Well I agree with stubbs for once. A 2 goal advantage isn't a comfortable advantage

28 May 2015 23:50:39
Difference being that we were the home team with 2. with second game being away. This time is the home team who are 2 up. and with their own support and ground to help them . hard ask i'm afraid. Different scenario.

28 May 2015 23:56:55
ALLY, Motherwell were incredibly sloppy after we scored, the nerves have kicked in and McCall will have the lads ready to go flying at them

29 May 2015 09:23:19
Onlyshowaround would you have agreed with Stubbs had he said it after the 1st leg last week? Or now simply because it is something you want to believe?

29 May 2015 09:39:30
No actually Gaz I agreed with stubbs. A 2 goal advantage is never comfortable. Everyone in football knows a 2 goal advantage isn't a comfortable one.

29 May 2015 20:59:16
No worries onlyshow, it definitely has a stick or twist element to it, strangely more so with the home leg to come, Celtic didn't know what to do after 3-1 in Amsterdam O'Neill's 2nd year, lost 1-0 at Parkhead. If you want any comfort for Sunday to date every single SPL play off final game has been a two goal victory for the away team. 0-2,0-2,1-3. So ya never know. :)

Typical rangers not taking our chances and we can't blame mcall mans only working with tools he got a hope super ally watched that tonight and seen his mess he created for us or maybe he was watching his bank account going up and up instead watp

28 May 2015 22:55:44
Sorry but I think you can blame McCall for tonight. He is very negative and keeps playing players who haven't performed all season

28 May 2015 23:03:38
But the mess he created beat hibs to get us in the semi final to the final? Stop blaming mccoist, is we won tonight youd not be saying that

29 May 2015 00:02:41
Let's be honest if Hibs had some decent strikers they would have beat us home and away. Against QOTS we were hanging on at home with 15 mins to go. We came up against a struggling team tonight and they wiped the floor with us

29 May 2015 06:38:39
Mccalls record is played 16 won 7 drew 6 lost 3 is that really good enough for you? And what about the anti jig brigade what are you saying? The defence were leaderless and lost 3 goals for the second time in 5 weeks without him so now it's Foster that's getting it. These players should be and are good enough to beat well with the right tactics but I fear that's just a dream. We have had plenty time to get it right since Ally stood down, he played 27 matches and there have been 26 since he went you need to look else where for your scapegoat.

29 May 2015 07:45:24
All the goals came down our left hand side and Zaliukas and mcgregor looked culpable at number 1 and 2. Foster gave tge ball away in the attacking half at number 3 and shoulders the blame for the result as usual. As I've said repeatedly on the site I don't think Foster should be given a new contract based on the entire season but guys please stop the villification of one player. All of the defence was terrible and after a bright start we got suckered too often on the break. We were unlucky at times but we now need a big performance to get through. We can still get there. The first goal is crucial and you never know. Maybe a few changes of personnel as McCall suggested might be the answer

28 May 2015 22:02:29
It's not over, would start with Walsh and Ferguson out wide on Sunday Boyd through middle. Vuckic in behind!
3-1 is a bad start but what's the point in being negative.

28 May 2015 22:22:12
I totally agree with you keyser. I think we need another season in the championship so king can invest in his premiership quality squad and give them time to gel. That way we can go up to the top flight with a team
confident in its abilities. A good
mix of youth and experience, with the confidence to take on the current top flight teams. This lot would get hammered regularly. We need to rebuild. I can live with one more year for the long term good of our great team.

28 May 2015 22:37:07
There is a difference between being negative and realistic. Team were a shambles and ripped apart by a poor team. Do you really think we can keep a clean sheet Sunday? Something we have managed 3 times since McCall took over. Only consolation were the performances of Murdoch and Walsh and the fact that 12 imposters are out of contract in the summer

28 May 2015 23:02:13
Sorry johnsd1 but what premiership quality player would join us to play in the championship? Also how could we afford that calibre of player?

Another year in the championship would be disastrous. Season ticket prices will stay the same meaning King will need to invest some of his promised funds just to survive the season which will deprive us of the monies needed to challenge in the premiership for when we finally get there. Finding external investors will prove more difficult.

Let's hope for a stellar performance on Sunday. I genuinely believe our future relies on it.

28 May 2015 21:54:46
Let hope for something special on Sunday

On the bright £1/2 million to Newcastle unlikely to crystallise.

Fear we maybe too busy fighting on 12 June rather than building for the future!

Scottish football broken anyway thanks to SFA mismanagement good luck to new sponsors I won't be using them soon

Must assign Hibs to champsionship for ever - Pedrie should rot there!

28 May 2015 22:18:13
Get out of your strop OP.
It's time to stop blaming the SFA and the rest of Scottish football for all the failings of the club.

28 May 2015 22:26:15
Bitter, bitter man.

28 May 2015 22:57:57
It wasn't the sfa , Newcastle, hibs , Celtic or Ladbrokes that were totally inept against a Motherwell team on a quarter of your teams wages , it was Stuart McCall's tactics and your overpaid players who made last night happen .

28 May 2015 21:50:11
Tonights performance isn't the reason why we won't be playing in the premiership next season. that's firmly down to mr mccoist and his utterly useless management team and the under performing so called big names he signed.

28 May 2015 21:44:46
Folks calm down, we are well capable of turning this around! We are the better side and will prove it, 3 0 next week I have no doubt!

28 May 2015 22:04:12
That's what I like to see StefRied.We can still do it, even with these bams we've got!

28 May 2015 22:24:57
Thanks gkk, I have a feeling that we will be eating humble pie and toasting Boyd next week. Nothing to lose after tonight, get the ball in the box and let boyd do (what he used to do) best.

On another note I do think mcCalls time is up even when (if) we win

28 May 2015 22:10:41
I love your enthusiasm, I also don't think this is over. There were good spells in that game tonight, especially the final 10 minutes or so. Granted there were many moments when we sacrificed possession easily and this must be looked at in great depth. school boy errors. We need to be clinical in finishing but when you look back we had good chances, we need to keep pushing. All defence tonight looked lost, that's why the result is so poor, Motherwells speed on the breaks made us look very poor and slow. 3 goals at Fir Park is not an impossible ask, very difficult but we all need to get behind the players and hope for 90 minutes like the last 10 tonight and who knows. fingers crossed lads. This club simply can't be in Championship again next season. We need promotion and new faces throughout. I would stand by and completely support McCall though.

28 May 2015 23:21:00
I would stand by McCall to Dumfries but unfortunately not up to you and I. One way he might just get the job is to turn thi around.

28 May 2015 21:33:35
I actually feel sick at the thought of being in the championship again people on here talking about advocaat coming back again we will be lucky to get manager of Kilbirnie ladeside.

28 May 2015 21:12:02
blown it bigstyle tonight -
looks more like a new manager now, what a mess we are in. how do we attract replacements for all those under achievers?

28 May 2015 21:27:41
looks like we are playing with 10 men. All the balls into the box have been awful in particular from Wallace. 3-1 we have a chance, 3-0 we are goosed!

28 May 2015 21:31:38
Well well well who would have thought it.!Challenging CFC for trophies Mr King??12 the of June will be rangers biggest test or a summer of discontent

28 May 2015 20:51:37
2 down at halftime - a bridge too far?

Stacked deck - too much for this squad?

28 May 2015 16:28:17
Carlos Cuellar been released by Norwich today, possibly coming back to ibrox?

28 May 2015 16:53:04
Not for me. Best to stop looking backwards.

28 May 2015 17:05:15
We need to look forward not back

28 May 2015 19:19:05
Correct Stewie will we never learn need to stop this looking at the past or we will never move forward

28 May 2015 19:43:45
To old.

28 May 2015 09:08:26
Big game for us tonight.
But also remember for some of our team this will be the last playing at Ibrox for Rangers.
I hope they rise to occasion and do it for everyone who loves our club.

Still think the 12 out of contract shouldn't get them renewed. Nearly all of them have been poor and have nothing to offer club going forward. Hopefully regardless of the outcome of the playoffs someone will start to build a team worthy of the club. Not sure it will be McCall though sure has they wanted him they would have already offered him the job
