Much as I have criticised dk from day one, I am delighted that where we are sitting in the league.
Just a few adjustments in January, with a bit of luck and good fortune, then I am sure we can come out on top.
No matter where we end up at the end of the season, Mr King, I do not like your methods but total respect for where we are at present.
Merry Christmas and the best ever New year to all fellow bluenoses.
24 Dec 2018 15:22:59
Well said billyb, a man that can see both sides of the coin.
24 Dec 2018 15:55:03
Well said billyb. Although I don’t share all of your views on dk, I do believe like all of us he is not without fault. Feels wonderful this season and in large part the journey has been driven by all of the board and us supporting SG A happy and safe Christmas to you and all supporters of our club. Aye Ready.
24 Dec 2018 17:13:14
Mr king has steadied a rocking ship and has put his plan in motion hat off to the guy.
24 Dec 2018 22:52:29
Echo your sentiments Billyb, don't trust king but he's who we have, and he's slowly getting rid of the fat man so he deserves a bit of credit for that. Merry Xmas to all on here, we don't always agree but to me that's what makes the site and keeps bringing me back.
24 Dec 2018 23:56:54
Mr King is not the easiest of cats to judge I agree.
at times he can say something very odd or poorly thought out but overall this season has been a marked improvement. The proof of the financial situation will be apparent if an offer comes in for Alfredo that will test the metal. If and it’s a big if we get an offer north of £15 mini would be inclined to cash our chips in
Could wipe a lot of debt out and buy a new striker.
24 Dec 2018 11:26:02
Loads of people suggesting we go two up top. Personally I would play Lafferty on the left and then choose between Grezda and Candeias on the right. It would mean we would have an aerial threat coming in at the back post when crossing from the right. I think Lafferty played a similar roles for Hearts and always seemed to find the net against them.
24 Dec 2018 13:45:57
Simple tactic, zikos, that worked well for Prso, Hateley etc.
24 Dec 2018 14:21:04
too many high balls going in in the first half yesterday that wee just didn't have any height in box for lafferty would at least offer you a target coming in from width.
24 Dec 2018 14:26:54
Its a good idea although for a big guy Lafferty does not pose.
24 Dec 2018 14:29:01
For a big guy Lafferty doesn't possess the Ariel ability of peso or Harley but could cause problems nevertheless.
24 Dec 2018 17:18:15
How many goals have we scored from crosses and corners this season. From the amount that that we do I can only really remember a handful. We need to mix up the corners a bit instead of firing it in all the time.
24 Dec 2018 19:01:27
Lafferty and middleton changed the game yesterday, would have lost that game without them.
24 Dec 2018 11:01:57
Wonder what shape we will adopt against the mhanks, embra wee mhanks gave them a doing with a high pressure game.
Do any bears think we will play a high line?
24 Dec 2018 10:49:22
Marks out of 10 for st Johnstone game. McGregor 6,tavernier 5 barisic5 goldson 5 worrall 5 mccrorie 6 coulibaly 5 halliday 5 grezda 4 Morelos 8 candelas 5 sub's Lafferty 7 Middleton 7 Wallace 6.
24 Dec 2018 11:47:53
Hard to disagree with those marks on the money bud👍👍.
24 Dec 2018 12:01:33
I just want Rangers to turn up in both games, there is talent in that team but one just doesn’t know if they’ll play well or not, I’m old enough to remember the McCoist, Hately days when Celtic were crapping themselves, Ally laughing at their huddle and them complaining about, great days.
24 Dec 2018 12:53:28
Cant really disagree with that apart from Couibally did more than Mcrorie for me.
24 Dec 2018 21:26:25
Thought 4 was a bit high for Grezda.
24 Dec 2018 10:41:22
I've never been a fan of Lafferty but I think SG must play two up front for the next two games, Lafferty and Morelos. He must also stop faffing about with the central defenders and give the same pairing a run. I'd stick with Goldson and Worral. Anyone know if Jack and Arfield are fit and can play in the next two games? I'd like to see Halliday play against the unwashed as he plays for the jersey.
24 Dec 2018 11:43:52
Maybe play the same formation to begin with 433 hopefully with a bit of luck win the midfield again and take our chances. if that's not working again sacrifice a midfielder and put on attacker in last half hour.
24 Dec 2018 15:19:58
Worral gives me nightmares, he moves like he's drunk. I like a 433 but we don't have the personnel to play it to it's fullest potential. We should be able to cope with one sitting mid and 2 others pushing forward into the box but we're playing 3 midfielders who like to play deep just now. And more alamringly this doesn't seem to helping out much defensively either. I just don't feel confident in our defending just now, get caught out far too easily.
24 Dec 2018 21:27:23
DOIGER
You can’t play Halliday against them he will be shown up yet again.
24 Dec 2018 10:34:25
Any news on McCauley Jack arfield fitness ahead of hibs and the unwashed?
24 Dec 2018 10:56:41
Both these clubs are the unwashed!
24 Dec 2018 11:28:41
With some of your comments Coop, you should move to Shankill road, Belfast 😂 just a joke now guys.
24 Dec 2018 15:04:13
Ulsterman, Coop lives on the Moon!
24 Dec 2018 16:28:32
I thought super cooper lived in Poland with the amount of polls he asks for. Joke mate.
24 Dec 2018 09:49:44
I'm convinced that Gerrard has learned a bit regarding changing shape and also making subs sooner. I feel we should go two
Up top again for next two games. Does anyone know how long Ryan Kent and Ryan Jack are out for?
24 Dec 2018 12:55:02
Correct, for one of the first times gerrard made the changes early enough for them to effect game.
24 Dec 2018 09:23:26
Ed, can we do poll on left back position for the 2 remaining fixtures. Question; In the absence of Barisic for the Hibs, Celtic fixtures who should we play at left back?
1. Halliday,
2. Flanagan,
3. Wallace.
Thanks Ed.
{Ed033's Note -
Rangers left back poll
24 Dec 2018 09:58:36
Only one of them is a left back. it’s a no brainer. Give Wallace 90mins against Hibs then re-assess after performance, unless he has a nitemare he’s got to play.
24 Dec 2018 10:58:25
Exactly scotty 123!Its also a no brainer for me, its lee wallace all day long, who should play left back against the hivees and septic!
24 Dec 2018 08:41:33
Thought the turning point yesterday was taking off a midfielder and outing on an attacker Lafferty not been great but had an impact yesterday. Also wee glen contributed mor with his direct style than gezda. I think a striker coming on for a midfielder would have been the answer at Dundee and hibs.
24 Dec 2018 10:44:03
I read a lot of people saying harsh things about Lafferty, when he comes on he plays his heart out, he has to settle back into being a Ranger, second half of season may tell a difference story for him, I hope so.
24 Dec 2018 11:50:05
Ulsterman I hope so the big guy always gives 100% I actually said to my son that he's maybe trying too hard and should calm down a bit, thing is he seems to be 2nd choice striker so when he gets a chance he tries his heart out, I certainly don't question his commitment.
24 Dec 2018 00:04:40
Hardie doing well. Leave him at Livingston till end of season. A bit out there but i'd have Martin Boyle fae Hibs as our number 10. Yes the usual Hibs don't sell to us, he isn't good enough. Him and Moreles would rip defences apart.
24 Dec 2018 07:57:13
agree 100% common
been a big fan of boyle for years the lad is quick aggressive and scores goals he’d be a fab signing but unfort
hibs won’t sell him to us.
24 Dec 2018 09:31:39
Porteous from Hibs.
24 Dec 2018 10:00:27
Porteous is only one I’d take from Hibs but would have competition from Celtic as they are also keeping tabs on him.
