yuddie

These players are probably going to have to go to parkhead and get a result.

Pffffft I need a lie down haha

A damning trait of this team has always been letting a ball bounce uncontested. Old but golden rule: don't let the fucking thing bounce!

The amount of hospital passes we're firing into Butland today is chronic.

I mean, that's a pen? Or am I going mad?

I agree, he's the only outfield player who I thought tried to put a foot in and win his duels.

Tbh that's as grim as any 45 since coming back up. At least the team that got humped by 5's had the caveat that the players were just a bit shite. These lads just don't have the heart for it. It would be some turnaround if we win this.

Tavs duels over the last few years with Maeda tell you how good (or not) he is defensively. A geniunely bang average player who tears him to shreds in these games.

This is grim.

C'mon lads!

It's sold out.

I'd be delighted with that XI tbh. An actual OF with as strong an XI as possible - I've never seen the like in 20 years of following the team. I'll hold my breath.

Starting to feel the battle fever creeping in, jeez-o. Ent normal to feel it in yer balls is it?

Voted for Tav for the character shown after the penalty miss. Less of that though please mate.

I've seen this advertised for a few days so thought I'd include a link, it's decent value and I'm always looking for things like this to add to my Rangers bookshelf. Here's the link, it isn't an April Fools btw (at least I bloody hope not!) They've sold out all the other prints they've done so if you want it I'd order sharpish. Cheers

Does anyone else think lundstram is moving a bit awkwardly with his touch and passing?

We're throwing in roulettes like they're going out of style hahaha.

What a response! Brilliant lads! We've been decent considering how lacklustre we usually are after a break.

No one can complain about that, they set a precedent with the Johnston penalty. But fucking hell Tav.

This refs at it.

The wait is over! Looking forward to a good showing from the lads 🤞 Hopefully Borna shows up well, we'll need him high on confidence going into the OF. Let's go!

What a tinpot league the SPL is, honestly. The state of that pitch is borderline funny. Clement probably can't believe the pitches he's seen up here.

It's a decent discussion, and I always appreciate it when there's stats in a thread, but I don't know how anyone can go into bat for Barisic over Ridvan nowadays? Borna will clock up chances created in a game because he'll swing in about 15 crosses - if only 3 are accurate he's probably got an xA of 0.25-0.30. There's still a section of our fanbase that just won't have Ridvan, I don't know if it's because he's small or what. It's that classic Scottish 'don't back down, double down' attitude. God help us, we've got a young player with potential and we're not willing to let him develop given game time? No wonder the player trading model is in the mud.

Aye that's fair, I think I trust Matondo to finish a wee bit more than I do Wright. The problem I have with Wright is that there is clearly a talented player in him and we see that in glimpses in matches (as we did last night for the Dessers chance) but he just can't seem to consistently produce these moments. He'll leave with moments for Rangers that we'd all dream to have though so I'll wish him no ill will when he does eventually go. We'll always have 'Hampden Scott' and hopefully that's what the boy will be remembered for.

He's been crocked most of the time in fairness.
