Interesting to see his progress, but there are a couple of well regarded people in the game see a bit of Romelu Lukaku in Chermiti.
Might be a stretch but time will tell.
16 Feb 2026 16:03:05
If Chermiti is even near as good as Romelu Lukaku, that would do me. 🙏 Tbh, Figo and many Portuguese coaches who've coached Chermiti in the past all rave about his ability and how good he'll become. 🤔
16 Feb 2026 16:41:30
Chermiti did very well yesterday, comfortably his best game in a blue jersey. But I think some of the Chermiti brigade are getting a bit carried away by one performance. Let's see him do that over a run of games before we proclaim him as the answer.
16 Feb 2026 17:30:36
Consistency is key, as you say, Jackboy. I hope he is able to score on a regular basis, benefiting him and us in the long run. 👍
16 Feb 2026 17:46:21
He's more of a cross between Bergkamp and Harry Kane, in my opinion.
16 Feb 2026 17:49:46
Let's give the big man some credit. He is still young and developing. We should be singing his praises and start using the Dembelle calculator when discussing him. Let's start with 20 million... We must be the only supporters not to talk up our players.
16 Feb 2026 17:51:23
I see Chermiti as the new Dessers, run down by the majority, but we always loved him.
16 Feb 2026 18:05:13
Jackboy, I don't think the Chermiti brigade, as you call them, are getting carried away. I think they're just pleased for the boy, and are delighted he's showing he definitely is a talent, and, of course, he's still very young, with much more to come, along with, hopefully, his consistency to score goals on a regular basis.
🤔 He definitely has ability and nobody can deny that. 🤔
16 Feb 2026 18:15:29
Young players struggle for consistency. Playing at a good level for months and years builds that. Chermiti has the attributes, that's why we forked out for him. It's all about building on what he's got. He could be a real player if we give him a chance.
16 Feb 2026 18:29:20
Jim. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No matter what he did yesterday, he needs to be replaced.
16 Feb 2026 18:50:28
Jackboy, it's clear as day he has ability. It seems some wouldn't like him being a success at Rangers so they can say 'see'. Try supporting every player that puts that jersey on. You were probably one that didn't want him starting yesterday. Try trusting the man that got us in this position. I think he knows far better than your average fan.
16 Feb 2026 18:55:01
I'm putting my neck on the line and saying it now. Big Chermiti will hit double figures this season!
Only needs another 3. 😜
16 Feb 2026 19:54:18
Fool, I'm looking for another 10 in 14 games.
16 Feb 2026 19:58:08
Don't think there are any true fans who do not want Chermiti to be a success, as it will be a win-win situation. He helps us win games, & we make a profit when he moves on.
16 Feb 2026 20:08:04
Reminds me of a young Kanu.
16 Feb 2026 20:13:58
Every supporter of our club wants every player to be successful.
16 Feb 2026 20:22:40
So next match then, that'll be good, onwards and upwards.
16 Feb 2026 20:39:09
Foolmonty, if he hits double figures in his debut season, then imo that's a great start. Considering 6 goals have been against our title rivals, we still have at least 4 games against them. It could be double figures before the split. 😂
16 Feb 2026 21:34:03
You know what, I am still on the fence re the big man, but a moment stood out for me yesterday, and it was not any of the three goals, but the chasing back down the line (our right) to hassle the Hearts player and win the throw-in.
Now, that, to me, showed the commitment I expect from every team member, but to be the guy up front and chasing back was great to see.
16 Feb 2026 21:46:46
Mystar, it's pretty clear I want him to do well. Why wouldn't I? You're spot on, I didn't want him starting, but I'm not here to say "see if he fails" (which is what you're doing the other way after yesterday). I'm looking for way more from a Rangers striker than what I've seen from him up to now.
Even adding yesterday's performance in, I still highly doubt he's good enough going forward, and I still say seven goals to this point is a massive underachievement. I hope he bangs them in over the next 3 months, but he won't in my opinion. Up front is the weakest area of the squad for me.
16 Feb 2026 22:10:11
Jack Boy, I've never read a post where u don't want a player to do well. U, like me and everyone on here, are entitled to their opinion.
16 Feb 2026 22:15:37
He's played well in a big percentage of games for Rangers. The idea that he's only played well against Celtic and Hearts is just nonsense. Jackboy, try supporting him. He scored six goals in four games against Celtic and Hearts; that must be where the good comes from. You clearly don't see he's involved in more than goals.
He won most duels yesterday. His ball control is a different class, great feet for a big man. I read on here last week that his ball control was poor; they must be watching a different player from me. He's good at linking up play. It's getting rather boring talking about him constantly. If you see nothing, I'm cool with that.
16 Feb 2026 22:31:01
Hopefully the boy finds a level of consistency. He's only 21. I think he will be different class next season.
16 Feb 2026 14:01:57
Big Chermiti's header was like the headers big hately used to score. Fair play to the big boy absolutely delighted for him, you could see what it meant to him also. Brilliant result, to put those jambos in there place.
Gutted not to be there yesterday what an atmosphere, said during the week we need to be 12th man, didn't we just. That's what Ibrox is all about, new boys would have loved it!
16 Feb 2026 15:52:22
Like Old Firm games and Europe, it was a standing game for 90+ mins, great atmosphere, and one that will be replicated until the end of the season. A lot of the players will have experienced that for the first time, and it's up to them to make sure it stays that way. Can't wait for the next game.
16 Feb 2026 15:52:51
As long as he's like himself, that's the main thing.
16 Feb 2026 16:12:37
I think DR loved it more, tearing down the touchline.
16 Feb 2026 16:52:50
That has been my most enjoyable game this season. The crowd were excellent, and we controlled the game. It looked like whatever they scored, we would score more.
16 Feb 2026 17:02:26
Had to laugh at the clown of a commentator on Sportscene when he said that Chermiti glanced his header in.
16 Feb 2026 17:57:52
He absolutely smashed it in JFM, past the keeper before he even knew what was happening. He's been torn to shreds on here at times, so should take all the plaudits when he plays like that imo.
16 Feb 2026 18:09:17
Also, nice to hear the fud Michael Stewart does not rate Chermiti. That plonker's hatred for us has no bounds.
16 Feb 2026 18:09:18
Chermiti's header was a superb attacking leap, and he put his neck muscles fully into it to bullet it into the net. 👌 He was miles above any Hearts player to bullet his header. A superb headed goal, from a very good cross from ASO. 👌 🇬🇧
16 Feb 2026 18:23:45
They're clearly working on the runs he is to make to the box.
16 Feb 2026 18:30:59
Danny's run up the touchline reminded me of Walter doing the same. I'm delighted for him. He was under pressure with team selection, but got it spot on.
16 Feb 2026 20:52:45
I don't like Michael Stewart, but he's right to say that until he does it consistently.
16 Feb 2026 21:25:28
Rosevale, how does he have the right? The guy is a clown and a bitter wee man. He is a poor pundit and was an even worse player.
16 Feb 2026 21:28:00
Stewart was asked if Chermiti had the "potential" to be a great striker for Rangers, and he said no, highlighting some of the faults in his game. Given the boy is 21, had just shown all his abilities as a centre forward and scored a great hat trick, it's hard to see how he can say he doesn't have the potential.
Different if he was asked if that hat trick makes him a great striker now. It is Stewart though, so we shouldn't expect anything different. All he wanted to do was talk about Hearts, and he actually tipped Motherwell for the title.
16 Feb 2026 22:26:21
Don't like Michael Stewart one bit, but isn't he just saying what a lot of fans are. I think he is wrong, as he has shown his technical ability and potential and just needs more goals to his game.
Some fans want players to be immediate successes, and aren't willing to give the time to players to develop into those success stories. That is the difference between what Star is saying.
16 Feb 2026 14:00:27
Maybe a bit early but do we think gers will make the Skov Olsen deal permanent? . haven't seen much from him in the games he has played to sugest worth the €9 million to keep him.
I know hasn't played much in past 3/4 months so might take him few more weeks to get up to speed but you look at Rommens on the other hand not 100% and looks the part.
Obviously hope he does come good and we do sign him but the original buzz from him signing is getting less and less each time watch him play.
16 Feb 2026 15:33:14
He set up Chermiti for the 3rd goal with a beauty of a cross. He has also scored for Rangers vs Dundee, and I feel he is getting better each game. If this is what he can do with little match sharpness and fitness (scoring and assisting), then what can he actually do with a full pre-season? No brainer for me, sign him up.
Tuur Rommens was playing regular football with Westerlo. He also oozes quality; that's why he fits straight in.
16 Feb 2026 15:42:58
Far too early to tell. On current form, no. I would be trying to negotiate the price down; however, I'm fairly certain by the end of the season we will all love him, and if we do win anything, he will have a big part to play in it.
The ability is clear to see in flashes; he just needs to start doing it more, and we need to find him in and around the box more.
16 Feb 2026 15:44:33
As it stands, no, he needs to up his game soon to be worth spending that sort of money on him. Regardless of whether we make him permanent or not, though, I would maintain that it was worth the gamble to get him in on this expensive loan with option to buy.
16 Feb 2026 15:45:17
Too early to consider, imo. He will need his full term with us to assess, as he's not played much.
16 Feb 2026 15:56:33
Olsen will get better by the game. I got a feeling he's going to click into top form when it matters. As for Rommens, I loved him from his first pass and run. He's got class written all over him.
16 Feb 2026 15:56:43
It was Kilmarnock he scored against, and it was a good finish, yeah.
He picked out Chermiti well, but given the time and space he had, you would expect that of any player with any sort of ability.
Not trying to be negative, maybe I am just expecting too much too soon. Hopefully he just needs minutes to get up to speed and starts producing the goods.
16 Feb 2026 16:03:17
We are all aware that we had hoped for a bit more from him in the way of swagger and style. Some say he looks frightened. However, when Cerny arrived, many were offering to drive him away. Most of us wanted to keep him and would rather have paid to do so than lose him and get Chermiti.
Things may well change as he settles in and gets more game time under his belt. But, despite that, his numbers are pretty good, and his final ball is excellent. Give it time, I think he is likely to be worth every penny.
16 Feb 2026 16:51:43
Yes, I 100% believe Rangers will make the deal permanent, as a contract is already agreed in principle.
16 Feb 2026 17:27:55
He's only been involved in a few games, maybe a bit of patience is required.
16 Feb 2026 17:57:47
Agree, he hasn't shown much yet, but I get the feeling it is coming. He has a World Cup, potentially, to play himself into as well, so he will be chomping at the bit to hit form and get his confidence up. Another 5 or 6 games, and hopefully he'll be unstoppable.
16 Feb 2026 18:25:24
You can see the quality in flashes, I think he'll come good, especially now the games come once per week for a while.
16 Feb 2026 18:31:39
Tbh, he's not shown he's worth 9m, so let's wait and see.
16 Feb 2026 18:40:14
Fgs, he's just in the f****** door.
16 Feb 2026 18:43:50
He's only played 233 minutes in the league and has a goal and an assist already. 😅
16 Feb 2026 19:15:22
I agree, Coully. There have been a few moments in each match he has played where he has shown real quality. He will get numbers and will also improve the numbers of the players around him.
If we can get him permanently, it's a no-brainer for me.
16 Feb 2026 21:31:50
He didn't have a great game yesterday, but it was a great cross for Chermiti's header, and he also started the move for Chermiti's first goal. I don't think he's the type to run riot on the ball or score lots of goals, but he will quietly affect games and create chances, which is something we need.
16 Feb 2026 13:05:06
In answer to a posters remark about the fans and Chermiti taking heat Fans were correct to say he shouldn't start up until last night as his goals ratio was abhorrent at best apart from the tic game-the sitter against well cost us 2 points.BUT last night I saw a different edge to the player and have rebutted my opinion which is allowed.We as fans have every right to vent as every season apart from one we bottle it.last night was different as we played them off the park and were aggressive to a fault.
Gassamma also must be used as an impact sub as that's where he belongs at this time and last night he proved that -onwards and upwards --the other side of the city 's extra time luck will run out at some point in time
16 Feb 2026 13:44:14
Spot on, Deecee.
For a 10 million-pound striker, his goals record is terrible.
His record in the SPFL per game:
XXXXGXXXXXGXXGXXXXG
Turn some of those X's into G's and we might just have a Rangers striker on our hands.
16 Feb 2026 15:59:33
He has 7 goals in his first 19 league matches. Dessers (remember him) scored 8 in his first 19. He then went on to become our 25-goal-a-season striker, so even an experienced CF needed time. I know he has 5 in 2, but those count as well. :)
Add to that, I think Chermiti has better build-up and hold-up play, and we may find we have a better striker.
However, he won't be perfect and will miss chances like any striker. But for a 22 yo lad in his first starting role, no matter what the price is, he is close to how our top scorer was in the last 2 seasons in numbers.
16 Feb 2026 16:07:44
Fans were wrong, because he had proven, over a number of games, that he offered more than our other strikers. That is why he was playing ahead of Dani and Miovski. We don't know enough about Naderi yet to tell if he will be better.
You can believe he is not good enough in the long term, but his selection in those games was merited.
16 Feb 2026 16:47:48
Still only 21, Angus, not 22 for another few months, mate. Easily a better all-round player than Dessers.
16 Feb 2026 18:14:09
Don't think he can play the line striker role. He looks much better when there are two there, like yesterday.
16 Feb 2026 18:26:36
I was listening to a podcast earlier, and Chermiti actually has a surprisingly decent goal to minutes ratio in the league due to him having been used sparingly domestically for most of the season.
16 Feb 2026 11:38:23
Thought the atmosphere on the stadium was excellent yesterday, best I've experienced for a long time - although it was a bit weird not being able to celebrate.
Was really interesting watching how we set up in 3-4-3, especially seeing how varied the rotation is and how many different positions players take up during different phases.
Seeing it live it's understandable how we make so many silly mistakes at the back and also how we drop out of games for chunks of time.
However, with more time I genuinely think Rohl could create something pretty special.
Going to be interesting to see how we develop over the next 3-4 weeks as Rohl will have about 4 days a week with the team to work on it Vs the 1 day he currently gets.
16 Feb 2026 12:01:14
Thought it was fluid EHL, and the players, at times, were out of position. He has time to iron it out n fine tune it now.
16 Feb 2026 12:08:18
We played 4222, with two 10s behind the two strikers. Rohl said so. What are you talking about, 343?
16 Feb 2026 12:09:12
Delighted with the score and performance. However, 3 things annoyed me. Meghoma's slack pass for their first goal. The guy who crossed for their second was offside, and Olsen being booked for diving when it was a penalty.
16 Feb 2026 12:35:21
I think the fact that the crowd didn't seem to react negatively when we went behind both times seemed to help a little as well, especially for the first one, where we reacted positively and scored quickly.
Does your review mean that you are slightly more optimistic that 3 at the back can work for us?
16 Feb 2026 12:40:51
Ehl, what's your view on why we drop out of games? Think yesterday was our best performance of the season. For once, we stood up physically to the opposition.
16 Feb 2026 12:49:16
Whatsmyname, Meghoma wasn't playing. It was checked, and the guy wasn't offside, but I do agree with your third point. It may or may not have been a penalty, but it wasn't a dive and shouldn't have been a booking.
16 Feb 2026 12:57:57
Great to see the Subway loyal staying till the end. There's one every 5 mins anyway.
16 Feb 2026 12:59:46
What's my name, Meghoma did not play against Hearts.
16 Feb 2026 13:03:19
Whatsmyname, I can't see why Meghoma could annoy you when he was on the bench.
16 Feb 2026 13:08:05
Whatsmyname, very observant points from you there, especially the one about Meghoma for the first goal.
Most people would have been watching the game, but for you to notice someone on the bench making an error is something else. Well played, my boy.
16 Feb 2026 13:08:45
Whatsmyname, I haven't seen it back, but I'm pretty sure it was Fernandez with the slack pass, and the cross for the second came from Steinwender, who wasn't offside.
I heard mixed opinions on the dive, to be fair, but it didn't look like a dive from where I was sitting.
16 Feb 2026 13:12:26
Chenks, I think we're very good and very fluid when we have momentum or when the game is open. However, when sides get a bit of control of the ball, we look a little bit lost.
You could see players looking a little unsure of where to be or what the triggers should be to change.
It'll take time, but yesterday was the first time I could really see what we're working towards.
16 Feb 2026 13:32:22
Ehl, you may well be right about the extra time Danny has to work with the players. I cannot see any negative side to having the extra days' availability to coach the players.
16 Feb 2026 13:40:01
Did see Raskin splitting Souttar and Fernandez regularly yesterday, EHL. Same with Chermiti dropping deeper. Chermiti won the most duels yesterday. 14. Fluidity of the system will have more time to be worked on now, which is why I think we'll be much stronger next season. Heard it said about the Motherwell manager and Rohn: the Motherwell manager had a full pre-season, Rohn did not.
16 Feb 2026 14:10:04
Olsen initiated contact was the call, I think. As to whether that constitutes a dive is another question. Is you hitting the player and falling a dive or a foul? Looked a penalty in real time, though, so well spotted by the referee.
16 Feb 2026 14:11:39
I said all that up there. ⬆️ ⬆️
16 Feb 2026 15:05:28
It certainly wasn't a pen for Olsen. Blatant dive.
16 Feb 2026 15:06:48
Get a grip Amo5.An honest mistake
16 Feb 2026 15:45:53
Wasn't a pen, but wasn't a booking for diving as there was contact.
16 Feb 2026 16:05:07
The 4-2-2-2 seemed to work well. Lot of work for the two wing-backs, so I can only see Sterling getting 70 mins at most in this formation. Horses for courses though, and I expect it to change weekly under Danny Rohl.
Antman linking up with Rommens, with Moore further in, has looked our best attacking option in earlier games. I also think the one game a week will be huge for us in coming weeks.
16 Feb 2026 10:35:45
Morning Bears. Great result yesterday. Celtic's luck must run out soon. That's two games in a row when they have snatched a win deep into time added on. We have a real chance of winning the league now. We have only lost 2 league games all season. It's the draws that have cost us points. WATP.
16 Feb 2026 12:09:25
3 games, you're forgetting Dundee, or they'd have been out the cup.
16 Feb 2026 13:10:35
The thing with that is the 3 last-minute goals have come against Dundee, Livi & Killie, 3 of the bottom 4 teams, and games they should be running away with. I don't involve myself much in how they are getting on, but hopefully it continues after the split. :)
16 Feb 2026 13:45:40
Celtic will end up in 4th before the split. Motherwell will overtake them. We'll overtake Hearts.
Celtic and Hearts both have a difficult run into the split in comparison with our games. I genuinely think we could be 5 or 6 points clear by the split.
16 Feb 2026 14:11:33
Just to add to the point of two losses. Rangers have the least losses in their league in the UK, I'm sure I read. The problem is the draws from our time under Martin.
We hear all the time about if it wasn't for Nancy. Well, if we had appointed Rohl from the start it would have been different.
That, however, is all ifs and buts, the main thing is we stood up and showed we mean business. Onto Livi, then we can welcome that lot to a hostile and vocal Ibrox, hopefully it's the Cherminator that shows up that day and not Chernobyl.
One game at a time, lads, let's get behind the team every week!
16 Feb 2026 15:06:36
Hearts have the easiest run of all 3 teams to the split, and Celtic will not end up 4th.
16 Feb 2026 15:56:59
Motherwell don't have enough killer instinct to get above Celtic.
16 Feb 2026 16:06:44
Celtic won't end up 4th, you're spot on, Storm. They'll end up 5th. 😁
16 Feb 2026 16:13:12
I think Hearts have the best run to the split, to be fair. We will have the most difficult run after, with away games, so it's important we just keep clicking up 3 points every week and scoring plenty.
16 Feb 2026 16:21:13
Hearts will drop points to Killie and Motherwell.
Falkirk won't be easy for them either.
Celtic will drop points in their next 4 league games (Hibs, us, sheep away, Motherwell). They'll be clinging on for dear life come mid-April.
Motherwell could well storm their last few games to the split. Tough games against Hearts and Celtic, but the wheels are falling off both of them.
Aside from Celtic, we should be sweeping aside the opposition every game.
We've got the easiest run in, as we've done the hard work already.
Honestly, Celtic will be struggling come the split, and Motherwell are breathing right down their neck.
16 Feb 2026 17:39:34
FilipSebo, hard work is not done, bud, and we will continue to need hard work in every game to achieve anything come end of season, and no game will prove to be easy for us, imho. 🤔
16 Feb 2026 21:34:08
We've got 4 of the bottom 6 still to play in the 6 games leading up to the split. We've definitely got the more difficult fixtures out of the way, except Celtic.
I understand the point that there's no easy games, but I'd much rather be facing 4/6 games against lower-half opposition to strengthen us before a tough run after the split.
This might actually be the first time in a long time (potentially ever?) that the split will do its job of creating competitive mayhem in the lead-up to the league finale.
16 Feb 2026 10:23:58
I think what a lot of people forget is Chermiti's age.
At the same age the fabled Shankland couldn't buy a goal in the Scottish Championship and look where he ended up.
His strength and ability to hold up play and his athleticism are all showing up really well. Goals may well come and I hope for one he keeps developing with us as time moves on
16 Feb 2026 12:01:19
Goram, too many positives in his game for not seeing it. Maybe those that see nothing will at least trust the man that got us in this position. A couple said 'he starts, we take nothing' yesterday; tells me more about them.
16 Feb 2026 12:14:29
And his wages and transfer fees reflected where he was at that stage. I am not sure of your comparison. Let's just see if we get some consistency now.
16 Feb 2026 12:53:42
I'm full of praise for what Chermiti did yesterday, but let's be honest, it came right out of the blue. He has done nothing since the Celtic game, which also came right out of the blue. He's had two magnificent games since he joined us, and a couple of decent ones where his overall play was good.
I have criticised him because he has deserved it, but if he keeps yesterday's form up until the end of the season, I'll be more than happy to be proved wrong.
16 Feb 2026 13:13:44
To be fair to yourself, My star, you've always rated Chermiti and stated it many times on here, mate. 👍 I've always said he's talented but just needs to up his goals tally/ratio, and if he starts to do that regularly, we'll have a very talented, all round striker on our hands, who we'll eventually sell for big dough. 👍 🇬🇧
16 Feb 2026 13:43:49
Shankland posted up 60-odd goals in 2 seasons at Ayr. He was an absolute phenomenon in that league at the time. It's a wonder Ayr never actually went up either of those seasons.
I don't think the comparison is fair.
16 Feb 2026 14:24:05
You are correct, the comparison isn't fair. Shankland did score lots for Ayr, but by that time he was 22/23, and in one of those years he was in League 1. When he was 21 (the same age as Chermiti when he joined us), he scored 4 in the Championship in 32 games for Morton and St Mirren.
He had to drop down to League 1 with Ayr to start scoring regularly. Would Chermiti score goals at League 1 level? We will never know, as he would not do that; there are enough teams looking at him to prevent the need.

Two good games all season, and people think they have been proved right. 😬 Jesus wept. He needs to do it every game, or most games, not two games out of loads.
16 Feb 2026 16:58:53
Anyone that thinks Chermiti has only done it in a couple of games just don't even have any clue what they're even talking about. We missed his presence up top a few games ago. Some must only want goals and never see the work he puts in for the team. It happens very regularly with fans. It actually gets draining.

My point being is that he's very far from the finished article, and has the potential to go very far indeed.
Chermiti didn't decide on any of the transfer fees; all he can do is continue to improve.

Hi guys, would i be correct in saying that our 2 home games after the split will be Motherwell and Hibs, and away to Hearts, Falkirk and the mob from the east end?
Also I presume that our last fixture will be away from home?
First post, but I have been looking in at the conversations for almost a year, always some interesting posts.

Going to be an interesting post-split, to keep the title-winning game right til the last. Unless, of course, it's us v Celtic. They won't allow us to play a title decider at theirs on the last game of the season.
16 Feb 2026 10:07:30
That's correct, Big Ggr. 👍 🇬🇧
16 Feb 2026 10:27:04
I was wondering this myself. I'd put the mortgage on us being away and them being at home for the last match.
More interestingly, they both play Motherwell at home before the split, so does that mean they both have to go to Fir Park after the split?
16 Feb 2026 11:03:00
We'll be at home to Falkirk, Motherwell & Hibs, as we've still to play Falkirk away, which is the final game before the split.
16 Feb 2026 11:35:11
Will be away to one of Hibs, Motherwell, or Falkirk for a third time after the split. It's possible it's the sixth-place team for some kind of fairness, but I don't know if it's as exact as that.
We really could do with a couple of points in front before we go into it, but as long as it's in our own hands, we go for it.
16 Feb 2026 11:37:26
You are right. However, there is currently an imbalance of games post split if Falkirk claim 6th spot.
Only Hibs and them are due three games at home. So, someone is going to get an extra home game from Falkirk, Motherwell, Hearts and Us.
Odds are that it will be Falkirk v Us at Falkirk for the 3rd time, giving them an extra home game.
If Hearts or Rangers get an extra game at home, all hell will let loose at the East End with complaints of bias!
16 Feb 2026 11:54:33
Possibly Falkirk away, definitely Celtic and Hearts away.
Gees, don't think that would affect the game being played at Celtic Park, mate.
16 Feb 2026 12:56:05
Does anyone else think that Rangers, Hearts, and Falkirk at home, plus Motherwell and Hibs away, is a really difficult set of post-split fixtures for the other mob?
16 Feb 2026 12:58:11
DBB, I think you may well be right about the Falkirk game. As Falkirk is our last game before the split, you can only imagine that our last game will be away to Falkirk.
As the other mob will be home to us, Hearts, and Hibs, I can only see Hibs being their last game of the season. Definitely not Rangers, and I would doubt Hearts.
16 Feb 2026 13:08:23
If we had a 20th game at home, which would almost definitely be the Falkirk fixture, and if we won that game by 3 or 4 and pipped the league by either a point or 2, or even goal difference. Those to the east will be apoplectic with accusations of cheating, bias, favouritism or whatever you like.
16 Feb 2026 13:15:49
Home - Hibs, Motherwell.
Away - Falkirk, Celtic, Hearts.
It has to be between Motherwell & Falkirk for the extra home game, as they couldn't give it to us or Hearts, and have unfair bias for the title. My guess would be Falkirk getting it if they finish lower than Motherwell (which is pretty much guaranteed).
16 Feb 2026 13:16:00
Souness, we won't have 3 home games in the split, mate. It's 2 at home, i.e. Motherwell and Hibs, and 3 away, i.e. Hearts, Celtic and Falkirk. 🤔
16 Feb 2026 15:27:22
Was told yesterday Sky want Celtic at home last game of the season, and is away to Hearts.
16 Feb 2026 08:50:57
Just need to take a moment to acknowledge Mickey Moore. He was outstanding yesterday again. Always showing, always running, can see a pass, never gives up.
16 Feb 2026 11:57:31
Really like Moore's work off the ball. The boys have a great attitude and work hard for the team.
16 Feb 2026 12:02:28
If teams were genuinely in for him in January, offering more than we paid for him, that shows how well he has started at Rangers. Imagine what he will be worth if he kicks on now and grabs more big goals as the season goes on. The fans need to be getting behind this boy, not grumbling when he misses a chance.
I get the feeling this boy will feed off the confidence from the terraces, as will guys like Gassama, Antman and Moore, young players who need encouragement to get the best out of them.
16 Feb 2026 12:24:23
His attitude, coupled with his ability, will be the reason he goes to the top.
16 Feb 2026 18:54:40
I agree! We must know by now that tearing players down and abusing them isn't the answer. In no way can you lift someone up by putting the boot in.
