Rangers Banter 2

17 Oct 2026 22:19:32
Hope it's not Business as Usual for the Rangers, flattering 3 or 4 results and then back to dropping unexpected points just at the point of putting pressure on at top of the league.


Dundee could and maybe should have went in a couple of goals up at half time. 2 great goals out of nothing got us in front, but we were never convincing against a hard working Dundee.

I feel that Fernandes is still a problem, I also would've kept Kelsy and Naderi together, why change it, big Naderi was ineffective without tj muscle man assisting him. On to next week to hopefully get back to winning ways.

Tonight was about the manager, and I say that as someone who thinks he's done a really good job so far.

Dan Neil put in as awful a 90 mins as I can ever remember from a Rangers midfielder. It was clear from about 10 mins in he wasn't right. Spent more time being visibly raging with himself than he did on the ball.

To let him complete 90 was a massive mistake. Everything he did was off tonight. Makes me worried about how the other cms are doing in training.

Both centrebacks were awful, although Fernandez was a level or two below awful.

Actually thought Maka was poor vs Killie, which is a concern.

Neil for me really doesn't suit Scottish football and offers very little in games of that ilk - which will be 80% of our games.

We need to play 3 in the middle of the park or 2 strikers - a ten just doesn't work.

EHL, i thought McInnes got his subs wrong and thought minsu playing further forward in the second half along with bouanni were our best players 🤔He shouldn't have taken minsu off and should have taken Gassama off instead 🤔.

To many players just swanning around , with not enough intensity, especially Fernandez ( decision making and ball pace to slow ) Dan Neil had a poor game besides the mistake ( should've been subbed ) . That lead up to the 2 nd goal was just poor poor poor.

These boys need to learn very quickly that they can't just turn up and walk over the so called lesser teams. They need to be switched on from the 1st whistle and stay on the ball till the final whistle. This league needs to be won, it won't be handed to them.

Bitterly disappointed.
Shocking first half, very good the second (barring Dan Neil falling over oxygen)

Derek makes the right adjustments at half time but I think his substitutions weren't necessarily correct.
I've mixed feelings because we really should've won but the footballing gods really didn't want us to win today, horrid luck and great saves.
Oh well, roll on next week I suppose.

What a wasted opportunity to go top again. Dundee deserved a draw I have to say and we just need to learn from this.

17 Oct 2026 22:07:46
Big mistake from the manager taking off our 2 best players on the night and leaving Gassama on. Thought we were really good 2nd half dan neil cost us the game. Were only 9 games in, long way to go.

17 Oct 2026 22:23:52
Me too bro , some lovely football and great credit to Dundee because they never gave up, we should have won but we move on ,

17 Oct 2026 21:57:48
Have to be honest but for me McInnes made a mistake taking minsu off as he was causing Dundee no end of problems in the second half. 🤔In fact our best 2 players were subbed off bouanni and minsu(second half) when he was playing further forward on the front foot. 🤔

Terrible error by Dan Neil for their equaliser, as i thought at that point we would go on to win the game. 😡Chance missed yet again when push comes to shove, so disappointed ☹️🇬🇧.

Curtis first sub again. He offers nothing i'm sorry.

17 Oct 2026 22:06:02
Subs baffle me the two players who were causing problems taken off.

17 Oct 2026 22:07:03
I think that might be a valuable point.

17 Oct 2026 22:14:11
Bouanani was done in but was the only player to show anything. It was a poor performance, especially in the first half, we weren't sharp enough, had very little forward drive, lost too many individual duels, and even the goalie looked a bit slack at times.

We played well for a quarter of a game which is just not good enough. We'll lose games in future if we don't learn to trap quickly and maintain momentum.

17 Oct 2026 22:35:10
Yes I agree SirWalter. The substitutions seemed to lose us any impetus we had gained. I was disappointed with the manager's choices at a critical stage in the game.

17 Oct 2026 22:53:09
Awg i can't remember us making a sub and it paying off. Its either too late or we substitute on an ineffective player and kill the momentum.

17 Oct 2026 23:15:56
Big dado. Miovski.

17 Oct 2026 23:28:44
Ibrox 👍 didnt think of that.
I dont think any other subs we can make from wings or midfield would be influential in winning the game. Got tougher games to come we cant be drawing these games.

17 Oct 2026 21:55:40
Poor first half manager is to blame for that. Should've still won that game. Dan Neil was poor tonight the full game and how many times does Gassama fall over his own feet. We need to get the ball forward faster as we're so better when we do this the slow passing about at the back needs to stop.

Fernandes slows the game down so much and invites the pressure onto our defence and causes pressure on the midfield as well raging we didn't win tonight.

17 Oct 2026 22:23:13
We're a much better attacking team when minsu gets close to the striker especially if it's one central striker up top and the second half he showed that, McInnes shouldn't have taken minsu kim off, Gassama should have been subbed instead 🤔 Great opportunity lost again 😡🇬🇧.

17 Oct 2026 22:36:52
Yes another opportunity missed yet again by us.
