I think it’s probably inevitable.

He should have started yesterday. We need him back to his best form but he won't get there sitting on the bench.

Spot on but small mercies and all that - at least we've stopped conceding goals every time there's a cross into our six yard box.

It's definitely better than under GvB but it's also clear there's a way to go yet. For me, by far the brightest highlight of the game was seeing Iannis Hagi back on the pitch and looking like he's lost none of his ability. He's the best addition we could have hoped for in this transfer window. The defence continues to improve but, much as I praised his improved performance in the first half, I'm afraid Tav still looks the weakest link in the back line and as the team improves around him it just becomes more obvious. Also - it takes a lot to make Hibs look good but Aberdeen managed it with flying colours.

Fair shout. Maybe Jack off given his yellow card. I'd also bring on Colak for Morelos.

Enough possession and chances to win three games. All we're missing is a clinical finisher and our best one is sitting on the bench so there's no point continuing with Morelos in the 2nd half. Good debut from Cantwell who seems to have the character/confidence needed. A little better from Tav today, maybe his best showing in 6 months. Tillman superb. Big relief when Jack got back up from that tackle.

Glad to see Lundstram dropped. He's not playing his way out of his dip in form so perhaps a period of rest will help get him back playing like we need him to. Personally I'd have preferred Morelos to be benched rather than Sakala. Hoping this is the day we finally put the opposition to the sword.

It's really true I tells ya

Time to poke the JuJu Man in the eye and say there's no way we're winning by fewer than 4 goals today. Take that JuJu Man!

I like to think of it as two great but humble minds coalescing into the font of all wisdom.

Shit that was easy. I see how they do it now

You must think I meant you. Strange

I know what Penny Mordant would say about it 😉 Bloody doom mongers are all over this ACDC clothing range too, completely missing the point that it's Bisgrove's job to raise new income and every penny earned is in all our interests.

Hey, what d'you mean another stupid rumour? 😂

What does it matter if it benefits Park Motor Group? Surely all that matters is weather provides additional competitive income to Rangers. Why are we so obsessed with hanging negativity on everything?

I really wouldn't get excited about this Southampton business. It was just the first club I thought of when I decided to make up this bullshit. Just wanted to join in the spirit of the topic. 😉

I just think we need to give other forwards a chance to find and maintain form too.

Good player but would he come to Rangers with all the peripheral issues?

Actually I forgot all about him.

Is Colak not a better option here?

I'm not usually privy to any inside info about recruitment but this morning I was told on what I consider to be good authority that we're in advanced talks to sign someone from Southampton. Any idea who that might be?

Personally, given that choice, I agree with you. However it comes with a price ... that we may well remain an Espanyol of Glasgow.

You may well be right. It's hard to see the attraction for the mega rich, in which case we are where we are and here's where we stay.

You can take a horse to water as often as you like but in politics there's no mechanism for forcing it to drink.

I doubt these shareholders will take us to the promised land of domestic dominance and financial security but they probably will keep our head above water. The major investment required to go beyond survival will mean new shareholders and all the risk that comes with them. I imagine the current owners are busy trying to find our saviours and their exit route. Whatever happens I think the current board have done a very good and desperately needed job, albeit with some frustration for an impatient support.
