At pushing £50 for a ticket, think I'll give this a miss. It'll be carnage anyway - 35,000 Bears v Man Us tourist fans 😉😀

Good move for Borna Barisic if true. Would be great to see him leave as a treble winner - been a good servant and value for the £1.5-£2M we spent on him.

Great video and great story. All the best John (and his pal) - heartwarming and heartbreaking

Derek Dougan - Wolves and Northern Ireland. Sure he played in 1958 World Cup and helped Wolves to 1972 UEFA Cup Final

All joking aside, it's in our interest for Lammers to continue to do well whilst out on loan. It's the only way we'll be able to move him on in the summer.

Never said he wasn't a dud, but he's not even close to being anywhere near as bad as those listed and many others not listed .

Not arguing that point, but he is no where near the worst player to play for us.

I bet anyone could name dozens of Rangers players who were worse than Sam Lammers. You only need to think back to the dark days of League 2, our wilderness years in the Championship and the barron years of the early to mid 80's. I'll start, I'm sure we'll get there very quickly Ian Black Billy King Michael O'Halloran Francis Jeffers James Beatie Andy Kennedy Bobby Williamson Carlos Pena Salim Kerkar Sebo Nuno Capucho The Newcastle Five Every player Le Guen signed with the exception of Sasa Papac Feel free to add, there plenty more Late edit and contender for the award, I give you Mr Kevin Kyle.

Hearing Dundee asked SPL to reschedule kick-off to 3:00PM as believed weather would improve and they'd have time to sort the pitch. Their request was refused (presumably due to game being chosen by SKY). Dundee and SPL have a few questions to answer.

Handy when your on a RSC and on way to Dundee.

When Dessers signed for us, I'm sure it was Ronald De Boer who said Dessers is an enigma and is a confidence player who'll eb and flow over the course of season. Think we are witnessing him "ebbing" rather than "flowing" at the moment. Silva to start and Dessers to come on later IMO.

Which was my initial point - not who was better, but how tired Ridvan was on Thursday night. He want the only one to be fair to him, but no getting way from the fact he looked out on his arse on Thursday. The debate on who is better is down to opinion, but using statistics, they are pretty even.

Weirdly, the stats would make it easier for someone to go into bat for Borna Barisic as they show it could be argued he's definitely as good as, or even better than Ridvan Yilmaz. Again, weirdly, I hear / see far more fans doubling down on Ridvan being better, when the stats aren't really there to prove that. We paid a lot of money for Ridvan, so would need to recoup £8-£10M for him to be classed as a trading model success. I'm not and never have gone into bat for Barasic. I've continually said that they are a much of a muchness and the stats @Rousseau kindly provided show that my opinion is almost spot on (for a change).

If only they could be combined into one left back 😀

So per 90mins Barasic is better defensively and offensively?

In theory I agree but Roofe is just coming back from injury and is lacking in sharpness. I'd go with Silva and play Wright and McCausland wide if they are fit.

Agreed he can't score the goals for attackers. Given Barisic is playing with the same attackers, would it suggest the quality of his crosses / delivery is better than Ridvan's? I mentioned in my original post, I believe Barisic is our best option from corners (not that that's a reason to select him) as his delivery from corners is far better than both Tav and Ridvan. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, both have their strengths and weaknesses. The undeniable fact is that Ridvan looked absolutely drained on Thursday night. That would be a mixture of the quality of opposition, the conditions and the amount of game time he, and others are being asked to play. It's a tough decision for the manager tomorrow. We can't afford to drop any points so does he go with players who are physically and mentally drained (it's not just Ridvan I'm talking about here) or does he go with players who are coming back from injury (or not played for a while). Both options are gambles, PC will need to decide if he sticks or twists. I think he'll go with minimal changes and that's fine with me. I'm also fine if he makes 4 or 5 changes.

When I said assists I meant chances that created goals, I'm sure Barisic is ahead of Ridvan 😀 Anyone who watched Thursdays game must have noticed how mentally and physically drained he was. I'm not singling him out, I mentioned 4 or 5 others who looked the same. I've said numerous times (until I'm sick to my back teeth) I really don't care who starts as there is nothing between them IMO. It's the demonisation of Barisic that is unfair IMO.

That's you opinion, and you're entitled to it. It does however remind me of a story Jim Denny told. When he was a sub in an old firm game he was told to go and warm up. He did but went and warmed up at the Celtic end. When he returned to the bench he was asked why. He simply said, I get less abuse off them. Barasic isn't anywhere near as bad as some Rangers fans attempt to make him out, and he isn't near as good as others make him out. In fact, him and Ridvan are much of a muchness. However, I do believe the stats will show Barasic offers more assists and in my opinion, he's our only full back that can take a decent / dangerous corner. His time at Rangers is coming to an end, hopefully Ridvan's is as well.

I'd like to see Barasic play tomorrow as Ridvan look absolutely shattered on Thursday. So much so, he attempted a long throw into the box and it landed at his feet. He also look mentally drained - the short corner routine was comical and he continually gave the ball away. Telling that the guy who sits next to me who is a big fan of Ridvan said at half-time "if Barasic had put in that performance, he'd have been crucified". Ridvan isn't the only one looking mentally and physically drained - Goldson, Lawrence, Dio, Lundstram, Dessers, to name a few all look like they could do with a rest / break. The players coming back from injury (Matando, Cantwell, Roofe and Raskin) have shown in the little playing time they have had that they are short of minutes. Whilst the team requires wholesale changes, I'm certain PC will ask the same tired, injured players to go again for 90 more minutes before the international break. He is in a catch 22 situation tomorrow. Dropping points playing tired players and drop points he'll receive criticism. Make wholesale changes and drop points, he'll receive criticism. Tomorrow is the most important game of the season in my humble opinion and I don't envy PC his job of getting the ballance right with his team selection. Basically tomorrow is a case of win and win at all / any cost and hope that we get more players back after the international break Long winded way of saying I think that the team needs freshened up but think PC will ask the tired players to go again one more time. No right or wrong answer but our season might rest on tomorrow's game.

Aye, but don't tell him that 😀
