No it was Carlos Cuellar by a huge margin.

You could make a decent case for holding on to all our players but the reality is we MUST sell to stay afloat, so some of our best players MUST be sold. Just hopefully NOT in January.

It's interesting that all betting companies still have Celtic odds on to with the league flag. Even more interesting to see if that changes when we beat them in the next two meetings.

It's not strange at all. It's entirely familiar. It has been happening consistently over a period of many years and can be predicted with such certainty that the only strangeness involved is that anyone should still be expressing surprise about something that's completely normal from the bigots at BBC Scotland. The SNP continues its faux outrage at BBC bias, while the BBC continues to do all it can to ingratiate and massage SNP's largest bloc vote. What a very sad place Sturgeon's country has become.

Lewis Ferguson is a no brainier. Head and shoulders above the rest at Aberdeen Given his background I can’t see him being anything but keen on a move. ABerdeen will drive a hard bargain but with the new stadium I imagine they also have some pressure to raise what funds they can.

Every time I read about one of these projects I feel a surge of pride that I share common ground with the fantastic people behind it. Well done hardly seems adequate.

Goldson for me. I thought he had a great game.

Sadly, I very much doubt he gives a shit.

Not something I’ve ever noticed. Quite the opposite in fact.

Connor Goldson is having another good game.

Joe crossing himself after scoring ?

I might be in danger of investing a tad too much emotion in the win over Porto because the truth is it was a moderate performance, a great win but it settled nothing. The achievement will be qualifying for the next round, not beating Porto.

Enjoyed that, thanks for posting. Really conveyed the excitement of the event and a great advert for the club and fans. If done well, I think these vlogs are vastly more entertaining than podcasts that drone of for an hour or more and only reach out to a dedicated few.

Morelos certainly provided the moment of the match but, for me, Connor Goldson easily made the greatest overall contribution to last night’s victory.

Look how far we’ve come in 18 months. What a night.

To be honest Tav has been woeful

Ffs would someone else take the corners.

You'd think it would at least be possible to offer it to subscribers to the unlimited package. Still that's business I suppose. I wonder how much if anything Rangers receives for tonight's game from BT.

Has that been the same for other group stage matches?

The strangest thing about these MOTM polls is the reluctance of all but +/-30 members to express any opinion at all. Very confusing for what is after all a Rangers forum.

I agree with your fears about major new investment but I think the alternative is going to be a much longer road back than most believe.

When assessing the financial health of Rangers and progress towards a sustainable future, it might be prudent to assume there are parts of the board's business plan that are not expressed in the current financial statements. It's been my opinion for a while that permanent salvation from recent upheavals can only ever be fully achieved if there is substantial new investment that goes beyond the current support of Dave King and his allies. What they've done in recent years is hugely important but is it only building a platform for a different future? If we're honest, Rangers' mission is to compete with Celtic and unless their financial position is to deteriorate significantly then ours has to improve a very long way from where we are today. We may be able to "trade" our way to success and security but it will take more years to achieve it than most fans are prepared to contemplate. If short term success is to be achieved it can only be done by incurring a level of expenditure that current shareholders will find impossible to sustain for much longer. This is either going to be a much longer road back to the top than anyone is admitting or we are going to need significant new investment, almost certainly corporate investment ... and that is going to bring the return of a familiar risk for the club, which many fans will find equally unappealing. Finding that new investor has to be one of Dave King's priorities. I just hope he finds one we can live with. If not then we might need to re-assess our own priorities a little.

I should have said the aim of corporate management. The aims of the Treasury and HMRC are clearly another matter, although not always unreasonably so.

No, you're right, I knew nothing of this change and now understand where you're coming from. I can sort of see why they've done this but throughout the myriad of changes to accounting standards over the years the aim remains the same ... to reveal the underlying health or otherwise of the enterprise. Would reporting an EBIT or PBIT figure in any way allow these transient interest provisions to be stripped out - is that even acceptable from an audit pov?
