RANGERRAB

Porteous is easily wound up & distracted. He would be a liability playing for either Rangers or Celtic

Delighted with the result but I didn’t think the game was put to bed until we got the third. We didn’t take advantage of their red card as we might have done up until then. Good to see Ryan Kent score one and get an assist for Colak’s first. That more like it from him

Kent needs to produce big style today. His performances of late simply haven’t been good enough.

Let’s hope Tom Lawrence is fit. And GvB drops Ryan Kent.

Wee Nicola relies on the bheasts vote

So to summarise the SkY deal is it ? £25m for 48 SPFL premiership live matches(current deal) £30m for 60 SPFL premiership live matches(new deal) TWO POINTS: 1)given the fact that SKY don’t use their full allocation (they only televised 41 games last two seasons IIRC) why allow them 60 games ? They won’t show 60 will they? 2) There are 228 SKY premiership games each season. In new deal SKY will show 60 max. What about the other 168 games? SKY have exclusive rights to them don’t they? Makes no sense to me. Could Rangers,say, not be allowed to sell homes games to another broadcaster?

The Septic Park performance was a goalkeeping horror show. We failed to deal with the goalkeeper situation during the summer & paid the price Ajax were a better team than we’d thought they’d be. Remember they’d won all six of their CL group matches last season. I think they’re on the verge of bringing thro another of their great sides again like the late 1990’s with the de Boers, overmars etc

How do you know the dressing room is as you say?

And you can confirm this? 😳

Tend to agree but I think the main concerns of the support are the summer signings where only 2 out of the 7 have made any real impact & the uninspiring performances in the SPFL.

Not sure I’d entirely agree with the comparison of the current team with the John Greig Rangers team of the late 70’s/early 80’s. JG’s team he inherited from Jock Wallace was an older team which was past its best. Trying to rebuild with players mostly bought from other Scottish clubs was always going to be difficult when we had little or no young players of our own coming through at that time.

Thought we had a PR guy, David Graham. No idea what he does

Murray totally neglected Rangers during his last 10years of ownership

SAF used to say before signing a player always check his attendance record. In the case of Delph don’t touch him with a barge pole 🤠

Not easy to get rid off players who are under contract

Like many I’m concerned about our domestic form. But we are missing players who are injured. Lawrence & Hagi in particular. If Gio goes who replaces him? I’d fear another Pedro appointment

Not much of an apology is it?

Priority number1 for the manager should be to get us scoring a lot more goals than we are at present

To be honest I’d have taken any win today after those 3 defeats but there is no logic to team selection & tactics. why did an 18 year old start at CB today ahead of the guy who’s been playing regularly and the £4m Ben Davies? what does the manager think of Ryan Kent’s contribution ? Should he be dropped? who was playing wide right today? Arfield isn’t ideal there is he? How did Kamara & Matondo make the squad v Napoli but neither on the bench today? Why did we do nothing about the goalkeeper situation in the summer? We’ve now recalled 40 year old McGregor. Not exactly a long term solution is it?

Just hope we can get a decent result & performance after what has been a very disappointing month to say the least

The biggest change we’ve made since last season has been at the back replacing McGregor and Bassey with McLaughlin and Sands. It hasn’t been a change for the better unfortunately

I’d like to see us focus on domestic success this season. CL is way out of our league financially but has given us much needed revenue I don’t think the league is finished by any means but we can’t have any more slip ups. And we should be aiming for a treble including both cups we must start being more successful at home again

We competed well up to the sending off. Was it a second yellow for Sands? Not quite sure from where I sit. difficult to play against that quality of opposition with 11 men let alone 10. The CL will give us much needed revenue but we must really focus this season getting domestic success. Since 2016 all we’ve had is one league title & one SC. That needs to improve

Ryan Jack has only played about 100 league games in the 5 full seasons he’s been at Rangers. Not a lot is it? His contract is up at the end of the season & I doubt it’ll be renewed Hes never Rangers captain material

Agree. I’d said in a post at HT that the team selection & tactics were as if we were playing Motherwell or someone in the SPFL
