We've spent a lot of money to finish second with the same points as we had last season.
We've been crying out for a creative player and a goal threat other than Morelos all season. Those players must be our priority in the transfer window.

awg72. We finished third last season, 3 points behind the sheep and 12 points behind the unwashed. We'll definitely finish 2nd this season but I imagine the gap between us and them will be about the same. Considering it has been SG's first season in charge there is much to be optimistic about. The Scottish Cup now has to be our goal and if we can lift that, then that would be progress. Why we can have so much possession and pressure in some games yet not win them is a worry though.

Last season we conceded 50 league goals to date this season 21, will someone tell me how that is not an improvement.

A lot of debate on here as to whether this is inept or a work in progress. The fact of the matter is that this time last year we had 30 points. So have we improved? Is that progress?
1.) 10 Dec 2018 18:24:52
how many points did the tims have last year at this point. teams are taking points off each other.
2.) 11 Dec 2018 00:11:09
Yes it’s progress.
Still in Europe.
Another overhaul of the playing squad was required. It’s not as if Gerrard had any foundations to start from.
But if you just want to look at it from a points to points basis then that is your prerogative. Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture ðŸ‘.

Does anyone know where Dorrans is in his return from injury?
1.) 02 Sep 2018 03:04:11
Im not that concerned about Dorrans, he's mince!
2.) 02 Sep 2018 04:54:45
Personally I’d like to see the club pay him and Rossiter off. Both are picking up decent wages and are injured constantly. When they have had opportunities to start they haven’t offered much in my opinion.

I’d like to know what the position is on Dorrans and Rossiter injuries as both players when fit again have something to offer to the team at the min they would both struggle to get into the starting 11. I wouldn’t be paying them off just yet I think in the case of Dorrans he showed some good form in the early stages of his rangers career didn’t make an impact in Celtic games as had to play in a deeper role that didn’t suit his game with no jack beside him. We are now all seeing how good a player Jack is. Dorrans I believe came back too early from injury last year and lacked fitness and everyone seems to be judging him on that form. I hope he can come back and be a good player for rangers as I still believe fit and under Gerrard he has something to offer.
Rossiter is still a bit of an unknown and there has to be a question mark over his fitness it’s such a shame as he clearly has a great attitude and there is a great players there if we can get him fit. I think if he doesn’t regain fitness this season then a parting of the ways might be in the best interests for both parties although I hope he can play for us as he has the potential to be a great player under SG.

Dorrans won't play again this year from what I'm hearing.

Dear Steven,
Welcome to your first real day in the job and congratulations on both the victory and the measured post match comments.
A couple of points I would wish to make:
1. Honeymoons at Rangers do not last long. The ripples of anxiety last night should not be confused with tension at a new team bedding in, but exasperation with what we have witnessed too often - pedantic build up play and an inability to take chances.
2. On the latter, our frustration with Windass and Morelos was palpable last season. I have chosen to hold fire on judgement of both hoping that lack of experience, tiredness and youth might give way to signs of improvement under a new regime. There was no evidence of this last night and our lack of creativity and goal scoring is a debilitating legacy of the Warburton era that has never been addressed since his departure. We do not want to hear post match laments of possession and wonderful play not being translated into goals and results. We've heard that before. Morelos and Windass should be moved on and greater potency must be sought.
Wishing you wisdom in what remains of the transfer window. and budget!
awg72.

I continue to be disappointed by Murphy. He is far too soft and lacks any grit, determination or bite when trying to hold off defenders or win back possession. He looked like a soft touch last season (particularly against our main rivals, Celtic and Aberdeen) and they now know it. I think he has established a reputation in Scotland for being someone who can be bullied out of a game, not good
2.) 13 Jul 2018 09:52:02
Awg72.I will leave team talks, selection, tactics and motivation up to Mr Gerard rather than you. if that's alright with you. To be fair, you are right, we were not great but he's not going to come out and slaughter his team after the first game.
3.) 13 Jul 2018 13:18:34
Thought murphy was our best player last night.
01 May 2018 13:52:32
I remain unconvinced by the comments that Murty has been hung out to dry.
1. He wanted the job and made no secret of that. So he was given a chance - and rightly so considering the potential applicants or lack thereof.
2. His record was poor. To state last week that he felt he was a candidate for the job permanently, smacked of dillusional nonsense.
3. He was appointed until the end of the season only. His tenure was up and it was an inevitable conclusion, in light of two heavy defeats, that his tenure was over!
4. King had a fiduciary responsibility to assure stakeholders that the club was intent on bringing in a manager. Murty should have known that. Talk of being hurt at such communication, or thrown under the bus is nonsense. If Murty thought otherwise he had dillusions of grandeur.
So now the Board must push the SG issue over the finishing line and an appearance at the weekend would go a long way to reinstating a degree of hope.

In a nutshell awg
Couldn't agree more
2.) 01 May 2018 14:01:54
Excellent post awg72. You might want to tell Brenda that too.
3.) 01 May 2018 14:13:11
ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON 1000%
4.) 01 May 2018 14:44:46
Can’t argue with any of that post. Murty wanted the job was given the chance and wasn’t up to it
5.) 01 May 2018 18:16:24
Great post. As for Rodgers comments. Would love to see the reaction of that mob if they had lost 9 goals in 2 games against us and hadn’t beaten us in around 10 games. Maybe he would “get thrown to the garbageâ€. Every man and their dog linked to them has had their say about us lately.
6.) 01 May 2018 19:38:43
Yet just three weeks ago people wanted him to become permanent manager 😂 he record was terrible far worse than even Pedro I was sick of him months ago all this he speaks well rubbish he was always angling along the poor poor me mr nice guy side to get people onside by feeling sorry for him.
7.) 01 May 2018 19:47:10
Spot on - however most of the press have used the news as another excuse to kick rangers . Can’t believe talksport give that Brazil any airtime. Gerrard managing in Scottish football would be a huge shot in the arm unless your a Timothy

"Hi Graeme, come in, take a seat. Drink? No, quite right. as you will know, we’re in a bind, with McInness being so rude. Anyway, we thought that you might like to try your hand again, having done so well last time! We have every confidence in you, and you know we have your back.
“Thanks, you know I love the club! I’ll do my best, David! "
“Thats Mr King, to you. "

Spot on trueblue. Mark Allan remains an enigma. He spent 5 months at the club before appointing a team of 5 people to lead recruitment and development of playing staff - this was done with a PR fanfare! Yet he remains silent over team performance, search for a manager, strategic direction of footballing matters, etc. Mark Allan is a light weight who is keen only to be exposed to fluffy feel good nonsense. When the proverbial hits the fan, he is posted MIA.
