buster.

Never in doubt, we were always going through !!! Truthfully, never saw a clean sheet and a win coming. USG (A) seems a long time ago now. First competitive defeat for PSV since mid-April First European away win since Dortmund Four away games at PSV, 4 different decades, 3 wins and a draw. 5 goals scored at PSV, all second half and all at the same end. Alex MacDonald, Derek Johnstone, Bobby Russell, Jorg Albertz, Antonio Colak and a mention in dispatches for Tommy McLean (3 assists) We left it for the last of 3 opportunities to get into CLGS but we got there.

Leave it to me, I'm an expert in this 😁

Signing a new deal in the vague hope we eventually realize some notional high value or that he changes his spots is for the optimistic, rather than the realistic.

Foxy may have a cunning plan but it'll ultimately be about extracting value. Having owners/investors who were prepared to finance a structured loss was good whilst it lasted and allowed us to get back to normality. I hope they stick around. It is good to be able to trust those upstairs.

I said a while back that this squad wasn't going to do much this season. It hasn't the balance or depth. Too many players who need managed because of age or chronic injury problems. Recruitment hasn't resolved these problems, at least in the short term. The whole shooting match is starting to look like a slow motion car crash.

Left out due to fitness concerns and attitude. Senior players on board with decision. That is damming.

Same goes for Goldson/central defence. Morelos should be sold but there would need to be a buyer and I can't see anyone offering more than loose change.

No, he was doing his job.

Not simply and solely because of preventing bad decisions costing us. Given financial disparities, we should be comfortably winning against provincial Scottish sides, period. We seem to have went head long into Victimhood after Saturday, when our main problems are very much in house. Collum made ONE glaring mistake (Lundstram red card) I think we could have went on and won with 10, but we'll never know. When it went to 9, we were holed beneath the water line and it WASN'T Collum's fault.

It'll be more interesting to see what the ref says when we appeal it.

I think you refer to John Beaton, not Clancy.

You said you have never seen him referee a game not involving Rangers so I would imagine it difficult for you to make such comparisons. Scottish referees regularly get things wrong. It is not just Scottish footballers who have went downhill over the past decades. If you want to say he is a cheat, get off the fence and just come out with it. The only referee who gives me bad vibes is Clancy.

I said, he has a particular style and it isn't aimed at any particular team. The first real controversy I can remember involving Collum and a Rangers match was when the darkside went apoplectic with rage and he was accused of awarding us a penalty (foul on Broadfoot) without seeing it (ie. he was looking other way). It was amusing. I am sure every side in the top flight will have their own list.

You, along with many over-egg the pudding, IMO. There is ONE glaring mistake/inconsistency, the Lundstram red. There are other tight calls that are up for debate.

Collum has a particular style but it isn't exclusive to any particular team.

I don't disagree with much in your post (except on Morelos sending off). My point had been simply that Collum wasn't cheating per se.

Very difficult to source the best version of Morelos, even when he is here. He won't command a really big fee whenever he goes.

Depends on who you replace him with. This idea that we are going to get a huge fee for Morelos is fanciful.

Call me a drama queen but if there is a big contract offer on the table for Morelos, I'd remove it and try and shift him before the end of the month.

To expand on problems. - Lack of intensity - Lack of physicality - Lack of chance creation - Lack of imagination - Lack of penetration - Lack of defensive coordination

He gave us the benefit of the doubt on penalty decisions at both ends in the first half. Strange that, if he has it in for us. Naw, Collum is a particular type of ref, but he isn't a cheat. Our problems lie closer to home and domestically, I can see something similar to last season, only worse.

Gio has more important stuff to sort out. We need to be winning against provincial teams in a way that makes officials incidental.

Morelos peaked at Ibrox after coming back from an international break in January this year...for about a month before he had to start playing through an injury. He was playing with a level of touch that was real class and a maturity/responsibility. He looked like the player we all hoped he'd develop into. Had he continued in that vein, I think we win the Europa League. It would have been a fitting way for him to go all the way in a competition he has done so well in for several years. The injury was one of those unfortunate things that football can throw in your face. Now, he seems to have forgotten about the maturity/responsibility and has reset back to the beginning.
