I see that the door is open for cantwell to see the light. Interesting time for the lad because if no offers come his way that the club deem acceptable then he may well be playing the rest of his career at rangers with the B team . great experience for the young lads but not for his career.
1.) 29 Jul 2024 15:47:51
How does having him in b team help anyone
Keep him in first team squad and say earn your move.
2.) 29 Jul 2024 16:19:16
I agree rfc, as you say it doesn't do anybody any good slotting him into the B team.
3.) 29 Jul 2024 16:35:40
Sure is was his first request, they don't have clue and put out old news, has Clement said anything since?
4.) 29 Jul 2024 16:56:00
If he wants to go, there’s no way he’ll be around the first team. You keep all disruptions out the way and keep them training to maintain fitness.
5.) 29 Jul 2024 17:22:17
Clement has already covered this, there's no space for him in the first team if he doesn't want to be here. You can't put on a training session with 30 players. He's in the B team because having him with the first team, knowing he doesn't want to be here, impacts on first team training.
Pretty standard stuff. He's not there as a punishment . He's there for logistics.
6.) 29 Jul 2024 17:30:56
Bang on gdog.
7.) 29 Jul 2024 17:31:37
You don’t have people like cantwell in an about the 1st team when he wants away it’s ludicrous. He could just because bother.
8.) 29 Jul 2024 19:01:44
He may be training with the B team but he`ll not play very often as the B team only play glorified friendlies and don`t include over age players .
9.) 29 Jul 2024 20:11:46
Has anyone even says that cantwell wants to leave? Not sure if if missed it but I’ve not seen one thing confirming this.
29 Apr 2024 19:33:54
Jack Butland, unless an offer comes in that we just can't refuse will be a Rangers Players next year. Considering the circumstances in which he arrived under Beale and the transition to PC and obviously the negative press the team have been getting especially on off days like recently, I feel he will relish being #1 with a fresh start next year and the excitement of playing with new signings of which i feel will be quality . Congrats to our goalie for his awards last night. well deserved.
1.) 29 Apr 2024 20:31:04
I hope your right but with his family still down south it seems as though we were a chance to get him back in shop window.
2.) 30 Apr 2024 20:14:52
Personally I don't believe that Butland's prime reason for joining us was to get back in the 'shop window'. I believe that he primarily wanted guaranteed first team football and the opportunity to win trophies.
I don't believe that money is a major motivator, he will earn well with us.
I do believe however that he came up too Scotland to win trophies, including the league, and play in Europe, (something that he won't have the opportunity to do in England unless he was to sign for one of the top six sides). This is where the problem lies.
We need to see a substantial upgrade in the quality of players we sign and we need to build a squad that is more than capable of winning the league and progressing in the op European Tournament.
The summer will show how ambitious our current Board is. More of what we have seen since we won 55 and Butland will be off, (probably sold), securing Butland and building from the back with a top quality back four, a solid midfield and showing that we mean business and he will be our keeper next season.
07 Feb 2024 18:10:10
Cifuentes offsky on a 1 year loaner with a buyout attached. hefty chunk off the payroll dependant on the agreement of-course. Maybe 50-50.
06 Aug 2023 16:16:53
Fashion away for seemingly 3 million plus add ons. not bad business considering we got him on a free.
1.) 06 Aug 2023 16:30:27
I would have wanted more than that I would have rather kept him to be honest. Ge gets dogs abuse because he missed two sitters and the best strikers in the world miss sitters.
2.) 06 Aug 2023 16:39:26
Not as if we need someone with pace on the left wing is it?
3.) 06 Aug 2023 16:58:18
From a Free to 3 million in 2 short years. we got what he is worth. wright is going for 500k . puts it into perspective for me.
4.) 06 Aug 2023 16:58:25
Storm, he missed far too many sitters, he's not a natural goalscorer.
5.) 06 Aug 2023 17:01:04
And to think our manager has replaced him with Sima.
6.) 06 Aug 2023 17:01:16
Sad to see him go, whilst he was not the most technically gifted, he was more than capable of doing the job needed of him.
Another daft decision IMO.
7.) 06 Aug 2023 17:02:26
He cost us games against Celtic same as selfish fat Alfie did.
8.) 06 Aug 2023 17:13:40
Sakala:-
Pace✅
Goals✅
Assists✅
Free transfer✅
Not technically gifted✅
Sima, Danilo and Dessers:-
Never showed much pace, any goals, any assists and not much technical ability yesterday against Killie as we dropped points but at least we spent money on ‘better’.
It’s a funny old game.
9.) 06 Aug 2023 17:20:39
Mark, sakala isn't a natural goalscorer i agree, but his numbers were good and he offers a lot with his burning pace in the wide areas and that gets the opposition on the back foot and frightens the life out of opposition defenders ? I agree with storm and would have kept him for those obvious reasons and will be a loss to our squad ? I wish fashion jr all the very best as he gave everything for rangers with a smile on his face and wanted to be at rangers ?.
10.) 06 Aug 2023 17:21:43
This some way to talk about rangers record european goalscorer of all time, absolutely shocking get a grip Robotman!
11.) 06 Aug 2023 17:26:26
Let's just take the money and use it to buy a left sided centre back that can defend!
12.) 06 Aug 2023 17:31:54
13 goals and 12 assists for sakala last season it remains to be seen if any of tge replacements can better those numbers.
13.) 06 Aug 2023 17:37:51
Mark where did I say he was a natural goalscorer? his stats were good last season. Let’s see what attacking players beat it this season. People pretty clueless when it comes to players IMO.
14.) 06 Aug 2023 17:37:58
Mark on viewings so far who looks better value sakala or dessers ??.
15.) 06 Aug 2023 17:38:21
Ps mark he isn’t a striker either.
16.) 06 Aug 2023 17:38:24
And sakala was rated at 6 million before joined us.
17.) 06 Aug 2023 17:39:04
walter he is a new poster, makes you wonder when he calls him fat alfie, i can guess where he is from.
18.) 06 Aug 2023 17:39:31
Robot man are you saying him and him alone cost us against Celtic? This proves my 1st post some of our fans are clueless.
19.) 06 Aug 2023 17:45:07
Sakala goal or assist every 95min.
20.) 06 Aug 2023 17:46:55
If we don’t sign 2 wingers and at least 1 centre back we can forget it. Systems guff.
21.) 06 Aug 2023 18:07:38
Storm, where in my post did I say you said he was a natural goalscorer? ??.
22.) 06 Aug 2023 18:11:45
All the best to Sakala, always gave 100% and played with a smile on his face.
23.) 06 Aug 2023 18:16:07
Storm bottom line is no manager fancied him in his time here.
Said before turning point for me with Sakala was at latter stages of Europa league run he was only fit striker but we opted for Aribo to play that role.
Best thing for both parties that he moved on.
Wish him all the best.
24.) 06 Aug 2023 18:32:31
Sakala leaving is good for me, he was over hyped and never a footballer, glad to see the back of him.
25.) 06 Aug 2023 18:47:11
Colak and Fashion were 2 of the success stories last season and both got sold because we can't shift the garbage we are now stuck with. And before anyone starts with Colak couldn't play the system it doesn't look like Sima and Dessers are upgrades on the 2 enough.
26.) 06 Aug 2023 18:48:50
Wish the guy all the best. Like most I had a soft spot for him but had my doubts about if he was good enough.
27.) 06 Aug 2023 18:50:04
It’s Still to early to be comparing the new signings to anyone, bad start yeah I get it but maybe it’s the wake up call some need. I think some of the new players thought the poorly thought of SPL was going to be a breeze.
These are players that are used to time on the ball because they’ve played in Holland or Italy, there not going to get that! If there truly good players they’ll adapt- like good players do.
This was always going to take time, but comparing players after competitive game is ludicrous. Sakala had a few seasons in this league and if we get a few million back for him then good. Maybe it can be put do buying a decent defender.
I don’t understand the merit behind comparing players after 1 competitive game, I don’t know how anyone can know how these players will look just yet! Although I’d agree the need a boot up the backside. And Beale needs to find a formula that’s effective, because no excuses there his players.
I think they’ll be a reaction midweek!
28.) 06 Aug 2023 18:59:38
I never said you did mark can’t you read? I asked you where did I say he was a natural goalscorer ?♂️.
29.) 06 Aug 2023 19:00:54
The current manager did not start match fit first pick certainties Cantwell and Danilo as he wanted to put out a side that would ensure a win apparently. whoa there and hod on the now I can see a wee problem with that idea.
30.) 06 Aug 2023 19:25:46
Any fee we get from now on should be invested in the left side of that defence, the amount of goals we peak from that side of the park is outrageous.
31.) 06 Aug 2023 19:43:59
All of these posters talking about Sakala as if he's some sort of superhero. Don't get me wrong I like the guy. It's only two or three weeks since many on here had him in the list they wanted sold to bring in funds.
It's a funny old game.
32.) 06 Aug 2023 19:47:54
Storm is right there was also Davies and SOUTTAR errors ?.
33.) 06 Aug 2023 19:54:58
Personally I liked the wee man always smiling
And gave his best he was very likeable and for me could have stayed only time will tell if his replacement can cut it, early days yes but also judgement will soon tell
Best of luck fashion.
34.) 06 Aug 2023 20:00:07
Storm, seems not????.
35.) 06 Aug 2023 20:04:04
Sakala was decent for us did his job, but he doesn't have the quality to take us further. Better to sell now for 3 mill than let him go for free or for 700k. Wish him the best. Sick of constant abuse that gets thrown on here at every player.
36.) 06 Aug 2023 20:06:52
Sima never showed pace? someone never watched us at the weekend.
37.) 06 Aug 2023 20:07:01
Playing with a smile and giving 100% should be a given for every player . doesn't make him a good football player. His composure is atrocious at best. 3m is good business and along with Kamara being sold will hopefully help us bring in another couple needed in certain positions.
38.) 06 Aug 2023 20:23:56
Has Lundstram got a cracker of a wife or knows something naughty about the manager?
39.) 06 Aug 2023 20:54:41
He wasn’t a free? This is a massive mistake selling him.
40.) 06 Aug 2023 20:54:43
let's judge all the new guys on 1 game. Also Sakala got 12 goals and 7 assists last sesson in league. I'll wager a tenner that both Danillo and Dessers better that this season. I get we are annoyed about the game but it's one game so let's wait before writing everyone off. I remeber the same comments being made when Sakala made his debut.
41.) 06 Aug 2023 20:58:53
To get three million plus for a player the manager does not want is excellent business.
42.) 06 Aug 2023 21:10:33
When players make individual errors is difficult so bringing in better quality should be a priority and i'd start by a LB and a LCB but if we have to. use the loan market then let's do that.
43.) 06 Aug 2023 22:12:41
True blue he was fancied last year when he came in with the best stats for a wide player he isn’t a striker.
Jfm what you on about? No one has said he is a superhero you are making that up in your own head.
Mark ? ?.
44.) 06 Aug 2023 22:26:07
Defence should have been sorted first, in forward positions it didn't need as much change . Butland and Dowell clearly excellent decisions though but really way too many changes up front to expect things to gel quickly. We have a load of strikers but few if any to provide chances for them, bit all over the place right now and the manager needs 2 good wins this week or it's going to pile on rapidly.
45.) 06 Aug 2023 22:40:56
Id have had Sakala on the pitch on saturday at least he runs and has pace we were crying out for that during that game might not be the most prolific but boy always shows effort something that was seriously lacking against Killie. We will miss him in my opinion.
46.) 06 Aug 2023 23:33:34
I think the intention was to raise money and buy Trusty but thatks out the window now. Trusty moved elsewhere. I still think Rangers will raise money and buy the best LCB they can find.
47.) 07 Aug 2023 00:00:21
Sakala missed vital chances, in important games, that arguably cost Rangers silverware last season. He’s okay, but we need better.
There’s a lot of people on here slating Sima but that lad is only 22 and has a great record of goals for Slavia domestic and in terms of goals. They were calling him the next Henry and he was signed by an EPL club a couple of years ago. He sunk Brendan Rodgers and his Leicester City team. I’m very confident he will come good.
48.) 07 Aug 2023 00:19:44
I read some nonsense on here. Colak a success story wtf! He was injured over half the season after a great start couldn't buy a goal. Constantly left out instead of Morelos. Explain how on earth that's a success story? Unbelievable.
49.) 07 Aug 2023 04:23:53
@Unbeliever People cannot see past Colak’s goals. He scored therefore he must be a success. It doesn’t matter if he just stand in the box doing nothing like Kris Boyd use to. Of course Morelos was picked ahead of him, he could do everything else so much better.
Hopefully in Dessers, Sima, Danilo, or Lammers, we’ve found guys that can’t link play and score goals.
50.) 07 Aug 2023 09:06:01
@raskin loyal because you never seen him with pace, he’s a dud? How many others showed pace on that game? Even players who we knows got pace couldn’t show it. I remember every time fashion had a game we’re he never scored or did score but took him 4 sitters to do so, a overwhelming majority of people said he should never were a Rangers jersey again! Especially after the old firm misses, the majority wanted change this summer and now it’s here and we’re going to give guys one competitive game and that’s it? That’s the definition of irrational.
@Raskinloyal I don’t know who your saying never watched the game, I noticed the snide comment coming in, but I watched it from Rugby Park- I paid my money and travelled back from Ayrshire gutted. And ruined my weekend. Did you watch it because it wasn’t just Sima- it was the entire team performance and the decisions made. If your only questioning Sima’s pace then I’m wondering if you watched it though? You can't Use pace if there’s no space to run into or you don’t get played the ball at the right times.
When you get knocked down you got to get straight back up not whine about what could have been, I remain behind that team and behind every single one of those players. I think there’s going to be a reaction during the week but Beale needs his strongest 11 on the park.
51.) 07 Aug 2023 09:11:31
I would have kept sakala, he’s the only one that offers any threat or pace. Now we’re as slow as a week in the Bar L.
52.) 07 Aug 2023 12:35:30
Only time will tell if new signings are a success or not, but 1 thing is certain, both sakala and colak are not of the quality for a successful rangers team.
Nice guys, yeah. Wish them well.
53.) 07 Aug 2023 14:53:42
Excellent business ????
Get a player for free who is valued at 6 million
Devalue him force him to play out off position
Finally start giving him games boy does ok better than some other options like roofe or wright
Replace him with a guy who is either just not up to speed yet or is slow
Sell him for 3 million lose to killie and not looking good for champions league.
Forced a player out door that wanted to stay not a good look for our club
Sakala scored same amount of goals as sima and dessers combined last year just for record.
54.) 07 Aug 2023 14:57:57
Sakala
Has heart
Tries his best
Has pace
Is direct
Takes a man on
Scores and assists as a winger/ forward
Wants to be at the club
Is by all accounts a happy guy to have around dressing room
And we force him out door?
I'm really disappointed how this guy is being treated by our club and some of our fans and manager.
55.) 07 Aug 2023 14:59:30
It boggles how a player can go from being a starter to not being good enough to keep in squad ahead of the likes of roofe wright and several others that didn't play as much.
56.) 07 Aug 2023 15:04:01
Mols you might be right or not but!
How does a player go from a regular starter to not deserving of a squad place when there is other guys like roofe eating for free at the club.
57.) 08 Aug 2023 09:16:08
Danilo will cheer you all up soon and make Dessers look the part too, patience .
58.) 08 Aug 2023 09:41:24
Verdant - hope you are right re our potential new goalscorers but to belittle 20 goals in a season beggars belief - let's see who is top scorer this season and how many goals they get.
I know many teams who would jump at a player who does very little else than BURY 20 ODD GOALS IN A SEASON? (playing limited games whether by injury or by management decision makes the total more poignant too - wouldn't you say? ) McCoist made a career of doing little else than scoring goals? and that was good enough for me.
59.) 08 Aug 2023 12:10:04
@Gofor - Lammers and Dessers were playing in a too 5 league in Italy last season. Sakala was playing in the SPFL. Comparing goal returns, when the difference in standard is so vast, seems foolish. I don’t think Sakala would be bagging double figures in Italy - Do you?
17 Jul 2023 20:34:38
Scott mckenna deal is growing legs. obviously Ross Wilson involved in this . wouldn't be a bad addition and would slot right in . A scot to boot.
1.) 17 Jul 2023 20:49:45
Where are you seeing/ reading that the scott mckenna deal has legs deecee ? I think he'd be a good signing mate ?.
2.) 17 Jul 2023 20:54:04
I wouldn’t be against it mate. Still like him as back up and not 1st choice but he may surprise me.
3.) 17 Jul 2023 21:02:45
Scott McKenna would be a super signing imo.
4.) 17 Jul 2023 21:04:40
A like McKenna wouldn’t mind this.
5.) 17 Jul 2023 21:31:39
I’d be happy with McKenna signing.
6.) 17 Jul 2023 21:42:26
Based on his Aberdeen days, he’s not good enough. Maybe he got better?
7.) 17 Jul 2023 21:51:21
Is Ross Wilson growing legs as part of the deal? ?.
8.) 17 Jul 2023 21:55:16
Not happening. he's not interest in playimg in scotland and there has been no contact.
9.) 17 Jul 2023 22:11:53
Well better player than he was at Aberdeen and only 26 still room to improve would still be Goodson and john souttar as cb pairing for me.
10.) 17 jul 2023 22:37:03
he was good enough mate, its just that he was, and is a young scot, he must be really poor, rangers fans have a long held rep for disrespecting scottish players, you only have to remember the countless ex rangers players who have been ripped apart on here, all scottish, each and every one from barry to duncan, mcinness to wright, the list is endless,
11.) 18 Jul 2023 01:29:37
Tomthumb the way some of our fans talk about past and present players is nothing short of disgraceful, it's actually embarrassing, once a Bear always a bear pfffft not for some of the fans, I don't mind constructive criticism that's part of the game but the name calling and personal attacks frustrates the life out me.
12.) 18 Jul 2023 03:40:15
Scott McKenna is a Celtic fan. He speaks openly about how he loved going to Parkhead as a kid for the big European nights. He loved the stadium and being under the lights, etc. His Dad is a season ticket holder at Parkhead.
If McKenna was coming back to Scotland he would join Celtic, not Rangers.
Also, before John27 falsely labels me a bigot for pointing out the fact out again let me just say this - That’s not bigotry John. I have not mentioned race, or religion. I just don’t want another Micheal O’Halloran at the club who doesn’t try because he prefers our biggest rivals.
13.) 18 Jul 2023 03:47:38
GJD83 correct mate. Once a bear always a bear. Naismith, ian black, sandaza, joey barton all welcome at ibrox any time.
14.) 18 Jul 2023 06:33:23
Verdant, players don't give a rubbish about who they supported as a kid when it comes to playing for one or the other.
I mean Celtics captain over the years was none other than Scott Brown who was a massive Rangers fan and even had a tattoo of the badge but he gave everything for them when he was there.
15.) 18 Jul 2023 07:07:58
Verdant correct this post not bigotry, glad u r learning.
16.) 18 Jul 2023 07:31:46
Bigblue, verdant just gave you an example of one that did - O’Hallaran!
And I’m by no way a bigot either but I think it’s a bit of a risk signing a player that would rather play for the other team across the city. Would happily sign one of their ex players like Armstrong (that didn’t really have an allegiance one way or the other) . But if we sign a die hard Celtic fan, then as soon as their form dips the insults and allegations would start flying. If you think they wouldn’t then your extremely naive.
17.) 18 Jul 2023 08:46:40
“My dad was a Celtic season-ticker holder, I went to a few Celtic games round the time they were doing well in Europe. I remember being there when Alan Thompson scored versus Barcelona. I used to love going to a midweek game at Parkhead under the lights. ” - Scott McKenna.
18.) 18 Jul 2023 09:14:51
I firmly do not believe if a player signs for a team that he won't try because he supports their rival team. that's just nonsense.
19.) 18 Jul 2023 12:00:19
“I firmly do not believe if a player signs for a team that he won't try because he supports their rival team. that's just nonsense. ”
Ever heard of a guy called Michael O’Halloran? He use to go to the Celtic games while on the Rangers payroll. The people who pay their hard earned money to go to Ibrox didn’t like that one bit. How can we have a player at Rangers who would rather be at our most bitter rivals? How can we trust him to give us everything, if he wants our rivals to succeed? Not for me, thanks.
If Scott McKenna decided to come back to Scotland Celtic would be his preferred destination. They would have him as well.
20.) 18 Jul 2023 12:43:31
There is trying and there is going beyond, like Bomber Brown playing with a broken leg!
That’s probably not a good example because those players don’t exist anymore. But more recently we have had players that have taken injections to keep playing, do you think a die hard Celtic fan would do that or would they make sure they are fit for Internationals etc?
?
Im with Verdant on this tbh.
21.) 18 Jul 2023 15:03:57
Guess it's all about professionalism of the player in question but to state that a player wouldn't sign because of who he supports is just pure guess work. Like a said Brown was a Rangers man and he gave them lot everything even against us.
22.) 18 Jul 2023 16:13:31
Scott Allan signed for Celtic and said his ‘status as a Rangers fan was overstated’. Do you believe that? He never stopped being a Rangers fan and only went there for the money. I don’t want these types anywhere near Ibrox. They can’t be trusted.
23.) 18 jul 2023 19:08:14
armstrong was a massive celtic fan, as was his family.

07 Oct 2024 22:11:22
when Ridvans fit do we move jefte up . pretty decent left side . maybe even same at the other end. Dutchie and tav further up . thoughts.
1.) 08 Oct 2024 05:10:21
Jefte yes Tav no.
Tav has been here almost 10 year and over that time at least once a month somebody comes on here saying ‘why not play him further forward’ and to be honest the answer is always the same. He’s not a winger and would be lost further forward. Years ago when he was good he’d run from deep and therefor wouldn’t be effective further forward and now he’s brutal whatever position he plays so he’s now more effective on the bench or even just in the stands as he’s now our third best right back.
2.) 08 Oct 2024 07:24:04
Nope, Jefte is a LB - so unless there is an crisis he plays LB.
Right hand side will eventually be Kasa and Cerny.
3.) 08 Oct 2024 10:13:43
EHL what about Sterling? He just signed an extension for a reason, you would think?
Kasa should get a shot along side Soapy.
4.) 08 Oct 2024 11:24:27
Ehl he can play lw as well mate and I was more impressed with him as a left winger, Yilmaz did play lb and him lw in only one game and it was probably our best understanding on the left side.
5.) 08 Oct 2024 12:43:33
I wouldn`t mind trying Sterling at centre back alongside Souttar, he has pace and strength and can play out from the back . Anytime he has filled in there he has looked decent.
6.) 08 Oct 2024 12:53:19
I’m in the same boat my star I think he’s better on the wing than full back.
7.) 08 Oct 2024 13:45:29
Think we are in a bit of a crisis in LW, both LW injured, Lawrence out so Bajarmi no 10 and McCausland gives much more on right, even without Ridvan coming back a think Jefte would be my choice at moment on wing with Kasa filling in at left back.
8.) 08 Oct 2024 17:22:16
It's time for Tav to go.
9.) 08 Oct 2024 20:07:08
the games which Jefte played LW were in Europe so he probably got same space there as he does coming from deep in SPL; same reason as you give why Tav couldn't play forward years ago.
we have 1 LW out and Matondo coming back. We have Bajrami who has been at his best in LW so he will play there with Lawrence at no10. McCausland might be back up at LW as we like to cut in.
BTW as we are sharing wish lists i'd like to win lottery and spend a night with Gal Gadot or Ana de Armas (don't tell the wife)

The Lyon score aside which may have been different if we scored first, I feel we are probably in the best position since the Beale era. They will drop points as we will . Once we get a formula and system down pat things will click. The strength of the team can only get stronger as time goes bye. The Hagi pass was first class and look forward to his return . We still need a option at #9 but dessers should be good for over 20 goals this season built on a boatload of missed chances but even super Ally missed sitters . Clement now has a chance to get that system up and running in training with the break. Hopefully he is learning what works and what doesn't. Maybe even putting Tav wide right with cerny moving inside when he attacks. The dutch lad should be his replacement through time .
1.) 07 Oct 2024 14:55:34
Deecee, disagree slightly. I think we really miss an in form Cantwell style player to get moves going, to create spaces for others and chances as well.
The last 2 league games we have had 2 moments of absolute brilliance to break the deadlock. Those goals normally don’t go in and in those situations I think we struggle to score.
Also think we lack cutting edge up front and from wide positions.
Over the last few years Celtic have had wingers that hit double figures with goals and assists. We just don’t have that and I think because of that we will drop more points than them over the course of the season.
2.) 07 Oct 2024 15:26:47
I agree with you Zikos. We need better up front and more pace with quality end product.
I struggle to see a defined system and still believe we are far too easy to play through in midfield. Also think that Nana should be right back now, not “over time” the time is now.
Glad Cerny got his goals and hopefully he pushes on but overall he has been very poor.
The jury is still out on Propper for me. Dessers is far too inconsistent.
Positives were Raskin looked hungry and played well. Nana looks great when he’s played. Hagi should add the “moments” that we need to unlock teams in stuffy games. And Souttar has cut out the daft mistakes this season.
3.) 07 Oct 2024 16:11:02
agree and disagree with you both to an extent. Our shot conversion is no worse than Liverpool, Man City so either everyone else in the team scores disproportionately or Dessers doesn't get as many chances to miss as we think. Our wingers are scoring goals and as for 2 of them this is their first season in SPL we can't really say they won't reach double figures. we no have at least 3 players, Bajrami, Cerny and Hagi who have the ability to create chances for themselves and others so who knows. Not sure about absolute brilliance last night. player turns in on his good foot and curls a (cracker granted) shot into far corner using defender to cover its direction. I think he, Hagi and Bajrami have that in their locker. Lawrence has the ability as well to score and create so we are gathering more difference makers in the team.
also I think as well they will lose points. RC on Sunday is the type of game where they struggled last year as well. Losing CCV and their left back makes them weaker in defence and give teams a chance. if they don't play Kyogo they aren't as fluid going forward. always hope and we are improving. Keeping clean sheets always gives you a chance.
4.) 07 Oct 2024 17:22:58
Celtic so far are averaging 3 goals a game and we’re averaging 1.15 goals per game. Eventually these low scoring games become draws.
This has been the case now for the last 6 or 7 years. We need more goals from forward players and also for the midfield to chip in to.
We need a system that enables players to create more chances and when we have them we need a ruthless striker to put them away.
5.) 07 Oct 2024 17:54:35
3 points last night but absolutely miles off it. Not battering teams like this is another reason why we get slapped by Celtic every game, absolute torture to watch
Slow
Boring
Passive
Lack of urgency
Lack of a press
Lack of desire to score goals
No movement
No combinations
What’s good?
6.) 07 Oct 2024 17:55:58
I think we are always there or there about when it comes to goals conceded with that lot, but we never score as many. As zikos said it's been a problem for a while now. The whole team need to be chipping in take a bit of pressure of Cyril.
7.) 07 Oct 2024 20:57:49
Correct Zikos.
8.) 07 Oct 2024 22:26:49
we say that they score much more but last season there was a goal difference of 10 with us conceding 2 more so they only scored 8. that is with us only having tavs and dessert on double figures. I think we both have more this year so far. they also had more draws than us last season. just stats and winning by 1 goal doesn't mean we are likely to draw. losing goals means that more often, e. g. 1-0 to the Arsenal as in their undefeated season.
04 Oct 2024 20:13:06
Can we expect Hagi on the team sheet on sunday?
1.) 05 Oct 2024 01:13:42
No. He's nowhere near fit enough.
2.) 05 Oct 2024 04:47:47
We desperately need him. He might not start, but he played 90 minutes for the B team, 20-30 minutes for Romania team. He is fit.
If PC does not want to use him, he will say that he is not ready, but that could be a costly lie.
3.) 05 Oct 2024 06:51:47
Yes he definitely will be. Definitely not a starting 11 and most likely not get any minutes, but for me a better option than Dowell.
4.) 05 Oct 2024 07:31:31
Doubt he'll be brought in but not sure how u can judge his fitness when he's still getting called up for Romania. But we're currently playing 3 RBs and Dowell shows we're desperately short.
04 Oct 2024 15:34:57
We scored in the opening minutes against malmo and really should have had 2 goals in the first 10 minutes last night that would have changed the mood and the tempo of the team and the fans. The Cerny miss is up there with any sitters I have ever seen . an open bulging net. Games change with decisive moments and what a message cerny would have sent to the support regarding the flack he has been taking. Kinda etched it in stone. but I bet he starts at the weekend along with our current captain.
1.) 04 Oct 2024 17:19:15
You have to take the chances presented to you at that level.
And not give away much at the other end.
2.) 04 Oct 2024 18:57:59
Just don’t see if with clement he’s been here a year and we look just as bad as we were before him or maybe worse? No structure defensively and no patterns of play attacking and leaves us so open to get a hammering off good teams. Inability or stubbornness to change things when it’s not been working for a while now is worrying also.
Tav got absolutely roasted last night it’s time to see either Sterling or new Dutch boy properly I thought Dutch. Boy at LB was very good against malmo then he’s barely been seen since maybe get him starting LB or RB then move jefte up one so Bajrami can play his own position also.
Misses last night you have to take them it’s incredible how bad they were. Cerny also would be sending him back in January cause I think he’s also rotten to 1 footed and refuses to commit a defender or anything.
Fear for clement the fans if not already are on brink of turning on him already any dropped points before NY game and it will turn bad and if he makes it that long another loss to them could end him as manager of our club I feel but definitely worried about what we are currently seeing on the pitch.
03 Oct 2024 22:02:01
Outplayed - outclassed - out coached by a country mile. First time I'll state this but Clement is clueless. His team selections, substitutions and game plans are abysmal. bringing on a speedy winger who scored in Sweden in the 80th minute was that for me.
and not taking off cerny at half-time was criminal. his miss in the opening minutes gave them belief and it was curtains after that . all I can say is thank god it wasn't tottenham tonight. rant over.
1.) 03 Oct 2024 22:18:07
Mate, take a day off. Cerny aye howling, Barron. It a mention for a ridiculous mistake? Manager clueless? Individual mistakes, missed opportunities and a severe gulf in class.
McCausland has pace but is useless when opposition has pace and power, he has none.
We were poor and lacked tempo, but to pin that on PC is strange. How would you have played with players at his disposal?
2.) 03 Oct 2024 22:18:56
deecee that had little to do with coaching of the team. Their front 3 were superb and we will be (un) lucky to face that quality again this season. Cerny's miss was one of the worst I've seen, but even if we had scored that I still think their front 3 would have caused us problems all night.
I don't think the Spurs frontline will be as good as that. Their whole team will be better but quality in front 3 I don't think so.
3.) 03 Oct 2024 22:28:06
Cerny is a donkey. Lazy player. Offers nothing.
4.) 03 Oct 2024 22:36:55
A lot of blinkers on here. that's all i can say. Keep the blinkers on. All will be fine lol.
5.) 03 Oct 2024 22:40:22
Deecee, you're the one who is clueless. We went head to head with them and their end product was better than ours. Big money helps.
6.) 03 Oct 2024 22:41:42
out coached? it was simply the case they were a far better side, far better players front three were great their midfield dominated thought their defence wasn’t great but when the chances came we fluffed our lines.
Our midfield was poor. They ran over ours. This shows just how poor a league we have. You see it in transfers they spend £140 mill attracting good players. We spend £21 mill and struggle to attract top players. Europe is beyond us.
No top players or half decent players want to come to our league it’s rotten and we still think we should be beating teams like Lyon not a chance they were head and shoulders above us and no manager could be in our dugout and get a win.
7.) 03 Oct 2024 22:45:38
What was the score again gordy? lol. Even you could have scored that cerny miss, i think.
8.) 03 Oct 2024 23:12:15
Twacoos the most realistic and accurate post tonight.

Petulance follows you around like a plague. smarten your act son as the stuffs there . look at lowrie for pointers.
30 Jul 2024 11:29:36
might be losing your house ToddTheProd13.shanks would be a good signing and just what's needed. no debut at tynecastle though as maybe he doesn't want to disrespect the jams.
22 Jun 2024 14:41:56
things are moving along nicely john227.quality and players who will bleed blue a priority for me. so far so good.
10 Feb 2024 13:21:46
Great news. Bring on #56.
06 Oct 2024 15:58:37
That'll do. except I don't see Hagi starting.
04 Oct 2024 12:35:03
their defence was there for the taking and their goallie was a nervous wreck first half hour . Cerny miss was criminal and he should have been replaced at half time. back to our level at the weekend and will be world beaters come monday after humping st j.
03 Oct 2024 22:45:38

Agree 100% . the spl is living in the dark ages. and after the 7-1 demolition the other night its now apparent that our league is a joke.
