I watched the Hamburg match tonight and Bates was absolutely shocking. No way he was ever good enough for us.

03 Aug 2018 22:18:30
One bad game and he’s not good enough? Get a life .

04 Aug 2018 02:08:19
He's just a kid who's moved to a new country, settle pettle.

04 Aug 2018 05:18:44
To be fair he was a tad inconsistent and thus a bit unreliable. A fantastic game against the unwashed ( which is what I beleive he was signed on the back of ) then very poor performances against Motherwell etc. Wish the boy all the best however.

04 Aug 2018 06:51:57
He was terrible last season as well.

03 Aug 2018 20:37:47
Just an insight into the dark side

First up is Plastic Paddy, Irish Republican ( though he's never left Coatbridge in his life ) can be seen staggering around in an oversize foam Guiness hat who's all about ' the cause '!

Next we have No Soap Sean, who thinks a walk outside in the rain constitutes good hygiene practice!
We also have Never Ashamed, Always Offended ( AKA Precious Pud ) who thinks songs from the old country are cultural and everything else is sectarian and bigoted and when challenged comes away with the classic ' whataboutery '!

We also have Always Cheated, Never Defeated ( AKA Pub Bore ) who can recite every referee mistake since 1888 but was only born in 1990! When challenged about honest Celtic mistakes he always cries ' stonewaller '.
Lastly
I would introduce the tax expert, financial expert and litigation expert but they are currently ploughing through the Paradise Papers to find any sort of links to Rangers.

03 Aug 2018 22:15:51
To be honest why even talk/ think about them? Let them be the ones talking about and thinking about us if they want. Personally I don’t care about Celtic.

03 Aug 2018 22:53:29
Haha great analysis stewartyyblue! You'll ratlle some cages with that btw 🤣 sometimes the truth hurts eh? No one likes us, we don't care! #letsgo.

03 Aug 2018 23:22:09
They are all experts on Rangers no matter how they are doing or who they are playing they are more interested in what’s going on with us. Since the financial meltdown these people have taken hatred to new depths. An utterly contemptible support who spew hatred everytime they open their mouths.

03 Aug 2018 14:59:42
Kaney1983, I watched both the rangers and Celtic games the last few nights and the Croatian team were better than Rosenborg imo. If you couldn't see they were a decent team then you are clueless. I'm not saying they were brilliant, however they had some right good players. They pumped hadjuk split 4-1 at weekend, I thought rangers after only a few weeks into the season with practically a new team gave a wonderful performance last night .

03 Aug 2018 15:09:46
Djab, stop that positivity right now!

03 Aug 2018 15:15:11
On a serious note, the team were fantastic. Some of hen only crossed paths nearly 2 weeks ago. This team will only get better.

Like you say, people who cannot see Osijek are a quality side are absolutely clueless. Even worse if they cannot see how much this Rangers team has improved in such a short space of time.

Been a while since the stadium was that buzzing and without tension and nerves. Can’t wait for Aberdeen and Maribor now! Let’s go.

03 Aug 2018 15:22:16
Gonna preface this by saying "gulp* I agree with Sutton. When they ain't playing us I want to see all Scottish sides do well in Europe so get ready to mash the disagree button. Grats Celtic, Well done Hibs (though I hate your manager) and Aberdeen you held a quality Burnley team unlucky ( now have a stinker on Sunday.
That was a very good team we deservedly beat I don't think Maribor are any better.
I have deliberately kept out of the Morelos debate on here, cause I was unsure myself, though he should have scored last night his performance last night was stellar. I still think he needs a partner up front but that's for S G. We gave the ball away to easily again, Ejaria the main but not only culprit, thid led to most of their attacks. Goldson and Katic ( 3 goals in 6 games) look far and away the best CB pairing in the SPL. Jack and Coulibally were brilliant and Candieas too Mcgregor a real presence. SG says he wants 2 or 3 more players lokking forward to them appearing.

03 Aug 2018 17:00:51
I watched the Man U Liverpool game the other day and man were horrendous, now does that make them worse than Osijek?

Rosenberg were average so were Osijek. difference is Rosenberg would beat osijek easily.

Now Aberdeen and Motherwell away will b the real test and Maribor will b a step up from osijek.

03 Aug 2018 17:44:09
Kaney, you’re arse is making bottoms I think mate 😂😂😂 you’re absolutely raging! ‘Rosenberg would beat Osijek’. Embarrassing.

03 Aug 2018 18:39:55
Bearmode. what is there too be worried about. the Stevie g express . cringeworthy. were have I heard that 55 is coming, was it at Xmas last season, yes was it summer 2017, yes was it summer 2016, yes. How many false dawns? Fact is the rangers don't have the infrastructure, finance or vision to give us a challenge, signing free transfers getting loans in and spending a few million just won’t do it. What happens if Gerrard fails?

03 Aug 2018 20:50:52
You hope.

It’s good to know you’re worried about it though. Try not to let it keep you awake at night timmy.

04 Aug 2018 00:55:35
Kaney, “signing free transfers, getting a few loans in and spending a few million” 😂😂😂 what else are you supposed to do if you need to bring better players in? Maybe asking the wrong person since you lot are raging you’ve only signed one player and Brenda isn’t happy about it.

04 Aug 2018 08:05:02
Why are you even engaging with the person?

04 Aug 2018 09:37:32
What happens if Gerrard fails?

04 Aug 2018 10:51:14
What happens if Brenda fails?

04 Aug 2018 10:53:07
Ps if Stevie didn’t fail in any quarter . I hope Ryan Jack ties a Rangers scarf around the unwashed neck of griffis.

03 Aug 2018 13:18:03
Stunned at the negativity as per usual.

Osijek are a quality side who would have absolutely ran over the top of us the last two seasons.

4 competitive games in. 1 goal conceded. 3rd round of Europa League and the season hasn't even kicked off yet.

03 Aug 2018 13:43:30
Season has kicked off as the Europa league is part of the season.

03 Aug 2018 13:48:46
How are Osijek a quality side, please explain your rationale to me.

If Osijek are a quality side then Rosenberg must be a great side and Burnley World beaters (and yes I know Aberdeen lost but at 180 they held there own)

Osijek are an average team from the Croatian league, Hibs and Aberdeen would have beaten then over 2 legs.

03 Aug 2018 13:59:35
spot on bear mode we’ve come along way in a short space of time

they wld have turned us over last season no question

delighted with team spirit togetherness and work ethic

defence looks sound midfield too cple additions up top and were ready.

Let’s Go!

03 Aug 2018 14:37:53
Oh really, would Aberdeen and Hibs have beaten Osijek?
Can I get a shot of your crystal ball once your done with it mate?

Osijek had not conceded a goal at home in Europe since 2000, until they played us last week. They’ve played some top sides in that time such as Anderlecht, Rapid and Austria Vienna, PSV and many more.

The way you disrespect teams like Osijek explains your entitled point of view. Rangers aren’t what they used to be, neither is the rest of Scottish football, but things are getting better.

Il keep attending games and supporting the team, you can put them down if you wish.

03 Aug 2018 15:11:04
Failed to score at home*** not concede. But shows how well the defence played.

03 Aug 2018 15:21:24
No way on this Earth that Hibs, Aberdeen or Celtic would have beaten the Croats over 2 legs.

03 Aug 2018 15:23:50
Just realised you’re an obsessed creature sitting fuming that Rangers are playing well😂😂😂.

03 Aug 2018 17:29:45
Ha ha 2 disagrees! Wonder who they are!

03 Aug 2018 23:22:27
Last season the Croats would have wiped the floor with us home and away. We've improved massively and this is obviously causing some anxiety for fans of other clubs.

04 Aug 2018 00:35:17
Kaney obsessed. Would say go to your own site but we're all you talk about there too.

03 Aug 2018 13:13:30
Is the home game against St Mirren now moved to Sunday 12th August due to Maribor game?

03 Aug 2018 13:34:27
I was wondering this myself and I think we can assume that it has to be, I would expect an announcement this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

03 Aug 2018 15:19:41
Yes the rangers V st. mirren game will now take place at ibrox on sunday the 12th of august, due to our european game against maribor next thursday!

03 Aug 2018 17:03:30
Thanks coop.

03 Aug 2018 23:22:41
I’m actually raging they’ve changed the date, my sons 3rd birthday on the 11th so Couldn’t make game so used the secondary ticketing scheme, now they’ve changed the date and my tickets been sold! Was thinking of phoning ticket centre but probably just waste my time!

03 Aug 2018 11:44:52
Anyone know all the words to that buffalo soldier morelos song? It's a belter!

03 Aug 2018 12:35:30
He's a Buffalo soldier
From the heart of Columbia
He knows what he means to us
He's a goal scoring genius

Alfredo, alfredo, alfredo, alfredo

To the tune of Bob Marleys Buffalo soldier. Must admit when I heard it on the tele last night it thought it was the banana splits turn 🤣.

03 Aug 2018 13:03:02
Ha ha Dunoon, I thought the same last night!

03 Aug 2018 13:58:44
And me :)

03 Aug 2018 15:47:15
Maybe because Bob Marley ripped it off. LOL.

03 Aug 2018 10:48:42
Everyone has an opinion but from what I seen we look like a solid unit. I came away from the game with a bit of optimism of where this team can go and how much they can still improve. Defence looks solid, teams will always have attacking oppertunitys but i felt we defended well enough. Midfield worked hard and created enough opportunities to score more goals and I do not care what anyone else says but Morelos works his socks of and his overall game is definitely improving. Do we need to improve - yes, are we heading in the right direction - yes.

03 Aug 2018 09:49:13
I thought Candias was outstanding last night getting into great positions passing and never giving up the chase! Team look solid and working as a unit 🔴⚪️🔵 🇬🇧.

03 Aug 2018 08:45:51
Morning Bears. Through to round 3 of the Europa League qualifying, further than I'd expected so brilliant stuff SG. I didn't see the game but apparently Ryan Jack has a magnificent game. I'm really pleased for him. Let's hope he takes that form to the sheep pen on Sunday. Any thoughts on the team for Sunday? As I say, I didn't see the game last night but should Windass and Middleton start on Sunday? Four Europa League games and two friendlies, no defeats and only one goal conceded. Not bad.

03 Aug 2018 09:00:58
Well done to the team last night. It shows how well SG is doing with the team. We would have lost a game like that last season.

03 Aug 2018 09:29:32
I watched the game in Spain last night. I thought Ryan Jack was excellent. I've always liked him so maybe I'm a bit biased. I thought the link up play and workrate from Morelos was excellent. Unfortunately I just don't see a finisher in him. Unlike Miller, Boyd and McCoist he doesn't get lots of chances so he has to have a better ratio. or a partner up front. Unfortunately for him the modern game has only one striker. McGregor is simply excellent.

03 Aug 2018 11:24:58
I think Ejaria will not enjoy Pittodrie on Sunday. I’d maybe start with a bit more grit.

03 Aug 2018 06:16:13
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 3rd August 2018

03 Aug 2018 01:05:09
Looks like we now have someone who can deliver a decent corner kick in ryan kent! we have been dire at corner kicks in recent years in my opinion and thought he whipped them in superbly.

03 Aug 2018 06:30:01
Most of them didn’t beat the first man! He did ok last night but I’d be disappointed if Middleton wasn’t getting more starts out on left side.

03 Aug 2018 11:39:03
Kent lastnight was a one trick pony, the one time he changed it up he got by his man and crossed from the by line, he needs to mix it up more or he will be dropped.

03 Aug 2018 11:57:41
Had a great game but I also thought his corners were terrible.

03 Aug 2018 12:03:24
Would much rather see Middleton given more game time, Kent worked their right back but I don't really remember him ever beating his man, Middleton would have, I don't think Kent is a bad player but as soon as half time came I wanted Middleton on.

02 Aug 2018 23:47:19
Last 5 goals have been headers. Good to see.
