Please don't take Davis back. He was ok in his time but not now.

These kind of comments make me laugh! when you say better exactly who do you mean? we can only sign players we can afford! so who exactly should we sign then?

If you think these players are good enough then bloody hell we are going nowhere.

Not Davis or Gary Whatsoever. We should go for better.

I  remember this game which I attended with my grandson who is a Hearts supporter ?.

I'd think it's coming up for eight years since we won there.

Yes I forgot our last away victory against Hearts was at  Murrayfield with Pedro bringing back Miller to score a double, there sprang hope then ?. But we have a stronger team now and they are weaker so I'm confident of a victory tomorrow.

Teams tend to up their game against us.  We have lost comprehensively every time we've played them at Tynecastle since we returned to the top flight.

 

 

Hearts 1 Rangers 3 October 2017. Were you not there ??

As some stand up when an exciting moment occurs forcing others to stand up in order to see, I find this quite tiring for an old git like me, bobbing up and down ?.

At Tynecastle a good many years ago I was caught short and a guy behind me handed me a can. Gratefully I took it and started to relieve myself. The guy in front of me started to protest - the can had been opened at both ends. I must have narrowly avoided a good kicking!

Despite some people's misgivings the referee has been very fair ☺️.

What planet were you on I had a great seat at the semi and saw nothing that I could credit him with.

He won quite a few challenges and worked hard, a better option perhaps than Lafferty? Give the guy a chance.

Certainly too early to say he could play centre forward imo. If he did it would probably have to be alongside a target man.  But the early signs have definitely been that he’s a reliable finisher. 

If Morelos can't play due to injury or suspension I'd consider Umar Sadiq. I thought he did reasonably well in the semi-final and if he were to score it would give him the confidence he needs. Play Middleton beside him to feed off his knockdowns.

As Big Jaws said, we can only get a maximum of 27 points from 9 fixtures....unless the SFA are planning to give us an additional 3 due to our maltreatment over the past decade.

Its 10 games with tomorrow's fixture included.

27 points

Everything suggests that it'll be a mixed bag of results.

If it's a mixed bag I doubt we'll even be second.

That's a punishing schedule but let's be optimistic. Qualified for EL knockout stages and top of the league by the new year .

Did you really expect to there and win this match? I never! I didn't think we would win, the best I thought was we could scrape a draw, and only if we played to our absolute best!.

You're right. We cannot replace most of our team because they are not good enough at that level, but we could have been better organised.

There is perhaps one +ve from tonight's events: we may now know who cuts the mustard, and who should be cut. 

 

On that performance there is too many to cut.

Alternatively, if it wasn't for our European run our domestic form may actually have been better as we would have had more recovery and training time between games...

I don't go along with that argument. Good EL performances gives the team confidence.

Aye, and we could have lost before tonights' match! we got a draw in Russia with 9 men and should have lost that, but we never!.

The league is far more important than EL, once we had qualified to the group stages!. Some fans are just waiting for us to lose it seems so they can let of some anger!

Our great performances in the EL has been our main improvement this season. If it weren't for that our domestic form would be getting far more criticism.

There were guys on here moaning before the kick off!!!, continued moaning through the match!!, we must have been absolutely terrible tonight to justify the moans? we have lost away Moscow for the first time in Europe!!!, glad some of them don't sit next to me at Ibrox I would end up getting a punch in the gub!!

The disappointment and subsequent criticism is due to the fact that we could have won that game.

I don't think that you can get away from the fact that defensively we were very poor.

Some fans don't deserve a good team

Ian, if you'd watched it I think you would have found some words of criticism for our team,

Tavernier is having another poor game. When Barasic is fit I would replace Tav with Flanagan.

I was disappointed when Katic appeared to be dropped. Didn't look good in his comeback game. Big game for him right enough.

What kind of injury does Barisic have? Hopefully he is not a perennial crock.

I used to have a pal whose parents came from Pakistan. We went to Ibrox a few times. I used to cringe when the chant went up "I'd rather be a Darkie than a Tim". How times have changed - for the better!
