[HT] Rangers 2 - 0 Oxford. I like the look of some of the new boys.

Polster's been okay defensively, but a tad sloppy with the ball; I'm not sure if it's just pre-season, or something else.

Katic hits the bar with a raker!

Lovely move, but Halliday's shot was tipped round the post.

2-0! Stewart! Good run, good finish.

Delightful cross from Hastie; Stewart looked to have an open goal, but doesn't gamble. I look the look of Edmundson. He looks physical enough (6'3), and comfortable on the ball. He's only 21!

I don't want to start so early, but... Come on, Ref!! Let the game go!

Aribo looks confident on the ball; similar to Kamara. Edmundson looks like he has a good diagonal on him.

1-0! Candeias! Lovely counter-attack!

Come on, Tom! We've got new players here, in our first proper friendly match of the season. I don't want to hear about obscure rules.

We're set up how I suspected... *cough* *cough*

It's on RangersTV.

Hastie's supposed to be left-footed, is he not? I can see why he'd play right for Motherwell. His goals came from cutting inside. Everyone seems to think Aribo is more of a #10, while I still see him as another Kamara, albeit with a bit more attacking intent.

I think he plays on the left.

I think it'll be our normal formation (4-3-2-1): Alnwick Polster - Katic - Edmundson - Halliday Docherty - Kamara - Aribo Candeias - Hastie Stewart

Stewart playing, presumably, as a striker here, feeds into the idea of SG looking for a more fluid front three.

Who's this guy? Edit: From his bio: "Sports broadcaster for BBC. I talk about Leeds United a lot and love a round of golf. Views belong to me and not the BBC.".

I think it's the way he plays in the Leeds side; it's how Bielsa plays. Bielsa's 'strikers' are not static. It does look like SG is trying to adopt that fluid front three approach. I'm happy.

First time? Where have you been? Saying that, I take it you don't follow the Championship? He was immense for Leeds last season; by far their best player IMO. They suffered when he was out. I think he's out of our reach, however.

What time's kick-off?

It pleases me that we're finally on our way to implementing this.

If we get the right offer for Morelos, I have no problem moving him on. I trust the DoF has replacements being scouted.

9th of July? I better get my GPL spreadsheets prepared!

I think the team let him down. I still recall the video of the chances he created; numerous gilt-edged chances, that no one could put away. I wonder what he'd be like with better quality around him? Defoe, Morelos would stick them away. One of the most talented players we've seen in a Ranges shirt in years, for me. I'd have him back in an instant.
