I have a real worry for Sunday's game. Celtic had nothing to combat a rampant Rangers team last weekend, and my fear is that their tactics this weekend, aided and abetted by a compliant refereeing team will be to kick us off the park. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

17 Sep 2026 13:07:19
They should have had 2 players sent off last week they ain't going to change if anything they will tackle harder and there will be players getting sent off this weekend. Baur was a straight red you can't go into challenges like that showing studs he knew exactly what he was doing and before anyone says oh Naderi slipped doesn't matter he got to the ball and he managed to stop himself even thou he slipped baur didn't stop he went straight for Naderis leg he's lucky didn't get his leg snapped.

Then that young right back who got tore to shreds of gasman persistently fouling after he's on a yellow he should have walked.

17 Sep 2026 18:44:11
I don't know if they have what it takes to combat our new tactics/formation. The ball is definitely in their court. Start the same way as last weekend and see if they have any answers. And if they do we adapt.

Would love a win, but would be happy enough with a draw tbh. And also think they would be happy with that as well 🤔.

Watched there game last night Martin O'Neil tried to play the way we did against them 3 at the back with the wing backs inverted moving into defensive mid they couldn't do it and changed tactic over 3 times. If we can do them on Sunday they have a really hard list of fixtures coming up. I don't want to get carried away but we could be equal on points after the next two fixtures if we do our job and collect all the points.

Think Hearts will beat them there team looks like it knows it's in decline they've ran that young rb into the ground tierney looks a shadow of the player he once was there captain was blowing out his hoop at half time. Duran looks like he's realised Scotland isn't for him hogh is not the striker I thought he was. Rangers 1st Hearts 2nd Celtic 3rd that's my prediction for the season.

Looks like United have found their very own Phil Foden

Shay Lacey, what a good player this boy is, I've put a lot of cash on United tonight, great start.

16 Sep 2026 23:31:50
Unlucky Tom. I had Brighton in a 8 fold acca.

7/8 I got, hapoel ber sheva donw me out of £400 odd quid for a £5, I had dinamo Zagreb to beat them and was 0-0

Surprised Brighton came back from 2 down but I did famcy them strongly.

16 Sep 2026 23:34:24
Oooops!!

17 Sep 2026 13:10:17
You put a lot of money on Man United, Tom. Unlucky mate, United have messed up on so many occasions for me. I don't go near them now.

17 Sep 2026 14:09:12
On the Cu*t list as I call it Wallace lol.

17 Sep 2026 15:06:21
Stevie, see you had hardlines with your teams last night, mate, had a small bet builder up in the Sunderland game, 4.1/1.
Got them on winning the Europa at 16/1.
Mrs was at the game, be with her in Milan.

17 Sep 2026 15:16:23
Forgot to add, she said that was the best atmosphere she can ever remember, Why Niel is used to playing in front of supporters like ours, only difference is Sunderland don't groan at a miss placed pass and support harder in difficult situations.

17 Sep 2026 16:36:57
Just enjoy the moment rather than having usual dig at fans. Most clubs don't expect to be challenging for winning things either and are quite happy to yo-yo up and down so occasional success must be quite exciting for them. Maybe we should all have a middle of the road club so we'd be happier settling for mediocrity. 👍😜.

17 Sep 2026 16:57:19
Kasier only saying massive difference in supporters, supporting the club like supporters.

17 Sep 2026 17:16:46
Still there's a massive difference comparing the emotions of fans experiencing the best their club has seen in probably their lifetime and ones who have seen some of worst results. Pretty sure there has been plenty of disgruntled groans down there just as we also had an amazing atmosphere at the weekend.

17 Sep 2026 17:23:09
Kasier, still a great support in league one, know what you're saying though, just does my head in moaning at a bad pass.

17 Sep 2026 17:52:16
Beale I've lost by 1 goal for a win about 8-10 times already this season and I do 8-10/12 folds mate so it's a few Bob every time it's soul destroying haha

Sunderland were on my coupon mate.

The difference with Sunderland as an example and Rangers / Celtic fans and even the big euro clubs fans is we assume we're entitled to success, clubs like Sunderland have been through the ringer a few times ovwr the years and they know what it's like to be down and out so they support better when they're losing and mid table etc.

There's no fans like Old Firm when we're wining in Europe or need a goal it's more domestic when we're flat, I'd say this booing at half time has really came about since we got back into too league.

Wasn't as loud and commin when I Went to all games from 99 to 2014-15 albeit missed a season or 2 in between.

The boos were a tiny minority back then to my memory. What would others say?

17 Sep 2026 18:19:07
We had an incredible support down the lower leagues too. I'd say it's expectation more than entitlement personally. And we should based on our size and money in comparison with the rest expect better. Players at smaller clubs can raise their performance for big games but be happy to accept draws the rest of the time and fans get used to less demands too.

But the same in even the top leagues the top clubs have an expectation to win every game, Bayern, PSG, Barca, Real etc.

17 Sep 2026 18:26:00
I will never back United again, I thought they were a certainty at 8/11 at home in that cup, and I thought they were winners early doors, big problems in Salford methinks, they won't be in my consideration betting wise, i'll have to get it back on Ferencvaros, who were actually quite a big name back in the day.

17 Sep 2026 21:56:48
Tom I wasn't even aware of their incredible record cops just told us about when I chose them.
Hesitated for 10 secs or so then pressed them on the phone.

Brighton very good. Some defence this season

The lad from spurs is some player at the back.

16 Sep 2026 22:01:50
Terrific comeback from Brighton to beat man United 3-2 in the carabao cup at old trafford and Michael Carrick under a bit of pressure 🤔Brighton thoroughly deserved it on their second half performance and that's Brighton won at Old Trafford 5 times out of their last 6 visits. 😲 Only one winner when Brighton got level and are a very well coached team 👌.

17 Sep 2026 11:25:30
And booed off the park.
Just goes to show that the fans at one of the biggest clubs in the world aren't slow at showing displeasure with the team and manager.
Not just Rangers then.

17 Sep 2026 13:23:54
Mph, maybe one of the reasons, why there in this position now.

17 Sep 2026 16:24:09
Bad management, re builds chop and changing managers, Man United very similar to us in that manner, still considered every other teams cup final when they play them, scary to think where they be without Bruno Fernandez as they rely so much on him as well.

17 Sep 2026 17:08:30
Every big club has entitled fans, usually the newer variety, but United cost me a few quid and they are still in bother, they can't compete with the London clubs or Liverpool even in transfer market now, they will be out of the running for everything very soon.

16 Sep 2026 18:55:48
Not long after reading on the Rangers review Jermain Defoe's interview about Steven Gerrard when he was our manager and when he got the deal on the go to get Defoe up to sign for Rangers. 🤔 Defoe touches on a wow moment and how much Rangers means to Steven Gerrard and how they always will remain in his heart. ❤️

Gerrard blew Defoe away when he told him Rangers is the nearest club to Liverpool in practically everything and how emotional he was when he won the league as Rangers manager. 👍 I don't think the vast majority of us would doubt that Gerrard clearly loves our football club and Rangers will always remain etched in his heart just behind his beloved Liverpool ❤️🇬🇧.

16 Sep 2026 19:45:23
One of the reasons I hate seeing people being over the top against Gerrard and even more so Mick Beale.

Both guys absolutely love the club and deserve way more respect than they get.

16 Sep 2026 19:57:55
As much as i like Defoe & Gerrard i avoid reading anything about 55 season really, feel like its spoken about too much for a 1 off mad season. We weren't even there to see it so genuinely doesn't really hold special memories for me compared to others. The next title we get will feel better. We need to make new memories badly.

16 Sep 2026 19:58:37
And i don't mean your post mate i meant the article you refer to*.

16 Sep 2026 19:59:13
I have no doubt that Rangers are infectious to almost everyone.

I would say that the Gerrard chapter has been closed for some time now.

17 Sep 2026 13:15:56
I've said this before, Gerrard was the best thing to happen to our club in the past 15 years. King in Liverpool, God in Glasgow. Go watch the video of him coming in to Ibrox in the car after we won the league. Gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Even the music was perfect now one of my favourite tracks.

17 Sep 2026 16:27:27
Still think we would of went on to win at least the title the following year, the collapse against st 10 men in champ league qualifier put us back years, huge sliding door moment for our club.

17 Sep 2026 21:57:48
Wallace absolutely

He's only one who brought real success and consistency in old firms and Europe.

He's a legend in my eyes for sure.

17 Sep 2026 22:51:23
Coopersdad if Stevie didn't leave we win that league. 7 points clear or was it 5 clear game in hand?

We win that league if Stevie stays.

He knows that and I believe it still gnaws at him every day maye I do.

He's a winner and a champion and he knows he flung the fight in a sense.

I'd say it's his 2nd biggest regret being the slip in his career.

It kills me the disrespect Stevie g gets from a kind of high minority of fans.

Yea it's a minority but it's a high minority, 35-40% really put the boit in slaughter him and at down his achievements.

He's done more for Rangers as manager than super ally. Warburton. Pedro, Clement, Beale, Gio, Barry, back to le guen.

His efforts ovwr 3 years stopped 10 in a row. Stopped trebles. Stopped 16 in a row as we speak. Imagine that? 16 in a row? Wow

He transformed us from a laughing stock to a feared force in Europe for some of tomoz teams on the continent. He beat teams worth 5 times his team. Ma angers on 5 times his wage. With players like Kent, aribo. Morelos, kamara, borna, jacko, Tav

Players that wouldn't get a spot on the bench in any team that n epl.
He built us back up from almost dust.

No scouts no academy structure. No upper management in football dept.

He gave us best defensive record in British football history, maximum points I. Britain, most clean sheet record, all in same season, he left us 7 clear in the league.

He is a phenomenon in our recent history.

What a guy. What a ranger.

18 Sep 2026 08:44:20
So back wearing the Gerrard pyjamas👀, did u sell the Dahl one's 🙄😉🤣🤣.

18 Sep 2026 08:06:27
The people that slate Gerrard couldn't lace his boots mate.

18 Sep 2026 11:38:28
Fork I've put the Dahl ones away for now mate. We might gwt him in on loan if they don't start giving him minutes come January mate.
Theyre just sitting tidy for now mate haha.

18 Sep 2026 15:45:45
God loves a trier Stevie boy 😉🤣👍.

16 Sep 2026 10:18:06
nothing to do with football but do any of our Ayrshire brothers have any experience with Mossblown. looking at buying a house there, my wife has poor mental health and like piece and quiet. last thing she needs is nosy neighbours to be honest.

i know its out of the way a little but that might be ideal to be fair.

16 Sep 2026 15:07:52
Geesa mossblown like most Ayrshire villages are fairly quiet these days due to to lack of infrastructure investment, seems all the council do is allow more houses built without much thought of facilities for those moving to villages, no pub anymore that I know of although annbank which is next to it has one though decent bus service into Ayr.

I've not stayed there so can't comment on the people there. If I was going to advise on a particular village to buy in the area I'd probably go with coylton however I would suggest prices will be fairly different, depends on your needs for amenities, schools etc.

17 Sep 2026 07:47:13
great info mcmillst, i suppose the prices reflect the amenities. gives so insight though thank you.

16 Sep 2026 00:31:38
Meant to post this couple of days ago, got a healthy we return on a bet on the boxing, bet garcia to ko benn in the 3rd round. Only started watching garcia 2 years ago, the boy can certainly box, his hand speed is something else. For any boxing fans that haven't been watching him get on it, he's a joy to watch.

16 Sep 2026 07:02:10
Did he not get KO'd in round 2?

16 Sep 2026 07:03:19
But your right about Garcia brilliant watch.

16 Sep 2026 07:50:19
Boyblue, you would have lost money as Ben got knocked out in the 2nd round.

17 Sep 2026 10:27:50
You got a name for your bookie mate? If he's paying out for losing bets, i'll make a fortune off him :D.

17 Sep 2026 15:13:17
I'm confused, again, but I did read about the fight, as best I could and it was obvious that the fighters were on different levels, many experts even said the fight was a serious mismatch, I knew little about Garcia, but I believe Benn was out of his weight class, whatever it was indeed a mismatch.

18 Sep 2026 21:33:09
You know what i mean ya swines.

15 Sep 2026 11:08:48
Few weeks ago a question on here about winning just one of the Celtic double header and if I remember correctly, the general consensus was win the cup game.
Now that we've done that, will we still be understanding if the result on Sunday doesn't go our way.

I still feel as if its early days and personally would be understanding. Its a big ask at a partisan park head, but i'm still hopeful.

15 Sep 2026 15:35:36
In the words of Lena Martell:-
🎶one game at a time, sweet bazbear🎶
It will be much tougher but if the progress continues then we will give a good account of ourselves.
I didn't think we would win on Sunday.
My eldest was confident.
I've a feeling we will do no worse than a draw.

15 Sep 2026 15:44:24
If there was ever a game that would give a team the confidence needed to go there and get a result that 3-0 would be it. We stood up to everything all over the park! We had real fight, desire, hunger and quality when it was needed.

I think we can get a result but it's a different game now with the team having no fans. If we win or can grab a draw in that atmosphere which we know is going to be tough, it'll be some result and it'll tell me (I think) how close the title race could be.

The atmosphere at the game was as good as I can remember on Sunday and the pub was absolutely buzzing afterwards.

15 Sep 2026 16:07:02
the players keep entertaining and fighting like that then fans will always be behind them.

15 Sep 2026 16:37:43
Agree with you all there, think i'd take a draw MPH, but oh what damage a convincing win would do. i'm getting greedy now.
Youre spot on geesadodo.

15 Sep 2026 16:59:07
I think we might be OK Sunday, IF someone shows BIG Manny how to put his toe through the ball & get it tae 'F'.

15 Sep 2026 17:15:00
Think it will be a completely different game on Sunday i Think we could be good on the counter if they come out gung ho.

15 Sep 2026 22:47:37
Gary Stevens, can't see them coming out any other way, their fans will be expecting nothing less after a skudding like that.

15 Sep 2026 23:58:13
We should be coming out on the front foot, goal shuts that lot up, a second, that starts sack the board.😁
Happy with a draw, wouldn't be that disappointed if we leave with nothing, long long way to go in the league.

16 Sep 2026 13:53:54
Mowser yes that's what I meant let them go for it then pick them off.

16 Sep 2026 14:18:35
They are nervous star, they know Rangers are very capable.

17 Sep 2026 13:22:15
They can't handle the press. Lask has showed us the way to beat them.
