Some of the stat gurus will be able to confirm but the vast majority of his goals have been "important" goals like 1st goals, equalisers and winners. He is continuing that this season; equaliser on Tuesday and 1st goal in Saturday.

Cifuentes loan with obligation to buy looks likely to be sealed soon. We are paying a % of his wages this season but worth it as we'll receive a fee for him. Cantwell is back training with the 1st squad after being relegated to B Team. Anyone's guess what that means regarding his short-term future. Hagi said himself that he is only on his 2nd week of pre-season so miles behind. Played for B Team at weekend and scored a hat-trick. Unsure if the interest in him is real or just a figment of his agents imagination. Only time will tell what will happen with Cantwell and Hagi - still leaves players like Davies, Tav, Ridvan, Lawrence, Dowell, Matondo, Wright etc that we could be doing with moving on / replacing.

They're ten-a-penny apparently.

I'm sure the manager indicated that at a recent press conference. Said targets were dependent in if we are in CL or EL (we have targets for either scenarios).

As does Mr Clement apparently - zero minutes in competitive games and not even a run out for the B Team.

I was being sarcastic. We can sign Shankland on a free in January, why spend anything close to £4M on him now? Not as if clubs are queuing up to buy him.

I think we take £4M for Dessers and buy Shankland from Hearts. Problems solved - CL qualification and SPFL title secured. 👌

Or keep him, he scores the goals that get us to CL and £4.2M is a "drop in the ocean".... "£5M down the drain, Dessers scores again".....🎶🎶🎶

Last word on Dessers - there needs to be a willingness to leave.

Your willing to take a loss on your top goalscorer with no guarantee we are going to replace him or his goals? That's utter madness. All players have a price but we can't be selling our top scorer (and our only regular scorer) for a loss.

We've apparently received a £4.2M bid for Dessers. With only a half-fit Danilo and the unknown Igamane, it would be absolute madness to accept (unless we have someone lined up 100%). Dessers already on 2 goals for the season, a brilliant finish that gor us out of jail in Tuesday and the important (earlyish) opener yesterday. He does appear to score important goals.

Rewind a bit further, the ball is kicked out by Motherwell keeper to Motherwell player on half-way line who was completely unmarked. We were then exposed down the right flank. A real comedy of errors.

Barron for me with mentions to Cerny and Dessers.

I did say I was joking (cough - nerd - cough) 🙂

Do you have stats on how many times they gave the ball away? Or misplaced passes? Or crossed the ball to no-one? Or missed challenges? I'm joking by the way 🙂 Maybe coincidence but the subs appeared to kill all our momentum. But lets focus on the positives - Cerny looked very good, Dessers with another goal and Barron was outstanding.

Has Shankland scored........

Take it all back, our full backs (especially Tav) are our bestest players 😉

After a decent 1st half, we ended up hanging on against a Morherwell team ravaged by injuries. 1st win of season, Barron was outstanding, Cerny looks a player, Propper had an eventful debut, Dessers scores again. Ridvan and Tav remain weak links in the team. So much breaks down with them due to their lack of final ball. Also both posted missing defensively.

We've been poor in 2nd half thus far.

As an aside my allocated seat at Hampden is decent even of it is in C3ltic end 🙂

Sloppy goal apart, playing well offensively. Defence still giving me palpitations.

Pick. That. Out.

Our defence is an utter joke

Rangers 2 v 0 Motherwell Dessers FGS

Wright is an enigma but must have some thing, as both Gio and Clement appear to rate him (as do his team-mates). Cantwell was training with the B-Team so I was surprised to see him training with the 1st team in today's photos (Igamane was there as well). We are still short in many positions but we just have to go with what we've got until we get more bodies in.
