Our one and only focus should be 3pts against St. Johnstone away on Wednesday. Level of performance, clean sheets, GD etc. are all bonuses at this stage of the season. There is no point in playing amazing, getting a clean sheet and then only drawing the game.

Most important 3pts of the season IMO

If that happens in the middle of the park it's a foul

Why waste 15 minutes to do that?

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
