Kenny Miller had a stinker overall today. His passing was woeful and he missed a sitter. Maybe Morelos should get a starting spot with Miller thrown in later in matches when he is fresh and opposition legs tiring.

It's unbelievable how much stick Kenny gets on here...I knew right away he'd get a hammering because of the chance he blasted over the bar. It was very unlike him he usually sticks them away from that distance. Most folk in the GPL pick him to score the first goal, you know why that is? Why bring him on when teams are tiring when at the age of 38 he is as fit as a 21 year old?

I don't think men giving birth is really a thing.

 

Thought the kit was a belter then read later it was a one off for their match v Sevilla to celebrate 125 years at Goodison Park. Very smart.

Dorrans won us the 3 points Fod saved us from losing 2 of them. Morelos should start ahead of Herrera on Wednesday as he looks a far better front man. Miller had a rare off day however his assist and work rate gives him pass marks. Windass blew hot then cold. In the end we got what we came for.

Should be in front, but that's football. Windass is having a blinder.

 

A quick note on league 1, Blackburn start life there with a defeat at Southend.

Probably because Southend kept Kiernan on the bench...

Fod: Bruno Alves has made a huge impact here already

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/837457/Rangers-Wes-Foderingham-Bruno-Alves-Pedro-Caixinha-Scottish-Premier-League

WES FODERINGHAM claims Bruno Alves has transformed Rangers from a soft touch to a well-oiled defensive unit as they go under the spotlight at Fir Park today.

The Light Blues only managed to keep clean sheets in 11 of their 38 league games last season and conceded 44 goals in the other 27 matches.

However, the presence of Euro 2016 winner Alves, coupled with a new 4-4-2 system, has had a major effect on the defence in particular and the team as a whole.

Foderingham says the Portuguese defender calms everyone around him as he leads by example.

The Ibrox keeper said: “Bruno’s a fantastic player and as a whole defensive unit we’ve come on stronger this year. Hopefully we can take that into the league campaign.

“He’s got an enviable career. He’s done it all, and he’s off the back of winning the Euros. There’s no doubt he’s a fantastic player.

“He’s a lot more cool and calm than I thought he’d be, you can see that from his performances. The boys pick up and feed off that.

“Fabio Cardoso is obviously younger and he’ll learn a lot from Bruno. I’m sure he’s thrilled to be playing alongside him.

“He’s a dominant force in the air and on the deck he’s really good as well. He can see a pass and he’s a calm presence on the ball.

“I’m sure he can handle himself and pick his moments.”

Has Butcher been chopped?

Superb gs...pint on it's way!

First to post the answer gets a cyber pint!

Where is this...

C***** too...Brenda will be delighted!

Tranny shagger Brenda had this to say about it...(remember this has nothing at all to do with him)

“Throughout his time at Hearts it always seemed as though he was up against it. It always seemed a wee bit confused for me.

 

“You get so-called experts there to guide you. They bring you in to do the job but you are getting messages from everywhere.

 

“The one example we all saw was at Aberdeen (when Levein was passing notes via Jon Daly to the dugout). Christ Almighty. The game is hard enough, so you need to be able to think clearly.

 

“I also look at the recruitment. I am pretty clear on how Ian would want to play, with the formation and structures he set out.

 

“Those are footballing ideas, 3-4-3. It’s very clear how you have to work that to make the best of it - you have to pass the ball, you need players with a certain type of technical ability.

 

“But then they will switch to 4-4-2 and that’s what I’m talking about, the confusion.

 

“There was a coach who wanted to play a brand of football for the benefit of the players and for the club to have grown, although of course you have to win.

 

“That was set against players coming in who weren’t of that profile. With all due respect, Kyle Lafferty isn’t that, Christophe Berra isn’t that.

 

“That’s the difficulty of it. As manager, if your philosophy is different to someone else’s, then it is a mis-match.

Football was taking off again after the war. When my gran died we found several old football programmes in her house obviously bought by my grandad or my uncles.

I got the Rangers v Moscow Dynamo, Rangers v Celtic Victory Cup Semi replay, Rangers v Hibs Victory Cup Final, and the Scotland v England Victory International game.

That's a smashing discovery Boabie, a prize bit of memorabilia.

UTILITA – Britain’s fastest growing independent energy supplier – is delighted to announce it will once again be the Official Energy Partner of Rangers Football Club for the 2017/18 season.

Utilita has also extended their presence at the club as The Light Blues’ premier back-of-shirt sponsor. The Utilita logo will appear on the back of the first team home and away kits – the first partner to do this in the club’s history.

After a successful 2016/17 partnership, Utilita is delighted to be working with the Glasgow side again this season and continuing its positive presence in the city.

Earlier this year, Utilita was delighted to announce the opening of new offices in the centre of Glasgow as part of an ambitious growth plan which saw 200 new jobs created. The supplier also celebrated its 500,000th customer in April – up from 200,000 as recently as July 2015 – and this month reached a million supply points across the UK. It has also seen turnover jump more than 50 per cent to £411m while staff numbers have more than trebled in a year – from around 400 to nearly 1,500.

Jem Maidment, Head of Marketing & Communications at Utilita, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Rangers for a second season, a partnership that will see Utilita further engage with fans, with ticket giveaways, half-time challenge fun and match-day activities for all the family including the Utilita Street Football Zone.

“We’re also very excited to be the first ever Rangers back-of-shirt sponsor – as massive fans of Scottish football, we’re looking forward to an exciting season ahead with a renewed presence at the club.”

Scott Steedman, Head of Commercial at Rangers FC, added: “We are pleased to confirm Utilita will be continuing as the club’s official energy partner, and delighted to have such a well-established brand in Scottish football come on board as the club’s first back-of-shirt sponsor.

“Utilita has been a fantastic partner to work with, and we look forward to further strengthening our relationship with the company this season and beyond.”

Gers fans who switch to Utilita will receive an exclusive, limited edition Rangers in-home display cover. Customers will also receive a free smart meter, excellent customer service and a host of other benefits including exclusive access to festival and music tickets through its partnership with the world’s leading entertainment promoter, Live Nation.

The Utilita branded shirts will make their first display when Rangers play Motherwell away on Sunday 6 August 2017.

First three guys on the gantry wearing their army uniform, with a smattering of others dotted within the crowd.

I always go into the season believing Rangers will win the title, doesn't always work out that way obviously.

So I'm not thinking of anything else other than winning the league, maybe after a few games I'll think differently, as things stand right now it's Rangers for 55 this season.

Expect to come on at Xmas time still having that belief.

Sublime piece!

Judean peoples front ya splitter lol

First question in....

"You finished 39 points behind C*****, is there any danger of repeating that this season?"

Deary me!

Pedro's initial reaction...

Riot police now deployed outside the stadium...

Fighting between stewards and Aberdeen supporters.

 

Had to laugh at that ...stewards and fans facing up to each other then fan tries to kick steward and misses...so steward tries to kick back and someone grabs his leg...ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

The sheep dropped out of the Europa League tonight after going down 2-0 to Cypriot side Apollon Limassol.

Aggregate score 3-2.
