So I deadheaded in the garden. Walked the dog and strangled my guitar. So far happy day. I checked Celtic score, hoping to Millie making it difficult. But no. Same old. 3-0 and their new striker Hogh with 3. I despair I really do.
We need a result today or the panic and fear will set in. c'mon the Rangers!

That was money well spent by them on Hogh. He's a good player. I'd have him before any of our striking options (unpopular) opinion I know but I've always been a straight shooter and looked at Rangers without the blue tinted on.
09 Aug 2026 14:54:08
We need to get our defence sorted or otherwise he'll embarrass us in the 1st of game.
09 Aug 2026 15:12:34
We don't create much, so he wouldn't score a lot. His 3 goals today all in from close range. We don't create anything like that.
09 Aug 2026 15:41:01
💯 Disagree! He's a much better "footballer" than all our 4 strikers. Better players make teams better.
09 Aug 2026 18:22:18
I said before they signed him, he'd be my replacement for Chermiti.
He's a class act.
He'll score 30 in the league, never mind Europe and cups.
He's a top striker, top 5 league bound next summer.

To the people that continually called for McCann to be part of our backroom staff, maybe that first half will give you an idea of why he isn't. He's basically threw 3 points away with his kamikaze football, unbelievable how open they are. He talks a right good game, but so do many that haven't got a clue.
09 Aug 2026 14:35:52
Their defence is absolutely shocking.
09 Aug 2026 14:36:34
I bet Norwegian boy 1st goal and Celtic to win. It's easy money.
09 Aug 2026 18:11:05
He plays attacking football, mate, and had Killie playing well.
09 Aug 2026 13:22:49
Just had a look at the line ups at Rugby Park. Sadly they have quite a solid, settled look. It will be some going if Killie can get anything out of the game, especially now that they've given up their plastic pitch advantage
09 Aug 2026 13:41:20
Good to see Yfeko back in the Scottish game and starting for Killie.
09 Aug 2026 14:08:05
That's working out well.
09 Aug 2026 14:18:05
Going toe to toe with Celtic playing open football without their plastic pitch was always going to end in disaster. 3 dollys for Hogh. Killie be in serious trouble this season. Conceded 4 to St Johnstone last week.
09 Aug 2026 17:05:49
McCann will be sacked this season.
09 Aug 2026 18:06:16
Like to add to this post so will delboy, he has not got a clue.
08 Aug 2026 15:29:03
Will be interesting to see how Kevin Ciubotaru gets on at Dundee United this season.
Very talented player and someone I think will suit our league.
08 Aug 2026 19:52:58
Someone you would have had at Rangers EHL?
08 Aug 2026 20:07:55
He was at Ibrox for a while as a youngster, Gazza, has gone on to be capped by Romania.
He's still young and definitely worth keeping an eye on.
08 Aug 2026 23:20:47
Is he a right back, if I remember correctly?
09 Aug 2026 08:25:08
Close Stevie, left back.
09 Aug 2026 12:15:49
Ahh, no worries, bro, don't recall ever seeing him play, and I did used to watch some youth games, especially when we were in the Lowland League. Don't know if he was there at that time.
Good luck to him I say.
06 Aug 2026 22:08:51
McInnes get your coat, you are obviously out of your depth.
07 Aug 2026 01:25:22
Should have said that too, Smith, Souness and Advocate, after a few games as well. Don't get too downbeat over draws or defeats, and don't get carried away with wins. Give the man, like some of the players, time, or at least ten mins into Hibs game on Sunday.
07 Aug 2026 10:02:03
Insane.
07 Aug 2026 10:51:26
This is the problem Rangers have, judging managers or players are a couple of games, it's actually bonkers, says more about them.
07 Aug 2026 12:04:18
Weather still too warm to wear a coat.
07 Aug 2026 11:16:34
Someone on the Rodney Trotter fags.
07 Aug 2026 12:52:03
2 games, feck me, I thought I was harsh, but we do need vast improvements all over the pitch and from the manager, our recruitment has been really disappointing to say the least, can see things getting toxic if we fail to beat Hibs.
07 Aug 2026 16:27:43
You first, Wullie 1.
07 Aug 2026 18:29:15
Behave, William1.
07 Aug 2026 21:43:17
Remember Advocaat lost his first game to Shelbourne, and he has world class internationals in his 25 squad.
Turned out not bad for him.
07 Aug 2026 22:02:32
Whilst I don't agree with him, is his view just not a slightly more unhinged version of what has been the main thrust on here since last Friday. Before you shoot me down already, manager accused of picking wrong players, making wrong subs and using wrong tactics. Oh, and my favourite, as always, that he is having poor press conferences, scarily familiar from the fans for every manager we have had since coming back up; just it has only taken 2 games this time.
And after those 2 games with a squad most agree isn't ready and not filled with talent.
I'll have a bit more patience as always and see how we can improve with a few good additions and some more time. If we do get rid of him then I will equally support the new manager and the whole new squad for next season. 😉
07 Aug 2026 22:28:07
But, Angus, will you celebrate winning nothing? Judging players and management after a couple of games is the reason we go trophiesless. It's absolute bonkers.
07 Aug 2026 22:55:53
Star, I know you see things differently as well so not aimed at you.
I understand the deep frustration here from fans. I am not being delusional or settling for second best by demanding a structural change, especially since the current approach has yielded so little success for so long.
It is statistically impossible for multiple different recruitment teams to consistently sign good players who suddenly turn poor the moment they arrive here. The real issue is that we never give players or managers enough time to settle before tearing everything down.
So, if we continue to replace 13 or 14 players every single season because a new manager wants his own squad, no recruitment team will ever succeed on our budget. If we want to afford three or four high-quality players at six million pounds or more each, we must have patience with the current squad to build that financial and tactical foundation.
Celtic succeeds precisely because they maintain a stable core of players.
While no one wants to go empty-handed this season, a transition period that establishes seven or eight reliable starters for next year is worth the wait possibly, especially given the lack of silverware over the last fifteen years.
It is no coincidence that our only recent trophy came under Steven Gerrard, who was given three full seasons to build his squad. The board only showed that patience because the empty stadiums during the pandemic shielded them from pandering to fan pressure.
Things have been difficult for the last couple of seasons, but turning on the team after just two games is a new low for our fan base. Yes, it is bad but it will get a whole lot worse if we down change things and that change needed is patience initially.
08 Aug 2026 11:20:39
I seem to remember when AC and 49ers came in was said that would have a style of play and coaches would fit that system, so not having to replace so many players. That seems to have lasted one season, and we are now looking at replacing a big percentage of squad yet again.
08 Aug 2026 14:57:36
Went 3 nil down to Shelbourne and came back to win 5-3, but I know where you're coming from, Stevie. 👍
08 Aug 2026 16:14:28
Seeker, was that the case?
I thought we lost away from home and then won 2nd leg.
Goes to show u what the memory can do, mate, eh. 😂
08 Aug 2026 17:51:18
Aye, Stevie, but we had Gabby Amato coming on as sub and running riot, pal. Changed days. 😒
08 Aug 2026 19:08:27
Seeker, Amato was something else, wasn't he? Remember reading McCoist saying if he had pace he'd have been better than R9.
09 Aug 2026 12:55:00
Aye Stevie, but then if he had pace he wouldn't have played for us. His skill level was outstanding.
06 Aug 2026 18:09:05
I pray to God that MON is ok. Yes he is seen as the enemy, but its just football. Some of the posts I have seen on FB, just reverts back to Tommy Burns, Walter Smith, Jock Stein and big Jock, Fernando and the 66.
I have been invited next Thursday to the best day in my life at Ibrox (its my birthday and someone has made it so special) and after reading what I have seen, I don't want to go.
06 Aug 2026 23:03:26
Absolutely Whitehorse, well said. 👍
Hope he gets back to it in good health.
07 Aug 2026 00:33:28
Has he deteriorated?
What's happened?
07 Aug 2026 08:34:30
Horsey, it's a sad indictment on society and parental upbringing when idiots besmirch the name of those that went before, and those that are going through tough times.
Sad n despicable excuse for humans.
07 Aug 2026 08:35:01
Give the manager a chance, he's just in the door; we can't keep changing a manager. 🇬🇧 🙄
No matter the divide, hope Mon is OK.
07 Aug 2026 10:06:13
Agree with all of the above re Mon.
Horse - don't let it detract from your special day.
07 Aug 2026 17:26:58
Why people go near social media platforms like X on these discussions amazes me. Just full of trolls and hate. Don't think you need to pray for someone going in for a minor op either or let idiots ruining your birthday day out. Just ignore it and get on with better things in life.
08 Aug 2026 14:59:16
Not a fan of O'Neill, but your health is much more important than football. Hope he recovers well. 🙏
09 Aug 2026 12:58:49
It really has become a blight on society at times, Coopersdad. Some of the comments left on the social media platforms are beyond belief at times.
