Rangers banter 9

07 Mar 2026 17:50:46
See Chelsea did their huddle in centre circle again today against Wrexham but they were kicking off. If they do it again at start of second half every player could be booked as it's delaying kick off which is yellow card offence.

07 Mar 2026 17:32:37
Well fellow bears looking forward to going to Ibrox as per usual the morra and securing the win that i do fancy us to get 🤔🇬🇧I hope Danny goes with either the 4-2-2-2 or 4-3-1-2 formation against them and i believe these systems more than capable of getting us the win over them 🥊🇬🇧

07 Mar 2026 19:29:07
Was the first formation the one we played last week?
If it is, I doubt he will go in like that again after the second half when we were exposed and overran.
Could be the second formation, and possibly a five at the back, with Tav and Rommens to push higher up.


I would like to see two or three changes from last week.
Either Sterling or Djiga should come into the centre-back position to cover their pace, and hopefully be better at the back.
If we line up with the same defensive centre-backs, then I'm not confident.

07 Mar 2026 21:11:10
I think it goes to pens tomorrow, so it's 50/50. I have a bad feeling about tomorrow, hope I'm wrong.

08 Mar 2026 02:04:02
Courage and belief will be just as important as the way the team is set out. As all top managers used to say, win your individual battles first and then win the game.

07 Mar 2026 13:42:26
Just for a bit of fun, I'm not calling for DRs head in any way, but.

IF we finish the season with no trophies and 3rd in the league, and considering the money we'll have available to spend, would you;

1. Re-appoint Phil Clement
2. Re-appoint Gio
3. Re-appoint SG
4. Appoint Other
5. Keep DR

Assume 1. and 2. were options.

Ed's could we have poll please?

Thank you.

Rangers manager poll

07 Mar 2026 14:50:36
Rohl keeps his job, but his coat is on a very shoogly peg. 2nd place is bad enough, but 3rd is a disaster. Only because of the mess we were in after Martin, does he get credit in the bank.

07 Mar 2026 14:54:20
Keeps his job no matter what, but finishing 3rd would put a fair bit of pressure on for next year.

07 Mar 2026 14:58:33
Appoint JBA unless Rohl wins the league.

Even if he comes 2nd with a cup - I know that's a tough one.

I just think JBA had a style of play which would virtually guarantee multiple league titles.

07 Mar 2026 15:06:47
Zikos, my friend, there's absolutely no chance that Jens Berthel Askou will be replacing Danny Rohl as our next manager, and it never will happen. Firstly, in Danny Rohl we trust, and secondly, imo Askou will be the new Celtic manager this summer, which, of course, would rule him out of ever being Rangers manager, mate. 🤔

07 Mar 2026 15:12:53
We have to remember Danny took over from a mess at the start of the season. If we had Danny from the start, I think we would have been first in the league.

07 Mar 2026 15:17:28
Coops, I'm not so sure about that, mate.

Apparently it's going to be Martinez from Portugal.

Also linked with Robbie Keane.

I think he'll be on their list, but maybe 3/4/5 choice.

07 Mar 2026 15:48:02
I would appoint the Motherwell manager.

07 Mar 2026 15:50:31
Stevie, we know you can't go with bookies but he is fav with them for Celtic job. I don't think it will be Martinez. In fact, I'll go and say it won't be him. I'm sure he is in for another job but can't remember who.

Coops, the post is asking for opinions etc, so Zikos is well within his rights to say who he wants.

07 Mar 2026 15:56:59
RFC 55 - I tend to agree. Saying that if Derek McInnes had been installed as our manager at the start of the season, I reckon we would be top of the league too.

07 Mar 2026 15:59:06
Has anyone on here changed their minds about McInnes? He was a real talking point at one time on here. Most people were dead against him, but you must hand it to him and Motherwell's manager for that matter.

07 Mar 2026 17:17:09
If we had kept Clement, and gave him the same backing, we could very well be top.

07 Mar 2026 16:12:14
Only been in 4/5 months and got us in a position to win the league. Needs a couple of windows, still learning on the job.

07 Mar 2026 16:14:56
Clement, right now, would be a different story, Slim Jim, a man doing jobs he never signed up for.

07 Mar 2026 16:44:07
Interesting. More than two thirds of those that voted would keep DR. for at least next season.

That's heartening. I would say he needs at least next season.

Surprised so few voted for PC considering the job he's doing at Norwich.

07 Mar 2026 16:57:34
People saying about Celtic and Motherwell still need to play Hearts. Are they seeing the score with Dundee v Motherwell today? I wonder if they still hold hopes that Motherwell will do anything vs either of them.



As soon as you look to others to do you favours, I think it's pretty much gubbed. I think we will need to win every game from now to the end of the season, and I don't know if this group is strong enough yet to do that.

07 Mar 2026 16:58:31
I really like Big Phil.

The last board threw him under the bus with the chaos he had to contend with, and the players turned on him.

07 Mar 2026 17:11:34
Gio all the way. He got us to a European Final, then had hardly any backing before losing his defence. Remember Sands and King? He then got the rat treatment.

07 Mar 2026 17:13:52
Meant to say keep Danny, but if not, would have been Gio.

07 Mar 2026 17:34:32
Gio was a terrible manager domestically. He was backed with decent money, but once he started to break up Gerrard's side the football went from bad to worse. While you might argue whether he was doing the signings, the players he brought in were terrible, and we have had to suffer them for years.

Guys like Davies and Matondo have hung about like a bad smell, costing us huge money in wages while doing nothing for it. Remember, too, the reason he was left with King and Sands was because he freed Balogun a season too early.

07 Mar 2026 17:35:03
Lol. Why would we reappoint Clement?

07 Mar 2026 17:36:37
Storm, so you would prefer to appoint Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou instead of having Danny Rohl as our head coach. 🤔

07 Mar 2026 17:50:14
P.S. Keep Rohl. Excited to see what dr can do with a full pre-season and a few top class additions.

07 Mar 2026 18:14:56
I remember people on here saying Gerrard was helped to league success by the fact that there were no crowds to get on their backs. Can you imagine being 23 points clear with a full house at Ibrox? It would have been amazing.

07 Mar 2026 18:19:26
Coops, the post says just a bit of fun, so yes I would take the Motherwell manager in a heartbeat. But I think he will be at Celtic and, if not there, maybe somewhere like Brighton.

07 Mar 2026 18:24:27
I think w need to hang fire on Askou in terms of judging, he's had a phenomenal season, let's see how he does next year.

07 Mar 2026 18:49:00
Being serious, Storm, I'd prefer us to keep Danny Rohl over Jens Berthel Askou all day long, mate. 👍 I think Rohl, given time, will do a very good job as our head coach, and remember Askou is the manager of a club where there's absolutely no pressure as opposed to the pressure Rohl has as Rangers head coach. 🤔

07 Mar 2026 18:51:50
Absolutely spot on, Gers 70. 👍 He's in a very no pressure job at Motherwell, where expectations are very minimal, and there is a planet of a distance between the pressure of being Motherwell head coach and being the Glasgow Rangers head coach. 🤔

07 Mar 2026 20:02:01
Forever, I'm one who said Motherwell will have possibly the biggest say in who wins the league, but I'm not looking for favours from them. There are 9 games left, and they have 5 against us, Hearts, and Celtic. They are also fighting to be as high up the table as possible, and have been rightly lauded by many as playing the best football in the league, so it's not outrageous for them to get some results in the run-in.

As more than half their games are against the top 3, it's a no-brainer they could have a major say.

07 Mar 2026 20:19:13
Baz, I think if Jens stays in Scotland next season, he wins the league at a canter.

07 Mar 2026 21:12:38
Coops, you are entitled to that opinion. I have a strange feeling that, by the end of next season, Rohl will not be our manager, and I really hope I am wrong, as I have nothing against him.

07 Mar 2026 22:27:37
Storm, I get the feeling that if the fans turn on Rohl he would walk away.

07 Mar 2026 12:13:01
I am not saying it's true I am just asking the question as it happened with PC, GIO and Beale.

Rohl come in got good run of form right away in the league and near the end it's starting to spiral it is actually mirroring PC when he 1st come in. Do you think it's going to end the same way? And he won't make it through the next season or do you think he will be successful?

He could also still be very successful this season with a double, but that's maybe wishful thinking from me for a change.

07 Mar 2026 12:48:32
Interesting post, Storm. It's all about trophies down Govan way. No trophies and the fans turn, as we have seen so many times. Stevie G got us a title at his 3rd attempt, and under special circumstances. He kept his job because of his name. I think look no further than Gio VanB.

Europa final and plums, then gone. So, jury is out on Dr here, as failure after doing the hard work may work against him. I hope he lands a double, as changing managers is a bummer when repeated every year. I feel we have a squad capable of a trophy haul.

07 Mar 2026 12:59:16
He has to be kept another year at least.

07 Mar 2026 13:03:49
I think most agreed on here at the time, Deecee, that Gio should have been backed and given more time. 🤔🇬🇧

07 Mar 2026 13:08:35
I see enough shoots of recovery after the Martin debacle to think Rohl will get it right.
He's possibly made a rod for his own back by getting us right back into a title race that looked dead and buried under Martin.
And I don't think Celtic's standards dropping has helped either, as we have a chance to win a title thanks to the poor performance of our biggest rivals.
Remember, 99% of us slated the same players at the start of the season that we now expect to go on and win a title.

So Rohl should get some leeway for getting a tune out of them.
Throw in Hearts being more consistent than Aberdeen were a couple of seasons ago.
When judging Rohl, all these parameters need to be taken into account.
That said, I think we will all be gutted and ask questions if this team and Rohl don't take the title fight to the wire.

07 Mar 2026 13:19:09
There will be players brought in during the summer, with players going out, so that should mean it will be more or less his signings for next season.
If it's not going well, especially in the league, by, let's say, September, then, like most Rangers managers, his position will be under threat.
I also think that he will be well aware of that.

07 Mar 2026 13:29:46
Sadly, I think the pressure has got to the manager and players this season. I wouldn't get rid of him. I'd give him a summer, and, with money to spend that PC didn't get, time to implement his plans, and hopefully next season will be different.

07 Mar 2026 13:33:11
Think it's accepted that Danny took us over and has improved our fortunes pretty dramatically from the RM days. Add to that, the club is in a more stable state, both in operations and finances, so we should be optimistic for next season.

The caveat is that nothing is guaranteed, and if we get knocked out of the cup this weekend, certain sections of the fan base are likely to lose their proverbial and start to question Danny's appointment.

07 Mar 2026 13:34:36
Gio was back to the best the club could offer. His league form was brutal. Horrific to watch. His European football kept him in the job as long as he did, imo.

07 Mar 2026 13:41:26
I didn't want Gio to stay; he was woeful.
I think we now know we missed the boat with Derek McCain. We should've brought him in after Gio or after Beale.

Paul Clement was a very good manager, but too stubborn in his formation, refusing to change when we all could see what he should've done.



I really like Rohl. I think he can be successful here, yes.

With a full preseason, and some more new players in the summer while moving others on, as well as current new signings bedding in even more, I think we're going to be some outfit next season. I back him all the way.

07 Mar 2026 13:43:01
There was a lot that went on behind the scenes that contributed to that collapse during Clement's title challenge, and then there was a lack of support during the summer, both financially and in other roles. I don't think any of this will be true for Danny Rohl, so no matter what happens he has to get a couple of windows to get rid of the dead wood that he's having to use, but that we can all see are not Rangers players.

The players he has signed and been linked with seem to indicate that we are prepared to go after a better standard of player now.

07 Mar 2026 13:48:51
Coops, I don't think that is true whatsoever. At the time, the majority, and I mean a massive majority, wanted to get rid of Gio. Maybe some have changed in hindsight.

Good debate, guys, thanks for the replies.


I believe he should get next season as well, and we all know that can change quickly, but I do think he needs the Scottish Cup at least this season.

It's the hope that kills us all.

07 Mar 2026 13:56:01
Most fans wrote the season off after the position we were in, but because Danny Rohl's been able to get us into the fight, he's shown he can lead and needs backed over the next 2 windows to realistically judge him imho.

07 Mar 2026 13:59:02
Rohl is putting something together. Man has only been the manager 4/5 months. His first preseason at Rangers will make a difference, so will the players he brings in. So we need a number six that can control the game, hopefully he arrives in the summer window.

07 Mar 2026 14:20:05
It's hard to imagine both Glasgow clubs finishing trophyless, but whoever wins Sunday will be strong favourites for the cup.

07 Mar 2026 14:23:59
Let's be serious and honest here. Our club could have hired my 7 year old daughter after the Martin debacle and there would have been clear shoots of recovery. If we are using a useless tool like Martin as a benchmark, then the game is a bogey.

I know this won't go down well, but I'm not here to make friends and influence people. Danny Rohl, at this time, does not have what is needed to be a success, and it is glaringly obvious. The cracks are appearing as his naivety and lack of experience start to reveal themselves at the business end of the season.



Let's be honest here. If the Tims had kept O'Neil instead of bringing in Nancy, then there would have been clear daylight between us and them. Anyone who thinks differently is kidding themselves. The Tims played a major part in allowing us back in it. This probably gave Danny Rohl a false sense of security.

Oh, and by the way. Even under O'Neil, the Tims are dire, but Danny Rohl is still to win a game against them while he's been in charge. That must change, and soon!

07 Mar 2026 14:26:39
You said the exact same things about Clement (who is a better manager than Danny Rohl), and Beale, Mystar. How did that end for both?

07 Mar 2026 14:30:03
He was in charge at the midden.

07 Mar 2026 14:34:48
Eh? Are you sure about that?

07 Mar 2026 14:37:24
So just sack him and start again, Sunshine, lol. Man, by the way, didn't his side win 1-3 at Celtic Park? Rohl gets preseason and a couple of windows. This ripping it up is bonkers again; the next appointment doesn't win a trophy and it just repeats itself, with us winning a cup here and there.

07 Mar 2026 14:42:28
Who said "sack" him? Is your ire making you see things that are not there?

07 Mar 2026 14:46:54
I think both posters need to read my post again regarding Rohl vs O'Neill while the latter has been in charge of the Tims.

I'll put it down to your ire distorting what's written in front of you.

To clarify, Rohl is still to register a victory against the Tims while O'Neil has been in charge. Better?

07 Mar 2026 14:48:53
Sunshine, well, what are you looking for then?
You just said he doesn't have what is needed right now. That sounds like 'show him the door'.

07 Mar 2026 14:53:34
You conveniently left out the part I said "at this time", didn't you, Mystar?! It didn't fit your narrative?

07 Mar 2026 14:54:11
Fair enough, Sunshine. I did read it again. Look at it another way: in Rohl's three games against them, his side has never lost in 90 minutes. Rohl needs preseason. Hopefully we see a fitter squad next season.

07 Mar 2026 15:00:45
Ok, I'll bite, who was in charge then?

07 Mar 2026 15:00:46
Cool, Sunshine. So, at this time he isn't good enough. How long is he getting to become good enough? He is inexperienced. He will only learn.

07 Mar 2026 15:01:10
Ah, you're back to the old "not losing in 90 minutes" argument. C'mon, mate, you know how that went the last time you tried using that?

07 Mar 2026 15:03:51
You don't need to bite, just read the post right this time. It's not rocket science.

07 Mar 2026 15:06:58
O'Neil, you mean n. It was Nancy. 😳 Oops. 👍

07 Mar 2026 15:08:51
He should get as long as Gerrard got.

As much as Sunday was a sickener, we had them on toast in the 1st half, and only Rohl's naivety cost us. He can change this, and get back on track. He must learn fast, though!

07 Mar 2026 15:10:18
Correct, Sunshine. If you win the game in extra time or on penalties, it means the game ended in a draw after 90 minutes.

07 Mar 2026 15:17:18
There you go, mate. I've done it plenty of times myself on here, no big deal, Forky.

07 Mar 2026 15:19:47
It's like I've gone back in time. The last time you tried spouting the 90 minute mince, Mystar, you had to apologise on here once you came to your senses. Do we really need to go down that road again?

07 Mar 2026 15:20:07
Sunshine, hopefully he will learn fast. I did think you wanted him out. Apologies for that.

07 Mar 2026 15:20:22
Absolutely. For me, Danny Rohl should get next season as our head coach, to bring in more of his own players and to sell certain players if we're offered fees that are acceptable to us for them. 🤔 My star, would you want us to sell Nico Raskin and Dio for the correct fee, mate? 🤔 I would, and that would allow Danny Rohl to go out and purchase a no.6 playmaker to control games for us.

🙏 I still think Connor Barron will very much be part of our first-team squad, as he offers different attributes to our midfield, and has the work ethic and energy levels, with a superb engine that we don't currently have at Rangers. 🤔

07 Mar 2026 15:27:41
You never need to apologise, mate!

07 Mar 2026 15:33:55
Apologise? Sunshine, if you win a tie in extra time or penalties, that only means the game ended in a draw, mate.

07 Mar 2026 15:36:28
Maybe apologised about the way I put it over, but not what I meant.

07 Mar 2026 15:37:23
Oh dear!

07 Mar 2026 15:45:10
I think we will be targeting better players than we have been, Strom, but your point is a good one, and no doubt in my mind that what you suggest would happen if we were still targeting /signing players like Lammers and Cifuentes.

07 Mar 2026 15:48:50
Sunshine, that's a simple fact, mate. If winning a tie in extra time or penalties is only because the game ended in a draw, unless it was over two legs, one leg, that's the way it is.

07 Mar 2026 15:57:26
Sorry, Mystar, but what does that even mean, mate? It doesn't mean the game ended in a draw; it means it was won in penalties or extra time. If, by your logic, the result was a draw, then we must not have got knocked out.

It's a cup tie, Mystar, it's impossible for it to end a draw. The reason for extra time and penalties is so it won't end in a draw.

07 Mar 2026 15:58:01
If your opponents win in extra time or pens, it means you have lost the game. 😬 Jesus wept, it's not even hard to understand. So Rohl has been beaten by Celtic this season, no matter how you want to dress it up; it was a cup game played to a finish, so you can't draw that game.

We got beat.


I agree, SS, if they didn't bring Nancy in, we wouldn't have been in a title race. They would be so far in front, and would probably have had a trophy in the cabinet already as well, but remember they are a worse bang average team than our bang average team. 😂

07 Mar 2026 16:02:40
No, Boy Blue, if the tie is won in extra time or penalties, the game ended in a draw after 90 minutes.

07 Mar 2026 16:05:36
Obviously, you go through winning the tie.

07 Mar 2026 16:31:44
Guys, you need to stop replying to the posts if they don't make sense. It's not opinion, but meant to antagonise.

07 Mar 2026 17:06:47
Think, at the very least, you need to be looking to beat Celtic with home advantage and go on to lift the cup, otherwise the season is a failure for Rohl.

However, that said, I'd still back him to take us forward next season, but we must, no, absolutely must get rid of the dead weight from the squad, which is still substantial.

Matondo, Bajrami, Aasgaard, Aarons, Djiga, Cornelius, Rice, Antman, Tav, Meghoma, Sterling (injuries?), Ecen, Diomande, who are just not doing it nearly enough.



I get a few of them are not dead wood, but put in there for being past it or loans that I don't think will be permanent. Even if we bring in 5-6 players that are useful, it will improve us next year.

Could maybe add Miovski to that if not going to be used anyway.

Also need to see Naderi start getting in amongst the goals.

07 Mar 2026 17:45:26
Guys, let's get behind Rohl and our team, back them to the hilt, and see where we are at the end of the season. 🤔 Then we go again next season with Danny Rohl at the helm, given time to sign new players, and continue to build his own team. 🥊🇬🇧 Let's support. 🥊🇬🇧

07 Mar 2026 18:31:39
So, extra time and penalties aren't part of the game, Mystar? A semi-final can't end at 90 minutes, so it didn't end as a draw; it's played till someone wins. Come on, Mystar, you're being silly, mate.

07 Mar 2026 19:00:18
Danny Rohl is still a very young, inexperienced coach who's only at the start of his career in football management. 🤔 Of course he's made mistakes, and will undoubtedly make more, but it's about gaining experience, and how he learns from his mistakes will dictate how good a head coach he becomes.

🤔 Even the best managers/head coaches make mistakes, for God's sake. 🤔 Sir Alex, Pep, Klopp, Mourinho, etc. have all made mistakes. 🤔 What makes a very good career in management is keeping the mistakes to a minimum. 🤔

07 Mar 2026 20:05:43
Going back to the first posts, I'm just pleased to see you being positive, Storm. I like it. 🤣

07 Mar 2026 21:14:22
I am sometimes Baz.


Bb4, it's pointless, mate.

08 Mar 2026 04:20:34
Boy Blue, quite simple, mate, the game wouldn't be won in extra time or penalties if it never ended in a draw. This does give me a laugh every time.

08 Mar 2026 04:22:16
That doesn't surprise me with you, Rosevale, as in making any sense to you.

08 Mar 2026 08:28:06
Absolute mince. It's one game, inclusive of extra time and pens if required. Game/match rules state "the game/match must be played till conclusion." "The game/match" are the operative words, meaning "till conclusion." A 90 mins result is a bookies thing, not a game/match played "till conclusion" under the game/match rules of the competition.

07 Mar 2026 12:03:38
{Ed's Note - EHL2020 has posted a new article entitled, How Data-Led Recruitment Is Shaping Scottish Football

07 Mar 2026 13:47:14
Ehl, this is our problem in a nutshell. Players can look excellent on paper, but until they get here, they have no idea of the scrutiny, etc., they'll be under.

I assume when players are identified using analytics, somebody will actually spend a few months physically watching their performances prior to making a move for them.

I know this used to be the case, but with us signing so many players recently that regular posters who usually have a handle on signings, etc., know nothing about and have heard nothing, it makes you wonder if they're being identified then just signed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

07 Mar 2026 13:52:34
Well written and insightful article, Ehl. You, Jamestown, linked to Tony Bloom. It's maybe me being completely wrong, as I am on many occasions. Does he not part own it? Or own it outright?

07 Mar 2026 13:52:40
Very good post, Ehl, and I wanted to know how long, typically, would Rangers watch a player after he'd been identified by the analytics.

07 Mar 2026 13:59:59
Ows, usually 6-18 months.

07 Mar 2026 08:19:11
Are we in a better place being the hunter in the run in instead of the hunted? Is our squad in a better place compared to Hearts n Celtic? Will Motherwell have a say and catch either one of us as they chase Europe, side note watched Falkirk last night, could be the spanner in the works?

07 Mar 2026 10:37:08
Fork, I think we are in a better place in terms of being the hunter, although, to use a hunting analogy, it appears we get last-minute nerves as a pack when we have the chance to make the kill.

07 Mar 2026 10:46:29
Fork, I was at the Falkirk game, mate. Decent outfit. Hopefully I'll be at the Bo'ness United game today, unless other orders are handed out, lol. They are playing Celtic B team.

07 Mar 2026 11:09:30
It's as if there's a block at putting teams away, rather sit than ho all out.
Agreed, Star, they were not too bad at all.

07 Mar 2026 11:47:39
I don't think this squad has the mental resilience to be where Hearts have been over the last few months. I've no doubt they would have collapsed under the pressure.

At this point in time, we're better being the hunter. Even then, you've seen 4 draws in the last 6 league games. We need a few strong personalities in over the summer.

07 Mar 2026 11:52:32
Correct, MVG, need a gd few to go too, I think.

07 Mar 2026 12:03:04
It's a mental thing with our players, Fork. I don't think it matters if we're the hunter or being hunted; they bottle it in every position when the going gets tough. It's been like that since 55. We had no pressure during 55.

I really hope they are up for the fight tomorrow, as they owe it to the fans.

07 Mar 2026 12:08:09
When was the last time we topped the league? (The Hunted).

07 Mar 2026 13:04:00
We were 2nd, so hunted by Celtic and Motherwell at one point. Stop being deliberately pedantic; it was a question for discussion. And now we're hunting Celtic n Hearts. It's not that hard to work out.

07 Mar 2026 13:09:29
To be fair, I'd rather be in Hearts' position with the points on the board.

07 Mar 2026 13:44:04
I'd rather be 6 points or more clear.

07 Mar 2026 13:53:43
Mph, I think any fan of any club would agree with that.

07 Mar 2026 15:24:16
Absolutely, Mph and Storm, I'd be gobsmacked if any of our supporters wouldn't prefer to be in Hearts' current position in the league. 😲 🇬🇧

07 Mar 2026 15:55:07
Unfortunately, we have a few players who need to be offloaded, which won't be easy unless we are willing to accept lesser offers.
I also hope we are inundated with offers for our valuable players. Losing one or two, for decent market value, is beneficial if it allows us to add to the squad (players Dr sees as suited to his playing style).


I'm still confident this season, but I believe next season will be much more enjoyable and successful.
Let's see the other mob off tomorrow, and get some momentum for the title run in.

07 Mar 2026 20:09:21
Getting a couple in front and trying to protect the zero is a very European coach thing. Gio did it, PC tried it. Just needs a bit stronger defensive midfield and CBs.

06 Mar 2026 18:42:10
Did anyone else read the KMI panel review on all 10 big VAR incidents over the last few games. All seemed to be ok, except for the offside VAR video of Celtics winning goal that wasn't mentioned or even included in the reviews. This incident was forgotten about and even though the lines were not shown during or after the match, which they should have been, nothing will be said on the matter.

Am I paranoid or is it strange how a match winning goal which looked offside, isn't even being looked at.

06 Mar 2026 21:27:04
I think, as the game was only on Wed night, it didn't have enough time to cover.

06 Mar 2026 21:30:08
It was well onside.

06 Mar 2026 22:03:48
Onside this time.

06 Mar 2026 22:21:54
Whine, I watched the match and the photo of the lines was shown. They showed that the player was onside. So, you either never watched the match or actually it was only 1 blue line, as they overlapped, so the attacker is given the benefit of the doubt. Never let the truth, as they say.

06 Mar 2026 23:55:10
I didn't realise that, Angus, and was questioning why there was only one line. I agree that the attacking team should get the benefit of the doubt in that scenario.

07 Mar 2026 00:33:38
I can't understand Rangers fans watching Celtic games unless it's against us lol. Baffles me.

07 Mar 2026 07:27:07
I'm the exact same as yourself, Orange T. 👍 I never watch them unless it's against us, mate. 🤔 🇬🇧

07 Mar 2026 07:35:39
I watched it because there wasn't any other game on I fancied. It was against Aberdeen, and I stay up here so I can chat to mates about it. Each to their own, as you say. I never understand the opposite close-minded mentality either. 🤷

07 Mar 2026 07:45:15
I don't see the issue. It's a game of football, simple as that. Why watch any random game?

Ur watching your rivals to get an idea of form and what we're up against.

U may just love football. Each to their own, I suppose, but I don't understand people who religiously won't watch Celtic, or u even get ones who won't say the name Celtic. Crazy man.

07 Mar 2026 07:46:51
I think Rohl did the same in the last game; he never watched how Celtic were playing, so he never made changes to try & alter the game.

07 Mar 2026 08:31:01
I don't watch any other football at all bar Rangers. Don't even think I watched the CL final.

07 Mar 2026 09:39:50
Paul, not even to see if your bets come up. 😉

07 Mar 2026 11:18:45
I only watch their games if I think it's a game they might drop points in.

07 Mar 2026 11:22:54
Story going around that Paul backed Celtic for a winner last Sunday, Angus.
Paul, only a laugh, mate.

07 Mar 2026 12:06:02
I watch their games now and again as the wife and wean are watching, but that's it. I don't see a problem with anyone watching any game of football.

I find it hard, though, to watch a full 90 mins of other teams than Rangers/Liverpool (even though both of those are a hard watch).


Football bores out of me these days. Barely touch a player, it's a foul, etc. Football has changed for the worst.

07 Mar 2026 13:07:56
Storm, you should start watching Newcastle as well as Rangers. 😜

07 Mar 2026 13:28:41
I never said there was an issue, Stevie, and it's only my opinion. People do what they like. All I said was I didn't understand it. And I don't need to gauge where they are at, mate. That's for our coaching team to know, imo. Like Angus says.

Each to their own. I'm only voicing my own. Saying it's a closed mentality, Angus, is a bit of a jump to a conclusion, though. I don't watch them because they aren't my team, and on top of it, they are our rivals. Simple as that.

07 Mar 2026 13:45:37
If both lines were shown, why did the Aberdeen manager say there was only one line drawn?

07 Mar 2026 13:55:15
Coops, the only time I watch other teams is when I'm at work and have nothing else to do. I watched Man United v Newcastle at work the other night, but football is terrible these days.
