Something I thought I'd never see Buffy hugging a rival for his place good to see and genuinely looked happy . good to see Kent also doing better and everyone looking sharper got to keep it going.
15 Sep 2022 07:57:27
Lets not be to disheartened lads, that was a top opposition and I thought 352 was working really well until the sending off. I have to say I thought Morelos played really well and Kent looked the most livliest he has all season. McGregor unbelievable, that's why he's number 1, on the decline my @r53. I really do think having a GK like McGregor helps Goldson, I thought we looked better defensively.
Jack had his best game. God knows what Kamara was playing at, looked disintered. Then sending off and the subs killed us.
The old guard in McGregor Davis and Arfield showed the desire we have been lacking.
The chance Morelos missed in the first 30 seconds I think Colak would have buried it.
Are the new players all to do with wilson and not Gio? Does Gio not rate them? This seems to be a huge issue that we are all concerned about and to be honest needs addressed.
Going forward 352/ 532 I think is a great shout, I think it was EHL that mentioned it. I would go Colak and Morelos with Kent behind them. Of course with McGregor reinstated between the sticks.

I wouldn't read too much into the signings not starting Lawrence is injured, colak was always going to rotate with fredo Tillman is young guy so after couple bad results and change of tactic someone has to sit out.
What I would say is we really need a run of results we can tart it up anyway we like regarding better performance etc but this is results based business.
Read plenty of posts about being out our depth in CL can't compete financially etc I think folk forget who we are!? We were very unlucky not to win the EL a few months back now we've to accept getting humiliated in CL.
Sorry but we should be demanding far more Ibrox should be a fortress . let's see how we fair against Liverpool and Ajax but for us to exit this group without a point as some predict is not going to keep our management team in a job.
2.) 15 Sep 2022 09:00:41
I agree its results based, of course it is, but I do think a little perspective is needed when it comes to results in the champions league. We can't compete financially and its unrealist to expect ibrox to be a fortress against top european champions league teams, that's absurd. If we hadn't reached the quarter or semi final last year nevermind the final no one would have batted an eye lid. We have to read into the signings Jzer, new signings are supposed to improve our starting 11, have they? Colak has brought goals. Is Lawerence, Tillman, davies yilmaz matondo better than what we have already? This is the gripe people have with wilson.
3.) 15 Sep 2022 09:20:25
We are getting in champs league what the rest of the spfl get against us and Celtic can’t compete financially. They still can get results against us from time to time.
4.) 15 Sep 2022 10:33:35
Last week you said Tillman was an upgrade on Aribo as he played for Bayern, Coldo.
Now you are questioning whether he is good enough for Rangers?
Lawrence is definitely an asset to the side.
Matondo has 1 less assist than Kent.
Davies has injuries / personal problems so can’t be judged in a Rangers jersey.
Same with Yilmaz. Can’t get a start as Barisic has upped his game.
5.) 15 Sep 2022 12:58:44
Tillman is an upgrade on Aribo.
6.) 15 Sep 2022 14:25:48
'Tillman is an upgrade on Aribo', ???
I really like Tillman as a player but he has faded badly past few games. And to say he is better than Aribo who was a permanent fixture in the side is worse Fan Boy infatuation patter about Kent???.

1.) 02 Sep 2022 13:36:27
Happy with that! Good strong squad with a great mix of experience and potential. And to think some on here have the audacity to slag off the board.
2.) 02 Sep 2022 13:37:46
Shows perfectly that when everyone is fully fit, the squad is adequately suited to winning the league and giving another good account of ourselves in Europe.
Throw in Gio's tactically ability and all those greeting for multiple new signings yesterday for 'just in case' scenarios are well wide of the mark.
3.) 02 Sep 2022 13:45:26
Davies, Soutter and Helander can't be used on this as nobody really knows when they will be back. Personal issues can last months.
4.) 02 Sep 2022 13:55:42
Davie back in training wiyh the squad.
5.) 02 Sep 2022 13:58:56
That shows we still have problems on the right wing that squad also too many injured. A lot of aging players also in that team that will need changed next year so should have done some this season.
6.) 02 Sep 2022 13:59:22
Tillman and Lawerence can play on the flanks aswell which makes the stronger. Can't understand how people think we are weaker or lack depth or we won't compete. That squad has just qualified for the champions league against a very good PSV side, who knocked out a very good Monaco side. I think we are more than ready to compete.
7.) 02 Sep 2022 14:00:36
Matondo and Sakala not good enough. Lowry
and Hagi long term injuries, Roofe is on another planet, Jack can barely play, Helander and
Souttar both injured, Divine not ready to play first
team. Nowhere near as strong as you make out!
Thats why we were looking for a couple of additions to
the first team. Time will tell who is right.
8.) 02 Sep 2022 14:13:02
Sweep1 why can’t these three players be used, They are Part of the squad or have they been omitted ?♂️.
9.) 02 Sep 2022 14:19:05
Gio said today davies is training with the team again. Seems you don’t follow rangers just slag them on websites.
10.) 02 Sep 2022 14:39:25
When the squad is fully fit? I give up. When is it ever?
Brassica better show up and Kent better escape from right backs pocket. I’ll hold counsel on Sands.
11.) 02 Sep 2022 14:41:01
Must be a hard life being so negative all the time.
12.) 02 Sep 2022 15:07:40
I was in Seville 3 months ago and not one person was negative, fast forward 3 months and we have won the scottish cup, qualified for the champions league, got a stronger team and a lot of folk are negative and miserable?♂️.
13.) 02 Sep 2022 17:04:31
Lawrence and tillman are nowhere near as good on the wing as they are they the middle.
01 Sep 2022 15:16:11
C'mon someone get to a petrol station and let us know what's happening?.
1.) 01 Sep 2022 15:39:57
Been earlier mate, never seen any potential new signings but Morelos was eating a Subway from the Station Services in the car park. Didn't look like a footlong though so perhaps the new diet is going well.
2.) 01 Sep 2022 15:47:55
It's 1.80 a ltr.
3.) 01 Sep 2022 16:02:08
I'm going no where near the petrol station as it's to dear at the moment, duke the train its better on yer pocket.
4.) 01 Sep 2022 16:27:55
Don't believe you fruit bear, you cannot just have 6inches from subway?.
5.) 01 Sep 2022 16:34:13
Saw a guy buying a packet of extra large Monster Munch after filling his tank full, must have been a big earning footballer.
6.) 01 Sep 2022 17:30:48
It would be funnier talking about the petrol station if your handle was Phil McCann not Neil.
01 Sep 2022 09:38:18
I have just read a few posts saying we are weaker this year. We have sold Aribo and replaced with with Tillman who is a better player (hence Bayern's buy back) . We sold Bassey and replaced him with Davies/ Yilmaz, both need a bit of time to integrate granted but both come with a good pedigree. We have also added Lawerence and Colak who are both on fire. I really don't understand how people think we are weaker. We have just qualified for the Champions League, and if you believe the hysteria, then we have qualified with A weaker team this year than our stronger team that got knocked out last year by a poorer team than PSV. Go figure?♂️.
1.) 01 Sep 2022 10:11:41
I know people are entitled to their opinion but I do struggle to understand the argument that we’re weaker. In fact, nobody has created an argument with supporting to show how we’re weaker. This is the strongest position we’ve been in for years. We need to move on some squad players and replace them with better quality but this isn’t easy to do, these guys are squad players for a reason and we’re unlikely to have loads of people wanting to buy them. We’ve had the best transfer window in years and I can’t wait for the season ahead, no doubt we’ll be successful.
2.) 01 Sep 2022 10:26:13
Absolutely spot on!
3.) 01 Sep 2022 10:48:59
Tillman better than aribo, behave man. Nowhere near that level yet.
4.) 01 Sep 2022 11:01:45
I think we are much weaker; we gave a decent 11 to 14 players but a few injuries and we look very average. Surely after watching the tge QOTS game the other night you must surely realise this. The front 3 of Ure, Rabbi and Salaka ain't anywhere near good enough, our midfield replacements of Davis and Arfield wouldn't be able to cope with the demands of 3 games in 7 days and it just looks all pretty bleak. Time will tell though.
5.) 01 Sep 2022 11:12:37
Strange then that Bayern insisted on a buy back clause on Tillman but showed no interest in Aribo ever.
6.) 01 Sep 2022 11:29:54
Sweep it was a cup game. Right before an old firm match and a Champions League group stage match (our first in years and years! ) . Any fan actually reading anything from the QoS game needs their head checked. It's a necessary evil and we won with a much weakened team which afforded us a rare opportunity to rest people. It's not as though Ure or the others will start either of the upcoming games. and they are the priority.
7.) 01 Sep 2022 12:13:38
Do you think we are strong at CB, tillman will not go back to BM, but Arido will move on to better team, up front other than Colak who do we have if Alfie is not fit. Colak, lawrence the only decent signings and even at that not a lot of interest from others. come next season who do we have that will make us money as per club model,
8.) 01 Sep 2022 12:33:18
I think we have a stronger squad than last year when everyone's fit (if that ever happens) but I think the current starting 11 is weaker than last year (mcgregor, bassey, Jack, aribo, morelos or mclaughlin, Sands, Lawrence, tillman, colak, I know what I'd rather have) we are playing with a holding midfielder at centre half, a fit morelos is a better striker than colak, and tillman has loads of potential but definitely not as good as aribo just now, we are also playing our backup goalie from last year as our number 1 this year and still haven't solved our right wing problems so one or 2 pieces of quality wouldn't go amiss today, especially if kamara, who is a huge player for us in the bigger games, less so in run of the mill spl games, gets sold.
04 Oct 2022 16:45:02
Yet you still post DK?
04 Oct 2022 15:09:39
Exactly Bassey. ?.
04 Oct 2022 12:28:41
The chance Buff wasted v Napoli Colak would have buried.
04 Oct 2022 12:26:02
It would be criminal not to start Colak who is in blistering form.
04 Oct 2022 11:39:19
Is this the new excuse for Buff "we are a better team, he bullies defenders and links up play". Last year it was the "new role" patter.
03 Oct 2022 22:17:40
I'm not missing his point. Even when Buff was on fire two year ago we couldn't get close to 20mil. If buff could finish now we couldn't get close to 20mil nevermind 30mil. That's absurd. ?.
03 Oct 2022 21:35:56
Bang on coop, that's why Kent is better in europe. Tore Dortmund and Leipzig to bits.
03 Oct 2022 21:33:14
30mil, no he wouldn't? couldn't even get close to 20mil?.
03 Oct 2022 16:04:18
Two up top worked great against napoli cunny until the sending off, I agree more of the same.
03 Oct 2022 16:02:08
Comedy gold snell??.
