Braga 3 Rangers 1 Kamberi go on prove me wrong Rangers and get through to the last 16 Please!!!

I’ve come to the same conclusion. This season started right - defending from the front - fast, physical, clinical. We seem to have given up on that or at least the players are not effective at it any more.

That’s not the answer, and yes, it would undermine Stevie, Gary Mac, and the rest of the management team. It’s a player ‘expectation’ problem in my view. The thing is they need to do 3 things all of the time: 1. Press high - and give them no time on the ball 2. Win our physically battles - and win every 50/50 ball - don’t get bullied 3. Move the ball forward quicker with one touch moves. I believe when we are doing that we succeed or even when we are playing a team that try doing that to us we struggle. However, it’s not easy to be technically good, physical and slick for 90 mins, but they are capable and get paid well to do it. I don’t blame SG or his team, the tactics are not the problem, I just don’t know if the players can empty the tank every week - be prepared to die in the shirt every week. Take your pick - any player - we’ve put every single one on a pedastal at some point or another only to be disappointed when they cannot live up to our heightened expectations. But, you may argue that we should be able to beat bottom of the league teams without getting into 2nd gear, but it’s simply not true. They will have their days and can pick us off when we’re not at it, it’s the same in any league. These players are still young and learning - and as we cannot buy the finished articles it should be no surprise that we’re where we are. With celtic on such form - we literally need players that can perform at an optimal level almost every week - and that collectively, no more than 2 or 3 are of their game. We’re praising young Hagi right now and chastising young Kent - but it could easily be the opposite in 2 weeks time. I don’t know what the answer is - apart from buying a new spine for the team - proven, experienced players. To do that we would have to sell our highest value assets when presented with the opportunity..... and be patient.

Yes, absolutely, at least no more debates. Although Helander is slow and if caught out of position we get in trouble, but he is better and more composed than Katic 90% of the time.

Odd thing for Joe to say - may be true - but quite pessimistic nonetheless

I agree, I don’t think we’ll miss him on his current form. In fact he should be dropped for Sunday to give Kamberi some match fitness.

Nearly took maximum points....you’ll be glad you didn’t though ?

Rangers 1 Braga 1 Morelos

Great. Let them go 13 points clear, you know, just in case.

Were his remarks, that you didn’t like, about Rangers supporters in general or the minority that bring shame to the club?

Rangers 2 Livingston 1 Morelos

Kilmarnock 0 Rangers 1 Morelos

rangers 2 hibs 1 Morelos

Hearts 1 Rangers 4 Defoe

Rangers 1 St Mirren 0 defoe

Rangers 3 Stranraer 0 fgs Aribo

You’re not wrong. Clancy tried to be the hero today.

Kent for me. Nothing between him, Davis and Borna - the three of them were outstanding, but that lot just bring the best out in Ryan.

Poor display by the referee again, he tried his best for them, thankfully it wasn’t enough. GIRFUY. We are the people!
