Rangers banter 6

14 Feb 2026 12:45:37
Rohl confirms he's sticking with chermissy. He has 28 appearances in all competitions with a goal scored every 1622 minutes. 4 total goals. He's on the pitch for an average of 84 minutes per game.

Findlay Curtis had 21 appearances in all competitions with a goal scored every 300 minutes. He's on the pitch for an average of 22 minutes per game. Who's better? Let's hope chermissy gets a hat trick v hearts. Then again, maybe I'll be invited to dinner with Kim Jong un. More chance of that happening

14 Feb 2026 14:09:49
So, you must be saying Chermiti has played 6648 minutes for Rangers then, Whine? Chermiti is a talented young footballer with plenty of ability.

14 Feb 2026 14:11:00
Decisions like these will see us fall completely short.

14 Feb 2026 14:45:03
Whine, I actually got offered a job by Kim Yong-Un.

I knocked it back, though. I didn't think it'd be a good Korea move. 😁

14 Feb 2026 14:47:07
Why would you want to go to dinner with Kim Jong Un? What's wrong with Charlize Theron?

14 Feb 2026 15:00:54
Chermiti is terrible. One of our worst ever strikers. Can't hit a barn door.

14 Feb 2026 15:57:41
Mystar, you say Chermiti is a talented young footballer with plenty of ability? It seems he needs to show that ability on a more regular basis, and turn that ability into goals, imho. 🤔 Or spend some time on the bench.

14 Feb 2026 16:00:05
Whine, when did Danny Rohl say he was sticking with Chermiti, mate? 🤔 Remember, Rohl pushed the boat out for his own striker signing in Ryan Naderi, so I would have thought he'd be his preferred no.1 striker, my friend. 🤔

14 Feb 2026 16:14:13
Charlize has a worse haircut than Kim Whatsmyname. 😉

14 Feb 2026 16:21:28
Chermiti has had one good game of football for Rangers. Let's get real here. It seems he is living off that Celtic game, and some people have bought it. If he is talented, then he is even better at hiding it.

14 Feb 2026 16:22:34
Star give it a rest for crying out loud, Chermiti is a talented footballer! Is he because you are saying it? Like you have with so many flops we have had.

Every metric that he should be judged upon (goals/assists) he is an awful footballer. I thought after the Celtic game he would kick on but he hasn't and keep in mind half his goals came in that one game so it makes for even worse reading.

It's fans like you (yes using the same tactic you employed with me) that will allow our club to continue winning nothing as you are willing to accept mediocrity and not push for better.

14 Feb 2026 16:25:20
Blue-Floyd, boy has plenty of ability.

14 Feb 2026 16:56:47
Coaches and scouts can see his ability, whereas your average fan sees nothing. That's the story.

14 Feb 2026 17:05:32
Bigbluejim, lol, man, awful tells me enough. Have a great night, mate.

14 Feb 2026 17:07:13
I don't doubt he has talent, My star, but he has to start scoring goals regularly for us, mate. 🤔 Like I said earlier, Danny Rohl pushed the boat out to get Ryan Naderi signed and he's his no.1 striker, as it's his signing. 🤔

14 Feb 2026 17:17:15
Wasn't looking at her hair, Fork.

14 Feb 2026 17:20:13
Get your coat, Athole.

14 Feb 2026 17:21:03
Big difference seeing them in a Rangers jersey though.

14 Feb 2026 17:26:55
Mystar, I'm not your average fan, I'm a former coach, and I see quite a lot of stuff. Could you please point me in the direction of this ability you seem to believe Chermiti has? This former coach sees precious little in what the boy brings to the team.

14 Feb 2026 17:55:38
Lol Wmn. 👍😄

14 Feb 2026 18:01:47
I have to agree with the general consensus here. The boy showed signs of improvement. I hoped he'd kick on, but, tbh, he leaves a lot to be desired in his goal-scoring prowess. He may come gd, but unless it's at Rangers, I fear he won't be here long.

14 Feb 2026 18:07:35
28 appearances, 4 goals. Enough said.

14 Feb 2026 18:45:03
And 1 goal was a total howler by the keeper. A striker who's never in the box to get on the end of crosses. A striker who can't make runs or link play.

14 Feb 2026 19:17:11
Thornton, Chermiti has very good feet, good at bringing others into play, very good control of the ball, good range of passing, plenty of positives in his game. I'm really struggling to understand how a coach doesn't see such things. 👍

14 Feb 2026 19:31:22
All these coaches, brilliant. 🤦‍♂️
You have the worst record on here for saying a player has talent when he hasn't, and that's 100% true. You had called more players talented on here, and 90% of them have flopped.

14 Feb 2026 19:45:50
Chermiti has improved since he signed, but in all honesty he could not get any worse. It's not his fault the price tag, but it is his fault his shooting is horrendous. Position sense for a striker is abysmal; he's scared to get in the box. I don't believe he is a natural striker in any shape or form. I do actually think he can play a part and has some qualities.

On occasions he's played well, linked up well, and does try, but he cannot be the main striker to score the goals to win us the league. It's simply not happening. He does not have a striker's instinct that is evident at us and his strike rate overall. I believe he would be best played deeper, with an actual striker in front of him to get the best out of him.

14 Feb 2026 20:06:26
And right there is why i cannot agree with mystar happy clappy player evaluations anymore there us a diff between optimism and lying to yourself.

Chermiti has done nothing to warrant fee or high praise if it was a scottiah player with same ability you would all be slaughtering him mystar included

14 Feb 2026 20:25:11
GJD, I'd play him deeper as well.

14 Feb 2026 20:41:34
1538 minutes for 28 games, a goal every 384 minutes. Your stats are incorrect, whine.

14 Feb 2026 23:25:37
Forever, nothing will ever surprise me with you.
happy clapper rips me up, only because you see nothing, surprised, 100% no.
Lying to myself fgs.😁😁😁

14 Feb 2026 23:41:00
The only thing I'll say is I can remember Dessers being judged on here as the worst Rangers striker ever. I'd say Chermiti has plenty about him, but ultimately our 9s are judged on how many goals they score. Apart from Dessers.

14 Feb 2026 23:41:13
There are two things I don't understand about all the Chermiti arguments.

The first one is that Chermiti earned his place in the team because he was offering more than our experienced and not cheap strikers, Dani and Miovski. He may not be what we want in a Rang.

14 Feb 2026 23:48:27
* Rangers' number nine has been part of the team that got us into contention. He has played his part.

The second thing is, why do players like Gasamma and Moore get away almost scot-free in the fans' view? They were both honking in the last game.

Moore isn't even our player, and he has probably done less than Chermiti over more games. He also cost potential development time for our own prospect.

15 Feb 2026 21:01:43
Whineonthewhine, how was your dinner today, mate.

14 Feb 2026 11:02:59
The DR have us down as having 'another chance' to sign Silas Anderson xD it's a wonder that rag is still in print

14 Feb 2026 11:13:39
Did you buy one?

14 Feb 2026 12:20:54
👏👏 Tjb.

15 Feb 2026 10:07:29
No, Tjb, it was on BBC 'Gossip' page citing Daily Record as the source.

15 Feb 2026 21:03:24
Trueblueger, I don't know which is worse, the Daily Record or the BBC.

14 Feb 2026 10:46:24
I was surprised at Danny Rohl's comment when he was asked about the team news ahead of the weekend.

He said "Yeah, what I learned the last time was to speak not too early about who is available. Still 48 hours. I can't give you an another update today."

Now I know he's a young manager still making his way in his career, and credit where it's due, he's basically admitting he made a mistake - he's very honest man.

My point is, why are some of more experienced backroom staff not guiding him prior to these pressers. I just feel it did help Motherwell, giving them a good insight into which players they would be facing.

14 Feb 2026 13:03:48
Why wouldn't he know this, Jim? It's a no brainer. Duh, I didn't know team news would assist my opponents. Love you, Rohl, but some Rangers fans will turn very quickly if we lose against Hearts. I, for one, am happy we are actually still in the fight after a horrendous start to the season. If we don't win the league, we lost it under Martin.

14 Feb 2026 13:35:35
I'd love us to offer Martindale a place in the back room team.

I think he's a very good manager and would be a good balance for Rohl's team, with a Scottish identity and plenty of experience to help Rohl.

14 Feb 2026 13:45:10
Did he name players who were injured and doubtful before the Motherwell game? If he did, I didn't hear it, and that's why I was surprised at the team. The only hint he gave was that Sterling wouldn't play two games in a week, but that's no big giveaway.

I'm more surprised when he plays one game a week nowadays. That didn't really affect the result, granted, Tav was poor, but we still had a clean sheet and were winning while he was on the field.

14 Feb 2026 14:37:09
I thought it was more of a dig at the media than a tactical point. I don't think anyone really knew anything at all about what formation or line up would be used on Wednesday.

It was a small point, but I think he would be better off not doing that.

There is no gain to be had in it for me. Overall, he has been excellent with the media and has probably done about 50 hours of media work in his short time here. It definitely isn't easy, and he has even managed not to mention sports science once.

14 Feb 2026 10:44:02
If and I say if we don't get a result tomorrow, please remember our very poor start under Martin and the near impossible task Rohl has had. He's been backed and I fully expect not to lose tomorrow.
Please stop the I wonder where Rohl will go next questions just now.

He's only just begun his adventure. Players may have signed for him. He's been backed with cash so he's not going anywhere in the short term. Good luck tomorrow.let's make our own luck.

14 Feb 2026 11:16:56
I'm backing Rohl. We were never going to win every game, and we are right now still in with a chance, albeit with the horrendous start to the season. We are running out of wiggle room, though. Lose tomorrow, and I think our chance just about slips away.

14 Feb 2026 11:48:34
I find this type of behaviour very strange too.

Danny Rohl has done absolutely nothing in the game as a head coach/manager. His longest winning streak for S Wednesday was 5 games. So far with us, he's been pumped out of Europe, got beat in the LC semi final to our biggest rivals, and has us 5 points behind Hearts, having dropped 4 points in the last 2 away league games. He couldn't even hold onto a 0-1 lead against 10 men.

Yip, elite manager material.

So, what exactly has he done in the game that has some on here slobbering all over him, and spouting some outlandish single fish, that he's destined to land a top job as head coach/manager in Germany? I'll tell you. Nada!

Some on here really need to calm down. Let's wait to see what he does this season before blowing your loads.

14 Feb 2026 11:55:33
You need to remember that them lot had Nancy for a short period as well then. 👍

14 Feb 2026 12:26:29
Let's get real. If we lose or even draw tomorrow, it's the beginning of the end for Rohl. They gambled on an inexperienced manager, and that was after the Martin debacle, and it's starting to show. We need experienced campaigners on and off the pitch, not experiments.

14 Feb 2026 13:07:29
Being % points back from Hearts and basically level with the Tims in mid February is not a lost cause. Yes, Sunshine, your stats are bang on, and if he fails, then he will have one more season to get it right. imo, whoever wins the cup wins the double.

14 Feb 2026 13:12:16
Aye, Storm, and some need to remember we had Russell Martin for a wee while.

14 Feb 2026 13:29:46
We really need to stop this meltdown every time we don't win. This mentality is ruining our club. Same as that lot over the city! Fans have to accept we won't win every game.

14 Feb 2026 13:34:38
Good seeing you posting, ss. You tell it like it is, mate. I do like Danny, but some go way over the top far too soon.

14 Feb 2026 13:36:46
U say 5 behind Hearts is a bad thing.

We were 14th, behaving m*** when he came in.

14 Feb 2026 13:52:51
I'm not claiming he is going to be an elite manager, but you have to take into account where we were and what he inherited when he took over when looking at the results. We were a long way behind Hearts and Celtic, so getting to within 5 points shows that he actually has a better record than both since he took over. Even in the last 6 games, where those two draws occurred, he has a better record than both. The LC semi final was lost due to us going down to 10 men, and even then we fought back to take it to extra time before the legs gave out, not his fault.

The explanation for the European results is dead simple: the players aren't good enough at that level, and to be fair he doesn't have the experience of the likes of Clement. I'm not saying he's not made mistakes, but I'm not sure anybody could have done any better with Martin's Misfits.

14 Feb 2026 14:21:03
Banxger, I know we are still right in this title fight, but is it a meltdown every time we lose a game, or is it history repeating, and 20 years' worth of hurt just boiling over for some? Some fans just feel they're watching the same movie we've been watching for over 20 years.

Now I'm not one of them, but I understand why some would feel that way, so should any Rangers fan, tbh.

14 Feb 2026 14:25:32
Let's be honest. The over-the-top comments aren't just about Danny; it was the same for Clement as soon as you lose a couple.
5 points behind Hearts is considerably closer than we were a few months back, and he's got us in a much better place, with at least a chance of the title.

14 Feb 2026 14:25:39
14th in a 12 team league Stevie, steady mate. 😉👍

14 Feb 2026 15:17:40
I agree it's too early to tell how Danny Rohl will progress.

But I am definitely giving him credit for the start he has made. He took a bunch of individuals, devoid of confidence, and turned them into the form team in the country.

Not one fan on here or anywhere else I have seen thought that was possible. I certainly did not.

We are now going into the next challenge for him, which is to dominate teams and score more goals. Only time will tell if he can do it.

14 Feb 2026 16:12:05
It's way too soon to be judging Rohl. He's trending in the right direction after taking over an absolute bin fire. Is he a league title-winning manager? With better recruitment in the summer, maybe. I can't see us winning the league this season. I think the last 4 points dropped will kill us. In saying that, it's been a crazy year and you never know.

14 Feb 2026 16:23:53
Foolmonty, I take it you didn't read the original post, as I was replying to that. 🤦‍♂️ Maybe read it, not to make yourself look silly, pal.

14 Feb 2026 16:33:41
Some on here could miss the point if they were staring directly at the pointy end of a needle.

Nobody is saying we're not in a better position under DR than we were under RM!
Nobody is saying 5 points behind Hearts is too much to claw back.
And, most of all, nobody is saying that 2nd place is worse than 14th place. What was that all about?!. 🤣

It's the way the usual ones on here go way OTT.
Yes, DR has done well, but the black and white of it is, he's still not achieved anything.



It was Spurs the other night. Now it's RB Leipzig. What next?

It's the same with the players! Our new LB is the second coming of A Numan! The big striker is the new German striking sensation! Chermiti scored 2 goals against the worst team in 40 years, and he's going to make us tens of millions in profit. The list is long.

We have been starved of success for so long that, as soon as we show any promise, some are on here proclaiming the second coming of R Madrid. Just settle down!

14 Feb 2026 17:07:33
Should've read 14 points behind, lads. Sorry.

14 Feb 2026 17:18:24
Wishers, yea, I agree with your post. Danny Rohl should be given the same time as Steven Gerrard got. IMO, I think he will turn out to be a good enough manager, and has a lot of respect in the game.

14 Feb 2026 18:32:09
Your reaction is just the same as those you're criticising, Sunshine. Over the top.

Danny Rohl has done better than "well". We were the worst team we've seen in 40 years when he came in. How he turned that group into a solid team is still beyond me.

No-one, including you, would have predicted that.

He has done an outstanding job so far. That gives him credit in the bank for me. I also don't think it's a big deal getting excited by new signings, it does not warrant your OTT reaction either.

14 Feb 2026 19:11:57
Ah, so stating facts is Ott?!. 🤣🤣🤣

It looks like the truth has had its usual triggering effect on here.

14 Feb 2026 20:11:19
Just because people give this honest assessment of Rohl's possible mistakes over certain games doesn't mean they are not backing the manager.

Don't know where this false narrative is coming from that fans are turning on the manager.



Don't think I've seen anyone here saying Rohl was not good enough or that he shouldn't be manager, just that he possibly got it wrong.

Surprise, surprise, he's human after all. 😜

14 Feb 2026 21:25:08
Beginning of the end. 🤣🤣 Is that supposed to be satire?

I don't disagree with the principle of Sunshine's posts; the delivery could be better, but I suppose we have all been saying that about Tavernier for a while.

The fact is, Danny Rohl has not won any trophies yet, but he has to be credited with placing us on a trajectory that at least brings us into the conversation.



Forever, I think you need to look harder, because Locher has not been the only one questioning whether Danny Rohl is the correct person for the job.

The OTT reaction to another match without defeat is frankly embarrassing.

15 Feb 2026 07:52:05
Some were saying that Clement was useless; he clearly isn't. The same folk are now doubting Rohl. He has broader shoulders than Clement, supporters in Germany are the same and will drop you in a few weeks. But he is a very, very good manager.

Personally, I would be content with the Scottish Cup and the Europa League this season, and with Hearts to win. Next season, though, he will be judged differently. I expect Rangers under Rohl to steamroller Celtic next season.

14 Feb 2026 09:22:40
Another big day for both men's and women's teams.

Both start today 6 points off the top, hopefully both ends the day a little closer.

Have a feeling we may be celebrating a double double this year.

14 Feb 2026 09:27:21
Sorry, weekend, not day.

14 Feb 2026 10:04:20
I got a feeling that if we don't win tomorrow, the boo brigade will be out, and the vultures will be circling Danny.

14 Feb 2026 10:22:41
Possibly a treble for the Ladies in the EHL; they are already in one cup final. The Ladies are in cup QF action this weekend, so hopefully one step closer to more silverware.

Careful with the positivity on here! But I'm with you!

14 Feb 2026 10:52:02
We shouldn't be booing or having a go at Danny Rohl and our team. Even if we do come up short this season, it's all doom and gloom, boom and bust with a few of our supporters, who should concentrate more on supporting the team and giving them full backing to hopefully get us over the line. Very fickle bunch, some of them. 🤔

14 Feb 2026 10:58:38
What would you say? You are right about the discontent with the fans and media if the result does not go well, as we have somehow got ourselves into a challenging position and failed to capitalise, so expect to hear and read things about lack of character, mental strength, etc.
Rohl, for me, as I've said before, has done a good job with what he has inherited, but I still feel it may be next season, with another window behind him, that he can hopefully field a team that he wants to challenge in all competitions.


Key areas still need to be strengthened in defence, with a ball-playing midfielder and in attacking areas.
There was a lot said about the team needing some older heads in January, yet that never happened. We could do with one or two experienced players who can make a difference when the pressure is on.

14 Feb 2026 11:22:03
Sorry, forgot to add that the biggest issue for me with the team is we don't keep the ball well enough.
And this is not just on the back of the other night; we haven't got that type of player or players with the range of passing that can hurt teams.
If we don't keep the ball, then we can't create.


When we play it out from the back, it tends to go either wide to a full back or to a centre half. We don't have a deep lying midfielder who demands the ball at that point, and we lose a lot of possession from those areas.

14 Feb 2026 11:57:13
He has done a good job as a whole, but no one should be booing them, as we don't expect to be in a title race after Martin. The only reason we are is because they brought Nancy in and never kept O'Neill full-time.

14 Feb 2026 12:04:55
Only five behind Hearts EHL.

14 Feb 2026 13:58:01
I don't know what Danny Rohl's input into recruitment was, or what the limitations were, but we missed a trick to fix some things in January, and it will probably cost us. We needed an experienced striker to get Chermiti out of the team, and we overpaid for an inexperienced kid, and we need another midfielder, preferably one with some attacking flair and a few goals.

We did neither, and so our main issue, lack of chance creation and goals, was not addressed. Sorry to say, I think this will be crucial when we look back on how the season goes from here.

14 Feb 2026 14:25:56
What a lot need to remember is that many fans do not believe the concept of following the team through thick and thin.

I blame social media for this.

14 Feb 2026 16:28:20
John, it's nothing to do with social media. It's always been like this for a long, long time, just easier to read it. Can you tell me who isn't supporting their team? Being unhappy about dropping points, etc., is not the same as not supporting the team.

14 Feb 2026 17:25:02
Stormtrooper, here, here.

14 Feb 2026 20:13:50
I think people will boo, and prob right to, after dropping points v Hibs, shaky v Killie, dropping points v Motherwell, then poss defeat to Hearts. Of course they will boo.

Still say he would be the right man to lead us into next season, though, regardless.

Let's just get behind the team and manager tomorrow.

14 Feb 2026 20:16:45
Agree with Storm.

Think it's more a fallout of 9-in-a-row; fans get used to winning, and when it goes the other way, for as long as it has for us, frustration is bound to show.

Very unfair to blame it on social media.

14 Feb 2026 21:00:56
Storm, it's my opinion. In the 60s, 70s and 80s, fans got behind the team much more.
The name-calling abuse of many of our players is embarrassing.

14 Feb 2026 21:47:24
100% John, in the 1970s and 1980s, often the team would go down one-nil and the fans would get galvanised when a Grieg, Forsyth or MacDonald put in a crunching tackle, which would gee up the fans who would get right behind the team.

My pals and I would often come away from a game, basically, saying
the fans won that match. There were also boos in those days too. But, on the whole, the fans were a much more positive influence on the team compared to now.

14 Feb 2026 03:21:05
If Rohl goes anywhere it would be back to Germany where his family are.

14 Feb 2026 09:16:51
Eventually, in a few years from now, our manager/head coach, Danny Rohl, will go on to be the RB Leipzig manager/head coach. 🤔 I, hand on heart, feel that's where he'll eventually go to manage. 🤔

14 Feb 2026 11:57:51
He may coops as long as he is successful. If he isn't, then he won't go there.

14 Feb 2026 17:28:01
McGregor's tears. Why would Danny Rohl move back to Germany? He has only just got to Rangers FC, where, in my opinion, he will / should stay for a few years. He is building a young team, hoping to do well in Europe.

14 Feb 2026 20:18:11
With how well Clement is doing, I think it's only a matter of when lower Prem and Championship teams come calling for Rohl.

13 Feb 2026 21:08:27
Good luck Steven Davis whos joined the coaching staff at Blackburn Rovers. Hope to see him 1 day at Ibrox

13 Feb 2026 23:13:42
Good luck to the Mena men (Ballymena, that is).

14 Feb 2026 10:45:04
Win: great. 👍
Draw: disaster. 🤯
Lose: catastrophe. 💀

No middle ground on here, either miserable or delirious. 😇

14 Feb 2026 11:21:21
Not like me to be in the wrong place. 🤯
Meant for up there. ⬆️

14 Feb 2026 14:42:32
Do the same, Fork.

14 Feb 2026 15:19:10
Is there a big shopping centre there?

13 Feb 2026 18:52:33
Don't want to see any sitting back with the slow side to side stuff on sunday, even if we're 2 or 3 goals up. We have to be at 'em for 90 minutes!

13 Feb 2026 20:04:00
Scotty, urs, I agree. We are not good enough on defence to safeguard a one-nil lead. We need to play with two up top and to push for at least a second goal. imo.

13 Feb 2026 20:35:43
I think defence is one of our strongest areas, if not the strongest, personally. We've only conceded 19 goals and are the hardest team in the league to beat. It's the opposite end where the issues are at the moment.

13 Feb 2026 21:01:33
Tav, Motherwell have a better defence than us, statistically.

13 Feb 2026 21:19:15
Yep, I never said they didn't. I said it's one of our strongest areas and that 'statistically' we are the hardest team in the league to beat.

13 Feb 2026 21:27:58
I said that the other day, we've conceded one goal more than Motherwell.

13 Feb 2026 22:07:52
That's not the point I was making, Fork. If it was, I would have said we have the best defence in the league.

13 Feb 2026 22:11:00
Rangers are 8 points better off than Motherwell and lost one game more than us.

Just saying.

14 Feb 2026 00:23:59
Tab, okay, let's put it another way. The defenders at Rangers FC can't be trusted to hang on to a one-goal lead against 10 men to a team sitting in fourth place in our league. Does that read better for you?

14 Feb 2026 06:12:05
Wasn't directed at you, but there u go.

14 Feb 2026 08:15:32
I fancy us 2-0 the morra against Hearts, fellow bears. 👍 🇬🇧 Naderi/Miovski anytime goalscorer along with Skov Olsen. 🙏

14 Feb 2026 08:53:50
Not really. It was unfortunate that it happened, but our defenders have done a pretty good job of late. We barely concede any goals, and that was the first time we've failed to keep a lead in the league since Rohl came in 18 games ago, during which we've only conceded 9 goals.

But, yes, none of them can ever be trusted, and we aren't good enough in defence. 👍

14 Feb 2026 09:02:12
Tav, I never said you did. 🤦‍♂️

14 Feb 2026 09:54:53
Okay, fair enough. I thought you were implying I said we had the best.

14 Feb 2026 11:59:10
I wasn't, mate. I was just putting a point across, that is all. 👌

14 Feb 2026 14:00:14
Motherwell have conceded a goal less, but it is from one less game played, so statistically there won't be much in it.

13 Feb 2026 14:27:30
Just looking for opinions here. If we lose to Hearts on Sunday, do posters on here think we are no longer in a title race/able to win the league?

13 Feb 2026 14:59:28
Never will I give up the league until mathematically impossible. Players should be of the same mindset.

13 Feb 2026 14:59:31
I wouldn't say it's impossible, but unlikely, as we are then having to rely on others.

13 Feb 2026 15:05:59
No, we wouldn't be out of it, but it would make things much more difficult, i.e. win every game from then on.
There will be further twists and turns, hopefully in our favour.

13 Feb 2026 15:16:41
imo Sunday is a "must win" game if we are to win this league, OrangeT. A draw wouldn't put us out of the race, but it would make it difficult to catch Hearts.

13 Feb 2026 15:25:09
We would definitely not be out of it, but 8 points behind with 11 games to go would be difficult to claw back. We really would need to win 10 out of our remaining games after that, which include beating Hearts after the split and beating them twice, and we might get away with a draw in one game.

And, of course, we'd need to rely upon others dropping points. A win on Saturday keeps it in our hands.

13 Feb 2026 15:28:18
Yeah, it will be a bye. Need to win for points and confidence for the team and support. Think we will win and win well if the right players start. After every game day, I can see changes to the table, so we can't give ourselves too much to climb.

13 Feb 2026 15:38:36
We need 3 points on Sunday. If it remains 5, it will be harder, but if it goes to 8, it then becomes very highly unlikely that we win the league.

13 Feb 2026 15:49:54
We never give up at Glasgow Rangers. 🥊 Simple as that for me, and we fight until the day is done. 🥊

13 Feb 2026 16:12:40
Unfortunately, it is looking like another failure of a season. We've seen this movie too many times.

13 Feb 2026 16:59:57
I think, if Hearts win, beating us again, you'd have to think they're more likely than us to take it.

13 Feb 2026 17:14:10
To be fair, as well as winning a few, we had to 'rely on others' to get us into the position we are.
All 3 (4 if you count 'Well') will drop points in the run-in. Hopefully, we are still in the race come the split.

13 Feb 2026 17:19:10
Kinda crucial to win.

13 Feb 2026 18:06:40
Let's be honest. We can all sit here and say we're Rangers, fight till the day is done, etc.
But, hand on heart, anything other than 3 points, the league is going across the city, unfortunately.


O'Neill hardly lost points as manager, so he's not giving us anything cheap. We need to win it ourselves, and not taking maximum points against our main rivals wins us hee haw.

13 Feb 2026 18:34:09
Why the defeatist attitude because we drew with Motherwell. 😲 Get behind the manager, Danny Rohl, and our team in our fight for the league and cup double. Honest to God, some are just not real. 👎

13 Feb 2026 18:34:27
J-zer, drew with Hearts, mate. Celtic got a poor record against Rangers, Hearts and Motherwell this season.

13 Feb 2026 19:36:54
If we lose on Sunday, then it is highly unlikely we win the title, as it would require our 2 main rivals to drop a good few points, and, when they play each other, we would require draws each time they meet, and I don't see that happening.

13 Feb 2026 20:53:04
Motherwell is arguably the hardest away game for all teams this season. A point wasn't ideal, especially given the sending off, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not a bad result. Never did I think we'd be in this position in September. It's not over until it's mathematically impossible.

14 Feb 2026 09:05:20
If we get beat on Sunday, the league is gone. That's not being defeatist, Coops, that's being realistic. It's a must win game because our manager made an arse of it the other night. He hasn't got much wrong, but he got that massively wrong. If the players we bring in can't play every couple of days, then what is the point in bringing them in when we are in a title challenge?
I think we will win on Sunday, but I have a nagging doubt in my mind.

This reminds me of when PC kept us in a title race, and we bottled it.

14 Feb 2026 10:54:11
If we draw, it will be far harder. Five points, with 33 remaining, could be achieved, but eight points is near impossible.
