Hagi on ffs

Tav is looking like Tav from last season

Moan away. Motherwell were always going to play this. It's not a surprise to anyone

I don't think launching cross after cross is the answer

There is no point moaning about how they play. It's up to us to break it down

Hagi for Arfield for me. Arfield needs space and there is zero available

Agree about adversity. Hopefully the team will use it to their advantage today. High tempo from the off! The one concern I have had over the last few games or so has been our inability to score goals/create chances from open play. We have scored many goals from dead balls and corners and not really tested their goalkeeper beyond this. I want to see us getting back to Tav/Borna getting in behind defenders.

Rangers 5 Motherwell 0 FGS Roofe

Wish 1 - 3 points Wish 2 - Good performance Wish 3 - Boost the GD I don't ask for much...

I would go with the same personnel but change the formation slightly.... --------McGregor-------- ---Goldson---Hellander-- Tav----------------Borna ----Davis----Kamara---- -----------Hagi---------- ----Roofe------Kent----- -----------Itten---------- Or does Aribo come in again to play himself out of this dip in form/confidence?

Agreed. I'm not going to judge him on cameos and especially in games were every player was way below par.

Maybe we should have an alternative sock with prominent red base and black turnover to retain the connection to Govan?

Two things stood out for me. 1. Strips look so much better without sponsors splashed all over them (never going to happen) 2. The RFC monogram looks 100% better without those silly wee stars. I loved the scale of the one on the strip. It was large, bold and screamed of tradition. I genuinely hate those stars we have adopted on our famous crest. (could easily happen)

I think you are being kind by saying a few players. I can't think of one player that played well

Always will be just 7 in my head. This should also be in the players head to

May is certainly far away indeed. Especially when you consider we have Hibs, Motherwell and Aberdeen away in the space of a month in the early new year fixtures. First things first though. Saturday and 3 pts.

Hopefully a lesson learned tonight? Our next 2 away games are St Johnstone and St. Mirren and they won't be too far off that game there in terms of style. We just need to make sure we play our strongest XI from the start. Oh and defend better...

How we respond at the weekend will be telling.

I know Aribo has been injured but he was miles off the pace tonight. As was every player tbh. I thought the telling thing was Balogun had a lot of time on the ball and was forced to start our forward play (until Davis and Kamara came on). Zungu is tidy but wants to play Hollywood passes too many times for my liking

Dont give a damn about the league cup but its the bigger picture that would be a concern . The warning signs were there on Sunday at Tannidice IMO. We've played a lot of games granted but we were awful tonight and looked like we couldn't even do the simple things right. Just glad it's a cup game and not the league

Aribos been an empty jersey tonight

Very lacklustre indeed. Much like Tannadice IMO. Should we be concerned...? Too many long balls also

That all came from Kent trying to be too flashy. He needs to just concentrate on the simple things sometimes...especially in and around our box

Due to a previous work connection, I have had dealings with Dougie Payne and the other lads from Travis. They are all bluenoses apart from the singer Fran. Nice bunch of guys tbh

I'd whip him off now and get Itten or Defoe on. There's niggle in this game and we need 11 men
