Can't believe the comments abt tav and Wallace the way we play with both full backs bombing on we are left short at the back and will concede goals granted there not the best defenders in the world but both have been outstanding and am torn between both for player of the year but think tav shades it imo?

No one is arguing about Tavenier going forward however he is really poor defensively and this will be exploited next season. He won't find it as easy bombing forward next season and he will come up against better players. Say what u like about that lot but they do have done very quick wingers.

If we had a top quality defensive midfield player, (and it is clear that Warburton has been targeting such a player) , then we would not be losing the goals that we lose.

Many of the goals would be stopped long before the ball gets into our penalty box.

Both Tavernier and Wallace will cause considerable threat to SPL defences next season.

biffo you said the full backs bombing forward teams in the premier taking advantage. disagree with that because it hasn't been the case when we played premier opposition. they learnt their lesson from the league cup and i think you'll find the stats back me up. we have spent little money to put this team together watching nice football 6 points from winning the title. to go and pull the class of player some are talking about season ticket would have to go up to that of either chelsea or arsenal. we had a team of spl class players last year and we all know how that ended. let our manager do his job from the very first interview he's outlined what he wanted to achieve and he promised nothing. judge him at the end of season. think a lot of the comments on here are from people playing team manager on the ps4 ridiculous.

We haven't played the top teams in the premier league though it's one thing playing Dundee and Kilmarnock but another playing Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts. I'm sure you and all Rangers fans won't be measuring ourselves against the Dundee's and Kilmarnock's next season but the other 3 I mentioned.

When you play with attacking full back and a cdm when the full backs get forward as much as ours the cdm should be in the hole between the centre backs and the full backs have to get back as fast as they get forward I think that we get forward more than we have to get back this will change next year I do think that we have grown complacent with the standard of opposition we have faced plus tav and Wallace have been outstanding getting forward that is why there has been no need to change them at the beginning of the season if someone said our full backs would score so many goals you would take it let's face it this is the best football we have played since wee dick but unlike then we haven't spent millions and the gaffer brought in guys we had never heard of the man knows what he is doing he will address it when we step up to me he is one of the best.

Tom42, if we had 2 better cb's we wouldn't be losing the goals that we have.

Tav and Wallace have been two of our best players all season. No chance should either be replaced.
We need a good Defensive Midfielder as well as at least 1 experienced Center Half.

Maybe would make sense to look for a Full Back a cover for either Wallace or Tav, Ideally someone comfortable playing on either side, similarly to what Whittaker did when at rangers.

No but Hibs beat both Aberdeen and Hearts in the cups. Would you say Hibs were a better side than us? The top flight sides, including Celtic, are very beatable despite people on this site talking them up as if they are some holy grail to be striven for.

Even the manager has said we need 5-6 signings of real quality to challenge next season. Don't really understand the fans who think the current team is good enough for the next challenge.

I'm quite concerned about upcoming old firm game. The current Celtic team is beatable as many posters have pointed out and if we play a great game we have a shout. However if they play a great game they could knock four or five past our woeful defence.

I think the OF game could go either way. You can't turn form on and off like a tap. We've been playing well and Celtic haven't. Celtic tend not to do well against sides who have a go at them, (Molde, Legia, Aberdeen) and I think they have the proverbial' glass jaw' defensively. That said to lose 6 goals in 2 games against Falkirk and QOS is not good either. Could be a high scoring game. Let's hope we score one more than them!

Hibs also lost to Dumbarton twice, Raith Rovers and QoS so by your reckoning they must be better than Aberdeen and Hearts.

Fair point Biffo. The wheels have well and truly come off their bogey. To be fair they were on a good run earlier in the season during which they beat us, Aberdeen and latterly Hearts. It's been that kind of season. One thing I am confident of is that, especially with 4/ 5 new signings as is being reported, we will be challenging for the title next season.

St Johnstone currently sit 4th after 31 games and 43 points now as a Rangers fan i expect that we will pick up far more than this i can see us fighting for 2nd place next season with Aberdeen Hearts and dare i say it Hibernian once they are up the important thing to next seasons campaign is to start positively and build on those results ANYTHING UNDER 3RD PLACE NEXT SEASON WILL BE SEEN AS FAILURE.

You are correct Luigi,
Some people don't understand the difference in quality, sellk will target both fb, and you can be sure they will have the city boy Roberts getting in behind them, with commons pulling the strings, boron bullying all around him and griff in the box, even boyata will be a danger at set pieces,
I can sense the likes of seeker coming on declaring how good we are and how bad they are, I hope he, s right, , but I'm very concerned the game could be over by h/ t, I pray warbs has a plan
Tommy.
