Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


23 Oct 2016 22:15:41
Just read the post match pants and I have to say I'm tired of the, 'we're narrowing the gap' and 'we outplayed them' nonsense. Celtic were the better team and we were LUCKY to escape with such a narrow margin. At least have the class to tell it like it is and to recognise the better team.



23 Oct 2016 23:58:39
@pie&Bovril - 100% agree. Better team won. We offered absolutely nothing in attack even bringing on 3 forwards as sub's.



23 Oct 2016 21:58:21
People want changes in January as I've said we have more than enough to finish 2nd in league truth is we are using players in wrong positions and wrong system! Players are no where near fit! This is inexcusable and the buck stops with warbs! Never thought I would say this but if he can't see get players fit and see that our system is not getting the best from the players then what is point of him being there! Hodson came in today and was best player for us so why hasn't he featured more often! Too many simple fixes that don't seem to be getting adressed.



23 Oct 2016 22:40:03
Gilks was the best player for us today.



23 Oct 2016 23:48:34
He sure was if it wasn't for him it would have been same as last time can't believe Warburton thinks we are closing the gap. it was a embarrassment and lucky to have been just 1 goal.



24 Oct 2016 08:51:55
Matt gilks and clint hill were the best rangers players against celtic yesterday. They were head and shoulders above the rest. Although i do think kiernan and halliday had decent games with wee holt imo being our most dangerous player. I thought our midfield was overrun as we had 3 against their 4/ 5 in their at times, that's a hard ask for any midfield to cope with that imbalance!



23 Oct 2016 21:14:23
To the person who said we should by Quintongo, that's an incredible shout, I'm a Morton man and he would actually be a fantastic signing, Morton want decent money though, turned down a hundred grand from Doncaster already. But just saying, that's a brilliant suggestion.



23 Oct 2016 22:03:27
Spoc

Sure it would be far less than the money wasted on Garner.



23 Oct 2016 22:23:11
I thought we should have signed him in the summer, he could be long term replacement for miller, i'd be happy enough paying upto what we paid for dodoo because quintoungo is a future star 100%.



24 Oct 2016 00:10:53
He really is something special. When you see him in the flesh (or on telly when we do well enough to get on the box) you can see his movement matched with raw pace and strength combine to make a really explosive threat! Something like a Darcheville.



24 Oct 2016 06:16:49
I remember loads of fans saying the same about Nicky Clarke.



23 Oct 2016 20:19:21
Like many of you guys on here i was very down coming away from hampden today. Firstly my honest assessment was the best team won the game albeit a very late goal. I have to though however mention that i truly thought big clint hill had a terrific game for us this afternoon. I also thought big rob kiernan had a good game beside hill and looked decent as a centre half pairing. Matt gilks was superb and although i'm a big fan of barrie mckay i truly thought he was by far our worst player today and warbs now needs to drop him as his place seems guaranteed and shouldn't be. Andy halliday gave everything and there's not much more than you can ask of him, he had a good game as did wee holt who was our most creative player imo, thoughts please fellow bears? What the hell does MOH need to do to get a chance in our team?



23 Oct 2016 21:29:56
What did we create today? How many saves did Gordon make? They dominated us for the entire 90 mins and Brown strolled through the game. As for complimenting a player for giving everything is that not a minimum requirement in these games?



23 Oct 2016 21:35:15
Mckay should be left out for a few games hodson dodoo crooks windass all needs a decent run.



23 Oct 2016 21:37:24
I am absolutely sick of Warbs not playing MOH.
He is treating the boy with total disrespect.
We were worse after his subs today. His stubborness is equal to Strachans.
We are going backwards.
Forget January window as it is players nobody wants
Sickened.



23 Oct 2016 21:39:04
Listen mate don't try and patronise me. Andy halliday had a good game and gave everything OK! My praise of holt was anything good we did coming forward came through him ok! In saying halliday gave everything i was just acknowledging and appreciating the guys effort for the team ok! Lastly i did say in my post that the best team won, again OK!



23 Oct 2016 22:00:08
Your delusional supercooper. We were totally dominated the whole game and had it not been for the keeper and some poor finishing we would have been skelped. We created nothing and Holt spent much of the match being brushed off the ball. We have average players an average manager and we were dominated by a team far superior in every position. Ask yourself one thing how many of our players would make it into their team? Brown strolled through the game and if that's the best we have to offer then he could play into his fifties. Their keeper didn't have one decent save to make whole game and all Warburton has done is turn this team into a Kilmarnock or Ross County and all for £3m.



23 Oct 2016 22:02:58
SuperCooper you slated me for saying stubbs was not a failure for getting to 2 cup finals and finishing 2nd in the league, now your praising guys for giving there all. They should be giving there all every game playing for rangers or whatever team they play for.



23 Oct 2016 22:47:37
I totally agree that any player that has the privilege of wearing the rangers jersey should ALWAYS be giving their all so let me clear that up right away. I did also state that celtic were the better team and deserved to win. I was merely pointing out the few plus points from our team today, simple as that. Harsh reality, you correctly state that they are without doubt a better team than us just now, everyone who knows anything about the game of football knows that, so you're stating the obvious. They have a better team than us because they've spent decent money for a better class of players, pure and simple mate. So Mr dave king has to, if he's serious about challenging celtic, allow mark warburton to spend a bit of dough on better class players to narrow the gap. As well as gilks i truly thought clint hill and rob kiernan had very good games for us today and had numerous timely blocks, just as it looked they were certain to score.



23 Oct 2016 22:49:00
Lance
Your bang on mate if they don't give 110% for Glasgow Rangers then they shouldn't be there. Maybe that how O'Hallaron isn't getting a Game and Bartons climbing mountains and I didn't think Halliday was anything special today he's had better games than this, I await being slaughtered!



24 Oct 2016 00:19:46
Why should he be given any money supercooper he's wasted every bit of money he got in summer window, if he's giving him any money it should be to get rid of him there's been no progress if we're all honest were worse this year.



23 Oct 2016 23:59:37
Supercooper

I don't think King has that kind of money.



24 Oct 2016 00:40:33
I actually think we weren't dominated, yes the better team won, but that's all I would say, you can say whatever about blue tinted specs, but I only have clear tinted specs in the house.



24 Oct 2016 09:04:23
Biffo316,i agree with you as i don't think king has the money or to put it another way won't spend the money he said he would at the beginning. It was all talk from him and pie in the sky statements as far as i'm concerned! BIGBLUE AYR, its a true saying in life, you only get what you pay for! He's not backed the management team nearly enough. Can you honestly not see that mate? Got to laugh at some people who think its all black or white, let's blame the manager for everything, not the case my friend, try looking for the answers in between the straight forward black or white scenarios mate!



23 Oct 2016 20:02:08
January clear out needed, mckay is needing a few games with the 20s not rangers class living off goal against them last year nothing since. If we need cash get a share issue or something. Some players out there were dead on there feet. Is fitness slipping at Murray park again?



23 Oct 2016 20:51:45
I'm as disappointed about today's result as I always want my team to win but, without Gilks and Hill we'd have been humped again.
I'm going to try and extract the positives from the game. here goes;
Defence held up for 86 mins under constant pressure against a team that beat Man City 3-3😉
That's it sorry.
I actually think that Barton would have been better suited in Halliday's position and letting Andy express himself in an attacking role.
It is what it is. I still love Rangers and the Magic Hat.



23 Oct 2016 22:01:28
Are people still calling him the magic hat! After hearing him during the press conference it should be the delusional hat.



23 Oct 2016 22:54:12
I think that's your favourite word mate, delusional! I think you're delusional thinking everyone else is delusional! We are where we are and its over to dave king to loosen the purse strings a little, we'll find out in january if he's serious about wanting to challenge celtic and serious when he said 18 months ago that he'd spend a decent amount of money to challenge THEM! That my friend is the crux of the matter!



23 Oct 2016 23:00:09
What do you want the manager to come out and say when you've just been beaten comfortably by your biggest rivals? That we're total suite and the players are not good enough! Get real, any manager worth his salt keeps things that need to be said in house regarding slating players. All the managers do it as to defending their players in media after match press conferences!



23 Oct 2016 23:01:10
Mr Harsh? If you are a Rangers fan I bet, like us all, you were basking in the glory of beating Celtic last season no? With a team MW assembled on a shoe string. Playing quality football the way he believed in.
Celtic realised this and invested in a new manager and players of a better standard cause they got a shock (me too to be honest😀)
So, the morale of the story is we are all hurting, your negativity is not helping.
You are entitled to your opinion my friend but unlike yours, my Hat shaped glass is half full.



24 Oct 2016 00:28:39
How can you seriously still defend a manager who can't manage the team, won't change from his boring system even when losing a game. Who picks his favourites when it's clear to everyone else some of them need dropped. His handling of Barton situation also leaves a lot to be desired, what will it take for some of you guys to admit what's becoming clear, that he just doesn't have it!



23 Oct 2016 19:04:53
Rangers not got much money as we all know. But for the life of me I can't understand why you would spend over 2 million on m o h and garner and not play them? Would have been better buying a decent centre half with the 2 million.



23 Oct 2016 19:31:48
I know it seemed like he wasn't, but Garner was actually on the pitch.



23 Oct 2016 20:05:13
Heard people say we will get rid of Barton in Jan but who's going to want a player who hasn't kicked a ball for 4 months. I can't see any club wanting to take a player who's so not match fit.



23 Oct 2016 22:51:12
They should be sending him all over Scotland with the under 20 and keeping the bench warm, Souness would here sorted this clown out by know!



23 Oct 2016 23:41:26
Rangers will either play him to have him in shop window or they will negotiate a deal to dump him. Mind he is in the last 2 years of his career he does not want to end his career a loser and effectively a joke so it also suits him to leave as well as it suits us

Best thing we could do is swap him for a quality defender if Burnley or similar team are prepared to do that.



23 Oct 2016 19:03:09
Sorry guys i'm going to lay it out here, we have a good enough squad to finish a close (ish) 2nd in league and push them in one off games like today! Not happening! Handleing of the barton situation all b it he is a clown has been a joke! Guys like rossiter and crooks never fit to kick a ball! Forrester who. I've always thought could have been the difference in tight games not even in squad! The pre season or lack of was a pharse! Saying that i do like what warbs has been trying to do at our club. but this is glasgow you don't have time on your hands! I fear the worst!



24 Oct 2016 00:43:19
Forrester was suspended.



23 Oct 2016 19:01:43
Well if the level of our ambition is to beaten only 1-0 then we may as well pack up.

Would the REAL Rangers stand up .



23 Oct 2016 18:47:39
Just hearing an 11 year old rangers fan in hospital, hit over the head with a bottle by one of the greatest fans in the world, no doubt there will be some excuse for it fae them that never do anything wrong! Speedy recovery wee fella.



23 Oct 2016 19:33:42
There are fannies on both sides but that is the second time a child has been assaulted with a glass bottle at a Hampden old firm?!



23 Oct 2016 19:48:10
it's a disgrace to Scotland. hope the boys ok.



23 Oct 2016 19:50:24
Guess as you have conclusive proof that it was thrown by a celtic supporter you should give it to the Glasgow police as they don't know who threw it.



23 Oct 2016 19:52:03
Oh and just for the record I along with the vast majority of any football supporters hope he makes a speedy recovery and that the perpetrator is caught and severely punishes.



23 Oct 2016 20:17:02
We all know it's on both sides mm but let's face if it was one of your young fans your page would be full of rangers **** this and zombie **** that wanting us all banned fae the fitba! We know we have hooligans follow us and it's a problem to get some of them to behave. My problem with celtic is your mob think yous are whiter than white and can do no wrong 2 old firm games in n yous haven't exactly covered yourselves in glory have you?



23 Oct 2016 21:33:06
Big blue ayr

What do you expect when the football club behinds over backwards to accommodate the green brigade? They can do as they please without any condemnation from the club. Won't be long till a few of them are on the board.



23 Oct 2016 21:34:04
Hope the youngster is ok and that they get the B that done it.
No excuse for that UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE regardless of who you support.

Celtic fan in peace.



23 Oct 2016 23:31:25
Mm2009 it should never had happened in the first place.



23 Oct 2016 23:45:09
The bottle thrown was limeade and everyone know that's what Tims drink, we drink tango

This would stand up in court

Enuff said 😇.



23 Oct 2016 18:34:07
Players not good enough for system for me. Said it before and will say it all season. Spine of the team is all wrong. Got hill at 38 and miller at 36 in there. It's a big ask for us to be relying on these guys against a decent Celtic side. Two positives to take from the game were that he eventually played our best goalkeeper at last and played hodson who handles the game very well I thought. Hopefully warbs stubbornness will fade and starts playing guys on merit rather than showing faith.



23 Oct 2016 23:35:09
Miller worked himself to the bone and was unlucky to be subbed. Clint hill done well considering the pressure we absorbed and while I've not been his biggest fan rob kiernan was outstanding today. It pains me to say again but the best team won and I've stuck up for McKay but he wasn't on the park.



23 Oct 2016 23:35:56
Great finally someone realises Fod is not top drawer Giljs saved it being 4-0 today. That said my personal thoughts are what do fans want they been greetin for ages about Warbs not flexible and play Tav more forward plus give Hodson and Windass game eith holt and Halliday

He did all that and because we were 5 at back defending Tav sweeping we did not have a spare man up front so Celtics back 4 just double marked McKay and Miller = no chances up front After Dodoo came on we had 4 break away chances with 3 on target but blocked/ saved shots

Can't have it both ways defence shored up or all out attack

We would have lost a lot more goals with 4 man defence

We will sign at least 1 prob 2 quality defenders in January then we can at least not be sh*tting it every break away or corner

1 year into a 3 year project people need to get a reality check plus Celtic are no longer the joke Ronnie delia team Rodgers has them playing well.



23 Oct 2016 18:24:44
happy we didn't get hammered today but we are still a long way off being a good team, the final ball wa s appalling I like Windass but passing leaves a bit to be desired.
I would get rid of garner as he all brawn and no brain also waghorn as he is too predictable.
Quitongo of Morton looks a guy to take a chance on and wouldn't cost too much maybe recoup some money wasted on garner. Just as well gilks came on to a game after early blips.
I still think we will be near the top of the league . Let`s see after hearts game.



23 Oct 2016 18:56:03
Typical loser"Atleast we didn't get hammered". if that's your assesment of the game your supporting the wrong team.



23 Oct 2016 19:11:03
Agree with just about everything you say but we got hammered today Yes the score was only 1.0 but the gulf between the teams is still enormous. Barry McKay had another shocker today, don't know how bad he will have to be before he gets dropped but hope we will find out soon. Gilks has done his chance of a first team start no harm at all.



23 Oct 2016 18:20:28
World's Greatest Mysteries.

3. Who really was Jack the Ripper?

2. Did Atlantis really ever exist?

1. Why did we think paying £1,500,000 for Joe Garner was a good idea?



23 Oct 2016 18:47:59
Warburton has wasted the money given to him this summer and so far his summer signings have been poor. Let's be honest Warburton has turned us into a Kilmarnock or Ross County and has spent around £3m to do so. Today's game was a classic example of Celtic beating an average team that no had no threat going forward. Great goal keeping, poor finishing and some last ditch tackles saved us from another hiding. Warburtons after match comments were even more worrying. Talk about not being in touch with reality!



23 Oct 2016 19:01:32
haha, superb comment. Not seen much to get excited about with Garner, he should return to Eastenders!



23 Oct 2016 18:20:21
Passing Shocking, Lost most 50- 50's got shoved off the ball too easily.
A combination of Celtic's bad finishing and our Goalkeeper having a great game saved us from a doin, taking Miller off a mistake, McKay is shocking couldnae beat a drum.
Give warburton money to spend or we will finish 3rd. or 4th. if we're lucky.



23 Oct 2016 18:40:29
I wouldn't give him any money he's put that team together and made a mess of it if he can't get them to perform he should go it should have been quality over squad players in summer and get hardie Thomson etc integrated into squad. A quality striker midfielder and a centre back with pace and build from there should have been the plan.



23 Oct 2016 19:05:06
We were well below our best, but playing poorly and only losing to a late goal should give us hope. We have a decent squad, and I will eat my hat if we don't make the top 4, which given where we have been would be a decent result in our return to the top flight.



23 Oct 2016 19:51:06
Shocked at the number of fans who seem to be happy with today's score. We were really poor today and we're lucky to escape with a 1-0. Can't remember such a gulf in class between the teams. We made Brown look like a player and if that's our level against them he could play into his fifties. Total domination from them from start to finish. Pat Bonnar could have played in goal for them today.



23 Oct 2016 18:08:39
Have to say very impressed with the remarks on here. We outplayed you in pretty much every position. Takes some big cajones to admit that. Changed attitudes from the fans. Hail hail.



23 Oct 2016 18:20:00
yous have better players, but if I was a celtic fan I would be questioning how James forrest is still employed lol. leigh griffiths by far the best attacker in Scotland.



23 Oct 2016 19:03:43
Forrest didn't shine today but has been playing great this season way better than last year and would certainly walk straight into your team.



23 Oct 2016 19:52:25
I don't think we are in any position to have a go at any of their players not with some of the wallopers currently playing for us.



23 Oct 2016 17:35:26
that's the best team in Scotland we played today. bow much did they pay for players in the sumer and for their manager? it's early, we are just back from a few years down five the manager time. it could be worse we could be man utd fans.

give celtic fans their few weeks of celebration it gives them a self confidence that they are something special.



23 Oct 2016 17:44:12
thats a shocking post Cee. Man U have just burst the bank on the most expensive player in the world in pgba and also have Ibra so money isn't the be all. our tactics were shocking and our players / manager looked happy that it was only 1-0 which is shocking from a Rangers team.



23 Oct 2016 17:45:28
seriously Cee, even with thompson giving you your usual helping hand you done nothing the whole game, you set up not to get pumped, my gers mates are raging, as they said it was more of a training match for us, but if your happy that's all that matters.



23 Oct 2016 17:50:51
Does anybody else agree Halliday looked like he was running on sand and that was in first half. The guy ran his heart out but looked heavy legged early on.



23 Oct 2016 17:53:27
Alrite Bhoy uz won mate but don't get para abt the ref. if mckay gets booked then so has dembele got to be booked, he made a couple of mistakes but he's only human so go enjoy yourself instead of playing with yourself trolling a Gers page.



23 Oct 2016 18:15:20
Agree aboht halliday jaws, we don't look as fit as we could be, warbs said hill (38years) finished middle of the pack kn a fitness test this week! I would be docking pay cheques for the ones he beat! Shocking!



23 Oct 2016 18:15:57
Jaws - After a gruelling CL tie on Wednesday they still looked fitter than us which struck me as odd.



23 Oct 2016 18:21:57
aye man utd spent all that money and are worse than last year. the referee did his best to help celtic as did th3 linesman as your goal shouldn't have counted bhoy wonder even Sutton couldn't deny it lmao. brown should never have been on the park after his tackle on halliday according to the new rules that was a straight red.



23 Oct 2016 18:24:42
Let's be honest here. We all hate getting beat, especially from Celtic. We have to be realistic so maybe a top 3 or 4. Remember guys we don't have the budget yet so we have to be real.



23 Oct 2016 18:29:02
Cmon blue its common knowledge that thompson can't stand us, i don't reckon mckay shouldve been booked, nothing wrong with erics goal that got chopped off, and i never mentioned the game pal, only that if OP is happy with what he saw then that's just wrong imo, are you happy wi what you saw today blue?



23 Oct 2016 19:01:14
Defo not happy Bhoy and fully deserved your victory but to come on and berate refs is beyond paranoid, i could go on for days abt desicions that have ent against us but i'm ugly enuf to know its happened both ways. that's the difference between u and i.



23 Oct 2016 19:53:57
no chance blue, i'm not one of the paranoid brigade, its been well documented that thompson and his family have close ties with rangers. that was my point in fairness, that how can he be put in charge when its his own team?, that's like putting rod stewart in charge next time, do you disagree that our standards of refs are shocking mate, the fact that there's more headlines about refs f**king up than the actual games is terrible.



23 Oct 2016 20:55:30
Something WAS wrong with the Erik's goal.



23 Oct 2016 23:38:34
Bhoywonder, the ref definetly fecked up today as griffith wss offside when he collected the bsll, before the delivery into the box, fact.



24 Oct 2016 06:58:08
Bhoy cast your mind back to cis cup final 2011.CT was in charge thar day, he awarded jelavic a pen and in the space of 2 secs he booked him for diving then in extra time charlie mulgrew brings jelavic down when last man and only gets a yellow so spare me the guff. and the Rod Stewart statement was terrible btw.



23 Oct 2016 17:01:38
So only got beat by one today. Massive improvement on our last outing however, I honestly think that was as good as it gets for us. I don't see anything or anyone in our team that indicates we are anywhere near Celtic in terms of quality. I'm sorry if this annoys some of you or you think I'm not a diehard, I just have to say it as I see it.
We were totally lost out there, men against boys. We were hanging on, so comprehensive was their dominance of us.
Sorry but Rangers 2016/ 17 do not have want it takes to compete with Celtic. Top 4 will be a big achievement I feel. Prove me wrong Rangers, I dare you.
Anyhow, onwards to the next game now.



23 Oct 2016 17:18:34
Agree pie and bovril, we played like we were happy not to get pumped. Sir Walter needs a call.



23 Oct 2016 17:30:50
sir Walter? why him he wouldn't be able to create with guys like davis and jelavic never mind these players. smith only successful with better players.



23 Oct 2016 17:31:13
Fair play to Celtic, the best team won today.

I can't criticise any of our players for their effort but Celtic have far more strength in depth.

We paid three times as much money for Garner than they did for Dembele - that makes me despair, Dembele is different class at scoring and can dive better too which Garner seems to think is his main strength.

Tierney is a clearly a class above Wallace too, end of that debate surely.

McKay - far too inconsistent. Time to be benched.

Doubt the gap has narrowed to any great extent since the 5-1 game. That result flattered Celtic. The result today flattered us a bit.

League already gone. League Cup now gone but bears calling for Warb's head - behave yourselves! Why not ask questions of Dave King and his broken promises instead?



23 Oct 2016 17:34:10
Not rubbing it in guys but even though the scoreline would suggest it was a close game do any of you really think it was? I thought we won it at a canter today. Good game from Gilks, I thought he was your stand out player. HH.



23 Oct 2016 17:46:28
walter smith wouldn't go near that team.



23 Oct 2016 18:09:42
Walter isn't the answer. As someone eluded to, it's the players that aren't good enough for the system and yes, we could play a different system but I just feel the players aren't good enough, period.
We need to not be shopping at the Briggat. I don't think we have uncovered any gems by doing so, Windass looked very ordinary today.
Credit where it's due, Celtic played us off the park and we can consider ourselves part of the chasing pack. Where we finish will depend greatly on other teams dropping points as I can't see us sustaining a run of wins.
First season back so let's not get our knickers in a twist lads. It's always a sore one to be beaten by Celtic but remember, it's a work in progress.



23 Oct 2016 18:54:48
Sorry pie don't agree I thjnk we've some great prospects, just starting to feel management team can't get best out of them.



23 Oct 2016 19:23:51
He went near a worse team Bhoywonder so stick to your own team before passing judgement mate.



23 Oct 2016 20:21:10
Have to say I agree but not on the comprehensive dominance, and that is no blue tinted specs before anyone starts, they were the more likely team but to me not dominant today, but we need to get MOH in for the matches this week and play Waghorn as a main striker. He has to experiment a bit in these matches to a degree anyway as players will chop n change, 3 matches in a week.



23 Oct 2016 16:56:34
Is warburtons time up? Why have players on bench he has no intention of playing them? Thought holt Giles and miller really tyred for the team.



23 Oct 2016 17:06:32
I'm sure he put three of them on the pitch mate.

Agree about the lads making an effort though.



23 Oct 2016 17:23:39
You're only allowed 3 subs on mate.



23 Oct 2016 17:31:26
Miller was too deep, it's great having a striker tracking back and defending but when we got the ball we had no one to go forward to.



23 Oct 2016 19:14:41
Walter WOULD do a job with that team, he did it with guys like neil murry and craig moore while Selik had pierre, thom, cadete, di canio so don't give me that patter. he went to the piggery wi sebo upfront himself n still won so learn your facts guys.



23 Oct 2016 20:08:56
Ally72 is the managers time up, wtf kinda things thing to say?



23 Oct 2016 16:49:20
All use so called fans calling for the gaffer to go are a disgrace, we got beat by a better team than us today, see at the end of the day, u get what u pay for, our team is free transfers, can people not see that, give warburton money to spend then we might have a chance, but that's up to the board to find the cash, instead of slating the manager, get behind the club, I'm sick of people like use, if u don't like it, don't come back. simple.



23 Oct 2016 17:08:49
Well said mate. I was a wee tad worried about getting thrashed again today but, I still get right behind the boys no matter what. Some rangers fans are so unbelievably impatient it's a joke. Away and support some other team. Muppets!



23 Oct 2016 17:19:06
Delboy the game is all about opinions and unfortunately our team like you say were outplayed today😡
I will give Warburton a chance but still things need to improve as it certainly looked like a lack of belief to?
You are right the hat does need some cash but some of his signings are not up to the job✊🇬🇧.



23 Oct 2016 17:32:19
100 percent true, celtic can buy players like sinclair and dembele we can't. warbs done well to pick up players like windass. we are a work in progress.



23 Oct 2016 17:50:40
Dembele was a free just like dodoo, crooks, Rossiter and windass, compensation only.



23 Oct 2016 18:30:29
You can't really believe that delay? 1-0 down with 5 to go in a semi and he doesn't even change his system to chase an equaliser, centre halfs should have been sent up n had the ball fired up, at least ask a question last 5 mins, whatever way you paint it up he settled for a 1-0 defeat didn't even try for an equaliser! What kind of tactics is that?!



23 Oct 2016 18:41:40
Cree

Rangers paid 3 times more for Garner than they did for Dembele so stop talking nonsense.



23 Oct 2016 19:06:17
You get what you pay for? Dembele £500k Joe Garner £1.8m who do you think is better?



23 Oct 2016 19:06:53
Us so called fans have had enough of the same pish almost everyweek we are improving. we will learn/ a lot of positives. u say free transfers but there wages they are on plus leagues they have played in should compete better than we have and easily finish second. we bought a striker we don't use probably a waste of coin and buy one of the fastest and direct wingers tht wants to run past players and we don't use him.



23 Oct 2016 20:14:26
Delboy

Who are you to tell anyone not to come back? You speak for yourself so don't dare come on and tell people not to go to the games.



23 Oct 2016 23:47:51
Del

You are correct mate but realise something I did years ago on here they are mostly negative whining victor meldrews quick to jump on any thing they can

Real supporters at the game and 99% support Warbs and the board because the real true fans support the team through the bad times

We are first season back after 4 years of zero cash and zero kit money plus no euro money = £80million less than Celtic earned while we were away

We are NOT 4 years and £80m away from matching and challenging them more like 1 year and £15m at most (3/ 4 good players like their signing of Sinclair) . So people need to shut the fork up support the team and be patient

Think back to the pure rubbish we were playing under McCourt punting it up park and zero passin

Warbs at least is playing the game the right way he just needs a few more high quality players like Borussia had then the passing game pays off

Reality check.



23 Oct 2016 16:48:06
On one hand Warburton has been unlucky, Crooks/ Windass/ Rossiter not fit, the Barton gamble but #1- he hasn't the quality of player to play the style/ formation he plays #2-doesn't appear to have recruited the RIGHT players. He needed to recruit more muscle @ CH and CF.



23 Oct 2016 23:50:44
Barton is his biggest mistake as he has stressed team harmony is everything and my 92 year old Auntie Magoo could have told you Barton was wrong type of person not player to sign

All his other signings considering money paid are good Garner is a striker strikers need support and chances to score he has not had that yet. Marco Negri would be struggling today.



23 Oct 2016 16:42:08
Dissapointed and frustrated, I know I will get shot down here but I honestly believe our players ARE good enough! We juat don't have that experience to be ruthless enough to take a chance when we get one! I believe in warbs but mibi he just isn't right for our team! I hate myself for saying it lol.



23 Oct 2016 17:02:40
Wrong they ain't good enough, rangers need proper investment in the team because Celtic will keep backing Rodgers, so that's up to our board to find the cash, I thought there was only one team that looked like winning today and it wasn't Rangers, the board must try and get some investors or Celtic will keep on winning, Celtic will win the treble this year, of that I'm certain, even though it hurts to even write the words, but until the gaffer gets some serious cash we won't stop them.



23 Oct 2016 20:08:33
We were never in the game. They are comfortably better than us and we were fortunate we didn't get a another doing. Don't know what Warburton was talking about at the end of the game.



23 Oct 2016 16:37:15
SuperCooper or onlyshadow, there is your stat, Rodgers after Europe 80% win rate, against rangers 100% win rate. Never seen such a one sided old firm game. 1.0 flatters rangers.



23 Oct 2016 16:58:33
We didn't believe in ourselves again and looked happy just not to get pumped again. well don to Selik (gritted teeth) but only team for me that looked as if they wanted to win it. i'm not 1 for calling for the managers head but if he's not willing to change it then we're doomed. i can just imagine Walter playing against that today. he would have wiped the floor with them.



23 Oct 2016 18:05:02
In private I'm sure warburton knows that Celtic are light years ahead of rangers and that without major investment or them getting a terrible manager in the future, we have no chance of catching them.



23 Oct 2016 23:53:18
Warburton has a 100% success rate against you lot in Scottish Cup but 0% success against Hibs. Stats can be manipulated. We beat Linfield 7-1 then you beat us 5-1 then Barcelona beat you 7-0 I am sure Linfield would not lose 19-1 to Barcelona lolol.



23 Oct 2016 16:23:30
Damage limitation from start and we got what we deserved. They played us of the park and if it wasn't for Gilks Warburton might have been released of his duties!
Frightening 😡😡😡.



23 Oct 2016 18:05:42
At least he changed formation lol.



23 Oct 2016 23:53:44
Giljs is quality should be our number one.



23 Oct 2016 16:15:05
When is MW gunna learn. Mckay needs dropped. Wallace ain't up to much, garner is waste of money. Waghorn has found his level. Get MOH crooks, and especially dodoo in the team and when rossiiter fit him straight in. Brown bossed that pitch today and the passing of our team was atrocious.



23 Oct 2016 16:26:37
A honestly can't bear warburton saying there positives to take from today's game again. 11 signings and not one has improved the First team yet! Gilks display today's the best display from any of his signings! We are absolutely brutal, I've said for months now there is no coming back for this management team, time for Rangers fans to wake up! This guy has no answers full stop, end of story!



23 Oct 2016 17:47:06
I think he's taken us as as he can.



23 Oct 2016 18:32:38
McKay definitely has a confidence issue that the manager obviously cannot fail to notice, regarding Wallace think he needs a rest or take some pressure of him by giving the armband to Halliday, garner is just a hoofer who would have been ideal in midfield today to counter brown, s dominance as he was getting away with murder waghorn I, m afraid I have to agree there as he can, t cut it with the big boys .



23 Oct 2016 16:58:45
Clever post Benoit not one improved. Then saying Giljs great. Think that counts as one already

Rangers playing a team with 4 years head start on us and £15/ 20 million each year more money

We defended very well considering carrying Kiernan as a passenger and that meant sacrificing a min up front = less attacking options

We could have won on break and with 2 more signing windows between now and next season we will sign better players

Europa qualifying and 2nd in league is brilliant after 4 years in lower divisions

You would never expect an amateur boxer to step up and beat a pro in first couple years same applies in football.



23 Oct 2016 23:08:04
ps Blue Nose is actually French - Le Nez Bleu and his real name is Benoit le Bleu.



23 Oct 2016 16:15:02
Not good enough at all today. Gills was superb and thought Hill was solid as well though ill say that much. Warburton has bought very poorly, he has players playing a system that doesn't suit them. Never looked like scoring and sadly that's been the case all season. No natter what people say we've had the second biggest budget for 2 years yet aren't even close to Aberdeen and hearts never mind Celtic.



23 Oct 2016 16:55:31
I'm going to be honest here Warburton is out of his depth in the premiership, he talks a great game but to me is proving to be quite stubborn with his team choice. There is no sign of improvement and at this stage there should be. We all know we don't have the financial budget so I take that into consideration. Having said that we have the 2nd highest wage bill and nothing to back that up.



23 Oct 2016 18:23:40
Loyalty to underperforming players is costing us dearly.



23 Oct 2016 23:17:29
One year actually 3 months into our first season back after 4 years with no players of quality no euro money and no kit revenue plus being handicapped by the worst signings and worst coaching level in our 240+ year history

Facing all this Warburton has signed 20 players for under £3m and won the Championship plus got us to a Scottish Cup final

He now is just starting a 2 year project to get us competing with Celtic who have had 4 years and £80million pound more plus a kit deal paying millions

Fans on here are mostly deluded and not really aware of how to run or manage a football club. Thankfully the board and Warburton plus Weir are aware of how to do that

When we qualify for the Europa and I hope get kit deal resolved we will sign £3/ 4million players we are lucky that Lawell and Desmond only decided after the cup semi loss to genuinely get Celtic a manager and sign quality players

They will not as it is their policy start spending £10 million on players so will will match their quality over the coming 2/ 3 signing windows. Only then when Warburton has had 3 years and similar standard players to Celtic will THE BOARD decide if he is good enough. Not the keyboard loyal on here

Reality check may eventuallyy dawn for these numpties.



23 Oct 2016 16:14:20
I just want Warburton to go now, yes we were better but we have absolutely no attacking threat whatsoever his way of playing simply doesn't work against better teams, when they scored it should have been everyone up top n lump balls up the park. His philosophy won't allow that tho seems he'd rather lose 1-0 than score a scrappy goal from a punt up the park.



23 Oct 2016 16:36:04
Agree to some extent! We should have put balls in against ther center backs but to say warbs has to go is extreme he's rebuilt or football team.



23 Oct 2016 16:42:16
For the first time I agree with other calling for MW to go. He has no scope to change things and is Stuburn when Poe performing players clearly need dropped. He bangs on about squad players believeing they can get in the 11 yet even when players are playing poor regularly they retain there place. Poor signings made, dembele 500k. Garner 1.8 m. Hill free, toure free.

I don't know who would replace MW maybe van bronkhurst but he ain't up to this job.



23 Oct 2016 16:09:27
Wallace said in midweek that the players have cut out the indivitual mistakes. Well i make that 2 just from him today one he got away with one he got punished.

On plus note gilks has got be number one keeper in my opnion.



23 Oct 2016 16:06:06
Another embarrassment. That was a training match for them.



23 Oct 2016 15:13:05
Pleased with the team selection to be honest, feeling sick watching this!


We are lucky not to be behind with the stupid mistakes!



23 Oct 2016 14:44:36
McKay is low in confidence and should not be playing. Get dodoo on.



23 Oct 2016 16:10:18
We need a captain Wallace Holliday, time to wake up these guys no good enough no steel or talent.



23 Oct 2016 16:12:04
Did any1 else get the feeling that we wer just happy not to lose 5-1 again.



23 Oct 2016 13:29:17
Interesting team selection - "2 right backs". Tavs must be further forward.

Preserving with Mackay.



23 Oct 2016 13:39:54
Happy with that, he was our only real threat to them in the first game.



23 Oct 2016 13:45:07
I think Mackay may play in the hole.



23 Oct 2016 13:52:50
it's just asking kieran Tierney to bomb forward at will. hopefully Hill can handle them a bit better .



23 Oct 2016 13:55:19
Might b back 3/ 5 with wallace hill keirnan and hodson tav as wingbacks! More likely tho that tav and hodson have to double on sinclair.



23 Oct 2016 14:07:41
I'd rather we doubled up in brown stop him and you stop celtic.



23 Oct 2016 12:50:50
I read warbs said hill will handle the old firm if that is true he must be playing the big man. I think at Hamden we will get picked off as hill is too slow so we will have to sit in deep then when we press they will get the ball in behind.



23 Oct 2016 13:10:09
Time we got a nasty streak into our game I know football has moved on but likes of hill and keirnan should be bullying young guys like dembele! In my day old school center halfs used every trick in the book, doesn't seem to happen now.

23 Oct 2016 12:43:37
Cmon rangers get in to them. put them in there place. show the world theyre not as good as they think they are.



23 Oct 2016 09:15:35
Now up and buzzing ready to go and support the glasgow rangers at hampden this afternoon. I look forward to going to watch rangers irrespective who we're playing, 'we fear no foe'. All i ask from my team today is go out and give it everything and leave absolutely nothing on that turf. After that its 'que sara, sara'! Common the teddy bears! let's all get right behind our club and show everyone watching that we are without question the greatest supporters in the world! 'WE ARE THE PEOPLE'!



23 Oct 2016 09:50:13
Enjoy it and stay safe bud.



23 Oct 2016 10:00:00
Yes mate! If players show as much passion as us fans they won't go far wrong c'mon the teddy bears.



23 Oct 2016 12:28:38
Enjoy the game everybody and get home safe.



23 Oct 2016 17:38:28
Well supercoopereleven your team gave nothing on the pitch and had the look of a team that was beaten before the kick off and we could not hear your support!



23 Oct 2016 09:13:36
Alright lads. Off to the game today. A little nervous to say the least. Hopefully we'll get something but I really think miller should start. His movement has been excellent the last few games. Also what's the chances of getting a half bottle into the stadium? Ed?



23 Oct 2016 09:28:39
C-bear85,kenny miller is a certainty to start against them today mate! He has a slightly better than 1 in 2 goal ratio against them in old firm games which you don't need telling is a fantastic record!



23 Oct 2016 10:00:59
Just neck it before u go in.



23 Oct 2016 07:21:55
Our two marquee signings are now out and looks like for good and our other new recruits sit on the bench or injured leaving us with last season's team. If we stand any chance today Warburton needs to stop the square peg in the round hole Waghorn wide right and play Dodoo or O'Halloran. He's okay in the middle and I know left footed Messi plays on the right but Waghorn's not Messi.



23 Oct 2016 12:58:38
If we win today it will be more good luck than anything else. While we might not want to admit it we are still a number of players short of what is needed and Celtic have a head start on us in terms of quality. What is more, Wallace is not a leader and that is a problem. When things are not going your way you need a Souness, a Greig, a Butcher, Gough or Ferguson, Wallace sadly is not in the same league.

If the guys like Crooks, Windass and Rossiter had all stayed fit, if Kranjcer was not injured and we had two quality centre backs a quality winger and if Miller was a few years younger then I would be confident both for today and for the season but sadly that is not the case.

All I can say is I won't blame Warburton if we lose but King with all his empty promises should be in the firing line!
