How's Josh getting on these days? ?

I don’t have to imagine. I’m still wild Billy Stevenson was let go.

The problem with disappointments like this is there’s no escape from it. You’re trapped by your allegiance. All you can do is suffer and hope there’s some relief around the corner. I’m just hoping Gerrard sees the problem because if he doesn’t then things are only going to get worse.

Baffled by the decision to drop Helander for Balogun. Absolutely schoolboy defending from Balogun has cost us tonight and Gerrard has to take the blame for dropping our best man marker. There were loads of other failures out there tonight but those goals were sucker punches and should never have happened. This is now a very worrying start to the season and those who have brushed off the red flags to date will have woken up now. Hard work ahead and big decisions to be made in the transfer market.

Like watching 2 different teams. Funnily enough I think we would have done better if they had had eleven men on whole game.

mistake not playing hellander

We were forced into wearing the new strip by UEFA apparently. I'd rather see us in the home shirt but again, the choice of strip should not matter. It's all about attitude and quality.

Candieas was a fantastic player for us , and still would have been , I wish he was still here .

and it's not you

I find it childish to criticise Charles Green for suing for wrongful arrest and prosecution, which have nothing to do with anything he did in his official capacity at Rangers.

I'm glad my opinion differs from yours.

I agree and that's why I never feel comfortable when we sit on a 1-0 lead against lesser opposition (that's just a general moan).

I’m not even going to post a picture of this monstrosity , and supposedly we are wearing it tonight , I don’t usually get too bothered by strips , I generally am supportive of all our strips , but who ever ok,d this should be sacked , what the board were thinking . 3 months later and it will be the best selling 3rd strip of all time and I will look like a tool ............again .

Malmö and Ludogorets and we’d have made the CL group stage. It’s a massive failure and a painful one.

Too many players not doing it at the moment. I hate to single players out but what's happened to Barasic. Looks very unsure at the moment. And please can we get beyond lobbing endless crosses into a packed box? That's 3 games in a row we've persisted with this tactic. Ok we scored from a cross tonight but 1 goal out of about 50 crosses over 3 games is not a good hit rate.

We simply need to put this behind us and focus on getting into the europa league and domestically too wee lesson tonight on the benefits of playing 2 strikers

You can argue all you want about team selection but tonight we put in a great 1st half overall, the whole team shat it 2nd half

Genuinely at a loss to explain how we've managed to switch off four times across that tie to ship goals we never normally look like losing. At half-time in both games we're odds-on favourites but, for reasons only the manager can explain, we did not turn up early in those halves. As said before the match, there's no excuses not to go through here. Malmo are clearly no mugs but we've only ourselves to blame for making such a poor start to this season. We are blunt, unreactive and lacking any sort of spark whatsoever. Where are our big players?

They are glory hunters, not fans. They want to be there for all the celebrations but don't want the rest of the baggage that goes with supporting a team.

All that hard work last season, and we go out with a whimper at the first hurdle.

They are quite right! managing the game I would wanted us to do.

Tbh we’ve gone backwards so much we’re nothing like a CL team now. Following a football team can be a very frustrating occupation.

This is shockingly poor, no chance are we scoring 2

Weve lost our shape. Id get hagi on right now

11 goals and 15 assists in 70 games for candeias. certainly decent when added to his work rate.

You're wrong, but is that not enough?

That's fine. But only one of us is right...

Stick a pin in it, apart from Robertson you're bound to pick a winner.

Biggest mistake we ever made was not giving Baxter a wage that complimented his skills .

Candeias was sh*te. We don't even play with a RM anymore. Move on. Imagine being hung up on a player that left years ago... ?

makes me sick seeing him profit from what he did to us.

The weasel that spent a dozen years at ra Piggery rejoicing in the nickname, 'Provo' has had a column in the News of the World/Sunday Sun these last fifteen years. Davy Provan remains relevant because he is a regular golfing partner of Dermot Desmond. His Sky gig has seen him consigned to the English Premiership these last several years, Andy Walker took over his Sky Scottish football beat. He says very little on Sky, keeps his informed gossip for his Sunday column. Yesterday, he penned on the SPFL-Rangers dispute over Cinch sponsorship. He is in doubt the war of words is a continuation of last year's SPFL calling the Leagues early and, relegating both Hearts and Thistle. Rangers led the charge then against Doncaster, MacLennan and, McKenzie; claiming they were unfit for purpose. Doncaster's role in particular angered more than just Rangers. The Dundee lost e-mail vote, Doncaster's constant lobbying/bullying Club Chairs and, MacLennan's briefing of the likes of Motherwell's Andrew Wilson to ensure belittling of Rangers claims post vote. Informed Provo is sure Rangers have got their man ie Doncaster over the Cinch deal. The deal will collapse because of Doncaster's cavalier approach and SPFL Chairs will be unforgiving because the expected revenue will not materialise. Of course, if Doncaster is toast, then both MacLennan and McKenzie will be anxiously reassessing their pension plans. For once, I hope Provan's information is spot on?

And Rangers enjoyed a share of luck which they hadn’t had for a number of seasons.

We have played 4 times in lilac , scudded every time .

SG just said that he "can't think of too many things that we got wrong." How about tactics? Malmo's were brilliant you have to say.

Kaunus surely the best example. Off the back of a great season and humiliated at the first hurdle.

Wow, that's pretty much the worst way to go out possible. Really awful and, honestly, worrying

Hagi and sakala should have been on from the start.

Windass had nice hair, that was about it

I don't think that Messi will find it as easy to bankrupt Paris San Qatar as Barcelona. I am not sure that he has the playing longevity even to give it a go.

Indeed. Yet, it makes you sick that Whyte could do what he did (despite being chased by HMRC when he entered Britain and walked along Edmiston Drive) and still walks along de facto free.

Agree with GS that the Candeias position has not been replaced like for like, he and Tav had formed a very good understanding.

still trying to replace Candeias. In fairness we have been trying for so long now he is of an age where we would have had to start anyway.

Ugh...

I think you’re right. But I think the SFA will help them out. I hope Rangers’ lawyers have looked up the books this time.
