Hearts are garbage.

Is there any word on Helander - I'm sure mid-December was when he was expected back? I'm hoping for a few goals tomorrow night but as usual, the three points is what really matters.

It's debatable but considering what the club and support have been through over the last decade, would it not be more decent to discuss these things behind the scenes. The Sun and the Daily Record aren't exactly our friends.

Call me a cynic but I suspect he's more interested in getting some of his outlay back than helping the club.

I'm thoroughly enjoying Van Bronckhorst's management. Subtle changes have all worked well and things look so much better than they did a few weeks ago. If recruitment goes well in January, we might be onto something special.

Agreed. I can't see us getting past any of those teams, unfortunately.

The yahoo obsession with stats is amusing. I'll take three points over all the other stuff, every time.

Great result at a difficult venue. Hats off to GvB - the results since he arrived have been terrific.

Hearts play like a pub team but it seems to work for them. Today is all about matching them in desire and physicality. Mon The Rangers! 🟥⬜🟦

Given the voting habits in parts of Scotland, there's a fair chance Glaswegian Rangers fans are more likely to vote SNP.

I recall a Glaswegian chap telling me you have to be from Govan to be a real Rangers supporter. I just smiled in response.

Itten is too hit and miss to rely on.

RFC our badge says. Rangers Football Club the crest says. I'll stick with that, rather than the song/syllable thing.

Agreed. And why does everyone call Milan 'AC Milan'?

I went for Barisic, mainly due to his improved level of performance. Last night he looked back to his (defensive) best. Lundstram and Goldson played well too.

It's like real life. Big wallets get bigger and the lowlifes need to be educated about ethics by our supreme overlords (with the big wallets). Divide and conquer - oldest trick in the book. Still, there's some potential glamour ties in the new year.

2nd in EL group plays a 3rd placed CL group team. Looking at the potential opponents, I'd say it's highly unlikely we'll go any further but you never know (I doubt Barcelona or Dortmund will care much about the EL).

I don't like to get too reliant on individuals because of the league we're in. The job is to ensure we either have good back up players or future signings lined up to replace the likes of Aribo and Kamara. I think there will be bids for Aribo fairly soon and just hope we can hold on to him until the Summer.

Satisfied with a draw. We could have scored more but so could they. Onto Tynecastle...

Terrific lead up play by Kent and Kamara.

I'd be a lot more worried about Sunday if Gerrard was still here. GvB knows what he's doing. Tonight is all about giving Lyon a good game, giving a good account of ourselves and getting some fringe players on the park.

From what I've heard (good source), I don't think Jack will play regularly for us again.

Not a bad side. Good to see Patterson start. I'd have played Morelos and kept Roofe and Kent on the bench.

Matt Busby? 🤮

Agreed, although Sunday is undoubtedly a more important fixture.
