I have the same memories of Brown playing all over. He even played left back sometimes. Especially when Gough and McLaren were a pairing?

Ha ha! Only being honest. Was never a fan but I'll keep an open mind. Neil McCann is a decent addition. I like his views on football. Souness will be interesting...

Clive Tyldesley? Genuinely hate his commentary. Still cringe at his ill advised Hillsborough referenced "justice for the England XI" comment at the world cup in 2018. Still surprised that he's with Rangers TV. Did he get hooked from Premiership gigs?

He won't play a whole season but he doesn't have to. He would probably have got around 17/18 goals last season if the lockdown didn't happen. Someone who can provide that from occasional starts and substitute appearances takes the pressure of the other striker IMO (whoever that may be...)

Some who can get 20 league goals will do for me. Once fit again Defoe will score goals. Let's not forget he scored more league goals than Alfie last year from far less game time

Checked out his showreel on YaTube and he looks tidy with an eye for a forward pass. Maybe replace S Davis position in the midfield pecking order?

Agree 100%

Jack is a very tidy player but I feel he needs to impose himself on the game more. Oh and score more goals while you're at it... Davis, Jack and Kamara will be lucky to get 5 goals between them this season. That's the difference between us and them at the moment for me

No-one could argue with that but this a whole new campaign so hopefully SG and the squad will learn from past mistakes and sustain a challenge. We have a few "home" games coming up so we can start to be a bit more ruthless and get goals to boost our GD

3 goals actually but this is after 1 game of a long campaign. A wee bit of an overreaction me thinks

Early days obviously but he looked composed

Lawell will no doubt be working on a strategy to reduce points for top 6 games won without a crowd...

Good 3 pts to start with but my main worry would be the way we lost our way in the 2nd half. I've got a feeling that we may have dropped points in a game like that if they had a crowd behind them

Aberdeen are truly loathsome

I have a bad feeling about this...

A goal.up and utterly dominant but we've been here before. Need a second goal to relax

Somewhat surprised that Balogun starts ahead of Edmondson. Still, it will be good to see him in action

Nice kit. Is it black or navy? Hagi's shorts look navy while the rest look black? What's with the dry ice? Half expecting to see Bonnie Tyler pop up somewhere...

Agree about the tactics. It was highly evident in most of the pre season games I managed to catch, that we were making a conscious effort not to go long via the GK unless it was it was a last resort. If we can genuinely nail this, IMO it's one way to negate games turning into a battle with very little midfield action. Alan McGregor is too quick to relinquish possession for me

Cool. Was thinking more about having enough to bring the right guy in as opposed to last ditch stop gap or loan. Is October 5th Europe wide?

Feel quite optimistic about our first XI keeping the pace. Less optimistic about strength in depth but key players (Aribo, Kent, Barasic) have a another year under their belt so hopefully that will work to our advantage. The striker issue is a worry but hopefully there is still time to bring someone in? I feel our season relies on what season Celtic have to be honest. If they get into a winning streak it will be hard. Hopefully the lack of crowds early doors might be some sort of leveller, so who knows? As long as we are in touching distance going to OF games. We know we have the better of them in one off games

Aberdeen 1 Rangers 4 FGS Kent

Agreed. Look at Andy Robertson. He went from Queens Park to Liverpool in 4 years and is now a CL winner, Premiership winner and is regarded as one of the best left back in he world.

Tragically sad news indeed. RIP David. You fought a good fight mate.

Take a bow Sir. Brilliant post
