If our stadium was bigger than theirs, you'd be happy for them to get more tickets than we got from them? Or is it just a good argument when it suits us? 😂

it's a fair point. 

Hes getting valuable minutes and doing pretty well.

A seat on the board won't give him that. How could it? He can't (won't) make a return on his investment buying Rangers shares unless he can control the club and, again, he can't do that simply by buying his current level of shareholding or anything like it.

 

So you have to ask yourself, why is a major PE investor taking a seat on the Rangers board? It can't be to look after the interests of a few million shares, why would he bother? I've no idea what his further intentions might be but this does seem to be a strange move.

Club tie and seat in the directors box

De Jong should have been red carded for that BTW

dessers created the first goal out of nothing and the second is as good a ball as you will ever see. 

on saturday the played 2 balls almost as good one was an assist and the other only wasn't due to a fantastic save.

I think we're being a tad harsh on our midfield last night, considering the job they were asked to do against (frankly) a better team. The three of them had a monumental task. Ryan Jack is coming in for some criticism here but I thought him and Raskin did a huge job protecting our defence, particularly our roaming fullbacks. Without their sheer work rate, particularly out of possession, we could easily have been overwhelmed in that first half and it's no surprise they all tired later on.

I thought they were hero's to a man. 

dessers is looking superb on the assist front. Loved him last night. 

I am thrilled and encouraged by last nights performance and indeed result. 

That may be misplaced but thats how i feel. 

Cantwell and goldson were excellent. I went for cantwell. 

I liked what i saw from just about everyone last night. 

very very very rich man.

Its the same with Kamara. If he can’t get a place in what is a poor Rangers team then why would any team pay £millions

He can't get a place in an excellent rangers midfield. 

Jack, Cifu, Lundstrum and raskin all keeping him out the team. Dowell too for that mater.

would be just as banned at us as he is now 

matondo was electric

dessers scored 1 and assisted 1. barring cracking saves and bad refereeing that would have been scored 3 2 assists.

I hope it doesnt come to this, but that result could be of importance to us if, as looks quite likely, we're going to drop to the EL. In that case we could be in Pot 1 of the draw, only if Zagreb and Ajax don't also make the EL group draw, as both have a higher coefficient than us. We should hope now that Sparta Prague beat Zagreb in the EL play-offs (Zagreb don't drop into the EL groups, as we would if we lose to PSV, they have to play in an EL play-off). Ajax are in the play-off of the EL, against Ludogorets, so chances are they will win that. 

do we just need 1 not to qualify?

Barasic like Tav have suffered from our tactic of pushing players wide and dealing with the crosses. 

We now seem to be doubling up wide and stopping crosses at source. 

That has mad a difference already 

6 nil to us fgs hagi

You're right, if Ridvan had only done those things during his Rangers career we'd all love him. But he hasn't, so, you know. 

Their assists per minute aren't very different in fairness

Oh for a player like David Silva. He was a wee magician.

Poor mans Cantwell. 

beats men all the time to get crosses in. 

Do we really want our full backs trying to skin men on the half way line when no one is behind them. 

Definitely not and it doesn't happen elsewhere or previously. 

been our best player this season so far. certainly top 3.

Was all this xG data you have described so well above compiled by one company? If so, why? It must have been an absolutely massive data dump. It clearly isn’t monetised if it’s readily available for all games, and I’m assuming there must be some sort of AI bot keeping track of all games going on at all times in order to produce real time xG updates?

 

Still can’t get my head round it. Take the Lammers absolute sitter v Servette in first half. That should have an xG of 1 because it should be scored every single goddam time, but clearly he didn’t score, so next time  a player has the exact same chance the xG will be below 1 because Lammers missed his, so a striker scoring that sitter looks to have outdone his xG but in reality he has just scored an absolute sitter so shouldn’t have his stats enhanced as a result of another player having a howler? Agreed?

won't have an XG of 1 but will  be high. 

our XG was 3.03 v Servette. 

this will have been compiled by a bored accountant for sure.

Serious question, is it used in any other sport (tennis, rugby etc)? 

Statistics like this are ubiquitous. 

Tennis players know what percentage of second serves are into the body etc. 

Cricketers know how a Batter has got out every time. 

American sports love it etc etc
