Rangers banter 10

13 Apr 2026 00:50:50
Hell of a result today much much better 2nd half il take 6-3 everyday o the week however i'm sure i'm not the only one that wishes we could put in the same effort and performances in our 1st halves as we seem to in the 2nd. I know Rohl would likely have said stuff at half time but too often this season we've had to improve more in a 2nd half instead of playing with that intensity right from the start.

Great to see Chermiti and Miovski banging in some goals hopefully will do their confidence the world o good. 2 week rest now hopefully get a couple more lads back fully fit for a difficult run in. Keep believing folks 😁.

13 Apr 2026 07:19:24
Agree, Mass, but it can be done in reverse as we played a worldy recently being 2-0 up against Celtic then assumed job done then drew game - attitude and concentration is key for 90 odd mins every game and every half (easy to say but hard to do) - the Chermiti and Miovski double act however could jump start us to title so long may they keep working and firing together.

🙏

I don't think the effort was lacking yesterday, it's just a lot harder to move the ball forward with pace and accuracy into the wind in a sticky pitch. Falkirk looked like world beaters in the first half and then got battered when they were playing into the wind.

It's always said it's the same for both teams, and that was shown yesterday in the two different halves.

13 Apr 2026 14:17:33
Like I said in the chat yesterday, the wind was helping Falkirk massively. The pitch was terrible, the ball bounces so differently, and sometimes it sticks, and other times it runs rapid.

Missed the second half, unfortunately, due to family outing but maybe for the best. If we are losing the next game at half time I'll head out again. 😂

Watching the highlites from today for the last 5 games gsssama needs to be on the left and antmsn or Olson the right although where does Moore play. I hope Rommens is back fit soon and we have a great chance

12 Apr 2026 22:30:31
I'm not Gassama's biggest fan, but he's been very good last two games and showing a better work rate and grit to his game that I think has been lacking at times. He does deserve a start on the left, I agree.

12 Apr 2026 22:31:13
Was thinking the same thing. For me, our left side best combinations are Rommens and Moore, or if Rommen is out, Meghoma and Gassama. On the right, it's Dujon and Skov, or Tav and Antman. It gives the right balance of pace, strength and running. Not sure if Moore is carrying a knock, but looked slightly off his best last couple games now.

12 Apr 2026 23:30:06
I like Skov, but I've seen nothing to suggest he should play. I'd play Antman on the right.

13 Apr 2026 06:18:32
The break should allow Moore to recover from a knock. Hopefully get Rommens back soon too. Just pray that this warm weather break gives players a boost and does not have opposite effect. Momentum is key in run-in. 🙏👍

12 Apr 2026 21:29:41
We have not one but two guys who have the ability to win games and score goals, Miovski and Antman

Not to see their potential and utilise their talent would be nothing short of a disgrace, Aasgaard, Olsen are weak and scared

Antman needs games right now, and Bojan is a great penalty area player, he is 20 times more aware and cute than Chermiti will ever be, we must play with him in the team if we want goals

12 Apr 2026 21:51:04
We must play Miovski and Chermiti, both can absolutely complement each other. Still unsure of Antman but very keen to play him before Olsen who is not currently playing at the standard expected within a Championship winning team.

12 Apr 2026 21:56:08
Bojan needs penalty box deliveries. Chermii is not that type of player, but he has pace and power - it's horses for courses.

12 Apr 2026 22:04:09
Hello Tom, good to hear from you pal.
It's magic being in with a great chance of winning the league at this stage of the season, isn't it. Big Chermiti will lead us to glory, maybe. 🤣

Did you win or lose a few quid on the Grand National?
Hee haw for me, just more losers.

13 Apr 2026 06:36:35
So good to hear from you, TT12 👍 🇬🇧. I honestly would play Chermiti and Miovski as a partnership for our last 5 cup finals mate, as they compliment each other, as both are different types of strikers. 🤔 Miovski is absolutely the more natural, penalty box striker, whereas Chermiti can play in behind Miovski or down the channels with his power and pace, and of course has the talent to score spectacular goals.

👌 Miovski knows where to be inside the box and will score those tap ins. 🤔 🇬🇧

Just wanted to float a perception I made during the match today. I think it was shortly after the second goal Falkirk had an attack and I don't know who it was but Fernandez was losing his mind at someone. I was thinking when I saw it that's what I want to see.

Reason I bring this up is I've seen folk say Rommens for captain but I think Fernandez could be a captain no bother. Speaks exceptionally well anytime he speaks, cool and calm operator who clearly has high standards and expectations. Would be that type of captain who leads by example. Might just persuade him to stay another season as well.

Completely left field suggestion but thought I'd gauge opinion on it lol

12 Apr 2026 21:30:12
A very interesting thought, Ayrshire. It's refreshing to see a young man with the confidence to impose his will on the game and inspire others. Dr mentioned the volume levels in the dressing room had changed, and I suspect Manny is contributing.



With Rommens on board, it's good to see we have more leaders on the field. I'm wondering if our new captain will arrive in the Summer intake though.

12 Apr 2026 21:31:37
I also saw this mentioned in the press about Manny.
Brilliant to see.
International footie is really helping him.

12 Apr 2026 21:59:27
Would rather he concentrated on continuing to develop his game. Maybe one for the future, but can still be too complacent at times. New player to be new captain.

12 Apr 2026 22:00:11
This weekend, 2 seasons ago, Manny Fernandez was a 22-year-old playing for Barnet against Maidenhead in the National League. In 2 seasons' time he could be in any top league. Amazing progress from him.

12 Apr 2026 22:17:32
He shouldn't be captain, too much pressure on him imo.

12 Apr 2026 22:34:27
*3 years ago, but still some going.

13 Apr 2026 00:17:06
He could maybe thrive in that pressure, a very level headed young man.

13 Apr 2026 06:34:01
Every player should be angry with those around them if they are not doing their job. No harm in it, but complacency and slow play across the back four just invites pressure, imho. We must move the ball faster, and at times nothing wrong with playing long balls to relieve pressure and allow our forwards to get in behind.

That's what opponents do to us regularly, and we see the chaos it can cause. Shipping early goals will kill us eventually, as we will not always come back like Sunday. The emotional Gers rollercoaster moves on and ticks another game off. 😉 🤔

14 Apr 2026 10:55:57
Ayrshire, he was having a serious go at Meghoma on more than one occasion. Also saw him give Raskin a verbal doing in first half.

12 Apr 2026 19:21:21
Best wishes for your op @ Jardine, I will be delivering to pharmacies over there next few weeks, will certainly look out for John Wayne, all the best mate

12 Apr 2026 21:01:12
Cheers Kai, I'll watch out for you. Reckon I'll be a good nutmeg opportunity at the walking football!

12 Apr 2026 19:20:08
In all fairness to the first half showing it was pretty obvious quite a few were not comfortable playing on that awful surface. Its almost a goal of a start to the home team who are used to the surface.

anyone know the deadline to get rid of those plastic pitches as they are not a good look for our game. DR changed things around player and tactics wise to accommodate the surface and boy did it work a treat.

12 Apr 2026 20:35:16
Deecee, I think it's by the start of next season.

12 Apr 2026 20:36:28
Though I've just read that Falkirk have an extension taking them to summer 2027 to get rid of it.

12 Apr 2026 20:52:36
One down with Livi at least. I think Killie will replace theirs in summer if they stay up.

12 Apr 2026 21:20:09
Thanks, Goram. Had not seen that on the extension. These pitches have no role in top level football.

12 Apr 2026 22:18:59
The pitch wasn't an issue today. We scored 6 on that pitch. Falkirk's Astro is one of the best going and I do want rid of them all, but stop blaming the pitch.

13 Apr 2026 00:13:23
Storm, the issue with the surface was that it impacted our team selection, and I'm sure that Sterling isn't the only player to be affected by this. Otherwise, no arguments with what you say.

13 Apr 2026 03:44:09
Storm, tell the manager that then.

13 Apr 2026 03:49:34
We did misjudge ball pace on the surface a few times, early doors, and passes were coming up short often when in key areas. I would say it definitely had a bearing on the way the first half went, as well as maybe's locally. The manager got it wrong, fixed it though, second half was strong.

13 Apr 2026 07:00:18
Plastic pitches are not ideal, but it's our play on this type of pitch which annoys - it's the same for both teams, so it's in our remit to adjust game/players/style to suit. Slow, cumbersome play gets punished as the park has an obvious zip to it - we need to realise this and understand this, as for final game it could be a league decider, so forward planning is key, imho.

👍

12 Apr 2026 19:18:15
Folks on the left wing, a firing Gasama or MM. For me MM needs a partner to work with like Rommens to create the width otherwise he tends to cut into a conjested area.

12 Apr 2026 20:35:29
I do like Moore, but I kinda feel he's become a bit of an over hyped player. He's one of those players everyone defends any sort of criticism, but I think he's one who has a standout performance, then disappears for 3/4 games, and then another standout.

He is younger than Gassama, but for me, I just enjoy watching Gassama more when he's at it, but the difference between Gassama at his best and at his worst is a much bigger variance than Moore at his best and his worst.



Both young players, so inconsistency comes as part of that youth.

12 Apr 2026 20:53:48
If Tottenham go down Moore will next season play in the Championship, I feel.

12 Apr 2026 21:50:57
Sorry, Ayreshire, but totally disagree. Gassama is never at it. Moore never hides and always wants the ball, not his fault that the other players are not on the same wavelength.
Just my personal opinion.

12 Apr 2026 22:19:33
Gassama is good to bring on as a sub that is all.

12 Apr 2026 22:33:32
Gassama better today, but Moore been better all season, and one of our top performers this season. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

13 Apr 2026 06:08:20
Both young, as many say, but at least we seem to have options with both. Let's hope they both have a big contribution to make before the end of the season, whoever starts.
