You have also got to take into account the previous management team took a few bargain bin rough diamonds and polished them up (Kamara, Aribo etc) We still go into many games with a midfield that cost at most 50k.

This guy is a grade A sevco moonhowler and should be ignored at all costs.

Agree with this fully. As time goes by it looks more and more like we either don't have the finances for transfers or we don't have the ability to identify targets within our budget. Looks like we have also gambled that bids would come in for Kent, Aribo and Morelos hoping for big money when we will likely lose them for a fraction of that big money in the summer. Kent in particular I'm now thinking we will be lucky to make our money back on. Doesnt matter who manages the 1st team this area needs to be better.

We got a fair few pennies in during the January window and spent barely anything. Brought in 3 loans who have so far hardly featured. Also we have far too many key players approaching the last year of the contract and our best defender in years walking out the door for nothing at the end of the season. Meanwhile the infamous Skov Olson who went to Bruges for 6 million euro has been tearing it up there so far. Serious questions to be asked of our board, DOF and scouting team. This is going to be a very big summer.

Agree. Also chucking helander in at tannadice when he was clearly miles off it then trying Lundstram at CB a bit later seemed to be acts of desperation.

Another 3 points another forgettable performance. I could summarise but i think I'd just be repeating myself after the past few weeks. We will know by the end of the month if we can win it or not.

Hard to tell. Had some great results (Prague, Dortmund, away run before xmas, hearts horsed at home) and some very bad ones which are obvious. I'm behind him fully but he makes some odd decisions.

Massive 3 points here for us in Aberdeens final game of the season. We need to want it more than them. Do that and we will win. I'd go ------------McGregor----------- Tav--Goldson--Balogun--Bassey ---------Jack--Lundstram------ Aribo-------Ramsey--------Kent -------------Morelos------------

This is who we are enjoying a commercial partnership with for big anges homecoming. Astounding that they use a mans death to promote a betting partner and sponsor. Sick. Not surprising at all mind.

I'm sure we will find out in the fullness of time. If Celtic are getting more it will inevitably be leaked by them in order to get one up on us.

Well i think from an economic perspective, it can be argued that taking part in this for a little cash boost is fairly short term in that 1) our direct rivals are also involved and will get the same (or greater?) cash boost 2) our direct rivals are embarking on partnerships with Australian broadcasters (https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/19967743.celtic-seal-partnership-major-australian-entertainment-company/) and as such look to be one step ahead of us.. again 3) this is already being marketed down under as 'anges homecoming' and not Rangers V Celtic

Again I'd expect some within the club (commercial and media types) to have him briefed a bit better. I don't agree with or can excuse his comments but allowing him to say it and almost chucking his toys out the pram with a response like that was an insult to the support.

Exactly this. Bisgrove is as much a Rangers man as any other random person. He is a commercial/marketing professional and probably a good one. This proposal would have needed sign off at senior board levels, that's where the issue lies for me.

I quite like King and his bravado, but I'm also pretty sure if he wanted to still be chairman at Ibrox and in control he would be. That says more to me than any soundbites. Hes not here so he is about as relevant as the other yesterday men.

Even if we get the same amount of money from it as Celtic, it doesn't help us gain an advantage as they get the same as us.. its pointless.

yeah its just a rumour, but that one would be more believable than yours.

Does it make business sense to participate in a tournament with your biggest rivals if they are going to make more money from it than us as is rumoured?

Wouldnt surprise me if true in the slightest. Which makes the decision all the more bizarre. Whats the point in us getting an extra 5 million dingo dollars if they are getting 10? Also, have the club had any assurances that the club staff and support will be free to leave the country in the event of any further COVID restrictions? Didn't Australia completely lock down and stop anyone from travelling in or out? This is quite important.

2-1 FGS Morelos

Agree RE: Goldson a good signing for the money an owes us nothing. But he will be difficult to replace IMO. The McLaughlin thing has me worried. If he is good enough get him in the team now. Why wait until McGregor retires. An i am not convinced he is good enough to be our #1 FWIW. We also face losing Aribo, Kent and Morelos and wont get top dollar due to contracts running down. We brought in 12 million for Patterson and 4 million for Gerrard and spent next to nothing in January. Not sure we are in a position to being in 2/3 real quality players. Considering we will lose at least 4 i suggest we need more.

I think context is key here. If we had won last night in between the 5-0 v Hearts and 2-0 v Hibs I'm sure we'd all take it as a clinical 3 points, it was a champions performance, ground out win etc and move on. But given our recent form its just a continuation of a very worrying trend.

3 points but a turgid uninspiring performance. Looked shaky at the back, created a few good chances we didn't take and the midfield never got a grip of the game. Its like we have regressed to the team that dropped points at Pittodrie in January, it was that type of performance. Only saving grace for us tonight was that St Johnstone are abysmal. Players looked tired after the first half and no subs. Why. We have now run the 11 who will start against the sheep on Saturday into the ground. They will come at us with everything as its their last game of the season effectively. Out of the cups and in the bottom 6 and wont play us again. Our manager is starting to look as bemused and disconnected as our board. We have 3 of our best players down to 1 year left on contracts in the summer and the likes of Goldson will leave on a free, Davis & McGregor will retire. This is really turning into a complete shambles in every area possible.

No will stick to despairing at our club having rings run around them by Celtic off the park and in PR.

Getting told to suck this up because its great financially after selling Patterson for a large upfront fee (approx. 12 million) plus the money we got from Villa for the management team(approx. 4 million) and spending 200k on a 20 year old polish guy and loaning a couple of nobodies and a Welsh crock is nothing short of a massive insult.

Confirmed by the club on twitter now. I am beyond disappointed. Not felt this disillusioned with the club since the spiv days.
