match thread (image) [FT] Rangers 3 (Roofe 73, 90+4; Itten 82) - 1 Motherwell

Excellent win, and deserved, some fans need to calm down and get behind the team more often, especially games like this, it is very difficult to play against teams who have no interest in playing football.

Bottle? any fan who threw this at the team after Wednesday needs to have a good hard look at themselves!.

Could be 19 points ahead by 8pm Wednesday @Rousseau - I'll take that kinda stress  

NO BAD JUJU! PLEASE!

 

I can't take it...

A huge amount of credit to the team and coaching staff today. That was tough, tough going but the belief was evident throughout that we'd see it out. You want to discuss mentality; there's your answer.

 

Motherwell simply couldn't survive that onslaught and I'm delighted we done the business. As we said at half-time, Aribo and Hagi made the difference in terms of making space for others.  

 

Now onto an even tougher game in midweek.

Jeez. 

 

I couldn't see the game so I was glancing every two seconds at SSN. 

 

That was a stressful afternoon.

 

Any win will do, for me.

You missed the 5 - 5 - 0 formation in action for 80 minutes.

the main thing is another win in the league and three more points in the bag

Actually as a tactic geek you'll love the second half in particular.

I saw the last 10 minutes of the first half and almost all of the second half. I thought we were pedestrian in the first half but actually very good in the second. It is so hard to break down a team playing like that and our intensity was excellent, and credit to management who made the right changes at the right time and won the game. I’m delighted for Itten to get that goal too, that has to be a huge boost for him. He deserves a lot of credit.
