I get that its frustrating that Fredo is getting sent off and loads of yellows. HOWEVER - let's remind ourselves that plenty of of our English speaking players go abroad and do well and hit the ground running without a grasp of the lingo initially so let's not even entertain that as an excuse, that's just being small minded. He is just young, raw, talented striker. he's like having two players on the pitch. He is being targeted without a doubt and has in no way deserved to be sent off any or as many yellow cards as he's received.
Do we not remember Luis Suarez biting everyone at Liverpool and they couldn't have got rid quick enough, just turns out he's one of the best strikers in the world. Also SG himself at the start had a bit of a red issue and we now ow that turned out. Morelos is the real deal, the stats don't lie. Fredo gives everything on the pitch for Rangers, every game, all the time. Back the man, good and bad. As Sir Struth said "ignore the noise" let's do what we do best, follow!
08 Dec 2018 21:54:27
Following won't stop him getting sent off or getting suspended and ultimately costing us. Yes he needs support but he needs his baws parted big time. His unpredictability could potentially cost us the title. I like that he has a bit of dig about him but he has to channel that dig productivelyđ.
08 Dec 2018 22:04:57
Luis Saurez bite was because he was already wanting off anyway, he did the same thing with Ajax when he wanted to go to Liverpool.

Sorry but you canât just excuse his poor discipline. Itâs ridiculous the amount of times he gets stupid bookings and never seems to learn from them. As for his stats what about the ones against Celtic? He canât be described as the real deal until he starts banging them in against them.
09 Dec 2018 06:11:42
There's no excuse for all the yellow and red cards but where would we be without him this season?
08 Dec 2018 19:39:45
Right boyzis what's the prediction tomorrows? Me and we elton will be watching on the tv. i'm thinking 2-0 gers.
08 Dec 2018 21:43:59
3-1 - lafferty hat trick đ.
09 Dec 2018 07:52:36
I'm going for rangers 2-0, with lafferty and tav the goalscorers.
08 Dec 2018 18:51:59
Guys long time reader 1st time poster would just like to say really impressed with what Steven Gerrard and his backroom staff have achieved so far gutted after midweek against Aberdeen but can't wait for tomorrow's game things will only get better đŹđ§.
08 Dec 2018 19:13:19
They have done brillant job just hopr we can get all 3 points the mara then a big big game on thursday night.
08 Dec 2018 20:26:44
Everyone including the manager is expecting a huge reaction for tomorrows game against Dundee. let's be honest every player was below par on Wednesday so we can't really get any worse. So being positive, a win tomorrow and nothing else will do.
08 Dec 2018 21:35:43
@hamster65 - welcome aboard. A win tomorrow is a must after Wednesday's debacle! đ.
08 Dec 2018 21:44:20
Wait and hear the boo boys if we don't, goalie.
08 Dec 2018 22:50:16
Bluebilly, We are without Morelos tomorrow so time for Lafferty to shine. i'm going for a 3 nil victory.
09 Dec 2018 06:49:51
And a red card for Morelos.
08 Dec 2018 17:14:25
Anybody think Andy Dallas will make the bench the morn? Would like to see him get a chance scoring goals for fun in reserves.
08 Dec 2018 19:06:49
High chance I think.
08 Dec 2018 21:35:59
I think he should be given a chance. No way Sadiq will be there.
09 Dec 2018 04:15:38
Whatâs happened to young Liam Burt? Heard heâs looking a prospect in reserves and on loan. Will he ever get a chance in the first team?
08 Dec 2018 17:13:20
We need to find another striker to play along with Lafferty, we have Dallas, Mebude, Dodoo, Hardie, Rudden, all on our books, if they are NOT good enough now they never will be, but at this moment in time the last thing we need is to bring in yet more loanees. We need players we can rely on and trust and I feel it is time some of those younger guys are given proper game time. Not sat on the bench to get 10 minutes here and there, which does nothing for them or the club.
Dont tell me how wonderful Morelos is, he has a head as big as the moon, it is full of aggression, anger, cotton wool and he refuses to consider trying to learn our language. He is a very talented misfit who will never change and we should sell him while he has a value. He iscosting us valuable point and putting un-necessary pressure on his team mates.
08 Dec 2018 17:39:21
I hope Dallas does get some game time. Morelos, while not a brilliant striker, neither is he as bad as you make out. Your probably one of those who thinks we should sell him for big bucks (but don't rate him! ) we played bad against the sheep, no question but that result wasn't just down to Morelos. The whole team were p*sh.
08 Dec 2018 18:30:22
Guys 1st time poster would just like to say was gutted after Aberdeen result but now can't wait for game tomorrow think sometimes we all need to take a step back and look at the progress we have made under Steven Gerrard can see only things getting better long term đŹđ§.
08 Dec 2018 18:35:26
Morelos is a cracking player, his attitude is the problem. If he keeps up his petulance it will have a negative impact on his value. He needs to be heavily fined by the club because he is clearly not listening to gerrard. If he behaves like a muppet against celtic and costs us the game then fans on here will find it very hard to defend him. Shape up or ship outđ.
08 Dec 2018 20:24:03
blueberry, my post has nothing to do with our pathetic performance v Aberdeen, he's a bad influence easily. We did ok without Morelos, let's try again WITHOUT him. He is on 25 grand a week so he should be gratefully doing what he is told. it's all about attitude and discipline. It is fairly common for the South American style not to fit in too well in the UK and i really don't care how much or how little we get for him. Sell him before he does any serious damage to our club. Sir Alex would NOT have him anywhere near the club if he was in charge, because he recognises the damage an undisciplined player can cause.
08 Dec 2018 21:11:04
Morelos is league top scorer and after McGregor probably our best player this season. I've no idea what sir Alex has to do with anything either!
08 Dec 2018 21:36:07
Ritchie, saw Hardie score against st Mirren, what I noted was he has filled out.
08 Dec 2018 22:06:58
saying you don't care what fee he goes for is one of the daftest things i have read on here ritchie mate.
08 Dec 2018 23:15:21
blueberry, Sir Alex was probably the best man manager in the game, but go on, you love having the last word so tell me how stupid i am. I won't respond because i have no intention of reading your opinion, i don't value it that's for sure.
09 Dec 2018 06:23:21
I am sorry you've thrown your toys out of the pram Ritchie. Your entitled to your opinion but doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you. We're sitting near the top, have a chance to progress in Europe, we've had some smelly results and performances this season but I think we've made progress. Morelos has been a key player in this. (just my opinion Ritchie, stay calm)
09 Dec 2018 09:12:28
Ritchie1 you havenât got a clue what you are talking about. Alfredo Morelos is the best player we have and arguably the best player in the league. If you canât see how much more dynamic and flowing we look with him in the team as opposed to Lafferty you know nothing about football. Canât defend his disciplinary record but thatâs a small price to pay for what he brings to the team and will ultimately at some stage bring to the clubs coffers.
08 Dec 2018 15:41:16
see killie lying down to the mhanks.
08 Dec 2018 16:23:16
Don't be silly. You could say the same about us over the years. Killie just being outplayed by a better team.
08 Dec 2018 16:34:46
Sheep getting pumped by St. John at home just shows how bad we were on Wednesday.
08 Dec 2018 17:19:30
Think you will find that was lifes ambition, losing to anyone else, whatever.
08 Dec 2018 18:37:47
No excuses for wed night, bad luck, fluke, an off game, whatever drivel it doesn't wash with me. Better put it right tomorrowđđ.
08 Dec 2018 19:50:37
Coldo, admittedly we were poor against the sheep on wednesday night! But look at them and their great manager (NOT), against st. johnstone at the sheepdome today!
Aberdeen are utter s***e and their manager delboy mcinnes couldn't school anybody! We absolutely dodged a bullet, not getting him as our manager! Try and see that! Mcinnes ain't got it!
08 Dec 2018 20:28:51
sitting at the top of the table, why would Kilmarnock lie down to Celtic? what utter sh"te.
08 Dec 2018 21:31:16
Childish post. do you really think any team sitting top is going to lie down to anyone? Teams do not lie down some just aren't good enough to stay the distance.
08 Dec 2018 21:32:13
Was about to say the same as you guys mcc an cool.
Let's forget signing any Killie players now.
08 Dec 2018 21:47:15
Supercoop if the sheep are rubbish, what does that make us?
08 Dec 2018 22:04:15
The sheeps tactics rendered our attacking play ineffective in both games. In both games we had no answer as to how to counter their tactics. This is obvious and evident by the fact that all we did was pass the ball from side to side creating nothing. We did not learn from the semi and it cost us. This is why we lost, not because of any pathetic excuseđ mcinnes gets credit for thatđ doesn't mean he should be our managerđ.
08 Dec 2018 22:25:40
Aberdeen are rotten, there league position reflects that it just so happened that we have been terrible in the last 2 against them. The 1st game of the season we were the better team even with 10 men and then lost a last minute goal. We ain't that great either, the expectations of the club and support forces results from our players, we are very inconsistent and often the nerves get the better of the players. I feel we have made progress but results have not been good enough Livingston, Motherwell, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen and against THEM, Spartak twice. For me that is as good as this team is, we will get a lot of good results but we will also have a number of poor results that is just the reality I am afraid. Although it pains me to say we will not win the old firm game, I would love it if we did but we simply aren't good enough when they step it up against us.
08 Dec 2018 22:41:21
Bluebilly, i've already answered that in my post mate, we were poor!
08 Dec 2018 23:01:40
Supercooper
If McInnes is that bad then how come his team has managed to beat us twice? How did he get his rubbish team to get to more cup finals than any of our recent managers?
09 Dec 2018 07:55:07
Bindo read the above post of mine mate.
08 Dec 2018 12:18:58
Has anyone any knowledge on this guy Stevie G is after ( Jayden Brown ) from Tottenham? L B I read.
08 Dec 2018 13:09:50
Just asked the same question his contract runs out in summer we would hve to pay small fee like we did for rossiter.
08 Dec 2018 12:13:51
Get shankland on the books. He will score goal's no problem. He is super fit.
08 Dec 2018 20:33:09
If young Shanky is half as good as his auld granda he will be a superstar. I had the privilege of playing in the same team as John, and he was a player and an out and out bluenose.
08 Dec 2018 11:58:28
Ed I'm interested what others believe to be our best CB pairing. Any successful team has a solid spine. I'm not a fan of rotating CB's.
Goldson is our best CB but who should play alongside him? Options:
Katic
Worral
McCauley
McCrorie
A N Other
Go to a back 3.

Rangers CB pairing

I don't know how much English Morleos can speak but I bet he did not speak Finnish or Russian and doesn't seem to have had problems in Finland.
Any footballer anywhere in the world knows the basic rules f football eg don't lift your hands and don't cheek up to the ref -no matter how bad he is.
08 Dec 2018 22:32:06
Yeah agreed deeb, I would say a punch on the nose or a swift kick to the sack are fairly universal, it doesn't take a genius but Morelos ain't no Einstein.
08 Dec 2018 09:25:05
Could I ask the posters opinion on how they think McCauley is fitting into the team?
08 Dec 2018 09:31:16
Fine. Brings a bit leadership. Will improve if he continues to play.
08 Dec 2018 08:49:14
Coulibaly needs dropped tomorrow itâs no coincidence a 2nd rate french team weâre prepared to let him leave on loan, apart from a few matches in early season he has been atrocious I canât see what he brings to the team. If Rossiter is fit enough for the bench he has to start tomorrow at least he has that bit of quality that was severely missing on wed night.
08 Dec 2018 09:28:31
I would start Rossiter if fit. But we have to ask what happened to coulibaly, he was a beast at the start then injury and nothing.
08 Dec 2018 09:29:48
Agree mate right of the boil his passing is horrendous simple passes at that rossiter all day long for me.
08 Dec 2018 09:34:19
Rossiter hasnât had a run of games long enough to suggest he has any quality. Decent at best. Iâd play McCrorie in front of the defence and Jack and Arfield higher up the pitch.
08 Dec 2018 11:31:24
I'd like to see Rossiter, Jack and Arfield in the midfield tomorrow. Is Morelos banned, in which case does that mean Lafferty will start? We seriously need a back-up striker. Perhaps Grezda can start through the middle?
08 Dec 2018 21:28:23
Doiger Arfield and Morelos banned.
08 Dec 2018 21:40:40
Big change to when we were all singing and dancing to his name when he started with us. Oh how the mighty have fallen eh.
