There seems to be an assumption from the green half that because Rangers gave them a fright, Celtic will be ready and win the semi. While they will obviously be ready now, I also think we will be too after that match on Sun and it could well be us in the Cup Final for the second year in a row.
1.) 16 Mar 2017 23:58:48
The game could go either way if i'm being honest but you have to laugh when the dhims say"but we'll not play that bad again". eh they might play even worse, there human beings not robots and tbh i don't actually think Selik were bad on Sun i just think we nullified the threat and also we didn't even play that well, yes we set up well but we didn't actually do well when we had the ball
2.) 17 Mar 2017 09:04:55
As long we are up for the game on the day, and give it their all, that's all we can ask. Still a lot of improvement needed. Don't expect the Tim's to acknowledge that sometimes their world superstars can be outplayed. If Celtic win 5-0 we are Rangers, if they get beat or draw, we are newcomers etc. They are the most schizophrenic fans in the game.
3.) 17 Mar 2017 09:10:33
Both times we have got a result against them in the last year they claimed to have had a bad day but when they win they played amazing usual gumth from the timmys and the press
we got the draw because hill and Hodson played Sinclair and dembele of the park
getting bored of hearing about how bad they were in the day take it on the chin and admit the other team played well
4.) 17 Mar 2017 11:30:37
If ever a club or a team deserved a break its Rangers. How magical it would be to lift silverwaire our first season back. I am feeling positive. Believe fellow bears.
5.) 17 Mar 2017 11:33:12
What got me down was we kicked celtic out of last seasons Scots cup but let hibs snatch the cup from us with us 2-1 up and 10 mins to go.
6.) 17 Mar 2017 14:25:37
yeah that hibs display was a sign of what was to come this season under warburton. we should have won and been in europa cup this season, never mind next
7.) 17 Mar 2017 15:37:44
If all went down hill after the celtic game last year was as if yeah we beat the manky ones we will stroll every other game that win was the worst thing to happen too the manager and squad they all thought they were big shots after that the warbs in hindsight should have went after that
8.) 17 Mar 2017 17:15:19
It was more like after a great result like that you can get an adverse reaction in your next game or 2, except it stayed with us from then on.
9.) 19 Mar 2017 00:06:08
All I've heard from the other half is "that was a pen" yes I agree it was, but let's not forget Waghorn missed 2 gilt edged chances! chances a boyd, griffiths, dembele or miller would have buried! all ifs and buts! in reality outwith Armstrong Celtic posed absolutely no threat whatsoever! hodson nullified Sinclair, Hill gave Dembele not a sniff!
If u were to rave about 1 single youngster in that game then it was Hyndman all the way for me
17 Jan 2017 21:17:24
Garner could be back in 3 weeks.
1.) 18 Jan 2017 18:47:08
Yeah in England. as Ipswich are swooping about.
2.) 18 Jan 2017 22:26:43

So it's to be 3rd, yes a fair bit from what we wanted first season back or not and had it not been for some inexplicable rubbish results v Ross C etc we may well have got 2nd as that was the best we expected, however it's the cup that I care about now and in the meantime winning as much as we can including Pittodrie on Sun, although I feel we will do well to get a point there as I feel they are the form team right now, and I include Celtic in that as they have possibly recently been feeling the effects as the season nears it's end.
1.) 02 Apr 2017 14:36:08
Our players are not good enough. They have totally the wrong mentality. Warburton turned them into a bunch of softies. Pedro needs to be given money to spend to bring in his own guys. If that means selling players like McKay so be it. Difficult to see many, if any of our current squad that are good enough to wrestle the title away from Celtic other than Hyndman
2.) 02 Apr 2017 15:12:22
3rd spot still gives us a crack at europa. let's just give Pedro and the boys our full support and we go again in the summer.
3.) 02 Apr 2017 15:16:18
We have good players who are all just too similar. We don't have the players to go out and just play a 442. Tavernier was a big miss offensively.
4.) 02 Apr 2017 16:44:08
That's correct we don't have enough versatility within the team, Crooks for instance seems different to the rest of the midfield with his power but literally hasn't kicked a ball for us this season.
5.) 02 Apr 2017 20:37:03
Really hope Warbuton comes in for Kiernan, got a feeling tho that Tavs, Waghorn and possibly Dodoo will be targets ahead of him. Out of them all i'd say Tavs is the player I would not want to lose, but i would be okay if all did! Think Kiernan is rubbish Wags is a Championship player Dodoo may become a 20+ goals player but for some reason the lad can't step up?
As for Tavs, Caixinha should use him with regards to who were playing. He's not the best defender but if we can play a team confident our backing can cope with opposing teams whilst our RB is bombing down wing then fine OR we utilise Tavs in midfeild but I think we have players that are better in that position and Caixinha will bring his own players.
So as we are struggling financially and a decent bid comes for Tavs i'd take it as Hudson is a decent replacement. i'd take anything over 1m for Tavs although I think if he was playing in Championship at moment his minimum valuation would be 2m! i'd take anything over 250k for Kiernan 1m+ for Wags and 500k+ for Dodoo.
Now these are prices that are probably a fair bit below what some of these players are worth BUT Clubs know our situation and will offer fee's that they think we will accept due to this. We must trim the squad, Caixinha will have been told how much his budget is and I think he will have been told that any money raised through outgoing transfers and the wages of Toral, Hyndman, Sendaros will be his to recycle.
This is why I'm slightly worried for Hill and Miller as Caixinha may think that he could get better players either on loan or free transfers for the wages they are on! And he may but if Hill and Miller take a cut in wages which I think we will ask them to AND I cannot see either of them getting anything better anywhere else then hopefully they will stay.
I think Hill has another season in him and could bring Bates on and Miller could run his legs off for 45-60 mins and again would be great for the younger guys coming through! So players that could go being a bit ruthless are.
Kiernan
Hill
Sendaros
Tavs
Halliday
McKay
O'halloran/ Forester (1 will go? )
Toral
Hyndman
Dodoo
Waghorn
Miller (hope he stays lot to offer)
If all of these players go I hope all the money raised goes straight back into Club that plus the Sports Direct thing being settled letting us buy tops and the money King and Co have told Pedro is there for him then a fairly decent Transfer Fund could be available, but it could be so very different!
Meaning our chances of making Group stage of Europa and having a decent season next year not much different to this one! Needed to wait and see, if McKay goes too I think we must realise that he may go for as little as £3 million but that figure could easily double with the way some Transfers have gone, again if he was playing Down South a 6m fee would be a minimum!
6.) 02 Apr 2017 20:40:03
I don't think we have a proper central midfielder, I mean a pure box to box midfielder.
7.) 02 apr 2017 21:10:02
still think there is a strong possibility of crooks being used as ch! if caixinha buys a cdm and hill goes and caixinha gets rid of kiernan and we all wish for this to happen.
i say we offer him dodoo and wags to forest and cross our fingers! anyways i just hope crooks gets a chance, be it cdm or ch. Don't know if crooks could play there but he has the build for it and could in no way bring any worse than kiernan!
even having crooks as squad back up to ch as i think the manager will have to use the squad like this instead of buying and paying 2 players for nearly every position!
get a solid settled back 4, then concentrate on assisting our strikers.
finding players who can make passes cutting open teams and players who can get down the wing and getting balls into the box to feet or crosses whipped in! bye bye dodoo and wags and got a feeling he may be considering letting miller go leaving us with garner!
we need strong, fast technical players who will take players on going forward. this team has been managed by a man, who by all accounts didn't like confrontation! hate to bring this up but the barton situation would have been different if we had a smith or a mcliesh at the helm. even if pedro was there, i think a man who knows how to talk to men would have banged heads with a degree of mutual respect would have told whoever involved to sort it out or all of them would be ball boys for rest of season!
At the end of the day our season depends on transfer capabilities!
8.) 02 Apr 2017 21:24:19
6 million for Mckay. Send me some of that stuff your smoking! He is valued at the current rate on transfer market at 850k.
We need to get a bit lucky and we need a scouting department in place or we are going to end up with more low quality players.
9.) 02 Apr 2017 23:28:13
Dodoo and Waggy to Forrest? Warbs didn't even play them when he was here
10.) 03 Apr 2017 14:25:18
We would be lucky to get £3 million for McKay.
11.) 03 Apr 2017 19:52:31
If someone offers 2 million for McKay I will drive him for his medical myselff
01 Apr 2017 19:03:26
From what I can gather we struggled again today with the physical aspect in midfield, is it likely Crooks could play a bigger part next season?
1.) 01 Apr 2017 21:04:42
We couldn't match Motherwell physically but there was certainly a few dubious challenges.
Hope Caixinha addresses this problem in the next transfer window.
2.) 01 Apr 2017 22:45:18
Let's hope he gets rid of the slow fat useless Waghorn. Appalling player and what about that pathetic dive. Total embarrassment of a player utterly useless
3.) 01 Apr 2017 23:12:50
We need power and height in the middle of the park
4.) 01 Apr 2017 23:14:27
Challenges which won't merit a line in the Sunday Liam.
19 Feb 2017 10:45:48
I think we should get McInnes, someone who knows which tempo and intensity to play at in this league, something we lost under Warburton.
1.) 19 Feb 2017 11:25:12
Aberdeen will want close to a million compensation . Then if warbs, weir n macpartland win their case? All in that could be close to 3 million between the two . That is before a ball is kicked, just sorting out the manager situation . Add in the other 750,000 still to be paid for garner?
2.) 19 Feb 2017 15:49:20
Keirnan lost at dundee's first goal.
04 Feb 2017 13:22:45
Getting second was all we could have reasonably expected, whether it was 1pt or 10 ahead of Aberdeen, just get second, it's a ridiculous amount behind Celtic but they have been a long long way ahead of second place teams the past 4 years and it seems how single fish the league is.
1.) 04 Feb 2017 14:04:50
Ha ha. It's always single fish when it's not your team winning it. Hope that makes you feel better, I bet you never thought it was single fish when rangers were out spending everyone. I feel your pain😅😅
2.) 04 Feb 2017 14:11:10
Well lads who we going to blame if it goes boobies up today. No halliday, kiernan or waggy
3.) 04 Feb 2017 14:52:24
The man who coaches, lays down tactics, motivates and picks the team. It's not the fault of the players who are obviously not up to standard but are thrown together every week on the park.
4.) 04 Feb 2017 17:09:16
The entire league is awful regardless of who is winning or not! You can kid yourself on if you like! This Rangers team are absolutely pathetic
05 Jan 2017 16:20:16
Is he after a striker?
21 Apr 2017 22:15:25
Saw this as well, seems to be growing, this would be about the last thing we need.
21 Apr 2017 17:43:19
Would imagine there will be money available otherwise the manager wouldn't have come.
05 Apr 2017 16:24:33
Take it Halliday will be left back in the semi as Wallace is confirmed out.
02 Apr 2017 14:46:37
Meant Marv
02 Apr 2017 10:58:14
Think he'll stay in England tbh.
27 Apr 2017 17:27:59
What's ridiculous about it? For all we now this might be the case, where did I blame the manager anyway?
27 Apr 2017 17:26:41
Thanks for a sensible reply Blueshaun.
27 Apr 2017 17:15:09
There has been an increase recently.
16 Apr 2017 14:48:49
Hill will be back Sun
07 Apr 2017 19:36:26
Hill out again, don't fancy Bates against them.
