And 6 pints in the next couple of hours.

The manager.

Rangers 3 Hibernian 0 Fgs - Aribo

Exactly. It's a vital alternative.

Aribo, Hagi, Roofe, Kamara, Barisic.... take your pick. As a sidenote, Bongani Zungu looks more composed with every game.

Positivity from Gerrard. I'm glad we've introduced Hagi's inventiveness but I hope we don't miss Arfield's defensive work too much. A lot resting on Davis and Kamara dropping deep when required.

Judging by the number of goals Jackson and Johnstone scored from Tommy McLean's corners I think he might lodge a claim for the corner kicking trophy. BTW I don't think I ever met a more humble and generous bloke than Colin Jackson, everything you could want a Rangers player to be, off and on the park.

Besides, if Carlsberg did live football coverage it would probably look like Rangers TV. Superb production but without the blatant bias - football broadcasting for adults.

Surely to God no one will be funding St Johnstone when it's available live to all for a tenner at RTV. That would be like buying cheese from France when equally good British cheese is available for half the price.

It’s interesting how Barisic has changed from the nervous bloke who was so unsure of himself when he first signed. Great to see.

Merry Christmas to all

At least it's not Clancy.

Just hope Jack isn't too rusty and finds his form quickly but this is the perfect time to get our best midfielder back in harness.

Ah, my misunderstanding. I was talking about more than just the St Johnstone game. I think St Johnstone will again set up very defensively and look to counter attack but Arfield will probably need to start anyway since Jack almost certainly won't be risked. For the Hibs, Celtic and Aberdeen games Arfield might well be the natural option. Otherwise I think Hagi is a better option to unlock packed defences.

You could be right. I just feel Arfield is better suited to games where the opposition wants a slightly more open game and we can counter attack - as in Europe or old firm games - and is least effective where space is more constrained and invention is at a premium. Where Arfield wins over Hagi is where defensive duties carry greater value, which is why we need a more effective defensive sitting midfielder to complement him. For some of these games I would prefer to see Hagi and Jack rather than Arfield and Kamara ...... but luckily Gerrard isn't asking my opinion ?

I feel we have to find a way to get Hagi in the team. The difference he makes is considerable but I suspect we need Jack back or Zungu up to speed before that might happen.

Before any chance of winning this title is taken from us can someone in authority commit to censoring all posts by@craig for the next few weeks? It appears he's now attempting to jinx five games at a time. Please, before it's too late.

True

Ross County won’t be winning any trophies.

All it does is confirm the reality that if Celtic’s run of successes is to be stopped, it’s only Rangers that will do the stopping.

St Johnstone 1 Rangers 3 FGS Kent

Who knows but I find it hard to see what Morelos would have added today.

????????????

I think maybe we took more than just 3 points from that game.

Aribo and Hagi made the difference, especially Hagi.
