Cracking result today and what an atmosphere. I agree with comment about Miller and McKay. Miller is good for 20 off bench as his time has gone and lacks control to come with the zipped pass. McKay is too one footed and is scared to beat a man. Certainly no laudrup or cooper. Thompson and Hardie need a chance. Let's get out of our blip now hope hibs have there's and.

28 Dec 2015 21:34:19
Im sorry but all I seen McKay do all day was beat men, seems as if we are watching a different players but completely agree about miller.

28 Dec 2015 21:24:53
blue nose barrie mackay had good game today i thought.

28 Dec 2015 22:06:57
McKay had a good game but can't take a man on, on the outside was always cutting in to use right foot, used the outside once to supply Miller who skied over, but overall a good performance, no complaints with his contribution, holt outstanding today.

28 Dec 2015 22:31:19
McKay's place in the team must be in jeopardy if signings are made in the forward positions. Thought the atmosphere today even on the subway going to the game was like turning the clock back 50 years (sadly I can remember that far back) the fans are superb.

28 Dec 2015 23:07:01
McKay was one of best on the park only reason he got took off was Halliday,

29 Dec 2015 00:14:45
I thought Barrie did well but wasn't outstanding as some have said. I like the lad and I think he has a great future in the game. The way he drifted in from the left to set up Miller in the second half was sublime. MW likes him and that's good enough for me.

28 Dec 2015 22:25:32
barry "nutmeg" mckay had a great game, atmosphere was great but can see a fine coming our way. shocking behaviour and the game was on tv.

29 Dec 2015 01:49:31
Mackay has potential. but at this stage, that's all it is. He needs to add some variation to his game by occasionally beating hospital man on the outside. He's becoming g to easy to play against. Thought nick you law put in a great shift today and could possibly earn a new deal if he maintains that level of former until may. Jason Holt was outstanding again and is a stick on for player of the year.

29 Dec 2015 16:52:41
Young Mackay needs to be played on the right side if he is going to reach his potential.

29 Dec 2015 23:47:42
Gorman, you beat me to it mate I think McKay would be a lot better on the right side, but m. w. obviously can't see a better player to play the left wing, that could all change in the window.

28 Dec 2015 18:02:20
Well today I think is by far the best we have played all season apart from the Raith Rovers game.

The centre backs looked more assured with not playing as high a line as usual, was a stroll in the park and Barry McKay some of the passes he picks out are second to none imo.

Nicky Law what a difference he made today playing instead of Zalalem and Shiels.

Only downside today for me was Kenny Miller he has be rank rotten the past few weeks and young Hardie needs a few games soon I would think.

Anyway great performance, onwards and upwards.

28 Dec 2015 18:09:38
Great result - enough said tonight

Well done Rangers

Thanks.

28 Dec 2015 18:11:24
Was on earlier saying I'd backed Rangers and was hoping for a fantastic game, atmosphere and the right result.

Well really enjoyable game and the right result, the atmosphere was cracking at times too but spoiled by thousands of fans continually singing songs that have no place at Ibrox in the 21st century.

Feel the team are back on track now and looking forward to 2016.

28 Dec 2015 18:28:49
Well hopefully some of our fans can calm down a bit a section of them had us beat today before ko! going into 2016 on top and am 100% that's where will be come end of April! 👍🏿.

CUBBY

What game were you at?
McKay never completed a pass and checked his runs to avoid responsibility. He was a major disappointment again.

28 Dec 2015 19:47:01
CUBBY

I agree with you about Miller.

28 Dec 2015 20:22:31
I fully agree our best performance should have scored 6 though, totally outplayed Hibs in every area.

28 Dec 2015 18:47:04
Aye 40 thousand at least were singing them. Like it or not its always going to be there.
The younger guys I understand as I did it myself in the 70s and to a lesser extent the 80s but I see these men in there 50s and 60s still doing it and I despair. Values are plummeting rather than improving I'm afraid. But so proud of the team today. Brilliant stuff Miller aside, he's an empty shirt.

28 Dec 2015 21:46:09
deeb honestly man Mckay is a great player he was our out ball all afternoon give him a break at 20 years old i think he is a great talent.

28 Dec 2015 17:36:36
Great game! Fantastic watch all the players did well. Enjoyed the win but made all the sweeter by the look on stubbs face at the end!

28 Dec 2015 17:08:46
spot on rangers, smile well and truly wiped, harsh decision about Halliday but even down to ten men we still looked solid, best we've been in weeks, ill be doing the bouncy tonight.

28 Dec 2015 18:47:45
Dazrfc86 even us going down to 10 men, then them scoring ( a snide goal at that) I was confident we would scor again, and if we are being honest with ourself it could have been 7 or 8, chances missed, but still we can't complain there first goal was well taken, though a bit lucky IMO as the ball could have fell anywhere, but I was always confident, after all it's only hibs.

29 Dec 2015 09:35:38
Spot on billy, after all it is only hibs lol this stubbs guy has to learn to shut his pie hole in future, you're right could have been many more goals and i wish it bloody was, onwards and upwards.

28 Dec 2015 17:00:37
Yassssssss man why a game and some result! Played well, and thought for every ball, never a red card, law was brilliant, so was holt, waghorn as well, Kenny Miller ran his heart out, but Kenny son, if u had a first touch, ud a signed for real, I'll give u that, wasted to many chances, and because he hasn't got a first touch, his link up plays terrible! Waghorn law and holy where brilliant, McKay, played a bit better the second half, but I won't go to hard on him because his age, but he's got a lot to learn! Last but not least, Alan stubbs, I'll even buy u the biggest humble pie in the world to eat, even if it cost a grand, u talked the talk, but couldn't walk the walk, total mouth piece of a man, he'll not sleep well tonight that's for sure, well done Rangers and MB and DW! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all. WATP.

28 Dec 2015 17:16:12
You where right Colin we are a joke of a team!

28 Dec 2015 16:31:04
We don't expect anything less from hibs, especially fyvie do we? His tackle on McKay the last game was nothing short of assault and there he was play acting as per.

28 Dec 2015 15:26:28
We are rubbish said it for weeks he needs to go. Our defence is rank.

28 Dec 2015 16:06:36
Looks like i may have jumped the gun a bit but still say our defence is rank.

28 Dec 2015 16:56:47
Who needs to go?

28 Dec 2015 17:02:19
Get a grip man ffs.

28 Dec 2015 17:19:04
i thought wilson had a good game today.

28 Dec 2015 11:49:40
I have got to say, I have not felt this level of excitement, nerves and tension going into today's game since a top flight old firm match. I ain't got any finger nails left and it's over 3 hours until kick off.

28 Dec 2015 12:18:15
Big game today not particularly in terms of the end result of the winner of the league but mentally to see where this team really is. Under a wee bit of pressure at a packed ibrox I'm absolutely buzzin for the game. 100% behind the manager and team.

28 Dec 2015 13:37:54
Buzzing too and put a few quid on us at 5/6. Here's hoping for a fantastic game, atmosphere and the right result.

Spent an evening in the company of some Lanarkshire friends of my inlaws and I was finding the level of aggression and anti Rangers sentiment difficult to deal with.
They are all Motherwell fans so not to familiar with winning trophies and the small club mentality was horrendous.

They all admitted the league was struggling without Rangers but it was all EBT Newco etc

How I am longing for the Rangers to be back to winning ways when we can batter teams like Motherwell 5-0
Where have the next generation of
McCoist type goal scorers gone.

{Ed001's Note - I am sure your talk of 'small club mentality', them being 'not to familiar with winning trophies' helped matters. You might want to tone down your arrogance before complaining about people taking a dislike!}

28 Dec 2015 09:21:01
Ed
I don't see anywhere in the post where he actually mentions that he has discussed with the Motherwell fans of them being a small club with a dearth of trophies tbh. I agree with the poster. Fans of other clubs display a real hatred towards our club and I think the vast majority would have preferred that we folded forever, even though it would signal the beginning of the end of Scottish football. And btw I don't mean dislike, I mean hatred.

{Ed001's Note - it doesn't matter, my point is that all I read on these pages are arrogant posts about how you will soon be back where you belong etc. You belong where you are right now, and if you win promotion then you will belong in the SPFL next season. You are bringing a lot of the hatred upon yourselves with an antagonistic attitude, making things worse. There will always be muppets who talk about hate, but why join them?}

28 Dec 2015 09:27:06
These were my personal thoughts. I was doing more listening to gauge how others viewed Rangers and its plain to see we are hated by other clubs fans.

28 Dec 2015 09:35:59
They where probably winding u up and by the sound of it. They done a good job a wouldn't be losing any sleep over it.

28 Dec 2015 09:44:08
Ed I think that is a bit harsh. i also agree the level of aggression and anti Rangers sentiment has never been higher. The small club mentality and not familiar with winning trophies were his thoughts. he never stated he said that to them. every club from the top to the bottom has had a kick at us. frankly I think your response to that post was very poor. No wonder most Rangers fans have a seig mentality.

{Ed001's Note - no it is because of these kind of thoughts being posted everywhere that people are having a kick at you.}

28 Dec 2015 09:50:59
Ed I take your point and I was trying to be mindful of trying not to revert back to the arrogance of the past when Rangers were this and Rangers were that
The conversation started with one of the guests asking if I would be asking Rangers for a refund for my season ticket for the last 20 years as we had fraudulent won all the trophies
This was not a conversation started by me saying not long now till you see the old Rangers swagger into town and hump you off the park.

The object of my post was to highlight the difficulty ahead of us
If the opposition fans think this way I can see why its proving difficult for Rangers to get people from the club into this higher position within the Scottish game
its my opinion we will be excluded at every turn. The question is what can we do to address this situation.

{Ed001's Note - you just have to treat it as banter, rather than hatred, then maybe things can heal. Fans feel cheated by the way Rangers won, that is understandable. It is also understandable that Rangers fans feel it is unfair that they are getting the stick about it, as you didn't run the club in an unfair way. It needs both sides to remember it is a game and stop taking it so seriously and everyone will be happier.}

28 Dec 2015 10:22:45
Cheers
All the best to all Rangers fans for
2016.

28 Dec 2015 10:27:41
Ed u are clearly not a fan of our club and that is fine by me. I have no problem with that what so ever. We all get to choose what team we will follow. But if all u read is arrogant posts on here why not ed on another fans forum.

{Ed001's Note - what? Are you taking the mick? Surely you must be trying to be funny?}

28 Dec 2015 10:47:05
Ed people do hate rangers and from an irrational point of view I work on building site all over Scotland and the bile spewed from some of these people is on a par with the bigotry that has darkened the old firm some people have hatred in them they just need a banner to March under. I had on guy i gave a job to who was dundee utd supporter the guy was sound if he shut up about his views on the old firm he went about asking folk what team they supported which is common practice but when it came to the boys who supported the gers he would stop work rant at them tell them how much he hated them constantly thinking of something and having a go i tried telling him we were all mixed and it was all about banter not hatred and that if he didn't stop I would have to let him go as someone would end up thumping him even the time hated listening to him. This has been the feeling all over hearts, hibs, everybody they want to blame someone for their own clubs failures. Look back to when we first got in trouble Geoff brown and John yorkston saying how St. Johnstone and Dunfermline would have won the league if it wasn't for us yet when sky offered the good money the old firm said take it but all these other teams wanted to stay with setanta thinking they were so smart what do rangers and celtic know before that we had the breakaway ten going to kick the old firm out well look how well they have done with one of us gone imagine celtic out of it too they would be screwed they know this when we spent money they didn't look at England and see them still spending debt well beyond our but they still attract investment all Scotland attracts is negativity. Blame Rangers for everything that is wrong talk ourselves down at every opportunity, don't listen to the ones that are successful in their field what would they know that's really going to attract outside investment in our game.
