£2.5 million is a superb piece of business for Windass. He's worth buttons. Previous regimes would have probably punted him for a tenth of that.

You should try being realistic. You might like it. I am always realistic. When we're shit I will say so, which has been the general way for years, and when we're great (like tonight), I will be full of praise. It was men against boys tonight.

I try to be positive but people on this forum keep bringing me down!

I would be interested in seeing the stats, which I think will back me up. They're not showing on BBC. Does anyone have them? We all see things differently, but I saw absolute domination.

I remember our last good RB Hutton stepping up in Europe and really proving himself. Tavernier was great tonight.

Aside from Warburton's first season (against the second tier), this is the first time since 10/11 that we've looked like a proper Rangers side. I actually feel a sense of pride watching us now. Early days but it's looking great.

Their threat against us was almost non-existent and we completely controlled the game.

We're going through.

We were absolutely fantastic tonight. The first two sides we played are mince, but Maribor are a side playing in Europe every season and twice being in the CL stages in recent years. There's no way on earth we would have mustered a 3-1 victory to such a team last season. Things are definitely looking up. I think SG is one of these world class players whose qualities transcend into management.

Amazing start...but why couldn't I order the game on RTV after 7PM? Tried to give the club money but now using a cough.

Lol today on Gersnet I have read an ex player that played for our future opposition is refereeing the game....and a team actually left the grass long to stop the other side playing football. It really is no wonder both our club and national sides are pitiful.

Of course they should be. Osijek are a diddy little team, whereas Maribor have twice been in the CL group stages in recent years.

To be fair though, Levein's brand of football is archaic and basically all that's wrong with the Scottish game. And our surfaces should be playable and enabling teams to play the correct way.

It doesn't really matter what it does or doesn't mean. Having an ex-player refereeing a game his former team is featuring in is beyond ridiculous. A ref is meant to have no vested interest in a match and has to declare any team(s) he has any allegiances to. So this makes no sense. What a tin pot league setup we have.

And if we won those games we would have won the league. The tims proved when it mattered that they had a much better attack than us. We were absolutely garbage in attack last season. I really am gone now ?

We scored 2 more goals than Aberdeen did the season before. Did Aberdeen have a good attack that season? Did they hell. Scoring 70 odd goals in Scotland isn't difficult. I'm out.

Erm, yeah, those are our most important fixtures of the season.

LOL I am not wasting any more time on this. You would have to be wired to the moon to not accept that A - we were awful attacking wise last season and B - the tims were miles better. And furthermore, we are still significantly lacking in attack and need much better.

Who are we after aside from Lafferty like?

Patience for what?

He's the type of player we should be signing in terms of age, background and the quality he appears to have. However, we are looking very strong defensively and still very poor going forward. It's going to be a long season if Lafferty and Morelos are the main strkers we have to choose from. And Murphy, Windass etc aren't goods enough for the supporting positions. At least Middleton looks promising.

Seems strange we're spending a significant figure on an area we're already pretty well provisioned for, particularly given how poor we are in attack.

Yeah, I remember all too well. 2 against Celtic in 5 games, while they scored 14. I rest my case.

2-1 us Morelos

Chortle.
