So Liverpool and Ajax likely group winners, between us and napoli for 3rd place and EL? Could be a good shout to drop down and another run to a European final would be a great result I think...

Fans celebrating and not socially distanced? 100point penalty to rangers!!!

Guard of honour at their place? ?

I don't think we really need them though do we? All done now right?

Ah, that makes it harder, but still as good as Albertz was (and I loved the guy!) I'd have to pick Kos. Leaves me a space for Gazza in midfield though, so every cloud and all that!

I was thinking the same. Niemi was great for us, but there's no contest. We've recently been debating the greatest keeper we've ever had, Goram, Klos and Greggs being three of the front runners, Niemi was good, but not in the same class as Klos! Edit - Hard to do with that midfield, but I'd try my damndest to find a place for Gazza too... can we play 2 at the back???

The big difficulty comes from the unique status of certain employees at a football club. I work for an IT firm here in Yorkshire. If I were to be guilty of gross misconduct, my employer would right dismiss me and not worry too much about it. I like to think they'd struggle to replace me immediately but am under no illusions that it would be anything more than a minor inconvenience whilst someone else learnt the finer details of the stuff I do on a day to day basis. In the case of a football club, however, the players are also assets. Could we replace the likes of Patterson on the pitch? Yes, we bring in a new player or find another in the squad (King?) who can fill the role and build from there. What we do lose though is financial. Patterson listed on Transfermarkt at 250k, hopefully with a bit of nurture and development he becomes a multimillion pound player in a season or two. Given our finances that's not money we can afford to just throw down the drain. Yes we hold our players to a higher level and are disappointed when they fall short (as these guys undoubtedly have) but there's also a business angle to consider and if we hang them out and make it known we no longer want them, their resale value plummets and that becomes problematic. It's been said before, but if it were to have been Morelos, Tav, Kent or one of our other high value assets who did it next, we'd have set a precedent that would be very dangerous. They need a penalty, even a draconian one, and an education on what it means to be a representative of Rangers, but pragmatically there needs to be a route back for them, if only to maintain their transfer value...

Don't let @Rousseau hear you talking like that...

Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten we could still end up third! Oops!

How does todays win have any bearing on that? It brings us closer to the title but so nothing confirmed...

7 points...

Ah, but a couple more should be enough, right?

At this point I've given up caring how many points they have. Eyes firmly on the in incible season and points record. Can't drop any more points now...

10 points now, but is it really? 6 should be enough right?

2 pens? Oh, there's some who are going to love that...
