His wand is rather broken st moment. He's half the player he was a season ago IMO. He just doesn't look confident in what he is doing.

A win is a win but we’re conceding far too many goals. Balogen went off presumably because he was on a yellow but Bassey is no CB. We really need to look at the CB situation in january. And was their first goal offside?

Well played, @Scott7; well played.

I have never noticed that impediment, but will concede that that takes talent.

If I was picking our team it would be Bassey and Patterson at full back

Mayo is back in January from partick and is apparently carving out a name for himself. I would love to see him get a chance. Could save us a few mill in the long run.

The lesser spotted Jack on the bench! Great news.

Apparently it was a Rangers fan who worked / stayed in the Inverness hotel that Hibs were staying in who witnessed and then reported various breaches of Covid protocol. He seemed more concerned with the identity of the "whistleblower" than he did by Hibs breaking the rules.

Leaving now for the match, come Rangers, a good 5-0 hammering today please

these last few years he just doesn't give a fuck. It's great.

Rangers only successful European season ranks as one of it's most intriguing and fascinating. There is a puzzle wrapped enigma in the triumph because it was neither expected nor predicted. Typically over the decades, Euro success arrives after a period of domestic dominance. Ajax, Bayern, Liverpool, .............. etc are all examples. It's the crest of the wave epitomised by Nottingham Forest, win the Second Division, win the First Division, win the European Cup, successfully defend it; all in four short years. Rangers were at the end of five years of domestic doldrums. The League Cup had been secured by DJ's famous header at the end of October'70 but the season was completely overshadowed by the Disaster at Ibrox on the 2nd of January'71 in which 66 died and 145 were injured. Rangers finished the League season in fourth, behind champions, Celtic; Aberdeen and St Johnstone finished second and third. We had been knocked out the Fairs Cup at the first attempt by Bayern Munich and, progress in the Scottish Cup came after a semi-final replay single goal victory over Hibs. The old firm final ran to a second game too. Jim Denny made his debut, played well and, we lost 2-1. After the match, I was walking down the Polmadie Road with a couple of schoolmates, one offered a thought we had qualified for the European Cup Winners Cup? Yep, given our separated brethren had won the league, meant as defeated cup finalists we were destined to participate in a trophy for cup winners. The Rangers team that evening was, McCloy, Denny, Mathieson, Greig, McKinnon, Jackson, Henderson, Penman, Stein, MacDonald and, Johnston. Colin Stein finished the season as the club's top scorer on 12 goals. Polmadie Road bottomed out along with the optimism. A new season(71-72) dawned and aspiration levels were sky high, we sang, "bring on the Celtic". The League Cup section draw had awarded our wish, with both Morton and Ayr United providing ballast. We experienced a five Saturdays sequence whereby we played the champions on three occasions, all three at Ibrox. It was home and away League Cup sectional games(due to construction of a new main stand at Parkhead, the game was transferred to Ibrox) and the season's first old firm league match. We lost 0-2, 0-3 and, 2-3. We were out the League Cup on the first day of September and had lost our first two league games, the aforementioned 2-3 defeat to Celtic was replicated at Firhill. We had drawn the French cup winners, Rennes in the first round of the ECWC. The Bretons were due to play their second ever European tie against Rangers, a club that already lost two ECWC finals against Fiorentina and Bayern Munich. We have seen the Rangers debit column, the credit one was paltry, two pre-season victories against Everton(2-1) and Spurs(1-0) and, securing the Glasgow Cup against Clyde(2-0). The French club were lying second in their championship and the most popular local newspaper, 'Ouest France' saw no fear claiming, "Waddell, raised in the Protestant traditions of the club was hurting because his club were declining at the same time as the rise of Catholic Celtic". It was the first but not the last such comparison during our Barca' quest. Tomorrow on the 50th anniversary of our visit to Rennes, we will follow follow Rangers on their first steps to European silverware.

You're right but at some stage we will have to think about the longer term future of the squad and at the moment we have a potentially excellent replacement at RB. It would be a tough call either way.

Yeah, 101 assists and 51 league goals, 68 in total - outstanding contribution from a right back.

would be bold to take Tav out. we would most assuredly score less.

Bit sloppy defensively again, but a few players rested, and a few returning and still 4 ahead so I'll take that

Offside by about 2 yards I sit directly in line with 18yard line so had good view. Bassey no centre half but had a great game,should keep Barisic out.

On the tempo being dropped...it must be a wee bit disheartening for the players to see so many fans leave well before the final whistle. After the last couple of years, you would think that you would want to savour every minute of watching the team. Each to their own I suppose.

Good to see Kent and Jack get minutes. A wee bit frustrating but on another day that could have been 7 or 8 goals. We move on and stay in pole position going into another international break.

Meh... I'm not displeased. We controlled the game, scoring a good few goals. Once again, though, we're sloppy defensively.

Stupid to lose a goal again FFS

??????

We should be humping this lot top of the table against bottom, must do better ?

He cuts inside a leathers it from 25 yards, dipping and swerving with menace. It's like a FIFA goal!

Perhaps I’m confused. Was he previously a promotion specialist? In which case save him for next year.

Fairly large software update has been applied this morning. 4.8 I spotted some template resets that may need redone, so if you spot any issues over coming days, please let us know and we will rectify ASAP. Thanks @Frankie

More likely being lined up for a role with the SFA. Ticks all the right boxes.

Balogun the best of the defenders by quite some distance, (WTF has happened to Goldson, at least one big mistake every single game now and a shadow of the player he was last year), Arfield for me was the best of the midfielders, and Hagi looked our only threat up front, with an honourable mention to the returning Kent who looked sharper at times, but for the rest it was poor, 4 or 5 out of ten stuff. Hagi for MOTM for the cool finish.

That comes across as very unprofessional and bitter. Who is he?

Was that not under Government restrictions though? doesn't affect me all the same!.
