Rangers Debates

My star. Who is condo this week, is it boyne.

Earlier in the season a number of us debated how many of our team would get on the Hearts team or would make a combined XI. And while it been great to get back into the title race and without repeating the debate I think it has shown the fundamental problem is the players we have simply aren't good enough.

And the change of manager couldn't totally change that. Recruitment has to be far better next year.

28 Apr 2026 13:22:33
I disagreed at the time and I still disagree.

A couple of the Hearts players would strengthen our squad. I don't think any would be guaranteed starters.

For the purpose of the debate, this would be my strongest 11.

Butland

Rommens
Cornelius
Souttar
Tav

Dio
Raskin
Barron

Moore
Naderi
Antman.

I find it interesting you select Antman. Do you think he's still not fit enough to start games, EHL, as I would really like to see how he would perform between now and the end of the season.

28 Apr 2026 14:42:11
And yet they have gone the distance so far while we are stuttering. Only one of our players made the team of the year, and few argued any of ours should have been in instead. Rommens and Naderi weren't in the discussions. Rommens would absolutely be in, but Naderi I'm not sure.

One goal from an injury prone lower league player? U also name 4 or 5 players who struggle to play in our XI, let alone theirs. A good debate, I think, but it does, however, show this group of players simply isn't good enough, and it's remarkable we're even in the race now.

28 Apr 2026 15:16:03
EHL addressed this issue a while back about preconditioning of our players. Along with players unfit to play the full 90 mins, at the wrong time of the season, is the biggest issue.

Although I don't like 442 and prefer 433, I think he hoped we could have got a quick couple of goals to finish the game early.



We got sucker punched with direct quick play when our team were stretched over the park.

28 Apr 2026 16:42:43
So potentially none of those who could be champions would get in a team ahead of even those who only make the bench of the team that comes 3rd? I totally respect your opinion, especially having worked with some of these guys, but I can't agree on this one.

28 Apr 2026 10:45:44
Aphe, i would ask you to look again at your response to Rab68, yesterday @ 22.25.

Rab made a very ordinary, well worded and coherent post with his opinion and nit a hint of nastiness nor anything that would require your response.

Yet you didn't like his words " these foreign managers ", none of your business what he thinks about any managers.

Then turn your attention once again to Steven Gerard using " messiah" to add veritas and to put the poster down, nobody has ever used that term to describe anyone, except you. You then proceed to tell Rab his post was a "rant".

Point is mate, u have absolutely no qualms in putting other people down with zero concern for how Rab is in his situation, i repeat Zero qualms whatsoever, someone needs to point this out.

28 Apr 2026 11:05:58
Looked again. Nothing changes.
My response was to his rant in his first post, Tom.

I have no qualms telling you I don't care for your opinion.
I gave an honest answer and I stand by it.

28 Apr 2026 11:11:27
I did not put him down whatsoever.

I answered his original post. He decided to start a new post calling me out as defensive.

Why? Because he joined the ranks of those that call me defensive rather than engaging in conversation.



I would support him if he were to say he had any issues in his life, but I will not be told what I can and cannot write in response to being directly called out.

28 Apr 2026 08:19:38
Winning 4 in a row is the new Olsen.
Olsen was the new Chermiti.
Chermiti was the new Barron.
Barron was the new Souttar.
Souttar was the new Tav.
Tav was the new Martin.
And on it goes.
All topics of conversation on this wonderful forum.
Where some state their opinions as fact on each topic.
I would have loved Martin to have been a success,
I would love for our RB and captain to drive us on to the title.
I would have loved Souttar to have been the defensive rock we all crave.
I would love for Barron to be that midfielder we all crave.


I would love Chermiti to be the 25+ goal Rangers number 9 who fires us to domestic success in the league and cups.
I would love Olsen to regain his past form and reputation and create the chances to deliver the title.
I would love nothing better than winning the 4 in a row and hope that Hearts slip up elsewhere to gift us the title.
Because I think the opposite doesn't make them fact. These are just my opinions. Others are entitled to the opposite view.
Truth be told, I'd rather be wrong.
Keep Believing🔴⚪🔵.

2 Rangers players nominated in player of year awards-
Mikey, on loan and 1 in the womens group.
0 Tims in it, men or women?

Firstly like most on here, i rate and like our manager Danny Rohl but have to be honest and say he definitely got it wrong against Motherwell yesterday ☹️ Motherwell are very good in the midfield and we allowed them far too much room/space to win the midfield battle and play their usual game, especially in the first half 🤔For me Raskin and chuckwuani gave up territory by being too far back with no press as they were too far back against our own centre halfs which of course allowed Motherwell time and space in midfield, where the game is won and lost 🤔 This is only my opinion but Raskin should have been playing higher up the park to start the press and Connor Barron should have been the more defensive midfielder with Dio or chuckwuani 🤔 Raskin is better further forward where he can undoubtedly cause more damage and allows the press further up the park instead of being squeezed against our centre halfs

28 Apr 2026 07:09:59
Raskin did start the game slightly higher, but he was dragged back due to the length of time Djiga and Fernandez spent on the ball.

28 Apr 2026 10:09:40
Sws Danny can't win, many were saying we should play 2 up to the end of the season, and doing so meant we were over run in the midfield or easy to play through. 2 or 3 passes was all it took for Motherwell to go from one end to the other. We can't even get out our own box with same amount of passes.



The gap between defence and midfield is too big, and I am sure it's not what DR asked them to do.

Some people saying Dio doesn't help the team, others asking why he didn't start. Funny how we all become experts when things don't work out.

28 Apr 2026 10:21:35
Totally agree bro, i was watching from my bed and screaming at the lackadaisical manner they play like they didn't have a care.

And because of that lethargy they were caught like a rabbit in floodlights when Motherwell broke in behind

27 Apr 2026 13:42:05
One thing I've learnt with Rangers is never predict beating anyone. 🫡

27 Apr 2026 15:29:21
100% agree on this.

27 Apr 2026 16:01:09
Definitely, I said I thought 3-0 but used that in a way to frame my desire for a 4-3-3 formation.

I said "in keeping with the 3s".

I certainly will not be saying a proposed scoreline again.

27 Apr 2026 17:01:10
Hearts 3 v 5 Rangers
Celtic 1 v 8 Rangers
Rangers 6 v 2 Hibs
Falkirk 0 v 1 Rangers
Keep Believing. 🤣🔴⚪️🔵🤣

27 Apr 2026 17:03:13
Nothing wrong with fans getting confident, we just won four games in a row, scoring 17 goals and losing 6. Let's just hope we win the next four games in a row.

27 Apr 2026 17:11:39
Mrph, load off nonsense, we will take 10 of Falkirk.

27 Apr 2026 18:16:56
We have given Livi, Falkirk and now Motherwell 2 goals at the start. We have won 1, drew 1 and lost 1, that's 5 points lost in those games. Also put in the Motherwell game at Fir Park, 1-0 up and then down to 10 and don't win it. These have all been with Rohl as manager, not Martin.

28 Apr 2026 13:27:17
Oh my God, Mystar has hacked mph account with those predictions. 😳 Joking Mystar. 👍

28 Apr 2026 16:12:32
Also couldn't beat a depleted Celtic team twice at home, Storm.
