I just want to single out Josh Windass for praise. He is in fine form and his goals have been the reason we have picked up points recently, especially given the fact he has scored at both Easter Road and Pittodrie.

Looks like we might have a striking partner for Morelos.

I’ve been praising him all season for his performances vs last season and some gave me pelters on here.

He’s never a winger in his life, supporting striker/ CF all day. He’s racking the goals up now.

Good result and we’ll take it given our lack of luck in some games this season but the reality is we are papering over the cracks and we need better quality and belief from our team if we are to secure a challenge for second never mind Celtic

You need luck sometimes MOLS. And we’ve had he has this season. As far as I’m concerned that’s us even vs Hibs for the shambles of a refereeing display at Ibrox.

It was a hard fought win. Luck played it’s part but even the best teams get their lucky breaks. Try and enjoy the win eh.

MOLS I for one will take papering over the cracks if it means 3 points players deserve credit tonight for battle

Hi,

This is my first post and I was interested in gathering people's thoughts on a suggestion for the next manager at our club:

The board made a suggestion that nobody out of work is suitable to the job, but I seem to disagree.
There are a few managers that I think would be a success wearing the navy suit, brown brogues and club tie.

The popular choice being Frank De Boer. But I'd also like to make a case for Martin Jol.

He has been out of work for the last 18 months, where he left Egyptian side Al Ahly as league champions.
Possibly the fact his last post was in Egypt is the reason that he has been forgotten, and not discussed when managerial posts become vacant.

Jol is well known for his successful spells at Spurs and Fulham. Finishing his two full seasons with spurs in 5th place, and finishing his two seasons at Fulham in 9th and 12th place.

Jol has two Dutch Cup successes to his name but unfortunately not the Eredivise title. He finished one point behind FC Twente in his closest attempt. In that same season Ajax won 14 consecutive games at the end of the season, and posted a record goal difference in Dutch football, double the goal difference of the next best team's. This shows a manager with the tactical nous to open up teams to score goals, but be defensively tough to score against.

I also think he is a realistic appointment and affordable.

If we are looking for managers who have a proven success at winning trophies we have to define that success. Managers who have won recognisable leagues such as top European leagues are likely to be out of our budget. Caixinha had a proven record of delivering trophies but he was doing this at a level lesser than or club demands. And if he had been winning trophies and leagues in a decent European league (i. e. Portugal, Netherlands, even English championship) he may have demanded too high a salary.
Martin Jol has delivered a high level of success with regards to his managed club's expectations. This might not be trophies but success is success.

I'd like to think he should be contacted by our club as a potential candidate, so we can assess. And maybe one day he can proudly wear the navy suit, brown brogues and club tie.

I also think we should open talks with Frank De Boer, and maybe also Cristoph Daum (another not mentioned by the media) . A conversation will at least determine if these three individuals are right for the job and if they are interested. In my opinion, all three of these managers have a better trophy success and CV than Derek McInnes.

What are your thoughts?

welcome to the board mate. Actually think that is a good shout that would be worth exploring. Be prepared for the "he doesnae bleed blue" comments haha


2.) 10 Dec 2017 11:44:37
I struggle to think of anyone who bleeds blue that will be a good appointment. Derek McInnes was the best of that lot and he still divided opinion.

Obviously we can all dream of a Walter Smith era again but we have just been fortunate that a manager of his quality is one of us. I think he deserves his right to retirement for the service he has given us. But would be delighted if he fancies one last gig.

All the other supposed "bleed blue" options like GVB are only adopted to the family, not born into it, so anyone new can be adopted into the family and become a Ranger in time

Stuart McCall

Yip martin jol would be a good shout. Forget de boer, couldn't hack it at inter or palace.


5.) 10 Dec 2017 16:58:04
I know from a family member, he would love to come to Rangers - he is not wholly driven by money either, I am told.


6.) 10 Dec 2017 17:05:49
Stuart McCall had 2 games against motherwell to get job. Didn't manage it. Martin Jol not sure but thought board said British manager. I think we will end up with big Eck.

Would love Gio but doubt will happen.

Anyway will be backing whoever comes in whenever that might be.

Safe hands with Graeme Murty I feel.


7.) 10 Dec 2017 20:01:32
McCall may prove to be the right man but I wouldn't gamble on him now. Let's see what kind of manager he evolves into, and see what kind of job he does at Bradford.

We need a manager who has several successful years and McCall hasn't achieved that yet for me. But maybe one for a future opportunity.

Great result, first half was scintillating stuff.

The keeper was right to stay on. The rules have changed to avoid double jeopardy. It's only a sending off if you make no attempt to play the ball and the keeper came out clearly trying to block his goal, that's why Morelos touch was to go wide of him then score before being fouled.

The kick out at Bates could easily have been a sending off.

Also, I've no idea why the boy didn't get booked for the foul on Murphy. We are adding to or injury list because our players get very little protection from refs.

Grudgingly, I agree with this. We have a squad designed to make players fight for the jersey. In my opinion Martin lost his for his last performance. Either bring in Cardoso or Alves (whoever has earned it through training)

I reckon Hearts will definitely play at Ibrox again after the split. Mainly because the league will show it as their own fault because of their stadium not being ready.

It'd be Morelos for me. His goals and taking passes from our defence (allowing us to move through the lines when midfielders are marked) have completely changed our game for the better.

There is development in him yet. To write him off at 20 would be absurd.

If Spurs had did the same they would never have the free scoring Harry Kane playing for them now.
He was 20 before really breaking into the team, only a few odd appearances before (similar to Hardie) .
He doesn't have a great record from his loan spells. Also, previous managers had not deemed him good enough yet.

So give the lad a chance. I think there might still be a player there. And if it didn't work out to be, then it's not been a costly exercise to find out
