Good listen, and good to hear Chris Jack and Joshua Barrie who always talk sense.

An Aaron Ramsey type player with an upward curve in terms of potential is exactly what we need. We need more goals from all over the team. So if he is like that sign him up.

This was thier last game of the season effectively, or last least the biggest game they have left. Baring the 15 minutes they had after the goal, thier first chance really - they weren't in the game. For us it was a bit of a distraction from Thursday if truth be told. It was more of a 'must not get beaten badly' more than a 'must win. Manager picked a strong team. Injury issues still apparent. Basically missing a very potent half of an attacking team. Morelos, Roofe, Hagi, Ramsay is a formidable front 3 and midfield #10. Despite this overall we were the better team up until they scored and the entire 2nd half. They looked dead on feet with about 15 to go and we should have went on to win the game. Goal we conceded was typical of the sloppy defending we have been accustomed to. I thin Arfield gave the ball away cheaply in midfield, Sakala didn't track his run so tav was 2 v 1 and tried to pass Maeada onto Goldson giving him space to find a cross to Jota who got ahead of Barisic to finish. At that point I felt Barisic must be finished after this season we cant go on and rely on him for games like this given his track record at parkhead. They had one or two other chances as we fell out the game, Maeda had a good chance but Mcgregor did well to put him off. (what a god awful footballer by the way) Second half we were the much better team by some distance. Really started creating when Sakala was moved through the middle. His pace scared Vickers and Starfelt stiff. They always looked paniced trying to keep up with him. He scored a great goal to Harts near post. Should have scored later when he hit the post. All in all content with the draw, even if we did win don't expect them to lose another game and drop points in another. Onto Thursday which is our biggest game in years.

Under Smith when we got our 9 in a row it was constantly used as a stick to beat us with by the press.

PS what is it with German managers these days? is it a football match or a fashion show. He certainly looked like he had a few tricks up his sleeve. Or his half time job was delivering milk tray.

Beaten by a wonder strike that could have, on another day been ruled off for offside. Credit to the manager and players that was a tough game last night and we really shut them down. We also created a few chances for ourselves. other than the Nkunku sitter and his header I think they barely made a cast iron chance. With the away goals rule abolished there was no real need for us to come out. We could have just sat in for the 90 but to our credit we did venture forward at times. Thought we were really well organised defensively. Ball wasn't sticking up top until they moved Aribo up front then the game really opened up a bit for us. They had a few players in thier team that they paid more for that our entire squad costs (Olmo, Gvardiol to name 2). Didnt really show if I'm being honest. Am i worried about them at Ibrox? No not really. Didnt look like a better team than anything we had played already.

Was feeling confident about this, had a look at the bookies and we are very long odds.

1-1 FGS Aribo

Wright for me. Good performance from him and justified staying on ahead of Amad.

Agreed. Tav also didn't fly halfway around the world injured and aggravate an injury that kept him out for the season.

Not sure what you mean? In reality if there is a fight between us and liverpool for any player its a bit like bringing a pea shooter to take on a warship. We wont come out on top.

According to the oracle Patrick Caskie on twitter the 1 year option was activated so there will be no bosman.

I agree with this. Lack of consistency from ref was frustrating. Well done to the team for winning that one from a tough position.

Surely Roofe has missed more than that through injury. Dortmund away for a start. Plus the euro suspension at the start of the season?

Is he? Him nor Roofe travelled to Dortmund iirc. Speculation over vaccination status. However his recent bout of COVID may have changed that situation, or Germany may have relaxed the rules.

Kemar Roofe bell curve strikes again. Shame but not unexpected.

Looked yesterday and some hotels are at £900 for two nights. Nothing like taking the piss eh

Motherwell 0 Rangers 2 FGS Tav

yep, IMO both decisions were wrong. VAR will not be some silver bullet to our refereeing issues in Scotland. But if it helps then its an improvement.

No. Look at our second goal on Sunday. Nothing will stop people who don't know the rules or have an agenda talking rubbish.

Nothing surer.

Lundstram, clear ahead of Bassey this time (its usually one of these two these days). He is turning out to be exactly what this team has been missing. Took a while to get going but great to have something to build the team around next season.

King was supposed to appear on a fan podcast last night but didnt show up.
