Whats the predictions for tomorrow guys? Anything less than a win by 2 or 3 goals is unacceptable. Wednesday night was a shambles and it got me thinking. when was the last time we hammered a team?

I hear all this talk of people wanting King to give Mark the money to spend but who says he'll use it wisely? I can't see any investment while Mike Ashley and co are around, remember King is a businessman first!

On to Wednesday, I have to wonder what Warburton tells his team at half-time, that's not the first time the squad haven't returned for the 2nd half! we've done the same against Celtic twice this season!

How long before the game do the players and staff arrive? a good few hours, so Warburton or Weir should have seen the state of that pitch and instructed us to clear the ball to safety rather than constantly passing back around the defence/ holding onto the ball in defence putting us under pressure time and time again.

There are several weaknesses in our squad that aren't being addressed properly. Kiernan started to improve his game but has recently slipped back to championship level making foolish and amateur mistakes, Clint Hill is solid and playing well but he is 38, 1v1 against a quick player and he's done.

Tavernier has played decent when played in midfield because he wants to attack, why is he back in defence?! Halliday has been nothing short of atrocious this season and how he is continuously starting is beyond me. He isn't good enough to play professional football in the top flight!

Where is Rossiter? what a disappointing signing he has been, shame because he's a genuinely good player. Subbing Hyndmann off after an hour was a joke, him and Waghorn were the only two players to put a shot on target and they were withdrawn, its laughable really. Kenny Miller being forced to come deep to get a touch of the ball, up front himself isolated he's 37 he just doesn't have the pace and strength like he used to!

Why did we spend 250k on another keeper? He isn't going to remove Wes as number 1 so why didn't he just promote a youth keeper to the bench? 250k that could have been spent on another striker or even a CB.

Defeat tommorow Warburton to be sacked Monday morning.

Im looking for a performance, a response players to go and show they want to wear that strip that's all I've ever asked for! We win will as our great support is an extra man at ibrox but we need passion on the pitch and on the touchline.

You're absolutely spot on there with every point mate, except I'd say you're being harsh on Miller. One of the very few players in the squad who has actually performed this season.

How can MW be trusted with any money in the summer look at the team on Wed only the two new loanes and Hill were brought in after his first transfer window where is Rossiter Dodoo senderos Ohalloran hardly played yet Halliday Tavernier Waghorn have been poor but always play Hodson is a better right back the system does not suit the players look at our goal difference +6 after 23 games it's boring to watch our two best players are closer to 40 than 20 I'm sick of watching this crap for me get two in the box let's go at teams get the fans off their seat when's the last time we battered a team when's the last time Ibrox was rocking

Most frightening thing in the last few days is the clear evidence that MW is completely delusional. Current goal difference is +6 (? ) . Should be closer to +20 if we were performing anything like we should; winning most games and occasionally putting some teams to the sword. I can't remember us giving anyone a hiding this season and am struggling to recall any truly convincing wins. Yet after a complete gubbing from Hearts, a team with 6 new players on the field and 1 win in the previous 6 or 7 games what does the arrogant know it all come up with? A proper apology and a promise to address all the basic short comings that have been so evident for the past 12 months! No not a bit of it. We are told how well we have being playing recently and never better than the second half against Motherwell. It is almost like he is trying to re-write history. Well we do live in the post truth world!
So the real problem for me is if Warburton thinks those recent performances against the likes of Motherwell are good enough he does not understand the requirement, standard or expectation that apply to Rangers. He is aiming way too low. That said any kind of win tomorrow will do but I would like to see the continual defensive errors eradicated, (fof Keirnan), some physicality and fight on the field and some leadership on the field. Let's be honest, Lee Wallace is not the man for the job. The only reason he didn't leave was because his missus wouldn't let him and he didn't have the confidence or possibly bottle to try his luck down south.
We have to finish second, not just for Europe but for pride so let's start being honest about our performances, address the blatant errors, fight for the jersey and drop players that aren't up to it.
Let's see if Warburton can manage a football team, motivate the players, kick some arse and come up with some tactics that can outwit the opposition.
Finally, there has been some reference to some friction between DK and Warburton. I wonder if that started when DK said he had thought we would have been a bit more competitive and more comfortably placed in the league and Warburton replied with, if Celtic had won 4 fewer games and we'd won 1 more the gap would be a lot less. WTF. That is the kind of remark you would expect from a junior office manager not someone sitting in Bill Struth's old seat.

Rant over, fingers crossed for tomorrow, c'mon the Gers!
