Wonderful result for the Teddy Bears today! Well done pedro and the staff. Surprised about JJ getting no 3 job esp wi a lot of bears including masel thinking Rae or ferguson would get it. JJ will do us fine. Pedro putting his own stamp on it. Massive pressure on us to win today as they wuda happily took a draw. Onwards and upwards Bears! FIRB.

09 Apr 2017 22:36:17
Pedro has already achieved something Warburton couldn't in beating a top 4 team away from home today. Hopefully its a sign of things to come. Brilliant.

09 Apr 2017 23:15:30
Can understand Caixinha having reservations over Miller due to his age BUT he merits a place as a squad player! If we get rid of Waghorn and jurys still out with Dodoo as he hasn't really been given a chance. Still need to bring in another finisher tho
had high hopes for Garner still do BUT we will need a cull that could include him

10 Apr 2017 11:43:30
Fed up with this jurys still out. What more does the lad dodoo need to do. He's basically a goal a game striker.

10 Apr 2017 20:29:02
If Miller re-signs he won't be a squad player. That's what everybody thought this season, and next season he'll still be a pick, no matter what club he's at. Keep Kenny.

10 Apr 2017 21:14:07
He's scored 4 in 14 how is that a goal a game? He came on against celtic and actually ran away from the ball. 1 goal doesn't make him a superstar.

10 Apr 2017 21:18:10
i hoped garner would turn into a good player but his antics bring same to our club faining a headbut i hated when lafferty did it and hate it just as much now all garner does is push people and dive head isn't in the right place to score goals which is where a strikers head should be but all he seems to think about is throwing himself about i say get shot of him

10 Apr 2017 21:59:18
He has still only got 7 goals this year, not good enough.

09 Apr 2017 19:10:16
We beat the sheep 3-0 and there's still negativity I. e mangers no good, and players aren't good enough!
Being from Aberdeen and being named greig mickinnon Baxter . I've had my share of stick fae the sheep, me myself applaud the players and manager .
Judge the manager next year if he gets the funds that's needed .
for me man of the match was big Wes and of course superman kenny miller .

09 Apr 2017 19:30:03
No matter the result today the league table tells you that a lot of the players aren't good enough. If you think they are then sadly your delusional

09 Apr 2017 20:52:51
Bengy25, the result today tells you that some of the players are good enough!

You are clearly delusional if you cannot pick out any positives in a 3-0 win.

09 Apr 2017 21:50:12
Br65. We won today and I'm glad however let's be honest we are far from being good enough . You'd keep 3 players tops and sell the rest if we could. We are that average . sad but true.

10 Apr 2017 07:49:53
Djab

Your wasting your time trying to reason with BR65 he clearly thinks everything is fine after 1 result and obviously is unaware that being 35 points behind Celtic tells you that there is something far wrong with our team

10 Apr 2017 08:19:13
I think your all great.

10 Apr 2017 08:41:56
there is honestly no point at all comparing ourselves with Celtic based upon points difference. Celtic are outstanding this year, Rodgers has them playing the way they should be. Their financial power dwarves our own, We should be Second, but we can blame Warburton for that.

10 Apr 2017 10:05:21
Onlyshowaround

We shouldn't be 35 points behind them and it's clear a lot of the players aren't good enough. Sorry but if you genuinely think Rangers aren't measured against Celtic then your being very naive. Rightly or wrongly that's the way it is here and it willl only intensivfy the closer they get to 10 in a row. However if your happy with 4 second place finishes for the next 4 years that's up to you

10 Apr 2017 11:11:26
Correct Bengy we Shouldn't be 35 points behind them. We should be a lot closer to them with the budget we have, again blame the breadman. However there isn't much point comparing ourselves with Celtic right now, we should be comparing ourselves with Aberdeen as they are the team we should be beating comfortably to 2nd.

11 Apr 2017 10:37:43
No disrespect to Aberdeen but our target has to be to overcome Celtic! At the end of the day being in Celtic's shadow is not acceptable if you are a Rangers supporter and the thought of that lot winning 10 in a row fills me with dread! We quite simply need to get back to where we belong and that is at the top of the league!

09 Apr 2017 16:59:12
personal opinion - nothing more.

Pedro will be gone by Xmas. He is nothing more than a hot air balloon, who still thinks he is in a bullring.
He has already started the sensation seeking tactics befitting to a matador and NOT a football club manager.

My BIG concern over him is that our board picked him, above managers who are well known and have good track records. I would love to be wrong.

09 Apr 2017 17:03:57
I'd love to know what managers you are talking about! I didn't see any EPL Managers interviewed, or any top Bundesliga orItalian managers, who would you have preferred? McCoist or Barry Ferguson. Maybe you are fishing or maybe just talking sh! t

09 Apr 2017 17:06:42
@weebill - can you confirm the manager's with the proven track records as I can't remember any stand outs?

09 Apr 2017 18:22:21
Good to see that positive mental attitude, wee bill. Your unwavering support is a great beacon to your fellow supporters, keep it up

09 Apr 2017 20:00:42
This is exactly the type of manager we need who is not afraid to make changes and once he brings his own players who buy into his training methods we will see a much better rangers side than what warburton assembled as long as board back him with funds all players linked so far are free agents again.

10 Apr 2017 00:55:33
Maybe a matador attitude is what's required at times as opposed to the bull or is it bile you just produced wee bill

09 Apr 2017 15:19:13
Foderingham and Wilson were particularly good IMO today. What a difference it makes to our entire defence when there's no emphasis on playing the ball out from the back. Foderingham would go long all day today and from there our defence has the play in front and for the first time in a long time I felt we were more than capable of keeping a clean sheet. Bates was shaky at times but at other times his positioning was really good, winning important headers and making one particular block from a cut back in the second half. Beerman looks good on the ball and pacey, could even see him moving up the park when Wallace is fit. Toral played well in the sitting midfield role, offers much more than Halliday ever will. Millers finish was tremendous for his first and the second was well finished after a good bit of pressing by him and Dodoo. Really good goal for Dodoo too, hope the lad gets a run in the team to see what he's got to offer. The scoreline flattered us but nevertheless what a result, another clean sheet and lots of positives.

One negative for me is Garner. He's more hassle than he's worth. Sure we all love a centre forward who likes a physical battle but his decision making is atrocious and his behaviour is bordering on Saturday morning amateur league stuff. Flying into tackles like against Kilmarnock midweek and his carry on with Ryan Jack today was embarrassing.

09 Apr 2017 17:11:23
J1985

Thought Waghorn was atrocious too today. Missed another 2 sitters and contributed nothing waste of a jersey

09 Apr 2017 17:42:07
I don't think anyone is atrocious. its just pure inconsistency!
it works when we do the simple things on the pitch and some of the players need to start believing that they are better than they are playing recently

09 Apr 2017 19:31:56
Blueman888

Do you think Waghorn is the answer? Do you think he is good enough?

09 Apr 2017 19:11:49
Good post j1985!, I've said for months on here that kenny miller is a total thoroughbred and great role model professional, who without doubt, deserves another 1 year deal with rangers, for next season! He's also great at captain as he's very vocal and leads by example! He's a big game player of that there's no doubt! He scores in big, important games!

A wee message to CEE who continually slates kenny miller on here! What the hell are you watching mate? He'll be rangers player of the year this season, rightly so and he certainly got my vote! I also think wes foderingham and clint hill have also acquitted themselves very well for us this season! Big wes was once again superb for us against the sheep today, he's a superb shot stopper and deserves a lot more praise than he receives! Maybe its time to give joe dodoo a run in the team beside the evergreen (pardon the word) kenny miller!

09 Apr 2017 19:12:50
Got to agree with garner, feared a red was coming after that shocking dive. Couldn't hit a barn door! Wilson was a rock today. foddy class

09 Apr 2017 19:18:56
Great result today, a bit of a surprise to be honest, it can only boost confidence. Don't mean to be downbeat but I've posted on hear before regarding Garner. I'm not a fan, his priority is to score goals not pick up yellow cards thus putting pressure on himself and the team. I feel £1.8 million could of been spent more wisely. He and Waghorn should be embarrassed by their displays and should look up to the ageing Kenny Miller. On a positive note Beerman, Bates and Dodoo should be proud.

09 Apr 2017 20:00:58
Gor

Spot on mate both Garner and Waghorn are awful and not what we need. Both contribute next to nothing and Garner is a red card waiting to happen

09 Apr 2017 20:00:43
Dodoo should be given the chance as waghorn and garner are a waste of space. and is it a coincidence that Hyndman was a standout for murty, but bin crap for caixhina.

09 Apr 2017 21:16:11
Bengy25 not saying waggy is the answer or good/ not good enough, the same with garner.
man management with both these guys will sort out the problems and weakness

i don't think personaly these guys fit the system that Caixinha is playing but they can do better

dodoo looks a better fit with miller but he need games, bates beerman, dodoo, windass will thrive with the manager giving them game time

10 Apr 2017 11:27:03
J1985! what a cracking post, that summed the game (and Garner) up perfectly for me!

09 Apr 2017 14:23:24
After the first half performance I would say deserve three goals, based on the heart in mouth defending I'd also say we earned that win! 👏 👏 ☺

Always good to beat that lot.

09 Apr 2017 14:34:48
I'm delighted with the score but 3-0 flattered us.

09 Apr 2017 14:37:10
Think 3 goals flattered . It was a good feisty game . Fod played well to keep yous in it till yous got the goals . Fair play though . More grit, fight and determination shown today to get the result rafbob! Composure in front of goal is needed .

Surely Kenny deserves another season / coaching role after that

09 Apr 2017 14:40:55
we played better than that at the start of the season and lost 2.1.
Goals change games and KM's first changed that game. Bates was nervous but that has to be expected, he was good in the air. Bates is a work in progress. Team attitude was first class.

09 Apr 2017 14:45:45
I think Dodoo derveses a shot in the first team. Either up front instead of Garner or on the left instead of McKay.

09 Apr 2017 14:51:09
Got to say that Wilson is playing his socks off. Being sandwiched between 2 young lads and he is bossing it for me. Very happy with that! Beerman looked good again vs a very serious threat and Bates held up well. dodoo played very well getting himself about and hopefully replaces Garner as he actually scores and passes too! I actually hate watching Garner now, he's pitiful and not rangers class for me. Miller again showing that hard work and endeavor is what's required. Midfield. I just don't know about them in all honesty, they just don't seem to offer much at all. A wee bit more bite but lacking any cutting edge, although I don't know if that is due to having waggie and Garner. They are completely useless

09 Apr 2017 14:56:22
That's a pretty fair statement delbhoy. If Waghorn was on form he would have scored in the first half.

09 Apr 2017 15:07:23
Beerman has filled wallaces boots imo give him game time till the end of the season, can't understand why warbs didn't give dodoo a chance after the thistle game, better class than waggy and garner

09 Apr 2017 15:09:22
Rafbob

Waghorn is useless and needs to be dropped Dodoo did more in 10 mins than he did 80 mins. Continually misses sitters and brings nothing to the team

09 Apr 2017 15:49:29
Rafbob it seems in the final 3rd the team panic under pressure. No one doubts garners commitment! His decision making is another topic . Miller has stepped up to the plate time n time again . At 70 minutes? Your team. may have crumbled / held for a draw before . Yous rode the storm n got a good result . The close season will be crucial mate .

09 Apr 2017 16:50:11
Could've been about 6 to be fair but i'll take 3

09 Apr 2017 16:52:32
Delighted for the guys. A big well done to everybody, especially the young lads who came in and did well. Thought Wes, Danny and wee Holty were outstanding. Surely Joe Dodoo deserves a run after the way he finished. So unlucky not to get 2. And what a strike from Kenny Miller! Brilliant result.
