Supercooper to your earler message who would i like to see as rangers manager i feel the board should try apoint one of these 4 managers before people say we can not get them you never no till you try if we can supply them with funds they could be tempted
Marco silva
Hein vanhaezebrouck
Micheal prude homme
Frank deboer

15 Apr 2018 22:47:13
I want Warnock and even that is probably fantasy land. We don't have any money. or have we all forgot that?

15 Apr 2018 23:09:46
Dutch why do you and some others seem to think we have no funds to spend come the summmer there will be funds available season ticket money kit sales sponsor money then player sales if we can get rid of any
Look at the money we have previously spent there will be the same out if not more for a new manager in the summer
If the fans want a experianced manager in charge how bout martin jol as manager warnock will stay at cardiff

16 Apr 2018 06:16:34
We will have money in the summer but nobody knows what deals we're getting for kit, etc. We also have to pay back that loan to close brothers. I can't really say I've got much confidence that the club will get the right man in. We really are shockingly run

15 Apr 2018 21:30:07
I cannot see what Jimmy Nichol and Jonhatten Johansen are actually doing
I must be honest and say I thought Jimmy Nicholl was great acquisition but we're no better off since he came
BUT odds on him taking team for last games must be short.

16 Apr 2018 11:35:52
Murty has to step down tonight or tomorrow. He can’t possiby carry on after that performance or the way players showed a distinct lack of respect for him. For those of us old enough to remember Jock Wallace there is Norway Halliday or Candeias would have done that to him and no way any players would have turned in a performance like that. Murty has lost it and can’t continue

15 Apr 2018 21:08:33
Well they go on about the start of a good team is having a good spine. Well we've not got a spine, the consistancy of a lot of these players is absolutely shocking, If you take the stats of our players over the season against the top half teams i honestly think there would only be a couple of players who would make it above a 7. Its totally unacceptable and there really needs to be a major clearout. For that to happen there has got to be at least £15 million made available just on transfer fees. And there has to be another manager in charge that is not affraid to give these persons the hairdryer treatment. Step up mr king or get someone else in that is prepared to back up what he says. FOLLOW FOLLOW.

16 Apr 2018 11:48:48
Think we need a lot more than 15 million nearer 25 but no chance of that

15 Apr 2018 21:04:40
Just spent the last few ours looking for a silver lining on the big dark cloud hanging over our heads.

If Murty and team managed the cup and secured 2nd I think the board would have given him a crack at the job full time. Our situation would have stumbled on and we would have got found out next season at some point.

So perhaps this was the wake up call the board needed.

This time the mood of the support, I feel, is very very different from previous lows - we've really had enough.

I sense and hope this will be some sort of turning point.

Time to get a Rangers quality manager and the rest should fall into place. I know, easier said than done!

PS: Hearts at home next week - whos brave enough to predict that result.

All the best fellow Bears.

15 Apr 2018 21:34:12
I will give a prediction. 2-0 to Hearts. We crap it at home have no confidence an even worse defence and no fight. simple.

15 Apr 2018 21:46:07
The board have slept through so many wake up calls already dave king has been playing us for fools for too long now i'm don't think i will be renewing my book pains me too say it i don't trust them to get it right anymore

16 Apr 2018 11:34:25
It was blatantly obvious that Rangers were not going to win the cup and it’s was even more obvious that Murty wasn’t getting the job and wasn’t the right man. However some on here who have went into hiding tonight seemed to think Murty was the answer and that Halliday had to start today. Would be interesting to hear from certain people tonight but I guess that won’t happen

15 Apr 2018 20:58:47
Mcleish till the end of the season anyone? Murty surely cannot manage those players for even one more game.

15 Apr 2018 21:19:47
Really . 🤣

15 Apr 2018 21:45:54
My god lol 😂

16 Apr 2018 00:29:52
The McLeish ship has sailed i'm afraid he shoukd have been installed the day after Warburton left. I'll tell you one thing - we woukdn't be in this sirry state. The big guy should tell King to eff off if he makes a move now. What was it 7 trophiez with a much reduced budget than Advocaat? Rralistically, Why would we not approach big Eck then? Mystifying!

16 Apr 2018 06:21:48
Spot on seeker, the football might not have been always pretty but we'd in a much better position with McLeish

16 Apr 2018 11:33:17
No way would that happen but do agree Murty can’t continue. The lack of respect shown at him by 2 players when subbed was disgraceful.

16 Apr 2018 11:38:19
Why would Mcleish want too
Leave Scotland job come here until end of season baffling?

15 Apr 2018 20:41:45
We are are all hurting, but that result, as much as it hurts could/ should be a blessing in disguise. We wrongly thought we needed only two or three players to be serious contenders for trophies. We need a clear out and let's start with the goalie.

15 Apr 2018 21:20:04
Totally agree. He's very over rated and offers nothing in my eyes. Can't even punch a ball.

15 Apr 2018 21:27:21
Well said truebluedrew! The goalkeeper is hopeless! Guys on here saying he was the business weeks ago! Guy is a bombscare and he would be the first of many to go for me too! Installs no confidence whatsoever

15 Apr 2018 21:27:40
We don’t need a clear out. We have decent players, it’s the manager that’s the problem. We need a manager that puts fear into the players every time they step on the pitch. Just look at what Clarke has done at Killie. Even Celtic haven’t got that many new players from the team we beat in the semi.

15 Apr 2018 21:31:57
Foderingham one of the worst we have had

15 Apr 2018 21:48:28
He's a great diver. Just not any good at saving anything. He's been getting a by for months now. Can't realise his dream to play for England in Scotland we'll see yaaaaaaa.

15 Apr 2018 21:50:54
Foderingham isn't that bad guys. He wasn't to blame today for a single goal. Why isn't any blame fingered at McCrorie, or Martin?

15 Apr 2018 21:57:48
They were both murder as well. Mccrorie not a cb. Defensive midfielder. Martin hopefully away.

16 Apr 2018 11:32:27
Sorry but there were plenty of us that knew this wasn’t the case and said so. The team and the manager were clearly not good enough and the gap between us and them is as large as it’s ever been. It’s farcical that a club of our size had a u20 coach in charge for the majority of the season

15 Apr 2018 20:30:46
Can someone enlighten me? Besides beautification programs and "fan experiences" can someone tell me what the exact Club1782 is doing to improve the quality of Rangers on the pitch. It seems like there are is a lot of fluff and not much substance.

15 Apr 2018 20:35:17
More or less King's yes men and I can't recall one occasion where they have actually questioned king whatsoever. Certainly do not speak for me

15 Apr 2018 20:21:48
Time for the board to grow a pair and put the man out of his misery. Simply not fair and strongly suggests that the board have no idea what they are trying to achieve. Ie pedro following the breadman come on that had disaster written all over it. can't see any strategy other than fingers crossed hope for the best and hope the loyal fans shell out for new season tickets.

15 Apr 2018 20:33:10
Could not agree more. We are always a long shot. Recruitment with both personnel and manager really poor right through spine of team. Why are we sitting in today and showing them respect. Murty set team up to do just that.

15 Apr 2018 19:58:15
l murty to blame he took over a shocking squad of players - read my post earlier properly
the board had the chance to change it - they are the ones that decided to keep murty in a job not me and certainly not any of you.
They are to blame not the man that's been left to try pick up the pieces after the Portuguese, bread man etc
Am I wrong?
We the fans all knew what we were getting with murty he's not a miracle worker and he had no experience he has done his best end of
The rangers job at any period of time is a huge job and under the circumstances of the past 6 years makes it a different beast altogether. No manger is going to challenge
For the title under these circumstances

The board need to be changed something needs to be changed let's not let it lie at murty door he's not the making of this disaster and we all know it
Remember whyte, green, Murray, liqudisation
Was that murty
Oh but it's murty fault we lost all Celtic games this season
What about the last 6 seasons
What about playing in 3rd division
No invested is coming forward dave king as far as I can see has no plan
Listen the club is ****** until someone williing to invest a lot of money why are we thinking we should be competing with the east end
I'm a realist the figures tell the whole story. Not a man that came from the youth system and it's all his fault
Where are the real rangers fans that understand what has happening to our club I ask?

15 Apr 2018 20:24:21
Rangers have murty because they can't afford any better that's bottom line after pedro blow all the money in the summer. He has been thrown under a bus and king is a total conman who will never take rangers forward and the bull about next manager winning league was just to sell season tickets. Celtic got rid of a board by not turning and it looks like that is only way forward we need a new investor Celtic found fergus and now desmond rangers need someone

15 Apr 2018 19:13:45
Todays tactics by murty today where terrible
the current players where losing the plot with him and each other big problems at our club
to make sure we get second or third i think murty needs be tain out out the firing line this week.
Quite a few comnents from ex players tonight blasting the team saying there no fight ect they are spot on something needs to change.

The manager situion i personally do not want us to move for some bang avarage manager like some beeing currently linked we need get the best man for the job and provide them with funds to get there own players signing players from spl are not good enough and same goes for targeting spl managers
Need a higher profile manager to attract players has worked at celtic some players are there because they want play for rodgers

{Ed0333's Note - Gatuuso?

15 Apr 2018 19:36:23
I actually felt pretty confident before the game but within ten minutes knew we weren't at the races. Their worst player had a better game than our best although I don't know if you could use the term best when discussing that shambles in blue today.

TBH couldn't care less about finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th. We have no chance of doing anything in the Europa anyway. Season's over for me.

I've been saying I wouldn't discuss next manager until after today and only hope we land somebody better than Warbs, Caxinha and the board's failed target MacInnes. No faith in King to do any better next time around.

15 Apr 2018 19:55:57
It’s all very well spouting the obvious mate but stick your neck out and tell us who you think this superman is then?

15 Apr 2018 20:17:32
Like yourself geromino, at hampden today like many others beside me, i also knew after the 1st 10 minutes that weren't at the races! As a rangers shareholder and season ticket holder, of 40 odd years now i've seen just about everything, good and bad! What i will not accept as a rangers supporter, is standing off and lack of effort! We have stuck by the football club we love, especially these last 6 years and i won't accept a performance like that from a rangers team! That performance is not on! I can accept they have better players than us just now, but i won't accept a lack of effort from any rangers team! We the lifeblood DON'T deserve that! We've most definitely as supporters, have done our bit and way more, over these barron last 6 years! We now need a statement from the hierarchy at rangers within the next day or so, mapping out to us all, where our football club is going! that's what i want as a true rangers supporter, simple as that! I was one of the posters on here who continually canvassed for graeme murty to be given the manager's job beyond this season! I hold my hands up here tonight and feel this job is too big for murty, who i still rate as a good coach! We need some appointment here fellow bears and this board has NO leeway now and must get this managerial appointment correct! Otherwise its not 10 in a row we'll be looking at, it could be 15 in a row and rising! Who we get as our next manager, god only knows, but it sure as hell better be a good one! Over to you dave king and cohorts, the bears are waiting and watching

15 Apr 2018 20:32:44
M8 he’s played 4231 all season then on our most important game of the season changes to 433 which leaves us wide open. Is he mad.

15 Apr 2018 20:51:43
Lego i no who i would like us to trying get but every time u put a name out there folk end up saying no chance of getting them or not good enough what certainly is not good enough is targeting managers from scottish leauges non them are good enough to attract better players to our club at this point.

15 Apr 2018 21:01:35
Who would you have craig8688?

15 Apr 2018 21:02:11
Well said Coop, let’s all keep our chins up and I know it’s hard as today was real torture! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

15 Apr 2018 21:34:22
Trying to play a style of football that doesn't suit the money and players available rules out details boer for me. Look at Walters last spell we need someone who can galvanish us make us hard to play against able to defend as a team and capable of grabbing a goal or 2. I'd love Neil warnock the I know he's a bit of a knob but he does a goodles job everywhere he is and his players would run through a brick wall for him

15 Apr 2018 19:37:12
Good for me ED

{Ed0333's Note - I think Gatusso would be your dream ticket. If he doesn’t get Milan into the Europa League he might be out of a job but not saying he’s attainable but he’d certainly get in the face of a certain Brendan Rogers. I’m not sure what type of financial package he would want or indeed guarantees about a transfer kitty etc.

15 Apr 2018 18:59:16
Simply dire.
Embarrassing.

15 Apr 2018 18:38:43
Today was a disaster yip totally outclassed, i was shocked at the players attitude where was the get into them attitude, i think we just need a good clearout but keep the base of players dorrans etc haven't turned into terrible players overnight, our most important signing will be the manager though we need somebody to kick these players a55es, that players will be scared to see angry and have total respect for, who i don't know but if we're not careful and they have a chance of winning the title on our visit i'm taking tissues with me, never have i been this annoyed and embarrassed to be going to there place in a couple of weeks knowing we might just roll over and get totally pumped and i'm not talking 4 0 pumped, surely thr players will provide a response, surely though probably not.

15 Apr 2018 18:54:53
Are you for real - Dorrans! . The guy is a total imposter! The remit of any midfielder is to keep the ball moving and DO NOT GIVE THE BALL AWAY! Dorrans can't keep the ball or pass it to some-one who can therefore get hit to f? @k!

The only way we are going to get back to where we belong is being ruthless, Therefore;

Martin - gone
McCrorie - Young squad player
Dorrans - gone
Haliday - gone
Windass - Young squad player
Murphy - Decent Squad Player

15 Apr 2018 21:40:34
Zikos Dorrans isn't an imposter mate. He needs to play further up the park he's no use as a holding midfielder he's wasted there he has an eye for a pass n a good shot but is getting played well out of position. He's a relation of my dad and the whole family are massive bluenose he will be hurting from today I guarantee that much

16 Apr 2018 11:34:45
Frustrated Blue- Are you for real? He will be hurting tonight!

He didn't play like he was hurting!

I hate all this Bluenose bullshit. Cast you mind back to the Particles Thistle cup tie in which Dorrans played. When the chips were down it was the foreign guys that showed the most fight. Get Haliday and Dorrans to f£&k. They are decent footballers but not good enough for Rangers.

You say Dorrans is a good midfielder, sorry but he isn't. He can't pass the ball 5 yards! We need to get a midfield 3 byeer than brown, Ncham and Rogic. He will never be in that bracket I'm afraid.

15 Apr 2018 18:34:34
I'm 34 i started supporting Rangers in 1995 that's when I can remember the first old firm I watched and what I saw today was utter disgraceful they boys should be ashamed to take a wage after that I'm from an era where Rangers don't settle for second best so I don't understand why many posters are happy with second place hahaha I was used to van bronkhost and cinchelsks type of players not Andy halliday and wanna be's.
don't settle for second best it's not the Rangers way as for Dave king he has major questions to be answered about the managerial side of it and financially is he truly capable of giving Celtic a title challenge enough of excuses and flogging off the fans either show the money or get out my patience is going thin now with this board.

15 Apr 2018 18:03:50
A few words will do. Disgusting spineless tactically shocking and we are a million light years away from celtic. On that and recent performances we look like a bottom 6 team who have sneaked in the back door. Mr Murty thanks but its a big no. If the board have someone lined up get him in now and i don't fancy that lot to take many if any points from the other top 6 teams. just my opinion but that was brutal.

15 Apr 2018 18:11:27
Here was my response

Listen see all the rubbish about oh murty needs to go
It was murty that brought us back into this league otherwise we were looking at relegation under caixhina
It’s not his murty fault - he was brought in from the youth squad - the board had the chance to change things in January but decided to save the pennies -
Murty for his level of ability and knowledge of the game has done his best
Yes mistakes have been made what do you expect form a man in his first role of taking over a total farce of a club
Any experienced manager would find it difficult to cope and bring about what’s needed under the circumstances

We need regime change king is not the answer
No investment is coming forward - I’m sorry but it’s not looking good
But it’s not murty fault let’s get that straight here and now
He’s has been hung out to be the scape goat let’s not look at this with blinkers on
That man has done his very best and if it’s not good enough don’t blame him
It starts in the boardroom they have failed the fans the club and murty don’t be so delusional
Bring in the best manger under these circumstances what’s the difference going to be. same group of players same board
No money no investment no long term plan and no coming forward with there actual plans
It’s a joke end of.

15 Apr 2018 18:18:41
Sorry bud but we were heading for relegation under pedro is as far as I read 😂

16 Apr 2018 10:15:02
Me too.

15 Apr 2018 17:47:06
Murty for manager put tae bed
Martin for Rangers put tae bed
Morelas as striker put tae bed Referees are crap put tae bed
Anything tae add bears or are the usual suspects going to come on and defend the undefendable once again over to you apologists.

15 Apr 2018 18:01:14
Halliday rangers class put to bed
Dorrans Rangers class put to bed
In fact I've just put myself to bed

15 Apr 2018 18:07:37
Every one of they players at the club are scared of Celtic. I dread to think wit the score is going to be in 2 weeks.

15 Apr 2018 18:11:26
McRorie should have been hooked at half time, and how the **** Haliday started is beyond belief. Haliday reaction at being subbed was a total disgrace, get him out to fukc

15 Apr 2018 18:42:34
Not a total disgrace yes not right but he showe'd passion no else showed that. Compared to a manager who I'm hearing wouldn't go into changing room after game in case it caused friction. I'm sorry but any manager worth his salt should have been in tearing them a new one

15 Apr 2018 18:51:07
Are you kidding mr bassy? Halliday started to allow dorrans to play further forward, did dorrans play further forward? NO HE DIDN'T did Halliday miss a tackle? NO HE DIDN'T did mcrorie and martin? YES THEY DID, did morales miss another open goal? YES HE DID.
ONE PLAYER IN OUR TEAM HAD FIGHT IN HIS BELLY AND that's THE PLAYER YOU PICK ON. YOU mr bassy are a DISGRACE.

15 Apr 2018 19:09:05
Haliday is pish mate, just before he was subbed he lost the ball and tried to pass the blame on

15 Apr 2018 19:12:59
Well said Jyf

15 Apr 2018 19:42:17
Who cost us the game today mr bassy Halliday?

15 Apr 2018 20:16:07
No the whole team were poor and we sat off them from the start, and if you read my original post it says how McRorie should have been hooked at ht and Haliday shouldn’t be starting, his reaction at being subbed

15 Apr 2018 17:37:42
Listen see all the rubbish about oh murty needs to go
It was murty that brought us back into this league otherwise we were looking at relegation under caxina
It's not his fault - he was brought in form the youth squad - the board had the chance to change things in January but decided to save the pennies -
Murty for his level of ability and knowledge of the game has done his best

It's a joke end of.

15 Apr 2018 17:45:30
Realistically we were never in the league and yes murty is to blame. Piss Poole performances vs your bibs twice Dundee Hamiltons etc proved he is not the man.

Unfortunately u seem to be the new breed of rangers fan who happily accept potentially being in a title race we were never in as improvement. Sad sad times when we now accept a very poor u20 manager has what it takes to be the main man.

15 Apr 2018 18:10:36
We do need regime change and rid of dodgy Dave, we also need a proper manager, we need rid of at least 8 players, Halliday, martin, Herrera, Pena, rossiter, alves, holt, goss. Millions of pounds wasted in the last few years. Shocking state we're in

15 Apr 2018 19:32:29
We need a regime change 😄just who would that be, name all the would be owners that are sitting waiting to take over. We need to go out and spend some money next year on a manager my own choice would be Alex Neil, the players we have are not all bad but lack firm management and tactical nous, today they were so low in confidence it was obvious from the first couple of minutes, confidence is so important that’s what takes ordinary players and gets them to perform to a higher level, that is instilled by the manager. Graham Murty always comes across as being nervous . Brendan Rodgers must have burst out laughing when he saw the team sheet Mcrorie at centre half and Halliday in midfield, pathetic.

15 Apr 2018 19:50:11
Rabc1000- murty to blame he took over a shocking squad of players - read my post the board had the chance to channge it - they are the ones that decided to keep murty in a job not me and certainly not you.
They are to blame not the man that’s been left to try pick up the pieces after the Portuguese
Am I wrong?
We the fans all knew what we were getting with murty he’s not a miracle worker and he had no experience he has done his best end of
The rangers job at any period of time is a huge job and under the circumstances of the past 6 years makes it a different beast all
Together
The board need to be changed something needs to be changed let’s not let it lie at murty door he’s not the making of this disaster and we all know it

15 Apr 2018 17:29:12
A sad day for us supporters the board have a lot to answer for wanting an increase on season tickets

15 Apr 2018 17:39:38
Like any business overheads will have increased. But if it allows them to buy decent players, I'm happy to pay a little more.

15 Apr 2018 19:15:16
If your happy to pay more no questions asked then fair play. But u are exactly the kinday of supporter this board wants. Serious questions of where we are headed need to benable asked and answered

15 Apr 2018 17:19:47
ED033 Supercooper wants another poll
Should Rangers fans vote for a CUT in ticket allocation in any further game involving Celtic, so that fewer Rangers fans can witness being humiliated?
Yes
No
Or Give out Samaratins number.

15 Apr 2018 17:40:38
Haha hibs are already cutting rangers tickets

15 Apr 2018 17:43:17
Lol that was murder to watch on TV let alone being there.

15 Apr 2018 17:46:45
With his continued support of murty the poll should be is super Cooper really a celtic fan

15 Apr 2018 17:55:43
Cheers Timallay. you could have been harsher! We looked solid at half time!

I could focus on numerous things but my anger is with Murty taking off Halliday with 5 mins to go to half time. i'm still fuming. To do that to any player never mind an honest died in the wool Rangers man is shocking.

15 Apr 2018 18:02:21
But halliday, regardless of how died in the wool he is, is honking mate.

I'd be raging he's anywhere near a team I support.

Luckily, he's not 😂

15 Apr 2018 18:09:27
Not bothered he took the huff. He's useless. Don't rate him at all. I think we have been blinded by these so called rangers fans in team. All murder today.

15 Apr 2018 19:06:35
Dutch - Can you please tell me what Haliday did in the opening 40 mins that merited him staying on? I can only imagine that haliday's main role today was to man mark scott brown - to ensure he wasn't able to get on the ball. He was strolling about as if he was on holiday! Haliday shouldn't have been on the park to start with (and don't get me started withj Dorrans)

15 Apr 2018 20:30:53
zikos Halliday did not cost us the game martin did and mcrorie did but not a complaint Oh and morellos should be no where near Ibrox.

16 Apr 2018 11:36:17
Jyf- you are totally right. If Murty could have made more that the allocated 3 changes in sure Martin would have been one of them. However up until his removal from the ptich. What exactly did Haliday co tribute? FA the same as the other so called Bluenose! We need to get rid of this small club mentality that says that because a player supports Rangers as a club then we should sign them. We need to sign players good enough to play for Rangers. I can't remember any talk of who Laudraup, Hately, McCall, Goram etc etc etc supported. It didn't matter then and it shouldn't now.

15 Apr 2018 17:07:23
Well that was a well deserved result for a number of reasons.
King pulling the carpet from under Murty midweek was bound to set up this type of reaction from the players. Murty might not have been the manager going forward, who knows. But every manager will have players who support them or are against them, just the nature of the business. King empowered the detractors and confused the supporters of Murty within the dressing room. So a mess all round even before kickoff. Pretty niave move from King, should've kept his mouth shut. King comments were a virtual assassination of Murty's ambition. Murty tried not to lose today instead of trying to win. Why would a decent manager come anywhere near Rangers with limited funds and this kind of support from the board.
We need a quality center half. It's a problem that McRorie is our best option. It is going to cost us second place and maybe third for that matter. The DOF handling of Bates. Again Bates being a rangers player is up for debate, but letting a young player of "some" value away for nothing is terrible. Bates' speed allowed Tav to get up the field more often and his injury has really stapled Tav to the back line because Martin and Alves don't have the speed to provide cover.
The Lack of depth and leadership really is what set us apart from Celtic right now. This game was about confidence and there was NONE in light blue. Also doesn't help that Miller is speculating about who he's going to play for next season instead of getting focused on this game, i thought he would have had the leadership to keep the youngsters in line today. Too many young players getting regular time on the field that wasn't earned. Docherty hasn't played well the past few weeks. Both he and Dorrans (leadership? ) played too deep and too passive to be effective but who do you replace them with? I could understand Halliday's reactions, was he actually the worst midfielder at the time of his substitution, it's certainly debateable. Candeias was off today and he's had a couple of these this season but again, his spot is safe without competition to keep him sharp. No one could complete a pass with a Celtic player within ten yards of the ball.
What does it say about Cummings that he can't get a spot on the field with this team. lots of things to address this off season.

15 Apr 2018 17:21:00
King was right murty is clueless Alves would not have lost the fi rst 2 goals jalliday is not rangers clasd

15 Apr 2018 17:40:23
Alves would have been off injured by the time the first goal was scored. He's got to protect himself for a potential world cup call up, not risk injury for this club. Which players on this squad are Rangers class? I am struggling to find them. Maybe Tav?

15 Apr 2018 16:56:48
Right am now more than ever convinced Scottish footie is in the gutter and we are heading towards league of Ireland and league of wales standard. Here need our guys before you all jump down my neck.
Sellick no disrespect to them are rubbish end of and that's because they have no challenge what's so ever from the so called big 5 Scottish clubs, Aberdeen are total bottles that are afraid to drop the piggy bank, Hearts are just happy to be in the top 6,Jobs having a hood season but will be back to mediocre next season and we have never really recovered from our fall from grace.
Now look at it this way when we were doing 9 in a row during the 90s we did have an got a challenge every season. When Aberdeen were the team they was in the 80s, they were challenged right to the end. Same goes for Sellick during the 60s and early 70s, they got a real challenge.
Now fast forward to the last 5-6 years and what is there Sweet FA.
Now look 5 years from now and what we will see is a great and proud football nation losing it identity and stadium if we are lucky will be less than half full. that's the scenario we are looking at unless we all start getting our house in order and get the big 5 to challenge again or else like I say we will be supporting our local rugby teams.

15 Apr 2018 17:09:09
ScotGer good idea to deflect Rangers poor performance as a reflection of Scottish football. what great proud and football nation? Not qualified for a tournament in 20 years. If you want this proud football nation then teams like Rangers need to be better so start there. Celtic are poor, well what does that say about Rangers and other teams? Tangers are a shadow of the old team. If Celtic ate poor, God help Rangers

15 Apr 2018 18:24:45
Thats my point johnnymac55 we are so poor that we are making teams that are not much better look like world beaters. Yes we was a proud football nation and standards have been slipping for a great number of years, that's why I mentioned the decaded from before to show how far we have fell and I believe Scottish football is in series decline and no am not trying o deflect how terrible we was today

15 Apr 2018 16:52:18
These guys are ment to be professionals! When you compare the energy and fight the Motherwell players displayed yesterday to that non event today, you have to assume the players are not with Murty. Final blame must lay with King and the board however. As he seems keen on making statements, King might want to come out and let us know his plans.

15 Apr 2018 16:43:07
Just watching the Murty Interview on TV and there is no clearer evidence of a manager who has lost a dressing room. Both Players and Manager not good enough

15 Apr 2018 16:55:54
Murty saying it’s a bit raw to go in and talk about the game it will only cause conflict! GET IN THERE AND HAVE A GO! No leaders on or off the park! Acceptance of defeats like this are what proves we are miles off it

15 Apr 2018 17:04:28
It was like watching a man who was frightened to tackle the problem and the Reaction of Candeas and Haliday proves there is no respect for Murty and they think they can challenge the Manager

15 Apr 2018 16:34:11
Hurting so bad worst rangers performance for along time I honestly believe Murty has lost dressing room not one player played today it's been there last few games . we will listen to same old rubbish again

15 Apr 2018 16:52:21
True ally. when players like candu as call the manager a a. e when submitted it tells me murty has lost the dressing room. King should do the guy a favour and get him out of there.

15 Apr 2018 17:02:06
I'm rewriting previous post. when players like candias call the manager a a. e it tells me murty has lost the dressing room. King should do the guy a favour and get him out of there .

15 Apr 2018 16:27:47
Players should be fined. Money to a charity. This is not how you represent Rangers.

15 Apr 2018 16:24:03
Today's performance and result should finally put to bed any more nonsense about murty being the answer as manager. Plenty of players posted missing again today. Not good enough from top to bottom. Sorry state of affairs

15 Apr 2018 16:27:49
Taking Halliday off with 5 mins to half time is a disgrace. He was not the worst and to embarrass a player like that is shocking. And what a difference Windass made ehh. Not a tackle worth note on Brown aw day from anybody . unacceptable.

15 Apr 2018 16:28:35
Anyone who seriously thinks murty or half this team are good enough after that is beyond me! We have got worse since Pedro left and that is saying something! NEXT APPOINTMENT MUST BE RIGHT MR KING

15 Apr 2018 16:31:46
Sure supercooper won’t agree he probably thinks that’s acceptable

15 Apr 2018 16:35:47
Dutch. Totally agree mate. Nothing was going to happen in the final minutes of the first half so no need for the change at that time. At 1-0 then maybe but not at 2-0. To do that to a professional is an embarrassment. I like Murty as a person but that’s a decision he should never have made.

15 Apr 2018 16:46:29
Halliday should not have started on the 1st place and I was amazed certain people on here who know who they are wanted him to play

15 Apr 2018 16:20:18
Can't defend Murty after that. Got to go. He's got no fight left in him neither does the team. Embarrassed from the whole club.

15 Apr 2018 16:21:24
What about the players?

15 Apr 2018 16:29:06
What about the players RFCCHRIS? . did u say that about McInnes? . NAW

15 Apr 2018 16:06:15
Why is it when we win comfortably against teams then change our team selection the following week. That man Murty is clueless it’s also sad to say the first player on the team sheet should’ve been Kenny Miller

15 Apr 2018 16:38:56
When we get beat he leaves same team in following week. When we win he changes. Fckn clueless.

15 Apr 2018 16:51:06
Because murty is a sap He sits and reads what the fans say week to week and does that to try suck up and get them on his side to get the job. It's no coincidence it's happens to many times fans saying to drop moralos and start Cummings the very next game he did that then again with Alves for Martin then over the last week people on social media plucked Hallidays name from nowere all of a sudden he starts um.

15 Apr 2018 15:47:37
Hook zmorelos now.

15 Apr 2018 16:40:05
guessing
udont like him of all the players that were rubbish u pick on him

15 Apr 2018 15:31:52
Wish halliday showed as much passion when he was on the pitch

15 Apr 2018 16:36:47
Halliday is the person

15 Apr 2018 15:23:29
This is the worst yet! Embarrassing to watch, nobody even looking like they want to win . Shambles!

15 Apr 2018 15:35:59
Unfortunately if we don, t get Major in investment in the summer, we will have to put up with this CRAP for years to come (& a lot of us great fans will start losing interest) .

15 Apr 2018 15:15:13
Shocking

15 Apr 2018 15:16:34
Amateur at best total pish

15 Apr 2018 15:20:52
Super cooper all I have heard is about Murty? To set your team up like that is a disgrace and he doesn’t know what he’s doing! Still think he’s up for job? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

15 Apr 2018 15:22:12
Pathetic and appalled at what iv just seen. No heart and no clue. Disgrace. WE DESERVE BETTER

15 Apr 2018 15:22:33
Yep totally shocking 25000 fans in the stadium and 11 players on the park can't even muster a challenge? can't pass, can't tackle, no heart don't care. Fans deserve better

15 Apr 2018 15:23:32
Time for King, Board and DOF to come out and explain to the Best Fans in the world what the hell they are going to do about this horrendous Mess for next season (they need to stop hiding) I feel sorry for Murty.
This is simply not good enough wasting the Fans hard earned money, something needs to change and fast.

15 Apr 2018 15:25:00
That 433 shape was never going to work! They can’t get on the ball and when they don’t have it they can’t get near them. Not one winner in the middle of the park. Totally leaderless on the park.

15 Apr 2018 15:25:45
Let’s get serious! Murty isn’t a manager! Get someone with experience and tactical awareness in! Guys like Halliday aren’t good enough, why he is even still here never mind playing is beyond me! Russell Martin is terrible and the midfield are weak and have no heart! We have one very good player in Morelos and he gets no support! The set up here has cost us and it has absolutely nothing to do with kings statement

15 Apr 2018 15:33:53
Feel sorry for murrty no chance he picked the team its his tactics
he had his chance and blew it

15 Apr 2018 15:59:24
Yep murtys line up his tactics and was never a 4 3 3 either. More of a very deep lying 451. Subbing halliday either makes no difference could have just put dorrans where windas playing . Quicker he resigns the better.

15 Apr 2018 16:03:28
Feel sorry for Murty are you mad feel sorry for us. That is the worst performance i have witnessed in years and it began before kick off no belief

15 Apr 2018 14:56:33
Can anyone explain the tactics being employed today, I'm at a loss.

15 Apr 2018 15:03:07
What tactics! this is a nightmare clueless absolutely clueless halliday candias dorrans all passengers of they score again soon this is a real doing coming out way

15 Apr 2018 15:09:52
I am also at a loss to what we are trying to do today, until now all we, ever done is gift them posession and stand back and admire them playing. I haven, t seen 1 decent challenge on them so far, if this doesn’t, t change the Game will be over by halftime.
Need changes now Alves on, McCorie DM and Doran’s further forward, the performance so far has been simply awful!
All this Team can do is give the ball away cheaply (been saying this about 50 times every game this season), simply not good enough for Glasgow Ranges.

15 Apr 2018 15:12:26
By the way please, please, please give Martin a First class single back to Norwich NOW!

15 Apr 2018 15:14:41
Let Bates go, keep Martin. who’s idea was that 😐

15 Apr 2018 15:23:07
Martin is murder. Send him back ASAP.

15 Apr 2018 15:28:41
What a shambles. No creativity what so ever. Martin can't handle the game, he is rubbish
Haliday Dorrans and candias☹☹☹ . Sorry but 442. Tactics should have changed after 20 minutes.

15 Apr 2018 14:03:15
There is not another team on the planet that would pick Russel Martin over bruno Alves! He is not as good and I think in the past few games he has actually played worse than Alves as well.

15 Apr 2018 14:15:23
Are you Alves’ lover. All you do is rattle on about how good he is. He’s past it, he’s been playing non stop for the past few years because of euros and world cups. He sits too deep and invites teams onto us when the rest of the defenders want to play higher. He lumps the ball forward. The only positive I will say is that he wins every header that comes near him. But overall, you have to admit he hasn’t lived up to the expectations.

15 Apr 2018 14:33:40
He is just in a weak team paulo maldini would struggle with this little puff midfield in front of him the defenders will always get slagged untill we sort that out. Also passed it? I saw him play for Portugal the other week and was solid and comfortable and last season in serie a he was confertable so he is not past it. And he played very well in the last old firm game Russel Martin is crap always has been.

15 Apr 2018 14:56:13
Mccrories having a bit of a nite. are out there so far . Keeps getting caught wrong side

15 Apr 2018 15:14:37
The defenders are getting run ragged as they are just walking straight through are midfield easy as anything that's exactly what I was saying and there is no way on the planet you can't tell me Martin was a better option than Alves and Halliday was a terrible decision. Murty really is clueless worse than warbs and Pedro.

15 Apr 2018 13:38:40
Halliday in looks like we have added extra man in midfield.

15 Apr 2018 16:31:27
So I get disagrees after saying a doing could be on the cards. I'd say 4-0 going on however many they felt like was a doing. Surely puts an end to the notion of Murty getting the job, although after today who'd want it given the massive gulf in class.

15 Apr 2018 11:02:17
I've noticed the hype this time around has been almost non existent, none of the usual nonsense being spouted in the media, could it be that the players are actually focused on the task at hand here and will do the talking on the pitch? I am quietly confident today, I know we are up against it but there's just something telling me today is the day! I'm getting nothing but poo from their supporters and I'm ITCHING to ram pie in their faces, COME ON RANGERS time to finally put them in their places, I just really hope murty has learned from the previous game and isn't afraid to change things when needed

15 Apr 2018 12:20:49
Feeling pretty confident myself and that hasn't been the case for years in this fixture.

Hopefully that dud Boyata plays and has a howler like he did last time around then we must have a chance. Best of luck to Murts and the boys and hope our fans lucky enough to get a ticket have a day to remember!

15 Apr 2018 10:20:57
Semi final day bears/ bearettes hope we all have a reason to celebrate come full time but if we don't just remember to stay safe as the world will still be rotating tomorrow:) .
Oh and by the way I got 4/ 1 on Rangers inside 90 minutes so it's probably only us bears that believe we can do it.

15 Apr 2018 08:46:45
All being said lads I think that we need to hope that the thellick don't turn up today. We need a shot in the arm from somewhere. It could happen-McCrorie could play holding mid and boss the game or Morelos could just click. Let's hope so.

15 Apr 2018 09:07:07
Don't think we need to worry what Celtic turns up what I think is we need to worry what Rangers turn up. If we play at top of our game we have every chance.
Team for me.
Fods
Tav Martin McCorrie John

Docherty Halliday

Candy Dorrans Murphy

Morelos

Subs. Alnwick Alves Holt Goss Cummings Miller Middleton

15 Apr 2018 09:47:46
I will be going to game with hope but I think if we win this one it would be a huge upset, we need investment and a lot we need better players and a top class manager yes Murty has steadied the ship but we need more than that, it’s a huge ask we were ahead twice at home to them and they were down to ten men but we still lost it that will have dented the confidence of the team we need all players to turn up today and give their all then maybe just maybe we could dig a result out

15 Apr 2018 09:55:51
Id play Miller from the start.

15 Apr 2018 10:13:32
Think Miller will start if Windass still out don't think that that will be the team just what I would play

15 Apr 2018 11:34:25
Fods
Tav Martin McCrorie John
Dorrans Halliday
Candy Miller Murphy
Morelos

Who I reckon Murty will go with. Docherty was way off the pace against Dundee and Halliday did well. Holt seems to not fancied so Halliday maybe to come in for Doc.

15 Apr 2018 12:52:31
How can anyone want Halliday to play he is pure mince he get knocked of the ball all the time and loses the ball, does nobody remember how rubbish he was for us went on loan and could not even get a game we do not need him in the team today

15 Apr 2018 06:56:01
