I hope Gio sticks Alfredo up front, Colak is a good goal scorer but he doesn't have the qualities that Alfredo brings. Won't be a game where we create many chances but what we do need is for the ball to stick up top long enough for our midfield to engage. Truthfully all eleven need to be on it from the get go, fully focussed at all times, Liverpool are not at their sparkling best at the moment but we all know that they are a super team. Delighted to see the Gers involved in these sort of games.
1.) 04 Oct 2022 04:26:12
A lot of people are disagreeing with this, but this is exactly what i think too.
2.) 04 Oct 2022 08:47:10
Absolute nonsense. Colak is scoring goals while Morelos sits on the bench. Right now, Colak is by far the better option and must start up front against Liverpool if we are to have any chance.
3.) 04 Oct 2022 09:21:01
Dothebouncy maybe scoring goals but we are far better team with Morelos in it, we will see who gvb plays tonight I just hope he starts Morelos.
4.) 04 Oct 2022 09:51:55
I see where your coming from but but I look back to the Napoli game and I think if Colak is on the end of that cross 30 seconds in its 1-0 rangers. Morelos offers more but not as clinical. You said yourself we won’t get many chances so when we do we need to bury them.
5.) 04 Oct 2022 10:16:14
How are we a better team with Morelos in it? Because he comes deep and messes up easy passes lol.
6.) 04 Oct 2022 10:31:48
Kris Boyd used to batter in goals in the league but due to lack of hold up play, willingness to fight for things, running and mobility he never really featured in Europe. Colak would not give us the same hold up as Morelos who will create whereas colak relies on service. We can't afford the luxury of fielding someone who waits for the play to come to him as Liverpool are far stronger than us or spfl teams. William hill have us 18/ 1 and I seriously think we can get a win but we will need a team selected that will take part in the full game.
7.) 04 Oct 2022 10:46:20
I'm of the thinking that this game probably will suit morelos more than colak ? Having said that colak only needs that one chance and it will be in the back of the net ?He very rarely misses on one on ones ?.
8.) 04 Oct 2022 10:50:11
Bassey1 my opinion we are a far better team with Morelos in it also feel gvb feels the same.
9.) 04 Oct 2022 11:18:36
How can we be a far better team with buff but score far fewer, if any, goals?
10.) 04 Oct 2022 11:29:08
You just don't get how a team works coldo.
11.) 04 Oct 2022 11:35:07
Of course I do GVB that's why I told you Colak is our number 1 striker.
12.) 04 Oct 2022 11:35:50
Colak is miles ahead when it comes to composure in front of goal. But he lacks the ability Morelos has to bully defenders and link up play.
13.) 04 Oct 2022 11:35:56
If Gvb feels the same gvb then why does Colak start?
14.) 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.
15.) 04 Oct 2022 11:46:19
Alfredo starts this game all day long. They are both different strikers this game won’t suit colak. IMO.
16.) 04 Oct 2022 11:56:20
Gvb is the man how did you come to the conclusion that gio prefers freddo to colak?
17.) 04 Oct 2022 12:03:04
Coldo we will see who gvb goes with tonight okay.
18.) 04 Oct 2022 12:08:56
When expecting to have the majority of the ball and play most of the game in the other teams half Colak is an excellent option, he's proved it domestically and against lesser teams in Qualification.
But that's not the game we're likely to be playing tonight.
Its far more likely that Liverpool will have most of the ball and that we will be playing on the break. We don't need a striker who can score goals inside the 18 yard box as much as we need a striker who can occupy 2 CB's and get us up the park as the first phase of breakouts.
Morelos is much better than Colak at that. Colak is actually pretty poor at it (it's not his game) .
That's why Morelos will (or at least should) start.
Its a catch 22 with Colak. He needs the ball in the box to be effective but to get the ball in the box based on the type of game it will be he's shown against better teams he's not that striker. So having him in there means we're less likely to get the ball to where it needs to be for him to be effective.
19.) 04 Oct 2022 12:10:03
I don't think it'll matter given th3 opposition we are up against. I think we will be doing well to keep it respectable.
20.) 04 Oct 2022 12:11:19
If gvb feels the same why doesn’t he play Alfie? You can’t compare kriss boyd to colak as colak is twice as fast and much more mobile.
21.) 04 Oct 2022 12:12:56
A would give Colak 60 mins then bring Alfie on.
22.) 04 Oct 2022 12:23:58
He plays in all the big games and so he should bassey1.
23.) 04 Oct 2022 12:26:02
It would be criminal not to start Colak who is in blistering form.
24.) 04 Oct 2022 12:28:41
The chance Buff wasted v Napoli Colak would have buried.
25.) 04 Oct 2022 12:50:33
Colak ( who I rate ) missed similar headers against Ajax and Celtic.
Though I do believe he would have connected with the other Morelos chance before half time against Napoli.
26.) 04 Oct 2022 12:52:34
We need this to become and old fashioned cup tie with all blood and thunder and a lack of real quality football as they will just run amok. Morelos probably more suited to a battle but we need the defence and midfielders to win their battles first and foremost.
27.) 04 Oct 2022 13:12:06
Let’s face it, if Morelos scored a Garrick in our next 5 games he would still not get the credit from the guru Coldo.
Same sh** different day has already seen one of the best contributors leave the site - many more to follow.
28.) 04 Oct 2022 14:47:09
People need to man up if they are leaving a site because someone doesn’t agree with them. Morelos is strong as a ox but is sometimes wasteful and goes is huffs. Colak not as strong obviously but is as clinical a striker rangers have had in years. Both good options.
29.) 04 Oct 2022 15:09:39
Exactly Bassey. ?.
30.) 04 Oct 2022 15:24:51
Morelos is yet to prove his fitness. Would be criminal not to start with Colak who is our best player atm. He will work his socks off first 60mins, then bring the Buff on.
31.) 04 Oct 2022 15:42:10
Isn't it great to have 2 such capable and differing options!
32.) 04 Oct 2022 16:10:36
Interesting comment Bassey?
Man up is what is missing - the conversation is more and more like a school playground with constant bickering, bleating, repetitive opinions and filled with fifa managers who do nothing but run the club down after any poor performance.
Those that enjoy this type of support will stay, others wont.
33.) 04 Oct 2022 16:45:02
Yet you still post DK?
34.) 04 Oct 2022 17:05:39
It's the condescending replies, again, the same people leaving everyone without an opinion. honestly getting really boring listening to the same people shutting everyone down, is this not the reason you got hunted the last time coldo? full of cheek on this.
35.) 04 Oct 2022 17:13:44
Very rarely now Coldo
What was for me an excellent site for Rangers supporters has been turned into a shadow of what it was.
I’m happy to let you run down everything Rangers (apart from Kent) and have your fun.
Enjoy.
36.) 04 Oct 2022 17:21:31
Montyi agree good chance colak scores but also think we would struggle to get up the pitch with colak he's a pure penalty box player kinda the same problem we had with Kris boyd in Europe both great finishers but didn't bring enough to the team play and pressing ability.
Got to be Morelos and then maybe colak depending how game going at home colak could get the nod but away from home it's Morelos for me.
He will also be eager to impress premier League teams.
37.) 04 Oct 2022 18:15:39
Don’t see how Morelos plays in the big games he’s barley started a game all season lol a never ran the team down after any defeats so speak for yourself mate.
38.) 04 Oct 2022 18:16:34
Colak got us to the cl same way he dumped us out it with malmo stop comparing him to boyd.
39.) 04 Oct 2022 18:25:34
He was only back in the squad a few days and started against Napoli did he not bassey1.
40.) 04 Oct 2022 18:28:59
we need someone to keep us high up the pitch tonight, morelos can hold up play and move ball around, this isn't in Colak's game, that's why he had 2 touches on saturday resulting in 2 goals, we aren't going to get this opportunity against Liverpool, we need to try nd get our midfield involved, and for me that is obviously with Morelos. I seen someone saying that Colak wouldve finished the shot Morelos had against Napoli, but the facts are he wouldn't have been in the situation, I think if you could take both there best attributes to make a player, he would be world class.
41.) 04 Oct 2022 18:47:07
And also bearing in mind either of them will be up against one of the best defenders in European football. IF we get chances we just need to hope whoever plays up front puts them away otherwise I feel its going to be a difficult night.
42.) 04 Oct 2022 19:37:35
Morelos starts so that should shut up certain folk on here who think they know everything.
43.) 04 Oct 2022 23:03:32
Colak got a chance tonight he didn’t score it.
44.) 04 Oct 2022 23:20:02
At least got into the position to get a chance. Put saksla thru eith a lovely pass as well. Our front 3 much better with matondo colak sakala, not even a doubt about it.
45.) 05 Oct 2022 00:29:52
That is because both Kent and Tillman were a disgrace.
46.) 05 Oct 2022 02:33:14
And Liverpool were a different team the second half.
47.) 05 Oct 2022 07:08:05
Bassey I don't see what's wrong with comparing Boyd to colak in team game sense
Was not comparing ability.
Also think your doing boyd bit of an injustice if you don't think he was good for us.
48.) 05 Oct 2022 08:56:08
In my opinion, the decision to start Morelos cost us dear.
49.) 05 Oct 2022 09:16:19
Boys was great for us.
50.) 05 Oct 2022 11:29:20
Boyd that was meant to say.
51.) 05 Oct 2022 14:17:23
I agree gvb he averaged something like 2 goals in every 3 games.
52.) 09 Oct 2022 13:04:04
GVB is an ex champions league winner who has played for the best team in world and captained them as well as his country in a World Cup final. He’s won the league in Holland with a feyenorod team who didn’t have the players or finances to match PSV or Ajax. He’s won a cup In Holland too. He’s learned from pep guardiola from his time at city and writing his plate it career has played under Advocaat, Wenger, Rijkaard, and Van Gaal.
For anyone to say GVB does not know the best way to set up a team to win or to be tactically aware of how to win a game is simply another “arm chair expert”.
The board are not giving him the money to purchase a higher level of player. So he’s working with a squad that is not up to CL level but I believe he still over achieves with them.
He’s made great signings. Lawrence on a free is the best.
We can now see Davies is going to be a good acquisition and we are seeing Ridvan starting to develop too.
3-4 million for a player these days is bottom of the barrel and that’s where he’s been forced to shop. And out of that I think he’s done really well.
Then add Colak. What more so we want?
He’s got players letting him down for sure. Kent and kamara don’t seem interested but I’m sure Gio knows what he’s dealing with and maybe he’s got to be patient to help either of them find their form again.
He’s playing youth - King, McCann, Devine and Lowry when fit. We’ve been crying out for that.
The league is totally winnable.
Let’s just pocket the finances from the CL and learn from it. The players will benefit from the experience.
Win the league. Get back in the CL. Get the money.
If we can keep that routine up our squad will slowly improve and whether the club is sold or not we will definitely be competing a lot more in Europe in a few years.
But people expect it now and that’s very unreasonable and unrealistic.
He wins the league this year and he’s been a huge success since coming in. Euro final. Scottish. Cup. League. In 2 seasons. On a restrictive budget. Give the guy a break.
53.) 09 Oct 2022 17:14:56
Good post King Henry. What I would say is that we need to see a significant improvement in our Scouting. We will never be able to compete financially for proven players and as such we need to be capable of finding players that can come in and do a job from leagues in Eastern Europe, the Far East and Africa.

Really looking forward to the new season, this season was one of the biggest disappointments ever. Old faces moved on or retired fresh injection of pace and skill. Some of the linked names are wishful thinking but I'm sure we will be a totally different animal next year. Just won the monthly medal not bad for a 64 year old ? always believe the best times have still to come onwards and upwards.

Well done Willie must be a struggle with only wan fit ?.
09 May 2023 15:12:19
Does anyone have any concerns about the style of football we play under MB.
Not sure I see a dramatic change from GVB
Maybe once he has a full pre season with the new squad we will see a significant change.
We still seemed to do things very slowly, our reactions to danger developing was also a concern.
Big few months for Michael, player recruitment and style of play must be significantly better than the last 6 months or else the vultures will start circling.
1.) 09 May 2023 15:39:25
The changes for me are blatant. However he's stated many times he's not going to be able to implement his preferred style of play until he gets to the summer.
2.) 09 May 2023 15:40:13
the football is terrible and has been for 3 years.
3.) 09 May 2023 15:45:38
Yes the football is boring and dire to watch.
4.) 09 May 2023 15:52:24
It’s hard to change tactics when the personnel remains the same. I think Beale has been forced to make tactics to fit the players rather than get players to fit his tactics. I wish we played with more width and had wingers who actually want to go and beat a man. We’re so indirect it’s unbelievable and when the whole front 3 are playing narrow and with another 3 midfielders behind them it just sucks up all the space and makes it easy to play against.
5.) 09 May 2023 16:00:02
I don’t have concerns about Beales style of play, I have concerns about the players. Need better quality and motivated players and the style will be better as a result.
6.) 09 May 2023 16:07:46
The football is really bad and has been for while now do I expect this to change after summer no will be surprised if it does.
We are going go with same defence next season so will be same old mistakes defence needs ripped up and changed completely.
7.) 09 May 2023 16:25:19
Yes there hasn’t been any change from the majority of games we have played apart from hearts and Hibs away it’s been slow ponderous and boring.
8.) 09 May 2023 16:27:08
With the exception of the Hearts and hibs games, our football has been very poor, so far under MB.
9.) 09 May 2023 16:49:54
KSB, the football has been terrible for 3 years? During which time we won a league, had brilliant results in Europe culminating in a European final just under a year ago and won a Scottish cup. Ok so we all know this season has been a car crash bit but much just saying it’s been terrible for 3 years. It also has to be considered that sometimes watching our games in the spfl is dull / boring due to 10 of the other 11 opponents sitting with 11 men in their own box not wanting to play football. No real coincidence that some of our best performances this year (away to hearts and Hibs spring to mind) occurred when the opposition actually tried to come out and play against us. Sometimes our build up looks slow because the opposition don’t even engage until we are 10 yards away from their box, so we end up moving the ball around the other (empty) 70% of the pitch trying to move their defence and looking for an opportunity to create space.
10.) 09 May 2023 17:34:07
Gonna be hard to judge until has own team but if the reaction to the thousand pass goal the other week is anything to go by its going to be same slow pass backwards football.
11.) 09 May 2023 17:46:39
I thought Saturdays game took boredom to a new level it’s a slow build up pass pass pass with nothing to show for it, the he skates Morelos I agree he’s been poor all season but there is a few in that team need to look in the mirror, I hope he gets the backing for this transfer window because he is going to need it.
12.) 09 May 2023 18:44:38
Our play is ponderous but I hope the changes he makes will show big improvements because imo zMB has to be within 3 points of celtic by Jan 24 or will be out of a job.
13.) 09 May 2023 18:56:52
Absolutely.
We seen an uplift in the general morale/ attitude of the team when he arrived - however we seem to be completely flat again.
In terms of style of play, I'm not a fan of our new system.
Additionally, I've been concerned that we've not seen any real improvement in players 'individually', concerned by his substitutions and concerned by his interviews.
Lol, other than that it's all rosey.
14.) 09 May 2023 19:52:13
How do you know the defence is going to be the same? Our fans love to make assumptions before the window has even open its boring now.
15.) 09 May 2023 19:54:18
Our biggest issue for some time is we have too many players in forward areas that are happy to just stand still. I understand we have low block against us but tbh we just look very lazy and that could stem back to pre season which most know was poor!
I for one will let MB get his team and pre season before making any judgements.
16.) 09 May 2023 20:41:53
Doesn't take a genius to work out most of our defenders will still be there next year so same players will make mistakes and keep costing us games plain and simple.
A guess we will find out soon enough what happens when season kicks off again.
17.) 09 May 2023 23:25:14
Dreadful to so slow and boring. can't blame other teams sitting in, it up to MB to come up with tactics to over come this but I doubt he has this ability, if we are to delieve he was brains behind SG things are not going to change anytime soon.
18.) 09 May 2023 23:54:17
Not sure it’s the overall style of play that’s the issue. There was a stat mentioned in the commentary during the cup semi final that was very enlightening. Since Ange has come in at Celtic, overall between the two teams Rangers have had more shots, more crosses into the box and more touches in the oppositions boxes than Celtic have, yet they have outscored us by far.
It’s the clinical nature of their front 3 in particular that’s the big difference, and the non clinical nature of ours, hence why Beale probably stated he’d never known a team to be as wasteful in front of goals as us at the weekend. We create chances, just don’t take them.
When you look at the stats of our forwards, it’s not great reading. Top goal scorer in fact is Tav, however of our forwards it’s - Colak 13, Morelos 12, Tillman 10, Sakala 8. (Kent by the way is 3, with an overall conversation rate of 6%! Which is just embarrassing). Hopefully next season, with what is likely to be a completely new front 3 in most games, that will improve. Time will tell.
07 May 2023 11:17:55
Five games left and to be honest i'm not in the slightest bit interested on how they go or how we perform. I know this squad of players are not going to take us to where we want to be so I hope MB is ready to gut this lot, such a flat season with no highlight, probably the hearts away match was the pick. Finding it tough to be upbeat after such a deflating campaign. Maybe next season eh.
1.) 07 May 2023 11:36:20
The only highlights for me was the comeback against union and the win over psv to qqual8fy for the CL.
2.) 07 May 2023 11:40:50
I always want rangers to win and i'm always interested ?.
3.) 07 May 2023 12:08:49
Season highlight was PSV in Holland. That's it. That's all we've had to celebrate this season. It was a biggie, but otherwise, it's been a deeply negative season close to the Banter Years.
4.) 07 May 2023 12:25:09
I want us to still get 5 victories before the end of this season and end on a positive note.
02 May 2023 15:21:51
The season is effectively over for us.
All we can do now is shuffle the group to allow those that are here next season some game time. It's time to forget this awful campaign and focus on better times ahead. MB is not stupid he saw on Sunday just how important this summer's recruiting is going to be. I think we could see 6/ 7 new players arriving and possibly a couple more than that departing.
Bids for anyone in this squad must be accepted only Cantwell and Raskin are safe.
Big season ahead for the manager the fans will not accept any excuses they are sick to the back teeth watching treble after treble going east. I'm optimistic that we will get it right.
1.) 02 May 2023 16:40:52
It's also a big season for the Board. The support given to Beale needs to be significant. No more third rate signings like we have been seeing. Wilson has gone so no more excuses that he was the one controlling who came in. It's up to Beale to list the players he wants and for the board to do what is necessary to secure them.
01 May 2023 16:02:45
As the dust settles on a really disappointing season, we must use the remaining games to freshen things up. Those that won't be here next year should not feature. When we won 55 we should have used that as a springboard sadly we slept at the wheel. Whoever we sign if they are a success and someone makes an offer it must seriously be considered we need to accept this is the only way we can generate funds. We need to get used to this model. Buying players for the sums we have is always hit and miss, they've made a couple of good buys but that won't always be the way.
I look forward to next season it should be a much changed squad, there's no way it could be as bad as this season. This time last year I was looking forward to packing my bags and heading to Seville what a shocking 12 months.
1.) 01 May 2023 20:14:01
Very disappointing season indeed but you’re right. We’ve gone so stale and haven’t managed the squad correctly since we won the league.
06 May 2023 14:20:51
Jack and Arfield should be moved on, this sentimental nonsense really grates.
We were absolutely rotten this season no one should be safe especially two players that are way past their best. We shouldn’t be keeping players because they used to be good it’s time for ruthless management. If Michael Beale fails to carry out the purge required he will be looking for a new job before Christmas.
09 Apr 2023 19:55:17
No one hates Tillman, what a silly thing to say.
Plenty of fans just question if 5m is too much for someone that hasn’t stood up against our nearest rivals.
No one can deny in 4 games he has been anonymous against them.
I hope we don’t sign him.
07 Nov 2022 19:30:39
He gets the information most of us don’t, simply because of the people he knows in the game. Your right but he is a presenter.
17 Jul 2023 13:32:01
Man Utd have quite a lot of ground to make up on both City and Arsenal.
I expect better performances from Chelsea, Liverpool and spurs so if they finish in the top four that will be a start . I’m also a fan of united and I must admit I thought they would pull out all the stops to get Kane might still happen
Don’t think they have sufficient depth of talent to win the league.
16 Jul 2023 21:31:43
Ricky is struggling to come up with anything meaningful so goes for the old panic signing routine.
16 Jul 2023 21:29:27
He loves the club that should not be the yardstick for signing players cannot stand that sentimental view of our football team. Kemar Roofe has never been fit for an extended period of time look at his history no one doubts he has ability, if someone enquires about him get him sold. I think we have signed some interesting footballers fingers crossed they go on to be superstars we could really do with a bit of success, looking forward to the upcoming friendliest to have a wee look at what we’ve got.
15 Jul 2023 18:13:24
He’s only the better backup if he’s fit that’s the problem.
15 Jul 2023 18:09:27
The two sitters against them were too much to take, the guy is very likeable but will always miss too many chances so for me take the money and sign Danilo.
