Dreadful news about his condition. I met Davie many times and several times shared his company at Ibrox. He was my boyhood hero, yet seemed like Peter Pan as I got old and he didn't. A more humble and gracious gentleman you couldn't hope to meet.

Surely Bassey ?

Yes but they share it with Darren Bent who may be using it on Talksport.

Would be a great front three but where / would you play Wright? He has been outstanding recently and had another great game tonight. Also, when on form, Kent is on a different level

Just back from the game and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thought we played great for long spells. I know it's only Dunfermline but the interplay on the edge of their box was sublime at times and we need to do that more often in every match. I'd play Hagi, Morelos and Roofe in a front three for big games.

Is McCann the lad we just recently signed?

Didn’t doubt it. I spake in jest.

I thought for a spell that Iannis Hagi was the perfect forward midfielder and he gets my vote. His work rate, technical skill, inventiveness, creativity and directness were sublime. He was effective in defence and still got beyond the main striker in attack. I thought his first half was as good as I've seen in quite a while. Very impressed with Bassey and Wright who must surely retain their places. Pleased for Lundstram who might now show us why he was signed.

Sad to hear was a great player and ambassador.

Did you leave after 10 minutes? Some might say the outcome was obvious when the draw was made.

Rangers have had outstanding wingers. Wilson must be among the best, certainly the most versatile.

Keeping Roofe fit & free from suspension is what matters most

A wonderful player and a very nice person met him many a time .

It came off Morelos, surely?

LEADING ARTICLE Blame Game Failed Rangers case is another costly scandal for which no one seems to be accountable Saturday August 14 2021, 12.01am, The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/blame-game-vrz2b3bgf The malicious prosecution of Paul Clark and David Whitehouse, the Duff & Phelps administrators investigated and charged following the collapse of Rangers FC, is already one of the most expensive legal scandals in Scottish history. The two men have thus far received £21 million in compensation following the Crown Office’s admission they should never have been prosecuted and earlier this week Charles Green, the former Rangers chairman, accepted a £6 million settlement from the Crown in regard to his own wrongful prosecution. The bill for what James Wolffe, the former lord advocate, accepted was “a very serious failure” by the Crown Office is already more than £30 million and set to rise still further. Now Duff & Phelps has launched an action against the Crown seeking reparations for what the firm argues is the reputational damage it has suffered. If successful, the action could see the final cost increase to £200 million. That is an eye-watering sum, the consequences of a series of staggering misjudgements on the part of prosecutors. The Scottish government has promised a public inquiry into the affair but this cannot begin until such time as the continuing court actions have been settled. The Conservative Party has demanded that the judge leading the inquiry should come from outwith Scotland. That is, in part, a reflection of the extent to which many senior figures in the Scottish legal establishment are connected to the saga. Dorothy Bain, the current lord advocate, has recused herself from the cases, having previously advised Duff & Phelps. Meanwhile, Frank Mulholland, who presided over the prosecution while he was lord advocate, is now a Court of Session judge himself, adding force to the suggestion that an inquiry should be led by a truly independent figure, unconnected to any of the parties involved. At this stage, however, no one has been held responsible for the malicious and unfounded prosecutions. This lack of accountability is disconcertingly familiar. An inquiry into the Edinburgh tram debacle — in which the project cost twice its initial £350 million budget, was finished years late, and delivered a network significantly smaller than initially planned — was established in 2014. It has still not reported. The inquiry itself has cost more than £10 million. By the time its work is completed, almost all those involved in a spectacularly mismanaged project will have moved on. The opportunity for true accountability will have been lost. In similar fashion, the continuing saga of the Scottish government’s inability to deliver new vessels for CalMac, the national operator of passenger and vehicle ferries along the west coast, rumbles on with neither an end or any accountability in sight. Two new ferries will, at best, enter service five years later than planned and will cost the public purse at least more than twice the original £97 million fixed-price contract. No institution or individuals have yet accepted responsibility for such an abject failure. A public inquiry into how this project has been so mismanaged is increasingly necessary even if it is also likely to prove too little, too late. Better late than never, however. These scandals reveal alarming — and highly expensive — shortcomings that should alarm politicians and voters alike. One such fiasco might be unfortunate; multiple scandals of this sort amount to something much worse than mere carelessness.

a first class start from Brentford last night .

Your questions are entirely valid. For me, Roofe is the most intelligent, creative forward, Morelos is like a bull in a China shop and Hagi always has a trick up his sleeve. Wright has been good but not as good as those three. Kent, on his day, is a nightmare to play against but he's far too inconsistent. Aribo should also be considered. Like Kent, he can be fantastic or a nonentity.

Just what the doctor ordered. On that performance, Bassey should keep his place IMO, well deserved MOTM and love how he improved his deliveries.

The plural was already inferred. Frankly, neither Barisic nor Tavernier have shown anything this season to suggest they should displace the lads who played tonight.

Make that "fullbacks". Likewise, Wright and Hagi like to shoot as soon as they can AND get more rewards than Kent (in the here and now). Something else that needs to be considered. And ... if only we had Kamara against Malmö ...

Well that’s the fullback problem sorted.
