After reading this comment, purposely I tuned into BBC Radio Scotland's lunchtime news and sports bulletin at 1pm. Jonathan Sutherland hosted the five minute sports slop. Two items; firstly Scotland's qualification for the cricket T20 world cup was discussed, and quite rightly too. Scotland won all three of their qualification matches against Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea and, Oman. This involved a couple of recorded interviews with the Skipper of the side and a recently retired Scots cricketer. Secondly, another two minutes were allocated to the scarcity of Rugby Union Referees in Scotland. No mention of the Rangers match or BBC Scotland's coverage. Just as well, the coverage was Big Dick and Tom Anguish in a PQ studio, watching a TV and making comments. There was neither a half time or full time report, simply told the audience the result. At half time, Big Dick announced a chat on Scotland's other club participating in European football and, Tom immediately used the adjectives, "tremendous", "extra ordinary" and, "fantastic". The sellik support were buying into Ange, "they believe in him" and then he eulogised Tuesday afternoon's attendance, "we're talking sixty thousand at three O'Clock here, better than a dozen Champions League games". According to Tom one of those CL matches was Barcelona against Rangers? You need a helluva lot of Brasso to put a shine on a turd, I suspect Tom has been enjoying a fly tipple? To complete the circle, no mention of our score on BBC Scotland's early morning sports bulletin either. No wonder Cosgrove can regularly state he doesn't get Rangers supporters, "they're on the sidelines beelin". We are well done the road to Espanyolification at PQ. They don't want to talk about us unless it's a BIG negative; however they continue to take our License Fees because they have mortgages, school fees and, holidays to pay for. It's a huge efort on their part, maintaining the hatred.

It’s an astonishing return. It’s easy to forget how hard it is to reach full fitness when you are constantly picking up injuries, yet he scores at this rate. That is why I see him as one of our most important players.

I actually think there are a lot of positives to take from that and it could be used as a bit of a springboard. The forwards are starting to find a flow. Equally, it has to be said that we showed the same defensive frailties against an ordinary side and still a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal so we’re not out of the woods yet.

It's what he does, he would never be out of my team

Erring on the side of caution with both Werner and Lukaku out. They may surprise me and and go for 3 or 4, though Compo has it 1-1 which worried me that he knows something

Apart from the injuries to both forwards. No idea why he thought he had to play both.

St Mirren 1 Rangers 7 FGS Morelos.

What are your thoughts, folks?

The difference is that Bournemouth were built around and by Eddie Howe, whereas Brentford are built around their data-based infrastructure, which doesn't rely on a coach - Thomas Frank just carried on from Dean Smith. Brighton are like Bournemouth: when Potter leaves, they'll go back to struggling. It highlights the importance of having an infrastructure that doesn't rely on individual coaches. That's why I'm pleased we have a DoF model.

A decent display one superb goal the other debatable, but we must do better yep you may think I am mad but I demand more ,

The opening paragraph tells you all you need to know about the state of journalism in Scotland The SFA aren't being "forced" to play Parks and Rangers legal fees. The challenged a ruling and lost, the consequences means they are liable for the costs. Price for not knowing your own rules really.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing! it was the right thing to do at that time for Katic

I thought Barasic was very poor tonight, the rest did well

There's no doubting Roofe's quality but I don't the manager has found his best role in the team quite yet. I think him and Morelos can play together but they need Kent alongside them to be properly effective as a unit.
