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

Was obvious that the team were given clear instructions not to go long therefore it will be interesting to see how this pans out. Distribution is not Alan McGregors strength IMO and he has a tendency to pull the trigger on the long ball too early.

Although it was scarey at times, I like that we opted for playing out from the goalie instead of going long. Gerrard's been watching a lot of Liverpool vids I presume...

10 million pounds fine? What is the point? That's close to 4 players monthly salary for them

Always will be Rangers for me. I like the fact that we are one of a small number of clubs in the UK (and indeed the world) that has no geographical reference in our name.

Whit?

Agree completely about the 5 stars removal. The RFC monogram is one of the best in the sporting world (along with The Barbarians and Flamengo). It doesn't need an add on

As someone who has previously worked as a graphic designer, I think this a marked improvement. For a start, RANGERS is centred and above the lion instead if starting from round on the left side. That's done my head in for ages. The lion is also cleaner and more defined. Possibly could put Estd. 1872 in the spaces either side of the lion?? Next request...lose the stars from the classic RFC monogram. Call me a purist but I prefer it on its own to be honest.
