A concerning thought not just for the wait involved but for how many potential Rangers fans of the future will have been lost in the intervening years. Folk taking their children to Ibrox this season will have to work hard to get them excited about the next one, I'd have thought.

It continued into the box and the current rules (silly, imo, but " them's the rules" ) are that if it does so, a penalty should be awarded. I'm afraid the ref was correct.

I agree, I was saying the same in what I would want but just making the point that hey'll have to do something rushed or not, now. They've backed themselves into that corner and cannot afford not to.

Re the board doing something = It's surely just business common-sense. I'd like to think it was because they had something planned all along but even if, as is more probable, that is not the case, then they still have to do something to stop renewals not being taken up. Not that it is easy to see what they can do.

Frightening to see how far we are behind them in all aspects on and off the pitch. To be expected after the illegal attempt to murder us, yes, but the lack of us edging closer season by season is concerning. Vignal was talking of a big bid for Dembele coming from Marseille (just to add salt to the wound). Let's hope Rodgers wastes it or the chasm we saw today will stretch out of sight.

And now we are down to nine, with Alves off injured. beg yourpardon he stayed on, if immobile

We just gave the ball to them. Again.

Morelos' misses are astounding.

wtf is Martin playing at there? 2-0 down now. After a wonderful, if undeserved, chance to make it 1-1

Interesting that, even after the bad blood from their disgraceful post Cup Final behaviour, a split stand with us is considered OK - and presumably Plod will not or cannot stop it happening? - yet we are not allowed to make any decision re the scum's allocation at Ibrox (or so we keep getting told).

I was sure you were dB; I was just musing on what I had thought was my bad luck seemed to turn out to be good luck. I was looking at Aberdeen and Hibs stumbling and us scoring 4, and keeping a clean sheet v a team you know who just failed to beat you know who and so it was all sweetness and light for me while you were all having palpitations. I'll probably see the goals now and it'll all look great! (I'm not doubting the eye-witness views - just glad I don't share them) Jimmy Nicholl, presumably, is around to shatter said illusions?

I seem to have had a much better day by not seeing the game than those of you who saw it!

FT 4-0 to the teddy bears From elsewhere: Hearts 2 Sheep 0 Ross C 1 Hibs 1 (90th minute equaliser) Oh and Arabs lost 3-2 at Dumbarton (just in case anyone wants to know )

4-0 Candeias

Hurrah 3. Murphy

Text tells me 2-0 with Alfie scoring

That would certainly be good for my nerves

Ah, Ok, sorry - I was going for the general mood too. I can't see it so just following on text. I found the hatred (and it was hatred) directed by some on FF to be OTT and as baffling as the adoration of Cummings. Who may one day develop into a good player, and may even grow up (somewhat less likely) but why he is adored and Miller despised is hard to fathom.

Double post as too slow to quote....

You and thousands of others, to be fair. I'm not quite sure what folk who sneer at Miller think we've got in our squad that makes him such a "poor choice". Anyway, we lead and other scores are currently going our way.

Text tells me that everyone's darling has put us ahead

Hearts 2 up against Aberdeen And Hibs now a goal down.... iI know these are not games involving us and I wish that they weren't important enough to put on a Rangers' match thread - but I am presuming that they are

RANGERS: Foderingham, Tavernier, McCrorie, Martin, John, Docherty, Dorrans, Candeias, Miller, Murphy, Morelos. Subs: Alnwick, Alves, Hodson, Goss, Halliday, O’Halloran, Cummings.

He does. I'm just being jealous. I was talking to an 18 year old a couple of weeks back who was born this century. I've still not recovered from that.
