compo 6,045 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 it will only take a few bad results before we have fans wanting him out ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 7 goals conceded all season, amazing. The bheasts conceded their 7th almost four months ago when Goldson tapped the ball through Duffy's legs.? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 6,703 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Added to a phenomenal current league record, SGs European record is also worth noting. We have regained respect in Europe and are now a team clubs want to avoid. We will most likely drop a few more points between now and the end of the season, I just hope fans can put any dropped points into perspective. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Its getting sensational. This season alone is a stunning record and almost going under the radar on a few levels. But its been coming, from day 1 you could see what he was building, its all about holding it together for a few years now. In Europe to go from losing in Luxembourg to now being disappointed with drawing with Benfica is a statement. This is a Benfica team who are Champions League Material and Arsenal werent pleased with drawing them next. Only Leverkusen have been a level above and they are a very good team. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,052 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Incredible that he has a higher win percentage than the god that is Walter smith. 6 more wins and hopefully he'll get the first of many trophies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc 2,451 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Comparing periods is very hard. The Rangers sides of the 60s, 70s and early 80s were playing in a league that had some of the best sides in Europe at that time. The calibre of domestic opposition was considerably higher than it is currently. That said, I think this current Rangers side plays the best football I've ever seen a Rangers side play. I never thought I'd see a Rangers team play more pleasing football than the one Advocaat put together in his first couple of seasons, but I now think this current side is even more attractive. Now, that's not say this team is 'better', in fact I doubt it is, that side contained Numan, Porrini, Gio, Albertz, Kanchelskis and of course Barry Ferguson, all exceptional players. Our sides of the late 60s and early 70s reached 2 European finals, winning one, you could argue that was our best ever side, even though they weren't able to win the league. Anyway, Gerrard can only build a side to beat what's in front of him, and he's doing that with some aplomb just now. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think the Advocaat was more consistently exceptional through a game with the ball but there is no doubt this current team at it's best is even better to watch. Advoaat's brillance was a bit short lived and couldn't ultimately handle Oneils cluggers. In the end Eck did better with Advocaats players in a lot of ways. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspard 562 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Since Wilton, over 100 years ago, Gerrard holds the record for the longest time as Rangers manager with no trophy successes. Just saying............ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying............ It is a fair point. Winning games is great but without trophies a bit pointless. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
