Don’t think Souttar will make it, a groin strain doesn’t usually settle in 2.5 days so it looks like Propper & Balogun. I’m hoping for Sterling at RB just because Marrs has Tav mentally beaten before KO. Jefte at LB Raskun & Diomande doing the heavy lifting and Hagi in the 10 with Danilo & Cerny supporting Igamane up front. This team will have the best chance to win IMO and even then we have to win the battles and not make silly mistakes. First goal absolutely crucial. Just heading over now, cmon the Gers let’s do this🏆🇬🇧

2-1 victory fgs Igamane

County0 Rangers 3 fgs Cerny

Not in Scotland for sure!

Absolutely but I definitely dont want to lose another home Euro game, and would love to put one over on that horrible arrogant pig, maybe even cement his sacking! I agree midweek Rangers is a much better team than weekend Rangers, but I will take another grind out 1-0 win with an OG on Sunday with no injuries just to keep things ticking over and build the momentum.

I was definitely at one of the Malaga tapas Gersnet do's and had a fantastic time. not sure if it was that one or the one after.

Diving - if a player is subsequently found to have dived and there is no contact, or where the player throws his leg out to make contact, they get a one-game ban and a weeks wages fine. For a second offence it doubles. A panel (with no connection to celtic) sits and reviews games on the Monday. Stopping the game for non-head injuries. The game is only stopped for head injuries while the ball is in play. None of this time-wasting where the players go down with cramp and the game gets stopped. If a player requires treatment from a non-contact injury they have to go off for a minute. If they dont require treatment the game continues immediately. The game can only be stopped by the referee, the players cant just kick the ball out to stop the game when someone goes down with cramp or a tight hammy. A clock for restarting play that counts down, 15 seconds to take a goal kick from the time the goal kick is awarded. It can take almost a minute to restart play sometimes and in this multi-ball era that should never be allowed to happen. And my own personal favourite, rolling subs allowed. Players can enter and leave the pitch only when the ball is out of play and at the halfway line but there is no limit to the number of subs and players can go off and back on later.

Thats like saying you'd rather be knocked down and killed by a bus than a train.

Just get a striker in that can score goals and Dessers out. If we can also move on Tav off the wage bill along with dead wood like Dowell and McCausland who contribute nothing we can use the wages to strengthen. But given we can’t do anything until Jan 1 everything on here until then is conjecture at best but probably pish!

Just rewatching last nights game. Our first goal is a cracker. 18 passes, nearly 2 minutes of possession without Nice getting a touch. Every one of our outfield players gets a touch. Obviously a little fortunate with the deflection but the build up play is lovely. Diomande’s finish is a thing of beauty, what a touch! Great performance, great result. On to Sunday and see if we can build momentum or just another false dawn when Saints play 10 at the back and we don’t get the space in behind that we used so well last night.

While it is clearly obvious we have regressed from last season, but it is unfair to say that happened in his 12 months in charge. His run from November to the start of March was very good and won a cup and put us top of the league with 10 games to go before the wheels fell off. He got Beale's awful team playing some decent stuff and things were looking very good. Night and day from what we have seen this season which has been awful. I really want the board and senior management sorted before I would trust anyone to get rid of Clement and choose a successor. I'm happy to not blow money we dont have in replacing with an interim or poor choice when we cannot win this seasons title anyway. Im not happy about it, but being pragmatic.

He started really well but I think he has gone off the boil recently, although I am convinced we arent getting the best out of him out wide. On reflection, I would prefer to keep him as long as we play him in the 10.

I’m not disagreeing with most of that other than comparing the quality on show which is subjective but I know you are not just wakening up to the fact our club bears no resemblance to the club when Walter stepped down in 2011. We have had a few false dawns like we were able to win the closed doors season when us the fans couldn’t apply enough pressure on our team to bottle it so we skooshed it, and were a penalty kick away from a European trophy, but those 2 apart it’s been an absolute shit show for 14 years. Changing the manager again won’t change any of that unfortunately, the issues are far bigger. I’d rather we limped on with what we have and get the rest sorted first using the rest of this season to properly prepare for a serious tilt in 25/26. But Rangers fans in general and the media especially won’t allow that to happen.

Souttar, Jefte, Raskin, Hagi, Cerny I’d be happy to keep. Butland, Sterling, Barron, Diomande, I don’t mind if they stay but meh if they go. Tav, Propper, Ridvan, mcCausland, Lawrence, Dessers, Danilo, Igamane, Bajrami, Dowell I’d be happy to see leave. Anybody I’ve missed is because I can’t even think of them as I’m typing this so I guess I’m not that bothered about keeping. But to those saying this is worst team in X years that’s just frustration as the football under Beale just last year was much much worse than this lot, and then you’re also forgetting the Pedro monstrosity when we lost in Luxembourg and of course the side that couldn’t win the Championship under Super Ally. That’s all within the last 10 years. It might be 1 top flight title in 14 years but we weren’t in the top flight for 4 years and we won the title in the only division we were allowed to play in during 3 of 4 years so a bit of balance would be nice. The board gave upon this title last summer to get the books back in order. Clement got 3 instructions in the summer - take £10M off the wage bill, reduce the age of the squad, bring in players we can sell for profit. First 2 are ticked off and 3rd possible but not nailed on. Having done what was asked I don’t see him getting sacked. I’m fairly numb about league results as the title was gone in July so perhaps that’s why I’m not as angry as others with the current situation.
