RB: As I said elsewhere, I don't think this is about one issue but this topic along with other let downs from the club means people are getting more and more frustrated with how the club deal with certain stuff. As a result, everything is scrutinised and there seems to be little positives to do with Rangers at the moment.

Bardsley has done nothing to suggest he looks a better player. One free kick goal isn't enough to cement his place in the team. Hutton isn't a great player but I think he's been the target of some unfair stick this season. Last year he was poor (who wasn't?) but this term he's been reasonably reliable at right back. On Saturday, other than one mistake, he had a decent game and made a few last ditch tackles. He's done the same earlier in the season and overall has been OK. Now, his distribution and his positioning must improve but I'd certainly rather persevere with him than Bardsley, whose temperament is questionable and certainly didn't look to be any better. Personally, once Lowing has made a full comeback in the reserves from his bad groin injury, I'd like to see him in the team.

That's a fair point - but I can understand why some people would be upset with what seems another example of the club not acting upon the wishes of the support. The online community is a simpilistic way of judging things but by far of the majority seem to prefer and want a silence. Rangers should respect that.

Yeah, I think it's a proposed 5 year contract.

It will be a test of his lawyers as his family have just had a new house bought for them in preparation for his signature.

A silence can do that and is a much better way to show respect for someone who deserves it.

chris: Maybe at other grounds you do but not when it's at Ibrox where Rangers fans always immaculatley observe silences. Applause is ony for club's whose fans cannot be trusted to do that. We can and by having this applause we're only once more patronising our fans.

Fleck has already committed to Rangers and will sign professionally next year when he is 16.

Exactly. People's backing for Bardsley especially confuses me. He's had a couple of reasonable games but other than very public displays of petulance and indiscipline he has no more to offer than Hutton or Lowing.

Bobby was a fantastic player and a real ambassador for the club. The Trust also feels it would be most appropriate that Bobby be remembered in the traditional way, with an immaculately observed minutes silence prior to this Wednesday evening's match with St. Johnstone. Our most sincere condolences go to all of Bobby's friends and family at this sad time. The thoughts of all Rangers supporters will be with them. The Rangers Family has lost a very special member today.

RIP Another legend leaves us for a better place.

Yes.... indeed you do. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing right now...

Yeah, watched the game at ian1964's house and I said the same - the only way we'd lose goals was to set pieces. Our defence, well the central defence anyway, is awful when defending crosses and set-pieces. Conversely our own are also terrible.

Jim Hannah is one guy at the club who still seems prepared to help Rangers fans instead of hinder them.

I thought Hutton did OK yesterday. Made a few decent tackles but must improve his distribution and positioning.

I reckon you'd do a fine job on the left wing Barry... or should that be right?

I thought the defence did well generally also... Couple of early, nervous errors but other than we coped well with their dangerous players who had scored against Auxerre.

Did give us 2 penalties though.... First one certainly wasn't a foul but 2nd one definitely was. I guess that evens out the Livorno decision. Now just the ones given against us in the SPL to even out...

A 4-3-3 would enable all 3 to play together and I think that would be ideal. I think it depends on what central defence we use. I'm not sure who to play in there to be honest. Papac, Hemdani, J-Rod and Svensson all have their fair share of weakness and I'm not sure which combination we should use to cope with the more physical and direct Scottish game. I'd certainly have Papac as first choice and I wouldn't like to see Hemdani dropped but at this moment in time I'm still undecided about his defensive qualities. Jury remains out for me.

Possibly mate but take it from me, barring a crisis, Klos won't play for us again. Neither, going by his awful attitude, does he want to.

If anyone seen Klos play for the Reserves the other day, they wouldn't want this now shadow of his former itself anywhere near the first team.

Now, that McGregor has signed a new contract I think he might stay in goal this time.

I think 'confused' is the best description

Not very well.... Even their protester from last night failed.
