RANGERRAB

I’m sorry but Dessers had 3 easy chances today I’d expect any decent forward to score. Until we get a striker who can get 20 plus league goals we ain’t winning the league again

Tav’s corners are garbage. Can the manager not see this?

AFAIK Dundee are owned by American company Keyes Capital and Nelms was appointed by them

How would Ewen Cameron know? 😂😂

Howcome? Nelms bought it back from the Dundee Utd director last October who had previously bought it at Dundee’s second administration & rented it to them. They own dens again but the notorious Mr Nelms keep promising them a new stadium which never seems to materialise

They gave a penalty because it was a penalty. That’s what they’re there to do. Was there a foul committed by Lawrence? Beaton was yards away when it happened. He didn’t give a foul

Whether or not it was a foul by Lawrence on iwata I think is debatable. He cuts across the front of Lawrence & looking to go down. Beaton has a perfect view of the incident 5yards away & plays on what I would say if the same thing happened to us at Celtic park(Rangers player fouled) & one of the gang of 4 refereeing( Collum, Clancy, Robertson or Walsh) then the goal would stand

It was a goal Var can only be used for fouls in the current phase of play. Two Celtic defenders had played the ball before Dessers scores. The ‘foul’ was committed in an earlier phase of play var can only return to previous phases for red cards, violent conduct & mistake identity I believe.

I’ve watched the Dessers disallowed goal again. Regards the ‘foul’ by Lawrence on Iwata(?), the referee is in a perfect position to see it (about 5 yards away) but allows play to continue. Presumably he felt Iwata went down too easily or dived. However Walsh & Connor on VAR were having none of it

I thought overhead conditions played a part in the game today. The team defending the goal at the Copland road end seemed to have the harder task.Us in the first half, them in the second. That said the first & third goals we lost today were horrendous. We are conceding too many goals, particularly at ibrox. We have seven games left with probably only two of them at ibrox. It looks likely we’ll need to take something when we visit Celtic park. I’d hope the team on that day will be more like the one that finished today rather than the one that started. We need to learn how to use matondo better

Time for some of our more recent signings to show what they can do in this fixture

We’re conceding too many goals at home for my liking

What worries me about Sunday is the amount of goals we’re conceding at ibrox this season & the lack of a proven goal scorer up front for this particular fixture

How’s he going to do that ? UEFA are in charge of Tv contracts for internationals

TBH I’m more worried about Walsh (& Connor) on VAR. Walsh should be nowhere near another OF game after his disgraceful performance in the last one at Parkhead. The penalty incident aside, he bottled it to send off one or maybe 2 Celtic players for second yellows. Both Walsh & Robertson in the first OF game at ibrox ( disallowing a perfectly good goal by Roofe) have cost us 6 points this season

I’m not opposed to the DoF role. Wilson was the wrong man & seemed accountable to no one

Can’t see that happening

Too easily forgotten GvB had Ross Wilson to contend with whilst he was Rangers manager

My guess is we’ll get Beaton next week

It was rumoured Beale wasn’t the unanimous choice of the Rangers board. In their haste to get rid off GvB( a manager who months earlier had taken Rangers to the EL final) it would ultimately prove to be the wrong choice

Any idea why Clarke selected 4 keepers for these 2 friendlies but only played one i.e. Gunn

It’s UEFA not the SFA who have responsibility for Tv contracts for internationals

Howcome we’re not playing ManUtd at ibrox?

Everton likely to be docked more points following second PSR mee this vs month. Verdict early April

Following Dundee’s second administration in 2010 Dens park was sold to Dundee Utd director John bennett(not the Rangers chairman)& leased back to them. John Nelms bought Dundee in 2013(?) and has been promising a new stadium almost ever since. He has spent next to nothing in upkeep & improvements at Dens which he bought back from Bennett last year. The new stadium seems pie in the sky stuff to me. It’s surely now up to the SPfL to punish Dundee over Sundays fiasco
