It looks like sir 25%Ratcliffe has set his eyes on Gareth Southgate as the next manager of united this will go down well with the fans I think they’d rather have the Glazers than Southgate 

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

Why was he appointed in the first place and who was the person responsible for offering him the job .

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

The issue is of the SFA’s making, not a TV broadcaster. 

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

Get your money on April 3rd..

Peter will tell Neil and Murdoch which date best suits(Shellik) for the Dundee v Rangers game to be rescheduled 

I see our old chum Don Robertson is the referee tomorrow. ☹️

For all his faults, I think Wright is always a better option than Matondo, who has no ball at all, final or otherwise, and may be the only player who hasn't responded to the new manager.

Wright seems to have all the attributes to be a world beater but constantly fails at the final hurdle.

I think Matondo will be shipped out by Clement at the end of the season along with h one or two others

Win the next 4 league games before the split & we’ll go into the post-split with at least a 5 point lead.

However we’ve seen one or two things of concern lately.

Dessers goals seem to have dried up. He hasn’t scored since the hearts game at ibrox. Should we stick with him or try the proven Roofe?

We’re short of wide players as we know due to injuries. Perhaps matondo will play on sunday( he came on against Benfica). I do feel Wright’s time is up. He has no final ball. Either play matondo & go 4-3-3 or stick with the 2 up front ( Silva & Roofe/Dessers) & go 4-4-2

Dundee are an inconsistent side who can be brilliant or dreadful especially on that pitch of theirs. Vital we start the game well & clear our lines effectively when required to do so at the back( something we don’t always do)

Really disappointing night. We created very little & were absolutely awful for the last half hour. I also think our lack of quality up front showed tonight. 
Onto Sunday. Just hope we don’t continue where we left off tonight 

Whenever Rangers are doing well the usual suspects appear to do whatever they can to cause maximum disruption.

Not a red card according to Michael Stewart 😂😂😂

Delighted with the result although we need to keep possession better at times. And their penalty from Souttar’s handball after it had hit his head first. Just what is the ruling ?? Same happened to Newcastle away to PSG. 

And should Di Maria have been sent off? He got a yellow card first half and had a lunge at Souttar at the end.

Brenda’s post match meltdown and targeted attack on Beaton is quite something. 

Be interesting to see what the SFA do about this. Actually naming the official is something else.

Good old Hearts 

Both hertz and Killie seem to be doing better against the yahoos than us. Both have ex-Rangers players as managers. Coincidental maybe

That's not what I said at all and you know it. 

 

The underlying question is why are referees "frightened" to give us on-field decisions? 90% incorrect calls for last 9 penalties. These are indisputable facts, not theories. 

 

Also, who was Hugh Dallas scared off? Who would have caused a riot if he had applied the rules of the game, which he is paid to do? Again, Dallas has admitted this, so no conspiracy theories, more indisputable evidence. 

 

If you are OK being blasé about £50M then more fool you.

 

You only need to go back to the last OF game at CP to see nick Walsh unwilling to send off Alistair Johnston for persistent fouling after he was already on a yellow. 

I watched Sportscene & it showed the incident with Casey on MaCausland at the end of the highlights.

Did I hear correctly McFadden trying to claim Casey’s studs weren’t raised ???

is he having a laugh? Has he seen the photos ? 

It was the turning point in the game. Had the ref(&VAR) done his job correctly Motherwell were down to 10men. A different game altogether from then on.

Referees will cost us the title this season. They’ve already cost us 2 OF games as well as today 

In the first OF game at ibrox Roofe’s goal was chopped off for an alleged foul by Dessers nobody saw. Yet we had the usual yahoo suspects telling us it WAS a clear foul

Fast forward to today and we see a challenge on a Rangers player which saw him carried off very fortunate not to get a broken leg but this WASNT a foul if you listen to them

Either referees don’t understand the rules or are corrupt. Can’t be both

I don't want them reffing the games cause they are shit. It's crazy that we don't have full time refs in this country, that is the biggest problem.

Making these refs full time and presumably paying them a lot more money won’t improve matters.

I genuinely believe they should not be allowed to referee Rangers games

The length of time it took Muir and VAR to award us a penalty was telling. The potential red card took no time at all (to get to the wrong decision), whilst it took th forever to come to the right decision at the penalty. 

 

It's now beyond the stage where these decisions can be argued away as "inept officials".

Did VAR even look at the red card? MacAusland is very fortunate not to have got a broken leg. It was dangerous play . The photos prove this

I don't think there is any real corruption with the refs, they are just shit. We've had our share of weak decisions go our way too. If you go look at the Celtic forums they all think the same too, that the refs are corrupt against them.

I’m sorry but I do think there are referees in our league whom I don’t  like to see referee our games. I dread our games whenever Collum, Clancy or Robertson is in charge. And Walsh bottled in at the last OF game at CP when he wouldn’t send off Alistair Johnston for persistent fouling after he was already on a yellow.

Today Alan Muir was guilty for not red carding Casey for injuring MacAusland first half. It was dangerous play and could have been a lot worse as the photos show. Ultimately it cost us the game as Casey scored the winner for Motherwell.

This is now happening all too often for my liking. It needs called out by Rangers hierarchy
