With barrie mckay being frozen out at forest what do u all think about bringing him back for competition for candeias and murphy our bench looked a bit lightweight compared to celtics at weekend.

14 Mar 2018 23:46:39
Then he'd just take the hump again about being on the bench

15 Mar 2018 07:51:55
We had jack, Dorrans, Martin, mccrorie, Wallace and if you want to count rossiter all injured that's why it was light. If everyone was fit whatever the starting 11 was that would leave a good bench

15 Mar 2018 09:58:10
Id definitely give him another chance for 500k not too much of a gamble

15 Mar 2018 17:24:23
I thought his attitude was questionable to say the least and some of his performances were that of a man not trying. The same situation has happened at Forest now and of McKay isn’t careful he could end up like Ness or Kyle Hutton

15 Mar 2018 20:46:57
No way should Mckay return he dumped us.

14 Mar 2018 14:10:48
I tend to ignore overall stats and look at game to game what is happening on Park. From that perspective our defence is poor leaking cheap goals and IMO until Morelos and Cummings allowed to gel together attack will be lacking. This may mean 4-4-2 which I'm not against but we should have whole close season to perfect.

14 Mar 2018 18:26:14
Murty would not go 442 against Celtic that had 5 in the middle.
We sat off them, inviting them on to us to try hit them on the break. We should have pressed them more like with the first goal as they are as bad if not worse than us defensively.

14 Mar 2018 22:54:56
Aye Union Jack we scored 3 against u on Sunday you score 2,we’ve conceded 2 to your 5 against us this season and conceded 15 goals less than u in the league, but our defence is worse! Hahahaha! More Colin nish yet again LOL!

15 Mar 2018 09:36:13
That’s because no one presses your lot high up the park san7 as Union Jack said if you read his post correctly, as Hearts did to your lot at tynecastle where they completely run over your defence 👍🏻. follow follow san7

15 Mar 2018 11:45:35
Haha Jack Union! That u Union Jack kidding on someone is sticking up for you? LOL! The point was made that our defence is worse than yours, which quite clearly isn’t the case! But whatever makes your pain that little much more bearable! Hahahaha.

14 Mar 2018 08:03:01
The problem I think we all have is Morales thinks he's better than he actually is?
There is no doubt he is not a bad wee player but will never hit the top leagues in Europe. His attitude at being substituted in most games is not great after having stinkers and the miss at the weekend was indefensible! Giving the choice long term most Gers fans would surely take Cummings over Morelos all day long? We have a boy in Cummings who wants to play for the club and let's build at team round him! 🇬🇧.

14 Mar 2018 10:37:52
where did you get that drivel post from, not one of your points too many gers fans will agree with, if we had beat them on sunday or got a draw you would not be on here posting that nonsence

14 Mar 2018 11:06:27
Absolute rubbish Cummings is not the player Morelos is yes he misses a few sitters but he’s top goal scorer, the work he does for the team is immense he bullied that Celtic defence all day, he’s young and will get better you give the attitude you think he doesn’t want to play for us well why did he sign a new contract on Fri, Cummings isn’t a bad player but he is never the team player of Morelos he would always be my first pick

14 Mar 2018 12:17:10
Why did he sign a contract extension? Think about it, thinkaboutit.
The obvious answer would be for the undoubted wage increase. Secondly, players often sign contract extensions before leaving as a favour to the club to get them a bit of extra money on the deal when they sell him. Unless, of course you believe that we did actually turn down a £10m offer for him.

14 Mar 2018 13:02:06
Sorry I can't agree with you at all Yately.
I like Cummings and would like to see us sign him permanently for us but I actually see him more as a squad player.

I've never had any problems with players being visibly unhappy at being substituted, it shows how much they want to play. His missing sitters is a little worrying though.

Can I ask why you think he believes he is better than he is?
There are couple of players in our squad that I believe have rampant egos but Morelos isn't on of them.

14 Mar 2018 14:45:16
I actually agree with Yately here, because Cummings would do anything to get into that starting line-up, whereas Morelos would do anything for a big move away from Ibrox.

Time will tell I suppose and STYAB is right, why would Morelos sign an extension other than more wages and to get us more money when he eventually moves on in the summer. We are a mere stepping stone.

14 Mar 2018 16:26:55
The problem is truebluesotrue we never drew or won on Sunday!

14 Mar 2018 18:15:07
what a load of nonsense, what's wrong with being upset at coming of, what's wrong at wanting to better yourself or get best wages you possible can. why would rangers offer a new contract with higher salry if they didn't think he was an asset. cummins is a finisher i agree but he doesn't do all the other stuff that moroles does. for me he starts before anyone else and eithe cummins plays alongside or comes off the bench and sorry i have a feeling murty agrees too.

14 Mar 2018 20:42:42
Morelos needs to improve his chance conversion for sure but no one can write the wee man off, he’s still very likely to finish top goalscorer this season!

14 Mar 2018 02:42:12
Yet again, another player being slated by some of our own 'support' on social media.

Morelos is getting it this time round. Disgraceful some of the comments on his Instagram and Twitter. I've actualy seen Morelos liking posts defending him on Instagram also, hope it doesn't affect the Wee mans confidence 🤦🏻‍♂️

He's 21 years old, 17 goals for the season, 6 assists. You can't accuse him of laziness, he does not shy away from physical contact with defenders.

Missing two great chances in an Old Firm game is a sore one to take for the fans but people need to have a word with themselves.

14 Mar 2018 07:09:00
I’m lost for words with the amount of people defending his work rate, it’s really really poor when we don’t have the ball. He continually makes false run’s pretending to close a man down but not actually doing it. Similar criticism has been giving of Fabregas in the past. The number of times he gets cought offside again highlights his poor work rate and naivety. Now I’m not slagging the guy off as you’ve stated he’s only 21 and has had an excellent first season but he must improve his work rate (especially off the ball) and timings of runs if he wants to play at a reasonable level. Just now he wouldn’t make the first team of any of the top 5 championship teams.

14 Mar 2018 07:15:12
Yes BearMode91,some of our supporters do need to have a very long conversation with themselves mate! I was as disappointed as any other bear, coming out of ibrox on sunday! We were all saying that morelos missed an absolute sitter, which is correct! Like all exceptionally good strikers before him, he has missed a few, this season, these things happen! But some go too far and some of the criticisms of morelos are way over the top and totally uncalled for imo! Morelos as a striker most certainly brings much more pluses to the rangers team, than negatives, that's for sure and not even up for debate! Get behind the guy as he's still so very young and will get better and better! His goalscoring record for us in his maiden season in scottish football, is pretty good! He has a 1 in 2 ratio! He'll learn more on his missed chances and the very good thing any good striker always needs, is he's in the positions to get the chances! Give the guy a break and get behind him to instill his confidence, instead of some of you castigating the young man because he's missed what all strikers have done, chances!

14 Mar 2018 08:54:41
Just can't agree with you Hollow55!Morelos brings a helluva lot to the team and the way murty wants rangers to play! His hold up play is paramount here, as this allows our midfielders up in support, thus why windass has scored as much as fredo! I don't know what you're watching mate but imo his clever workrate off the ball, in bullying and dragging defenders all over the place, is top notch! He makes space for example windass, to burst through with those runs! I certainly wouldn't question his workrate! Not to mention like i said earlier,17 goals and something like 6 assists in his maiden season in scottish football, says a lot for me mate! All at the tender age of just 21 years old! Into the bargain there's much more improvement to come!

14 Mar 2018 10:01:04
Well I respect your view Supercooper, I still believe (after watching him a good amount this season) he will need to improve this if he expects to be a EPL player. Perhaps in a few seasons he’ll be smarter and fine tuned a number of aspects of his game to make him a top player but as you today he’s not there. Still a great signing for £1m and a very good set of results in his first season - as you say, more to come (if he’s open minded and determined enough to improve)

14 Mar 2018 10:03:53
Morelos has not been here a full season yet but has twice stated that he wants to leave if you say things like that you have to be banging them in for us in the big games or he has to except the flak that comes with it

14 Mar 2018 11:11:34
Rubbish he signed a new contract on Fri and few players in Scotland would not want to play in the EPL we are a selling club and if the time and money are right all players are for sale same with Celtic and all other Scottish clubs

14 Mar 2018 12:08:45
How many did Kris Boyd score for us against them?

14 Mar 2018 13:20:08
To be fair DEEB, kris boyd hardly got a start against celtic! Check it out!
