3-1 FGS Roofe

Perspective please. The priority was a win and 3 pts. The clean sheet was a bonus. Did we play our best game of the season? Far from it but these are the games that will win titles. We simply cannot reach the heights for every game.

David Francey...I have fond memories of hearing his dulcut tones. These were usually via the TV/Radio from some exotic location when Rangers/Scotland were playing (pre Sky for the younger members)

Started the day with Bellini's, followed by a few cans of Guinness. Moved onto a Australian cabernet sauvignon (19 Crimes) for the Christmas feast and finished the day with a some ice cold Heinekins. Surprisingly for me I have a clear heed this morn. Roll on round 2...

As much as Hibs offer a more offensive challenge, I can only see this a positive for us. The last group of games have seen us face teams that have set up very defensively, with little space to get in behind. Let's not lose sight of where we are and how we got there. We are the top of the league for a reason and IMO, all the tactical questions are firmly on Hibs. Do they come at us and open themselves up to Tav/Borna/Aribo/Kent/Kamara/Airfield/Hagi/Roofe exploiting space they have not had in a while? Or do they sit tight and stuff the midfield and hope for something on the break? Personally I think we will wallop them today.

For some reason I feel like we are going to batter them. 4-0 FGS Roofe

Agree. Just glad Aribo is looking back to his sharpness. He is our game changer IMO

Hagi and Aribo proved last night that they are crucial if we are struggling to Tav/Borna in behind. Along with an effective front man (Roofe) they can create through the middle with their passing and quick feet

Amazing find. I worked as an graphic designer/illustrator for over 25 years and can trace the origins of my interest in art back to 2 things. The animations of Walt Disney Studios and the caricatures of Malky McCormack

I think you are being hard on Kent tbh. Not everything Kent does comes off but he does other things that are important to the team like tracking back and closing down, creating space for other players etc. One thing I like about Kent is that he always tries to get involved and never hides

3 pts. Clean sheet. 1 more added to GD. Aribo gets vital game time. Job done.

Once Aribo is up to speed he can really bring something different to the team

Early days but looks like it's gonna be a long night...

Surely they know we would be crowned champions. We only have last season to refer to

Somewhat surprising line up for me. Expected Alfie and a little surprised at Aribo coming in. Either way, we should have too much on the pitch for them. C'mon Rangers!!

And we're Champions obviously...going on last season's barometer?

Apparently so. And £17.50 for the privilege...

I tend to agree about Brown and where we're at. I just genuinely dislike that cretin and his antics and the fact that he is lauded by so many

Of course but come the OF game this troglodyte will attempt to use every trick in the book to cling onto their hopes of 10. We (and in particular Alfie) cannot fall for it again. His antics on Sunday were staggering (even for him)

This accompanied by a video showing that numbskull Brown lording it at Hampden. His imminent pain itself should be a motivation for everyone associated with Rangers. He really does illustrate how far Scottish football has fallen

I also note that the antics of their resident thug Brown have been overlooked by the MSM. If that was Alfie behaving like that there would be an avalanche of editorials and pundit opinions. Oh and while we are at it... has the MSM mentioned their fans pyro welcome for their team at Hampden? No social distancing and flares...tut tut

Good points Buster but I feel we need to think about the XI who are going to start the game, set the tempo and ultimately get a stranglehold on the game. Our tempo has dipped over the last few games IMO and we need to go for it from the first whistle. Subs are great (Saturday being a great example) but it also signifies that the starting XI have fallen below recent high standards. I'd rather our subs are coming onto to the pitch with us in a winning position tbh

What a bizarre picture to use

I'm going to busy over the next few days so I thought I would just drop this here tonight. It goes without saying that 2020 has been a remarkable/surreal/unprecedented year so I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Getsnetters a safe, peaceful and merry Christmas. Here's to better 2021!
