RANGERRAB 3,254 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Whilst none of the teams in this league worry me (yep, said same last year....) anyone who doesn't think this was clearly a carve up needs their head read ! Seriously, we got the relegated team from the SPFL (so the highest team that we could possibly face given league positions at the end of last season), Hibs who finished above us, Queen of the South who finished right below us and our bogey team from last season in our first four games next year..... and we are expected to believe that this was a "random" draw ??? No way was that a random draw !! Remember too that hibz and QOS have been losing players. Hopefully both will be weaker by the time the season starts especially hibz if Scott Allan joins us as I expect he will before the end of august 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be hard pushed as a Tim to hand pick 4 tougher games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 If we can sort things out up front then that will go a long way to deciding how well next season goes.Boyd has gone and quite honestly Miller & clark should join him too. Bring in a couple of top-notch strikers & we'll stroll the championship next season.I know that sounds easy but if we get that part right I genuinely we'll be back up to the top flight easily for the season after next We also have defensive frailties too. In fact, I would argue that some of the striking problems stemmed from the lack of creativity in midfield. All-in, we need root and branch change. We need change from the keeper all the way through to the striker(s). Warburton really does have a task on his hands. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Same old same old from the corrupt SPFL. Everyone knows we don't have a lot of time to get ourselves a squad and be ready for kick-off (self-inflicted of course, not blaming SPFL for that!) and it was an absolute certainty that the fixture list would be weighted towards our "rivals" for the title all being played early in the campaign. So pick our 3 title rivals and add in a trip to Alloa where we struggled on 3 visits last season and there are your first 4 games. I am glad it has worked out this way though, as it gives us a chance to put down a marker to our opponents that this is the real Rangers this season and that they are all fighting for play-off places. I don't think so. The object of the fixtures will be to create as much interest as possible early in the season. We might find it difficult as the new players and coaching staff will require time to bed in but it's a marathon, not a sprint so I'm sure we'll prevail given the resources and a manager who's got a clue. ps. I don't think the draw was random either but I think the reasons are given above. Edited June 20, 2015 by colinstein 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
