cooponthewing 1,139 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Can't wait for next Saturday, close season is brutal, I'm a Rangers junkie, feel like the walls are closing in with no games to look forward too!. Hope we see a few of the new signings, I have a decent seat up the back of the stand so seriously counting the hours till Saturday?

RANGERRAB 3,302 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Motherwell's played 3 or 4 games, we've played 1 So that's bad preparation on our behalf then isn't it? We should have played more pre-season games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,677 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 on the bright side, we won our game whereas 'Well's been scudded big time in all their matchesbut there's no substitute for players having game time together I think as far as the manager is concerned this league cup thing is our pre season matches and when you look at it from that perspective it can't get any better because instead of being a mere friendly it is competitive. The priority for the manager is the league and I don't think any of us would disagree with him on that? A large part of his pre season has been taken up by assembling almost an entire new team and until all these recruits were in place any pre season matches weren't really of much use to him. I think we can still beat Motherwell and even if we don't we will beat the others in the group to qualify for the last 16. If hibs can knock 4 past them we're defintely going to score probably more than once. In some ways this may actually be an ideal situation for his preparation given that these league cup matches have a competitive edge leading up to a match with Burnley who are EPL opposition and when we are likely to see the full first 11 before our opening league game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
