I went for Lundstram but Sterling, Sima and Tav were all in with a shout.

 

Special mention also to Barisic because his good play on the left really made that goal.

IMO there were several players who had moments of significance, none more so than our Captain. For the rest Lundstram, Sima, Dessers, Goldson and Cantwell come to mind but I thought two players stood out for their consistent contribution throughout the match - Balogun and Sterling. I thought they were both magnificent from start to finish.

 

Leon Balogun in particular epitomised the new spirit running through the team. I can't remember him losing an aerial duel or being out of position when defending. He made forward runs and his passing was simple and effective. Although he didn't score, he had several attempts on goal with both head and feet and at times it seemed he was everywhere. He returned to the club with howls of disappointment ringing in his ears from fans convinced it was a backward step for Rangers .... turns out it was one of the few things Beale got right. Given his age he won't be here for long but he's now a clear first choice in central defence and embodies everything about the positivity and determination I want to see from a Rangers player in that position.

Sterling was great out of position but Abdallah was just everywhere.

 

That tackle he made late in the game on Duck, covering Borna's ass, sealed it for me. 

 

It's gonna hurt to give that toy back to the rich folks down in England at season end.

Most of those I thought were in contention have already been mentioned above by other posters. 

 

For me, it is between Sterling or Tav - I voted Tav simply because of the winning goal and seeing him lift the trophy.

He wants to stay! So...let's make it happen. We will surely recoup what we have to outlay.

It never hurts nearly as much as some imagine. Every player we lose leaves a hole in the squad, some a very small hole, others a seemingly massive hole, but without exception the club moves on and the next chapter is written without them. Morelos was going to be irreplaceable, Tillman leaving was going to be a disaster but somehow here we are without them.

I think BHA paid like 8M for him in '21?

 

Don't quote me on that but I saw or read something. 

 

He has to be worth at least double that now. 

 

Factoring his current form, age, and the English market.

 

I don't think we can swing it. 

 

They wouldn't...I wouldn't open the door for anything under 15M.

Can't just be me who's reading into his tweet a bit more than I should...

 

'look forward to more'

 

I think there's been discussions!

I think if we're honest we know that Sima wanting to stay or not will have little to do with what actually happens at the end of this season. It's basically a meat market and there are big £numbers at stake.
