It’s funny, he couldn’t get a game for PAOK who are probably a good step down from us in terms of quality.

 

He just seems to be a great fit for us. The way we play 90% of our games we need a guy like him in the team.

easy to say in hindsight but he should have played at Anfield. Hopefully we will see sim on Wednesday

I was not impressed when we signed him, but I'm happy to be wrong. A proper finisher.

I think I read Colak had a family bereavement during his time in Thessaloniki, so maybe he just had a hard time over there.  He wasn't a regular starter.

I was going to say he has been a breath of fresh air  but maybe not the right phrase  

[Gonzo79 13,701]

He's doing a great job and seems to be enjoying Rangers - that's what it's all about.

Rangers and Croatian strikers work Prso Jelavic and Colak

Wonder if the Admins would like to introduce these on the forum, or Rangers at games? 😁

[Gonzo79 13,701]

If Rangers did that at Ibrox, we wouldn't have to wait until 75 minutes (as per usual) to see thousands of empty seats.  

 

Admin do give warnings on here.

Early goal made all the difference and it helps to have a centre forward whose expertise lys in finishing.

 

Second league game in a row where Colak has fed the ball to the left and then run into a goalscoring position. Yesterday both touches were slightly fortuitous but if you don't buy a ticket, you don't win a prize.

 

Three consecutive league wins now. Another would make it the first time we have reached four in 2022. We need to start doing 7,8,9.

 

Sixth 4-0 result this season, 4 of them in our favour.

Very few draws.

Two for us, Hibs & PSV.

Only 6 in the Scottish top tier,

WBA have drawn more games.

 

Colak has made a big difference. He deserves to be given a start against Liverpool.

We need to show more ambition to win the game. It is effectively a free hit. Another damage limitation exercise with the inevitable result won't be acceptable.

I want to see Goalak play and I would love to see us getting a win against a Goliath team like Liverpool. But as you pointed out earlier in your comment we have lost 4 - 0 a couple of times already this season, and Gio is not being shown much patience by a large percentage of the Bears. Perhaps he would feel more free to hit if he was given more support instead of being battered with doom.
