Our caretaker manager MUST immediately be placed on gardening leave because he doesn't want to be there and his team selection & tactics are no different to mccoist's, this change has to be made now because if it doesn't we have no chance of getting into the premiership even through the play offs, I was at hampden today and although celtic were no great shakes I thought we were very poor and we're absolutely diabolical at taking set pieces and that mostly comes down to coaching or lack of it, I suggest we go and bring in a new manager at least until the end of the season ie. someone currently out of work, a stuart mccall or a billy davies, with different ideas any of these two would improve our chances of promotion

Here here, a was told today a striker that never featured today asked mccoist wee while ago why he wasn't selected, the answer was because a pick team an u don't look sharp enough. Boy said how can I get fit when we play five a side an don't work on tactics. he's was dropped by the guy that signed him an his mate won't play him either. A winger we have can't get a run in team was dropped for raith game few month ago chapped door, asked mccoist why am a not in squad his answer. They beat us last year, we are going defensive. This is why we are at times over ran way butchers an postmen over last few year. Mcdowell an his mate mccoist don't have a clue. We are rangers an we are going defensive?? Raith rovers??. Allys to blame for state we are in. Like it or no, he signed best players from other scottish clubs an took them backwards. Fact. No wonder they didn't want to play for him. Nae confidence in him or his sidekick kenny. We awe know, sheils, temp, law, daly clark, boyd zaliukas where best players at their teams an came to us, an then at amature hour training went downhill. Chase kenny an get a guy that never got badges at largs.

Jr, a think mickey mouse incharge would be better than the last two. Its unreal he picks the same duds an expects a performance out the same guy fae 5 weeks ago. A thought at hibs game when he hooked black (never a fitbaw player) after half hour he made a big statement an a thought right, guy way baws, knows he's no good enough. He actually knows f all. Mcdowell, durrant, simonsen, foster, black, faure, smith, daly, miller can f off wY him. Rest have untill summer then room for another 7 can go tae.

Perfectly put I could not agree more. Faure was also a good european player with a skill set and a hard player too. He summed up training and lax regime perfectly see what happened to him / Petty support of ally by mcdowall Faure in centre defence was an obvious choice yesterday if he were not ally black balled. mccoist was the exact opposite to a great manager. A great manager cultivates the areas in a players game to bring the best out in them. He gives them confidence, sends them on field with a game plan and a will to fight for the team and even his manager eg Alex Ferguson a hard and very strict man but his players died for him on the park. Advocaat and Barry Ferguson is a good examle he spotted his ability at 18 and brought the best out him, he made him into a great player. I can imagine Barry Ferguson on loan to Cowdnbeath and supermanager playing some 35 year old donkey pal of his instead is what would have happened.

The boardroom fraud/mismanagement is the worst thing to EVER happen to Rangers FC as a business and Ally McCoist as a 'manager' is the worst thing ever to happen to Rangers as a football team.

Feel relieved for the young lad McLeod he at least saved his career escaping the Mismanagers Ltd at Rangers

For any Rangers team to not register a single shot on target against their arch enemies is nothing short of disgraceful. It makes no difference that the current squad are not a patch on any squad in previous years, that statistic is unacceptable. The management along with the senior players must shoulder the blame for what, if the truth be told, was a stroll in the park for a Celtic side who were never, throughout the 90 minutes, put under any pressure whatsoever. Scottish Champions! Europe! Champions League! not for a few years yet, if at all, and certainly not at all until there is a complete change from top to bottom.

McDowall is a clown and is even more incompetent than Ally was. He has just copied ally's tactics, used the same players and same formation and if they didn't work for Ally why would they work for him?

01 Feb 2015 18:52:42
A poor display today but the result wasn't as embarrassing as it could have been.

We lack quality throughout. You could say that all of the midfield had no idea what to do, they aren't used to people closing theM down quickly! Hutton seemed rattled by Brown early on and couldn't control the ball as he thought Brown was after him.
We didn't have any shots at goal really but I can't really blame the strikers. The midfield didn't create anything for them.
Rangers have always had a playmaker like Ferguson, Mendes, Davis, gazza, Gio, to dictate play and get things moving. From there we built a team around them. We don't have that.
to become a decent side rangers need to get someone in who they can build the team around. but with no money and the club in bits I have no idea what they will do.

Obviously simmo will be out of contract soon, which is good. Bell can do a good job in goals.
The defence is terrible. Mcculloch is not and has never been a defender. We need one experienced defender to teach the others how to defend. I would love it to be Cueller as he is out of contract this summer. But again We have no money.

major changes needed, but we need some money to do this. So no idea how long it will take to get back up to challenging those lot. I guess 4 to 5 years.

CBeattie at last a realistic supporter you summed your team up unlike your manager who said "he rued missed chances" er what game was he watching our goalie was untested, also Miller saying gap is not big, sorry but Celtic stopped playing 2nd half and still your team could not get near us, your fans need to be honest otherwise the poor squad you have wil not get any better

First part of the rebuilding should be the removal of the gormless McDowall. Then all the players out of contract in the summer should go (Gasperatto apart)

Rangers were bad but Celtic weren't exactly amazing.
Celtic should be slightly embarrassed that they only beat rangers 2-0.
It is the worst Celtic team since the early 90s and the worst rangers team since I have been alive.
Scottish football is terrible to watch overall. If I wasn't a rangers fan I wouldn't consider watching Scottish football as it's so bad these days

Ona tripe pitch with 10men behind the ball Celtic scored 2, your keeper made a worldy to stop a 3rd and VVD headed over form 4 yds out and that isn't even going close to the Leigh Griffiths pullback when he was clean through. So 2-0 scoreline actually didn't reflect the game and all this talk about the worst Celtic team for years, not great yet, but RD has a plan and it is starting to come to fruition, dread to think what it would have been if it hadnt bneen a ploughed field yesterday

01 Feb 2015 16:43:34
I meant to add that I had £20 on Rangers at 7/1 and £20 on Andy Murray that I took earlier in the week at 9/2. So much for my 'super Sunday'!

DOIGER

lolol we are the last of the eternal optomists

I had Andy Murray to win in 5 sets, Rangers 1-0 and Law to score

My only hope of redemption are the New England Patriots I have them to win the Super Bowl with 15pts plus victory

i am george

Never a poor bookie and hardly surprising if you actually thought Rangers were going to win. Jeez, you have bene on here for months moaning about how bad they are and all of am sudden they were going to become the best team in Scotland!

Allymac

Gambling is about tht taking a risk on a good odds bet in the tiny hope you get a lucky break

It is why people do the lottery not because they think they know exactly what 6 random numbers are oing to pop up

No need to be a pr*ck about DOIGER's post

Very poor as said by various posters. no fight. easily pushed aside by an average team. we look shot, a watershed for all us Bears. the next three months will define our club. we need a full shake up. we have nothing to offer on the pitch. a sad state of affairs. ever hopeful the EGM will give us a future, Always a Ranger.

That clown that currently picks the team but doesn't want to be there needs to go as soon as possible. Don't know if he is trying to make a point but he is playing the same way, with the same tactics and players as Ally did. Now surely if I didn't work for him why would it work now?

Guys doing a job stewie we may be rangers but we are rangers who are 16 points behind hearts, and may have another season down championship who exactly do you think wants this job? Butcher, Davies, McCall, mccinnes or even calderwood the big names are really queuing up!

01 Feb 2015 19:07:01
Just to add to our woes 12 players out of contract at end of season no scouting system in place and a board intent on making mugs out of fans all we can do is hope for victory egm and hope to move forward .

01 Feb 2015 19:11:55
Your right Stewie I think he is just trying to be loyal to mccoist but a blind man can see it's no working it's just groundhog day no shape & no tactics we could still have been playing the now and we still wouldn't have scored.roll on the EGM

01 Feb 2015 20:20:49
@3
The fact that we have 12 "players" out of contract is the best thing and maybe the only thing going for us, they are not fit to wear the jersey and in Blacks case drive a bently at our expense. Its usually high achievers that drive Bentleys not failures.

What job is he doing then? 4 games 1 hammering, ridiculously easy win for our biggest rivals and 2 slender victories against part time opposition. The man is clueless and doesn't even want to be there. This man is already on record as saying he full endorsed all Ally did and he was sacked! It amazes me how you can come on this site and try to make a case for this man.

@2

So you know what these managers are thinking? And you know for a fact they aren't interested? Can you please provide links where the guys you have mentioned have said they don't want the job?

Hes picking the team doing a job as a says were in that is defending him stewie? Mccoist never got sacked either!

This is the names we are linked with name me a manager who a haven't mentioned and who is decent who would be interested?

01 Feb 2015 16:04:33
Well bears that has to be the worst Rangers team ever in our history against a mob that think they are billy big baws and clearly are not far off being as rotten as us. but all I can think about is how proud I was of the amazing Rangers support in full voice from half time. I still get that shiver down my spine when The Bears all sing. I hope after EGM gets sorted out we can finally start to rebuild and if done properly we can easily be back to the best as they are on a downward spiral they really are awful. it won't really take much to proper football brains to catch up and eclipse them once again. WATP

Sorry. fans may have sung well. but let Club down by trotting out just about every banned song!

SFA will be wetting themselves with excitement as they will take great pleasure in hammering us with another fine.

Club is a shambles and an embarrassment. in the boardroom, on the field and on the terraces.

I don't expect many to agree with this. but it's a fact!

Stuart can't disagree with you mate. our fand are a total embarrassment. sometimez I wonder if its actually worth it. every banned song sung for the whole world to hear. and before someone comez on and and says the other mob were at it too I don't care about them.

Well said Stuart, it is time our fans grew up. It is no wonder other clubs hate us when this moronic bile still tarnishes us all! Not in my name!

Remember guys they're NOT fans they're boycotters!! their words NOT mine

Having followed Rangers for 32 years and previously belted out all the songs good and bad I think it's time to move on. We are proud of our history and traditions but we can't keep singing the type of songs we did today.
As a father of 2 kids I would be loathed to take my boys to sit and listen to that nonsense.
Time to move on and get a clear out at Ibrox top to bottom.
Today was like watching an under 15 team play an SPL team. Weaknesses all over the park. Old guys well past the sellby date and Black in the middle, how poor was this guy, if you ever needed someone to set the tone in the middle of the park it was today and Black was poor as he is every time he has the Rangers top on.

As for the post above about big Jig talking to a Celtic player. Big Jig is a good Rangers man, yes his best days are behind him but don't knock the guy FFS as he has been a very loyal person
and has always given 100%

Sad to say Ally has left a very poor squad of players. Time for massive investment and a rebuilding job.
Let's find out how much cash we need every year to make us sustainable and build on that basis.
We may be down but Rangers will never be out.

Need a fans songbook so the old bile battle hymns are things of the past. But that would take a forward looking board willing to take on the challenge and put a business and football plan in place. We also need a team to be proud of so we can start singing again. We need a manager who can motivate the team and we need to jettison the overpaid, over the hill journeymen who masquerade as Rangers players. Big steps that need big hearts and big minds.

01 Feb 2015 15:47:07
Glad it is over and at least we didn't get humped, they looked good first half as we are pish and didn't have any semblence of a game plan. FFS you would think even by law of averages we could punt ONE ball into the box but no every time we had a chance (mostly Black) to get the ball at least into the box it was cut out by the FRONT defender not even making it into the danger area disgraceful.

At least now we can concentrate on the EGM tims do not have the 6-0 they were hoping for and we can ONLY get better. We cannot get worse. The sooner King and Bears get into power the better but also the soonest possible put us out our misery football wise and get rid of everything to do with mccoist, mcdowall, durrant and durie their lack of ability in any of required mnagement skills is BREATHTAKING no tactics, no game plan, no ability to inspire and the basic essential as a manager to be the BOSS and lead your team.

Please god can we have McInnes or McColl asap and bin 50% of the squad (at least) please bring in a load of young players and a couple of experienced QUALITY older players.

Can we possibly get a scounting system in place that is an absolute joke that we don't have one.

So fellow Bears next Friday at latest we know EGM date and can start counting down the days until we are rid of the cri*inals that have been the plague of our boardroom for 3 years

Relieved that is over

01 Feb 2015 16:20:47
I am george. always thought your posts have been honest and fair personally i'm glad the 1st game finished without the forecast battle. I thought it was simple game but celtic never got out of 1st gear

Mb888 maybe that's because they haven't got a second gear.

Never needed to find out did we? Celtic weren't great but were still very comfortable cause gers are so poor i'd imagine most gers fans are raging at that

01 Feb 2015 15:36:22
Ended up not too bad Bears no hiding n were much better in the second half, I was fearful at half time. I will say this though if we get promoted we will need a full squad I'd only keep Bell, Clark n Law. So we had better win atthe EGM because Mr King and Mr Parks consortium are our only hope, they will invest emotionally. All we will get from Ashley is loans he wwon'tdonate a penny so if they win iI hope all the butters who support them are happy with a mid table team. I am not we are Glasgow Rangers and we belong at the top, we are historically the best team in the country and it needs to stay that way.

I agree but I would keep Bell, Wallace, McGregor, Law, Clark, Templeton and recall Gaspootta, McKay and possible one two others.

McInnes in and scout the SPFL and sign 10 of best out of contract young players like Hearts have done plus pick a SPINE to build team round Centre Half, Midfielder and an Attacker like Souness did but obviously more economically in line with new board business plan

EGM please asap

i am george

Keep McGregor? why?

He is one of the better players I think we can't start with no players at all!

i am george

One of the better players? He is awful totally out of his depth against no more than average side. He isn't the answer going forward and I would rather have Gasperatto in the team than him

01 Feb 2015 22:27:50
Gasparetto maybe not bad but how can you say he is better than McGregor?
McGregor has done ok lumbered with Jig.
Why the feck is jig still in the team?
Because he has a six pack?
Reggie Kray had a six pack at 68

01 Feb 2015 15:26:51
Scott Brown. Superman!

Men (2) against boys (0)

I cannot believe you lot done a half a lap of honour for beating a poor Rangers team. Rangers teams of the past would have tanked you lot rotten, as for Scott brown class/hard my arse. go and enjoy night pal because we will soon be back better and stronger and from what I've seen of your mob then we have nothing to worry about.

01 Feb 2015 16:16:21
Royalblue, Rangers are awful. Stop the nonesense talk. At the end of the season Rangers have 13 or 14 players out of contract. They need to buy 13 new players. To get any sort of a team together Rangers are going to need to spend the thick side of £20 mill. That is just to be competative. In the meantime that assumes that they actually get out of the Championship? So take it on the chin and stop spouting the silly comments. Rangers are a mile away from where they need to be. 2/0 was a result against a poor Celtic side. And as Rangers strengthen so will Celtic. As many posters have said, why can't Rangers just start to live within their means. Well today told you why, because if they do they can forget European football for the next 5 or 6 seasons. Unless there is a big injection of funds Rangers can not move forward.

Johnnymac. Do you think I don't know how bad we are or what we need to get us back at the top table, we will not always be in the mess we are in, and I've never said anything about spending lots of money, if we had a decent manager these last few years who could have spotted a player we could have had a pick of decent youngsters like the two lads from Queens Park who got away instead of journeymen who are past it and have no sell on value if needed. we will be back and unlike you pal I will never bow to that lot in a million years, no matter what.

Johnnymac

Aberdeen have spent nowhere near that and are competing well as are Dundee United

We do not need to spend multi millions we need a good manager and a system to teach a solid squad built from the hundreds of players that are avilable from out of contract and youth development accross UK and Europe. Plus with a properly run scouting team and the use of on loan players from teams in EPL and English Championship. Look at the dhims they are tight with their cash but scouting and loan deals serves them well!

EGM and board GTF and let's start a total rebuild to try and repair 3 years of damage by crooks and mccoist/madowall/durant. I predict with confidence that NONE of our wonderful 'management' team will ever get any jobs in football ever again they are all a total joke.

i am george

01 Feb 2015 20:11:04
Royal blue you sound like a wee boy in the playground that got a smack from a big boy. It is what it is. Accept it and get on with it. VVD was pushing Rangers players over when anyone got near him. Rangers have no fight, no plan, no idea, and no quality. Not 1 shot on target in 90 minutes so you can talk about what's going to happen in the future all you want, that's called dreaming, so dream on pal.

Johnnymac. Trust me mate I am no wee boy, believe it or not I am actually in agreement with your posts about the state of the team and the shambles our club is at the moment, but you obviously can't see that. Now we can go on all night with this tit for tat or we can agree to move on and put a bad day behind us. I don't come on to this site to argue with fellow bears, even if I agree with their posts or not.

01 Feb 2015 21:30:51
I am George, Rangers already have the second highest wage bill in Scottish football. There are 14 players out of contract in the summer, so Rangers either let them go and if so they need to replace them. To replace 14 players with players capeable of competing straight away with Celtic, Aberdeen or Dundee Unt is to buy some quality, so at least £1mill per player? Or Rangers can offer them or the majority of these players new contracts and struggle for a few seasons replacing 4 or 5 a season until they get a team on the park. Aberdeen and Dundee Unt don't need 14 new players, Rangers do. Look at today, they were like schoolboys playing against men. Celtic were average and it was still no contest. Rangers need to rebuild on and off the park and it all requires cash.

Johnymac the only good think about our players is we don't need to worry about anybody tring to buy them, or them getting called back to there parent club eh.

Johnnymac


There are hundreds of out of contract players at the end of the season in the UK and Europe and there are hundreds of young players available all over the UK and Europe that would gladly want tobe part of Rangers rebuilding. Add to that on loan players being farmed out by the bigger clubsin EPL and Europe to gain some experience.

None of these require signing fees and we should be implementing a sensible wage structure from the EGM onwards so to answer your question we do not need tm lay out multi millions

Celyic and Rangers should be farming and selling clubs using a large network of football scouts

i am george

01 Feb 2015 15:18:22
Pretty poor performance, especially in the first half but the fans at Hamden have been amazing. They were pretty silent early on but the have not shut up this last 45 minutes and I do not think one of them has left the stadium early, Great to see Hamden rocking the bouncy again.

I was also just wondering why we were wearing the armbands today?

Ibrox disaster I think due to the opposition today and then

Was due to a man who passed working the turnstiles for 30 years nice touch gers

Laxley. Yes a very nice touch mate.

01 Feb 2015 14:33:44
It is quite simple Bears 3 years of Rangers most embarrassing manager and his stupid assistant that sticks with a losing formula (who the f does that?) and what you have is a team of no confidence, no motivation, no tactics and worst of all considering all I hoped for today was give 100% and fight for every ball, NO FIGHT at all.

On the board front I obviously hate whyte, green and easdales but had we at least got rid of that frankly clueless person mccoist a year ago with the rest of his diddy management team we might at least have had a footballing team.

I dread what could happen IF celtic decide to rub it in we could lose 6-0 easily.

I said before game I would take a loss today and EGM win but I at least want a fight today these players are a DISGRACE to the Rangers shirt McCulloch chatting away with Commns during game and half time WTF is he about 12k wage courtesy of mccoist JOKE Black is like a lost wee boy pushed off ball easily and the 5 passes he threw forward not one is a decent ball just hit and hope, that said mccoist/mcdowall punt the high ball up has been what we have suffered for 3 years and no change today

mccoist you should do the decent thing with your clown buddy mcdowall relinquish the disgraceful money you are both coining in still and stoping us having real manager in place

Please EGM happen and quickly so we can finally start rebuilding from the ground up I cannot believe we have just wasted 3 years we could have rebuilt a young exciting team but we are playing football we used to play in the 70s but minus the good players we had then.

Shameful display dreading them rolling over in 2nd half and a record scorline disaster I do not want to have stuck in my memory for the rest of my life

i am george

Hear hear george

Why on earth is Mccoist responsible for Mccullochs wages?

Also why should he and Mcdowall give up on the money they are entitled to and have signed contracts for just so it can be stuffed into the pockets of the bunch of scoundrals and thiefs who are running our board and bleeding our club dry?

I a g regarding the EGM have you heard anything of Mr Sarvar from USA reappearing.

George, Spot on with everything you say, but for the first time in my life I was content with the damage limitation.
Prior to the game, I let my heart rule my head, but as soon as I saw sense I knew this current bunch did not have it in them.
Now for the real battle to get our club back on track and, hopefully, the egm will see a new dawn to enable us to unite, and start a complete overhaul.

Dunc

Why eould they give up money they are bleeding from Rangers when we are in the S**T and they are a disgrace to have the cheek to call themselves a management team or coaches. in any other line of business these persons would have been fired and sued by their employers for wrongful practice and trades description.

Ask yourself this if you were in their position, particularly multi millionaire mccoist, would you be able to look any Rangers fan in the eye taking a salary of 800k for three years whilst dragging us down to the worst standard of 'fiootball' I have EVER seen in 50 years as a Rangers fan? Would you not forfit the wages after you quit to HELP us get another manager in? Esp bearing in mind the fortunes in shares on top of the wages handed over to support Green regime

I KNOW were I in that position I would not have accepted the money they are draining from our club whilst having mismanaged for 3 years TOTAL theft from us and to call themselves Rangers men or fans is disgraceful and pure lies. Only interested in themselves.

mccoist re-signed McCulloch and as we heard they were offered crazy wages way over what they should have got in 3rd and 4th divisions. total old pals act same as with durrant, mcdowall and durie

SHAMLESS THEY ARE THE LOT OF THEM

i am george

01 Feb 2015 14:29:34
The outcome of the game today is of no real importance. We are a poor poor team struggling in the Championship and I believe that the outcome of the EGM and the next 12 months will be what matters in determining whether we have a football team or not.

How can a semi final against Celtic be of no real importance? Maybe there are bigger issues however what a daft statement to make.

01 Feb 2015 19:46:34
The outcome was of no real importance in the grand scheme of things but the game and our performance or lack of it was. In my opinion.

01 Feb 2015 14:09:56
Who signed these fuds. Mr a mccoist.

Got it in one!!

This is Ally's legacy a team with no quality, no leadership and no clue. Still Ally won't be worried picking up his big salary

01 Feb 2015 14:05:44
no surprises so far then. looks like the hammering is on. just as well our defence weren't in the last war, otherwise we'd all be speaking German

Wee Bill. That's the quote of the year, thanks for putting a smile on my face.

Cheers Royalblue - nothin else for it!!

01 Feb 2015 13:59:10
Black really is useless. He is getting thrown about like a teddy in a washing machine.

01 Feb 2015 12:43:57
I see that Black returns to the team today. Any thoughts Bears? I'm a bit concerned that he might end up with a red card. Can't see what other team McDowall could have picked thought maybe Templeton or Shiels instead of Aird?

Would have liked to have seen Jig play as holding midfield instead of Hutton. But I agree, looking at the bench, the options really are limited. Looks about the best we could have done.

01 Feb 2015 13:23:38
Well kick off is almost here , my first old firm match was the 1970 league cup final,hope the team plays well but I must admit I'm worried, if Black let's us down today by getting sent off he should never kick another ball in a rangers jersey,there are just too many players we need to rise above the level they have played at this year ,just hope if we lose we do it with dignity and remember there will be many more battle ahead that will be more important the big one is the EGM.Fingers crossed.

01 Feb 2015 11:29:01
Is it only old firm banter getting posted today Ed or was my last post about Sebo just to far outrageous to be posted?

{Ed001's Note - no post about Sebo came through.}

No bother mate, thanks for the reply.
It was pretty long winded and if it was a couple of beers earlier, I might re write it haha. Thanks anyway.

{Ed001's Note - sorry mate.}

Tried to reply earlier and didn't work again so obviously a problem on my end.

I seen Sebo in the Record today and checked his Wpedia page. It says he is only 30 and has been without a club for the last 2-3 years. Was just wondering if this was true as I know it's not 100% accurate on there. Was wondering if anyone knew what he had been up to recently?

{Ed001's Note - might be a bad connection, that causes a lot of messages to go missing.}

01 Feb 2015 09:53:18
Morning follow Bears just had a wee look at the great unwasheds banter page they're quite literally running scared never seen so many excuses being made, worried we will park the bus and sneak a goal and hang on for a win, the state of the pitch, the ref giving us dubious penalties, even the old bill get a mention and all this for a game against one of the worst Rangers sides in our illustrious history it would seem none of them got a nights kip hope there team had nightmares to and continues long into the afternoon. C"mon the Gers give it your all and make us proud we can't ask anymore than that. For all Bears attending today be safe and enjoy also Godbless young Jak all our thoughts are with you and your family. WATP.

01 Feb 2015 08:43:12
put this season aside wipe the board clean this is different us verses them time to show up boys turn in to men we can do this we are the people c'mon gers

31 Jan 2015 19:23:50
I don't want to sound like a damp squib, but if we are truly honest are we going to beat an ordinary team tomorrow with the most disfunctional set of players ever to pull on the famous jersey. They are rank rotten, but we are so bad that we are 7-1 against. As a youth in the 50's/60's, I was brought with comic 'super-heroes' and some were the sporting kind. Our only hope is that we find an Alf Tupper, a wee Bandy or a Roy of the Rovers to-morrow and stick it right up the arrogant bunch of nothings from the east end. We might be a shambles from top to bottom but we are the Glasgow Rangers and have overcome bigger adversities in our history. As I was told, many years ago by a much respected Scottish manager '' As long as you come off after 90 minutes having given your all, then I can ask no more. '' So all I ask the Rangers team tomorrow is exactly that.
