Unbelievable £24 million to become the 15th best team in Scotland. Hold your heads up Board, Management and players you have done an amazing job of robbing us and ruining our football club. God knows how much it will cost and how long it will take to fix McCoist and his crews legacy, never mind the slimeballs in the Boardroom and their legacy, I'm scared to even find out the damage that long line of crooks have done with their salaries, pay offs, consultancy fees, contracts for the boys and penny shares. We have a massive mountain to climb.

first time Hibs keeper used the ball fast, they scored
Slovenian guy thinks he is a star but he's not
Boyd and Miller finished a long time ago

Fwiw I said on here away at the start of the season ant manager worth his salt would play a counter attacking system and beat us, that's what happened last night again, the hibs players punted the ball up the park into empty spaces know there young strikers would be first to the ball.

Fwiw I also said after our first couple of games that we would not qualify for the play of place, I hope ime wrong on that, but would any of us gamble on that play off spot? I wonder.

it's awful hard to climb out of quicksand, but I fear if we survive the EGM we will still be in the same division next season.

Can't see us catching hearts now but at least with this fight and desire we can win play offs!

I am on record as saying 2nd year in championship would not be a disaster however the right manager installing a bit of dig and fight and we could hold our own in premier league.

Got to get right manager I don't know who but mcall for me would do job, certainly would not like to go into changing room having not tried.

2 final points - where has this attitude and tempo been
Chris Boyd - OMG how could leagues all time scorer be so bad and a self proclaimed rangers fan, he should hang his head in shame, never done it for rangers!

Oh so unlucky. KMcD took off the best player, the most skilful player, someone who could get a goal?
Obviously out of his depth and using the game to get sent on garden leave.
Good show though especially the goalie, and they played well. Stats show that as well, but it's goals that count.

2nd or 3rd at best mate. But we need to find a goalscorer as there were chances created tonight and kris boyd just isn't the answer anymore. Neither is daly.

Davey - hugh : Correct, none of our strikers are the answer, felt Aird should have played on Sunday and tonight as although he ain't great he would have had a point to prove after old firm game and he is always likely to create chances. Vuckic is good and maybe could have played right up front, but we should have got a striker in at the deadline, apart from Law who is now also not scoring you wonder where the next goal will come, shows how much we miss McLeod, although money wise it made sense.

14 Feb 2015 07:34:55
money wise it made sense?, r u joking m8,? money wise it made no sense whatsoever

I was meaning more that they felt they had to take in some transfer money and that was the best they were going to get, I didn't think it was great, wise business sense either.

Is templeton injured?

{Ed039's Note - yes)

13 Feb 2015 21:07:23
Wonder if Boyd tried to miss, it would go in the net?

13 Feb 2015 21:24:24
Shiels will equalise

A better fight put up by us, still another night of misery.

Line-Up vs Hibs (4-2-3-1) - Robinson - Faure, Zaliukus, McGregor, Wallace (c) - Murdoch, Hutton - Vuckic, Law, Miller - Boyd

13 Feb 2015 19:57:52
Robinson in, that's an improvement for a start. I predict 1-0 Gers, Vuckic.

13 Feb 2015 20:10:10
Hibs 1-0 prediction is way wrong we haven't beaten them this season why would it change when we have an ally clone in charge

13 Feb 2015 20:33:21
2/0 Hibs

13 Feb 2015 20:37:55
So much for optimism

13 Feb 2015 20:39:31
2 Friday games coming up v Raithand Falkirk, but will either of the 2 midfield injured lads from Newcastle be playing in either game?

13 Feb 2015 20:43:42
One nil down, trying hard but no quality, miller off is a big blow, god knows how mcoist was allowed to sign another pensioners in zaliukas, who is lost, and finished long ago,? Its seriously difficult to comprehend? I can see us collapsing in 2nd half, we have without doubt tried hard, but we are missing miller already, he was grafting hard, not out. Of this but need to be tight at back, unlike zally

At this moment in time I now do not want to see Rangers progress into the SPFL Premiership. Hard as it is to say, I have to face reality - the team is just not good enough, even though the Premiership is very very poor, St Mirren would pump them, so they would.

I therefore think that we need another season in The Championship to get our infrastructure in place.

So very very sad.

I totally agree royal blue but wee can safely say wee have no chance of going up anyway, just hope wee boot out deadwood and rebuild wisely next season with a blend of youth and experience and guided by a good expereinced manager

I would like to add that I do not now think we will have a manager in place until King and The Three Bears take over becomes a reality. If they succeed then their manager will need backroom staff, coaches, finances, scouts and oh decent players to mount a serious challenge.

This cannot happen overnight and will need a season to bed them in and get a good team spirit and a winning spirit playing with confidence looking forward to the following season's challenge - not this stuttering and spluttering - this is not Rangers - that has to be rebuilt.

I think we need a year to recover, although I wouldn't be happy to remain in championship for another year, I don't think it would be a bad thing. We win the EGM and we would have full stadium every week, more money in the coffers and people on the board who would run the club properly. let's get back to where we belong, no matter how longs it takes

On the playing side they are being poorly coached since WS departed. Why have so many players gone down hill.
On the other side we have to be positive and get promoted, that is where we belong and that is where we start.
No contracts for next season, the team should be fighting to do well and earn a contract otherwise their weekly rate will reduce by 75%. Miller is the only one putting in a shift thus far.

I will say this to anyone who thinks we should go into the Premiership next year - Which Rangers player is good enough, at the moment, to play in the Premiership? I'll put it another way - if Rangers players are up for sale, which they were, which Premiership club would put an offer in?

1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

I say a big fat zero!

If King and The Three Bears take control, which is now the only way for Rangers to survive, they will not be able to turn round Rangers total footballing capitulation even if Rangers managed somehow to get into the playoffs and get promoted - that scenario now seems beyond the Rangers players.

Another record for this team - first time ever to be beaten three times in the league by one team!

How many records will be set before we get rid of this pestilence that has enveloped and devoured The Famous Glasgow Rangers.

I feel for McDowall - he is a coach not a manager. He wants to leave so much it hurts. The Bored are so effin shocking. I think I will phone the polis to get them arrested for neglect in the extreme!

If King and The Three Bears do not get control then The Famous Glasgow Rangers will go the way of Third Lanark
It will be like water going down the drain without a plug to stop it.

If anyone has any money to spare then buy Rangers shares - remember the only shares that are on sale are coming from those shareholders who are not Rangers minded.

I'd play a Gasparotto, Stoney or Walsh tonight. We have to change things and mix things up or risk losing for the 3rd time in a row to Hibs.

Favouritism out the window I hope and do what almost every single Rangers supporter has been asking for years. Maybe we have a Harry Kane.

{Ed039's Note - Your post was excellent until the last sentence)

Gasparotto and stoney are out on loan are they not?

{Ed039's Note - Airdrie and Stranraer respectively)

Simonsens ban could be the break that lee Robinson has needed get him some game time he can't be any worse that that plank. I remember a time we always had the best keepers apart from watereus he was dreadful.

Really don't know why some people are so outraged with Simonsen. Yes there is a blanket ban on football betting amongst players but look at his supposed crime.

55 bets totalling just 205 pounds, That's less than 2 quid a bet.
Of those 55 only one of them was on teams playing in Scotland and that was premier division.

He did not bet against his own team or games he was involved in or even any competition he is involved in.

This is totally different to the Ian Black scenario.

Surely all Simonsen can be accused of is stupidity as he should have been aware of the strict rules. But for all those people calling for him to get sacked or to be banned for even longer. That is a massive over reaction and just bonkers.

Its a joke Dunc, we want him banned longer because he's a lump a wid.Nothing to do with betting.

My gripe isn't really with The gambling it the fact he's rank rotten between the sticks. Regardless how much bets cost it's still breaking the rules could still affect outcome of matches in sfa eyes.

Blackout. You are right! I remember in the 50s and 60s we had the like of Niven and Ritchie in goal and of course then we had big Peter McCloy, Andy Goram and Stefan Klos.

He has been pretty useless but I don't have much faith in Robinson either. Let's hope I'm proved wrong.
With these three games in hand we do still have a chance but we need a drastic turn around in form.

All of this talk of a crisis at the back, Am I right in thinking we still have Wallace, Faure, Zaliukas and Mcgregor fit?
With also Smith and Daly who could do a shift there?

Dunc although he is the worst keeper we had, I think he should have got a longer ban, to say he never new the rules is wrong, after all his team mate was banned for the same thing, maybe the s.f.a.were gave him the break because they want to see him in goal, known that with him in goal the opposition are almost certainly going to score lol.

Simonsen-
Does the guy know he can come of his line?

Chris Woods was another class act as well. Re-the Hibs game, like most people, I think the banning of these players will shake things up a bit and I'm actually looking forward to the game. Pity McDowall hadn't already done this. He's been far too loyal to players that let McCoist and him down. If he'd changed things about a bit and still failed at least everybody would've applauded him for trying something different. I think Hibs might be in for a surprise as quite liked the look of the new boy Vuckic. How does this team look? Robinson, Faure, McGregor, Zaliuskas, Wallace, Templeton, Law, Vuckic, Smith, Miller and Daly

Hungry wall end I posted the very same thing last week after his performance, though I think I posted the same thing a while ago, he is definetely the worst keeper ever to play for our club.

Live known football players all my life, coming from north Glasgow I nwow many and I'm related to 2, don't know of any of them who doesn't do a coupon on match day, its a simple interest, a hobby, so long as it doesn't get out of hand, the rules should simply cover major betting or games in ure league which u may sumhow can influence, strange to me knowing football's s, that it seems to be Rangers players who get caught, and they seem to know how many bets and how much?, a rat is smelling somewhat
