More arrogance from the self proclaimed Saint regarding Morelos, oh so he doesn't need any help to react , would that be in the same way lego eater doesn't need help to stick his elbows in player's faces?

Would love to take this guy down a peg or 6 tomorrow.

Where are the yahoos on this list? Shouldn't they be no1?

Over the years I've been lucky enough to be involved in a number of corporate deals, some quite significant. Nearly all of these involved highly experienced and competent businessmen and women. It never failed to disappoint me how many times such negotiations became mired in "personal" animosity, to the extent that you became convinced people had lost their minds. It doesn't surprise me what has happened over this EBT issue. Bigotry and irrational principles hold sway and nothing is going to change that.

I wish the reptiles nothing but the most brutal of misfortune and if the occasion should ever demand it I hope Club 1872 make good on their threat/promise.

Had a listen to the last caller on Clyde having a go at Keevins ( Don't listen normally as a rule obviously) but Keevins said certain players wouldn't have signed, fact is it was a legal scheme, but King said the players would have signed regardless and far from giving us an advantage we had to pay costs for advice from the Murray Group.

I know Keevins is a rat, and he should get his facts straight.

If it is the SFA need to act. This club & it's chief exec are now totally out of control

They need to effectively shut them up ... as much as is possible, how many languages do they need to say it in .. Japanese for slanty eyes, the fat Jap? There is no doubt relations between the Old Firm are at an all time low and it's all that reptile's doing.

Just watching this and noticed they referred to John McGinn of Hibs as 'The Buffalo'. Isn't that a nickname for Morelos?

 

Also, Steven Thompson saying Hibs won't push Aberdeen for 2nd but may push Rangers for 3rd or 4th.

 

The wife is wondering why I'm shouting at the TV.

Also Hibs are no more than charlatans, anyone can see that with their results since their ONLY match that counts, if anyone can't see we look to be on the march a bit now and surely fav for 2nd place they are either in denial or should go to Specsavers, I suspect the former given the show we are referring to.

That is incredible scumbaggery. I wouldn't even expect that from the worst kind of Tim.

Correct he's lower than the lowest of maggots

Spears in the Tims you mean.

Yahoos wanting a review of the licensing in 2011 now, when will these vindictive ratbags ever be told? Oh wait what a stupid question!

Hit the nail on the head!!!!

 

Regardless of how we performed last season, Ceptic dropped VERY few points over the course. We lost 9 games & drew 10 - that's where we lost the league....those 10 draws cost us 20 points (without being defeated). The (alleged 2nd best team in Scotland lost 10 & drew 4), yet no-one appears to go on about the points gap between them & Ceptic!!!!

 

This season, the OF games will take care of themselves - the real focus has to be on all the other games. We must pick up a helluva lot more points from them & we will be much closer.

I have a feeling we will sort out the other teams this season.

This season isn't (realistically) about winning the league. It's about closing that points gap between us & Ceptic, and hopefully giving them a scare along the way.

 

Ceptic are NOT (IMHO), the wonderful team that the media make out....it's just that the other teams in the league are unable to trouble them too much over a sustained period. They do have some good players, just the world beaters there made out to be.

 

Hopefully with the new intake of players this summer, we will be in a better position to challenge them, but more importantly we're better placed to take the vast majority of points of the other teams. If we do that, we'll remain in touch of them.

I agree, next season for me is the key one, it only takes a few better signings still added to McLean and Walker and we can run them a lot closer... and you just never know.

I watched him on Sun and he got beyond the strikers and looked dangerous at times with some neat wee flicks, I may be in a minority but I reckon he will be a main player for us, and remember he looked to be a positive force on Sun when as we all know he is still to get sharp. I don't understand the level of negativity. It's a yes from me.

I have sympathy with him as he has come here in the midst of them going for 10, it would be difficult at any time, it's a results driven business but I would like him to get as long as possible as long as we are reasonably better off than we were last season come May.

As people have said because of all the factors including the mhedia attitude to him I have never wanted a manager of ours to succeed as much as I want him to. We can't afford to keep changing manager after manager and set ourselves back with rebuilding all the time, give him another couple of transfer windows and see what happens.

Pedro was merely being polite and friendly to a fella on a plane when he discussed possible transfers.

 

When asked he was hardly going to say, we're not signing anyone and you're going to fell let down. He was just being positive which is fine by me.

Yes, but he maybe could have said, we'll see or we are still looking, maybe didn't realise it would have been taken as something good was likely to happen which most folk would have taken from that.

Given the Sun reckon we won't sign anyone else does anyone else reckon this line about the fans being very happy didn't happen, he wouldn't be saying that about an own loan left back whose here for cover, especially when the Walker deal isn't getting anywhere either.

Rangers and Pedro Caixinha need a reality check if they get carried away with win against Ross County, says Bill Leckie.

 

Gers are still a long way from where they need to be with a disjointed bunch of players left from the Mark Warburton era.

 

WE’RE all entitled to a senior moment now and again.

 

That brainfart feeling when we’re standing in the middle of a room, but can’t remember what the hell we went in there for.

 

For most of us, though, that’s all it is — a few seconds of standing there, feeling daft, with no one else any the wiser.

 

Not so poor Scott Fox. Because when ​HIS​ head froze, it was in his own box, in the middle of a crowded stadium, with 2,000 Rangers fans right behind him, live on TV.

 

An inexplicable blackout when dogs stopped barking at caravans and howled: “Keeper, man oooooonnnnn!”

 

Too late, though, came the cry.

 

In nips Alfredo Morelos, the empty net rustles and the Fox in a fix in his box is the loneliest man on the planet.

 

If he lives to be 100, he still won’t be able to explain why, having chased down a wonky passback and Cruyff-turned Morelos, he then took a breath, looked up the park for a target to boot the ball to.

 

And completely forgot the striker was behind him.

 

The only other goal like it I could recall in recent times was the one when Shay Given of Newcastle rolled the ball ahead of himself and Dion Dublin tip-toed in to steal it.

 

But at least in that instance, Dublin had been off the pitch and Given probably thought he wouldn’t be allowed back on.

 

Here, Fox simply went to sleep and committed the blunder to end all blunders on an afternoon that was littered with them — yet an afternoon when, had so many involved not been so fallible, might have turned into the dullest 90 minutes since the last World Paint-Drying Championships.

 

Ross County manager Jim McIntyre got it wrong from the off, sitting too deep, paying Rangers way too much respect and offering not an ounce of threat.

 

It was an error he seemed to admit by making his first change ten minutes before the break, by which time they were already a goal down.

 

Pedro Caixinha got it wrong when he left Niko Kranjcar out there even though he was so clearly towing a caravan, an error that could have proved costly after the Croatian got caught in possession to set County galloping forward for the goal that got them back in at 2-1.

 

As for ref Craig Thomson, he got two big calls wrong — first when he only booked home skipper Andrew Davies for leading with the elbow in a first-half aerial challenge against Kenny Miller; then when he let James Tavernier away with bundling Thomas Mikkelsen as he barrelled his way into the box soon after the break.

 

It was that kind of day in Dingwall — one dotted with precious little quality but liberally smeared with clumsiness and poor decision-making.

 

Still, as far as Caixinha was concerned, the quality was in the result and he can be happy and relieved in equal measure that his team ground it out.

 

But let’s be honest here, folks.

 

For long spells, they were once again about as convincing as Steve McClaren’s Dutch accent, a disjointed gaggle of survivors from the Mark Warburton era and unproven summer imports.

 

Morelos took his first goal well and was on the spot to cash in for his second, which is what he’s there for.

 

Daniel Candeias had some neat touches, Eduardo Herrera neatly tucked in the clinching third goal, and Graham Dorrans and Ryan Jack are reliable in midfield.

 

But Kranjcar looks as unhappy as he has done, the lesser-spotted Carlos Pena came on and puffed his way around the park at half-pace, while centre-back Fabio Cardoso doesn’t ​appear to be someone you’d want beside you when the shots and shells are flying.

 

Makes you wonder what someone with the presence and ability of Bruno Alves thinks as he comes to terms with his new life in a new county.

 

Now, I don’t know whether, at going on 36, he thought he was coming here for a pension and an easy life.

 

All in all, they are still a mile short of being where they want to be.

 

But, if so, the first few weeks of the season have surely proved otherwise.

 

And on the evidence of three weekends — which have thrown up a home defeat to Hibs, an iffy 0-0 with Hearts and now an away win made so much easier by a goalie’s nightmare — he might ​well have to be ​the barrier between a Rangers team in constant transition and yet another doing at the hands of their great rivals from across the city in a few weeks’ time.

 

You know, unless the caravan gets fitted with a turbo-charged engine before then…

What is the Dipstick on about, getting carried away? Also it's a given we'll get a doing is it? In his dreams.

Given Pedro has said today on transfers 'The fans will be happy, the fans will be very happy' could he be on his way?

If Moult was signed questions would surely be asked why we bought Herrera

He may have to take a hit on that one.

Sure he may not work out but that is the case for any player, but as was mentioned do we not bother signing a player because he will be up against packed defences? It goes back to not signing players that stare you in the face, Aberdeen got May and sure he may not be a good signing but the chances always were that he would be and he's had a great start.

How do you know Moult would do the business for us ? What does he bring that Garner didn't ?

How do you know he won't ? Goals, experience of reasonable personal success in Scotland.

So what do we do? Never try anybody because everybody will play 10 men behind the ball? He's as good a bet as anything likely to be available at a reasonable price and netted 2 in one game against the unmentionables and another against the sheep when his team are likely playing 9 men behind the ball and he's up there battling it out alone against an entire defence.

 

Everybody is a gamble but he has a proven record playing in a side creating little in the way of chances.

I agree and I also feel Aberdeen for instance make obvious signings like May etc, signings we should make, Moult comes into that category as we know they will do the business, I feel for too long Rangers have signed too many unknown or relative unknowns.

According to the Sun the Man City winger is coming on loan and will sign before Sunday's match.

A large proportion of his corners in the second half were crap. At one point Tavernier was right next to him and you wanted him to take it instead.

He has shown he can cross though.

Moult is not the solution to our problems.

Think he may solve one problem in particular

There is no service to the strikers. Ronaldo could play up front for us and he still wouldn't score

Sure some of Candeias's enticing crosses would be converted by Moult.
