Is it stick or twist time with the manager? Not convinced we have the cash to change things over the summer. 

Good question.

 

He hasn't really stopped the rot.

 

He is now in an uncomfortable position where a bad defeat against Celtic will put him under a lot of pressure.

 

He needs to survive the season and find a way to deal with the weak points in the squad.

Stop the rot? He's caused it.

Oh and to those Rangers "fans" who threw bottles onto the pitch, do us all a favour and fcuk off and don't come back.

The management team took over with us 4points clear at the top, we have thrown it away since then. If the scum win a treble this season, and we don't win the Europa league, Gio and his team must go. Simple as that. 

Demanding a Europa league win is just silly.

 

Why worry about a treble?

 

The domestic cups are nice to win but utterly meaningless.

No, go back and watch some of our early season matches.

 

Think you will particularly enjoy Hibernian at Hampden.

Under SG we were undefeated against Celtic for 2 years and prior to that, had defeated them at Parkhead and played them off the pitch at Hampden. 

 

Under SG we had a style of play, the players knew their jobs and knew what was expected of them. We had Beale and Calshaw who is take back tomorrow. 

 

Under SG we were 6 points clear of Celtic and had beaten then at Ibrox with a Covid ravaged squad. 

 

Under Gio, we've surrendered that lead, lost twice to Celtic (one an absolute hammering, one a whimper of a performance).

 

We've regressed alarmingly since Gio has taken over, the league and the performances atest to that. 

 

Board have a huge decision - either back Gio significantly if they believe he is their man, or remove him. Backing him with words is pointless. 

So Bill is right, they won't remove Gio, so need to back him. Then let's see whether Ross Wilson can fund a significant rebuild with some player sales.

1. We have no plan B when Morelos is not playing, manager seems incapable of coming up with something different. Roofe is entirely different player.

 

This is why the rest of the season looks so bleak.

 

You have to wonder why we don't have a similar style of backup.

The game at Hampden saw us "coached" by a guy who couldn't beat Bo'ness United a couple weeks previously. 

 

Where were we in the league "early season" or when we faced Hibs at Hampden? 

 

Weren't playing well but were winning and were clear at top of league. 

 

Our decline started after Gio took over and looks likely to continue. We'll finish 10-12 points behind.
