  1. Female Prime Minister of a rampant Conservative government, with a Labour party in disarray.

     

    Growing suspicion over Russian activity in the east.

     

    Scottish rugby team mixing it with and beating the big boys.

     

    And a Rangers team not worthy of the name.

     

    That's right, it's the early-mid Eighties all over again.

     

    Apologies in advance for the negativity, but sometimes a spade is, in actual fact, a spade. This is not an easy preview to write, I can't remember ever having such little enthusiasm over the team, which let's face it has problems all over the park. Defenders who can't defend. A midfield with the heart of a peanut. And strikers who won't shoot.

     

    I've been a little alarmed at some post-defeat comments on here about us being 'unlucky', just 'needing a break', etc. The truth is, we are in abject freefall, as clueless as we are directionless.

     

    Trying to predict the outcome of Rangers games these days is something of a pointless exercise. Losing home games did for Advocaat and McLeish, the difference now being we don't even have a manager to sack. If we lose this one though, I see no way of Murty ever gracing the dugout again. But with Parkhead looming, the board have a dilemma. Stick with Murty and risk a record defeat, or hand the new manager an Old Firm debut where he risks a doing in his very first game?

     

    St Johnstone will fancy turning us over at Ibrox on Wednesday. I think every team fancies turning us over at the moment. Rangers aren't even a scalp anymore. Whoever our new manager is, a base requirement is that opposing teams coming to Ibrox get nothing for free. What we really need, and fast, is a steadying of the ship along the lines of Walter during the second half of the 06/07 season.

     

    I remain far from convinced about the Cathro 'revolution' at Tynecastle and they continue to drop points themselves, so, against the grain of this season, I'm pretty confident of 3rd place and European football next season. But something has to change at Ibrox, and before the summer.

  2. The Rangers team of midwinter 09/10 was the best since the heights of the Advocaat era. We'd have beaten today's Celtic side, no doubt in my mind. All Kris Boyd needed to do was sneeze and suddenly we were 3-0 up.

  3. The reason Warburton went for loan signings was due mainly to the financial restrictions placed on him.

     

    Ally McCoist has taken a lot of flak.

     

    He signed Vuckic.

     

    Warburton signed:

     

    Rossiter

    Barton

    Crooks

    Toral

    O'Halloran (500k)

    Garner (1.7m)

    Etc

    Etc

    Etc

     

    The more I think about it, the less I think Warburton was an improvement on McCoist.

     

    Let's be clear, this next managerial appointment is absolutely huge for us. I pray the board don't fuck this up.

  4. Kenny Miller? LOL are you havin' a laugh ?

    He was absolute garbage again tonight yet still gets a game every week. Just 6 league goals this season and still gets picked every week.

    Why does he get a game every week ? Because we have a numpty in the dug out who should be nowhere near the Rangers job. I genuinely believe he doesn't want Rangers to win given his background

     

    Background?

  5. That's not what I watched tonight. I thought we were so unlucky to lose that game. We just need a break and can't get one at the moment. We are making mistakes, both tactically as a team and as individuals but I don't think you can point the finger at players who should be "ashamed". They're just really struggling and need something to go our way for once.

     

    Hold on a minute. We're playing the worst team in the league, an absolutely honking Inverness team, and we're looking for a 'break'?

  6. Is that the first time a non-league team has reached the last eight? Some achievement. Their manager has no doubt put himself in the shop window now, can see him jumping a division or two now.
