Only one competitive league match, but I feel we still need to sign a quality keeper, as Wes does not command his box and remains an accident waiting to happen. Also need a quality full back and an out and out goalscoring striker.
Add those three and we are in with a shout.
Walker would be a bonus.



06 Aug 2017 23:52:16
So, GMacd, we're almost half a team away from being 'in with a shout'? Oh dear.



07 Aug 2017 05:11:37
If we are going to replace Wes, we should go for Zander Clark at St Johnstone

Played most SPFL and Cup matches last season. Good experience and a great prospect. and he's a Bluenose.



07 Aug 2017 18:15:46
Why replace fod he is a good keeper



06 Aug 2017 22:26:25
Maybe I watched the wrong game but I definately think we played well today and was pleased with the tempo. On another day we would've won by more but that's football. However I stated here a week ago that we haven't got a proper goal scorer other than Miller which is worrying. Positive not Dorrans looks to be match fit now and was sharp today. What has happened to Windass? Ha - maybe fear of being sold gave him the wake up call he needed.



06 Aug 2017 23:27:30
Waghorn to Ipswich 1 million according to reports



06 Aug 2017 23:42:55
IMO I think that we defended too deep and invited Motherwell into the game by giving them too much room jack and dorrans had good games they just need to push up a little and hold the middle of the park more.



07 Aug 2017 00:00:10
If it turns out to be true then wow a million for him is more than brilliant, thought we'd be lucky to get 200k let alone tha, he's easily one off the worst players to play for us, nice guy but that doesn't win us matches, best of luck to him tho if he does move, hopefully now the walker deal can be focused on exactly what we're needing



06 Aug 2017 19:25:54
The performance today wasn't the best but it's about getting 3 points at the moment. It's still a new team and they will be getting use to one another. Once big Herrera gets one goal he'll be off and running. Should give Pena and Morelos the full 90 on Wednesday. Dorrans was a total stand out. Jack done all the thankless task stuff. Right back is still a bit dodgy and I know fod made a great save at the end but he should've claimed the cross for their goal. As much as I'm a Kenny Miller fan I though play slowed down when it came to him, wanted to many touchs IMO. Onwards and upwards tho, get walker in and a new right back and we have a solid team. Dunfermline game is a great chance to get fitness and confidence up. Bring on Lennon and his muppets next Saturday. Let's get ibrox rocking.



06 Aug 2017 19:57:23
We also need a goalscoring striker. Miller, Waghorn and Herrera won't score enough goals and it will be difficult for Morelos during his first season. Lack of goals is the main worry for the team going forward



06 Aug 2017 20:08:57
sry James agree with a lot but thought nFoderingham had smashing game.



06 Aug 2017 21:00:15
I genuinely can't understand the amount of negative comments regarding big Wes. The amount of one on one saves he's had over the past two seasons is very impressive.

He can get the pulse racing when he's got the ball at his feet but I can't recall a single goal he's been at fault for for over playing.



06 Aug 2017 21:23:26
Wes has been superb most games . thought he shoulda came out for the ball when they scored . we had great first half I thought, should have scored more .2nd half they came in to it . pressure was on the team to win and we did



06 Aug 2017 21:36:37
Herrera will not hit double figures this year, he's not a prolific goal scorer and as much as I think Miller has been excellent he's not the answer this year either. Give Morelos a run of games and buy a goal scorer asap. I thought Windass was excellent and the partnership in the middle of the park will get better.



06 Aug 2017 22:04:23
He could have saved that ball today if he was off his line and that would've prevented a goal.



06 Aug 2017 22:15:06
agree with most of the posts on here tonight bears all fairly positive and a crucial 3 points today

I thought we started game very well and prob shd have been 2/ 3 up in first half but the lack of a proven striker is a slight concern and may cost us

miller is not an out and out finnisher who will get us 20/ 25 goals this season and although it's v early big herera doesn't look like he'll fill that role either. morelos may prove to get us goals but i think we still need a poacher

i'd go get walker to help give us options in final 1/ 3 as well as a striker if waggy leaves

special mention for dorrans thought he was class today and windass showed flashes of real promise

onwards and upwards



06 Aug 2017 23:26:10
Can't stand how negative everybody is being I thought we played well today I remember in the 9 in a row days we had a lot of games where we really struggled, what are people expecting?



06 Aug 2017 23:22:53
Aye wes was weak and less than commanding for their goal



06 Aug 2017 23:25:53
James2016 I agree with all you say. It was important we won the three points and start to build momentum. Our keeper was too busy today for my liking and we gave away to many cheap free kicks. let's get Herrera more involved, he could develop a cult status under the right conditions.



06 Aug 2017 23:27:53
Fod is a good shot stopper but he is not a commanding keeper. He should've been out for that cross and taken out any player, Motherwell or Rangers, that got on his way.



06 Aug 2017 23:31:55
I have to ask what did you see in herrara to suggest 1 goal he will be off and running? he done nothing he didn't win a header totally hopeless how he lasted till 85 mins is mental! i know it's early days but he looks pish! morelos done more in the 8 minutes he got to help the team!



07 Aug 2017 07:01:31
I know a lot of people will criticize Herrera, but I don't recall a single time where he was able to accept the ball and turn to face the defense. His job is clearly to just hold the play and allow Windass, Miller and Candeias to run past him. a thankless task, but he will reap the rewards eventually. Early days for him in a new and very different league and style of play to what he has been playing his entire career.



06 Aug 2017 18:32:42
Think we could have done with an exrra central midfielder in there today in place of one of the strikers. As a partnership miller/ hererra wasnt great and thought motherwell picked up a lot of possession in the middle. Hopefullly pena is the man to fill that spot. Some variation of a 4 1 4 1 formation, thought morales looked more dangerous when he came on and might do okay with the support of more advanced wide men. Windass 1st half was immense!



06 Aug 2017 18:54:53
Windass was superb pappy, but I thought candieas had a great game also, he looks a far better player than McKay in my opinion



06 Aug 2017 19:00:49
Totally agree, think he's a great wee find. Very impressed with Cardoso as well.



06 Aug 2017 19:03:33
Surely Penna must be fit and prepared enough to get game time on Wednesday against Dunfermline.



06 Aug 2017 19:28:52
Windass was great in first half but completely disappeared in the second half



06 Aug 2017 23:29:29
Pena and morales should start against dunfermline. Even if they are only half fit you would expect them to be good enough for that level.



06 Aug 2017 17:45:41
Do think that Steven Naismith is the missing piece of the jigsaw that we need to put games to bed, good start but will need to be more clynical in front of goal to really compete with Celtic.



06 Aug 2017 16:11:05
The boy mount would score goals for us, I know early days but the Mexican s lòok like bad business imo.



06 Aug 2017 16:44:25
Jake16 everybody has there opinion, so here is mine regarding Moult. He has a great forearm smash and misses as many chances as our players. Would he enhance our goals scoring rate, don't think so



06 Aug 2017 17:50:18
Once again I will reiterate a point I have made before.
Why is Stevie May not wearing a Rangers jersey. His goal scoring talent is proven in Scotland. It's a bit of a joke how he is being overlooked. Aberdeen will sign him and he'll score a barrel load to our disadvantage. This really annoys me. Just my opinion.



06 Aug 2017 20:12:19
Moult misses as many chances as our guys? Herrera and morelos have had the the opportunity to play in 2 euro ties, 3+ friendlies and now a league game and they have barely been able to even fashion a chance!

Griffiths and Dembele (if not sold) will score 20+ for them and we have no one who will get close based on what I have seen so far. Early days, but moult looks better than Herrera to me. At least he uses his height and win a few aerial battles. Herrera couldn't even do that. Hope I'm wrong



06 Aug 2017 21:47:46
Herrera played his first game today and people are righting him off already give him a chance to get up to speed with it thot all round rangers were great so I'm happy with how we played looking forward to this season we are the people



06 Aug 2017 22:57:13
He didn't play his first game. He played his 3rd competitive game.



06 Aug 2017 23:08:52
I think Herrera looks pretty good not the most energetic of players but has very good link up play when he has the ball he has some nice touches and don't often just give the ball a way so I like him tbh



06 Aug 2017 23:09:44
I really think the guy just needs a goal to boost confidence but I wouldn't be surprised if Morelos starts against Dunfermline



06 Aug 2017 23:10:29
If Moult was playing for us he would get sent off every game. Elbows and forearm smashes - I thought I was watching the old world of sport wrestling with Kent Walton lol. Young ones - Google it!



06 Aug 2017 23:11:55
I'm a satisfied bear with our overall performance today against motherwell, especially the first half, where i thought josh windass was immense! What a transformation in windass already, from last season! We look a lot solid throughout the team, which now has a spine to it!

I've said repeatedly on here before, that i think we should sign motherwell right winger, chris cadden! This young man always impresses me, whenever he's played against us! He has terrific attributes, pace, very strong and powerful, direct, with very good delivery! What's not to like here?

We'll have to move fast for cadden as brighton and hearts are showing massive interest in him! Hearts have actually had a bid of around between 200k-300k turned down! I would like to see us sign both cadden and moult and reckon we'd get both for 1million quid in total!

I think it would be tremendous for our squad to have 4 wingers fighting for the 2 right and left wide positions! The 4 i'd hope for is of course candeias, dalcio, who are already there, with jamie walker and chris cadden who i hope we sign! Thoughts please fellow bears!



06 Aug 2017 23:13:07
Need someone up front . Maybe new boys will come good but get in Naisy or May . Will need cover for Miller next year so get them in now. Depending too much on mid for goals



06 Aug 2017 23:32:06
Stevie may isn't wearing a rangers jersey for 1 reason he is not good enough he done nothing since he left st Johnstone! he was hardly prolific for them when he was there either! bang average injury prone player



07 Aug 2017 03:20:27
Correct, Laudrup1, he started his career with a bit of a flourish with St Johnstone and Accies but has faded badly. He's done nothing for almost 4 years and I see nothing I'd want in a Rangers jersey there.



06 Aug 2017 15:58:46
Got the win today, but miles off it, they should have had at least one penalty, can't see us even finishing second on that performance, we got tore to shreds down the left wing, lucky they didn't have a decent striker,



06 Aug 2017 16:12:57
Jeeso a bit negative saying you can't see us finishing second! To play badly and win is positive for me. Hit the bar, hit the post, won 2-1 and 3 points in the bag.



06 Aug 2017 18:33:20
That's a more than a bit over the top



06 Aug 2017 20:14:51
Billy Blue, god would not like to sit with you waiting my horse, fixed odds or lotto results,



06 Aug 2017 23:07:28
Good start 3 points in the bag! Another day and we could have had 4 goals! Only negative for me is our keeper once again failed to command his area and was rooted when they scored



06 Aug 2017 23:17:26
Billy - it's time they upped your medication and gave you some happy pills.

I have never seen anything resembling a positive contribution about the club from you!

Massive turnaround this year led by Dave King and managed by Pedro. if you can't see anything positive I think you may be a Parhead regular



06 Aug 2017 15:23:00
A win is a win, that league table won't stay like that for long.

Frustrating that we didn't get a couple more, Motherwell played that like a cup final!

The team looks good but we will see how they perform when faced with better sides.



06 Aug 2017 15:49:52
I think Rangers hung on like it was a cup final rafbob. Early days i know, but i don't see anything that would worry Celtic at all. Should be a good battle for 2nd place right enough IMO.



06 Aug 2017 16:16:44
Yeah @bhampot I'm thinking Aberdeen will beat u guys to 2nd place . only here to see the rangers u are



06 Aug 2017 18:21:12
I'm not biting Bhampot, you can't honestly say that you think Motherwell will play much better this season.

Second place will be ours this year and I'm hoping to take more away from the games against your team.

Our team will only improve when other players who were out today take part. I'm an optimistic person 👍.



06 Aug 2017 18:57:33
I honestly think more to come from both teams raf, Motherwell were good by last seasons standards, like Rangers, its a new squad. Not looking for a bite today, i think the league will be tighter after Celtic at the top. I don't expect Celtic to go dramatically downhill as i don't expect Rangers to suddenly start breezing by games. The gap won't be as big points wise, Rangers may even get a win in one of the derby matches or a cup tie between us. But overall i believe Celtic are too strong at the moment for the rest.



06 Aug 2017 19:01:11
Jcgers, is your post in regionalised text, or are you in fact Yoda.



06 Aug 2017 19:15:28
Bhampot, very reasonable assertions. I would take second place and delaying Celtic's title party till the Split.



06 Aug 2017 19:30:54
I might be pot man but your still a bam



06 Aug 2017 22:33:58
Lucky to win, very edgy. But a win is a win.



06 Aug 2017 23:20:07
Got to agree with a lot of what Bham says tbh. that's the way all teams will play against us because they see us as a scalp so the players better get use to it. thot we were good 1st half bit the 2nd half hold up play was garbage. early days but Herrera has a lot of convincing to do



06 Aug 2017 13:56:51
Who is this windass guy? Flying machine down the left. Hope this is a sign of things to come from him.



06 Aug 2017 14:25:10
I know haha, who is in the number 11 because it's not the same Windass from last season!

Gutted to be in at half time 1 each!



06 Aug 2017 15:39:40
Windass completely fell out of the game second half and needs to perform like he did in first half for most of the game. Good result but maybe slightly fortunate to win. Badly need a goal scoring striker if we are to challenge



06 Aug 2017 18:24:02
Herrera seems a bit quiet up front for me, Morelos might do better if he's starting the game?

Kenny will undoubtedly get a few again this year.

What we need is a keeper who commands the box and is confident coming for a ball.



06 Aug 2017 22:35:05
Windlass has always had pace



06 Aug 2017 22:37:49
Think Moult would still be a good buy, awkward to play against, hardworker and with the service he would get with us would score plenty



06 Aug 2017 23:57:50
Windlass was good today in the first half fell away in the second half but that's easy just sub him after 50 mins most games if he plays that well in short bursts.



06 Aug 2017 13:12:01
Live on sky mate, check modbro if you ain't got sky.



06 Aug 2017 12:45:11
Just watched the Notts forest highlights and they where lucky to get the win, their style of play was exactly like he had us playing, not closing down, allowing opposition too much space, weak defending, no clue chasing shadows, good goal from mckay although he was unchallenged and allowed dace



06 Aug 2017 15:50:47
Who cares



06 Aug 2017 20:11:45
No one, I just happened to be watching championship highlights on tv and noticed the same style of poor football we were playing last season, we weren't great today but a vast improvement from last season that's all



06 Aug 2017 23:23:01
Morale to your story?



06 Aug 2017 12:14:22
Go 2-1 to rangers today with miller getting the Winner and hopefully a decent performance.



06 Aug 2017 21:57:22
Nearly right at least i got the Score right



06 Aug 2017 12:05:24
I'm concerned with the striker situation at the moment, firstly I don't see Herrera getting 20 goals+ and the other thing I can't understand is why he is infront of Morelos in the pecking order. Morelos has created more chances in the short time he's been on the pitch from what I've seen. I really wish we would get Moult.



06 Aug 2017 13:59:44
Lay off Hererra, he works hard and other players get the opportunity to score. Give the guy a break



06 Aug 2017 14:27:56
Herrera looked so off the pace it's embarrassing. Can't see him getting anywhere near 20 goals



06 Aug 2017 16:34:18
Herrera did his job and we won a game would have dropped points in last season. We need to be pleased with that. Jack, Dorrans, Alves and Windass all had decent games and Fod saved us at the end. Massive scope for improvement in all areas but keep winning. Big plus that team spirit appears to be good.



06 Aug 2017 16:58:53
god help us, so much negativity, what would you guys be like if it was a draw, first competitive game away from home and you would think we git beat. give them time to gell. are we better than last season, hell yeah



06 Aug 2017 22:34:25
Get moult and walker asap



06 Aug 2017 23:15:54
Too right gees. Played ok Well played a stormer. If that is us at this stage we will be frightening . Cup win during the week cmon



06 Aug 2017 09:47:47
McKay wanted a move, garner wasn't good enough to be rangers main striker, o'halloran never wanted to succeed at rangers for obvious reasons bad attitude, all these players are just passing through on our way back to greatness, we will have a successful season this year in my eyes we have vastly improved the first team Alves Dorrans Jack Herrera Candeass definitely a challenge coming this season hopefully celtic can handle it . . .



06 Aug 2017 11:49:41
Totally agree. They all had many chances and failed. Time to move on with better players. A win is a must today and at least 15 points out first 6 games. Time for the players to step up to the plate and hit the ground running. In terms of walker we need to get this deal over the line. Still reckon right back is weak link as tav can't be trusted to defend. Cover for this position is a must before window closed.



06 Aug 2017 08:38:03
Pedro has came out to say that Pena is learning how phisical the spfl which to me is bull I think he's over weight but think he should be starting today if no be worried about him considering we spent abit on him.



06 Aug 2017 09:54:19
He hasn't played in it yet and it sounds like a strange statement if it has been made. Is he talking about training sessions? The one stand out signing for us, and there are a few contenders, is Fabio Cardosa. I think he's going to make a big difference to our defence. Alongside Alves I hope the last few seasons of when conceding a corner kick feels like we might just as well have conceded a penalty is over.
