Give up your sky\BT account and take Rangers TV. That is the only answer for all football fans.

 

PS, I mean for all clubs.

Do you mean that all Scottish football fans watch Rangers TV? I thinks they should, you have got something there Pete ?.

Aren't Dundee saying that the player was sent off for being the last man and stopping a goal scoring chance, not for a bad tackle.

I did expect a win tonight. That team was there to get beat. We were not good enough.  Hopefully we will sign some better players at the break.

He flatters to deceive. Get rid if we can.

Stevie G's Rangers must do better. Have just watched Celtic get the runaround from Salzburg but they are a much better team than Rapid.

To be honest none of us expected this Euro run. Whilst it’s disappointing to be out it was great to have the European nights back at Ibrox.

Now we must focus on domestic matters & start winning more games.

I expect we’ll see a bit of movement in & out in January so hopefully we’ll get stronger again and push for the title

I'll be ecstatic if we challenge for the title but I'll be happy if we finish a clear second.

We are just not good enough at the moment. These last three results have been very disappointing.

My god Rapid are really bang average. Unfortunately so are we. The quality on show here is shocking

The pitch is not helping, not a game to let the ball bounce when defending. Hope we can show a bit of composure going forward. 

Forgot McCrorie had a goalkeeping brother. Would be good to see them in the same Rangers team - one day ?.

Yep, and we need to beat them to help negate that. The fact we're still in there following what we all agree is a bad spell indicates to me that they're pretty much as inconsistent as we have been. This is eminently doable. 

I don't think we have the quality of player yet to be consistent enough to challenge them.

We'll get more room to play in this game than in the previous two and if we play well we've a good chance.

Stephane Guivarche.  

 

A special mention must go to Oleg Salenko, who scored 5 in a WC match and looked useless in a Rangers shirt.

I forgot about Guivarch. He just wasn't interested in playing for us or anyone else as I remember,

I'm confused how you sign a player with certainty of success. I've seen us sign flops who've had world cup winner medals in their pocket. As with most things in life, you start out with opinions and only after the event do you acquire facts.

Who are the world cup winners we have signed?

Neither you, or I, know that to be the case.

 

He may be 26 but if he were to come here and score for fun then an English Championship team could very well come in and purchase him - anything less than 29-30 has sell-on potential.

 

And, even if he didn't provide us significant profit - he certainly couldn't be worse than Sadiq - so a straight "one in, one out" would be fine by me.  Indeed, I think you effectively prove the point that it isn't so much where a player comes from but how the team play and/or the league you play in and your suitability to it.  Roma were CL semi-finalists last year so, on paper, Sadiq was a coup..... we now know that to not be the case.

 

Maybe we should learn to wait until someone has proven their worth, or otherwise, before judging them ?

Maybe Sadiq deserves more of a chance, but Gerrard seems to have made up his mind about him. Maybe it his attitude in training but why play him in the League Cup semi-final? We keep saying the SPFL is so poor that just about any signing would make an impression but that has proved not to be the case.

We picked up Windass from the English lower divisions... and he made us about 3 million profit.

 

These players may never give us 55 but if they can serve a purpose and deliver us that kind of profit it allows us to then purchase a better standard of player.

 

 

Windass was young and had potential. Eaves is as good as he is going to get. That's why I compared him to Garner. We're not happy with Sadiq and he comes from Roma. Lafferty is also getting pelters and he has played at a much higher level than Eaves.

Eaves ... whether rumour or not, he looks like an English power-house centre forward a la Hateley that might be needed to pummel the Scottish defences in the way required. 

Eaves is no Hateley. Hateley was in a different league literally and he struggled when he first came to Rangers. I agree we can't afford a top class striker but we should be looking elsewhere than the dross in the English lower divisions.

What I meant with regards to Joe Garner was that he was a player who had been at a multitude of lower league clubs without ever being a success at any of them. Eaves has a similar record but at a lower level.

Did we not learn our lesson with Joe Garner?

Dundee have beaten us at Dens in the last two seasons. They will have confidence after their last three results. We will have to be up for it and play well to win. It will be a measurement on how far we have improved or not from the last two seasons. 

I hope McCrorie fulfils his early promise and goes on to become captain of Rangers.

I have already written one mate. I don't know how far on you are. Sorry i should have put that up when i started tonight.

That's ok my efforts seem to have disappeared into the ether anyway ?.

I'll have a go at the Dundee Rangers game.

Good on them

I thought Middleton lost confidence in the second half and should have been subbed but SG had used up all our subs. I'd love to see a midfielder who would have a shot at goal outside the area (or anyone!) 

We were abysmal tonight. Wayward passes, lack of control, no composure. Morelos should have been subbed after yellow card. Too many forward players subbed on, the team had no balance. Ejario and Coulibally are not the answer, but we have no alternatives at the moment.
