Totally dominated by Hearts.

 

A 1 - 0 defeat was the most we deserved.

Have said that many times inf act Tav is so poor now he needs dropping.

Who would be our new captain then - Goldson?

Talking about Walter Smith, does anyone think those players would have thrown in the towel like that if Walter had been in charge. Sometimes it's less about management and more about leadership. We certainly have no leadership on the pitch and I've a growing realisation that we don't have enough leadership off it, either in the dugout or the boardroom. We seem to be merely treading water.

100% agree

Season over and have yet to spend more money on Euro game so hope we turn up for that and give us hope.

Probably if SG picks as he has been vice-captain but for me McGregor.

We've provided to only two moments of light in an otherwise awful season for Hearts. Fair play to them, they understand how powderpuff we are and they took full advantage both times.

I’m flabbergasted it’s come to this 

 

two days ago I said we should stick with them, at moment I’d wring every one of their fucking necks

Would Walter Smith have picked a starting XI without a recognised striker/ centre forward ?  

And I do think there are questions about the current squad. Some players SG has signed simply aren’t good enough & others don’t fit the system he wants to play.

But we weren't powderpuff on Wednesday, we can't perform consistently, or maybe our players don't fancy putting in the effort for "wee games".

Two players that would have given 100% are on loan in Docherty and Murphy. We are using Ojo and a midfield that looks dreadful while these two excel on loan. We also seem like a rudderless ship without a leader. Nobody want to take control on or off the park. Make no mistake that was one of the worst performances I have ever seen. It was void of everything required in a Rangers player.
