For us to move to another level in the summer we need target a tough takling cdm with good strengh
at least one good cb to patner mccorie maybe even 2
And one quality cam that can unlock a defence
These are key area for us to strenghen and would also consider gk postion if we can cash in on fod



11 Mar 2018 21:11:59
We've got a good young tough tackling central defensive midfielder in greg docherty mate!



11 Mar 2018 23:14:09
No he is a box to box player and f you had ever played the game to any form of level you would know that. We need an Ian Ferguson type player.



11 Mar 2018 23:15:23
i would like to see a player in the same mould as mo edu tough strong quick and won't get out muscled in cdm role docherty is more box to box



12 Mar 2018 01:04:53
We are Glasgow rangers we need to be at the level where we don't need a Cdm that's a negative approach in my opinion!
We were shocking in the second half today it was actually embarrassing. But wes sold the second and if u think otherwise then u really don't have a clue about football!



12 Mar 2018 07:33:42
Can’t agree we need a player who can stand up to Brown he bullied our midfield and as for second goal you need to look at our CBs they both missed a long ball from brown leaving the keeper exposed



12 Mar 2018 09:12:37
@frayzul all the top teams use a DMF just look at casemiro at real, busquets at barca, matic at man utd, kante at chelsea, fernandinho at man city and so on. with a real DMF it gives the rest of the midfielders more initiative to go forward. that's why a lot of the better teams get away with playing 2 AMFs in midfield so how you can say its a negative i don't know



12 Mar 2018 13:55:45
Thikaboutit bang on. Alves should have dropped deeper when there was no pressure on the ball on his side and then Cardosa, who tried to get on the cover should have made sure he stopped Dembele. The goalie had no chance for the first goal after it clips Bates, however was Goss's fault for getting brushed aside in midfield by Rodic. Goss was also slack for the winner as he can't let the player come inside. Their finishes were all quality mind but we shot ourselves in the foot. We are on the way back and getting closer by the day. Morelos is getting slaughtered for his miss but he played a great game. Cummings was class when he came on so there are lots of positives. They know we are coming. Dunbar Blue



12 Mar 2018 17:43:08
Just watched the highlights the and to be honest Morelos hassled the celtic defence all day cardoso had another bad game and the keepers positioning is always suspect But if u watch Morelos again I is a cracking player just his finishing that let's him down gutted to see the ugly mob celebrate at end



12 Mar 2018 19:21:44
DSG in my observation Morelos scores the hard ones and misses the easy ones his header a few weeks ago again st Johnston shows this he had no right scoring that header but misses headers from 4 yards out right in front of the goal.

His chance against them yesterday anyone else on the park would have scored it was harder to miss that chance than it was to score it.

we need a fat sally or someone like that to come in and work with him to work in his thought process when he has easy chances there had to be something in his mind that blocking him scoring these goals.



13 Mar 2018 07:35:05
Or a kris boyd mate! There's one thing this guy does, scoring goals, guaranteed! He's a terrific finisher!



13 Mar 2018 15:41:29
We don't need a tough tackling dmf. We have ryan jack, Hopefully we get Cummings on a permanent along with Murphy and maybe goss. We need a strong ch that can lead, a rb for cover, another cf and attacking midfielder that doesn't go missing when needed. I do think we'll probably need to get rid of quite a few players before any of this happens though.



13 Mar 2018 18:50:47
Bluechef, i also hope we get both jason cummings and sean goss permanently! As for jamie murphy, who is the best signing of the lot, which i did say on these very pages when we signed our january signings, that murphy was our best signing! He becomes our player automatically, at the end of the season! So no worry over him mate, he's ours, permanently when the deal kicks in, once the season finishes! Jamie murphy and daniel candeias our both wide men, were our best 2 players against celtic on sunday there! Murphy was causing there defenders massive problems, especially in the first half! Murphy is very direct, with very quick feet! Superb signing!



14 Mar 2018 11:43:29
I might be wrong but Goss was brought in for cover as Dorrans and jack are long term absentees. not to mention Rossiter.



14 Mar 2018 12:00:03
Supercooper, Murphy doesn't just become our player automatically at the end of the season, your partly right but We have to pay Brighton first, probably with some of the season ticket money then the deal kicks in.



11 Mar 2018 19:53:36
Very sore one today, but for individual mistakes we would have taken at least a draw from the match. Celtics second goal was a disgrace, you should never be beaten by a long hopeful punt up the park and what Goss was doing for their third was unbelievable.

He just let Edouard walk into the penalty area an have a free shot at goal. And Windass once again showed that he is far too often a passenger when we need him most. When you compare their middle 3 and ours it really is a no contest at the moment. I know a lot of fans are wanting us to sign Goss permanently but would he get in the Celtic team? I don't think so therefore we should be looking for better.

Murty should have changed it a bit sooner for sure.

Positives to be taken are we certainly are. Lot closer. Celtic can no longer just turn up and roll is over. And for me the biggest positive was the performance of docherty, I thought he was immense. If we could add a bit of muscle in beside him next season we will be in good shape.



12 Mar 2018 11:25:11
Zikos, one of your final comments (Celtic can no longer just turn up and roll is over) seems to be at odds with what say before it and what actually happened.



12 Mar 2018 13:23:52
Zikos, we have better in Dorrans, Jack and McCrorie plus Rossiter, but sadly they are all injured!



12 Mar 2018 21:48:01
Styab - I just think that we could have got something out of the game if it hadn't been for a couple of (crucial) mistakes. I think we are a lot closer to them now and they can no longer just turn up and win, they actually have to put a shift in and like yesterday ride their luck.

Saying that - for us to be better than them we need to improve the midfield three. that's where I think the game (and most gasmes) was won/ lost.

Doherty was class, Goss just didn't perform and Windass was a passenger. I know he has scored a lot of goals lately but still don't think he is a number 10.



14 Mar 2018 12:02:17
Zikos one poor performance from Goss doesn't suddenly make him a bad player, also it looked like Murty asked him to sit back for more cover and that's not his strengths he is far better off as holding midfielder who likes to get forward.



11 Mar 2018 15:53:51
We all need to take the positives away from this game today and no pointing the finger on individuals. We are just not there yet but very very close. From the last time we played them its night and day. We need to concentrate on 2nd place and look forward to the semi final. Food effort though Rangers.



11 Mar 2018 16:14:40
What positives? We were soundly beaten by 10 men and Morelos miss we never really troubled them.

Very very poor performance and a big indicator murty should not be full time manager. When they went down to 10 men we should have made some changes and pushed forward, however we done neither.

Brenda showed he's the better manager as his changes straight after the red card changed the game.

Sorry there was no positives for me whatsoever. Twice in the lead and threw it away to then lose vs 10 men is disgraceful at best



11 Mar 2018 16:21:20
Rabc, murty is the man, we'll beat them in semis.



11 Mar 2018 16:33:55
How can you say murty shouldn't get the job full time? I know you are hurting but that's just nonsense. We were very unlucky today. Yes there was some mistakes and morelos miss was shocking.



11 Mar 2018 18:33:38
I think murty is still the man for the job. I would have had Windass off as soon as they went to ten as I thought after his goal he kind of drifted out of the game



11 Mar 2018 19:55:01
Twice in the lead, that’s a major positive. Game management and poor central defence main negatives.



11 Mar 2018 20:22:40
Rabc what a negative post we matched them all game from where we were six months ago we are in a far better place, it was a great game end to end they are still that wee bit ahead but the gap is closing



11 Mar 2018 20:36:39
Loads of positives too take from the game

Rabc we where no soundly beaten at all that is a laughable comment and Brenda made the changes he had too and they were obvious ones

they had good stack when they went down too ten men and die too defensive errors at the back they scored.

I can’t see past ya in the semi final.

Always improving as a team.



12 Mar 2018 00:21:47
He shouldn't get the job after the summer because he should have changed it after the red card, they made the changes and they won! If the average guy watching the game can see it then so should the manager. Holt should have played, yes Goss has looked good but this was his first big game and he was shown up. We need someone who can win the ball and Windass, Goss etc are not going to do that. Too many luxury type wannabe players. Morelos makes me cringe 95% of the time, iam beginning to wonder if thd goals he has scored have just been lucky because he has no composure at all. Anyone can puut the ball in from 5 yards out bug he couldn't even do that. Cardoso is a joke and Alves was in no mans land for the Dembele goal. Murty is not brave enough to make certain decisions, very predictable in his approach and that showed when Rodgers knew he coukd put on another Striker when they went down to 10 men, the very thing Murty should have done! If they didn't make 2 poor errors themselves then we wouldn't have even scored, can't say we are going to beat them in the Cup based on that game today.



12 Mar 2018 09:21:25
guys, sorry if my comments caused any offence but i can't see any positives from yesterday at all. twice in the lead against a celtic team with their 3rd choice GK, top scorer and 1st choice right back along with roberts out coupled with the likes of sinclair and armstrong on the bench. they also played for the best part of 35 mins with 10 men so no i can't see a single positive to take out of the game.

bar his goal windass was pretty anonymous and foderingham YET again beaten from distance and what he was doing at the 2nd goal god knows.

i guess their is no real point discussing the morelos miss as these things happen however i feel that he needs dropped for a few games now and let cummings get his chance.

yes i agree we are in a better position than we were 6 months ago but that does not mean murty is the answer. too many times now he's been found wanting when it comes to his substitutions and that has cost us dearly yesterday and to an extent the new years game when he left niko on for far too long. however I've resigned myself to the fact that murty will be in charge for next season and with that the real possibility that we won't be challenging either.

however the saddest part of it all is my 2 younger children have never experienced us beating that lot and my older children now just accept that a defeat from celtic is the norm and have rapidly lost track in watching us and prefer to watch the EPL. i fear that we are in danger of losing a whole generation of children the longer this goes on



12 Mar 2018 17:06:13
Got to admit, Murty ain't up to being rangers manager, we need an experienced guy in charge, who can read a game and out think the opposing manager, we are Rangers, the most successful team in the world, it's to much responsibility on murtys shoulders guys, and the guys to nice to get the abuse that comes with the job, he's at best a number 2 to a souness type hard ass manager who can read a game and make changes to see out a win.



11 Mar 2018 10:19:08
Any news on Murphy and John?
