Hopefully for Sakala’s next hat trick, Hakainde Hichilema makes it a congratulations video, wearing a Rangers top.

Fantastic weekend. Here’s hoping that could be a turning point in the season. Celtic had won 5 in a row and nobody expected them to drop points without scoring at home to 3rd bottom Livingston. A 6-1 win goes some way to restoring a our fear factor. Delighted to see Arfield getting a run out. We have badly needed a midfielder who can break the lines and contribute in attacking moves. Sure, he is winding down but he is still a player who can offer something different.

Arfield links midfield and attack so well. 

 

I was hoping Lundstram would take over from Arfield, but they're looking to be different players. 

 

Maybe Bacuna, going forward?

Bacuna will never make it at Rangers.

Looking at the stats, Lundstram looked very similar to Arfield so I was expecting the same. I don’t watch the EPL so I hadn’t seen him at Sheffield United but I wonder if he has maybe lost a bit of his mobility in the past 2 years and had to move further back the pitch as a result. 
 

Yes, Bacuna was brought in to play a similar role, I’m sure Gerrard alluded to it. I’m not going to write him off yet because he does have something, although his start has been inauspicious.

Apologies. It was not meant to be a like for like comparison. More a comment on how as fans we are quick to attach opinions on players too quickly (good or bad). I'm as guilty as anyone tbh. My memory was that many fans wanted a permanent deal for Cullibaly based on about 2/3 games. He did look good in spells but judgements should be made over a prolonged spell. I genuinely hope Sakala turns out to be diamond and progresses in his more favoured position.

No apology necessary BSRT. It's all about opinions. I take your point on Cullibaly. I hope your diamond prediction bears fruit. As he says, he's here to learn. I wish him well.
