T-1000 174 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Gonzo79 said: We capitulated to a shit Hibs side in that final, which is why I don't understand anyone going on about our semi final win. The Hibs side contained McGregor, Hanlon, Gray, McGeough, McGinn, Stokes and Cummings whereas the Rangers side included Kiernan, Wilson, Zelalam, Holt and Miller. The composition of the two teams I would argue does not merit the suggestion that in comparison with the Rangers lineup Hibs were a shit side. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Given that Gerrard has once again in his interview yesterday said "a few more will be coming in", where do we think he's trying to strengthen? The central defender is a certainty, but where else? I think he will want another striker, but if it's a first team challenger, where does that leave us with Morelos? I'd imagine right back is a concern for him too, but again is it just someone to fill in for Tav now and again, or are we predicting late bids for him too? Do we need another player for the advanced playmaker roles? We are already looking a bit top heavy there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if we were playing Hibs, Barcelona or Wick Academy, I think that SC final will stick in the craw of a lot of Rangers supporters for a very long time. Not because we lost but because of the way we lost and capitulation is pretty much the only description that comes to mind. Losing is part of football, what we did that day is unacceptable. A very low point. Edited July 4, 2019 by Bill 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,217 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Yeah .. but that`s past and this is the transfer thread. Hence ... it looks like Ross McCrorie will be loaned to England, Portsmouth and Shrewsbury are mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great game that's why people go on about it. I've no recollection of the 1992 Scottish Cup Final, but I'll remember the semi final for the rest of my life. It's entirely possible to view one match on its own merits, whatever came before or afterwards. Big Konterman's 25 yard screamer at Hampden will stay long in the mind, but I'd need to Google who we met in the Final afterwards. We didn't win the Champion's League but I'll always remember drawing with Marseille as a great match. Drawing with Celtic at Ibrox when Butcher, Woods and McAvennie were sent off is one of my all time favourite matches. We didn't win it and we ultimately lost the league to them that season, doesn't detract from the experience of that match though.

compo 6,073 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I remember when I was young the transfer of Jimmy Greaves to Spurs £99,999 one pound short of one hundred thousand as his new club didn't want to burden him with that price tag , they needn't have worried I've seen very few since who were as lethal as Greaves but I look at today's transfers £40 , £ ,60 , million seems to be the starting price of players most of us would have to Google to see who the heck they are , it's all gone blinking mad , mad I tell you 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,541 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 It was memorable, undoubtedly but ultimately meaningless. Warburton was a one trick pony. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left back still a question, Kilmarnock turned down 500k from Nurnberg for Taylor, at 21 and a Rangers fan you have to wonder if that’s one we could regret in future. We have so many players in the rest of the squad it’s hard to say though. Being honest I think we could probably do with 1 more quality playmaker in the middle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
