Why was DR interrogated over the game against them? He is a football manager! And why did our club allow the questions?
Agree2
14 Mar 2026 07:34:25
It's all anyone has spoken about since, and the club only issued a statement the night before, so it was bound to be like that. To be fair, he was prepared for it and answered as best he could.
13 Mar 2026 16:14:36
Another tasty bet two singles and a double in my lucky 15
Dino blue 11-8
Johnnys Jury 20/1
Just could not get at least one more.
Agree1
13 Mar 2026 17:24:42
Been murder at Cheltenham all week, so good to see someone getting a turn. Good week for the bookies, can't moan. Got a couple of good coupons up midweek, so hopefully a while before I give them it back.
13 Mar 2026 18:16:53
Still a gd lift, John. One more would be a great lift. π
13 Mar 2026 18:28:29
Exactly Fork, but I'm not complaining.
14 Mar 2026 08:35:02
Also had tenner on Johnny's Jury yesterday. π
14 Mar 2026 13:07:36
Well done, Paul.
14 Mar 2026 15:27:05
Hope all you guys that like a bet had a bit of the 8/1 winner Teddy Blue.
14 Mar 2026 18:49:13
I had Johnny's Jury 22/1. I got then a few placed horses. Me and my dad bet the winner of Midlands National 22/1 but paid 28/1, so best odds is great. π
13 Mar 2026 15:41:23
I personally rate findlay Curtis higher than skol. should have kept him instead of loaning out to killie. hoping neil mcCan can bring the best out of him. maybe a winner against the jams at the weekend. that would be a treat.
Agree0
13 Mar 2026 17:16:45
Decent. I have to agree with what I've watched currently, but saying that, I think all-round would be beneficial for Olsen: an extended 6 month loan with full pre season, and an extended 6 month loan for Curtis.
May sound strange, but I don't think we have seen the best of Olsen, and he has more to give, given fitness and confidence, and Curtis playing more games will give him more confidence.
13 Mar 2026 18:17:30
I rate him better than Moore. π£π€π
13 Mar 2026 19:15:57
I also don't think we have seen the best of Olsen, but I also don't think it matters how long we give him, as he will never be the type and style of player whom fans expect him to be.
He isn't a flying winger, a Sima nor a Cerny. His style is completely different, but if he manages to get to the level he was before, we will have a top class player.
Fork, welcome back. π
13 Mar 2026 19:50:13
Lol, found my spoon, that maybe what I lost. πππ
13 Mar 2026 20:27:32
Decee, you are right, Skol was awful. π
13 Mar 2026 22:16:25
Or was it a spork (sorry). π
13 Mar 2026 22:19:46
Rather be Spork than a knob. ππ€£π€£
13 Mar 2026 22:33:43
True, but thing is I am not really a knob in my real life (nor are you a spork, granted) π. Not an issue btw and know that it is a joke but going to draw a line under the discussion.
13 Mar 2026 22:37:26
Fork, sorry, but I feel the need to explain - I don't have an issue with you on any of this or our back and forth. I have been a willing participant on the whole thread. I just don't want others to jump on that bandwagon, that is all. π
13 Mar 2026 23:55:57
Curtis is on the up. Skol is on the way down, imo.
14 Mar 2026 05:16:51
Not a problem, bud. Done. π π
14 Mar 2026 07:34:39
Sorry, Fork, not aimed at you, as I say. For some unknown reason, last night I realised there were too many posters agreeing with your jokes on me being that, and I didn't want it to get out of hand.
I actually felt a bit vulnerable. I'm over that now, so apologies for being a bit over the top. I think, like you, the fan discussions got to me more than I thought.
{Ed001's Note - mate, take it as a compliment. You are a decent guy who gives an honest opinion.}
14 Mar 2026 07:56:28
It's not a problem, bud. It takes a toll when u least expect it. No need to apologise, mate. π
14 Mar 2026 08:15:00
It was a joke from yesterday Ed, but understand Angus reservations, top poster as u say π
{Ed001's Note - I know mate, but I was just saying he shouldn't worry, just be glad you thought he was able to not just take the joke but join in with it, as it shows you hold him in high regard.}
14 Mar 2026 09:48:58
Cheers Ed and Fork. As I said I guess like you Fork I got a bit wound up in the fan behaviour thing and have decided to stay away from that element for a while anyway. a good night's sleep and I am back to my normal self. I don't know if that is a bad thing or a good thing.
Please don't think about what you post to me as we are both mature enough to say when it isn't right and accept it.
looking forward to next game to give us something different to talk about. π
14 Mar 2026 10:46:58
Both of you appear very respectful and decent, knowledgeable individuals to me.
As far as Curtis is concerned, in hindsight I feel he would have got enough game time staying with us and would have enhanced our options on the right, as I prefer Gassama on the left.
I know we have Moore and Antman that are both flexible.
Aso, I feel, still has something to give, but a young energetic lad waiting in the wings to play in his place and dough tail with him might not have been a bad option to have on the right.
14 Mar 2026 11:00:53
Cheers CO2, we rib each other all the time, bud, sometimes too much, but there's always respect. I agree about Curtis. Yes, he's out for game time, but like you say, he's hungry, and is a more than able replacement for Olsen until, hopefully, the player we've seen previously at Brugge shows up.
14 Mar 2026 13:00:40
No worries Ed and Angus cheers guys, all good here??
14 Mar 2026 13:08:19
cheers again Ed. good to have someone sensible moderating all the stuff we write on here. I, for one, know I can be a bit close to the line at times, without meaning to be and have appreciated the help you give to keep it sensible. I think as a group we respect all of you for that. keep up the good work.
{Ed001's Note - thank you so much, I really appreciate that.}
14 Mar 2026 13:42:01
Cheers CO2.
Fork, we are 100%, and it was never a problem; I like the ribbing, and even last night it wasn't us that I was worried about. In hindsight, I should have just left it to fade into the background.
I have said I would prefer Curtis to play ahead of Moore, but that he wouldn't get game time. I had a look for another thread with Kaiser on Banter and found a few bits where it said that because there is no domestic league for 20-year-olds at Ibrox, staying at the club and playing 10 minutes or so is generally considered the "worst" option for long-term growth of a young player.
So, possibly the reason he is away from the club, whether he is a better option or not.
14 Mar 2026 13:59:29
Nah Curtis all day for me budπ£ππ, echo angus's thoughts also Edπappreciated π
{Ed001's Note - cheers mate.}
14 Mar 2026 14:31:53
Fork that rod is going to be confiscated and put in the Ed's desk drawer until the end of the day π
14 Mar 2026 15:03:31
Lol, "He's going to need a bigger desk". π¦ππ€£
13 Mar 2026 01:08:46
It's clear to see bojan is 3rd choice I personally would try and sell him and bring in Barney Stewart form falling as 3rd choice hopefully he can develop into 1st or second choice in a season or 2.
Agree1
13 Mar 2026 07:59:45
Rfc, I think that 3rd spot should be for a development player, or one to bring the others along faster, possibly. Stewart's stats look good for the 10 games he has played. Would you see Chermiti and Naderi being potent enough to remove the need for another, more experienced striker in that 3rd position? I hope they both progress next season, but I wondered what others thought.
13 Mar 2026 09:28:54
Not seen enough of Barney Stewart to judge. I think it's probably a bit early, as he's only just breaking through. I would rather it was one of our own developing.
13 Mar 2026 10:46:22
Seen Stewart a few times now. He's only learning the game, but has been impressive in a couple. He was playing for Heriot Watt last season, and he'd be better getting far more experience before thinking about moving on. See, Bowie scored the winner against Bologna. Wouldn't have minded him, but not at his price, right enough.
13 Mar 2026 13:16:11
Angus, I still believe we need more threat from the midfield. The pressure on the strikers isn't healthy. The balls they get to work with are non-existent, and if they don't create chances for themselves, they have scraps to work on.
I do think Naderi and Chermiti will improve. Whether that will be enough to stop the unrest, I don't know. Time will tell, as I don't see any of them leaving unless a good offer comes in.
13 Mar 2026 16:27:34
Geesa, I agree and have been saying for ages that we don't have enough creativity in mf. Chermiti has to drop deep to get the ball, which means he isn't in or around the box. If we had players who supported and got beyond the striker(s), then it would give us more of that threat. It would also give the 2-3 defenders marking the lone striker more to worry about.
We are scoring more, spread across the team this year, which is a start. Last year, if you removed Dessers and Cerny, we scored not a lot elsewhere. The number of shots our mf have, when mapped against on target and goals scored, is very poor.
12 Mar 2026 21:52:01
If the green brigade are banned from Celtic park how where they allowed into Ibrox there. and for the green brigade and union bears should both be banned and whoever else was involved utter embarrassing.
Agree5
13 Mar 2026 10:12:58
That's actually a really good point, mate. If they are banned from Celtic Park, how were they given tickets for Ibrox?
13 Mar 2026 10:21:50
They are banned from away games as well, I think, so wouldnt/shouldnt get tickets through official channels. Police have advised Celtic that they are still managing to get in by a variety of means, including those fans not banned giving them tickets.
Worryingly, they had an application for a tifo turned down by us for the match, so it seems we might have known they were going to attend. That would be equally as worrying imo.
13 Mar 2026 13:17:24
I think most of them were the ones charging through the turnstiles without tickets. Might be wrong though.
12 Mar 2026 09:28:29
Not Rangers related but i would like to congratulate Kjetil and BodΓΈ on another outstanding performance and result.
All of Norway is proud.
Agree6
12 Mar 2026 10:03:30
Outstanding from them. Had them on my coupon and wasn't even remotely worried about them. Arsenal let me down, but Bodo are looking incredible.
I'm absolutely desperate for them to do it now.
It would be the best thing to happen to European football in my lifetime.
12 Mar 2026 11:13:30
They are getting all the easy draws though, Aphe. π I mean, Man City, Inter and Sporting. If they can't beat them, then what sort of team are they? ππ
Great result, and I hope they continue to thrive. Always good to see new names getting further in the competition.
12 Mar 2026 11:34:44
I know Angus. π€£
Manchester City at home - Bodo victory.
Atletico Madrid away - Bodo victory.
Inter Milan home - Bodo victory.
Inter Milan away - Bodo victory.
Sporting Lisbon home - Bodo victory.
Last 5 matches in Europe.
Stevie, I agree, my friend. It would be the biggest and best upset in European football history.
12 Mar 2026 12:24:42
Would be surprised if they are reading these pages.
12 Mar 2026 12:32:36
Another excellent result for them in the CL.
12 Mar 2026 13:56:40
Great result for the team. I bet them at 11/8, great price. They are doing what no Scottish club will do for a long, long time. π
12 Mar 2026 14:53:06
That's not fair, Storm.
You are forgetting Celtic hit the post against Real and were unbeaten against Bayern in Germany. π
12 Mar 2026 15:15:13
ππ mph.
12 Mar 2026 16:05:51
I think it's really at home; they're unbelievable. Maybe in a neutral final they could fall at the last hurdle. I fancy them to get to the final and maybe win it. I am going to have a look at their odds to win it.
12 Mar 2026 16:07:07
33/1 on 365, it's worth a wee tenner each way. I think it really is possible.
12 Mar 2026 16:54:37
Cuillin, you are 100% right there. However, Rangers won't be reading these pages either, though, and we spend all our time telling the managers they are picking the wrong team, tactics and subs. Just a chat amongst guys who like, firstly, Rangers, and, next in line, football.
12 Mar 2026 22:30:01
What was the point of that post, Cuillin?
Stevie, I hope they do win it, but I think the next round might be their limit, but you never know, as stranger things have happened in football.
12 Mar 2026 23:05:01
I think they're able to beat any team over 2 legs. I think the final may be their limit; I hope to God not.
I'd love them to win it, man. It would be the best Euro thing I've seen outside Rangers.
13 Mar 2026 11:45:02
Stevie, it certainly would do wonders for European football as a whole.
They are an example to follow.
Cuillen, if you have nothing to add, then it is best to add nothing.
11 Mar 2026 18:24:41
Does St.Mirren having no manager after Robinson leaves help or hinder us for Sunday?
Agree0
11 Mar 2026 22:23:01
It should help us.
12 Mar 2026 07:55:43
Ows, see some Aberdeen fans don't want Stephen Robinson. Support him and Aberdeen will be back challenging.
They'll have someone in place for our game. Help us or hinder us, not sure.
12 Mar 2026 09:36:16
Surprised Aberdeen fans don't want him. He'll do well. Remember, some suggested him for us too.
12 Mar 2026 09:50:11
Robinson is a cracking, youngish manager. I think he'll do well in the game, but Aberdeen is a poison chalice. Even McCain, we got the boot from there.
He'd have been better served staying with St Mirren and trying for the cup double.
That would be some cv to then leave them in the summer if he wanted a move, or, better still, to end up in Europe.
12 Mar 2026 09:57:47
I think there is an element who still think above where the club actually is when it comes to managers and players, so I agree with Stevie that it is that poisoned chalice.
They have also jumped about with managers, so have a group of players who don't fit into any strategy of any manager. On paper, they look good, but when they get on the pitch, their confidence isn't there anymore.
I think that is the one thing that Robinson will do quickly. The players at St Mirren, after the cup win, seemed to go off track, so perhaps it is the right time for him to move. The job may not be there in the summer, so does he risk that?
12 Mar 2026 10:05:17
Angus, I'd expect him to go for Ohara in the summer. He's a very good midfielder, mate, better than he gets credit for. I really like Ohara.
Maybe Gogic too.
12 Mar 2026 16:57:04
Stevie, so do I. St Mirren have a lot of players who play the way he wants them to. I am not sure if Aberdeen have that, or will be happy if their team were to play like that. They never liked McInnes and the way he played, as they want to be back to the early 80s and Ferguson style of play.
I can imagine their fan forum if Gogic was suggested; it would be as bad as it was here.
12 Mar 2026 19:46:46
Robinson attacks, mate. He played 2 up against Celtic, didn't he, and when making the subs it was attacker for attacker, maybe not defending.
I really like him, mate. He's a straight talker and a very good manager.
Ohara is another from Barrhead, mate, although I don't know him.
12 Mar 2026 22:33:55
Yes, he does play 2 up and doesn't play a low block like the other teams. What I mean is his style, whilst better, is still more pragmatic and a survival-first approach compared to the way they remember with Ferguson.
I like him as well, although I'm not sure I would want that style with us either.
Do they have the players to play that style now; if not, they will have to change their squad again. He does like 3 at the back and they have a lot of CHs, so who knows.
12 Mar 2026 23:07:02
He'll have a few (2) million to spend; maybe he's never had that.
I really, really like him. I hope he does the job with them; maybe he goes to Northern Ireland, and, who knows, he could maybe manage us in the future.
He fits the model of bringing assistants in who can take over in 5 years, say, like the Moroccan boy.
13 Mar 2026 16:31:00
Usually, players step up knowing someone else is coming in. It should be the same every week, but human nature, and with Robinson at Ibrox next week, it might go against us twice. If we can't get full points in these games, someone switch lights off till pre season.
