I posted last night, but it must have got lost in the time warp of venom and never made the cut.
Dessers, one of the worst Rangers strikers I've seen.
Clement, I've changed my stance from giving him the season to making the change now as his project clearly isn't working.
Maybe stable hands and somebody that knows our game, McInnes, if he's available for the foreseeable and what a huge job it will be.

CO2

1.) 31 Oct 2024 08:58:43
I agree to an extent but "knows our game" is irrelevant. Dons new manager is fine example.

The whole club needs a shake.

Clement has no style, no real tactics and no heart to get the job done. Clement didn't like Cantwell who was probably our best player and most creative so we got rid. PC didn't like Raskin who from the last two games has been our best midfielder. I like Barron and he will improve and some games has been our best player but he's not an attacking midfielder so not going to score us goals or create much.

Clement brings on Igmane and Hagi with less than 10mins left. Dessers gets 82mins!

Everyone at the club is paid far too much for what they do. Hence the £17m lol.

Surely we must accept that the league is gone and therefore start playing young lads more and more. Tav and Dessers can sit out rest of the season. I'd rather lose without them, than lose with them and they two always being at fault.


2.) 31 Oct 2024 09:07:55
I wonder if all who defended him at the start of the season still have the same views. He can't control it, he can't hold it in, he can't pass and he can't shoot 1st time. Awful awful striker. 85% of his game is complaining to the ref.


3.) 31 Oct 2024 09:15:21
i really don't believe mcinnes is the answer. he rejected us before anyway and where is his european experience either.


4.) 31 Oct 2024 09:41:58
I don't think many defended him, Paul.
We all know his limitations.
The issue is he is all we have due to injuries to others and others being inexperienced.
It's no coincidence that the year we won 55 we had Morelos, Defoe and Roofe chipping in with goals.
Every other season we have relied on one fit striker.


5.) 31 Oct 2024 10:23:52
Dessers performances are like a GK who's been thrown up front for the last few minutes, or your mate who u only let play up front because it's his birthday or its his stag do. Utterly clueless.

I have to say, fantastic performance and result last night!
I thought all the players put in a good shift with some very good performances.
Every single Rangers player on that pitch made an error that could have cost us the points over the 90 minutes, yet some on here consistently obsess over the odd error from Tav.
Last night was the classic example of this with all the glaring chances missed by individuals to finish off Malmo and the Jack Butland short pass out that could have cost us a goal.
Any how, tin hat on and that's my rant for the day.
Despite this a fantastic shift and performance from all and more importantly a fantastic result, onwards and upwards.

CO2

1.) 27 Sep 2024 09:24:57
I have got to admit, I feel Butland gets off scot free from many on here, even though his performances have been very sketchy. If Tav or Dessers makes a mistake they get rinsed, whereas, if it's Butland, then there's not much said about it.

I still think Tav is way past it now, and receding at a rate of knotts, from where he was last season and beyond, and that won't change.


2.) 27 Sep 2024 09:44:04
CO2,nonsense, so all our players made mistakes last night, Tavernier has made MASSIVE mistakes in his last three games, good teams punish his mistakes but Tavernier had one of his better games last night.


3.) 27 Sep 2024 10:12:33
Tavernier is in the natural regression stage. He is making more mistakes than any other player each game we play. We should have moved him on in order to progress as a team however we didn't and we will continue to see his mistakes when he plays. After last nights game I was impressed with young Kasanwirjo. He is a natural RB and I see him taking over from Tav very soon ??.


4.) 27 Sep 2024 10:25:18
I am and always have been a massive Tav fan but even I can see a decline. It was noticeable that even though we have a new player playing out of position on the other side all of the attacks from Malmo came down our right. I'm just no sure Tav has the legs to do what we ask of our fullbacks, it is sad to see from someone who I consider a club legend.


5.) 27 Sep 2024 11:05:18
there is no doubt he is regressing, its natural and he should have moved on i agree with all that. does he deserves the bashing he gets, no he doesnt. what happened to the "if he wears a rangers top he will always get my support".


6.) 27 Sep 2024 11:25:42
Why was McCoist so critical of Dessers last night. I am old enough to remember misses and mistakes he made when playing.


7.) 27 Sep 2024 11:33:29
Tav needs a break. Missed most of preseason. But with sterling seemingly struggling with fitness and Jefte suspended last night there was no option. I expect Nara to get a start soon.


8.) 27 Sep 2024 12:48:41
We should not be singling out any players negatively after the result last night. Some people on here would have been happy with a draw.
We beat them on home sole and could easily have been 0-5.
Great performance around and EVERY player did their job. Well done rangers, onwards and upwards!


9.) 27 Sep 2024 13:08:58
I honestly think the hatred of Tav has gone beyond the sense of reason for a lot of our fans and it's pretty clear it's beyond any hope of redemption.

Shame really, as although he's far from his best - he still offers a lot.


10.) 27 Sep 2024 13:34:12
I just don't think he brings what he used to for the team. His attacking output is definitely going down naturally and he's not suited to being more of a defender. At some point i expect it to change. Compare the energy jefte has on the other side up and down it sort of reminds you what the role should be. Tavs obviously been told to reign it in a bit but we are now a bigger threat on the left than the right (cerny jury out also) .


11.) 27 Sep 2024 13:49:24
My star,
Firstly, I have to say I totally agree with a lot you say on here and you’re insights on the rumours page are a good read.
I thought we were excellent last night but without really poor finishing in front of goal, the match should have been over at half time.
On Tav, I agree that time’s starting to catch up with him and let’s be honest, he was always better on the front foot than defensively.
What I noticed last night is that the Dutch right back playing on the left will push Tav for the position as I’m not sure Sterling will be a regular in that position.
What I’m saying is that I will choose to appreciate Tav for the short time he is still playing for us rather than obsessing about his mistakes while choosing to ignore others mistakes in order to prove a point.


12.) 27 Sep 2024 13:53:37
Sxmccr tbh think he called it as it was critical when he missed and praised him when he did well.


13.) 27 Sep 2024 13:56:29
Tav won the most duels and had the most interceptions out both teams last night.


14.) 27 Sep 2024 14:02:42
CO2,yes we were excellent last night mate, but we can all see Tavernier isn't the player he was a couple of seasons ago, we will improve more as a team but Tavernier will be took out the side very soon.


15.) 27 Sep 2024 16:22:33
Also Europa put tav in team of the week and gave him a 7.1 out of 10 performance he done decent so did dessers and butland in my opinion.


16.) 27 Sep 2024 16:31:15
See Raskins stats re Tav last night. yes they maybe did target his side but they try to get overloads on one side with their style of football but our fans read into it as they see he is the weak side. if they were targeting the weak side then they would have initially have targeted Kasanwirjo making his debut, i. e. the right footed left back. Is Tav getting poorer attacking wise or is Jefte now being encouraged to attack so Tav sits back more, like Barasic did in previous seasons.
Yes Tav is getting older and may not be as great as he was but the hyperbole around this is ridiculous in that every Tav mistake is massive and will lead to a goal against better teams, but no-one else's does. It is all based around his performances against Maeda and getting beaten by Celtic. PC sees him as the answer and TBH no-one else's opinion here matters much.


17.) 27 Sep 2024 17:59:29
Angus I don't think it's just his performances v maeda, he's got a huge mistake in him every time he steps over the line and for our highest earner and captain it isn't good enough. I've yet to see any team attack so much down the one side as against malmo, you can spin your comment around and say yeah kasanwijro was playing in his first game for us, so why was tavs side attacked every time? Because other teams are seeing exactly what most of us fans see, it's so obvious mate.


18.) 27 Sep 2024 19:22:07
Bb4 correctamundo.


19.) 27 Sep 2024 19:33:52
because they play a relational form of football trying to build numbers on the one side so they can then switch the ball to pick on the weakest full back. it leaves a 1-2-1 which they can exploit. It didn't work her anyway. looked it up to see if there was another reason why they might do it and found that.

Tavs also has the largest percentage of key passes in the league last season which might mean he has some which go astray as it is more risk to play that type of pass than a side to side one. yes he has made 2 passbooks which were short in last 2 games but how many goals resulted from them.

however I can see he will never win as there is a perhaps growing agenda on the way he plays. we advent won anything, . he has been here all that time so therefore it is his fault. prefer to do my own thinking though rather than follow the norm.

Obviously a little disappointing but we all know Tynecastle is one of the hardest away venues.
Points could have gone either way today, at the end of the season when all points get added, today's point could be crucial.
Very impressed with Barron and by the way Chris Boyd doesn't half talk a lot of pish.

1.) 03 Aug 2024 15:14:32
Little disappointing? Are you for real? We are a shambles!


2.) 03 Aug 2024 15:19:29
First game away at Tynecastle 3 points would have been a great start. Getting a point not the end of the world, improvement required. Was impressed with Conner Barron, think he could develop into a real good un.

Cortes injured again does not bode well.


3.) 03 Aug 2024 15:29:14

You’re right Penny it was worse.


6.) 03 Aug 2024 15:40:13
That was pathetic today, last seasons players despite signing 7 or 8 new players. To many accepting mediocracy already Tav is certainly done and showed no interest today.


7.) 03 Aug 2024 15:51:02
Stromtrooper1

Not saying it was great today mate but a shambles to me would be getting pumped 2 or 3 nil.


8.) 03 Aug 2024 16:18:40
It was a shambles today regardless of the score.


9.) 03 Aug 2024 16:43:59
Firstly yes I am for real.
It’s clear we’re in the process of a re build while trying to get the wage bill down in order to be more sustainable financially in the future.
It’s clearly a longer term plan and will take time but in doing so try our best to wrestle the title back from Celtic.
A tough ask but not impossible.
It’s 1 game into the new season and not time to Panic, but the way some have turned on our players I really find quite astonishing.


10.) 03 Aug 2024 17:06:18
Nah not getting the thinking behind that. A shambles is getting pumped by 2 or 3 with no chances and no possession. A 0-0 each draw at tyncastle. Not great but not a shambles. 63% possession.


11.) 03 Aug 2024 18:41:29
If it wasn't a shambles windy. What is your take on the performance.

A statement John made on another post has really got me thinking.
I attended The Greatest Ranger Dinner on Sunday 21st March 1999 at The Thistle Hotel Glasgow.
All the players present at the time and most of the past players attended.
They picked the Greatest ever team 1 to 11 and Greatest ever Ranger which of course was John Greg.
How would Tav fair in the Right back position.
Obviously Sandy Jardine, Gary Steven's,
David Robertson and Allan Hutton all superb right backs but let's be positive about Tav as he looks like leaving our wonderful club.
Where does he come in the list and how would he have fared if he had played in the great teams of the 90s.
I agree that now is a good time for Tav to move on but let's think on his contributions to our club over his time with us.

CO2

1.) 19 Jul 2024 21:25:51
He wouldn’t have got near our team back in the day.


2.) 19 Jul 2024 21:27:35
He'd be below all the above except Hutton, Robertson was a left back as well but tav if he goes ty for all the memories but rangers need move on and so does tav.


3.) 19 Jul 2024 21:28:02
Sorry by can't remember Robertson playing at right back even once.


4.) 19 Jul 2024 21:28:46
Davie robertson was a left back CO2?The best right back imo in a rangers jersey was gary stevens hands down for me ???.


5.) 19 Jul 2024 22:07:18
Alec cleland is in there for me anaw way porrini but Hutton was one ae the best right backs in the world for me for a couple seasons.


6.) 19 Jul 2024 22:17:43
Do we think most top ten right and left backs in the history of football are noted for their defeding or attacking. can't remember a sinlge tackle roberot carlos made but I do rememeber his goal.


7.) 19 Jul 2024 22:29:45
Wit lyk maldini Neville or walker the renowned goal scorers?


8.) 19 Jul 2024 22:40:24
Stand corrected, David Robertson left back.


9.) 19 Jul 2024 22:56:47
Agreed coops without a shadow of a doubt best right back I have seen.


10.) 19 Jul 2024 23:53:28
Short memories on here, Tavs record is tremendous ok getting on a bit and slowing down now but why are we ignoring his record over the years he slogged to get us back to where we belong and scored very Important goals. I do think he should go now as not the player he was but get a grip the guy has been a phenomenal player for us and I wish him all the best for the futere.


11.) 20 Jul 2024 00:11:07
Gary Stevens was a work of Art! World Class!


12.) 20 Jul 2024 01:43:59
Gary Stevens could of played for any team in the world, the original modern fullback.


13.) 20 Jul 2024 06:44:36

Scot Nisbet got near our team so I think Tav would have also,
Playing alongside defenders like Richard Gough, I think you see a different Tav.


14.) 20 Jul 2024 07:13:43
Co2 the problem is a good rangers team wouldn’t feature tavernier so I don’t think if they were around playing at the same time you’d see tavernier and Gough in the same team for example.


15.) 20 Jul 2024 07:14:57
Agree with all posts about Gary Stevens, but for me it would be Sandy in Royal Blue.

Think it was FC Bruges, Fork. Were we not playing with 10 men after big Hateley got sent off, controversially I think?


19.) 20 Jul 2024 10:27:09
Almost got to champ league final without McCoist an Hately playing together much in group stage if I remember right, Ian Ferguson, Stuart McCall centre mid a big Shirley playing out his skin at back, if ever the word no surrender was ever known for our team it was that year.


20.) 20 Jul 2024 10:41:50
Gary Steven’s was a great player in a really successful period for us, easy to look back fondly on those days. Tavernier has played in a really unsuccessful period for us and we are all sick to the back teeth with it so this clouds our judgement. Its time for him to go because sentiment should play no part in football decisions his best days are now behind him and this will be our only chance to get a few quid for him so of course we take it. As an attacking right back signed for 250k one of the best buys ever and I think peoples opinions will Change over time . I wish him well wherever he goes.


21.) 20 Jul 2024 12:38:30

Angus,
You’re 100% correct that Ryan Kent honoured his contract before leaving after his contract expired.
It was a calculated decision by the club and the first team Manager’s to keep rather than move him on years prior to his contract running down.

Bottom line,
King would have been better picking up the phone and speaking to in his words “The current incumbent’s” about what he can do to help in the current situation rather than running to the press.
I’m not saying King can’t help but IMO we could do with fresh leadership.

Storm, I’m well aware of the age that the players you mentioned are, I’ll not insult you by mentioning the list of young players as I’m sure you know.
As I say, I’m yet to be convinced with PC but prefer to give him time for the stability of the 1st team rather than more disruption.
Hopefully for all our sake, PC becomes a success.

Also he’s assembling a squad with some younger players that need time to settle into life at Rangers, some of them working hard to learn the language.
I’m still to be convinced with PC tactically, but I feel it would be better to give him time to see how he develops the team rather than another change which would bring even more disruption.

I’ve not seen the press conference yet, will do later.
Others won’t want Kent back because of the way he left our club.
He offers something we don’t currently have and improves the squad so if he’s in our budget, that’s all that matters.
