're happy to drift along. It's not good enough. We don't have good enough defensive players to do it, for starters. Secondly, we don't convert enough chances of our own to do it. Our main rivals are humping other teams regularly, so why can't we do it? Even if we can't, why are we happy to sit on a 1 goal margin?

The bottom line tonight, despite more horrific refereeing, is we are not good enough to win the league. How you can wait 81 minutes of that to change it baffles me. I don't want Gerrard out by any stretch of the imagination but I wish he would utilise the bench more and earlier. One of his main failings I would say

Alex Salmond? Heavyweight and ex politician. ?

Boooring. Why are you focusing on all that trivia?! The pertinent facts are as follows: 1. Played for Rangers 2. Managed Rangers 3. Regular appearances on the television If that doesn't qualify him for 60+ pages of speculation, for any role at the club, then I don't know what does.

Kent did nothing. Morelos did nothing. The referee saw nothing. The league is over now.

Oh FFS! I really do hope admin bin this shite from the forum!!

I'll forever be grateful for what Souness did for Rangers and I'm happy for him to be involved with us but I'd be concerned if he got a place on the board or any executive position. Souness has regularly displayed poor judgement and pig-headedness. That stubborn streak that made him a great player doesn't serve him well in other areas of life. He's an entertaining pundit, personally I hope he sticks to that.

Too late for the club to make any accusations I'm afraid! it will only look like greeting about being beat!. Rangers should have went after Clancy after the match v Separate Entity FC

Get a grip FFS

posting shite is not an opinion though!. Tell me, sack SG and who would you replace him with? get a grip!!, take your anger out on the players for letting SG down instead of wetting your pants over the manager, IMO.

Oh come on now! That same rookie got us in to the last 32 of the Europa. And an away win at Parkhead.

Dear oh dear

Honestly coop I don’t have a clue mate How a group so high can come back and look so shite is literally bewildering It’s not one thing it’s several, I just don’t know what has happened

The manager has to start utilising his bench. Changes were needed about half an hour earlier. Kent, Aribo and Hagi away to Killie? He really does need a plan B.

We were losing a grip on the game second half & he didn’t do anything. Aribo & Hagi were anonymous and should have been replaced earlier. Why does he always leave it too late to change anything

Hysterical shite Criticise, give stick & by God he deserves some but let’s stop the bs eh

I don't think he is in danger of being sacked. No matter what, he will get next year too (unless we were to fall off a cliff?). However, I actually understand the broader issue in that something isn't right imo? Maybe things are being said behind the scenes re the general landscape, and obstacles that the club and playing staff are facing? The statements and the abuse of Alfredo may be affecting them (that was the intention after all). SG has just called the team "mentally weak" and questioned their "bottle" live on TV. All is not well and I worry more that SG will walk than I do him being sacked?

He could've earned a second yellow, also for diving. As you say, he just isn't very good at it. He has looked out of sorts in 2020.

League is now over. Players simply not good enough. However, Beaton MUST now be taken to task by the club. He is an absolute cheat - no other word/term to describe him now. He doesn't even hide it now as he knows no one will pull him up. Dicker should have been red-carded. Equaliser was as clear a hand-ball since the last one he missed at Piggery. Alfredos goal chipped off for nothing. However we'll have more dignified silence instead of demanding Beaton being sacked. Roll on next season...

We've seen this movie too often at Rugby Park. We were not strong enough in that second half and Kilmarnock always looked likely to score. Their second goal was very weak defending from Katic and Goldson.

I don't know who's cheated us more tonight the players or the ref. Both a disgrace.

Fantastic long shot from Arfield. Spins away from the keeper, real quality.

What skills do people think Souness has? He's an ex footballer, so he has insights into the game, but he stopped playing over 30 years ago now and hasn't managed for close to 15 years so how current those insights are would need assessed. I'd have thought our Director of Football and a large and expensive backroom staff could provide all the football insights our board need though. From what I can see he has no business acumen to speak of and has made a number decisions over the years that certainly make me question his judgement. His relationship with Willy Mckay should automatically exclude him from any decision making at our club. Souness was the right man to come to the club in the mid 1980s, lift our profile, set higher standards and provide the impetus for growth and success. I'll always be grateful to him for doing that. But that doesn't get him a job at the club now, particularly one he's not qualified to carry out.

My own reply was an opinion not fact There is a fairly big share issue coming up, do I think Souness could be involved and open up a return in some form ? Yes it’s possible But beyond that I can’t really clarify anything else

A heavyweight boxer would be more to my liking.

Agreed, we need a heavyweight ex-politician as Chairman.

Director of Communications? "Right Spiers, step into my office and close the door"

For those who may be interested.The U19's game with Athletico Mardrid is on BT Sports 2 tomorrow.KO 1pm. You can also pay at gate at Firhill.

I’m not sure he has the strength in depth, typically if he brings on a sub we are a weaker team.

Is this because he's English? ?

No way Gerrard should go, we are building something with real potential here. We don’t have the same resources as Celtic, that’s a fact, any time we beat them it’s against the odds. I think he’s doing a decent job that will only get better as he keeps mooring this team to his liking. Fucking hell, loom at what we’ve done in Europe, it’s actually remarkable.

Souness is already in the wings waiting ?.

I think the board have done a great job on the football side of things and financially, however they have really let the club down off the pitch!. I know it has been said many times on here but we are pitiful at defending the club & fans from the clear/blatant bias in Scottish football against Rangers is shocking! the term bend over and take it up the arse springs to mind. Until the club grow some balls we will never win the league!.

You are being ridiculous.

Correct!. Bottling bastards, oops! I got told off for that before!

That’s both Power and Dicker on yellows. Good news for us because they will both be at risk of a second yellow.

Real quality from Hagi with that pass there. That is what we have lacked.

I doubt it'll be pretty. Victory is essential. I'd drop Kent and play Aribo and Hagi in behind Morelos but other than that, agree with your starting XI.

I'm looking forward to seeing McPake and Mebude playing today. Young-Coombes is on the bench.

Presumably as a non-exec director. Surely not as Chairman?

Thanks Ian for posting these but I won't be clicking on it and I hope others don't either. The MSM doesn't deserve clicks or any further dissemination of its agenda. Let's just stick to our own fan created content from now on.
