IMO, currently it isn't- but fall any further behind and it is.

Agreed but points are more important than performance IMO. GVBs post match interview was horrendous - sounds like a beaten man.

Given the state we are in, I'd bite you're hand off for a boring 1-0 win.....

Didn't see the game so can't comment on the performance but the result was as I feared. We punched above our weight to be competitive in Europa League, being competitive in the CL looks way above and beyond us in afraid. That statement doesn't excuse an uninspired performance though, the least I expect from any Rangers team is 100% effort and commitment. If the manager can't get that from his players, it's clear his time is up. Historically we can point to very good Rangers teams struggling in the CL and looking out their depth and losing heavily home and away. In fact, apart from 1992-1993 and 2008 we've been constantly abysmal in Europe. The last 4 seasons bucked that trend but looks like all that good work has been undone. Huge game on Saturday and it's a must win - anything other than a victory must see GVB removed from his position as the league will be over before its even begun.

Driving back from a couple days in meetings so text alert loyal for me tonight as I stupidly thought it was 8PM kick off

Rangers 1 v 1 Ajax Tav FGS

Leipzig have also sacked their manager this morning - Tuchel's new job?

Agreed but to insinuate that Patterson is better than our duds after 6 games for Everton is a stretch (at best). I think Patterson and Bassey are great players and will go on to great things and thankfully we were paid handsomely for them. Lowery likely to be the next, and possibly King.

He has played (drum roll) a grand total of (another drum roll) 6 games for Everton. And i say that as a fan of Patterson but bit early to claim he is better than our "dud".

I would say a 50% success rate over a six year period. So 3 titles over the next 6 years (which would mean 4 out of 8). Don't think that is an unreasonable expectation. What we can't allow to happen is for them to have another 9-in-a-row opportunity

Thats a yellow, bordering in red card.....😀

The alternative is to cross our fingers and hope the Gio can catch Celtic (which is unlikely) and continue to produce miracles in Europe. We're losing money either way.....

The football landscape has changed since those heady days. You had Abderdeen, Motherwell and others who regularly took points from both us and Celtic. Now, the results of OF games determine the outcome of the league and we are more susceptible to dropping points outwith OF games. To be fair to those calling for Gio's head, this isn't just a recent phenomenon it's been happening (rightly or wrongly) since last season. His European record is fantastic, is domestic record is questionable, especially away from Ibrox. 2 heavy OF defeats in 3 visits to Parkhead isn't gonna get him plaudits. The board aren't going anywhere as we are not an attractive financial investment. We play in a provincial league with little domestic income. Punching above our weight in Europe has helped our brand awareness and brought in much needed finance. However, the board should never be above questioning and their "customer communication" is horrific. Things aren't perfect and haven't been since securing 55 - 1 ScottIsh Cup isn't a great return (isn't the worst eaither) especially when we were 6 points ahead when Gio took over. Europe has gotten him some grace (as it did with SG) but domestic form needs to improve and become consistently better or questions will remain and / or intensify.

So do you want Gio gone as we are as stale this Aug as we were last (domestically anyway).

Sarcasm and lowest form of wit and all that and once again you completely ignore the points raised Maybe Darius leaked them to me....

Another rumour that can be put to bed

What a weird turn of events.

About 50/50 then, if you're an SNP supporter 😆 As always the problem is who do you replace him with, how much would it cost to remove him and his team, and how much compensation would we have to pay for a new management team. Unless we're going with someone currently out of work? If we win on Wednesday, wonder how much the poll would change!

I completely understand the challenges they face, don't think there is anyone on here who doesn't. However, that doesn't excuse them for continually failing to deliver and improve in areas that have been broken for decades. Issues are real, they affect 1000 of fans week in and week out and are not being addressed and fans are continually "shouted down" when they raise these issue. Having helped run a RSC I have first hand experience of how good the people who work on the ticket office are but their job is continually firefighting issues created by the lack of a functioning ticket system. We have examples of ST seats being sold during public sales and then the stewards telling ST holders that the public sale takes the seat and ST holders moved. We have numerous examples of people doubling up to get access to big games denying people who actually pay for their tickets their seats. Plus people standing in Isles which is a safety hazard. People turning up 1hr before kickoff with kids and not being able to get hot food at kiosks. Some kiosks didn't have water. None of the above is tribal, its factual and its criminal that its not being addressed.

Look I'm perfectly OK with people supporting the current board and I admit they have done a decent job. However, I don't believe they are the correct board to take us forward. That is not being disrespectful to what they have achieved, just that ai don't believe Parks and Robertson can deliver what's best for Rangers. I might be in the minority of 1 in that opinion, but it's my opinion and one I'll defend.

Good responses but I take issue with "better the devil you know". Plenty said same when Murray was in charge....!

To be fair, our players barely understood what was going on around them yesterday. So maybe all of them were MOTM...

I'm perfectly calm and I'll decide which mood I'm in thank you very much.
