Respectfully, does this group of senior players have determination, hunger and will to win? Based on their Rangers careers? Coupled with the fact that they can't run? I'd happily have a team of 40 year olds if they sweep up trophy after trophy but when you're seeing Todd Cantwell doing the running of 3 men in that midfield yesterday and having to be subbed before he gets sent off because of it you tend to think that maybe what we're doing/have done hasn't worked and we should change tack? Sima was flogged like a c**t last night because he's capable of doing the yards - others need to be able to match that. You might be right though, perhaps the Player Trading Model is delusion. It's not like the biggest sales we've made have been youngsters given a chance.

Tbf that team we put out yesterday would be the third oldest compared to the average ages of teams put out in the Premier League this season. We need to bring it down imo, out of that XI that started there's probably only 2 with resale value - negligence.

Sofascore has the age of the Sparta team at 25.0 and Rangers at 27.7.... Am I being cynical in saying that you could see that for the first 60? Nearly three years younger per player. We need to bring that down. Starting with the seniors we've got now and then signing younger players.

Also Sima had a graveyard shift tonight, grafted his bollocks off.

Take that and do them at Ibrox. Beat Sparta and Aris at home and we have 10 points - that gets us through imo. Souttar Motm for me but Butland was a giant tonight as well. Sell him for 5m and I think fans would riot!

Lundstrams come onto a game last 15 mins.

Just about fucking digging in now. C'mon lads.

Tbf Clement wanted this gig, hopefully now he knows what he's working with. Can't be worse than that second half surely?

Respectfully - that was an abysmal first half away in Europe. First half in Limassol was worse but not much. If we get out of this with a draw or win then Clement deserves the freedom of Govan because the passing from us has been hilarious.

Tbh at HT I'd move to a 4 at the back and put Devine on at LB. We haven't got our distances and shape right at all when defending.

We're playing like a league one side at Ibrox here.

Jeez how strong a hand is that?!

Our distances are all over the place here.

Big games from Butland and Sima and I reckon we win this. Tav as well.

Aye I'm over egging it but when Suttons slaughtering us and stoking the fire and Allys just sat there laughing it's just a bit distasteful you know? At least you can see Boyd hates doing punditry with him and calls him out. Maybe I'm being pedantic but still, we need our ex players and heroes to stand up for us and the club - we've been trampled over for years.

Confirmed 3-5-2 👍

Could listen to him all day when he's not covering Rangers - I think he's sunny side down when covering us, doesn't help that he's best mates with Sutton.

Oh fuck me not Ally in the studio...

Tbf Sima at LM/LWB makes sense, hope its not Todd shunted out on the right though.

A chance to sit on the bench aye, I would've started McCausland tonight tbh.

Looks like quite an old XI to me - Beale saying he's brought the age of the squad down is a bit of a myth tbf. Probably would've started McCausland but other than that it's okay I think. Sima is going to have to do a lot of sprints and legwork tonight by the looks of it the poor bastard.

C'mon lads, good performance tonight whatever the result!

Thought Arsenal were good value for their win @compo, had it on in the background and they controlled it for the most part. Sevilla have been a bogey side for a few english teams over recent years so that's a more than decent result - tough atmosphere and even tougher amenities for fans (good bog water though!). Hopefully the Arsenal fans had an amicable time over there.

Watched the presser - Clement just seems savvy compared to Beale you know? Knows what to say and when to say it - he even has a sense of humour! I'll be thinking we'll win it a piece of piss when I'm in the van tomorrow lunchtime no doubt haha.

Agree with most others in that I'd take a draw rn if offered. If we put in a good performance then I think we'd all be happy though, making small strides.
