RANGERRAB

We need 2 or 3 midfielders for next season. Midfield is where we're weakest at present. Constantly giving the ball away there & no creativity. Also can we get the likes of Aird & McKay when playing wide to try & get good quality deliveries into the box. Otherwise no point in having wide men on the park. And the deliveries from freekicks & corners were the usual awful standard again today. Does anyone practise them in training ? doesn't look like it to me

We also need to understand that almost all of the youngsters who have played in the first team this season aren't good enough for where we wish to be. Today showed that.

There was a time when I never missed a Scotland home game but my current apathy I think stems from the national team's shocking record in not having qualified for a major tournament since 1998. They could & should have had second spot for their 2010 WC Qualifying Group & 2012 EC Qualifying Group thus getting into the play-offs. The fact they didn't shows how standards have fallen & just about all the blame should be directed at the SFA in particular their choices of national team managers i.e. Burley & Levein neither of whom had any great managerial record at club level. They only got the job because they were Scottish which shouldn't be a determining factor in the selection of the national team manager. Despite the Vogts fiasco, appointing a foreign manager shouldn't present a problem as many countries do it quite successfully. Scotland should be no different

if he wants a move then don't let the door slam on the way out then Fran. Bye..............

It is a very strange situation all of this. The Green brigade are as far as I can see an organisation who show blatant support for banned terrorist organisations and use Celtic as their vehicle for this. Is that correct ? Then why have the police taken so long to do anything about this ? Did it really take an unauthorised march to at long last force them into taking action against this organisation?

Excellent article as usual from VB.

does anyone know if he's still at the SFA? Remember last season the likes of Naismith & Aluko getting bans? Yet this season we've hardly heard a word from Lunny. Why is that ? has the SPL in particular become a great bastion of good sportsmanship since we left? or was Lunny's real job at the SFA just to persecute Rangers at the insistence of Regan & his pal Liewell in order to help Celtic

Whatever happens in the summer regards the Rangers Manager position CG cannot afford to get it wrong. If he sticks with Ally (which I doubt) then he'd need to allow him to bring in new faces and there would need to be immediate & substantial improvement on the park. I'm not sure Ally could guarantee that which is why I suspect he'll go. Any replacement for Ally must have a proven track record in management and be capable of turning things around in as a short timescale as possible

look m8 I fully understand where you're coming from regards Ally. No one wanted him to succeed more than me but it just hasn't worked. It would be a massive risk IMO to allow him to bring in players during the summer and it doesn't work leaving a new manager coming in to try and fix something which many would say was obvious from the start. I know he was a magnificent ambassador for the club during its darkest hours and we should all remember him for that. But things have moved on now and the club is in a much better place financially and will fully recover sooner rather than later. The only part which hasn't recovered is the product on the park & that will be CG's biggest decision he'll need to take this summer. Sadly for Ally I think a change would be best for Rangers and no one person is bigger than the club.

He's had plenty time. He's been manager almost 2 seasons now. His record prior to administration last season wasn't great i.e going out of 4 cups and blowing a decent lead in the SPL. This season hasn't been great either. Even allowing for the players we lost it's been poor to watch mostly and been put out of 3 cups, twice at home. I genuinely believe a better manager would have got more out of the current squad. For me we need a change at the end of the season. Football can be cruel and Ally will always be remembered as one of the all time Rangers greats but just didn't cut it as manager I'm afraid to say

Clever stuff from CG. He knows SKY & other sponsors won't be interested unless we're in the top division next season. So he demands the division below the top division knowing the the SFL/SPL/SFA will need to find a way of getting us into the top division. By not demanding the top division no one can accuse Rangers of bullying their way back to the top division letting the SFL/SPL/SFA to take the blame when we are put there next season.

No not at all. If you do you will be filmed, arrested,held in custody before being found guilty without trial and you'll be sentenced to 30 years as standard for any Rangers Supporter as demanded by the anti-Rangers Scottish Government in Holyrood. In particular Frau Cunningham & Herr Mather who in particular is offended by the hokey-cokey.

Given that the DR & Sellik are basically an item nowadays, do I detect Liewell's in put to this ? what we've got is a story to deflect attention away from poor SPL attendances at the girodome. To do that invent a load of nonsense about Rangers having lower attendances than published too. Only problem was the Daily Rebel cocked it up big style didn't they? Make no mistake the Porkheid Propaganda machine is at work. It controls the Daily Rebel & BBC Scotland very effectively with its placemen(& women too). Goebbels would have marvelled at them

I'm sure Leggoland will be onto this tomorrow without fail.................

I'd like to know how much of Rangers annual wage bill is taken by non-playing staff.

I would hope our director of communications, Mr Traynor has something to say about these lies. This article in the Daily Rhebel looks to be Liewell's doing IMO via his pals at the Rhebel making up a story about Rangers to cover up their poor SPL attendances. The way they work is to maximise the bad publicity around any Rangers story wherever possible. And they deflect any bigotry accusations by calling others bigots. Lie deflect, deny - that is Ra Sellik way

I'd like to see a breakdown of this £7m wage budget. For example how much of it is paid to non-playing staff ?

If they all think this is bad just wait until they find out the truth about last summer's SKY deal liewell & dumbcaster got for them................ I think I'm correct to say clubs are due an end of season payment from the SPL /SFL. Wonder how much (or how little) it might be............... Ho Ho Ho Ho........ah well. They would listen to LIewell so hell mend them

All we need are a couple of decent CB's & a couple of MF's & we'll be fine. It's getting the right quality that'll be the problem.

Think you're a wee bit unkind on Kenny McDowall. At least he had a coaching background prior to joining us (even if it was from the other side) However Ian Durrant & Neil Murray certainly don't seem to have any real previous experience for their current roles at Rangers. Perhaps that's worrying. My biggest concern about Ally is he doesn't seem to know what to do when things aren't going well. He's no idea how to change things tactically

Don't suppose there is a right time to say this but we really must change the manager at the end of the season. I'm sure CG will not allow Ally to sign anyone if he's not convinced he's the manager he wants for next season. If that's the case then the change must be made soon to allow the new manager to get his feet under the table and bring in his choice of signings

Hate to say this but after last weekend's fiasco why wasn't the manager getting the players in for double training sessions ?

I'd suggest none of these youngsters are anywhere ready for the first team.

It may well happen. Things are going to get pretty desperate very soon. All the financial promises to clubs regards reconstruction may soon be worthless. Why cant Longmuir see the SKY contract on which these financial promises depend? surely Liewell & Doncaster haven't been telling porkies ? interesting times lie ahead in the not too distant future

One of the conditions of our re-entry to the top division must be that the registration embargo is lifted
