I'm still seriously hacked off about Wednesday. I was hoping the Milan derby would cheer me up a bit but that wasn't to be. McGregor and Barisic should both be dropped but one could probably argue that for the majority of players. It'll be interesting to see what GVB does with Kent and Tav, who were undroppable when Gerrard was here but were very poor the other night.

I'll abstain.

Last night was hard to stomach. We can debate and analyse it endlessly but it really boils down to having been a piss-poor, often shambolic Rangers performance.

You should read what's written and not what you think is written, Bill.

It's easy to look good when the opposition are as passive as Rangers were last night. Ross County scored three against us only a few days ago. We're better at attacking than we are at defending.

They did. The second half was an absolute embarrassment - they didn't try an inch and didn't have to either because we were so poor.

Celtc had their feet up in the second half. That 45 mins was largely an irrelevance.

Last night the players and management were to blame. Kent, Barisic and Tav were guff (only Arfield was anywhere close to getting pass marks) and GvB set us up all wrong. No positives to take from a huge match.

GvB's tactics look like he wants to draw away games. Given the capabilities in our squad, that's just nuts.

That was awful. We've been humped there before but generally because they had a better team. Last night was all about attitude and tactics and ours were pathetic (on both counts). The second half was maybe worse than the first because they let us play and we still did next to nothing. All in all, that was a fucking embarrassment.

The nerves are kicking in for me now - it's going to be a long 3 1/2 hours til KO. I hate these games.

Aye but Andy muppetheid Walker said it was just "a coming together".

Not really. I think there are some instances where a crowd can impact the team but it's pretty rare, especially in the UK, where the atmosphere at football is about as intimidating as a trip to the supermarket. Tims are more irritating than scary.

As much as I despise them, they have plenty of songs. For repetitive, see last night's Edinburgh derby (Hearts, Hearts, glorious Hearts vs For it's a grand old team, with an occasional Hivees, Hivees....repeat). Our songbook is certainly varied but the combination of the drum, the tempo issues and people being unable to sing these days are all having a negative impact on it. It sounded flat and generic up at Dingwall. Not that it'll matter tonight, obviously.

I'm watching the game with a mate who has an annoying habit of talking constantly during matches. Tonight, with Crocker/Walker/vermin belting out terrorist anthems in mind, I might encourage him to do it. Mon The Rangers! 🇬🇧

They haven't beaten us since December 2019. Some (admittedly atrocious) defensive lapses at Dingwall doesn't change the quality of our squad (or theirs).

Yes, we're all fully aware of that. Doesn't alter my initial statement though.

It's concerning how much emotion trumps reason in society nowadays.

We could've beat Ross County about 6-0 if we cut out the errors and kept at them.

I just hope we don't sit back. We have what it takes to outplay them and beat them.

Serie A has been fantastic this season - easily the best league to watch.

Yet another great day to be a Bear.

Can't wait to see Ramsay run out in a Rangers strip.
