yuddie

Tbf we started with guys just back from injury too - most of our squad are either just recovered, injured or a month fit.

Encouraging performance from Raskin I reckon lads.

Pressing really well here which is pleasing.

Goldsons missed 2 free headers as well tbf - our centre backs need attacking heading practice man. Can't remember the last time one of ours got first contact and put it in.

There's the context of the conditions and pitch being rancid as well.

Idk if anyone agrees with me but I thought we were decent tbf, just a bit wasteful. Plenty of chances, better corners too. I'd make a couple of changes at HT now. Good stuff.

Dream scenario is to be 3 up by HT and make a couple of changes at the break, but that's for our lads to make that happen. Hopefully McCrorie has a gg, the stick he got for what was a friendly match was laughable. C'mon Rangers!

I'd want a pretty strong team for this tbh. And a 4 goal win margin.

The girls won 3-2, probably should've been 5 tbh. Celtic got 2 penalties, one of them being a wrong call that the comms agreed on. They'll be favourites for the treble now.

I think it's at Celtic mate, the Excelsior I think is where they play Airdrie's ground.

Celtic v Rangers in the women's LC semi final tonight on BBC Alba, coverage starts 19.25 and KO at 19.45. Win this and we're probably favourites for a treble imo, and we'll have Celtic where we want them too with recent H2H games. Hopefully we get the win.

How's the josh doig saga going?

Good age, has decent enough pedigree (Benfica's recruitment is amongst the best in Europe imo) and has been capped by his national side. If we can bring him on loan and he does well - and he's affordable on a buy option then it's good business all told. If he flops then punt him back over to Lisbon.

Aye, in fairness to Tav, when he gets it past the wall it's usually destined for the top corner.

That free kick mate jeez-o, that made me laugh.

Pep Guardiola's wet dream.

Raskin or Lundstram are going to have to backup Cantwell at some point, I'm not surprised he's got his knee strapped like he's the only one squeezing. Unless of course he's going against instruction - which I think isn't the case because he'd have been hooked.

Probably mate, he pretty much built British football. I'm glad the board are investing in the stadiums footprint btw, a facade like ours shouldn't look like it's been built on a council estate.

Also, our players will have to learn to play under pressure in our third when defending a lead... Clearing your lines every time will just have you under the perpetual pump - look to play out lads. Idk if you can coach that or if it's a quality issue but it's been happening all season and came to a head at parkhead.

We were okay, nothing to write home about. Ridvan and Butland (shock) the standouts for me. If Raskin can dial in his passing he'll be a fine player.

Dowell out for weeks with an injury and Sterling picked up a knock... Clement must dread meetings with the medical department. Tbh I think he's probably laughing at this point.

Looking forward to this!

Hopefully it's a strong team, especially as we're playing Dumbarton at the weekend and can rotate a wee bit (only 3 or 4 for me though). Won't even attempt a predicted line up, sorry lads haha.

I'll be honest and it's a bit tragic but I only really started watching the team in Eck's second season but... Kents performance away in Dortmund is probably the best 90 mins I've seen from a player for us, the right back moved to Munich the season after so he's not exactly a bum. Scored a worldie on the night too iirc. On his day, and I hate that caveat, he could ruin any defence in Europe imo. I can barely remember Fergie in the cup final v Celtic mind. That would be up there.

Anyone anywiser to these cryptic tweets doing the rounds on Rangers twitter? Is it something to do with Nisbet?
