Now that Rangers have won an ugly, in the mud, blood and guts game - how do you see the season progressing?

I am looking at the remaining fixtures and am finding it difficult to pick out what game it is that we will drop points in. Yesterdays game was a tremendous 'cup' game - it reminded me of the games in the seventies with John Gregg and the mud and the rain. I have said it before and I will say it again, Ally is (without mentioning it, or focusing on it) trying to win every game. It is achievable, so it is, very achievable.

Take every game as it comes Ally - cannot wait till next Saturday.

{Ed039's Note - You should be struggling to see games where we will drop points, because in the grand scheme of things, we really shouldnt be dropping points to these teams with the squad we have. I am not saying we should go the whole season winning every game, but when you look at the fixture list and what we have at our dosposal then we shouldnt be dropping points and when we do, regardless of whether we are 10,20 or 30 points clear, there will be an inquest)

We really shouldn't drop any points but I feel that's being a bit unfair to the other teams as I thought Brechin were terrific yesterday. Bad weathers on its way which will bring some interesting playing conditions and other teams will be playing out of their skins to break our unbeaten record so plenty of banana skins await us. Really wish we would play Templeton and Clark though. I can't for the life of me imagine why Templeton isn't starting unless he is carrying an injury or something.

{Ed039's Note - I am in no way saying that points arent going to be dropped, what I am saying is there is no games on that fixture list we should be looking at and thinking tou ourselves we might drop points in this game or that game because the gulf in quality is so vast, and the money being spent is on another level)

Taggy?

It is good that we can win ugly on difficult playing surfaces and tight parks. I have no doubt that every game is a cup final, and that is as it should be. We are the big team after all. However, this is a truly surreal time and we can never say never. We are now through a quarter of the games - I think it is 27 to go. I am not saying we will win every game, hope so, but you never know. The more that teams set out their stall to try and beat us, because of who we are and our 100% record, then they will be left open - live the dream is what I say.

As for Templeton, you said it yourself, we don't know why he is not playing. Ally is trying to give each and every one a chance, and I hope he does it without losing the balance of the team.

the thing is I am enjoying were the team is and I am enjoying the football. I love the ugly games, especially when we win it - bring it on!

@2 "ally is trying to give each and every one a chance"- Erm I wonder if Gasparato and wee Barry McKay agree with you?
Youth and experience please Mr McCoist otherwise we may as well shut Murray Park and sell it to Tesco at least then it would be contributing to the massive hole in the finances. Personally speaking we need it now more than ever and at least half the team should be products that were developed in the facility. This year I would have had McLeod, MacKay, McAusland, Gasparato and Aird that won't happen but it has to in the near future- please god.

Ally is playing the young players, but he can't play them all at once or all the time - this way is called developing the team.

If Ally played these players and they got beat Ally would be hounded by the likes of you.

I take pride in knowing my team are doing there utmost to continue their winning streak, and as Ally stated getting on with the football whilst the boardroom is in meltdown.

I find it difficult to see the stance people like you are taking and for what reason. Once the club has stability on and off the field their will no doubt be a soul searching for all to determine what is best for Rangers, it's football and it's fans - just now is not the time.

{Ed039's Note - I agree he cant play all young players all of the time, but I cant agree with the other point, that we need stability first and THEN we will determine what is best for Rangers, this should have been done long ago and should have been top of the agenda for every director that has entered the front doors at Ibrox)

@4 for £14. 40 million reasons. No need to reply let's just agree to differ thank you

'Once the club has stability on and off the field their will no doubt be a soul searching for all to determine what is best for Rangers, it's football and it's fans - just now is not the time'.

Absolutely spot on. Too many people aiming their grievances towards the footballing side, where it should be directed elsewhere.

#3) I posted at the start of the season that we would not see much of the McKays (in particular), gasperattos, aird etc & was roundly shot down. My opinion hasn't changed. despite what might or might not happen in the next couple of months with 'the club', I personally think AM doesn't have a plan B. Plan A consists of playing as many of this seasons signings as possible or are almost fit, and don't take chances with anybody else.
should be interesting once injury & suspension & bad weather kick in.

If as expected & christian purslow becomes rangers new chief executive then when he starts to file through the mess and fix it he'll start to look at the football side of things and he's very friendly with & rates ict manager terry butcher very highly and will look to make terry butcher the new manager of rangers, if not quickly it'll be when we get back to the scottish premiership, that's what I've heard through the grapevine, what do my other fellow 'gers fans think?

I think t. b would be a great appointment. No player would dare undermine or give any less than 110% under his reign. But I just don't see it happening my friend. Think mccoist is here for the long haul.

Ally will be here to we reach the top then big tel will be in blue teddy

Sorry but I do not have any enthusiasum for Terry Butcher as much as I still love his contribution to RFC. Our proiroty is the reinstatement of a credible board before we even think about changing our management team.

If Ally needs to move up or on then it would be Billy Davies, for me, without a doubt - oozes class.

Op this terry b thing has been mentioned on here lots of times and most people including myself can't see it happening
