Yes, I think pride is a big problem for a lot of Rangers fans. It's been well reported both Dembele and Tierney went for £20m+. At the end of the day we shouldn't care, we sell at the best price we can, he has played a big part in making the club money in Europe. Good luck to him but we need a player this season who can stay fit, disciplined and focused for 38 games and Morelos hasn't been that in any of the 3 seasons we've had him.

I still think he’s our best centre back. Excellent player. -

Hardly. Some basic facts which go some way to explaining our clean sheets. -

Just a few stats to add to this, Rangers have faced 17 shots so far this season, Celtic have faced 19 having played 2 games fewer Rangers' average possession of 66.5% is the highest in the league Rangers' pass accuracy of 87.6% is the highest in the league Doesn't mean anything at this stage of course but some good early signs. -

If he can stay fit I think he could be very good. That was the second time this season we have scored against a very defensive team by Barisic firing a low ball in which only needed to be re-directed by very quick feet. What a way to score a goal, I love it. But I don’t think Morelos would have the light and quick feet required to re-direct those like Roofe did on Saturday. Roofe could actually suit our style of play more than Morelos. I have never been Morelos’s biggest fan though so I’m sure others would have a different take on that. -

A difficult ground to go to. I hope we develop the mentality required to be scoring late winners like this. At times in the past couple of seasons it has been the difference between us and them. We haven’t really seen this since Walter Smith. -

Possession stats and shots on target against in each game so far, Aberdeen - 60% - 0 shots on target St Mirren - 74% - 2 shots on target St Johnstone - 75% - 2 shots on target Livingstone - 79% - 1 shot on target Kilmarnock - 75% - 0 shots on target That is your clean sheets explained right there. Complete domination in possession. We were good at this last season but the early signs are that actually we’ve managed to improve further. -

Very good win, and the lack of any danger whatsoever to our goal is very encouraging. Yes clean sheets are good but sometimes they are jammy. We have barely been threatened at all in 5 games now. Onwards and upwards. -

Tbh it would have been a gamble about 8 months ago. He has been poor so for long it wasn’t much of a gamble. -

Aribo and Barisic for me. -
In seriousness though, it is just the nature of the game of football. People see different things in players. I have been equally surprised by the negativity towards many of our players through the years. To give just one example, I defended and backed Barisic when it seemed 95% of our support wanted him gone after the loss at Rugby Park. Goldson, Tavernier and Jack have been pilloried by sections of support regularly in the last couple of seasons and I have defended them too. Kent is just another player who people see very different things in, albeit I will happily admit that the vast majority clearly rate him very highly, including the Gaffer.

Gutted Aribo is missing games. He has been a really key player.
